"Yo! Long time no see."
Bary and Mile, as well as the others present, were really shocked to see Krune again.
"This... Indeed. It has been a very long time."
Krune smiled as he said.
"I heard that Fie came to visit you a few times."
"Indeed. I've met your daughter. I was quite surprised to see that you've succeeded in leaving a descendant. Really impressive. She's now married to Darten, which is even more of a surprise. Not only that, but you also have grandchildren now. How envious."
Bary then looked at the rest of the people in the room before saying.
"Let's end our work here. As you can see, we have quite an important guest."
Krune shook his head as he said.
"There's no need. In fact, I only came here to give you and Mile something. After that, I'm heading straight back to Dalin. I probably won't come back anytime soon after that."
Mile and Bary became puzzled.
"Something for us? You do know that your connection with the Divine Path Sect has helped us tremendously already, right? There's really no need for you to give us anything else. Our country's Mercenary Guild even became the most powerful in Makui Planet. How could we ask for anything else?"
Krune shook his head again.
"No. It has nothing to do with increasing your power or resources."
Krune then opened his communicator and passed the same technique to Mile and Bary.
"There you go. I'll also leave it on the Divine Path Sect's public network, so it should spread around soon. However, I wanted to give it to you two first."
Mile and Bary looked at each other before looking at the new files they got. As soon as they did, they were shocked once more.
"This... Is this real?"
Mile and Bary looked at Krune... or so they tried. However, when they took their attention away from the files on their communicator, Krune was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did he go?"
One of the subordinates around them soon said.
"He simply disappeared in midair."
Mile and Bary understood that Krune had teleported away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sigh... We keep creating more debts with him every time we see him."
Mile agreed with him.
"Indeed. To think that the thing we have been worrying about for so long would be resolved just like this."
Bary closed his communicator after that.
"Alright. Let's finish our job, and then we ca-"
*Grab!*
"Fuck the work. We're leaving!"
"Wait! We still haven-!"
*Swish!*
Before he could finish talking, Mile pulled him away, much to the confusion of the others.
"Just what was it that they received from Krune for Mile to be that desperate?"
"It's probably a new technique."
"What kind?"
"How would I know? However, you heard Senior Krune, right? The technique will soon spread around. We will know of it sooner or later."
Bary and Mile disappeared for an entire month after that. No one knew what they were doing. However, because it had a connection with Krune, everyone kept doing their best at their job, waiting for Bary and Mile to come back. Well, the couple did really return after that. It's just that Mile was pregnant by that time. Anyway, that was a story for the future.
Krune had passed by the Divine Path Sect real quickly before leaving the technique with his master. After that, he went straight back to Dalin. Other than Lucio and Bary's group, no one knew that Krune had passed by again.
Back in the Dalin Universe, Krune didn't know what happened to Bary and Mile. Well, he didn't need to know since he could already imagine.
Feifei noticed that Krune had returned and couldn't help but ask.
"Where did you go?"
Krune smiled and explained what he went to do.
"Oh! That's nice. It seems like many mixed-race couples will have a lot of fun during the next few years."
"Hahaha! Indeed. They definitely will."
Krune then sat on the sofa with Feifei to relax.
"Well, it seems we can spend our time cultivating calmly from now on."
Feifei nodded.
"We do. It will take many years for us to reach the peak of the Divinity Realm anyway. Of course, we can use Top Quality Godly Energy Stones to speed up the process."
Krune agreed with her.
"Indeed. However, I was already considering that part. In any case, your cultivation will be slower than mine since you didn't get in contact with the Laws of the Godly Path Realm. Because of that, your body and foundation aren't at the Godly level yet. That being said, I will use lower quality stones so that we can maintain the same speed."
Feifei knew why Krune was doing that. He didn't want to go out without her anymore. He felt guilty that he made her wait for over a hundred years.
"Thanks. I'll make sure to do my best to not delay you."
Feifei then dropped her head a little before continuing.
"Say... Shouldn't we join the mixed-race couples who are going to be busy for the next years?"
Krune was taken aback by those words.
"You... could it mean?"
Feifei nodded slightly.
"I want another one."
"Wouldn't that be bad timing? We'll be leaving to do other things later on."
Feifei shook her head in response.
"It's fine. I don't think I can reach the Peak of the Divinity Realm in less than 20 to 30 years, and that's already considering your Top Quality Godly Energy Stones. Our kid would already be an adult, maybe even a married one when that happens. Besides, I want this new kid of ours to experience the mortal realm as well. If he or she is born in the Godly Path Realm, they would never know what our home was."
Krune closed his eyes as he pondered about it. Truth be told, Fie wasn't a planned child. Due to how hard it would be for Feifei to get pregnant, they thought such a thing wouldn't happen. Who could have thought that they hit the jackpot on their very first time in bed? If not for that, Krune and Feifei would still be childless by now.
Feifei then looked at Krune with a playful smile.
"Pleeease...?"
Finally, Krune scratched the back of his head helplessly.
"Fine! I still remember Fie saying that she wanted a sibling several times, so let's make her wish come true."
Suddenly, Krune pounced at Feifei.
*kya!*
Even Feifei was taken aback by that move. Krune had never been this active before. Soon after, he grabbed her and pulled the girl to the room. As for what happened next, anyone could tell.
Around two months later, Cinty called everyone to spread the news.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I'm finally pregnant!"
Lofa, whose belly already began to bulge, and everyone else, immediately congratulated the couple.
"Very nice!"
"That's great!"
"I'm sure he or she will be amazing."
"Cinty, don't forget. You can't go back to your wisp form before the pregnancy is over. Otherwise, it might kill the baby since he or she isn't part of your own body."
Cinty already thought about that possibility. The baby was another being altogether, so the child might truly fall out of her human form womb if she reverted to her wisp form. She would rather not risk it.
"Ahem... Since we're already at it, I also have an announcement."
Everyone then looked at the origin of the voice and soon noticed Feifei and Krune. Finally, Feifei took a deep breath and said.
"I'm also pregnant."
"What?!"
Fie was the most surprised out of them.
"Mom! Dad! Is that for real?!"
Krune and Feifei nodded with a smile.
"That's a decision we reached two months ago. We will be staying in Dalin for quite some time, so we wanted to try once more. Fortunately, the Essence of Life Technique is just that great, so we succeeded."
Fie immediately hugged her mother.
"That's great! A little brother! No, a little sister! No, maybe a brother will be better. No, but, but..."
Feifei and everyone else laughed out loud at Fie's reaction. The girl couldn't decide what she wanted at all.
"Whether it's a brother or a sister, the important is that they will have you as a sibling. I'm counting on you to take care of either one."
Fie nodded her head vigorously.
Asla and Tuan, Fie's children, couldn't help but look at their father, Darten.
"Dad, was Mom like that with us?"
Darten scratched the back of his head as he nodded.
"The first time she noticed that she was pregnant with you two, she was 100 times worse. It took a long time to calm your mom down."
Lofa, Cinty, and Feifei then got together as the three talked about the kids that would come. Everyone else also supported them the best they could. Truly, this was a peaceful time that rarely happened in their lives. Things continued just like that for the next several months as the girls' bellies increased in size.
Cinty and Feifei were basically the same. Both were having a kid of mixed bloodline between human and wisp. It's just that the couple's race was different, with Cinty being the wisp and Kiirion the human.
Nonetheless, their pregnancy lasted about the same as it did before with Krune and Feifei, ten months. Lofa, on the other hand, seemed to take much longer. Lofa, Feifei, and Cinty agreed that they would not check their babies until they were born to keep the surprise. Feifei even drew three formations on their bellies and her own to prevent Divine Senses from checking it by mistake. As for Mental Energy, no one outside their group could use it, so they all compromised to not use it.
Finally, the ten months went by. It was such a coincidence that Feifei and Cinty began their labor on the same day. The newborns were finally going to show their faces.
