Chapter 34: Still Soft.

34- Still Soft.

Although, I can increase my Sense or Intelligence stat again, I did not do so, because I feel that saving Free stat Points will be better in case of emergency. Although I have more than 40 Free stat Points, but my reasoning tells me saving should be good thing for now instead of spending. Maybe the Intelligence stat improved my thinking ability.

(*Please, no need to comment Yeah you should increase more Intelligence stat as you need it or something like that*)

As for increasing Defense and Resistance stat, that would be put on hold for now because of the poison; as now my Resistance stat cannot be increased and the Defense stat works better with Resistance stat. So, I dont want to disturb that, and for now I can only let it increase as I level up.

As for the Stamina and Charm stat, I feel that it will be of no use. Especially Charm stat, as I dont think I will be finding any females to make them fall for me, well leaving this Lolli who is healing herself. (I cannot get a little girl fall for me, right?), and I dont want to get animals to fall for me. So, put the charm stat on hold for now.

Done thinking about my stats, I turned my attention to the little girl/ Loli or Lolitha.

Maybe the little girl sensed me or something like a coincidence, she also looked at me. So, I said,

Hey if you are feeling ok, then I will take my leave. Good bye

after saying that I turned and started walking in the direction from which I came, So that I can trace back the way I entered the Inner area of the Dark forest and reach the outer area. At least I should stay in less dangerous area.

Now, people might think that me leaving a little girl in this forest alone, is not how a human should behave and have at least some morals...and all bullshit.

But let me remind something: that this is a cultivation world, where strength is what counts but having intelligence is also a must.

Or it would be like justifying the statement

All Brawns and No Brain

Having Strength is an important factor, but to back that up Intelligence is also an important thing. Because who knows, when someone close to you backstabs you because of greed.

If I stay with this girl, I am sure that it would be easier to travel. And it looks like she has a good strength too. Plus, she has that pitiful appearance of a pure kid, which makes people have an urge to protect her and stay with her.

But that doesnt give me relief, instead it makes me vigilant towards her.

Seeing my hesitation visible on my face, the little girl once again hurriedly said

Please take me out of here, I am scared and lost in this forest. And I dont want to encounter a strong monster or human who will attack and kill me. You also saw that this man wanted to do bad things with me and If you had not helped me, then I would have been killed

With that the little girls eyes were moist and she continued

Please take me along with you; although I am injured, I promise I wont be a burden

Finally, a tear came out of her eyes and flowed along her cheeks.

Seeing her pleading and tearful eyes, I can only sigh and say inwardly

My heart is still soft. Ok this will be last time I am going to do something like this.

So, wanting to stop her from crying, I quickly replied,

Alright, dont cry. I will take you out of this forest. But remember after exiting the forest, you and I go our own separate ways

Hearing my reply, the little girl quickly wiped her tears and smiled happily

Yes, thank you

Said the little girl.

Hearing her reply I nodded and sighed inwardly.

Then we moved in the direction from which I came earlier.

The little girl who was following behind Orochi, was grinning watching his back.
