Is that a Wisp?
chapter-746

Naturally, Feifei and Krune could have left anytime they wanted. With the difference in cultivation, there wasn't really anyone who could hold them back. Still, Krune stayed there for longer so that he could talk more with the new Wisps. Feifei understood that Krune regarded it with importance. That's why she stayed there and helped him with it as well.

It wasn't before a few hours and thousands of questions later that Krune and Feifei finally left the Wisp Registration Office. They used their understanding of the Space Laws to simply teleport away. When they reappeared, they were already several kilometers away.

"Sorry, Feifei. I held us there for way longer than I should have."

Feifei tilted her head in confusion before shaking it as she replied.

"What you are talking about? Talking with that many curious wisps, especially the ones who turned females, was quite funny. I didn't mind it at all."

'Well, at least I didn't mind talking about the things that were not related to my sexual life...'

"Ahem... In any case, we are not in a hurry. Let's go visit Lakin and Cassy. Now that Ruik is finally taking over control, I believe those two will finally have their deserved time together. They had been holding back for a long time, after all."

Krune looked at Feifei, puzzled.

"Holding back? Was there something the two of them wanted?"

Feifei nodded.

"I told you I came to pay a visit to everyone in Dalin before Dalin got closed, right?"

Krune nodded and waited for Feifei to continue.

"At that time, I had the chance to talk a lot with everyone. I also spent some time here and could talk with Cassy alone. Lakin and Cassy were quite envious of me and you or Ao and Ula. They had been waiting to have a child for a long time. However, because Lakin had always been busy with the Wisp Country... or Planet, they postponed this decision."

"The initial plan was to have Ruik come earlier. But the lazy snake escaped and hid just before Dalin closed, so they had to once again delay their plans. After Ruik reappeared, Tiane and I gave him an incredibly thorough punishment. Still, it was too late since Dalin was closed already. It didn't feel right to call Senior Wally just to send Ruik back either due to his condition."

Krune was surprised to hear that.

"I see. No wonder Lakin looked at Fie, Ewan, and Liriu like that."

"Oh! Did you notice? That probably was because he knew that they were our children. That over a hundred years' couple had been very eager to start their own family as well."

Krune nodded.

"Very well, let's go there then. I need to make sure that Ruik will not try to run away."

Krune then opened a Spatial Gate before the two of them entered it. When they reappeared, they were already above an enormous building somewhere else on this Planet controlled by wisps.

"Master!"

Suddenly, Lakin's voice came from inside the building. Not long after, he appeared above it with Cassy. Tiane and Liriu just so happened to be there too, so they came out.

"Yo! Didn't I say I would come and visit you? Here I am. Hahaha!"

Feifei then went forward and hugged Cassy. The two became quite good friends after the last time she came to Luvile Universe.

"Alright, you guys go and talk whatever you want. Cassy, Tiane, and I have a few things to talk about."

Feifei then opened another Spatial Gate before she and Tiane dragged Cassy away. Lakin looked at that, puzzled. Still, it was Feifei that they were talking about, so he wasn't the least bit worried.

"Where did they go?"

Krune shrugged his shoulders.

"Feifei said something about 'women talk.' I don't really understand that, though."

Lakin nodded.

"Hum... Women do have a different constitution, after all. Perhaps it has something to do with it."

Sure enough, once wisps, always wisps...

"By the way, where is the lazy snake?"

Lakin then pointed down.

"He's working. I'm making sure he understands everything that is needed."

Krune and Lakin then teleported directly inside the building. Krune soon noticed many wisps, humans, and some other races walking everywhere. From what it looked like, this place wasn't just Lakin's residence, but also some kind of office that controlled most of the crucial things in the wisp planet.

"He's right inside."

Lakin then opened a door. There, Ruik sat behind a table where he read many documents in a roll. The surprising thing was that he didn't seem bored as one would expect. Instead, Ruik seemed to be taking his job very seriously.

"Hum... You seem very busy, Ruik."

Ruik looked at Krune for a moment before returning his attention to the documents.

"Krune, huh? I'm busy right now, so can we talk later?"

Lakin couldn't help but feel a little emotional when seeing Ruik now. Other than the time on the TV, he had been doing his job pretty well. He didn't even have to care about chasing the snake down.

Krune smiled before turning to Lakin.

"How long has he been like that?"

Lakin then looked at Krune before pondering a bit.

"He was always like this ever since he was brought here. I'm quite happy to see that he finally decided to do his part."

Krune couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha! Doing his part, huh?"

Krune then walked behind the table. Ruik glanced at him for a moment but ignored him in the end.

'Hehe. So that's what is happening.'

Suddenly, the space around Ruik froze. Soon after, Krune hit his head with a punch.

*Bang!*

*Ouch!*

It was quite a strong impact. Fortunately, Krune had sealed the space around Ruik, so both the building and room didn't suffer any damage at all. However, Ruik felt tons of pain.

"You dammed wisp! What the hell are you doing?!"

Krune snorted in response.

"Hmph! You might be able to trick others. But do you think you can trick me?"

Ruik looked at Krune with shock before quickly looking away.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Lakin and the other workers in the office looked at that with dismay. Just what was happening there?

Krune then pointed at Ruik before saying.

"This idiot was sleeping. He was using his Dream Laws to keep himself in a semi-aware state. This way, he could sleep while his body kind of automatically did all the job."

"What?!"

Everyone looked at Ruik.

Ruik, of course, felt helpless.

Krune continued.

"The reason why he changed during the TV time was that that wasn't part of the rules set up in his semi-aware soul. That being said, his soul woke up when you said that he had a TV appearance. Now that he came back to the same job as before, his brain can more or less do everything."

Lakin was shocked!

"But, can a semi-aware mind deal with the many issues that a planet goes through? So far, all his job had been done really well."

Krune nodded.

"Probably. If not, he wouldn't try something like that. I'm quite impressed, though. Even I have no confidence whatsoever of pulling something like this off."

Ruik couldn't help but say.

"So what?! Am I not doing everything correctly? If there is really a need, I can simply wake up again. Instead, it is even better this way. After all, I can both cultivate my Dream Laws and do my job at the same time. It's a win-win situation!"

Krune shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"That's not my problem. The only thing that bothered me was that Lakin seemed to not know what was happening here."

Ruik then scratched the back of his head as he looked at Lakin.

"Well, that's how it is. Amazing, right? I can do my job perfectly while sleeping. You don't need to worry about me running away from my job anymore. Hahaha!"

Lakin's mouth twitched.

"I feel like beating you black and blue. However..."

Lakin looked at the piles of documents that have already been dealt with and nodded, satisfied.

"It's true that your job is excellent. Very well. As long as it doesn't affect our wisp planet, the wisps, and the other races living here, then I won't bother with it."

Ruik smiled while showing a confident expression.

"You don't need to worry. I worked very hard so that I could laze around. Trust in all the effort I put into my capability of sleeping."

Krune and Lakin couldn't help but feel that those words were somewhat wrong. Well, in fact, they were very wrong. It's just that it only looked something good when used by Ruik and this new ability of his.

"Anyway. It seems like I don't need to put Plan B in practice."

"Plan B?"

Ruik and Lakin looked at Krune, puzzled.

It was then that Krune looked at Ruik as some sparks of Purple Lightning came out of his body.

"Oh, don't worry. It was just some countermeasures to prevent you from fleeing. Don't worry, it wouldn't kill you."

Ruik felt a chill on his back. He couldn't be happier that his semi-aware ability worked so well. Without a doubt, whatever Krune planned was definitely not something he would like to see.

"Ahem... Don't worry, this method is definitely foolproof. Don't underestimate my efforts to keep my sleeping schedule."

Lakin then shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, whatever. Just go back to your semi-whatever state and start to work."

Ruik smiled and was just about to do it when all of a sudden, Feifei, Tiane, and Cassy teleported directly inside the room. Lakin then looked at them before asking.

"Isn't your day off today, Cassy?"

Cassy nodded.

"It is. I just came to take you out."

"Take me out?"

Cassy nodded.

"It's time for us to make a child."

Lakin pondered a bit before nodding.

"Okay."

Feifei, Tiane, Ruik, and the human workers looked at that in dismay.

'Wisps for sure...'
