Leyvi turned around and looked behind him. "Anda, I don't know that the new City Lord has the same name as me. Hahaha! But where is he?" Leyvi scanned the area.
The crowd was speechless. We are talking about you!
Leyvi gradually realized that the City Lord Leyvi in question might indeed be himself as they kept staring at him.
Leyvi pointed a finger at himself, expecting confirmation. The crowd nodded a few times, confirming his suspicion.
"Young Lady Dorin, are we in a dream?" Leyvi asked, rejecting the reality.
"Hehehe. Finally, someone else realized that they were in a dream too! Good job, country bumpkin!" Dorin's mood lifted. At first, she thought she was having a lucid dream. After a while, she still couldn't wake up, and now she became convinced that she had been trapped in a dreamland.
Suddenly, a familiar figure stepped forward. "Lord Leyvi, do you remember me?"
"Ah, you are that Law Enforcement Officer. Can you explain what's going on? Why am I the City Lord? What happened to the recently appointed City Lord?" Leyvi recognized the Law Enforcement officer he met in the office previously but he didn't know his name.
"Yes, Lord Leyvi. I am Officer Barto! The leader of your fan club! And they are the members of your fan club!" Barto introduced himself and the crowd.
What the heck? So this is the fan club that he's been hearing? There are at least a hundred people here. What's the point of becoming my fan? You all should make a fan club for my panda wife. She's the Alchemy Competition's Champion, you know.
"I'd be glad to explain it to you!" Barto continued excitedly. "A week ago, the previous city lord announced that he was transferred to the Holy Cat City to fill a vacant position due to the recent incident. He also announced that the new city lord would be Leyvi Leyan, the husband of Alchemist Master Anda Leyan!"
"I was so shocked and happy when I heard the announcement because I knew that Lord Leyvi would definitely be a great city lord! I had assigned a few members to take turns observing the entrances so that we could welcome you when you returned! And here we are! Welcome back City Lord Leyvi!" Barto chanted.
"Welcome back City Lord Leyvi!!" The fan club crowd followed.
All of this overwhelmed Leyvi. It was just too sudden. Furthermore, he didn't want to be anyone important. He just wanted to freeload his panda wife and enjoy life.
"But why me?" Leyvi asked. This was the part where he honestly had no clue at all.
Anda was suspicious about this as well. The last time, someone gave them a mansion to live in out of nowhere. And this time, they gave the position of city lord to Leyvi. Based on her knowledge, the only people who had the power to appoint a city lord were the Envoy of the Continent Protectors or the Protectors themselves!
She couldn't guess anything the last time, but now she could drastically narrow down the suspect. Who could it be? Who was the person who had set their eyes on her husband? She would prefer the person to be a single mature woman. If she could make her become Leyvi's woman, the Leyan Family would instantly have a strong root in the continent!
The ladies saw Anda's mischievous smile, and they immediately knew that their Big Madam was currently planning an evil plot!
"Hahaha! They must know that Lord Leyvi has a big heart, so they appointed you! Only a person like you can become our city lord! I support their decision wholeheartedly." Barto explained, based on his logic. The fan club crowd behind him nodded with excitement.
Leyvi didn't know what to feel. What would happen if he rejected this appointment? How was he supposed to govern a city, anyway? He didn't know shit about governance.

In an office,
Linda, the manager of Bara City Treasure Pavilion, received a message. "Hmm? Alchemist Master Anda has returned! That's good! I thought they would stay in the Mountain Dew Sect and won't come back here. It must be because her husband got appointed as the city lord, right?"
"It looks like my guess is correct. He must be related to the Protector somehow. Is he his disciple? Or his son? Or his grandson?" Linda tried to guess.
"Ah, forget it. It doesn't matter who he is. As long as I maintain a good relationship with them, my Treasure Pavilion here will flourish! Hehe. Let's visit Alchemist Master Anda! I can't believe she became the champion. I am really wise! Hm hm hm~~," Linda stood up and left her office in a good mood.
-----
The Leyan Family mansion.
"Hahaha! We're back! We can cultivate and train in peace again! Woohoo!" Leyvi shouted as soon as he entered the mansion. He had already put the city lord's matter at the back of his mind after he received information that someone would visit him soon.
Stripey had already disappeared since they were at the gate. He probably couldn't wait to work as an officer again. And Mr. Bison had regressed from a protagonist to a lawnmower as soon as he saw the new batch of grasses around the mansion.
"This is your place? It's quite small. As expected of a country bumpkin." Dorin remarked.
Leyvi's eyebrow twitched. This is small? What kind of place does she live in? A palace? A castle?
"So, where is my room?" Dorin asked.
"Young Lady Dorin, we are already in the city. Why don't you rent a hotel and live there? A rich person like you should have no problem renting the best place, right? This is my family's mansion. There's no reason for you to stay here." Leyvi tried to chase her away.
"What? No! You picked me up, so take responsibility! Where is my room?" Dorin rejected Leyvi's suggestion.
Good lord, this girl is so unreasonable! What do you mean I picked you up? I saved your life! Leyvi sighed. It was easier to deal with her when they were complete strangers.
Unbeknownst to Leyvi, Dorin got hooked on Tasya's food in the past few weeks. Every time Tasya makes something, she will be there to taste it. Due to this, Tasya became the only person in the Leyan Family she was polite with. She was polite with Anda too, but it was out of fear.
In the end, Leyvi gave up. "Layla, please assign the room to the new ladies."
"Leave it to me, husband." Layla immediately brought Selene, Ava, Nala, and Dorin to their rooms.
Among the four ladies, Nala was the most excited about settling into her new room. She has been traveling alone for a long time with only Reddie as her partner. She had joined some groups here and there during her travel, but it wasn't for long. She longed for a place where she could call home.
Ever since she got a taste of Leyvi's manly power, she became completely addicted to it and craved more. She finally understood that even in bed, talent was necessary. Leyvi had developed many interesting methods to pleasure women and his sexual powers were on another level.
The ladies might not realize how lucky they were because they had ever only been with Leyvi, but she had some experience from her past relationships. In her opinion, if Anda has a top-tier talent in alchemy, then Leyvi's night battle talent was equivalent to that. Far above the rest!
Nala guessed that Leyvi's night battle talent might have been stimulated to the maximum by the relational dynamic between him and Anda. Most couples only want to feel good during intimate moments, but Leyvi and Anda were different. They competed against each other constantly to pleasure their partner. They were not thinking about making themselves feel good but making their partner feel good, resulting in a more enjoyable engagement.
No wonder they could unlock a dual cultivation method by chance. No ordinary couple could achieve something like this.
However, it was evident that Leyvi's talent in this aspect was much more formidable, leaving Anda behind very quickly. Maybe this was the reason she was actively seeking the night battle reinforcements.
Regardless of the reason, she was prepared to commit to Anda's cause! She wanted to be a part of the night battle squad forever! She wanted to help the Big Madam to defeat Leyvi! Why? Because it's fun! She had never enjoyed something so much! Even more than her flirting habit!
Meanwhile, downstairs.
Leyvi welcomed a sudden guest. It was Manager Linda. She was here to visit Anda.
"Husband, I'll bring Manager Linda to my room to discuss some matters." Anda winked at Leyvi as she said that.
She then led Manager Linda upstairs.
Manager Linda's perfect hip-swaying movements fascinated Leyvi. It was truly a work of art. No wonder Anda winked at him. She was creating a chance for him to have a better view of Linda's art by going upstairs. Leyvi secretly gave Anda a big thumbs up. A wife of culture.
Linda smiled. As a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, how could she not notice what Leyvi and Anda were doing? These two were still the same. Her elegant sway was the result of her hard work. She put countless hours of practice into perfecting it, so she felt happy if people admired it.
Linda left the mansion after their discussions ended. Leyvi and Anda didn't miss their chances to admire the hip sway again as she left.
That night. No special activity occurred in the Leyan Mansion. Everyone just wanted to rest and sleep soundly after a long journey.
