The next morning, when Jing Hongchen headed out and saw the faint bluish shadows beneath Jiang Qingtong's eyes, he asked, "Didn't you sleep well yesterday?"
Jiang Qingtong shook her head. "Maybe I'm not acclimated to the local conditions. I've been having a little trouble sleeping."
As a Limit Douluo, it would have been all too easy for Ye Xishui to block Jing Hongchen's perception. Jiang Qingtong did not blame him for failing to help in time.

"Aren't the Rank Nine Soul Tools on you enough?" Jing Hongchen looked bewildered upon hearing her request. "Don't tell me you plan to hand out Soul Tools all over Shrek
