179 Ye (1/2)

Krune turned to Feifei and said that he had to talk with Lofa first. Feifei, of course, narrowed her eyebrows. She then looked at Lofa and tried to check the changes in the Destiny Energy, but because Lofa had been close to Krune for so long, it was very hard to verify.

Still, she was able to see a little. It was then that Fefei showed a smile and asked Krune to call her later.

Back at Krune's house, he invited Lofa in to hear what she wanted to talk about.

Lofa looked at Krune and then took a deep breath.

”Do you remember when I said that I wanted to be with you before the exchange program started?”

Krune nodded.

”Yes. That's why I asked Master if he could make an exception and let you guys participate too. I remember that you looked to want it a lot.”

Lofa then sighed.

”So, it was really that the reason. Have you ever thought that it had nothing to do with the exchange program?”

Krune was surprised at that.

”Nothing to do with that? But then why would you ask me to stay with you? Could it be that you are having problems in your element control and need more teaching? If that's the case, you could just say it straight away. I wouldn't mind giving a few more pointers. But I believe that Yusa also isn't that much behind if you consider your Water Element control alone, though.”

Lofa felt gloomier the more Krune spoke. Yusa and Shinja had alerted her countless times that Krune was blind to those kinds of things, but to think that it could reach this extent.

”It had never been about cultivation or training, not at all. What I meant was something completely different.”

Krune then showed a puzzled expression. As expected of the 'eyes for Feifei only wisp.' When it has anything to do with love, he is totally clueless to anyone other than her.

Lofa finally lost her patience and said out loud!

”I wanted you to choose me because I love you! I wanted to stay with you because I wanted you to marry me instead! That's what I meant! That's what I always wanted ever since that time back in the Garmon Planet!”

It doesn't matter how clueless Krune could be. When it is put that way, even he would understand.

”This...”

Krune felt that it didn't make sense. After all, he is a wisp, not a human. Why would Lofa give birth to this kind of feeling for him? But after looking at Lofa's expression, he could at least tell that she wasn't joking.

”Why?”

Lofa shook her head and said.

”There is no why. It just happens. You like Feifei, don't you? Then let me ask you, do you need a reason to like her?”

”I see...”

Krune then smiled bitterly and said.

”I'm sorry.”

Lofa also smiled back at him.

”It's okay, I already expected that answer. I just wanted to hear it from your mouth.”

Lofa continued.

”The reason I took so long to confess is that I was expecting Feifei to not care about you anymore. I mean, how could that even work, right? Although we didn't know that she was the daughter of the clan head, we knew that she was from their family. How could she care about a promise that she made with a wisp when she was a child?”

”That was why I decided to wait, wait for the day that you would receive her denial so that I could have my chance. But after finding out that she was coming, I got afraid. Still, I had some hope that it was just a coincidence. But that hope was shattered when I saw how she treated you on the first day. Others might not understand since they don't know about your relationship with Feifei. But how could I not?”

Krune didn't say anything and just listened.

”After we got to train in the Spiritual Pool, I saw how now and then, Feifei would look at you, and you did the same back. It was at that moment that I knew that I really had no chances anymore. So I decided that I would put an end to it after the Spiritual Pool closed. Now, here I am, making my confession.”

Lofa then laughed a little.

”To be honest, I was still a little hopeful that after I confessed, you would change your mind. But of course, that was not the case.”

Krune felt somewhat gloomy, but he soon recovered.

”That is right, I really can't think about anyone else, so once again, I'm sorry. Still, I do consider you as important as everyone else. So I hope that you will still help me with cooking in the future.”

Lofa heard that and was taken aback. Then, she started to laugh.

”What is it? After so much is said, we went back all the way to cooking again?”

Krune noticed that it didn't seem right either, and showed an embarrassed expression.

”I... am not used to this kind of situation.”

Lofa then shook her head.

”It's okay, that is the Krune that and everyone else knows, after all.”

In fact, that is the Krune that Lofa fell in love with. But she didn't say that this time.

”Sigh. Anyway, I won't get on your way anymore. I will take my leave now, too. I need to think alone for a while. Also, the teaching schedule is going to start in two days, so I need to get back to make sure that I'm ready for that.”

Krune nodded and bid farewell to Lofa. For him, there was nothing else to be said. He likes Feifei, and he doesn't have any intention of changing it, so any further words would be futile.

Lofa then started to fly back to her own residence in the outer sect, but when halfway there, she found Feifei blocking her path. She didn't know how Feifei knew that she was going to pass through this place, but she didn't mind much either. They are in the Divine Path Sect, so there is no way that Feifei will try something to her. Lofa then approached Feifei and said.
