If you succeed, I’ll consider relaxing some of your restrictions. How’s that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Krista was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, the crying child gets the candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, those like the ghoul Pan Ni, the orc Amy, and the zombie Selena—all burdened with sins—received little to no reward even when they completed tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they never caused trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But someone like the banshee Krista? If she didn’t demand something, she’d feel like she’d been robbed of life—she’d pout, whine, and throw tantrums all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the other three, this one’s offense was the mildest, even if her personality was a bit foul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chatted for a few moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De then ordered her back to Henry Farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brat stubbornly refused, claiming the journey was too far and the path too slippery in the dark, insisting on staying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let her stay, then—he didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Tally’s roleplay last night had been too immersive; after two soul shocks, she still hadn’t recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De hadn’t calmed down yet and didn’t want to wait for her, so he headed to Henry Farm to deal with Pan Ni.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Krista suddenly announced she was leaving—and insisted on returning with the Tree Walker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight streamed through the window, spilling onto the bed in the second-floor bedroom of Henry Farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bed, Luo De opened his eyes after a brief rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual energy overflowed, his spirit brimming with vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mid-sixth tier, then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had vaguely sensed it for days, but never expected to ascend on Pan Ni’s bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual accumulation had surged dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality was excellent too—already subtly sharp, like a blade’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De knew this was a spiritual technique of the Seventh Tier Spirit Warrior’s Cut-Iron School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They refined their spiritual sharpness to its utmost extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if it suits me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pinched the pale, lifeless body curled in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Ni lay half atop Luo De, using his arm as a pillow, one leg casually pressed against his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mouth still held his finger, gently biting and sucking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She loved biting—especially during intimate moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint set of tooth marks still lingered on Luo De’s shoulder, left when Pan Ni ascended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps that’s a ghoul trait—they say they all have a habit of devouring those they love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d once found a waterlogged finger bone locked in a drawer; no need to guess—it was a gift from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she couldn’t bite through, and biting added a certain thrill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed the ghoul off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De dressed and walked into the forest, then used the Tree Walker to swiftly arrive at the Willow Sand Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Long Hun Nao Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew he’d returned and greeted him via the Far-Speech Chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Luo De and Pan Ni had been locked in fierce combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unluckily, she’d overheard his cries—and flew into a jealous rage, weeping and demanding he abandon the fox spirit and return immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the dragon soul girl, lacking a body, gained nothing but amusement for Luo De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nao Lin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De reached the edge of the Willow Sand Zone and called softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Nao Lin spent most of each day asleep; ordinary voices wouldn’t rouse her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo De’s voice was set as a special alert—she’d awaken even without him speaking, merely by his proximity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, clearly, she was throwing a tantrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De chuckled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he feigned resignation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, sometimes I admire myself—how selfless and unselfish I am toward you, giving without expecting anything in return. But then I remind myself: I do it for our future. And what’s the result? I traveled across the entire Kingdom of Aitherong and the Heavenly Flower Nation, endured hardship to obtain the dragon body materials—and I still haven’t even seen your face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A patch of pink earth nearby sprouted two dragon horns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.
