Is that a Wisp? Chapter 821: Teasing

Back in the expanded room, Feifei couldn’t help but laugh as she commented.

“That’s really a funny girl.”

Krune laughed as well, saying.

“She is. Nina’s also very determined. She reached her dream level faster than I thought, both in cooking and cultivation. I’m really proud of her as my disciple. Of course, I’m proud of Jilin as well.”

Feifei nodded as she said.

“Still, to think that she would be that stubborn. Now I truly believe that she really asked you to have your kid.”

Krune shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

“I’m not very good with others’ feelings, as you know. I only found out about Nina’s love for me at the very last moment before ascending. However, I have the feeling that what she has for me isn’t exactly love. It’s more like… admiration… maybe? Can’t really explain it very well.”

Feifei agreed with him.

“She just doesn’t want to give her Master to anyone else. Oh well. Let’s leave it aside for now.”

Feifei then smiled before she sat on the bed and took out several Godly Energy Stones. Krune did the same thing as he sat beside her.

“Let’s start cultivating since that’s the main reason we came here.”

It was then that Feifei remembered something.

“Oh, right! Where did Senior Luvile go?”

“He went to the Godly Veins where we found Zule before. The Godly Veins are still there, so they’re great for cultivation. I don’t have Top Quality Godly Energy stones for everyone, so he decided to not use them but the vein instead.”

“I see. As long as it works, then that’s fine.”

Krune and Feifei then focused on cultivating for quite some time after that. The next day, Krune helped in the restaurant once more. Because the word spread, it was now fully packed. There was even a long queue outside. Well, may it be for the restaurant or for those working there, it was more or less a good thing.

During the time the restaurant was closed, Krune and Feifei would cultivate together. And just like that, two weeks went by. Finally, Krune finished teaching and checking everything he wanted from Jilin, Nina, and Jalo. 

“Alright. I’ll be leaving the restaurant in your hands again. Just continue the good work.”

Bai and the others were taken aback.

“You’re leaving again? Weren’t you supposed to stay here for a few years?”

Krune nodded as he cleared things up.

“I am indeed staying here for a few years. However, my main objective at the moment is cultivation. I’m spending half of my daily time in the restaurant, so I don’t have as much time for cultivation as I need. That being said, I won’t be able to stay in the restaurant all the time.”

Nina couldn’t help but look at Feifei and ask.

“It’s because of you that Master is saying that, right?”

Krune was just about to say that it had nothing to do with Feifei before he received a Divine Sense message from her.

‘Let her think that this is the case.’

‘Why?’

‘Because it’s funnier that way.’

Krune’s mouth twitched in response, but he didn’t say anything else. Of course, Feifei immediately agreed with Nina.

“Oh, definitely. It’s because of me that he’s taking more time to cultivate. We’ve decided before coming here that we would only stay until we’ve reached the Peak of the Transformation Realm. However, I don’t like you, so I’ll make him cultivate faster in order for us to leave earlier.”

Everyone was left at a loss for words after hearing that. Doesn’t that mean that Feifei’s afraid that Nina would steal Krune from her? Then again, Nina wouldn’t even have the chance if Krune didn’t even appear anymore.

“You’re too shameless! Fight with me on even grounds!”

Feifei shrugged her shoulders as she said.

“Why should I do that? I’m his wife, you know. It’s my right to protect my husband from other women. Could it be that I’m wrong?”

“This…”

Even Nina couldn’t deny Feifei’s words, let alone Bai and the others. Besides, she probably would have done something similar in Feifei’s shoes.

“Little girl, I won’t give my Krune to anyone else.”

Krune looked at Feifei’s expression. Others might be seeing an angry Feifei. However, he knew her long enough to know that she was truly enjoying teasing Nina to no end.

‘Is it really that fun?’

Feifei glanced at Krune and replied.

‘Of course! She’s getting angrier and angrier by the second. However, she’s still a good girl after all. Nina simply can’t hate me even though she thinks she does. Don’t you find it very amusing?’

Krune sighed before he sat back and watched the show. In the end, it didn’t matter what Nina said. Krune’s absence was already set in stone. Eventually, everyone retired for the day.

Back in Nina’s room, she kept stomping her foot on the ground, fuming!

“Ahhhh! That shameless woman! So what if you’re his wife?! You can’t even cook! You’re so afraid that you’re even stopping Master from coming to the restaurant. Just you wait, woman! I won’t give up!”

Nino, her brother, didn’t even know what to say anymore.

“Uhh… Sister…”

“What?!”

Nino was taken aback by that answer. Still, he couldn’t help but find it peculiar. After all, it was the first time he had ever seen Nina become genuinely angry. 

“Cough, cough… Nothing, nothing… Forget I said anything.”

At the same time, he thought.

‘Perhaps this is a good thing. Unlike whenever she’s in front of Chef Krune, she isn’t used to releasing her emotions anywhere else. She’s the type to keep everything inside all the time. This is really the first time she let everything gush out.’

Nino then let the night pass amidst Nina’s complaints, much to his amusement.

Sure enough, Krune stopped coming from the next day onwards. As for Nina, her anger made her forget her usual restrained self. Everyone was now seeing a completely different Chef Nina in the kitchen from what they were used to in the past.

Well, even if Krune didn’t appear, Feifei surely did. Out of nowhere, Feifei appeared in the kitchen while Nina worked with Jilin and the others. Naturally, Nina’s expression had turned grim. However, since Krune wasn’t there, she tried to restrain herself.

“This is the kitchen. You can’t stay here. Please leave.”

Jilin and Jalo looked at each other with weird expressions but didn’t say anything.

Feifei, on the other hand, just snorted as she retorted.

“Why should I? This is my husband’s restaurant, after all. I can come and go as much as I want. Now then, Nina. Be a good chef and prepare my meal.”

At this point, Feifei was enjoying what she was doing way too much.

Without hesitation, Jilin and Jalo took a few steps back. They didn’t want to be caught up in the firefight.

“You… You! Weren’t you supposed to be cultivating as well? Didn’t you say that you wanted to level up faster to leave this place with Master?”

Feifei nodded as she said with a smile.

“But I am! Look!”

It was then that they saw Feifei holding several Godly Energy Stones as she absorbed their energy. She was indeed cultivating as she talked. Of course, this method wasn’t as efficient as it would be if she only focused on it. However, Feifei didn’t plan to spend more than a few minutes in the kitchen before returning to cultivate anyway. She was only here to tease Nina a little more, much to Nina’s despair.

“See? I am cultivating. It’s just that I’m a bit peckish, so I came here to ask for some food.”

Nina tried to calm down as much as possible as she looked at Jilin.

“You go and cook something for her. I’m busy.”

Jilin bitterly smiled in response. The restaurant was quite full at the moment, so wasn’t he busy as well? However, when he looked at the fire in Nina’s eyes, he could only nod, afraid of being swallowed in the storm too. However…

“What are you talking about? I don’t want his food. I want yours! My beloved husband told me that you were his first disciple in this place. Naturally, I want to check out if your skills are that good. Come on, girl. Show your Master’s wife how good you are at cooking. As someone who has been eating Krune’s food for years, I’ll be the judge of your dish’s quality.”

Jilin didn’t even wait for Nina’s answer before he retreated while saying.

“You heard her. I’m out!”

He ran away…

By now, a few veins began to appear on Nina’s head. Her face was as red as a tomato as she tried to hold herself back. Feifei didn’t seem to notice it at all, though.

After some time, Nina reigned on her emotions and began to cook something. A few minutes later, she gave Feifei a simple dish.

“There you go, now get out.”

Feifei smiled as she took a bite of the food. Surprisingly, the food was really good. Nina truly did an excellent job with the dish just now.

“Oh! This is amazing! And here I thought you would purposely make a bad dish for me.”

Nina glared at her before saying.

“If I did that, I would be letting Master down. I hate you, not the food.”

Feifei laughed as she ate the meal.

“Come on. You don’t hate me at all. You just don’t like me.”

Nina didn’t say anything as she returned to her station, completely ignoring Feifei.

Eventually, Feifei felt satisfied before she returned to the room where Krune was.

“Where did you go?”

Feifei smiled before saying.

“I was a little hungry, so I went to ask for some food in the kitchen.”

Krune nodded, not finding anything weird with it at all. As always, the wisp couldn’t find the hidden meanings in these kinds of situations. Then again, Feifei liked that wisp the way he was.
