Chapter 36 - Worth it! (1/2)

Unbeknownst that their life had just been saved, Yusa and Ao proceeded ahead, before they say anything they have to think about staying alive first, fortunately, it seemed like there wasn't a single beast around, it might be because of the fight over the Earth Dragon pieces, but they wouldn't go back to check, that's for sure.

After finding a place to hide, Yusa took out one of her concealing runestone formations, it was the same cheap one as always, not very effective if a 7th stage demon beast or higher scan with their Divine Sense, but she didn't like to spend, this was one of the rare times where she regretted not having bought a better one.

Ao saw that but there was nothing he could do either, he usually never carry concealing runestone formations, it has always been 'if things go south, run!' for him. As an wind element user, he was pretty confident in his speed, but now he could barely move.

Yusa came back and sit down, she looked at Krune, or better, that white blue core with some spiritual energy coming from it floating beside Ao. Yusa then looked at Ao.

”Do you think he is okay?”

She didn't understand much about wisps, just that they are good cultivation resources.

Ao simply shook his head.

”I don't know, he doesn't have a body to speak of, so I can't even say if he is unconscious or just can't talk at moment.”

They have a lot to ask but no one to answer, they will have to wait for Krune to come back by himself.

An hour later, Krune's energy body flickered a little, Yusa and Ao, who were meditating to recover, noticed the change, Yusa looked at Krune and asked.

”Are you back?”

This was the first time that Krune lost conscience, he was feeling very dizzy and couldn't make sense of what was happening around him, his body floated right and left as if he was drunk, when he heard Yusa's voice, he simply asked.

”Did you use the the whip or the cuffs?”

Yusa's face immediately got dark, Ao, who was paying attention too, couldn't help but burst in laugh, Although Yusa wanted to beat him again, both she and Ao understood that Krune wasn't thinking straight at moment, seems like that the first thing he remembered after hearing Yusa's voice was the event about the sex shop.

A little while later, Krunes mind cleared a little, at least now he could remember what happened, he noticed that he was in his wisp form and got alarmed, he immediately turned back into his human form.

It's just that... his clothes stayed back there at the Earth Dragon's place, so... this came to be the second time that Yusa saw Krune's 'little friend', although his 'little friend' had normal skin color like the rest of his body, the hair around was also rainbow, just like his hair on his head, Yusa turned red as a tomato for the third time, she immediately looked away while screaming.

But Yusa's scream alarmed Krune instead!

”Enemy! Where? Where?!”

Ao couldn't resist anymore, he was rolling on the ground, his injuries that had healed a little opened again, but he simply couldn't stop laughing, Krune was jumping all around looking for an enemy that doesn't exist, Ao understood that Krune got the wrong idea when Yusa screamed and was searching for the supposed 'enemy' while naked.

Yusa then shouted at him.

”Put some fuc*ing clothes!”

Only now Krune noticed that he was naked, he looked around and found his spatial ring, although Ao didn't waste time at the Earth Dragon's place, he at least took Krune's spatial ring with him, he took a set of clothes out and put them on.

Yusa noticed that Krune had put his clothes again, she then looked at Ao rolling in the ground and kicked him flying! Ao injures got worse again and he vomited blood, but he didn't care, he only thought about one thing.

'Worth it!'

He passed away after that.

---

Night time came, Ao had already recovered his consciousnesses and was using his spiritual energy to slowly recover from his injuries, Yusa was doing the same on the side, it's just that her face was its somewhat red, Krune had apologized to her, this time she didn't complain, he had really saved their lives after all. Krune, on the other hand, wasn't injured, it's just that he is totally dry of spiritual energy, he started to recover the memories before he fainted, he then understood why he lost conscience, that's because he almost killed himself, as a wisp, he needs spiritual energy to survive, but he used more than 99% of it in that last attack, only a very small sliver was left.

'So dangerous, I need to learn how to control myself better in the future, a little bit more and I would be done for, and here was I thinking about myself as someone intelligent.'

Krune had already recovered around 70% of his spiritual energy, with his six Spiritual Energy Meridians plus the high amount of Rank Three spirit stones, it goes without saying that he was the first one back into combat state.

He looked at Ao and Yusa and was impressed, after almost dying, he could few that their control over spiritual energy had soared, looking at Ao, Krune was sure that he could totally breakthrough to the 4th stage without any pills help at moment, he is probably only waiting to finish heal his injuries. Although Yusa can't breakthrough yet, her spirit energy control is obviously much better, she also will have no problems to breakthrough into the 4th stage once enough energy is accumulated.

'Life and death situations can really temper oneself, even I can feel that my planet foundation got sturdier after what happened.'

With Krune back at combat form, Yusa and Ao were more relaxed, with his Divine Sense helping to check around, they didn't have much to worry about for the time being.

Next day, Yusa and Ao were already back on their feet, they were looking at Krune as if he was going to be eaten alive, it couldn't be helped, Krune is a wisp, wisps at the foundation establishment are legends, but that isn't the main issue, how come he was so strong like that? Is it really because of the Universe Foundation? Krune felt uncomfortable with their eyes, in the end he only sighed.

”There is indeed a reason why I can cultivate so fast and have such fine control over elements, that's basically because of my cultivation technique.”

Yusa's eyes were shining, she looked at Krune as if he was made out of gold.

”Is it some technique that you got in the inheritance of some supreme cultivator?”

Krune looked weirdy at Yusa.

”Where did you get those ideas? Even if I had found an inheritance, do you think a wisp could even get close to that? Have you ever heard about an inheritance from high level cultivators without any traps or tests for those who enter?”

Krune poured cold water on Yusa's wishful thoughts, her happiness disappeared as fast as it came, but then again, how did he get such technique? Ao was to one to ask this time.

”So, if it isn't some kind of inheritance, then what is it? Could it be that instead of some supreme being inheritance, a supreme being came at you out of their own accord to give you this cultivation technique? To be honest, even if you agree with this theory, I won't believe it, don't misunderstand me, I'm not looking down on you, but I doubt such cultivator would select a wisp to pass his legacy.”

Krune nodded and looked at Yusa.

”See? That's how you use your head to think, Ao is much better at it than you, try to forget money a little bit when talking in the future.”

Yusa's curious face turned dark.

”Said the wisp who doesn't want to attract attention but have the eyes of the entire world on him.”

Yusa used a special move...

A sword went through Krune's heart...

It's very effective!

Ao interfered after seeing that those two are going back into their siblings like bickering.
