Chapter 1833: Unresolved Matter
Having 30 million rit points accorded to him took Chen Xiaobei by surprise.
There was a famous Chinese saying that went, ‘the good will be rewarded, and the evil punished, but if you haven’t received it, it’s only a matter of ti’.
Chen Xiaobei’s careful planning warranted the safety of the civilians and helped prevent a massacre of a considerable scale. He resolved the Nine Zones greatest conflict at the smallest cost!
The Heavenly Path’s rit points were a confirmation and a reward for Chen Xiaobei.
This was a pleasant surprise for him as he did not expect to be getting additional reward.
Not only did he gain honor and recognition, but he also received rit points.
While Chen Xiaobei did not anticipate this, it actually made complete sense.
Back in Northern Wilderness starfield, Chen Xiaobei resolved the war between one million young soldiers and one million Demonic Beasts.
He was awarded 10 million rit points for that.
Based on that calculation, the 30 million rit points ant that Chen Xiaobei saved 6 million people’s lives!
6 million people might sound like an exaggeration but had the war between Tenshou and Saint Duke continued, the number of casualties from both sides would add up 6 million!
It would have been like that ti when Emperor Qin tore down 6 kingdoms and united the nation. Although many people were killed in the process, it went on to save thousands more from death and suffering!
For that reason, the Heavenly Path awarded the emperor with enough rit points that it allowed Yingzhen to directly ascend to the Heavenly Realm and beca a deity.
If he had not been frad by Jade Emperor, Xufu reckoned that Yingzhen would have been roaming free in the Heavenly Realm instead of being trapped inside the black coffin.
But that was completely off-topic.
After receiving the 30 million rit points, Chen Xiaobei’s current total rit points exceeded 60 million, advancing him to an Eighth-Generation Philanthropist.
If his rit point reached 90 million, he would be aggrandized to a Ninth-Generation Philanthropist. Then, he could exchange his rit points for an Earth-God position.
Chen Xiaobei would never do that, of course.
He was already at God-Ascension cultivation, only a step away from Primordial Spirit cultivation. There was no need to waste his rit points!
Moreover, Shen Gongpao was in possession of the rit points ledger. Chen Xiaobei would be charged 10 tis the cost. The last ti he was able to exchange an Earth-God’s cultivation for Diao Chan only because Shen Gongpao was too distracted with the King of Glory competition.
Instead, he would use his rit points, to exchange for sothing else.
A short while ago, Chen Xiaobei traded for 30 Good Luck charms which helped turned his troubles around.
In theory, as long as he had enough rit points, he would be able to exchange for anything he wanted.
By accumulating rit points, Chen Xiaobei could exchange his points when the need arose, giving him the leeway as an alternative to the Red Envelope Snatching sessions.
Chen Xiaobei might even consider using his points to exchange for Earth-God cultivation for the others like Xiangyu, Jiang Ziya, Ne Zha, Hong Hai’er, and Old Wang.
The five of them ca from the Three Realms Red Envelope group. Making them Earth-Gods would be very useful to Chen Xiaobei.
But this was a topic for another ti.
Chen Xiaobei did not have the 90 million rit points yet. He would only decide when he did.
…
Now that everything had drawn to a close, the leaders of the forces left for the planets assigned to them.
The people of Saint Duke returned to their starfield to prepare for the Tenshou trials. They, too, would have to administer the forty-over planets allocated to them and to help the people of Tenshou recover from war.
It was going to be very busy period for the Saint Dukes.
With everyone gone, Luo Puti and Chen Xiaobei were finally alone.
Absence really did make the heart grow fonder – the many months of separation made this reunion especially invaluable.
The couple embraced each other and muttered sweet, tender words.
Chen Xiaobei lowered his head to kiss Luo Puti, but Luo Puti turned her head to the side.
“What is it?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
There was no one around, and they were both burning with passion. Why was Luo Puti reluctant?
“I… I’m not ready…” Luo Puti bit her lower lip.
“What… is there to prepare for?” Chen Xiaobei asked. “You’ve already accepted my proposal, right?”
“Yes, of course, and that’s the best decision I’ve ever made! But Saint Duke is still in a pandemonium… our people are still suffering…. the two people I care about most are still missing… I can’t possibly get myself involved in a romantic relationship right now…”
“The people you’re talking about are your foster parents?”
“Yes… When I was still a baby, my foster parents escaped to earth with . They were the ones who raised ! For my sake, they gave up their own flesh and blood! They loved
like their own, and I’ve always seen them as my real parents…”
“I understand. You don’t need to explain yourself.” Chen Xiaobei nodded and released Luo Puti.
Back on earth, Chen Xiaobei saw firsthand how hard Luo Puti had worked to find her foster parents!
Chen Xiaobei even went on a trip with her to help her find them. She was even willing to risk her own life for that!
To her, her foster parents were her true parents, and their lives mattered more than her own!
Chen Xiaobei knew that better than anyone else.
Until she found her parents, Luo Puti would never be able to open up her heart, nor would she leave her cold, protective shell.
“I’m sorry… Xiaobei…” Luo Puti sighed. “We’re finally together again but because of … I ruined the mont… I hope you’re not mad at …”
“Silly girl! How could I be mad at you for being filial?” Chen Xiaobei smiled. “Actually, I have an even bigger present! I was going to give it to you after our coupling. But I guess we’ll have to change the order of things!”
“There’s another gift?”
“Look closely!” Chen Xiaobei took out the Green Jade Cauldron and two persons appeared before them.
“I…” Luo Puti’s hand flew to her mouth, her eyes already welling up.
