Chapter 228 – Nala’s Luck
"In the future, if you serve us well enough, I might even grant you freedom," Anda promised.
Fantylia finally saw a glimmer of hope. "Thank you, Big Madam, thank you! I will serve the Leyan Family well. You can count on me!"
"Very well. You can occupy that crystal and see whether you can move the puppet. It might look like this right now, but Sawi will improve the appearance later," Anda instructed.
Fantylia seemed to hesitate slightly before another sound transmission reached Anda. "Big Madam... does it really have to be a fox girl?"
"Oh? You don't like a fox girl? Then we will change it. Let me think. Emm... ah right, I remember you tried to possess Mr. Bison, right? Okay, we will change the design to a bison man since this is what you prefer," Anda said mischievously, her lips curling into a playful grin.
The moment Anda finished her sentence, Fantylia shot into the crystal as fast as lightning. Her essence spiraled inward, leaving faint trails of luminous energy behind.
"Big Madam, you misunderstood me. I didn't say that I don't like a fox girl, I'm just... eh? Is this my voice?" Fantylia was surprised to hear an unfamiliar voice saying what she intended to say. The voice sounded very close to a human's voice.
The mechanical puppet also started moving accordingly, reflecting her surprised reaction. Its metal joints creaked slightly as it mimicked her emotions with uncanny precision.
After that, Fantylia tested moving the puppet according to her intentions and felt the movements were smooth and swift. She flexed her mechanical fingers, marveling at the precision of the craftsmanship.
Anda and Sawi looked at each other and smiled slyly. Now that Fantylia had entered the crystal, she wouldn't be able to escape anymore.
When Fantylia entered the crystal, the metal holding it in place expanded and encapsulated the crystal entirely.
The metal that was holding the crystal had undergone an alchemic smithing process, combining it with a special fiber that could trap a soul entity.
The special fiber, named the Soul Gripping Cotton, was discovered around a hundred years ago in a very deserted forest.
It was said that the Nascent Soul cultivators who were passing by a particular small area of the forest full of cotton trees forced their way through the dense cotton in a hurry, but they fell to the ground one by one as if dead.
It turned out their Nascent Souls were stuck within the dense cotton, leading to the discovery of its special property. Subsequent investigations revealed the cotton's fibers emitted a subtle energy field capable of entrapping spiritual forms.
Since then, the fiber has been used to make things that could trap soul-like entities.
During these three years, aside from alchemy, Anda did a lot of re
With many women on Leyvi's side, even if it would be long and difficult, Nala was confident that someone would eventually bear a child for him and carry the first Leyan Family bloodline. But she didn't expect it would be her.
Leyvi finally snapped out of his stunned state and started laughing. "Hahaha! Hahaha! I'm going to be a father! Come here, Nala."
He approached and hugged Nala, lifting and spinning her around.
"Congratulations, Nala. It turns out that horny ladies get pregnant easier. Hahaha!" Leyvi joked as he released the hug.
"Hehehe!" Nala giggled happily and turned to Anda. "Big Madam, is it a girl or a boy?" she asked.
Anda was dumbfounded. How am I supposed to know that? It has only been a few days. She blinked, momentarily caught off guard.
"Oh right. I was too excited. We can't know that yet," Nala realized quickly.
"Since you're pregnant, that means you can't join us in the Mystic Realm anymore. Hmm... who is suitable to replace Nala...?" Anda quickly began thinking.
Nala's expression changed when she heard Anda. "Oh nooo... I was looking forward to the Mystic Realm as well."
"Don't be sad, Nala. Your husband will find some ancient lingerie for you. You stay here and give birth to our child safely," Leyvi consoled, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
Nala felt slightly regretful about missing the Mystic Realm, but it couldn't be helped. Her baby was more important.
Not long after, the entire Leyan Family was informed of Nala's pregnancy, and they immediately celebrated the occasion that night.
