Is that a Wisp?

Huana thought about the possibility that Krune and Feifei might have more of those Godly Energy Stones with them. However, she wasn't certain. Other than that, it was a fact that their Universe had just gone through a war a while ago. She had to consider many things because of that.

First, who would she be offending if she tried to attack and take the stones by force? Considering how Feifei and Krune didn't seem the least bit afraid of entering the planet's protection formation, it was apparent that they had a way out. Even if that wasn't the case, they might be confident because of their backgrounds instead.

In any case, she would be making more enemies during a moment where their Dole Universe really can't take more of them. Even if she succeeded in obtaining them by force, she would definitely consider the after-effects of that action. After pondering for a bit, she nodded at them and said.

"Very well. If you really have more of them, this trade might be possible. I'll need to talk with each of the five powers to obtain their consent, but it shouldn't take long."

Krune shrugged his shoulders as he asked.

"How much of it does Lady Huana think for it to be a fair price?"

Huana didn't expect that Krune would allow her to give a price herself. She then looked at the Godly Energy Stones in the spatial ring and how they could use them before saying.

"We have two Ownerless Heavenly Fragments, as you probably know. I think a fair price would be about 1000 Godly Energy Stones for each."

That was more than double the price of the first Heavenly Fragment Feifei and Krune got. However, Krune decided to accept the offer since those, to him, were just common Godly Energy Stones. He really had way too many of them. The main reason was that he saw how the Universe was faring at the moment, so that would be his way of giving them some help.

"Very well. When can we expect to receive the Heavenly Fragments?"

Huana sighed in relief, thinking that she might have asked too much. Still, she quickly recovered.

"Just wait for a few more hours while I talk with the others. I'll give you an answer soon."

Krune and Feifei nodded before they went back to the previous living room. Huana then contacted the other five powers' leaders and explained the situation to them. Sure enough, they mentioned attacking Krune and Feifei and taking everything they had at some point. Yet, that idea quickly disappeared when they were warned about their own conditions at the moment. After all, they wouldn't receive any Godly Energy Stones and even obtain a new formidable enemy if things went south. The Dole Universe definitely didn't need such a burden at this point.

Besides, 2000 Godly Energy Stones would still mean 400 for each of the five powers. That was truly a lot in a place like the Mortal Realm. The process went smoothly after that. At some point, Krune and Feifei were invited into Huana's office once more.

"I got the two Heavenly Fragments. So, you said that you don't have more of it at the moment. When can we go through this trade?"

Krune then pointed upwards.

"There should be a puppet outside the protection formation, waiting for an opening to appear."

Sure enough, Huana received a message at that very moment about the weird bird-like puppet outside. That was obviously one of Heavin's works. Huana couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't it too risky to leave the stones with a puppet just like that?"

Feifei laughed as she replied.

"Before you accepted the trade, you didn't even know it existed, right? So it's safe."

"I can still take it by force and not give you the Havenly Fragments."

Krune and Feifei didn't seem the least bit concerned.

"We really wouldn't recommend such an action if we were you."

That's all they said. Still, Huana felt a foreboding feeling as if she was the one in danger at the moment. Still, it was already decided that the trade would be conducted fairly, so she calmed herself.

"I'm just joking. In any case, I already authorized the entrance of the puppet."

Sometime later, the puppet was brought into the room, where Krune took a Spatial Ring from inside. Well, that was just a pretense. The fact was that the Godly Energy Stones had always been with him from start to finish.

Krune then passed the amount into the same spatial ring he gave Huana before so she could check. After confirming that it really had 2000 Godly Energy Stones inside, she nodded.

"It's indeed 2000 Godly Energy Stones."

She then took two boxes from her own Spatial Ring and passed them to Krune and Feifei. Naturally, they had the Heavenly Fragments inside. Krune didn't even look as he passed his own box to Feifei.

Feifei then opened each of them and confirmed that they were the real deal. After that, she closed the boxes again before putting both into her Spatial Ring.

"Thank you very much, Senior Huana."

Deep down, Feifei was relieved. She was confident that she and Krune could escape this place any time they wanted, just like they did in other Universes in the past. However, one couldn't always be sure. Besides, that would also mean they wouldn't get any Heavenly Fragments once again.

Huana smiled before offering.

"Alright. What about we have dinner together to celebrate this successful trade?"

Of course, Huana only asked that out of courtesy. Anyone in this situation would want to leave as soon as possible. However...

"Oh, that's a great idea! By the way, I'll be the one cooking."

Huana's smile froze for a moment as she looked at Krune's carefreeness.

'Hey, hey, hey! Shouldn't you be more concerned? What if we prepare a trap for you or something like that? Can't you follow the script and use some sloppy excuse that you need to leave? Come on!'

Or so she wanted to say. However, as the one who offered that, she could only accept it.

"O-Oh! That's great, then. I saw that Kuge, Juse, and Polik liked your food very much before, so I want to taste it as well."

Kuge's group was still in the room, so their eyes immediately lit up. Sure enough, they couldn't forget Krune's food even if they wanted to.

Feifei didn't mind it much either. Now that the Heavenly Fragments were in her hands, they won't go anywhere anymore.

Later that day, Krune prepared a real big banquet for everyone. He even invited the workers there, to whom no one usually paid real attention. Once again, there was a show of breakthroughs because of the very low cultivation those workers had. Nonetheless, Huana was also taken aback by Krune's food. Let alone how incredulously delicious it was, just the energy provided to her cultivation alone was amazing. Obviously, she accepted Krune's deserts without even pretending to not need them anymore.

Once they all finished cleaning things up, Krune and Feifei finally decided to depart from Dole Universe.

"Well then, Lady Huana, Kuge, we're leaving now. Thanks for the hospitality."

Huana and Kuge nodded.

"I'm just sad that we didn't have more Ownerless Heavely Fragments. Unfortunately, the others had been fused together by a single person during the war. As you probably know, Heavenly Fragments that have been fused can't be separated anymore, so they're useless for everyone else."

Krune knew that. That's why they usually only found one or at most two Ownerless Heavenly Fragments each time.

"It's fine. Maybe these are the ones we really need. Well, I hope we meet again someday, Lady Huana."

Huana nodded.

Krune then opened a Spatial Gate before he and Feifei entered it. However, just as the Spatial Gate was about to disappear completely, Huana received a Divine Sense message from Krune.

'By the way, I left something extra for you in that box with the deserts. What you want to do with it is your own problem.'

Huana was taken aback and quickly looked around. However, it seemed that she was the only one who heard that message. After that, she gave everyone a few orders and returned to the Planet. She then took that Spatial Ring with the Godly Energy Stones. Huana separated them into five equal portions before sending them to the five powers. Only when the leaders confirmed the delivery did she finally settle down.

'Something extra in my dessert box?'

Huana couldn't hold her curiosity anymore and pulled the dessert box from a drawer. She planned to eat the desserts inside slowly since she didn't know if she would have something like them again. Like the ones that Kuge's group got, this box was also sealed with Spatial Laws to keep the desserts' integrity for a very long time.

She spread her Divine Sense inside but couldn't see anything other than the desserts at first. Only after examining it very carefully did she finally see an inconspicuous point sealed with an even higher level of Spatial Laws.

However, the moment she touched that thing, it seemed to have sensed her as it opened like a lock. Inside, there was another Spatial Ring. She quickly sent her Divine Sense inside and was taken aback. There, another 2000 Godly Energy Stones were present, much to her dismay.

'This... why?'

She didn't know, but Feifei and Krune were using Mental Energy to watch all her moves. Anti-Divine Sense formations were useless against it. Obviously, Huana didn't know that, so she thought she was safe.

They then saw how she tried to convince the leaders of the other powers that attacking them wouldn't be a good idea. She really didn't want to do so either. Krune then decided to leave these extra Godly Energy Stones as a gift for her efforts. Well, he really had a lot of those common ones, to begin with.

'Well... It seems like I really was right.'
