In the end, the time alone that Krune wanted to have with Feifei turned our to be a group meeting. Krune also tried to contact Lofa and Tasier, but for some reason, neither one of them was answering his call. He could understand Lofa, but why he can't reach Tasier too? Still, he just thought that Tasier was probably busy and gave up calling him as well.

Feifei then spent most of her time with the wisps in the house. She looked like a kid who found a new toy and played quite a lot with the young ones. Although she wasn't pretending, that also helped to reinforce the other's convictions that Feifei was just being curious about the wisps and doesn't have any interest in Krune specifically.

Most of those who came left just a few hours later, Lucio and the grand elders were part of this group. The ones who stayed were basically Feifei, Uncle Feng, and the guys who tried to get closer to her all day long. Still, she paid little attention to their attempts. Krune saw that and just snorted. Feifei has already told him what the real reason for them to come to this exchange program, so he didn't mind. Not to mention that Krune trust her, so he didn't try to intervene either.

Uncle Feng just sat in a corner while drinking. At his realm, getting drunk was basically impossible if he didn't wish for that. Still, he enjoyed the feeling of good wine.

Of course, Krune and Feifei were also talking with each other. It is just that they did that through Divine Sense, so no one noticed.

"I see, so that is what this mark is about. Doesn't that mean that I'm considered your first choice?"

Feifei nodded.

"Exactly! So you better make sure to not lose it. Also, it has a unique effect. If any other woman tries to have her way with you, it will appear and stop them from doing it."

Krune was taken aback by that. But he finally remembered that day when Lofa hugged him and the mark activated.

"I see, that's why it came out that day."

Feifei then gave him a side glance and said.

"Well then, what day are you talking about?"

As expected, Krune wasn't able to see the 'angry' meaning of that question. So he simply replied truthfully about what happened with him and Lofa.

Feifei then started to laugh.

"You thought that she just wanted to join the exchange program? How can you be so clueless about a woman's heart? Still, I guess that was for the best. After all, it shows that you had no feelings for her to start with."

Krune then sighed.

"We can't be together that way, but we can still be friends just like before, so everything is okay."

Feifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even she doesn't know if she would be able to pretend that nothing happened if she was Lofa. Feifei was also impressed that Krune didn't seem to have any problem doing that. As one says, ignorance is bliss. His low EQ had its advantages, after all.

Krune then said.

"Anyway, forget that for now. What should I do with this mark? Isn't it better for me to simply announce that I got it from you? That way, all those guys bothering you would fly away, no?"

Feifei then laughed once more.

"Sure, go ahead and do it. But remember that father would definitely do everything in his power to get rid of you. After all, whoever marries me is supposed to be someone from our own territory and must marry into my Clan."

Krune was taken aback by that answer.

"Cough, cough. I guess it is good to keep things as they are at the moment. As for marrying into your Clan, to be honest, I don't mind it. But I guess Master would definitely not agree with that. Can't we just get together without leaving our powers? It's not like you need to leave the Wang Clan, or I leave the Divine Path Sect, right?"

Feifei then sighed.

"I, too, think that it would be the simplest way. In fact, that's what I want to happen, as well. But for that, let alone you, even I will have to have enough power to make my own opinion valid. It has nothing to do with being a woman since my Clan doesn't care about the genders, it is just that my improved Destiny Core is too important for them."

Krune nodded and then said.

"Then that's okay. We just need to wait until we get strong enough to have our voices heard. Besides, Master wouldn't approve me marrying into your Clan, but I'm sure that he wouldn't care whether you marry into our Sect or not either. That old geezer just doesn't want to give me away."

Feifei shook her head.

"It's not that simple. I don't know how long I can keep it like this. In my Clan, it is normal for both men and women to marry before the age of 30. So if I take longer than that, they will probably think that something is not right. At that point, I won't be able to hide the fact that I already gave my mark away."

Krune heard that and asked.

"Talking about this mark, can they use it to track me down? I heard from Master that it shouldn't be possible."

Feifei nodded.

"You are right, other than that specific ability that I left inside, it can't be used for anything else other than proving that I selected you. But it won't be necessary to track it down anyway. With the mark gone and me not saying where it went too, the Clan will be left with no other choice other than creating a new one. Although it was rare, it did happen in the past."

Feifei then smiled and said.

"At that point, you better be ready since I will tell everyone where it is. It is much better than have a new one made and have to marry someone else. Hahahaha!"

Krune felt a chill on his back just by hearing that.

"I... will give my best into cultivation."

Feifei nodded.

"And so will I! You are the one I want, after all!"

Krune then laughed.

"Anyway, we still have five months before the missions part start. I won't be participating in the teaching program since I already have the Sect Master. But you can come to visit me, or I can go to your house any time you want."

Feifei then showed a playful smile and asked.

"Does it mean that you are going to visit a girl alone at her house?"

Krune nodded.

"Is that a problem?"

Feifei noticed Krune's clueless face and laughed out loud, much for the other guys' confusion.

"You are really the Krune that I know, totally clueless about those kinds of things."

Krune didn't know what Feifei was talking about, so he decided to ask someone else about it later.

As for Feifei, she could only think.

'Indeed, I wasn't wrong to choose you. All those annoying rules about the relationships have no meaning in your head. You are really the best!'

As a daughter of the Clan head, everyone around Feifei's age always treated her with the utmost respect and acted accordingly. For someone with a playful mind like her, their way of acting was nothing more than torture! The worst part was to have to act the same way back to keep the Clan's Face. But Krune didn't give a damn to all that, though. Even after finding out who she was, he still didn't change his ways. For Feifei, nothing could be better than that.

Feifei then alerted Krune.

"I will try to sneak away without the grand elder noticing, so you can just wait for me to come. But don't go to my house, the grand elder would never let a man staying alone with me there, even if it is a wisp."

Although Krune didn't understand why is that, he realized that it seemed to be important, so he agreed with her.

The day came to an end, and Feifei and the flies decided to leave. But before that happened, Krune told Feifei two things.

"Oh, right! I need to give you the real form of the Myriad Energies Technique, next time you come, I will let you try it out."

Krune then continued.

"Also, remember that I won't take part in the teaching program. I will use this time to finish improving my Blacksmith Rank before the missions start. I need to make sure that my shields are ready, after all. But I will send you a message through your communicator to tell when I'm not at the Blacksmith Hall."

Feifei nodded.

"Good, I doubt I will be back in the next few days anyway since it will be the start of the teaching part. But I will let you know too when things get calmer."

Krune bid farewell to Feifei and Uncle Feng and went back inside. He hasn't done anything during that day other than cooking, so he wasn't tired. He then grabbed his things and went to the Blacksmith Hall to continue his practice. Now that he advanced to the 3rd stage, his ability has improved once again, which helped him a lot.

Back at Feifei's house, Feifei and Uncle Feng were talking about what happened that day.

Uncle Feng looked at her and said.

"Well, at first, I was doubtful about your choice. But after watching Krune during this one month, I have to admit that there are very few out there that could match him. Even though the Spiritual Pool helped, the fact that he was able to jump two stages in a month is impressive already. But not only that, his combat prowess is at the very top too! I can only think about four or five names that could put up a fight against him at the same level of cultivation."

Feifei was very happy to hear that, only she knows how many times Uncle Feng tried to change her mind.

"Haha! So you finally recognized him. Now, look at that, who changed his mind in the end, uh?"

Uncle Feng didn't care about Feifei's teasing, though. With his age, there are very few things that could achieve that effect on him.

"Anyway, getting my recognition is one thing. I look forward to seeing how you will convince your Clan instead."

Feifei then showed an angry face that couldn't really scare anyone.

"Hmph! We will obviously find a way!"
