Chapter 102 - Food Can Conquer Ones Heart. (2/2)
Ao and Arlan smiled bitterly.
”Cough, cough. Our friend Krune here has a Divine Sense able to cover almost 40 kilometers, can you do better than that?”
Loja's jaw dropped! 50 kilometers? The Foundation Establishment with the biggest Divine Sense range she ever saw could only reach 22 kilometers! How the hell did Krune achieve this monstrous Soul Power? Not to mention that he is still at the 8th stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, it's not even the peak of the 9th stage like her.
”That- That I can't do.”
Let alone 40 kilometers; she couldn't reach even 20!
”Maybe... Oh, I know! I'm a three stars alchemist, so I brought quite a few healing pills with me. I don't mind sharing it with you in case you get injured.”
Arlan and Ao's smiles got even bitter.
”Well, our friend Krune here is a peak Four Stars Alchemist himself. Healing pill or any other pill is definitely not a problem for him.”
Lofa almost fainted right there and then. She came from the Ice Continent, so she knows very little about Krune. Let's not forget the fact that until recently, no one of the other four continents' Mercenary Guilds had ever cared about the Yule Continent to start with.
”Errr... I know a little bit about formations, I might be able to set up a few traps.”
Arlan and Ao had finally become helpless, Lofa looked at them and was even afraid to ask already. But Krune still gave her the final blow.
”I'm already a Four Start Formations Masters. We are good in that requisite too.”
Lofa finally started crying.
'What are you? A God?!'
Arlan and Ao looked at that and sighed; they know way too well how that feels.
In the end, Lofa didn't have any other skill with which she could help them. She simply shook her head and said.
”Sorry, that is all I'm capable of. Other than that, I can only cook some of my home country food.”
Krune's eyes immediately lit up!
”Great! You are in!”
Ao and Arlan almost vomited blood. Brother, what happened with your priorities? just where are your principles?
Lofa wasn't any better. She couldn't help but think.
'Since when cooking became a skill necessary for this first phase of the Martial Gathering?'
Krune's teammates were helpless. Just by looking at those shining eyes, it was evident that it would be useless to speak reason with Krune anymore.
Krune immediately grabbed Loja's hand and left straight away. They just finished a major battle, and they need to recover their spiritual energy before moving forward, especially Krune, who needs to restore the power of the Tribulation Lightning in his Elemental Core. So he took this chance to talk with Loja about what kind of food she could prepare.
Lofa was as red as a tomato, Krune was flying back to his previous group hideout while holding her hand! They totally looked like a couple at the moment. Krune, of course, didn't notice any of that. In his head, there was only one word. Food! He couldn't wait to share some recipes with her as soon as possible.
Ao and Arlan, on the other hand, obviously noticed that situation. But they didn't say anything and just sighed. Even Arlan had already come to know that Krune doesn't have those kinds of thoughts at all! There is no doubt that he only cared about the food that Lofa could make at the moment.
After arriving there, Krune immediately set up a table and the fire. He then called Lofa over and made her start cooking. Surprisingly, Lofa really did have some ingredients from her country in her spatial ring. Her love for cooking and food might not be as big as Krune's, but she still liked to cook when she needed to get some distraction. That was her way of putting her mind out of cultivation.
Ao and Arlan helped with what they could, and soon, a new dish was already served. Krune tasted that and was delighted! The food was really good. He also got some ideas about how to make it again but using his own methods and skills. After finishing eating, Krune looked at Lofa and said.
”Don't worry. I will definitely protect you until the very end!”
Lofa immediately turned her vision away from Krune's gaze. She was almost having a heart attack at that moment. Ao and Arlan started to feel pity for Lofa, though. She definitely is taking all that bullshit wrong. In the end, they could only use Divine Sense to tell her what was really happening.
