I Can Give Talents-Chapter 235 – Another Protagonist

"Hehe. Since you're my husband's friend, I will consider giving you a great discount. By the way, I haven't seen Mia here. Is she not going to the Mystic Realm? And... how is your relationship with her now?" Anda asked with a mischievous smile.

She knew Mia Fafifa had deep feelings for Lin Wei, but she wasn't sure if they were together or not. Anda had a unique ability to sense when people's bodily scents intermingled, but it had to be recent.

She could tell that the two women beside him were his partners. Their scents intermingled strongly, indicating recent intimacy. Well, even without her ability she could just tell from simple observations.

However, what surprised her wasn't their bodily scents, but his very existence. It seemed masked by an incredible, mysterious scent.

This Lin Wei definitely had a huge secret! She had never sensed anything this extraordinary before. She couldn't help but feel a spark of intrigue and wonder about what lay beneath that veil.

Thankfully, Anda was a panda of high morals, or she might have been tempted to uncover his secret and become the second person to kidnap him. The thought amused her briefly, though she quickly dismissed it.

"Oh yes, I heard you're on good terms with Mia. Ahaha! After I escaped and reunited with Mia at that time, I proposed to her. She's my wife now. I learned from Brother Leyvi that to achieve greatness, I need great women to support me," Lin Wei said with conviction, folding his fan in a quick motion. The two ladies beside him blushed slightly.

Leyvi was dumbfounded. Learned from me? But I haven't achieved greatness yet. How can you say you learned from me?

Anda chuckled. "I see. Congratulations, then. I'm happy for Mia. She seemed to like you a lot."

Lin Wei smiled. "You're welcome. Unfortunately, Mia is not a fighter, so she couldn't participate for fear of her safety. Don't worry—the Academy compensated her handsomely for the spots she obtained."

"However, that's not the real reason she isn't here. Mia was recruited by the Alchemy Association a while ago for their Research and Development Department, so she's not at the academy anymore. She's already in the Central Region. When we arrive there later, we might be able to see her," Lin Wei explained.

Anda nodded. She had been recruited by the same department but declined the offer immediately. She mostly relied on her Alchemy Vision for her craft, so her theoretical knowledge wasn't as deep. Someone like Mia was far better suited. She was the real deal. In any case, it wasn't like she would ever join any other organization anyway. The Leyan Family is the utmost priority!

"I see. The Alchemy Association's Research and Development Department will surely flourish with Mia's addition," Anda said, well aware of Mia's talent. Her words carried a trace of respect, acknowledging Mia's remarkable skill.

"I thought you made her upset and caused her to run away at first," Anda added with a sly smile.

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment before smiling wryly. Is this what they call a woman's intuition?

"Heheh... You caught me, Sister Anda. Actually, Mia is kind of... a monogamous person. She was quite upset when I married other women," Lin Wei admitted, scratching his head.

"Ah, right. These two are my second and third wives, Lana Rod and Angela Wight. They are also students of Longevity Academy and will be going to the Mystic Realm with me," he introduced, gesturing toward the two women. Lana's confident smile and Angela's shy nod spoke volumes about their differing personalities.

Leyvi shook his head in his imagination. Brother Lin Wei, you made a big mistake. You should've made it clear to her first if you wanted a harem, like what Anda did. She told me clearly that she wanted to be the main wife—the Big Madam.

Wait a minute. Leyvi recalled the past. He had naively considered a harem at first but quickly discarded the idea when Anda made him realize what could happen if his secret was exposed to the wrong person. He hadn't even mentioned the fleeting idea to her.

In the end, Anda worked hard to find suitable ladies and maintain harmony within the harem, "pandawashing" them to be loyal to him and the family while filtering out those with bad intentions.

Without her, the harem wouldn't have been so successful. No, it might not have existed at all.

Leyvi sighed gratefully. His panda wife was definitely the greatest wife in the world. How did he get this lucky?

Now he wondered how Lin Wei's harem would turn out.

"I figured. You should've told her earlier," Anda said with a little chuckle, her eyes lingering on the two women.

Her mind wandered briefly to the time she had attempted to recruit Mia and Norin. Both of them had been clear in their discomfort with the idea of polygamy. Although she was completely fine with the idea of polygamy and even encouraged it, she wouldn't go out of her way to change other's preferences.

"Well, I thought she'd be okay with it, but I was wrong. She initially rejected the Alchemy Association's offer, but because of what happened, she accepted it and left suddenly. Don't worry, Sister Anda—I don't plan on giving up on her. She's my first wife, after all," he reassured her.

Lin Wei felt odd. Anda was clearly around his age, but it felt like he was a little brother confessing his wrongdoing to an older sister, seeking forgiveness and advice.

Anda nodded. "That's good. As long as you're sincere, she will eventually understand. I know you want great women around to help your cause, but in a harem, harmony is more important. Keep that in mind." Her tone was firm, carrying the weight of someone who had plenty of experience.

"I will listen to your advice, Big Sister Anda," Lin Wei said obediently, feeling as though she could see through him. No wonder Leyvi's other women seemed to respect her so much.

Lin Wei's words made everyone stare at him, including the two women beside him.

"Hahaha! Since my wife is now your big sister, I'll shamelessly proclaim myself your big brother!" Leyvi laughed.

Lin Wei was dumbfounded. He hadn't realized he'd unconsciously referred to Anda as "Big Sister" until Leyvi pointed it out. So embarrassing!

All this happened because Anda's big sister aura was too strong.

The group talked and joked for some time before Lin Wei and the two women excused themselves. His academy elder had sent a sound transmission earlier, informing him of their room numbers.

"Hahaha! We spent so long talking that we haven't even taken our room keys yet," Leyvi said.

The receptionist was relieved. They're finally done. I can finally give them the keys...She adjusted her posture and prepared to pass the keys to them when something caught her eye.

She saw someone approaching the entrance. Her trauma kicked in, and she pressed an emergency button under the counter, locking the door.

She didn't want to take any chances with another random meetup at her counter.

"Alchemist Anda, here are your room keys. We will notify you three days later, before departure," she said hurriedly, handing over the keys.

Anda giggled, realizing what was happening. The subtle panic in the receptionist's voice and the quick exchange of keys spoke volumes about her state of mind.

And so, Leyvi's group finally left the area.

The receptionist slumped in her chair, feeling liberated from the torment. She exhaled deeply, savoring the brief moment of peace that followed.

Seconds later, she remembered the door was still locked and unlocked it.

The entrance slid open, and an annoyed man stormed in, heading straight for the counter.

"Molly, who locked me out? Was it Arjun again? Which way did he go? I'm going to spit on whoever did this!"

Molly felt like crying. It turned out the person she'd locked out was President Albert himself. Of all the people, why him?

Dear God, what sins have I committed to deserve this? Am I going to fall victim to the infamous spitter?

Molly questioned her life.

In one of the Alchemy Association building's rooms, Leyvi and Anda relaxed after settling in.

"So... since when did you become a princess, Princess of Alchemy Formulas? Can you bestow me one of your alchemy secrets?" Leyvi teased, a playful grin spreading across his face.

Anda rolled her eyes. "Hmph. I knew you'd say that. I don't even like that title. If I have to choose, I'd prefer 'Queen' over 'Princess.'"

Leyvi chuckled. "Don't worry, Anda. You'll always be the Queen of All Pandas."

Anda ignored the teasing and shifted to a more serious tone. "Leyvi, your little brother Lin Wei isn't as simple as he seems. He's hiding a great secret."

"Secret?" Leyvi raised an eyebrow. "What kind of secret? Is he some kind of serial killer, like that Ori Oregano guy?"

Anda shook her head. "No, not that kind of secret. His presence carries an overwhelming weight, almost as if the scent of his existence holds the weight of an entire world. It's hard to describe, but I've never encountered anything like it before."

Leyvi leaned forward, his curiosity piqued. "Really? For you to say that, it must be something extraordinary."

Anda nodded. "Exactly. If I were to put it in terms of those cultivation novels that Sayu always read, I'd say Lin Wei might be... a protagonist."

"What? Are you saying that Lin Wei is delusional like Mr. Bison?"
