Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong

After completely healing Dugu Yan, Qin Yuan said with a pale face:

"Senior Dugu, once I've recovered, I hope you'll fulfill your promise."

Dugu Bo nodded solemnly, then, with a face full of joy, he left the imperial palace with a reluctant Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan's condition had always been a worry for him. Now that she was completely healed, his inner joy was beyond words, and he couldn't help but feel immense gratitude towards Qin Yuan.

After Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan had gone far away, Qin Yuan's pale and sickly face quickly regained its color and spirit.

"How was my acting?" he asked Qian Renxue with a smug look.

"My little Yuan is the best," Qian Renxue praised sincerely, not dampening his mood at all.

After Qian Renxue left, Qin Yuan lay back on the lounge chair with a relaxed expression, enjoying the service of two beautiful maids.

Now that he had Dugu Bo's promise, in a few days he would enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and use the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot for body refinement!

With [Life Miracle], he knew the effects and usage of all plants like the back of his hand. He knew a special way to use these two peerless immortal herbs.

Although in the original work, Tang San also used these two immortal herbs for body refinement, he needed to reach level seventy to fully refine their medicinal effects.

The special method he knew could completely refine the medicinal effects in a very short time, with all the effects used to improve his physical fitness without any waste!

As for how much he could improve, it depended on the age of the two peerless immortal herbs. The older they were, the more terrifying the increase would be.

What he sought was to improve his physical fitness, so that he could absorb soul rings of higher ages, and his soul power would increase more rapidly!

After all, his martial soul was the Golden Dragon, possessing the Extreme Power. After level thirty, the cultivation speed of extreme attributes would greatly decrease.

Correspondingly, his soul power would be extremely compressed, making the quality and thickness of his soul power far exceed that of soul masters of the same level, and his combat power would also far exceed that of soul masters of the same level.

Therefore, to advance from level fifty-one to level sixty, the total age of his fourth and fifth soul rings could not be less than one hundred thousand years, and that was with the help of the immortal herbs that boosted soul power!

For soul masters with extreme attributes, soul power was just that difficult to increase!

However, the rewards were also abundant enough, and Qin Yuan couldn't wait.

If you're going to act pitiful, you have to act the part, so Qin Yuan decided not to look for Dugu Bo for at least half a month, lest he become suspicious.

Ning Rongrong had joined Shrek Academy for half a year and had a very good relationship with Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and others.

However, that guy Oscar was truly annoying, sticking to her like a piece of dog skin plaster, impossible to get rid of.

"Oscar! If you follow me again, I won't be polite!"

Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and angrily pointed at Oscar, who had followed her to the girls' dormitory.

"Rongrong, I..." Oscar stood awkwardly in place, his hands fidgeting unnaturally.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, standing nearby, could only helplessly cover their foreheads. Chasing girls wasn't done like this.

"Hmph!" Seeing Oscar quiet down, Ning Rongrong snorted and turned back into the dormitory.

Seeing this, Oscar looked pleadingly at Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu:

"Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, you can't just stand by and watch!"

"What can we do?" Xiao Wu said with a smile, hugging her arms.

"You are Rongrong's good best friend, put in a good word for me, and I'm sure Rongrong will change her mind about me!" Oscar said with a lewd grin, rubbing his hands like a fly.

"I'll give you one hundred Gold Soul Coins!"

Xiao Wu's eyes rolled, and she said with difficulty, "Rongrong is my good best friend..."

"Two hundred!" Oscar gritted his teeth hard.

"Deal!" Xiao Wu said with a beaming smile, extending her fair hand towards Oscar.

Oscar's mouth twitched, and he painfully counted out two hundred Gold Soul Coins from his money bag.

After becoming a Soul Elder, the Martial Soul Hall subsidized one hundred Gold Soul Coins per month. This amount was two months' worth, and he felt the pinch.

The Rogue Rabbit snatched the two hundred Gold Soul Coins and pulled Zhu Zhuqing towards the dormitory. Oscar's urgent voice came from behind:

"Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, don't forget what you promised me!"

"Got it," the Rogue Rabbit replied without looking back as she entered the dormitory.

Inside the dormitory, Xiao Wu happily divided half the Gold Soul Coins with Zhu Zhuqing.

"Xiao Wu, this isn't right," Zhu Zhuqing hesitated and didn't reach out.

"What's not right? Rongrong is such a good girl, she should be for our own brother. Do you want to see Rongrong marry some other stranger?" Xiao Wu shoved the Gold Soul Coins into Zhu Zhuqing's arms.

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, still not accepting the Gold Soul Coins, and said, "Then we'll have to ask Rongrong first if she likes anyone, and then try to match her with Oscar. If Rongrong isn't willing, then forget it."

"Hehe, no problem," Xiao Wu happily accepted the two hundred Gold Soul Coins she got for free.

Pushing open the door, she waited for a while and then saw Ning Rongrong, who had just finished bathing, as beautiful and moving as a lotus emerging from water. Her wet, dark hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.

A silk nightgown clung to her delicate body, emitting a refreshing, subtle fragrance.

The Rogue Rabbit flashed a wicked grin and pounced, her hands groping over Ning Rongrong's chest and perky behind, drawing a chiding sound from the girl.

"Hehe, Rongrong, you've developed nicely, a real hourglass figure. I wonder which lucky guy will get to enjoy it in the future!"

Ning Rongrong blushed and lowered her head slightly, remaining silent.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a surprised glance, their beautiful faces filled with curiosity and gossip. They immediately crowded around, beginning their 'interrogation.'

"Rongrong, spill it! What's his name? How long have you known him? How far has it gone?..."

The barrage of questions made Ning Rongrong's pretty face flush with shy crimson, even her earlobes turning a translucent red.

When Ning Rongrong wouldn't answer, the two girls pounced and tickled her. Unable to bear it any longer, Ning Rongrong finally relented.

"Alright, alright, I give up! His name is Qin Yuan. He's a few months older than me, and we've known each other since we were kids..."

"Wow! Childhood sweethearts!" Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise, reminded of her own childhood connection with Tang San.

Beside them, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes held a hint of envy. She thought of Ling Tian, whom she'd met a year ago in the Star Dou Great Forest, and still didn't know his feelings. She was waiting to go to Heaven Dou City to get a response from that man.

In one dorm room, three girls, two of whom had found someone they liked, naturally made the remaining one the target of their 'attacks.'

"Zhuqing, I have Third Brother, Rongrong has Qin Yuan, and you and Boss Dai..." Xiao Wu said with a straightforward, teasing smile, staring at Zhu Zhuqing.

She and Ning Rongrong both knew Zhu Zhuqing was Dai Mubai's fiancée.

Ignoring Xiao Wu's teasing, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly.

"I'll find a way to break off the engagement with Dai Mubai. The one I like is someone else..."
