494 Fiding Laex (2/2)
Laex appeared outside in a blink of an eye. But when he sat the small group of three smiling at him, he felt like he was seeing an illusion.
Obviously, they were Krune, Fie, and Heavin.
”Yo-you! Hahaha!”
Laex quickly came forward and gave them a bear hug. It's just that he didn't measure his strength very well. Krune was fine due to his cultivation, but Fie felt like she was going to die.
”Uncle Laex, you are breaking my bones!”
”Ah!”
Laex quickly released them while showing an apologetic smile.
”Oh, right! Did you bring Liriu with you?”
Hearing that, Krune couldn't help but sigh.
”Liriu is still on the 5h floor. If he really makes it to the 10th, it will take a very long time.”
Laex was taken aback.
”How do you know?”
It was then that Little Arty spoke.
”Because I saw him there a few days ago.”
Laex jumped back in a fright.
”The necklace is alive?”
Little Arty ignored him and continued.
”By the way, he is in the 8th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm now. However, even 4th or 5th Soul Forging Realm cultivators and demon beasts would find it hard to defeat him.”
Laex couldn't help but look curiously at that thing. Even though it is talking to him, he can't feel anything whatsoever. All his Divine Sense said was that it was simply a colored pearl, nothing more.
”By the way, just what is that kid? He looks pretty much like a Quetzalcoatl, but those flames that he can control are simply too strange. They are far stronger than what a demon beast or cultivator at his level could use.”
Krune nodded. He hasn't explained about the Dracophoenix yet. However, since Little Arty was Fie's bound equipment now, there should be no issues in telling him about it.
However, before that...
”What is this thing?”
Krune laughed as he hard Laex making that question. He then took a quick look around and suggested.
”Let's go down first so that I can tell you.”
Laex nodded, and they all entered the place that Laex was using to cultivate. First, Krune explained to Little Arty the situation with the Dracophoenix.
”I see, I heard Master talking about this before. There is a handful of them up there in the Higher Realms too. However, I don't know anything else about it, so I can't tell if the Higher Realms Dracophoenixes are using this kind of power on their races or not.”
Krune and the others were surprised. But after thinking a bit, the Higher Realm really seems like a place where you can find something like a Dracophoenix.
Krune then began to explain everything to Laex, and Fie took her chance to complain about how spartan Little Arty was with his training methods. Sometime later, Laex finally understood the general situation.
”Fie, you are quite lucky, aren't you?”
”Uncle Laex, how can you say that? Didn't you hear what I said? Little Arty keeps bullying and forcing me to train all the time. He even made dad take his side. Uncle Laex, please, you must do something!”
Laex looked at her and nodded.
”Alright, leave it to me.”
Fie's eyes brightened when she heard that. However...
”Little Arty, just double the training will not be enough, I would suggest you triple the amount.”
”Oh?! I see... I also thought that I was taking too easy on her, but I was afraid that I might be wrong. Seems like I wasn't then. Very well, I will triple it.”
Tears began to fall from Fie's eyes.
”How can even Uncle Laex betray me?!”
Laex snorted, though.
”Hmph! If it was Liriu, he would be jumping in happiness. But you were always a lazy lass, so this is necessary.”
Fie felt indignant.
”I always see you sleeping and avoiding training too!”
”Cough, cough. I'm a Dragon, Dragons can make whatever they want.”
”That is not fair!”
Laex laughed shamelessly.
”The Universes had never been fair to start with. Hahahaha!”
Everyone one began to laugh after that, even Light Spirit chuckled. On the other hand, Fie began to consider whether it was really a good thing to bring Little Arty with her.
