Chapter 146 - Ula (2/2)
Ula looked at Yusa and said.
”Shameless.”
”Pfff... Hahahahaha!”
Arlan and Ao couldn't hold back after that and burst in laughter. Ao then looked at Ula and said.
”You couldn't have been more correct!”
Arlan didn't let it go either.
”I'm awed by the powerful sense of smell of the Moon Wolves, it's so precise!”
Joty didn't laugh since he hasn't been with Ao and the others for long, so he doesn't know Yusa well. As for Yusa...
”Hmph! So what? Shameless people live longer!”
She then ignored those two and focused back on healing again.
Ula had a very prideful expression now that they understood that her sense of smell is the real deal. She then asked Ao and the others.
”Can you tell me your names too?”
Ao finally noticed that he also forgot to introduce himself.
”Oh! I'm Ao Sulian. Those three are Arlan, Yusa, and Joty.”
Ao had a good impression of the Moon Wolf. Although she crippled the guy fighting for the slot before, she didn't kill him. Ao is pretty confident is his character reading and couldn't feel real malice from Ula.
Ao and the others spent some time healing and recovering their strength before departing. During this time, Ula kept talking with Ao as if they were not in the middle of a deadly test. When the time to leave came, Ao and the others got up and bid Ula farewell. But before they could leave, Ula grabbed the corner of Ao's robe with her mouth.
”Errr... is there still something else?”
Ula then said.
”I go with you too.”
Ao and the others got puzzled.
”Why?”
Ula looked at Ao and said.
”Because your smell is good.”
”Pfff... Hahahahaha!”
This time, it was Yusa who laughed out loud, Arlan of course, didn't forgive it either and laughed too.
Ao couldn't help but exclaim.
”I'm not food!”
Ula noticed that she had expressed herself wrongly and immediately shook her head vigorously!
”No! That's not it! What I meant is that I like your smell, but not because I think about you like food! Not at all!”
Ao the others now got puzzled, is such a reason really enough to follow someone you just met? Does it even make sense?
Ula definitely didn't need their help, that's for sure. In fact, her chances of passing this test alone are definitely higher than anyone in Ao's group. Only during the first 80 floors or so a group would be a better choice. It was then that Ao thought about something else.
”What happened with your Planet's group?”
Ula heard that and immediately got angry.
”Hmph! Who cares about them?”
The answer was short, but the meaning was very obvious and easy to imagine. Ula is both a genius and a Tribulation Lightning user on top of that. It is easy to imagine that the contestants of her Planet didn't want to stay with her since it would reduce their own chances of acquiring slots. Who would want to challenge this monster for a slot?
Ao's group was indeed correct. When the test started, Fajin Planet's group relied on their group power to get away from the crowd. But as soon as they got to a safe place, they separated into three different groups. It is just that Ula was totally left out of those groups. In the end, they just said that she didn't need their help and left Ula behind.
But as shown in the past, during the first 80 or so floors, it was a lot easier to move ahead as a group than alone. Still, Ula got to this place where she can finally shine alone. But before that, even with her Tribulation Lightning, she still got into several dangerous situations that could be avoided if one was in a group.
It was at this moment that Ao, Arlan, and Yusa thought about something. That's what makes Krune so special. They have never felt like they wanted to separate from him. They only separated in the end because there weren't enough slots, and the one who left to look for a new one wasn't them, but Krune instead.
Not to mention that Krune went together with Shinja, Tasier, and Lofa. He didn't cast anyone aside, just agreed that that was the best way for all of them to pass the test. If anything, Ao, Yusa, and Arlan would definitely prefer to stay with him, not get rid of him like Ula's companions did. Krune truly wished for everyone he's close with to join the sect with him.
Ao then looked at Yusa and Arlan, and it was evident that they were thinking about the same thing. Suddenly, the three of them started to laugh. Ao then commented.
”It's all that idiot's fault!”
Yusa and Arlan nodded. They know that Ao is talking about their soft-heartedness. Arlan then commented.
”Isn't that good?”
Ao and Yusa nodded, and the three of them didn't say anything else. Both Ula and Joty were puzzled by their behavior, though. Just what are they talking about? Ao then looked at Ula and said.
”Alright, let's go then.”
Ula immediately showed a smile that was very cute in her wolf form. After that, they left.
