Chapter 721: Grandchildren (1/2)

”Grandfather?”

Krune was really surprised by that. However, he was the most curious as to how Darten came to Wisp Main World. Also, how did he marry Fie as well?

”Errr... Sure, it's good to meet you... I guess?”

Noticing her father's puzzled expression, Fie laughed as she began to explain.

”Dad, I went to the planet you were born before the Dalin Locking Down plan started. Mom wanted to show me the place where you met. While I was there, I hid my cultivation as I traveled around. I ended up in the mercenary guild of Kaley City. It was there that I met Darten.”

Krune nodded. He had met Darten in the village beside Katiu Forest. Kaley City also just so happened to be the closest city to there. Considering that Darten was already preparing to enter Foundation Establishment at that time, it was understandable that he went to Kaley after that.

Darten began to talk from this point.

”I have always wanted to meet you again, Krune. The help you gave me back then was the changing point in my life. I was able to create a good foundation, which helped with my cultivation progress. However, when I arrived at the Mercenary Guild of Kaley City, I came to know that you had long since left. Not only that, but by the time I appeared, you had become a legend there and was selected to join the Divine Path Sect.”

”I was quite confused at that time. For someone from a small village like me, I simply had no idea what that Divine Path Sect name meant. Only after searching for a while, I came to understand just how small Kaley City was. To think that by the point I came out, you had already left the planet itself.”

”Still, I continued to cultivate hard. I couldn't possibly compare myself to you, but I was also dead set on the path of cultivation. My efforts paid me back, and I finally reached the Core Formation Realm several years later. Of course, I didn't stop there. I continued to cultivate while staying in Kaley City. After all, Katiu Forest was a good training ground for Core Formation Realm cultivators too.”

”It was then that I came back from a mission and met Fie. I won't lie, the moment I saw her rainbow-colored hair, the first thing I thought was about you. Of course, it was just a passing thought. Even in my most ridiculous dreams, I wouldn't believe that she had some relation with you.”

”Still, I just so happened to hear that Fie was looking for information about you. Hahaha! The funny thing was that I thought that Fie was your fan. After all, the Mercenary Guild of the Makui Planet often advertised how you became a Divine Path Sect member with your friends. You are the guild's pride in there. Naturally, there were pictures of you in the guild's system available for everyone to see.”

”Because of that, it was not too rare for someone to also dye their hair rainbow-colored. Still, since Fie was your 'fan' and I was deeply grateful for what you did, I decided to help her too.”

Fie held Darten's hand and continued from that point.

”Darten then began to talk about Dad's stories. He even told me things that were not available in the Mercenary Guild's system. For example, how you try to take your clothes in front of everyone to show that you were angry. Hahahaha!”

Krune scratched the back of his head after hearing this old story. He was only a three-year-old wisp at that time. Not to mention that he lived inside Katiu Forest most of his time.

”Cough, cough. That was a minor misinterpretation, nothing worth talking about.”

Fie and the others laughed before she continued to tell the story.

”Well, as I said, I was hiding my cultivation, so Darten thought I was only a Foundation Establishment girl at that time. He decided to help me around, and we would often meet. One thing led to another until he suddenly confessed to me one day. By then, I also already had grown some feelings for him. So what if his cultivation was several times worse than mine? I simply didn't care about it at that time.”

Krune nodded, satisfied. He had never judged anyone by their cultivation level. He was happy that Fie grew to be a female capable of doing the same thing.

”After that, you told him the truth and brought him with you?”

Darten laughed out loud.

”As if! Fie seemed to have a lot of problems at that time, so she didn't stay for long after that. She left the planet after staying with me for a few weeks.”

Krune was taken aback.

”Then...?”

Fie sighed before continuing.

”I had the things about the wisp race, Little Art's Soul transfer, Dalin Universe, and all of that to take care of. The reason I was in Makui was basically to relax a bit after being occupied by so many things. Although I did like Darten, we were separated by universes worth of distance. I thought that bringing him together would instead be unfair, especially since he wouldn't be able to go back once Dalin closed, so I left.”

Krune couldn't blame Fie for that. After all, she was the Little Art's Master. One must remember that the Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere was the core of the plan to lock Dalin Down. Feifei would definitely wait for Krune to come back to Dalin. After all, Krune would have done the same thing for her. Fie, obviously, wouldn't stay behind in Luvile Universe and leave her mother alone.

”I understand. Still, isn't Darten here now? How did that happen?”

Darten scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat embarrassed. However, Fie was indeed Krune's daughter. What might look like an embarrassing topic for others, for her, was just logical.
