The Obedient Demoness and the Ten-Thousand-Point Reward

Zhao Wuji recognized the Titan Giant Ape at a glance, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, king of the forest, we mean no offense. If this is your territory, we'll leave at once."

But the Titan Giant Ape clearly had no interest in Zhao Wuji. It made one simple move, and everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.

It took a step forward.

Fortunately, it stepped not toward Zhao Wuji and the others, but toward Xiao Wu and Tang San.

Oscar: "I thought I was a goner."

Dai Mubai: "Me too."

Tang San: "I'm a goner, I'm a goner..."

Xiao Wu: "..."

Ning Rongrong stood in midair, flying at just the right height to be level with the Titan Giant Ape's head.

Although her body was vastly smaller than the Titan Giant Ape's, her bearing showed not the slightest trace of fear.

Zhu Zhuqing had been somewhat afraid, but staying beside Ning Rongrong gave her an inexplicable sense of security, and her fearful heart gradually settled.

Even though she knew Ning Rongrong had no way of dealing with the Titan Giant Ape either.

Seeing the Titan Giant Ape draw closer and closer to Xiao Wu and Tang San, and still not give him the time of day, Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I'll hold him off. Eat Oscar's Mushroom Sausages and leave here at once. I'm afraid I can't hold out for long, so you must hurry."

With that, Zhao Wuji took a deep breath. The seven Soul Rings on his body suddenly lit up, and he charged toward the Titan Giant Ape.

The Soul Skills of his first, second, third, and fifth Soul Rings all lit up at once. Facing such a formidable opponent, Zhao Wuji unleashed four of his seven Soul Skills right away.

He knew perfectly well he couldn't win, yet he was still the first to charge.

It was truly moving.

Fortunately, the Titan Giant Ape had only come looking for Xiao Wu. Otherwise, wouldn't he have been killed in an instant?

But that was only what Ning Rongrong thought. In the others' eyes, it actually went like this-

"I never expected Teacher Zhao, who usually seems so unreliable, to be so dependable today." Tears streamed down Tang San's face.

Even Dai Mubai was somewhat moved. "If Teacher Zhao were a little younger, I might fall for him..."

Oscar: "Huh???"

Some people couldn't help tightening their grip on "Yue Guan's Martial Soul."

Zhao Wuji's righteous courage moved everyone.

Especially when they saw Zhao Wuji charge alone at the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape, Dai Mubai and Oscar both cried, "Teacher, we're coming to help you!" and charged over as well.

They knew it couldn't be done, yet did it anyway.

They were all brave people.

Zhu Zhuqing watched everyone charge over, but Ning Rongrong hadn't moved. Feeling somewhat torn, she couldn't help asking, "Rongrong, what should we do?"

Ning Rongrong smiled faintly and said, "Did you hear what Teacher Zhao just said? He told us to leave first. Everyone says I'm a Little Demoness who never listens. Today, I want to listen for once."

"!!!!!! WTF!"

Ning Rongrong's voice was neither loud nor soft, but everyone present could hear her.

The momentary distraction caused by hearing her nearly got Zhao Wuji sent flying by a slap from the Titan Giant Ape.

Although he had prepared himself to charge in alone, he had also prepared himself for everyone to be moved by him and refuse to leave.

What was more, he thought everyone should choose the second option.

He hadn't expected the Little Demoness to choose the first.

Tang San was startled too. "Rongrong, don't you love bloody battles most? Today we're facing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Don't you...?"

"No!" Ning Rongrong cut Tang San off. "Sorry, today I only want to be a quiet handsome man... woman."

"So, you all go ahead and fight. I'm leaving first~"

What a joke.

There was no way they could win this fight today.

Besides, their opponent had no intention of fighting either.

Why waste their strength on a fight?

To prove she was stronger than a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

She certainly couldn't prove that now.

With that, Ning Rongrong said quietly to Zhu Zhuqing, "Don't worry, they'll be fine."

Then she took Zhu Zhuqing's little hand and flew off into the distance.

She left everyone else standing there, dumbstruck.

A short while later.

Zhao Wuji's face was covered in lumps from the Titan Giant Ape's beating, and he shouted, "You little ancestor! You could've at least given me a buff before you left!"

Tang San, black and blue all over, watched the Titan Giant Ape seize Xiao Wu and carry her away. He stood there and cried in distress.

Meanwhile.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had long since left that area and were walking toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

More precisely, they had already reached the vicinity of the place the others would be returning to.

Not long afterward.

After faintly hearing an inexplicable shout, Ning Rongrong suddenly brightened.

The system notification had sounded.

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, host. You have received 2,000 Identity Points."

Good grief.

This was an unexpected windfall.

Although she didn't quite understand where they had come from, she really did have two thousand more Identity Points.

Her current Identity Points had reached exactly the ten-thousand-point tier, so she could redeem something.

She opened the Identity Shop again and took a look.

The reward at the ten-thousand-Identity-Point tier was listed plainly: Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, Soul Rings, Immortal Herbs, and other rewards could be redeemed.

Before, she hadn't had enough Identity Points to view the specific rewards.

Now she could.

There were six choices at the ten-thousand-point tier, but she could only claim a ten-thousand-point-tier reward once.

In other words, Identity Points weren't spent on redemptions; they accumulated.

Each time they reached a certain level, she could claim a unique reward once.

Once she claimed this ten-thousand-point-tier reward, the tier's rewards would disappear, and she could only wait for the hundred-thousand-point-tier rewards to appear.

The first choice was: one sixty-thousand-year Soul Bone, one ten-thousand-year Soul Ring (or the actual age of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring), and one Mundane Aromatic Silk Beauty.

The second choice was: one fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone, one ten-thousand-year Soul Ring (or the actual age of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring), and one aromatic silk beauty.

The third choice was: one ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, one sixty-thousand-year Soul Ring (or the actual age of a sixty-thousand-year Soul Ring), and one Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

The fourth choice was: one twenty-thousand-year Soul Bone, one fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring (or the actual age of a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring), and one Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

The fifth choice was: one ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, one ten-thousand-year Soul Ring (or the actual age of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring), one narcissus jade muscle bone, one Lovesick Heartbreak Red, and one aromatic silk beauty.

The sixth choice was: one ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, one ten-thousand-year Soul Ring (or the actual age of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring), one ten-thousand-year Soul Ring (or the actual age of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring; can be used on a target, extremely rare, a unique ten-thousand-point-tier reward that cannot be obtained from repeat rewards), one narcissus jade muscle bone, and one Body-Shaping Immortal Herb.

A full six choices!

This was something Ning Rongrong had never expected.

But the sixth choice was also something she had very much wanted to see.

A Body-Shaping Immortal Herb!

What was a Body-Shaping Immortal Herb?

It perfectly removed all physical defects from the target's body and had whitening and body-shaping effects. It increased Soul Power by a fixed four levels. Its effect was unique and could not be used repeatedly.

Though it seemed inferior to the other Immortal Herbs, it was the Immortal Herb Ning Rongrong most wanted to see.

Although the name was somewhat casually chosen...
