Krune's group and Liriu were not the only ones improving at the moment.
Dilo had finally broken through and entered the Void Breaking Realm. Although he can't compare to Krune and Feifei, who are in the 6th Stage already, he is doing pretty well by himself. He is now in the 1st Stage of the Void Breaking Realm.
Xankruan wasn't so far yet but still made her way to the 8th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. Like Dilo and Liriu, she stayed behind in the earlier floors to prevent herself from bumping into someone too strong. However, Liriu is on the 5th Floor, while she and Dilo are on the 6th.
Tiane and Ruik are further ahead on the 7th Floor. Their cultivation is smaller than Dilo, but they wish to go up as fast as possible because of Liriu. At the moment, the 7th Floor was the best suited for them even if it was more dangerous. Ruik has now caught up with Xankruan, being in the 8th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm too. As for Tiane, she continued one Stage behind Ruik, being in the 7th Stage.
Back on Krune's side, they found a good place to rest. Feifei spent an hour building a concealing formation before they began to cultivate or recover once more. However, there was a certain someone who wasn't feeling very pleased. Obviously, it was Lala.
She first sat while lying against a rock. But at some point, Fie and Feifei also sat beside her. If that was all, then it wouldn't be so bad. But the two girls were now lying on her too.
'Am I a fucking pillow?!'
Still, Lala kept her cool.
'Be patient, Lala. Just two more days, and you will have recovered enough.'
That's what she kept repeating to herself. But it was at this moment that her nose caught the scent of something really good. However, Lala was taken aback. As a Divine Path Realm Demon Beast, she had stopped eating a long time ago. She simply didn't need material food anymore.
But as time passed, the scent got stronger. Without Lala noticing, her mouth began to drool. Finally, she opened her eyes again and looked in Krune's direction. There it was, a wisp in human form busily working as if he was a chef! Not only that, but he also had the full set prepared. Table, chairs, plates, knives, you name it!
'What are you, a housewife?!'
It didn't take long for Feifei and Fie to notice as well. At the same time, their stomachs began to growl. Fie quickly got up and rushed over.
"Dad! Do you want help with making food?"
Krune smiled at her but shook his head.
"Just wait on the side with the rest, it won't be long before it is read."
Krune then noticed that Lala was also looking in his direction. Especially the drool on her mouth.
"Hahaha! I'll make some meat for you too."
For Krune, someone drooling because of his food smell is one of the best compliments.
Lala was taken aback. Only then did she notice her drool falling down, which made her feel really embarrassed.
Laex quickly came over to Krune before saying.
"Put more salt on my portion."
"Sigh... why you guy love salt so much?"
"You simply don't understand the Dragon's tastes. Strong Demon Beasts should eat Strong Flavoured food! It is a Dragon's rule!"
"Dragon's rule your head! You just invented it just now."
"Whether I invented or not doesn't matter. The important part is that it is the truth! A new Dragon's truth!"
"Sure, sure... a new Dragon's truth, so be it..."
Krune then looked at Lala to ask.
"How much salt you want in your meat? Or do you like any other condiments like Black Pepper? Maybe some sauce?"
Lala was a little lost.
"Eh? Me? Err... I... don't know?"
Krune nodded.
"Alright. I will leave them on the side, and you can add them later too see which one is better for you."
*growl...*
Lala looked at her own belly and felt like crying. That sound was so loud that everyone looked at her at the same time. Food was supposed to be completely useless for her body. So why is her stomach acting like it had been starving for the last ten reincarnations? She couldn't even remember anymore when it was the last time she had eaten anything.
Feifei laughed and grabbed her hand.
"My wisp's food is the best, no demon beast or human can stay cool in front of it. Let's go sit at the tables too."
Before Lala could even answer, she was already dragged over. Not too long after, Krune served the food for everyone. Krune not only had made food, but his Spatial Ring was full of drinks as well. He took quite a few different ones, and everyone selected what they liked the most.
Lala didn't know what to do. Should she eat? Bears are solitary demon beasts, especially one as strong as her, so she wasn't used to this kind of atmosphere.
*Growl!!!*
Her face became even redder now. If the previous time it was loud, now it looked more like a roar. Obviously, the others laughed even more.
"Ah, fuck it!"
She immediately grabbed an enormous piece of meat and began to devour it as well. Her eyes couldn't help but shine once the meat touched her tongue.
'This is so fucking good!'
Lala then looked at the condiments on the side and couldn't help but try them out. Some made it better, others not so much. In the end, her tastes were pretty much like Laex's.
"Hahaha! See? I told you, strong demon beasts prefer intense flavors! That's the Universe's truth!"
Krune and Laex then began another argument about it. Not only that, but Feifei and Fie joined as well. Each side was defending its own point of view. Their discussion began to get more and more intense while they ate their food until suddenly.
*Bang*
Lala slammed the table while showing a severe expression.
"STRONG FLAVOR IS MUCH BETTER!"
"Ah!"
Lala couldn't believe what she did. How come she joined such a ridiculous argument?
'What the hell am I doing?'
Laex's eyes lit up after hearing that, though.
"See?! Even she lost to the power of strong-flavored food! You simply can't understand our feelings."
Krune didn't let it go, though.
"Hmph! It just two against three. What are you feeling happy about?"
The argument continued until the end of their meal. After that, Lala returned to her corner, absent-minded. She had indeed lost to the power of Krune's food. Fie and Feifei once again laid on her warm body, which really felt comfortable for the two girls. However, Lala didn't feel like it was so bad now.
Lala then began to concentrate on cultivating once more.
On the other side, Krune began to clean the things while Laex helped him out. Lala could hear that even though the meal was over, those two kept arguing about who was right or wrong.
For some reason, Krune and Laex's voices began to get distant. Eventually, it reached a point where Lala couldn't hear anything anymore.
The day passed and night quickly arrive. Even though they are inside the Holy Land, the Dimensional Realms were really lifelike. They, too, had day and night, just like the worlds outside.
The night also passed quickly, and the morning arrived once more. Lala was lying against the rock when she slowly began to open her eyes. Fie and Feifei were still attached to her while sleeping. Those two seemed to be having a great time as their faces seemed really relaxed.
But as Lala saw that, her heart suddenly skipped a bit.
'I... SLEPT?! How come I slept? Ever since I entered the Core Formation Realm, I had never slept again! Why did I sleep? What if I was attacked during this time?'
Lala then though about a possibility.
'Was it Krune's food? Did he put something inside that made me sleep?'
Lala quickly checked her body's condition, but she was completely fine. In fact, she seemed to have recovered a lot since the last day. As for her spatial ring, there wasn't absolutely nothing missing inside.
'Eh? Nothing wrong?'
It was then that Lala noticed Krune and Laex. One was cultivating on her right while the other was doing the same on the left. Not only that, but she also saw Heavin on the top of the rock, the same one she was laid against. By the looks of it, only Feifei, Fie, and herself slept last night. Krune, Laex, and Heavin stayed awake to watch over them.
Krune noticed that Lala opened her eyes. To prevent Feifei and Fie from waking up, he used a Divine Sense message to talk with her.
"Oh, you are awake! If you don't mind, would you stay like you are at the moment? Although Feifei and Fie looked okay, the fact is that those two hadn't seen each other for years. They might have no problems within their bodies, but their minds were, in fact, quite fatigued. They just didn't let it appear on the outside. Let them sleep close to you for a few more hours. I'll pay for it if you really don't want to."
Lala didn't know what to say. But she does know that Fie and Feifei are parent and child.
She then looked up to the sky before nodding.
"Okay."
Krune smiled after hearing that.
"Thank you."
Lala kept looking to the sky, though.
'When was the last time I felt so relaxed like this?'
