Chapter 23 - Dont Curse, Change Your Clothes! (2/2)
”You humans have very weird costumes, as long as your wife is with you, there is no problem in changing clothes in front of others, in my point of view it makes no sense.”
The man noticed that Krune misunderstood him, he even sweated a little.
”Oh! When I say that you can change clothes when your are with your wife, I don't mean that you can do it everywhere, what I mean is that it is not wrong for you wife to see you doing that, but it will still be considered disrespectful if you do it in front of others even if your wife is beside you.”
Krune finally understood.
”I see, thanks for the advise.”
Krune then took out 100 Rank one spirit stones of low quality and gave it to the man, both the man and the woman were stunned, let alone one set of clothes, they would be able to buy thousands with this amount, although spirit stones are considered the main currency in the universe, people would usually use gold, silver and copper to do transactions that had nothing to do with cultivation, ordinary clothes just so happen to be part of it, and as you can imagine, spirit stones are worth several folds more than gold even.
”Bother, this is too much, my set of clothes aren't worth even a thousandth of this amount.”
The man was afraid that Krune will find out about the real value of his clothes and think that they tricked him, it would do no good to have a Foundation Establishment beast who has acquired his human form as an enemy.
Krune simply brushed it back
”This is not the payment for the clothes, this is the payment for the information, you even went out of your way just to advise me about that, this price is totally fair, I won't be taking it back.”
The more they talked with this demon beast, the more stunned they got, since when are demon beasts so generous and polite like this? They aren't wrong, if it was any other demon beast, they wouldn't care the least bit about this couple, let alone pay them in spirit stones. The man was just trying to build a small relationship that might help him in the future, there is nothing wrong in having some ties with a Foundation Establishment after all.
”In that case, I'm going to accept it. By the way, brother. Why is your hair rainbow? It catches a lot of attention, you know?”
Krune felt gloomy at the comment
”It's not that I want it to be like that, I had some troubles with my cultivation in the past and it turned out like that, I'm also suffering here.”
Seeing the helpless face that Krune was showing together with the reason he said, the woman couldn't help but laugh a little, but she felt alarmed right after, she was laughing in the face of a Foundation Establishment beast, it's not that she didn't know about that, it's just that after knowing that Krune wasn't really a pervert and with the friendly air around him, she let down her guard. She immediately bowed and apologized.
”So- sorry, senior, I didn't mean to be disrespectful.”
Krune didn't mind though, after being laughed at by Lakin and Ruik for several days, he already got numb to it, he simply laughed.
”Don't worry, I know very well how weird it looks like.”
At first the man just wanted to get some ties with the Foundation Establishment beast, but after knowing Krune better, he really felt that they could be friends.
”Brother, if that's the case, take this robe with you instead.”
He took another robe from his spatial ring, the difference about this one is that it has a hood attached.
”Just put the hood up and it should conceal your hair quite well, although it will still be possible to see a little through the front, at least it won't catch much attention.”
Krune got ecstatic, to think that there is such humans out there too, seems like it's not only Feifei after all. This time Krune remembered to not change clothes in front of them, he moved behind a tree and changed straight away, he put his hood up and sure enough, you would have to pay attention to notice the rainbow hair at the front, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, the man looked back at him and commented
”Now it's much better, brother. Oh, right! Let me introduce myself and my wife, my name is Jolk, and this is Kala.”
Krune was happy at moment, so he complimented them enthusiastically, as someone who had seen the dark side of humans so many times, Krune already had the ability to more or less tell if someone is trying to bring him harm, this couple obviously wasn't trying to do him any ill.
”My name is Krune, alright you two, if you get in trouble in the future, come look for me, I'm going to Kaley City, I have to make an ID when I get there, so it shouldn't be hard for you to find about a rainbow colored hair guy who registered there.”
The couple told a few more things for Krune to pay attention and said their goodbyes.
While Krune was moving away, he commented from the distance.
”You humans are really strange, to think that you change clothes in front of others when you want to be disrespectful on purpose, it's really weird.”
The couple was alarmed!
The hell? When did we say that? That wasn't what we meant at all!
”Brother, wait! That wasn't wh-”
Too late, Krune was gone already.
Poor Krune, it seems like he isn't fated with the words 'low profile' like he wished.
