212 I just want to sleep! (2/2)

”I didn't, I just presumed. Sure enough, you fell right into it. Hahahaha! For once, I got you, and it was just before my leaving. Now I can say that I have no regrets.”

Lucio felt gloomy when he heard that. Truth is, he didn't want to separate from Krune, his life had been a lot funnier with him around, after all. Of course, he would never admit it in front of Krune.

Lucio then looked at everyone in the room.

”I hope that all of you can keep it a secret that Krune is leaving. He trusts you all, so make sure to live up to his expectations. Sooner or later, people will notice that he left. Still, if anyone asks, just say that you also haven't seen him or whatever good excuse you can think of.”

”Yes, Sect Master.”

Lucio nodded, satisfied.

He then looked back at Krune.

”I want Dragon Pork Ribs.”

Krune smiled and nodded.

Soon, everyone asked for the things they wanted too, which made Krune very occupied for the time being.

There was another thing that surprised him. Feifei had come with her mother and father to pay a visit. Krune, of course, cooked what they asked too.

When Milia ate Krune's food, she was taken aback. She didn't expect that food made with ordinary items could be that good! She couldn't help but give a nod of approval.

'At least my Feifei won't starve out there.'

Lofa noticed the new arrivals and immediately understood who they were. It was way too obvious since Feifei was basically a younger version of the woman. Their similarity was all over there for everyone to see!

'Wasn't Krune and Feifei's relationship a secret? How come Feifei's parents are here already?'

She wasn't the only one with that question in mind. Yusa couldn't hold anymore and asked Krune directly through a Divine Sense message.

”Oh, that? It goes like this...”

Krune then explained what happened while omitting the critical parts. When Yusa finished hearing, she thought that Krune was making fun of her. The Krune that she knows would never be this straight forward! Still, the proof was right in front of her eyes. So she could only accept and then tell the others through a Divine Sense message.

Immediately, everyone looked at Krune as if he was someone else. How come that low EQ wisp thought about something like that?

Yusa couldn't help but speak emotionally.

”Our little wisp is growing up.”

Quite a few of them nodded after that comment.

But for some reason, Krune didn't feel like it was a compliment.

'What the hell are they talking about?'

By the end of the day, Feifei left with her parents.

The rest then looked at Krune with curiosity. There was one thing that Krune hadn't told them yet.

”Just who are you bringing with you?”

Suddenly, the entire room became silent.

Everyone had the same thought. They wanted to see this place that Krune was going and check how good it is. Of course, they wouldn't mind whichever Krune's decision is. In fact, almost everyone was looking forward to that. 'Maybe it would be me,' some thought. Still, they at least wanted to know who Krune would bring together.

Yes... everyone wanted to know... with a single exception.

”Rooooooonk... rooooooonk...”

Because of the silence in the room, a particular Double-Headed Snake's snore could be heard now in one corner of the place.

”Boom!”

Out of nowhere, Krune gave a Kick on it and sent that snake flying!

”Crash!”

Ruik then hit the wall, which immediately crumbled over him!

”Who the hell kicked this grandfather? Show yourself!”

But a second later, he noticed the guy with one of his legs raised.

”You... What's the meaning of this? I was having a great dream, you know? Also, I can't go without my afternoon nap.”

Krune smiled and then started to touch Ruik's head. Ruik, of course, got even angrier.

”Do I look like a pet to you?”

Krune didn't mind, though.

”You know, our rainbow sect can't do with a weak Sect Master. So I thought that this would be a great opportunity for your training. Until the day we are back, Lakin can take care of everything. I have full trust in his abilities, after all.”

Ruik immediately got a sense of foreboding. For some reason, he felt like his naps and sleeping time would go down by a lot!

”What are you talking about?”

Krune ignored him and looked at everyone else.

”What do you guys think?”

Lakin was the very first to answer.

”This is a great idea, Master! Ruik should be the one to go and experience all the dangers to temper himself. He is totally the type who would love it!”

Yusa was next.

”Indeed, there is no better choice in this world. With Ruik's enthusiasm for cultivation and training, it might be the perfect opportunity.”

Then came Arlan, Shinja, Cassy, Dier, Juji, and everyone else. Every single one talked about how Ruik 'loves' training, cultivation, dangers, and all of that. That made Ruik himself think that perhaps there is another person or demon beast called Ruik in the room.

Ruik's feeling that something was not right kept increasing. What danger? What temper myself? What great opportunity? Love for cultivation? What is that? I just want to sleep!

Krune then smiled brightly!

”Right?! I also think that it is true. It's decided then, the one following me this time around is Ruik! We are going to cultivate and train like there is no tomorrow, a lot of sweat and effort await for us!”

Only now did Ruik remember about the one slot available to follow Krune into the 'opportunity.'
