Chapter 648 - Where Are My Chickens?

Chapter 648 - Where Are My Chickens?
Lunar Academy.
Chris' abode.
"Almost like I left it," Chris said as he walked out of his small cabin.
Grey and the others walked out of the cabin, looking around. This was the first time Delia, Reynolds, and Alice had been here, so they were a little curious about it.
Klaus had been here a few times with his father, so he wasn't interested in anything here.
Oliver was the only one left in the cabin, he could be seen lying on the bed there. After the battle ended, he entered a weakened state. Chris had helped as much as he could, but this was out of his hand.
"How did you four improve so fast?" Chris asked after sitting leisurely on his chair outside the cabin.
"The trial land," Grey's reply was simple.
This was the main reason they improved at the pace they did, so he naturally gave it all the credit.
Chris looked at the group and nodded his head in approval. Thinking about the trial land, he couldn't help but shake his head at the thought of his experience there. No one knew he had been in the trial land training for so long.
"Uncle, how come you look younger?" Klaus asked curiously.
"What do you mean? I've always looked like this," Chris raised a brow when he heard Klaus' question.
"Heh!" Klaus didn't say a word, but his reaction already showed what he wanted to say.
Chris waved his hand.
Splash!
The sound of a figure falling into the water reverberated out, and when the others looked around, Klaus was nowhere to be seen. It was obvious that he was the person who fell into the water.
"Boy, now tell me, what happened to my food?" Chris asked, not moving his gaze from Grey.
After returning, he had been searching for the bunnies he was training here before he was kidnapped by that old man, and he didn't find any. He originally wanted to tell Grey to make his special bunny and chicken soup for him, but now, there was no bunny or chicken. How will Grey cook without the main ingredient?
"I have no idea, when I came back from the trial land, it was empty," Grey replied.
He originally thought maybe Chris let them go before he went for his expedition, but from the looks of it, it seems like he wasn't the one.
Chris turned his gaze to Blake, and Blake quickly looked in another direction, looking around awkwardly.
"You, what did you do to my barn?" Chris was a little annoyed that his barn was empty.
"You were missing and Grey was in the trial land. There was no one to take care of them, so I gave them out," Blake coughed awkwardly.
"My chickens and bunnies…" Chris muttered slowly.
Void who had been studying Chris all this while was a little taken aback by his behavior. If one didn't know, they would think he cherished the chickens and bunnies, but the truth was that he only cherished them when he was eating them.
Delia and Alice closed their mouths as they laughed silently. Blake scratched his head awkwardly while Klaus came out of the water, all dried up. He was a Water Elementalist, so removing the water from his clothes was an easy feat.
Blake finally went to get chickens and bunnies from the city for Chris.
When Grey saw a bunny in front of him, a rare image appeared in his head, and it was that of a bunny that was laughing mischievously. He shuddered from the thought of his suffering when he encountered that particular bunny.
Void knew what he was thinking about since he had also fallen victim to the bunny's tricks.
Chris stood close to Grey, closely monitoring him as he was busy cooking. They spoke about a few things and Grey told him of his experiences. He didn't forget to tell him of the Aurora Continent, and to his surprise, Chris didn't have a change in his expression when he heard of it.
"You went there as well?" Grey inquired.
"Not exactly, but I do know of it. In fact, I know it's history as well," Chris replied calmly before they fell into silence.
"Teacher," Grey called out to break the silence.
"Hmm," Chris looked at his student.
"Where's Brown?" Grey asked.
Since Chris appeared, he had been searching for the Griffin for a while now, but he still hadn't sensed any sign of her. He naturally missed Brown.
"Oh, she's on the verge of breaking through to the Sage Plane and becoming a Rank Six Magical beast," Chris replied, one could sense the relief in his voice.
When he was in the Overlord Plane, Brown was still a Rank Four Magical beast, but in the space of almost two years, she had gone from Rank Four to almost becoming a Rank Six beast. Given how things were before he left, he was certain that she would break through before he returned.
"Oh, where is she?" Grey asked curiously.
"That's a secret, for now, focus on your job, it's been so long I ate something," Chris was almost drooling as he stared at the pot.
Grey chuckled before going back to cooking. He usually has a large number of ingredients with him, so other than the chickens and bunnies, they didn't need to buy anything else.
When he finished cooking, everyone got a plate of soup. He also made one of the delicacies he learned from the Aurora Continent. During their time there, thanks to Void, he learned a lot of recipes, so he decided to treat his Teacher to a nice meal. He knew just how much his Teacher loved eating, so he made the best for him.
Chris also had a spatial ring, which didn't come as a shock to Grey since he already had knowledge of the Aurora Continent, it was natural that he would have a spatial ring as well.
Everyone ate their fill while joking and laughing together. Even Oliver came out from the cabin to join in on the fun.
It was hard to believe that a few hours ago, these people were fighting a life and death battle, well, except for Chris.
