375 Kiirion (1/2)

It turns out that Feifei was correct. There was really someone Cinty liked. Surprisingly, it was someone a lot younger than herself too. Cinty is already 301 years old, while the one she likes is a little bit over 200. Still, his cultivation was close to her own at that time. Cinty was at the 1st Stage of the Void Breaking Realm while he was at the 8th Stage of the Soul Forging.

His name was Kiirion, a Silver Feathered Kite. Cinty came to know him over 70 years ago when she was out looking for some experience after spending some time cultivating. Of course, during the times she was out, she always refrained from using her real form. Hence, although the Kite knows that Cinty is a Demon Beast, he doesn't know that she is a wisp.

Feifei couldn't help but ask.

”He was already over 200 years old, was he still single when you met?”

Cinty nodded.

”It is nothing rare for someone to stay single for thousands of years when you think about a Cultivator or Demon Beast's Lifespan. I myself am already over 300, you know?”

Feifei then asked.

”Do you see him often?”

Cinty shook her head.

”How could that be? It would already be a miracle if we met each other every 2 or 3 years. Other than cultivating, there is a lot of things I need to take care of in the Wisp Worlds.”

Feifei and Cinty continued to talk while Krune just listened. When they first met, Cinty was just passing by forest when she coincidently saved him. It was inside a No Laws Zone, so she found him injured and unconscious. Usually, she wouldn't have minded it. After all, the No Law Zones are places where death is a common occurrence.

But at that time, Cinty was looking for an item for a mission of the Mission Hall called Florked Stone. It was quite a rare one used by blacksmiths when making high-level Spatial Rings. But thanks to its Spatial Properties, it could not enter a Spatial Ring as well. Still, the payment for the task was reasonable, so she decided to give it a try. When she passed by Kiirion, she noticed that he was holding exactly the same Stone that she needed.

She came close and took the Stone. After that, she wanted to leave, but her conscience spoke louder, so she ended healing Kiirion right there and then. Kiirion's condition improved as time passed until he finally woke up the next day.

Noticing that it was Cinty who saved him, Kiirion thanked her. But Cinty shook her head and showed the Florked Stone that he was holding.

”I only saved you because I needed this Stone, so there is no need to thank me. Just focus on your recovery for now. Once you feel like you can fly back to the city, my part will be over.”

Kiirion had spent a long time looking for it, so he didn't want to give it up. In the end, it took him his all to manage to just escape. But the injuries took the better of him, and he finally passed out.

But now, he didn't care much. He knew that he would be dead if not for Cinty, so the Stone was a price good enough for his life. The thing that really mattered was the fact that those guys who attacked him didn't get it in the end, so it was a good enough consolation.

In the end, things didn't go as expected. That group hadn't given up looking for Kiirion at all. A few hours later, they finally found the place where Cinty and Kiirion were staying. The leader of the group was a 3rd Stage Void Breaking Realm, two stages higher than Cinty. Of course, Cinty had a Major Divine Soul, so she really didn't care much about him. She was pretty confident in beating or killing that entire group.

But the thing was that Kiirion didn't know about that! Next thing Cinty knew, Kiirion had already charged at the enemy group while sending her a Divine Sense message.

”I will try to hold them as long as I can, please run! Also, thanks for saving my life, even though it turned out to be useless.”

When Feifei heard that part, her eyes shined like bright stars!

”That's so unfair! Which woman wouldn't feel moved by it? You obviously had a higher cultivation than him, and he was injured. But he still chose to exchange his life to give you enough time to flee.”

Cinty nodded vigorously!

”Right?! Right?!!! No one cares about the others inside No Law Zones, so that really caught me by surprise! Of course, things like love only flourished later on. At that moment, I was just moved by his personality.”

Of course, the result of that suicide attack was obvious, the Void breaking Realm cultivator immediately sent Kiirion flying with a single attack. Still, Kiirion got up once more and attacked again. The enemy got annoyed and decided to get rid of Kiirion first before dealing with Cinty. But just as Kiirion was about to get close, his body was locked in place by a powerful Spiritual Energy!

Kiirion immediately thought that it was the enemy who did that and did his best to get free. But surprisingly, the one who stopped him was none other than Cinty.

”Are you idiot? Who said that I needed your help?”

Only then did Kiirion understand that it wasn't the enemy who did that, but Cinty instead.
