Chapter 729: Not The Real You (1/2)

As they moved closer to the Spatial Gate, Feifei couldn't help but feel strange. Something about the way Krune talked with those cultivators and demon beasts felt off. No, it started ever since he began to talk about serious things after coming back. The event just now seemed to have intensified that feeling. Just as they were about to use the Spatial Gate, she finally understood what was bothering her. Immediately, she sent Krune a Divine Sense message.

'Wait, Krune.'

Krune stopped for a moment and looked at Feifei with a puzzled expression as he asked.

'Is there anything wrong?'

Feifei nodded as she looked deeply at him.

'You... Aren't you being way too overconfident ever since you came back to the Mortal Realm?'

Krune was taken aback by those words. He? Overconfident? Since when?

Krune quickly reviewed his own actions since he arrived in the Dalin Universe. It was then that he noticed.

'Ah!'

Indeed, he had been acting a lot different since he arrived in Dalin. For example, just as they entered this Universe, Krune said that there was no need to be afraid of the other Universes' Powerhouses. That definitely wasn't something that Krune would have said in the past. He was the type who placed security as the top priority on everything he does... well, it didn't always work, though...

The usual Krune would have chosen to go through every Universe while keeping hidden to attract as little attention as possible.

'What's wrong with me?'

Luvile snorted after hearing that question, though.

'Pretty simple. There are indeed only a few who could present a threat to you in the Mortal Realm at your current level. This overconfidence was simply the fruit of your own strength. It seems like even wisps can't escape this outcome.'

Suddenly, Krune controlled the Purple Lightning in his foundation, striking his own Soul with it. It wasn't just simple lightning as he used to temper his Soul in the past. He really used a strong bolt that made him almost faint.

Luvile was a little surprised by that action, but he quickly understood why Krune did that.

'Do you feel like you woke up now?'

Krune nodded.

'Yes. Luvile, if I start to act like that again, just strike my Soul and make me wake up again.'

It was then that Krune noticed something.

'Wait! You knew that I was acting overconfident before, right? Why didn't you warn me?'

Luvile replied as if it was nothing.

'Simple. I really think that you have the strength to be arrogant. That being said, why should I stop you? Perhaps, it would bring you some benefits in the future.'

Krune sighed before requesting once again.

'Please, don't just ignore it. We are already falling into a lot of dangerous situations. Well, I will pay attention to not let it happen again anyway.'

Luvile didn't seem to mind.

'Well, if you say so.'

Feifei noticed that Krune's face went pale all of a sudden. However, just as she was about to ask what was happening, he looked at her again with a smile.

'Indeed, my wife knows me the best. Don't worry, I won't let it happen again.'

Feifei sighed in relief as she smiled back.

'Then that's good.'

Fie and the others were behind the two, not knowing what was happening.

”Mom, Dad, why did we stop in front of the Spatial Gate?”

Krune shook his head.

”It's nothing. Your mother just reminded me of something. Let's go.”
