Fortunately, she decided to take up the job after pondering over it for a bit more.
"Alright. The Divine Path Sect has been helping me a lot during the past hundred years or so. I don't know if I can be a good Sect Master, but I can at least try to be one."
Lucio shrugged his shoulders as he said.
"No one is born a Sect Master. Every single one of them has made many mistakes in their time, myself included. Well, at least you're better than this idiotic wisp who won't even try becoming one."
Krune snorted as he replied.
"That's because a certain old geezer is so slow in his cultivation that his disciple had surpassed him. What a useless master."
Once again, the two began to argue with each other.
"Ahem... We're not here to watch your play, you know? Lia's still waiting for your next words."
Krune and Lucio quickly came back to themselves after hearing Feifei's voice.
"Feifei's right. Lia, for your own good, I'll bring you with me to the Dalin Universe so that you can cultivate there for a while."
However, Lia immediately shook her head.
"There's no need. Senior Lucio is staying, right?"
Lucio nodded.
"I have to take care of the Sect, after all."
"Then I'll stay with Senior Lucio to learn more about the sect. I'm not in a hurry to cultivate, nor do I want to ascend anytime soon. That being said, I don't want to hasten my cultivation progress. I think it will be better to calmly learn every aspect of Senior Lucio's job instead."
A tear almost came out of Lucio's eyes as he could not help but say.
"Such a good girl. Alright, it's decided. You're my new disciple from now on. As for the idiotic wisp, I'll just forget that he exists."
Krune's mouth twitched as he uttered.
"Fuck you, old geezer! Is that how you thank me for everything I did so far?"
Lucio shrugged his shoulders as he asked.
"Hmm? What are you talking about? I can't remember."
Lia and Feifei couldn't help but sigh. How do these two get into fights that easily?
After some difficulty, Krune finally finished talking with Lia and Lucio. In the end, he left Lia with Lucio to take care of. He also passed the repelled Ownerless Heavenly Fragments that he and Feifei got so far for her to use. It's just that he didn't intend to look for the rest. Well, Lia didn't mind it either. In the future, she might as well go after the rest by herself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that situation resolved, Krune and Feifei passed the next week together while waiting for those who would go back to Dalin with them. Well, they had been running between universes nonstop for years, so Feifei made sure to enjoy this free time 'a lot.' In the end, Krune didn't know if he got to relax during this week or if he became even more tired.
When the day came, and everyone gathered around, Krune looked quite worn out.
"Dad... you don't seem to be doing good."
"Uh? Oh... Dad just has to help your mom with her needs, that's all."
Darten couldn't help but look at Feifei.
"Now I know why Fie is so 'active.' It seems like it's in her blood."
Krune's eyes lit up as he put his hand on Darten's shoulder.
"So you understand my plight!"
"I do! I really do!"
The wisp and man then hugged each other. Tears soon came dripping from their eyes. It was so good to know that they were not suffering alone. Their father-in-law and son-in-law relationship had never been so close before.
Fie and Feifei's mouth twitched after seeing that scene. Are they really that needy? Wasn't that supposed to be the man's issue?
As for the other people in the room, they all laughed. Well, it's not like they had never heard about Feifei and Fie's above-average drive.
*Pah!*
Fie and Feifei then slapped the back of the two guys' heads.
"Enough, dad! Let's go!"
"Fie is right. How long are you going to talk about these things in front of others? Besides, it's not as if you two don't like it too, right?"
Krune and Darten nodded.
"Well, that's true."
Krune then looked at the rest before saying.
"Ahem... Anyway, everyone is here, right?"
"Yes!"
The group that was going to Dalin was Krune's family, Darten, Ao, Ula, Ewan, Shinja, Yusa, Tasier, Lofa, Arlan's family, and a few more cultivators and demon beasts that Lucio asked Krune to bring with him.
"Alright! Let's go."
Krune then opened a Spatial Gate, and everyone entered it. This time, however, he didn't need to go to the Dalin Universes' realm barrier to enter. Instead, he simply used the hidden passage that Cinia knew about. It was the same passage that Lani and Wang Mei had opened for them many years ago.
Sure enough, they arrived in Dalin without raising any alarms. From there, Krune's group opened another Spatial Gate and went straight to the Wisp World.
Cinty was cultivating in a room with Kiirion when all of a sudden, she looked in a particular direction outside. Immediately, a smile appeared on her face as she stood up.
"What's up?"
"Krune and the others are back. It seems like he brought a few familiar faces back as well."
Kiirion was surprised to hear that and quickly got up as well.
"In that case, let's go out and receive them."
Cinty nodded before a Spatial Gate appeared. Kiirion then held her hand, and the two soon stepped inside. The next moment, a new spatial gate appeared outside the Wisp World where Krune had just arrived.
"Oh! Cinty, Kiirion! It's been a few years."
"Indeed. Anyway, let's go down."
Krune would normally have entered the Wisp World straight away. However, there was a new protection formation around it that no one in his group knew about. Because of that, he had used his Mental Energy to call Cinty from the planet.
They quickly arrived at Krune and Feifei's house and gathered in the living room. Only then did Feifei ask.
"Why is there a new Protection Formation on the planet? That one should have surely cost a fortune."
Cinty nodded as she explained.
"The war between the retaking alliance and the home alliance is reaching its climax. After Krune's protection formation began to protect the Universe's Formation Core, the retaking alliance's situation is getting worse by the day."
"However, both sides tried to come and ask for the wisp race's help, which I obviously refused. I thought that the situation was a little too chaotic, so I had to put that new layer of protection, just in case."
Ao, who hadn't come to Dalin in quite some time, immediately understood why.
"Long time no see, Senior Cinty. Anyway, if I'm not wrong, you're afraid of one of the sides using the Wisp World as an excuse, pretending to be allied with the wisps. That would force the other force to attack the Wisp Main World to prevent further complications, correct?"
Cinty nodded as she replied.
"That's correct. Of course, the ones who might try to do it are the retaking alliance. After all, we've helped the home alliance in secret a few times already. Besides, we still have Little Arty. If the home alliance tried something like that, Little Arty would definitely turn off the Dalin Universe's Protection Formation."
"In any case, nothing happened to us so far, which is good. I don't intend to help any side anymore. I would prefer to keep an eye on the situation and see what happens."
Krune and the others nodded in response.
"Anyway, let's leave the war aside. Feifei and I came back to cultivate, and I brought my friends since they couldn't enter Dalin without my help."
Cinty smiled before saying.
"That's fine. All of them had been here in the past to cultivate before Dalin was closed down. I know everyone already."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCinty then looked at Ewan, who was Ao and Ula's child. A hybrid of human and moon wolf.
"You grew up quite quickly, Ewan."
Ewan scratched the back of his head as he smiled.
"Alright. Everyone here already knows that the Wisp Main World has a connection with Little Arty's Spiritual Treasure. Because of that, we have a constant flow of Godly Energy that's controlled by Feifei's formation. Remember, only this region on the Wisp Main World has access to it. Don't let this information leak since it would be incredibly problematic. You can all take your own rooms from back then. They should be clean."
Everyone soon thanked Cinty. After that, Krune went to the kitchen once again with some of his friends and prepared a meal for everyone. They all enjoyed the free time together, ignoring all the issues outside.
Eventually, the day was over. However, everyone took the chance to ask Cinty's opinion about the places with Godly Energy. They had been out for quite some time, so it might be better for them to go to places where Godly Energy was more concentrated now. They could have asked Feifei, but she seemed to be talking about something with Krune, so they didn't want to intervene.
"Oh, I see... Let me check everyone's condition first. Sit down and try to cultivate with the Godly Energy present in this room. There's just a little here, but that should be enough for me to have a decent idea."
Cinty soon spread her Divine Sense and examined everyone's body.
"Ao and Ula seem to have improved a lot, so you can use a house closer to the Godly Energy Source. Yusa and Shinja seem to have done the same thing, so just follow their example. Ewan, it's best for you to go back to the same place and get a little more used to Godly Energy. Tasier, same thing. Don't try to move any closer for now because your foundation is still a little lacking."
Everyone nodded one after another.
"As for Lofa, you ca- uh?! This..."
Suddenly, a surprised expression appeared on Cinty's face, which caught everyone's attention. Even Krune and Feifei, who sat a little far away, noticed that.
Lofa, on the other hand, became nervous.
"Is something wrong with me?"
Cinty then laughed out loud before saying.
"Well, I guess I need to give you my congratulations."
Everyone became puzzled by those words. Feifei couldn't help but ask in the end.
"Congratulations? For what? Did you have some major breakthrough, Lofa?"
Lofa immediately shook her head as she replied.
"Not that I know, at least. Perhaps there was a change in my cultivation that I didn't notice?"
Only then did Cinty understand.
"Oh! So you didn't notice it yet? Well, let me give you a clue. This congratulation I'm giving is not only for you but for Tasier as well."
They all understood almost instantly. Obviously, the most shocked one was Tasier and Lofa.
"Eh?!"
In the next second, everyone's Divine Senses and Mental Energies covered Lofa's body. Sure enough, she deserved congratulations. Lofa was, indeed, pregnant.
