Chapter 2313: Chapter 1804: This Time It’s for Emotional Damage Compensation (Double-Length)

"Damn it! I’ve been tricked!"

"I’m so pissed off, that kid laughed at me! What female ghost? I actually believed it!"

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, I won’t let you go!"

"Right, we must get revenge! Kill him!"

"Huh? Where did they go?"

When these air troops returned to the initial location, they found that Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained was gone.

"Search! Even if you have to dig three feet underground, find him!"

"And that woman, kill her to get the Star Shard!"

This group of players, both angry and furious, scattered instinctively, spreading out widely, searching around. No matter how well those two could hide, they couldn’t escape their carpet-search!

...

"You guys keep looking, I’ll go hand in the task!"

At this moment, Su Ran was leisurely watching this farce while riding Wang Cai, treating himself as an outsider. Once all these players had rushed out, he headed towards the statue, and it took him only a few minutes to reach the demon Badongmeng.

The first thing Su Ran did was to activate the Illusion Ghost Ring’s cloaking ability, jump off Wang Cai’s back, and with a thrust of his hips, the statue disappeared again.

"What?"

The demon Badongmeng, hiding in the pit, could not remain calm after sensing the statue’s absence and couldn’t help but shout angrily, "Who’s there? Return my body!"

"Senior, it’s only been an hour, and you don’t recognize me?"

Su Ran chuckled, nonchalantly shifting his position a few times.

"Whoosh!"

A transparent web shot out from the pit, aiming at Su Ran’s previous position.

Without a doubt, the web came up empty, and the spirit’s ambush this time was off target.

"Senior, you’re trying this trick again?"

Su Ran shook his head in amusement, "I’ve already suffered once, how could I not learn my lesson? If you catch me again, what a shame it would be, don’t you think?"

"Whoosh!"

The web lashed out again, but unfortunately, it still couldn’t catch Su Ran.

"Human, what skill, what courage!"

The demon Badongmeng’s voice was cold, obviously quite irritated by Su Ran, and continued, "Do you know the consequences of offending me?"

"Senior, what you’re saying is not right. I kindly helped you with the task, yet you sent people to deal with us, and a noble demon resorts to such lowly means? Aren’t you ashamed to lecture me? You’ve disgraced the entire demon race!"

Su Ran stood firm in front of the demon, unleashing all his pent-up frustration. Being a hypocrite and still wanting to play the moral high ground, dream on!

"Such arrogance!"

Badongmeng wasn’t a match for Su Ran’s sharp tongue since it was at fault in the first place. Under Su Ran’s questioning, Badongmeng couldn’t find any words to respond with, and said coldly, "Don’t get too happy. This place is surrounded by troops. Let’s see if you can still laugh once your invisibility wears off!"

"Surrounded by troops? Oh dear, I’m so scared, staying here is going to be the end of me! Thanks for the warning, senior! I’d better slip away while my invisibility’s still active!"

Su Ran said in a panicked tone and then fell silent.

"Human, human?"

"Boy?"

"Brave one?"

"Buddy?"

Badongmeng waited for a while, but upon hearing no response, began to panic a little and said regretfully, "Sigh, I was kidding. How could you take it seriously?"

"Oh, so senior was just kidding. I should have known; esteemed demons like you wouldn’t threaten a junior. Looks like I misunderstood you."

Su Ran didn’t string this demon along for long, as his invisibility had a time limit. It was enough to let the demon know he wasn’t someone to be trifled with. After all, he still needed to hand in his task to this NPC; after that, he’d run, but there was no chance he’d return the statue!

"Ahem, you’re still here."

The demon coughed to ease its inner discomfort, "Human, you’re quite bold. Knowing that nearly a thousand people are looking for you, yet you still dare to come here. Where’s that woman? Why haven’t I seen her?"

"Senior, have you ever heard an old saying, ’The most dangerous place is the safest place’? It’s true they’re looking for me, but they’d never expect I’d come here to catch up with you. They won’t find this place anytime soon."

Su Ran asked confidently, "Do you think that makes sense?"

"Human, I admit I underestimated you. To be honest, those people are sent by the woodcutter to help me escape, but all I need is a Star Shard; it’s just a fair trade."

The demon didn’t hide things, explaining what had happened before, "I never thought you would be smart enough to easily get out of the predicament. Now, tell me, what compensation do you want?"

"You really understand me, senior."

Su Ran grinned, satisfied, and said, "Last time, my reputation took a hit, and this time I was frightened, so naturally, I need compensation for the emotional damage. Senior, what do you plan to give this time?"

"Emotional damage? Human, one’s mental strength recovers naturally, so how is that considered damage? If you want compensation, just say it outright, no need to beat around the bush!"

The demon finally understood what reputation loss was, but now a claim of emotional damage came up, which it couldn’t accept. Reputation loss was something the demon could agree to, but emotional damage was not something it could comprehend. Emotional strength damage could be restored with Magic Potions, which are not valuable, so using them for compensation was utterly ridiculous.

"You don’t understand, such damage can’t be recovered easily. You betrayed my trust in you and extinguished my admiration for the demon race. I thought demons were an upright race, but to think they could be so sleazy. How can I recover from this trust loss? How can I trust you again?"

Su Ran cornered it with every sentence, leaving no room for rebuttal, as he was constantly worried about whether he could complete the task before his invisibility ended and get the so-called emotional damage compensation.

"Human, I concede. I’ll compensate you for the emotional damage."

Surprisingly, Badongmeng straightforwardly agreed to the compensation without arguing, rendering all of Su Ran’s prepared arguments unnecessary.

"However,"

Badongmeng hesitated for a moment before continuing, "You need to give me the Star Shard first."

"Senior, your words sound too light. Asking for the Star Shard without stating the compensation clearly, it’s absolutely impossible."

Su Ran immediately refused the NPC, thinking it could pressurize him because of age, dream on!

"Human, as I promised before, I’ll give you another chance to get a special reward; that’s my biggest concession. Don’t be too greedy!"

Badongmeng said this, fearing Su Ran might make an excessive demand. It had nothing in hand, not even a bottle of Mana Potion, let alone the Hundred-year Lingzhi, so what compensation could it offer?

"Senior, how does this special reward compare to the value of the Hundred-year Lingzhi?"

This was Su Ran’s concern. He was unclear what the special reward was, and if it was some random item to fool him, he would have no choice but to accept it. By asking now, he prevented the NPC from pulling any tricks with the reward.

"The Hundred-year Lingzhi can’t be compared to this treasure. It is a rare elixir in the world, the Divine Secret Elixir!"

"What? Divine Secret Elixir?"

The Soul Fire in Su Ran’s eyes blazed instantly, "Two chances to get the Divine Secret Elixir? I’ll take this compensation! You better keep your word!"

"Rest assured, the demon race is not as despic... Never mind, I’d better make a vow."

Badongmeng remembered its earlier misdeeds, which weren’t much better than those of the Human Race, and if it spoke that out loud, it would backfire.

"Senior, look at you, why make vows when there’s trust? According to our previous agreement, this Star Shard is now yours."

Once the demon completed its vow, Su Ran cheerfully stopped it, tossing the Star Shard into the pit, thereby finishing the task that the demon entrusted to him.
