Moments later, more footsteps echoed from the mine, and a group of ladies emerged from the entrance. Cempaka swiftly positioned herself in front of Anda, ready to shield her savior as always.
"Everyone, look! The molester's over there! Ava already beat him up!" Barbara exclaimed, pointing dramatically at Leyvi, who was dusting himself off amidst the rubble.
Lilian spotted Leyvi and lit up with excitement, ready to rush toward him with her usual enthusiasm, but a sudden burst of aura stopped her in her tracks.
Among the ladies emerging from the mine, one in particular radiated pure fury. Her murderous intent surged like a wave, her beautiful face twisting into something savage, as if she were about to rip Leyvi to pieces with her bare hands.
Her intense emotions washed over the group, thick and palpable, reaching Anda, who sensed the depth of her pain.
From the overwhelming emotional scent, Anda understood that Viola's trauma from the tragedy she had endured ran so deep that healing might be impossible, and the word "molester" had clearly triggered this explosive reaction.
Meanwhile, Leyvi observed the women emerging from the mine, his attention narrowing to the one glaring at him like he owed her a lifetime of vengeance.
That must be Viola. Anda saved her from two men. But why is she so furious with me? What did I do? he wondered, confusion knitting his brow.
As Viola took a step forward, her aura flaring with intent to attack, Anda swiftly moved in front of her and gently placed a hand on her shoulder, her voice calm but firm. "Viola, calm down. That's my husband, not a molester. Barbara misunderstood the situation."
But Anda already knew it wouldn't be easy to calm Viola once she reached this state, so she released a dense calming scent around her. It was a scent she had replicated after studying the potent scent of the bamboo shoot gifted by Lapin. Though not quite as strong, her copy could still soothe turbulent emotions.
With the scent working its magic, Viola's breathing slowed. Her fierce aura faded, her contorted expression softened, and her usual beauty returned. Finally, Anda's words registered.
"I'm sorry, Big Madam. My emotions got the best of me again. Thankfully, I haven't done anything horrible to your husband yet," Viola said, looking ashamed.
Since the tragedy, she has often suffered nightmares. Whenever her emotions spiraled out of control, she transformed into a violent, merciless demon. If Cempaka were present, she would restrain her until exhaustion took over. If Anda were nearby, the calming scent would usually do the trick.
"Don't worry about it. My husband is a tough man. Look, he just got kicked hard by Ava and came out completely fine. You know how strong she is," Anda said, trying to ease the guilt Viola carried.
Hearing that, Lilian snapped out of her daze. "Oh right! Leyvi!"
She dashed toward him, excitement radiating from her every step. Her gardening outfit did little to restrain the impressive movement of her large melons as she ran.
"Leyvi! I missed you!" Lilian cried, throwing her arms around him and burying his face in her bountiful chest.
Leyvi initially welcomed Lilian's enthusiastic hug, but his excitement turned to confusion when an unfamiliar voice came from her mouth, startling him with its clarity.
Huh? What's going on? Is this really Lilian? Whose voice is that? Leyvi wondered, doubts swirling in his mind, but the unmistakable size, softness, and familiar scent of her curves confirmed it was indeed Lilian, leaving him to question if she had encountered a fortuitous event that healed her birth defect.
"Lilian, your voice… is it healed?" Leyvi asked, his head finally emerging from the enveloping valley of her embrace.
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you!" Lilian exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Leyvi, Leyvi, a goddess healed my voice, and how is it, do you like it, is it nice?"
While conversing, the two began walking to the group with Lilian hugging his arm.
"Huh? A goddess?" Leyvi said, stunned, wondering if Lilian was caught in some hallucination.
"Yes, a very, very beautiful woman saved my life and healed my voice, and then she became my divine mentor before leaving right away," Lilian chattered enthusiastically, barely pausing for breath. "You know the funny thing? She only accepted me as her disciple because we have the same-sized boobs, what a wonderful coincidence!"
Leyvi's jaw dropped, his mind reeling as he scrutinized her from head to toe while she continued her animated tale, and after a few moments, he reached a conclusion.
I see, so she stumbled into a magical place, likely a nature-born formation, which put her in an illusion while enhancing her body, healing her birth defect, making her more beautiful, and boosting her cultivation significantly, truly impressive! Leyvi nodded, satisfied with his deduction.
Leyvi couldn't help but notice that Lilian's personality had changed quite a bit. She used to be more reserved, only showing real excitement when talking about plants. But now, she was talkative, cheerful, and much more forward. Could having a real voice make that much of a difference in someone? Then again, Vivian did mention that Lilian had become extremely introverted in the past because of her muteness.
"Leyvi, is my voice nice? You haven't answered that yet," Lilian asked, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Leyvi smiled. "Yes, yes. Your voice is very nice. Probably the nicest voice to listen to, hahaha!" he praised her.
"Hehehe. Later in bed, I can finally moan out loud too. I was always envious of hearing the other sisters making such nice and sexy sounds. I wanted to do it too, together with everyone. Leyvi... can we try it now? Just the two of us first. I want to practice my moaning voice," Lilian said, turning her head to look at him.
But instead of an answer, she was met with Leyvi's awkward expression. Her gaze shifted around. Only then did she realize they had already arrived at the group. Everyone had heard what she just said.
Lilian's face flushed red in an instant. Mortified, she quickly hid behind Leyvi's back.
The other ladies stood there, frozen, their expressions a mix of embarrassment and disbelief. Hearing something so intimate so casually… and wait, together with everyone?
Seraphina, Viola, and Barbara all slowly turned their heads toward Anda. Even Cempaka, who normally didn't react to anything, looked over at her, still expressionless.
Anda, of course, wore a mischievous smile and responded with a confident thumbs-up, as if proudly endorsing their group activities.
That only made the others blush even more. Then, as if by unspoken agreement, they all turned to Ava, waiting for her reaction.
Ava fidgeted under the group's stares and blurted out, "Why are you all looking at me like that? I haven't done anything like that yet! Stop staring!" Her defensive tone echoed through the group.
Yet? Anda chuckled inwardly, her eyes glinting with mischief. Oh, sister Ava, it's only a matter of time. She then glanced at Viola, whose blush hadn't faded, and noted that general sexual topics didn't trigger her, suggesting her trauma stemmed from something specific, likely non-consensual acts, which gave Anda hope that Viola's pain might one day be healed.
Leyvi, sensing the awkward tension, clapped his hands and announced, "Hahaha, hello everyone, my name is Leyvi Leyan, and as you already know, I'm the husband of Anda, Lilian, and Ava, so it's nice to meet you all!" His cheerful introduction aimed to diffuse the embarrassment hanging over the group.
Among the ladies, Barbara's face burned the brightest, her mind replaying how she'd mistaken Leyvi for a molester and caused Ava to kick him, with the image of him fondling Anda's curves still vivid in her memory.
Seraphina stepped forward, her chin raised haughtily, and said, "Hmm, you look like a country bumpkin, and you're not even handsome, so I don't see anything special about you, and I have no idea why Big Madam Panda married you, or why Lilian and Ava did too. Did you ladies get tricked by him?"
Leyvi kept a calm expression, but inwardly, he sighed.
Ah... so this arrogant lady must be Seraphina. She's definitely the problematic one. No wonder Anda wasn't too fond of her. Lady, you better tread carefully or you'll find yourself on the receiving end of a panda's wrath.
Anda smirked and said, "Seraphina, if you're so curious why I married him, why not go to bed with my husband? He'll give you the deepest answer you could imagine." Her mischievous tone reignited the steamy atmosphere among the group.
Leyvi face-palmed, thinking, This panda. I tried to clear the awkward air, and she drags us right back into it.
Seraphina's face flushed with indignation, and she snapped, "Why would I go to bed with this country bumpkin? Aren't you ashamed, you panda lady? We noble ladies don't engage in such vulgar activities."
Anda tilted her head, her smile growing even more playful, and replied, "Oh, well, on second thought, I don't want you getting any answers from my husband, because I wouldn't want him catching some strange disease, and as a responsible wife, I must protect him from such risks."
