Is that a Wisp?
chapter-422

Gilia immediately understood Wamie's look. Indeed, Wamie had given away her Soul Slive, so betrayal was impossible for her. But Gilia's case was different. Krune can't force her to do anything, and she sure wouldn't enter in a fight against Krune. Even though her cultivation is higher than Wamie, being at the 9th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm, she wasn't as strong as Wamie, let alone Krune.

"No can do, I will not give a Slive of my Soul to him! You can give up that thought of yours."

Sure enough, Gilia guessed Wamie's intention straight away.

Wamie slimed playfully and then said.

"Are you really going to make me use my trump card?"

Suddenly, Gilia's face changed.

"You wouldn't dare! Wamie Zark, if you bring that matter out, we are done! Even if I have to go against the All Life Sect orders, I will leave your side straight away! We shall never see each other again in this life!"

Wamie didn't take that threat seriously at all, though. She looked at Krune and the others and then started to count a story.

"A long, long time ago (not really), there was a naive little girl called Gilia Mink. She had a pure heart and rarely doubted others. But one day, that nai-"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Immediately, Gilia jumped at Wamie and covered her mouth.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

Wamie didn't struggle to free herself, she just looked at Gilia at the corner of her eyes playfully. It was evident that she already expected that reaction from Gilia.

"Wamie, you are detestable!"

Gilia then greeted her teeth and said.

"Fine!"

She looked at Krune and said.

"But you shall never ask anything regarding this issue, do you understand?"

Krune and the others were taken aback. First of all, Krune expected that with this issue, Wamie would finally leave him be and go away. He doesn't feel like bringing them together with him at all. But instead of that, Wamie convinced Gilia in giving her a Silve of Her soul.

'Just what could be so severe to the point that she would give a Slive of her Soul away?'

Still, he immediately recovered and looked at Feifei. He was a little lost at the moment. From the very start, he didn't expect to bring anyone back with him, after all.

"What should we do?"

Feifei, on the other hand, was still curious.

'I want to know what Wamie was going to say!!!'

But when Krune asked her opinion, she finally came back to herself.

"Errr... As long as we have a Soul Slive, there is no risk of betrayal. The two of them are top experts as well. Wouldn't adding them to our group be a good thing? We also won't need to care about their expanses. Do you remember how many companions they have? If they can provide the Spirit Stones for all of them, it means that they can make their own Spirit Stones."

Of course, Feifei had another ulterior motive.

'Besides, if those two leave, how can I ask about Wamie about the end of that story? No way in hell I will let this chance to pass!'

Sure enough, Feifei is still Feifei.

Well, in truth, even Krune and the others were curious about what was the rest of that story.

Krune then clapped his hands and said

"Very well, I shall never use my authority as the Soul Slive holder to ask you about whatever it was. To be honest, I will never use it for anything unless it is extremely necessary, either. As long as you bare no ill intentions to me, my family, or my friends, you can stay as long as you wish. But I will have you two helping me out if there is a need for it, understood?"

Gilia nodded, and then she glared hatefully at Wamie. After that, she cut a Slive of her Soul and passed it to Krune, who immediately stored it in his Foundationtion. Wamie, of course, didn't take Gilia's glare seriously at all. She knows how she is, so Wamie was sure that Gilia would calm down and forgive her sooner or later.

Just like that, Krune's group got two new members, and powerful ones at that! Especially Wamie, Krune was really impressed with her fighting prowess even though she doesn't have the Elemental Meridians. As for Gilia, as the protector who came from Luvile and a member of the Sacred Lands, there is no doubt that she is a lot stronger than ordinary cultivators and demon beasts at the same level.

Krune's group and the two new girls then spent some time talking with each other. Gilia and Wamie soon came to understand that everyone there seemed to be very carefree. Well, it was not like everyone was like that before. It's just that Krune and Feifei's influence got into them as time passed.

Finally, it was time for the Long Distance Teleport Formation to activate. Krune's group stepped on it, and with a flash of Silver Light, they disappeared.

Back in the Wisp Main World, Krune and Laex were talking with each other.

"So, all the Heavenly Fragments are finally dealt with. At least, the ones who came to the Dalin Universe are. In that case, do you still need me for something else? Of course, if you want to keep paying me for the protection, I'm more than willing to stay here."

During his years together, Krune came to understand that Laex was really a trustworthy Dragon. Some time ago, Krune decided to tell him a few things as long as he promised to not spread the information. Laex, of course, immediately nodded. He was also very curious to know just how a Wisp could become that strong.

Krune then explained to him about the Myriad Energies Technique that he invented. Also, the fact that now, he can create Chaos Energy even though he is still in the Soul Forging Realm. Of course, Krune did not touch the topic about him and his group arriving at the Dalin Universe illegally.

Laex thought that to be some joke at first. How could such a magical Cultivation Technique exist? But after Krune showed his Chaos Energy, he could only accept the truth.

At the same time, it put Laex in a dilemma. As a member of the Dragon Clan and a Divine Beast, he is well aware of the Wisp's situation in the Dalin Universe. He is also sure that Krune and Cinty would have no problem achieving the Divine Path Realm, which is precisely what all the powers feared. In fact, most of the wisps who get this technique would at least have a good chance to arrive at that realm.

So he struggled for some time on whether he should report this issue back to the Clan, and consequently, to the powers controlling Dalin. But in the end, his pride as a Dragon spoke louder. The other part came to consider him as a friend and even told his secret. Laex personality simply couldn't bring himself to betray such convictions.

But there was another reason as well. Laex... was simply too lazy to be dragged into this mess. So he also kept silent to prevent problems coming on his way. If someone asks later, he can simply feign ignorance. As a member of the Pure Blooded Dragon Clan, others would need to think twice before touching him.

Also, his time working as Krune and Feifei's bodyguard had been one of the best since he left the Dragon Clan. Krune's payments were excellent, and he didn't have to do anything. There hadn't been a single instance where he had to battle to protect them. How could he complain about such a life? If there was a bad thing in all of this, it is the fact that he had to stay in the Wisp Main World all this time and only left when Krune and Feifei left as well. He likes gambling but hadn't had the chance to do so for the past 6 or so years.

But now, Krune's main concerns are finally gone, so even if he keeps his bodyguard job, he will have his time off to go play out too. That would be the best outcome for him.

Krune, on the other hand, really wanted to keep his company. Laex was also a great sparring partner. As a Divine Beast, his strength was also far above those at the same level. But Krune had to admit that Laex protection was costly. It was only because he had a steady income from Purple Flame Weapons and Pills that he could keep Laex until now.

"The payment for your service is just too high! Now that the risk of another Heavenly Fragment appearing is low, I can't simply keep paying you like before."

Laex nodded. He, too, knew that his services weren't that necessary anymore.

"How about this. You can now create Chaos Energy, so why don't you make a Purple Flame Diamond Stars Weapon for me? Of course, I'm a lot stronger in my Dragon Form, so I would need something that I could use in that state."

Krune was taken aback. Now that he thinks about it, he had never seen Laex's true form. Still, it was already part of his plan to advance his Blacksmith and Alchemist qualification into the Diamond Stars Level. So it would be convenient for him.

"Sure thing, but I need to take a look at your true form first."

Laex didn't mind. He stood up and left Krune's house. If he transformed there, the house would be torn apart, after all.

In the courtyard, Laex form started to change. Black scales started to appear, Laex's arms became another pair of Dragon Legs. On his back, two Black Wings that when stretched were longer than Krune's house. A Dragon Head soon appeared, followed by the growth of a Bone Spiked Dragon Tail.

Turns out that Laex is bigger than a house. Truly enormous!

"Creating a weapon for someone as big as you will take quite some time."

Laex couldn't help but laugh.

"Do you think I'm big? That's because you haven't seen the elders in my Clan, especially those in the Divinity Realm. Those guys are bigger than this entire courtyard! That is also why while we are not in the Dragon Clan territory, we are used to staying in our Human Forms. The size of our bodies is just too bothersome while we are not in the middle of a battle."

Krune nodded and started to think about what he should make for Laex when his Blacksmith Levels is high enough. It was then that Krune thought about something.

"Laex, what about a Dragon Pearl? Would that be useful for you?"

After hearing that name, Laex was taken aback.

"Can you create a Dragon Pearl? Are you for real?!"
