The adult spoke very clearly, yet in a very vague way, leaving Ji Xiaoxiao completely bewildered.

"My lord..." Ji Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, but before she could ask any questions, the lord continued on his own, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, "Anyone below 10% progress is called a slacker. Anyone above 10% progress is called a weak learner. Anyone above 20% progress is called a mediocre learner. And someone with 30% progress... ah, never mind, in other words, the title will change depending on how much progress you make."

Ji Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and then asked, "My lord, if I may be so bold as to ask, what are the benefits of increasing progress and changing the title?"

The adult shook his head directly, "No."

The answer was so clean and concise that Ji Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded and speechless.

"The skills were given to me, just some special abilities. The rewards were also given by me, nothing more than food, things to use, and clothes. As for the divine objects, whoever finds them keeps them." Perhaps out of a desire to die sooner rather than later, the adult explained everything in one breath.

For the first time ever, Ji Xiaoxiao understood the brief explanation.

After saying a lot of things, the adult got tired, waved his hand, and Ji Xiaoxiao left.

"My lord, I haven't digested it yet."

Ji Xiaoxiao's innermost thoughts were destined never to reach the adults' ears.

Whoosh, whoosh... the loud sound of the wind echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

In her dazed state, Ji Xiaoxiao felt herself being carried on someone's shoulder, stumbling along the way. She almost threw up, but thankfully she was empty-handed and managed to hold it in.

"Senior brother, the corpse demons are relentlessly pursuing us. We definitely can't escape with her. Quickly put this demonic sect girl down." It was a female voice, beautiful as a nightingale singing in a valley. However, every word she uttered aroused Ji Xiaoxiao's body's disgust. Because of love for the house, and hatred for the house, Ji Xiaoxiao had no liking for that chattering girl.

"A corpse demon? That sounds intimidating, but you're letting me go now because you want me dead!"

Okay, we need to add another adjective before "girl" to describe her.

"Junior sister, Shenyin is unconscious because she saved us. If we abandon her, how are we any different from the people of the Demonic Sect?" The person carrying Ji Xiaoxiao was a man. His voice was deep and sexy, each sound like a cat's claws scratching at Ji Xiaoxiao's heart.

"There are bad people, but there are also plenty of good people!" Ji Xiaoxiao thought happily.

Her joy was short-lived; the man poured cold water on her, leaving Ji Xiaoxiao feeling utterly disheartened. Damn it, he was supposed to be a good person, how did he turn into such a villain in the blink of an eye!

“We cannot leave Shenyin behind alone. However, as the eldest disciple of the Haotian Sect and your senior brother, I brought you out, so naturally I will bring you back unharmed. You are righteous disciples and cannot be ungrateful. Therefore, I, Mingyuehui, will bear this responsibility alone!” Mingyuehui emphasized the words “we” and “you”.

After Minghuiyue finished speaking, she released her divine sense and hid Ji Xiaoxiao in a small stone cave.

"Senior brother." A plaintive female voice and a male voice rang out at the same time.

Ming Yuehui turned around and glanced at his junior brothers and sisters, then touched Ji Xiaoxiao's face. "Shenyin, I'm sorry, I can't abandon my junior brothers and sisters."

"Ha, you can't just abandon me and ignore your junior brothers and sisters. You call yourselves righteous disciples, yet you are so ungrateful and unworthy of being human. I am your savior! A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude. I won't ask for anything else, just take me with you!"

"Let's go!" Ming Yuehui waved his hand, and the three of them quickly fled.

"Hey, don't go yet! I don't want to be fed to the ghouls!"

Mingyuehui, like an adult, turned a deaf ear to Ji Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts.

Ji Xiaoxiao remained motionless in the stone cave, barely daring to breathe. She heard strange sounds of pebbles rolling and gurgling, which grew louder as she smelled a foul stench. Suppressing her nausea, her already drowsy soul drifted into a deep sleep.

Shenyin is the young master of Yinhun Mountain. He is exceptionally intelligent and, despite being under fifteen years old, is already a Foundation Establishment cultivator. A young genius, his name is renowned in both the righteous and demonic paths.

At the age of twenty, she advanced to the Golden Core stage, but her realm was unstable and her mental state was insufficient. Shenyin grew tired of the intrigue and deceit in Yinhun Mountain. Under the guise of helping her father find rare and precious materials to refine the Soul Returning Pill, she secretly slipped out of Yinhun Mountain and stepped into the mortal world for the first time.

Finding the mortal world uninteresting and the mundane world unbearable, Shenyin, whose nature was both righteous and wicked, quickly grew tired of it and devoted herself entirely to searching for rare and precious ingredients to refine the Rejuvenation Pill. Along the way, Shenyin encountered the man she both loved and hated in this life—Mingyuehui.

Ming Yuehui is the eldest disciple of Yue Ran, the sect leader of Haotian Sect. He is exceptionally talented and became a Golden Core cultivator before the age of thirty, making him the most prestigious disciple of Haotian Sect in this generation.

Shenyin is a member of the Demonic Sect, while Mingyuehui is a disciple of the Righteous Path. Since ancient times, the righteous and the demonic have been irreconcilable, but for the same purpose, the two were initially forced to come together and endure each other.

Time will tell. After spending a long time together, Shenyin fell in love with Mingyuehui, liking his frankness, his integrity, and everything about him.

On their journey to find a way to refine the Resurrection Pill, Shenyin and Mingyuehui experienced the cannibalistic dreamscape of the Vast Grassland and the bloodthirsty merfolk of the Endless Black Sea. When they arrived at the Wind God Gobi, they were ambushed by a Corpse Demon. In order to save Mingyuehui, Shenyin accidentally inhaled a mouthful of the Corpse Demon's corpse energy and fell into a coma.

When Shenyin awoke, she found herself in a mountain cave, with no sign of Mingyuehui. Thinking something had happened to Mingyuehui, Shenyin recklessly launched a large-scale search for him throughout the Fengshen Gobi Desert.

Time passed, but Mingyuehui remained nowhere to be found. Just as Shenyin was losing all hope, she received news that Mingyuehui had forcibly taken the Soul-Connecting Water from Yinhun Mountain. That news was like rain after a long drought, and Shenyin, whose heart had been ashen, was revived.
