Chapter 23 - Dont Curse, Change Your Clothes! (1/2)

Krune made his way out of the inner parts of the Katiu Forest, with his cultivation, what had taken him weeks before to arrive, now only took three days to go back. First, because there wasn't any demon beast on the way that could possibly be his match, and second, he knew the way back so he could simply go directly without any detours.

After arriving at the outer parts, Krune started to find demon beast and wisp hunter groups now and then, he pondered if he should get rid of them on his way out, but after thinking for a while, he gave up the idea.

He is just one wisp, doesn't matter how strong he has got he can't possibly wipe out every single group, his life span will be long finished by the time eliminated half of them, there is way too many people, not to mention, the majority of the cultivators aren't here to look for wisps, but to train or hunt other beasts, it's just that if they find a wisp, they wouldn't let it go, but they won't go out of their way just to capture them.

Of course, there was two instances where Krune found groups of cultivators with captured wisps, this time he didn't let go, he can't simply ignore his race when it is suffering right before his eyes. Krune wiped out the two groups, they didn't have a single Foundation Establishment cultivator, so it was quite easy, he might not like killing, but since they dared to touch his race, he won't show mercy.

The further out Krune went, the more groups he found on the way, Krune hasn't noticed yet, but every single group was looking at him with weird eyes, there is no helping in that, one guy with a rainbow hair running almost naked, if this is not a pervert, then what is it?

After another day, there was finally someone that stopped Krune in his journey, it was a couple who came here just to procure some demon beetles carapaces, demon beetles aren't that strong to start with, so they had got quite a few already, just when the man had called out Krune, the woman by his side tried to stop him, this rainbow hair guy is obviously a pervert, why is her husband calling him out?

Krune looked at him puzzled, but stopped anyway, it's extremely rare for someone to call him out, so he was on guard at the same time, the man looked at Krune and couldn't help but ask.

”Sorry for stopping you, brother. If I'm not wrong, you aren't human, right?”

Krune simply nodded, he knows very well that although people can't tell which race he is from, it's very easy to tell that he isn't really a human, their spiritual energy is very different after all.

”Would you mind to tell me if you have just acquired your human form?”

Krune pondered a bit, but after checking the couple's cultivation, he thought there was no danger.

”Indeed, I have just broken through a few days prior, so I got my human form at the same time.”

The man nodded, it was as he thought, his wife by his side didn't understand why he was even talking with this demon beast, but after learning that Krune isn't a real human, she kept quiet, no demon beast bellow the Foundation Establishment can possibly turn into their human form, so Krune's cultivation is bound to be much higher than theirs, he can squish them with a finger.

”As I thought, brother, you might not know about this but the way you look at moment is too bad, anyone out there will simply think about you as a pervert, you should put in some clothes, and if you are going to the city, the guards absolutely won't let you enter wearing just that.”

It finally downed to Krune that he forgot this important point, all humans he has seen so far used clothes, there was no exception, but what about him? Now that he noticed, he also thought that he wasn't supposed to look like that, at first, he thought that as long as he had his human form it would be okay, but it seems like humans put a lot of importance in their clothes, Krune looked at the man and asked.

”I didn't know that, I'm very grateful for you advice, if this cultivator here doesn't mind, would you tell me why exactly humans put so much importance in clothes? We demon bests have never put them on while in our true form, it just gets in the way.”

The man and woman were taken aback

”Well, brother, we don't have fur or scales or carapaces, if we don't use clothes we will feel cold in the winter for example, clothes could also be use as a means of defense.”

Krune noticed that he had expressed himself wrongly, he already know about what the guy said, but that wasn't what he was talking about.

”Oh sorry, I should have elaborated my question better, I know that clothes help to protect and can guard one against the cold for example. But what I wanted to ask is why someone without clothes is not accepted, in the city for example, if it's not winter you won't feel cold, and with the protection in the city, there is no need to think too much about defense either, so why is it that humans use clothes regardless?”

This time the man was tong tied, is it because people will think that they are perverts if they don't use it? But such knowledge has no use for demon beasts to start with.

”Well, I guess that we will feel embarrassed if we do that, it has always been like that since we can remember.”

Krune felt even more puzzled, he is part of the wisp race, an innately intelligent race to the boot, the word 'curiosity' can almost be considered their second name.

”Embarrassed? It's really a weird way to put it, the p*nis and the vag*na are part of the organs that ensure the continuation of your specie, in my point of view, this is something you should be proud to show to the others, or at least not hide them on purpose, just like us demon beasts. Why is it that your race feels embarrassed to show them? Could it be that your race doesn't wish to continue existing?”

The man couldn't find an answer, the woman by his side was as red as tomato hearing this type of conversation, but she too couldn't find an answer either.

Are the humans proud of their reproductive organs? Well, if they were to chose an option, they would surely say Yes. So why is it that they feel it is wrong to show them around? After ponder a bit they just gave up thinking, if it continued like that, they might develop some weird habit of walking naked in the future.

”Well, brother, I can't give you a satisfactory answer, it simply has been like that ever since, so I don't know how it turned out like that, you just need to keep in mind that if you don't wear clothes, let alone someone putting importance to anything you say, you won't even be able to approach people to start with.”

Although Krune was still puzzled, he could only accept the answer, since this couple didn't know the reason, then there was no meaning in keeping asking, he was just curious, that's all. Krune looked back at the man to ask.

”In that case, does this friend cultivator have a set of clothes he could part with? I'm willing to pay for it.”

The man just laughed

”No problem, no problem! There is no one who will venture in the danger zones without a few sets of clothes in their spatial rings, it's common sense, there is no need for this brother to pay for it.”

He then took out a set of clothes, if not because of his rainbow hair with colors changing all over, Krune would be considered to have a very ordinary appearance, not handsome nor ugly, simply common, that is also true for his height. Krune accepted the set of clothes, there was even an underpants with it, what Krune was using so far was something he made with leaves, it wasn't even attached to him, he was simply using a little bit of spiritual energy to hold it together.

The couple was surprised to see that Krune started to change right there and then, he didn't try to hide anything, the woman immediately turned around with a scream and the man gave a bitter smile, Krune thought that since he isn't inside the city, then there was no need to care about such things, the couple even noticed that not only the hair on Krune's head is rainbow colored, even the hair down there around his little friend in rainbow too, the man just pretended he didn't see anything and advised Krune.

”Cough, cough. Brother, when you change clothes in the future, make sure to not do that in front of others unless you are with your wife, this is considered disrespectful between humans.”

Krune felt puzzled.
