Rewards Arrive, Tiger Talisman Version Zhu Zhuqing

As his finger descended, the light screen flashed with a dazzling brilliance.

Immediately following, the contents emerged...

[Zhu Zhuqing Exclusive Reward Pack opened, obtaining the following items:]

[1. Zhu Zhuqing Exclusive Talisman: Tiger Talisman.]

[2. God-Given Soul Ring (System Version) × 1.]

[3. Storage Soul Tool Ring (Infinite Space Version) × 1.]

[4. Mysterious Heaven Infinite Skill (Dual Cultivation Version).]

Each reward was clearly reflected in his eyes, and upon seeing the contents, Lin Yan gasped in surprise.

"Whoa~"

"Are the rewards really this generous?"

Although he could not use the twelve talismans provided by the system, the other rewards were all top-tier.

A soul ring, a storage ring, and a cultivation technique... even if it was for dual cultivation, it sounded far more formidable than Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Shifting his gaze downward, Lin Yan saw a line of small text beneath the reward list.

[Tiger Talisman: Passive - The noble White Tiger regulates yin and yang; Active - Splits the user into two entities of good and evil.]

"What a pity, she has already left."

"Otherwise, I could have experienced double the pleasure."

The Tiger Talisman's abilities were more or less the same; even in the Douluo world, it possessed no offensive capabilities and could not be considered a significant upgrade for Zhu Zhuqing.

However, regarding the point about balancing yin and yang... Lin Yan was somewhat confused.

Could it balance the soul power and various attributes within one's body? Or perhaps accelerate the speed of soul power cultivation?

Since he could not utilize the talisman's abilities, these conjectures remained unknown; everything would have to wait until he saw Zhu Zhuqing again.

Lin Yan stopped dwelling on it and turned his attention to the other rewards.

The God-Given Soul Ring went without saying—it was a top-notch treasure. It was a pity there was only one this time; if only he could be given a few more next time.

Then there was the storage soul tool ring.

Lin Yan lightly touched the light screen, and a pitch-black ring suddenly appeared in his palm.

The entire ring was devoid of any other colors, and he could not sense any unusual aura from it; it looked plain and unadorned.

"It just so happens I don't have a storage soul tool to carry things yet."

Slipping the ring onto his finger, Lin Yan chuckled.

"As for this technique..."

"Ah, Mubai, I was forced into this, but for the sake of the system's rewards, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a little."

On the other side.

After Lin Yan's treatment, Zhu Zhuqing's physical state had returned to its initial peak. Although her gait was slightly strange, fortunately, there was nothing obviously abnormal.

Under the cover of night, she gently pushed open the door to the girls' dormitory.

"Zhuqing? You're finally back!"

As soon as she stepped into the room, Ning Rongrong's voice drifted over from the bed.

This was immediately followed by the young girl's slightly resentful tone.

"If you hadn't come back, Xiao Wu and I were planning to go to Lin Yan's place to look for you."

"Why were you gone so long?"

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her palms, reciting the excuse she had rehearsed countless times in her heart.

"Oh~ Lin Yan was cultivating when I went over this morning, so I went to stroll around Suotuo City."

"I only just returned to the academy..."

Ning Rongrong frowned slightly upon hearing this, but she did not ask too much, instead showing concern for something else.

"What about the leaves? Did you get them?"

"If you didn't get them, I'll go."

"I got them."

Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly took out a handful of Blue Silver Grass leaves infused with life-attribute soul power from her bosom. The moment Ning Rongrong saw them, she jumped off the bed and ran to Zhu Zhuqing's side.

Zhu Zhuqing took the opportunity to hand them over, keeping only two for herself.

Ning Rongrong beamed with joy.

"It's good that you got them, hehe."

Holding the grass leaves as if she had received her favorite toy, the delight on her face was undisguised.

Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk back to her own bed.

Just then, Ning Rongrong seemed to notice something amiss and let out a soft sound of suspicion.

"Huh? Why do you feel a bit different from when you left the dorm during the day?"

Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened, and she turned her head to the other side.

"W-what are you talking about~"

"No way!"

"Zhuqing, you're acting strange."

Ning Rongrong stepped forward, leaned in close to Zhu Zhuqing, and began to sniff her body with a twitching nose.

She felt that there was a scent on Zhu Zhuqing that didn't belong to her—a fragrance that was both ambiguous and intoxicating. She had never smelled it before, yet she instinctively wanted to identify it.

Afraid of being discovered, Zhu Zhuqing shyly pushed her away.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong turned to look at Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, don't you think Zhuqing looks different from when she went out today?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu poked her head out from her bed and began to look Zhu Zhuqing up and down.

Under the unbridled scrutiny of the two, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned beet red.

"Where are your stockings?"

Xiao Wu's words were shocking, hitting the nail on the head immediately.

In the past, Zhu Zhuqing wore stockings every day, claiming they reduced air resistance while running and allowed for explosive speed.

But now...

The two girls looked in unison at Zhu Zhuqing's shapely, beautiful legs, while Zhu Zhuqing silently gripped the corner of her quilt.

"I... I snagged them on a tree branch on the way, so I threw them away."

"Huh? You threw them away on the road?"

Ning Rongrong was shocked. Weren't those things worn under pants? How could she just toss them away like that on the street!

Realizing something was wrong, Zhu Zhuqing dove under her covers, turning her back to the two girls.

"No, it's just..."

"Anyway, I threw them away."

"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep. You two can talk."

With that, she covered herself completely with the quilt, clearly using the action to shut down any further questions.

Ning Rongrong walked suspiciously to Xiao Wu's bedside.

"Zhuqing is so weird today~"

As she spoke, she divided the grass leaves in her hand into two portions and handed one to Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, do you think if Lin Yan knew we were using his grass leaves for this kind of thing..."

"Don't talk nonsense, how could he possibly find out?" Xiao Wu hurriedly hid the grass leaves under her pillow and continued to explain, "How can you call them his grass leaves? It's the credit of the life-attribute soul power inside them."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong chuckled, thinking Xiao Wu made a lot of sense.

"You really know your stuff."

After saying that, Ning Rongrong trotted back to her own bed and crawled under the covers.

It was already evening, and for those who didn't stay up late, it was time to sleep. Just as Ning Rongrong was about to absorb the energy from the grass leaves, she seemed to remember something.

She looked toward Zhu Zhuqing's spot.

"Zhuqing, don't you want to try it?"

"You'll sleep much better after trying it once."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak or react at all. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu exchanged glances and tentatively called out to her twice.

"Zhuqing?"

The other girl still didn't respond; instead, she let out a faint snoring sound.

"She's asleep?"

Ning Rongrong looked puzzled, and Xiao Wu explained.

"Maybe she was just too tired from shopping."

Ning Rongrong pouted, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

"Seriously, she didn't even call us when she went shopping. I wanted to buy some new clothes too."

"Next time I'll make Lin Yan go with me, hmph~"
