503 Realms Connection (2/2)
”Doesn't that mean we can gather everyone else as well?”
Feifei nodded.
”As long as their cultivation isn't too high, I should be able to at least tell their general direction.”
With that, there was no need to think anymore.
”Then it is decided, let's first gather everyone back together. After that, we can go in our separate ways with the right groups this time.”
However, Little Arty immediately stopped them.
”Not too fast. The connection between realms and floors has just started. It will still take at least a month to be over.”
Everyone sighed after hearing that.
”Well, we can just wait then.”
Although a lot had been said, it was also done through Divine Sense, so it only took a few seconds. Because of that, Lala didn't hear anything.
”Do you guys know what is happening?”
Krune looked at Lala and nodded.
”More or less. You don't need to worry, this situation will only last a month at most. There is no danger, so let's just go back to cultivate.”
Lala was taken aback. They were quite alarmed just a few moments ago, but they seem to be fine now as if nothing was happening.
”Then tell me what is happening.”
Krune pondered a bit and decided to give an answer anyway. Of course, he left out critical parts like Little Arty's real identity, and so on.
”The floors and dimensional realms are connecting? This... how do you know that?”
Krune smiled at Lala.
”That's a secret.”
”Hmph!”
Lala wasn't pleased with the answer, but Krune didn't have an obligation to answer her either. If anything, at least she knows what is happening. The other cultivators and demon beasts didn't even have that much.
She then noticed that Krune and the others returned to their own things as if all the Holy Land changes didn't matter at all.
Yet, a few moments later, Feifei came to Lala's side to talk.
”Sorry about that. Krune is being very cautious about our time here in the Holy Land. Trust me, he really doesn't have anything against you. Well, maybe the fact that you put me at risk before, but he will forget that eventually.”
Lala was a little surprised that Feifei came to her just to say that.
”It's... okay. Krune already said a lot anyway. The other demon beasts and cultivators probably don't even know what is happening, so I'm already quite lucky.”
Feifei smiled while giving Lala another hug. Lala was already helpless with this behavior of Feifei's, so she just sighed.
It was then that Feifei offered.
”In a month's time, we are going down to look for a few of our friends. It will probably take a few weeks before we are back to the tenth floor. Do you want to come too? If you want, I can help you to find your friends as well.”
”This...”
The offer was excellent since she knew that Feifei has a Destiny Major Divine Soul. However, Lala didn't have any companions in this place to start with. So in a certain way, it didn't have much of a use for her.
'But if I don't say that, at least I can stay with them for a little longer.'
Lala looked at Feifei and nodded.
”Okay.”
Feifei was happy to hear that.
”Great! I will go cultivate and focus on recovering my Soul Power. If you need anything, let me know.”
Lala nodded, but just as Feifei was leaving...
”Ah!”
Feifei looked back with a puzzled face.
”Is there anything?”
Lala immediately shook her head.
”No... it's nothing.”
Feifei nodded and finally left.
As for Lala, she finally noticed what she had just done. She didn't have any companions to be found in the Holy Land, then just why did she keep it a secret? Lala could have said that she didn't have anyone and left straight away, but she didn't. Of course, deep down, Lala knew why she did that.
'Do I really want to stay with them this much?'
By the end of the day, Fie came back from her training. She then collapsed beside Lala once more to rest.
”Lala, Little Arty's training is too hard.”
”Hmph! There will come a day when you will thank me for that.”
Lala couldn't help but laugh while patting Fie's head.
”He is right, even I can tell that his teachings are excellent.”
Fie sulked a bit but nodded in the end. At least, Lala's warm body was a relief for her soul after an entire day of hard work.
Later on, Krune made food for everyone again before they returned to their cultivation time. Fie and Feifei already slept a lot, so they probably wouldn't sleep again for quite some time.
Just like that, a month quickly went by.
