398 Hobbek and Rannia (2/2)

”Collect Heavenly Fragments, fight for the Luvile Universe in the Heavenly Competition, and all the burden that would be coming next. Don't you feel like now that we are free from all of that, it might not really be a bad thing? After all, I still have you, so it's not like I needed anything else from the start.”

Rannia was taken aback. Deep down, she always thought that she and Hobbek's relationship wasn't frank. That they were both just using each other to achieve greatness. Because of that, she couldn't help but get a little red after his last words. After all, there isn't really a need for them to stay together anymore. She felt like this was the first time that she knew Hobbek's real feelings.

”Hum... I guess it is worth a try. But what should we do once we reach the Divine Path Realm? After all, we would be forced out of Dalin at that point. Because we are not going back to report everything straight away now, the Palace might take it at us once we enter the Luvile Universe.”

Hobbek laughed.

”That is simple. Several powers in the Dalin Universe can allow us to stay as long as we join them. So why don't we do just that? Even if we decide to not join anyone, it is not as if we can't select another Universe to go after here instead of going back to Luvile.”

Suddenly, Hobbek noticed something and couldn't help but comment.

”It's quite weird, don't you think? I feel like this is the first time ever since I found out to have a Heavenly Fragment that I'm making my own decisions. So far, I always followed the Palace's orders. In fact, I believe it is the same thing for you too.”

Rannia was taken aback once more.

”That... seems to be true.”

It was then that she remembered Feifei and Krune. Those two were obviously not following anyone's rules and certainly didn't care about the Heavenly Fragments either. They even tried to destroy them so that they could get their peaceful life back. Not only that, but they also had a child... probably. It was still somewhat hard to believe that the kid was Krune's. But for some reason, Rannia also felt like it wasn't a lie.

”Hobbek... do you want a child?”

Hobbek felt like he was struck by lightning.

”Say what?!”

He looked at Rannia, who seemed to have gotten even redder.

”You said that we were making our own decisions, right? This would obviously be our own decisions as well.”

Hobbek scratched the back of his head. He felt like this was the first time that he and Rannia had ever really 'talked' with each other.

It was then that Rannia noticed that she forgot the situation that they were in. Which made her feel like an idiot. They have almost no cultivation at the moment. So it would not be a good idea to do that now.

”O-Of course, I'm not talking about now. How could we do that at the moment like this, right? We first need to recover our cultivations and then we ca-”

Suddenly, Hobbek covered Rannia's mouth with his finger.

”I want it now.”

Rannia was surprised by that, but then she started to laugh.

”Sure, but I believe it would be better for us to recover our injuries first, right?”

Hobbek felt embarrassed at that comment. Of course, they need to at least recover their bodies to the peak state. It was a good thing that they had several healing pills in their Spatial Rings, so a full recovery wouldn't be a problem.

”Ri-Right...”

Ever since that day, Hobbek and Rannia disappeared from everyone's radar. No one knows if they would appear once again.
