Chapter 576: Food Lovers Should Always Help Each Other (2/2)

Nina fell on the ground and contorted in pain for a few minutes. Her eyes in tears as she thought about what she had done wrong. Eventually, a despairing feeling appeared in her mind. Her already low cultivation had been destroyed just like that. When she was finally able to barely bear the pain, she looked at Krune, frightened. She couldn't help but think about what he planned to do with her.

However, she noticed that she wasn't in Krune's Kitchen anymore, but inside a room. She didn't even know when she was brought here. Her fear increased even more! However...

*Vup*

30 Godly Stones appeared around her body. Krune isn't a high-level Formations Master, but he still knows a little about it from back in the Makui Planet. That being said, he inscribed a simple Energy Gathering Formation on the ground.

”Stop looking at me and sit straight. You won't be able to become a Spiritual Chef with such a shit Dantian. Concentrate on the Godly Energy and start cultivating again.”

Krune doesn't have many Godly Stones remaining. In his spatial ring, there are only 50 or so now. However, he didn't care since he would start to earn more soon.

Nina was taken aback. With their difference in cultivation, she had already resigned to her fate. Even though there are laws in the city, if it is done covertly, no one would be able to tell that Krune did something. Besides, except for her little brother, no one would care if someone like her disappeared. However, it didn't seem like Krune intended to do her any harm.

”This...”

*Pah!*

He slapped the back of her head before saying.

”Stop wasting time. Even if you are still feeling pain because of your Destroyed Datian, I already put out the Godly Stones. If to don't start absorbing the Godly Energy now, it will go to waste.”

Well, in fact, a lot of the energy would go to waste to regardless. Using Godly Stones for someone without any cultivation was bound to lose most of it. That was a very extravagant set up for someone with Nina's background.

She didn't know whether Krune was trying to help or not, but she could only follow his orders for now.

Nina concentrated as she gathered the Godly Energy to start cultivating again. Thirty minutes later, a small wave of Spiritual Energy rushed out of her body.

1st Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm achieved!

Krune nodded, satisfied.

'She isn't talentless. In fact, her talent isn't bad at all. Although I can't say she is a genius, she is definitely above average. At least, she is better than Lino, her little brother.'

Thirty minutes to achieve the 1st Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm seemed unbelievable fast. But in fact, it wasn't anything impressive in the Higher Realms. Just like Krune said, with the setup he prepared, Nina could only be said to be above average. This is a place where Godly Energy Rules, after all.

Krune looked at the Godly Energy Stones in the Formation before nodding. The energy would continue flowing at her for the next three to four hours. He employed her and the others for a 10 hours/day contract, so she would be done before her workday was over.

”Stay here and cultivate properly. When the Godly Stones' energy is over, come down, and I'll start teaching you what you should do in the kitchen.”

Nina was at a loss of what to do. Her mind was blank, and she couldn't tell left from right. The pain that was still present where her Dantian was located before didn't help either. Yet, she could at least tell that Krune seemed to want to... help her build a new foundation? Why would he go that far for someone like her? That didn't make sense in a place like the Immai City.

As Krune went back to the kitchen, he heard Luvile's voice.

”Are you really going to waste your time helping the lass?”

Krune shrugged his shoulders.

”It's not like it will affect me much. Besides, food lovers should always help each other.”

Luvile sighed but didn't say anything else. As long as cooking was involved, Krune would always go all out.

Krune then checked the time in his communicator, and a smile appeared in his face.

”Thirty minutes to open, it's almost time to make some Godly Stones.”
