Chapter 46: Silly Girl

“What did you say? You got Scarlet Punishment again?”

Night Demon’s voice was extremely shrill, as if his throat had been pinched by a door..

A gaze filled with anger and confusion was directed at Su Chen from underneath a black veil. His voice was rough, “What did you do?”

“It was nothing, really. I just beat Su Qian a little.”

“Was it severe?”

Su Chen tilted his head and thought for a moment, then replied, “It wasn’t really that bad. I just broke the bridge of his nose, knocked out two of his teeth, ripped his left ear into shreds, poked his eyes so that they swell – he won’t be able to see for about three days – and then I broke his right shoulder…… I was very proper with my actions. They are all things that are easy to take care of.”

Night Demon inhaled sharply. She 1 could imagine Su Qian’s appearance and the Su Clan members’ anger.

Of course, they all swallowed their anger in astonishment when they heard Su Chen say “I choose the Scarlet Punishment.”

On that day, everyone in the Su Clan looked at Su Chen as if they were looking at a crazy man.

They had no way of imagining it, nor did they understand it.

“Why did you do this?” Night Demon asked.

“Because I want to break through. I want to get the Cloud Bat Bloodline, I want to become stronger, and I wanted to unrestrainedly beat the people I want to beat,” Su Chen replied.

In some sense, the words that he spoke were all genuine.

Night Demon was left speechless.

After a moment, she said with some difficulty, “For you to return from the Scarlet Mountain Range once does not mean that you will be able to return twice. Do you know what kind of people die the fastest in the Scarlet Mountain Range?”

“Weak people?” Su Chen asked.

“No,” Night Demon shook her head. “Weak people know that they are weak. Thus, they never do things that they feel uncomfortable doing. They act carefully, and treat survival as their number one goal, and they will not go to dangerous areas easily. The people that die the fastest are those who have a certain amount of strength and who have a certain level of experience surviving in the mountain range. Having successfully exited the Scarlet Mountain Range before, they feel as if they are already used to the dangers hidden in that place. In addition, because they are stronger than before, they believe that they can go to more dangerous areas. Because they have more confidence, they look down on the danger hidden in those mountains…… The moment that they let down their guard is the moment when their death is imminent.”

Su Chen shivered.

Night Demon could be pretty silly sometimes, but her words just then were very accurate.

Su Chen was exactly the type of person she had described. After experiencing Scarlet Punishment once and safely returning, he had instinctively underestimated the dangers of the Scarlet Mountain Range. He had already decided that this time he would go deeper into the mountain range and encounter even more Vicious Beasts, saving himself even more time.

This was a very frightening and life-threatening way of thinking. It indicated that he might run into even greater danger.

Perhaps he could escape time after time from many dangers, but as long as he failed once…… there would not be any more attempts in the future!

Upon thinking to this point, Su Chen bowed respectfully to Night Demon. “You’re right to rebuke me. I looked down on the dangers of the Scarlet Mountain Range and overestimated my own abilities.”

Night Demon obviously did not expect Su Chen to listen so carefully to her. She felt pleased with herself. “You’re not too bad; at least you are teachable.”

She was clearly very proud of her wisdom.

Su Chen secretly laughed.

Night Demon said, “Since it’s like this, you don’t need to go anymore, right?”

Su Chen shook his head. “I still need to go. After all, I already beat the person, so I back down anyways. What I meant was that my attitude has been adjusted. I will need to prepare myself more and be more careful and prudent, but that doesn’t mean that I will give up so easily. Originally, I was only intending on borrowing the Black Streak Battle Blade and the Amethyst Battle Armor, but now it seems that I should still borrow all four of them. Also, you should probably give me more medicines and a few more Cracked Soul Magic Pearls.

Night Demon angrily huffed, “I said so much out of compassion just to change your mind so you’d extort us a little more?”

“Hey, what do you mean, extort, that sounds so ugly. Let’s call it mutually benefiting. After all, I am not just taking your items without giving them back; didn’t I return everything to you last time?” Su Chen playfully defended himself.

“You haven’t returned the consumables yet.”

“Hmph, is it not enough that I’ll use my own Origin Stones this time? Can’t you just calculate the cost of the medicines and Cracked Soul Magic Pearls and treat it as if I had bought them? Of course, they are all poor quality, so they should be cheaper. Last time, when I bought those techniques from you, no matter what I still helped you do business. Now, I really don’t have much money anymore.”

“This……” Night Demon rubbed her chin. “It’s not impossible, but I need to go back and ask first.”

The second night, Night Demon reappeared as usual.

She got straight to the point. “The leaders agreed to lend you the four Origin Tools after some discussion as well as give you the medicines and the Cracked Soul Magic Pearls for free. Don’t worry, this time they are all good medicines, and you don’t need to pay anything for them.”

“That good? This can’t be true.” Su Chen didn’t believe that meat pies would fall from the sky like that.

“It’s fine as long as you help us take care of something,” Night Demon said.

“What thing?”
