Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 292 If Possible, For a Lifetime



Suddenly, Krune, Feifei, and Ruik heard a sound coming from Tiane's room.

*Crash*

When they looked over, they saw a broken door and a Tiane on the floor.

It turned out that Tiane was pressing the door on the other side so firmly that it was about to break apart. The moment that Ruik said his last words, Tiane lost control over her Spiritual Energy for a second, and the door couldn't resist anymore. The result is that the wisp world has now lost one of its doors.

Tiane then looked at Ruik from the ground, and her face got even redder! She quickly got up and used her best movement technique to leave this place.

"Wait!"

Ruik wasn't any slower and soon disappeared as well.

Krune then looked at Feifei and asked.

"Should we follow them?"

As soon as Krune saw Feifei's shining eyes, he understood that he made a very idiotic question. There is almost nothing in this life that could possibly stop Feifei from following them.

Feifei looked at Krune and then laughed.

"Hahahaha! Of course, we will, but make sure to use Divine Sense to watch from a distance. If we appear during this moment, it might turn things worse. This is a time where Ruik can only count on himself."

Krune nodded, and the two of them immediately disappeared from their house. As for the things related to the Elemental Path and Wally's disciples, that matters very little for them at the moment.

But soon, Feifei and Krune noticed a problem.

"Both Tiane and Ruik are in the 7th Stage of the Core Formation Realm. Still, Tiane is a Demon Crow and obviously specialized in Wind Element. There is no way for Ruik to catch her."

Krune pondered a bit and then smiled playfully.

"Ruik might notice the presence of laws now, but Tiane definitely isn't at this level yet. Now look at that, I think that the weather isn't looking very good today. For some reason, I feel like that the wind will start to blow in the opposite direction that she is moving."

Feifei's eyes immediately lit up!

"Right, right! Not only that, but I think that the pressure of the wind will be very strong exactly where she is at the moment. Isn't it such a coincidence? It must be the heavens playing at their favor!"

Krune nodded vigorously and started to manipulate one of the two Wind Sub-Laws that he understood, Gale!

Of course, Krune was too far away to manipulate it in the place where Tiane was moving, so he had to first catch up with her. To make sure that she wouldn't notice him, Krune activated his Tribulation Lightning Layer, which immediately concealed his presence from Divine Senses. As for speed, Tiane might be fast, but against Krune using his Tribulation Lightning at full power, she might as well not move anymore.

Feifei stayed behind since she had only to watch. She isn't as fast as Krune, and the only Wind Sub-Law she comprehended so far was Breeze, which wasn't very useful at this moment.

Although Tiane could see Ruik in her Divine Sense, she felt relieved since she knew she was faster. Unfortunately, the 'weather' wouldn't let that situation last for much longer.

Krune finally caught up with Tiane and immediately started to use his Gale Law. He made sure to stay far enough so that Tiane couldn't see his Tribulation Layer. It can hide against divine senses, but it was totally the opposite when looking at it.

Suddenly, just as Tiane was about to leave the range of Ruik's Divine Sense, the wind started to blow with extreme force against her. She spread her Divine Sense to the max, but couldn't see anything that could be causing that. Although everyone in their group knows that Krune understood laws, he didn't really talk much about it. Tiane had no idea that one of his Wind Sub-Laws was Gale, either.

"What is happening?!"

In the end, Tiane decided to change direction so that she wouldn't go against the wind, but not Ruik's direction either. Unfortunately for her, it seemed like the winds had eyes! Not long after she changed a course, the wind would once again chance and blow against the direction she was moving.

Of course, the situation was entirely different for Ruik. Although there was some wind, they weren't blocking his away. Finally, he was able to see Tiane in the distance once more.

"Since when I'm faster than her while flying? Oh well, I will think about it later."

Tiane knew that he was close and put even more Spiritual and Elemental Source energy in her flight. Still, it was to no avail. It looked like the more she tried, the stronger than wind became.

It only took a minute for Ruik to catch up to her. Only when he was a few meters behind Tiane did he finally understand why he was faster.

'This wind... there is no doubt that it is that idiot wisp. Still, I will thank you for now.'

He had tried to use Divine Sense messages several times, but Tiane had completely blocked anything coming from him. In the end, he could only shout.

"Tiane, why are you running?!"

Tiane looked behind and shouted back.

"It's not your business! Why are you following me, anyway?!"

Ruik then replied.

"Isn't that obvious? You heard what I said before, but that was not the right way of doing it! There is no point in saying that to Krune, so let me say it to you!"

Tiane immediately shook her head.

"I don't want to hear anything, just leave me alone!"

Ruik sighed and then said.

"I will if you reject me. But not before you let me finish! Isn't that okay? You are also a demon beast, so why are you acting like a human girl all of sudden? You were never the one to flee from a fight with me."

In fact, Tiane had been taken in by Feifei even before she got her sentience. Since then, she lived with the humans of the Wang Clan. Because of that, she had a personality much more human-like than the biggest majority of female demons beasts out there. That's why she ended up fleeing instead of confronting her feelings.

But as soon as she heard that she had never fled from a fight, she hesitated of a second.

Ruik immediately noticed that, though.

"Chance!"

Ruik exploded forward with all his energy and finally caught Tiane. Who started to struggle to get away from his embrace.

Ruik looked at that and laughed.

"You are such an idiot. You have been flying all this time, but had it never passed through your head to go back to your Crow Form? You can fly a lot faster that way. Well, not that I'm the one to talk since I'm also in my Human Form at the moment. Hahaha!"

Only now did Tiane notice this fact. She couldn't help but think that if she had done that, she wouldn't have been caught in this situation.

Ruik understood what she was thinking and immediately destroyed her delusions, though.

"Oh, if you are thinking that you could have escaped in your Crow Form, I might as well tell you that it would be impossible. Do you really think that such a wind would blow out of nowhere and keep targeting only you? If it was really ordinary wind, I should have been even slower than you, don't you think?!"

Tiane opened her eyes wide!

'Right! It has to be Feifei or Krune, I'm sure about it now.'

She then turned her red face at Ruik and asked.

"How long are you going to keep holding me?"

Ruik then answered straight at her face.

"If possible, for a lifetime."

Feifei, who was watching and hearing everything from far away with her Divine Sense, felt her heart jump for a second!

"Nice!"

As for Krune, he had to admit that it would be hard for someone like him to say something like that.

"Well, I guess everyone is different, after all."

If Feifei, who wasn't even really present, felt like that, one can only imagine how Tiane felt when those words were directed at her.

"T-t-t-that would be impossible. First of all, you are a snake, and I'm a crow. What is there for you to like about someone like me?"

Ruik looked at Tiane, puzzled.

"Are you serious? Then what about Feifei and Krune, do you think that their relationship is wrong as well then? I'm sorry, but I absolutely don't think like that."

Tiane understood that she really made a very idiotic statement and ended up not saying anything else after that. Even she didn't notice it, but she had completely stopped struggling by this point. If anything, she was feeling quite comfortable now.

Ruik then descended from the skies with Tiane in his arms.

Krune noticed that there was no reason to be there anymore and immediately rushed back to Feifei's side. Once there, he held her hand, and the two started to watch the show.

Ruik and Tiane kept silent for a few minutes when finally, Ruik took the initiative to talk.

"Well... you know... I will let you go now so that I can say what I have to. But you don't need to worry about me. If you don't feel the same way, you just need to spill it directly on my face after I finish. We can go back to our daily arguments as we always did, that's all."

Ruik finally let Tiane go and took a few steps back. As for Tiane, she didn't look at him. Instead, she just kept looking at the ground while Ruik could only see her back.

"I'm a demon beast, I'm not good at words to start with, so I will try to keep it as short as possible."

"I don't know at which point it started, but suddenly, I started to feel like I wanted to go out with you more times. At some point, the arguments we had every day became something that I looked forward to. The times we went on missions were the funniest of all, even though we just kept challenging each other."

Ruik then sighed and continued.

"But to think that I would need a zero EQ wisp like that idiot one to make me perceive this, I'm really a disgrace as a male demon beast..."

"Arrrgh, fuck all of this. The fact is: I love you, it's that simple! So what you say?"

Tiane's heart pounded once more, but she kept silent.

Ruik waited there for quite a few minutes, but Tiane didn't say anything at all. In the end, he just sighed turned around as well.

"Well, I guess that we are back to our daily arguments. Just pretend that I didn't say anything then."

Feifei, who was still watching, almost rushed over to give Tiane a slap. But just as she was about to do it, Krune stopped her.

"There is no need."

Feifei looked at him surprised and then used her Divine Sense to check once more. But this time, she noticed that Tiane was crying, it was just that Ruik couldn't see it since she was showing her back to him.

Just as Ruik was about to take flight, the positions inverted and the one embracing the other from behind this time was Tiane. Ruik was taken aback and tried to look at her, but she didn't let him do it. In the end, Tiane simply started to talk.

"Indeed, you are very annoying. Anything that I do, you try to beat me on it. If I don't put my all, I will be the one to hear you laughing at my face for not being able to defeat you. When we got hungry during missions, you always somehow had some of Krune's food with you. When I defeated you in our challenges to each other, you didn't seem to care. Really, just when did you become the center of my attention? It wasn't something recent, it had been going for a long time already, I think."

"You are an idiot snake."

"You really are an idiot snake..."

"But... it's okay, because..."

"Because..."

"Because you are my idiot snake."
