Chapter 560 – Audiobook
After settling the matter with Tal and Stripey, Leyvi checked on Hana's room with his spiritual sense and confirmed that his son was awake. He went there and spent some time playing gently with Leylin until the baby started getting sleepy again. Being just slightly over two weeks old, sleeping most of the time was completely normal for him.Afterward, Leyvi made his way to Sayu's room. The space was filled with all kinds of novels. Her room looked more like a small library than a bedroom, with shelves packed full of books she had collected and bought over the years.
She often read them aloud in her room or in the mansion's backyard, near the area where Mr. Bison liked to relax. This was exactly how Mr. Bison had become hooked on cultivation stories, which kick-started his wild protagonist delusion.
Sayu used to be Lilian's personal maid. Her main job had been to make sure the gardening-obsessed Lilian did not spend all her time in her magical garden without resting, which could potentially harm her health.
She performed her duty so well that after a few years, Lilian no longer needed daily check-ups. Lilian was still deeply passionate about gardening, but she had learned when to stop and rest properly.
Among all of his wives, Sayu was average in almost every aspect. Her appearance, her manners, her way of thinking, and her interests. She was the very embodiment of an ordinary woman. That being said, Leyvi did not see this as something negative. After all, he himself used to be a very average guy.
To Leyvi, who was constantly surrounded by so many quirky and extraordinary women, Sayu's normalness felt refreshing and even novel in its own way. She brought a sense of balance to the family.
His time with Sayu was usually spent listening to her read novels aloud. In the past, she would personally read every story for them, but recently her method had changed a little.
She had received the Sound talent from him, and the ability she gained allowed her to make any book read itself. The book would narrate the story with different voices, intonations, and emotions perfectly suited for the narrators and character dialogues. Leyvi found it quite amusing and entertaining.
So now, instead of Sayu reading to them both, the books read themselves. This ability might not seem impressive to others, but to Sayu, who loved reading novels aloud, it was the best thing she could have asked for. She had even named her ability "Audiobook."
While listening to a new novel with Sayu lying comfortably beside him on the bed, Leyvi activated his Dual Mind benefit. One part of his mind stayed focused on the story, while the other part did something else. He summoned the Talent Bead menu, intending to give the Taming talent to his son Leylin.
The last time he had accessed the Talent Bead menu was when he climbed the Colossal Tree. It had only been a bit over two years since then, so the Talent Bead should not have leveled up yet.
Hmm?
Leyvi blinked at the menu that appeared in his mind.
To his surprise, there was another new talent listed, even though the Talent Bead had not leveled up.
Sleep talent? Where did this one come from? He thought, feeling baffled.
The only other time something out of the ordinary had happened with the Talent Bead was when Anda's feeling points had reached the maximum. At that time, his Fire Resistance benefit had upgraded to Fire Immunity because of Anda's feelings toward him reaching their peak.
This time, he was not sure what had caused the Talent Bead to add another talent to the list. Nobody else had reached maximum feeling points, so that clearly was not the reason. So why?
Could it be because Leylin was born? Leyvi speculated. Can I get a new talent every time one of my children is born?
This was the only reasonable assumption Leyvi could make right now. Whether it was correct or not, he would simply have to wait until Caterina gave birth. If another new talent appeared afterward, then his theory would likely be true.
Leyvi then turned his attention to the newly added Sleep talent. Besides making people fall asleep, what else could it do? If this had been years ago, he would have thought it probably did not have many applications. But now, he knew there was likely more to it. He just was not creative enough to think of additional uses right away.
Aside from the unexpected new talent, another thing caught his attention.
Bellion's feeling points. They had increased significantly. Previously, when Bellion still did not know who he truly was, the points had been at 40/100. But after they became friends, it had risen to 80/100. That was a very high number for someone who was just a friend and not family.
It seemed Leyvi had left quite a strong impression on Bellion during the one year they had known each other.
This made him wonder what Dastan's feeling points would be like, since he was also a close friend. Although he was curious, there was no way he would give Dastan a talent just to check the number.
With no other new information to explore, Leyvi quickly assigned the Taming talent to his son Leylin.

Leyvi immediately saw his son Leylin added at the bottom of the list, with his feeling points displayed as '??'. He figured it was probably because his son was still too young to develop any real feelings toward him yet.
Then he checked his benefits, curious about what new benefit he might have obtained.
Eh? Where is it?
Leyvi did not see anything new at first glance. He checked again more carefully and finally noticed the change.
The 100% Guarantee Chance benefit had increased from one to two.
His eyes lit up with excitement. He was not disappointed at all that he had not received an entirely new benefit.
He had always kept this benefit as one of his trump cards for life-or-death situations where chance played a major role. He could use it to guarantee success when it mattered most.
But now that he had an extra one, he felt a strong urge to use it for something that was not an emergency.
What if I use it to help Anda get pregnant? he thought. Pregnancy involved a lot of probability, so it should work. Leyvi decided he would bring this idea up to Anda later.
Since there was nothing else to check, Leyvi closed the Talent Bead menu and deactivated his Dual Mind benefit. He continued listening to the novel with Sayu, fully enjoying the peaceful moment. He also spent the night with her, performing his duty as a loving and attentive husband.
Sayu was very content with her life and rarely spoke about her desires, but Leyvi could tell easily. Unlike Sawi, Sayu had a strong longing to have children. That desire had grown even stronger after she witnessed Hana giving birth to Leylin.
The next day, Leyvi decided to visit Coryl. It was the first time he was seeing the place where she had been living inside the Leyan Family estate.
There stood a magnificent coral mansion nestled a little deeper within the grounds. With her powerful abilities, creating such a structure had been effortless for her.
Coral turned out to be an excellent material for building. It was naturally durable, highly resistant to weathering, and incredibly strong for its weight. Unlike wood, it did not rot or warp over time. Unlike stone, it did not crack easily under pressure. Coral structures could withstand strong winds, heavy rains, and even minor earthquakes without showing any signs of damage.
Additionally, coral had natural insulating properties, keeping the interior cool during hot weather and warm during colder seasons. It was also remarkably fire-resistant, as coral did not burn easily. In the cultivation world, coral harvested from deep ocean reefs often absorbed trace amounts of spiritual energy over centuries, making it slightly more resilient than ordinary materials.
Most importantly, Coryl herself was a powerful General Level demonic beast. The coral she created far surpassed the quality of normal harvested coral. Any mansion she built could practically be considered a fortress, given its exceptional durability.
Leyvi seriously thought that if she wanted to, Coryl could become a very successful mansion or house builder. With her ability to shape coral at will, she could construct beautiful and incredibly durable homes much faster than any ordinary cultivator craftsman.
