Chapter 575: Fate (2/2)

Luvile, who hadn't been paying attention until now, answered as if it was nothing.

”Of course, not. Here in the Higher Realms, you only gain 'lifespan immortality' once you reach the Godly Fusion Realm. Before that, everyone has lifespans. That's how the laws of the Higher Realms work. Oh, Right! Anyone below the Divine Path Realm will not have their lifespan increased with breakthroughs. Only after you reach the Divine Path Realm will it grow. Just like the Lower Realms, it will double at each breakthrough after that Realm.”

Krune's mouth twitched.

”Couldn't you tell me earlier? Doesn't that mean that my lifespan is running low at this very moment?”

Luvile didn't seem to care, though.

”I simply thought that there was no point in saying it. With your talent, there is no way you will run out of lifespan. That being said, why should you care? It is a problem that has nothing to do with you.”

Krune couldn't help but sigh. It's true that with Godly Energy, he isn't afraid of running out of it. Still, he preferred to know it beforehand.

Krune then looked at Nina, who seemed to be puzzled by his expression.

”Cough, cough... You can continue. You said that you wanted to become a Spiritual Chef because of your little brother, right?”

Nina's eyes shined when she thought about him.

”Yes! I only have my little brother as a family. Anyway, before the Divine Path Realm, everyone needs to eat too.”

Krune was taken aback again. He didn't know that they also couldn't survive with Godly Energy alone before the Divine Path Realm. Nevertheless, he didn't stop Nina this time and let her continue.

”However, we were pretty poor, so we often starved. To be honest, people dying of starvation isn't anything uncommon in our region. There was a time that we really got close to die as well. But just then, a man who was passing by offered us some food. Not only to us but to the other kids around as well.”

Nina's memories of that time were still as clear as water.

”That was the best food we had ever eaten in our lives. It was delicious, and above all, full of energy. Because of our low cultivation, it was enough to restore our bodies by the time we finished eating. I will never forget the eyes of my little brother and the other boys and girls around.”

Nina couldn't help but laugh a bit at this point.

”My little brother was only six that year, so he was quite naive. He looked at the man and asked. 'Are you a saint?' The man, of course, laughed out loud after hearing that. He just patted my little brother's head before answering. 'I'm just a low-level Spiritual Chef who happened to be passing through here. Since I had some food remaining, I simply decided to share it with you. It was much better than letting it go to waste.'”

”Still, my admiration for what that man did, especially by the food he cooked, is vivid today. I had decided at that moment that I would definitely become a Spiritual Chef in the future.”

Krune nodded. Such an event would really fire up one's determination. His own reason to become a chef wasn't that dramatic. Still, he will never forget the head chef in the village beside Katiu Forest. Just like Nina, Krune deeply admired that man. He still remembers how he helped his son, Darten, with his foundation to pay for the recipe book.

Krune was just about to take Nina in when someone knocked on his room's door. Right after, a young man called Bai Lakkeu entered. He was one of the previously hired employees that Krune got. He was also the guy who would take care of the payments.

”Sir, there is a boy outside who seems to be looking for this lady.”

”Ah!”

Nina immediately got up and apologized.

”Sorry, Sir. I told him that I would be doing an interview for a job today, so I also gave him the address to come after he finished his work. I didn't expect him to come so early.”

Krune smiled and shook his head.

”That's not a problem. Bai, you can bring him in.”

Bai nodded and quickly went out. A minute later, the boy arrived in the room.

When Krune saw the boy, he couldn't help but feel surprised. After that, he laughed out loud.

”Aren't you the boy who guided me to the Heavenly Tastes Restaurant?”

The boy was also surprised to see Krune again. There is no way he would forget that man's rainbow-like hair and eyes.

Nina quickly introduce him.

”This is my little brother, Lino Lavaneg.”

Krune then looked at Nina and could tell that they indeed had similar features.

'I wonder if this is what others call fate.'
