Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sudden realization; she hadn't even noticed such a crucial sentence.
Her mood calmed down instantly.
"Oh, oh, Rongrong, I know, I wasn't overthinking...!" Zhu Zhuqing said.
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at her.
And she called that not overthinking?
Silly Zhuqing, her thoughts were written all over her face!
Then, Zhu Zhuqing asked softly, "Boss Li, what three things do you need me to promise you?"
Li Haiyun pondered for a long moment before replying gently, "I haven't decided what those three things are yet. I'll tell you once I've thought them through."
"As long as you agree, I can give you this spirit bone first!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and asked, "Boss Li, when do you think you'll be able to decide on these three things?"
"It could be tonight, it could be tomorrow night, or it could be some night countless years from now," Li Haiyun shrugged and said. "Who can say for sure! I'll tell you when I think of them, no rush."
Why is it always at night? Ning Rongrong frowned slightly to the side, thinking to herself, though she didn't ask it aloud.
After hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing gently agreed, "As long as it doesn't violate my original intentions and principles, I can promise to complete three things for you...!"
"Mm, good. Zhuqing, this spirit bone is yours!" Li Haiyun said generously.
As he spoke, he made a 'handing over' motion.
That crimson, sixty-thousand-year spirit bone floated directly in front of Zhu Zhuqing's proud chest.
He just gave it to her, clean and simple?
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, barely able to believe it.
Looking at that rare spirit bone, many of the bystanders felt the urge to 'snatch' it.
But they only dared to imagine it; none dared to actually make a move.
"Zhuqing, hurry and take it!!" Ning Rongrong urged excitedly from the side.
"Boss Li, thank you!" Zhu Zhuqing snapped back to reality and said gratefully.
She then made a swift grab, pulling the sixty-thousand-year spirit bone floating before her chest into her arms, cradling it like a treasure.
With this, she now possessed both the Nether Civet Wind-Chasing Left Leg Bone and the Nether Spirit Cat Wind-Chasing Right Leg Bone!
Zhu Zhuqing was incredibly excited and thrilled, as she had obtained two powerful spirit bones that were perfectly compatible with her martial soul.
At the same time, she was deeply moved, feeling that she had met two of the most important benefactors in her life: Ning Rongrong and Li Haiyun!
Next, Zhu Zhuqing calmed her inner emotions, her gaze and tone firm as she said, "Boss Li, please rest assured. Whenever you decide on the tasks you want me to do, just tell me, and I will complete them properly. I will never go back on my word!"
"Mm, Zhuqing, I believe you will certainly keep your word," Li Haiyun nodded and said gently.
Li Haiyun actually had his own thoughts regarding Zhu Zhuqing.
At her age, she was already capable of helping him accomplish many things he couldn't do himself.
But Li Haiyun valued emotional connection more.
If Zhu Zhuqing had no feelings for him, even if Li Haiyun used force to possess her, it would only be a cold body, with an expression that was icy and dull.
What difference would that be from heating up a piece of pork?
A twisted melon is not sweet; a forced abalone is not fresh.
That was not what Li Haiyun wanted!
Therefore, Li Haiyun gave the spirit bone to Zhu Zhuqing now to leave a good impression and build a bond of goodwill.
In the future, if the opportunity arose, Li Haiyun would have Zhu Zhuqing earnestly help him complete those three tasks!
As for what would happen if Zhu Zhuqing took the spirit bone and ran, failing to fulfill her promise?
Li Haiyun wasn't worried about that in the slightest.
Having read the original work, Li Haiyun knew that Zhu Zhuqing's character was impeccable; her word was worth its weight in gold, and she was as reliable as a mountain!
Besides, did she even dare to break her promise?
With Li Haiyun's strength, he believed that while Zhu Zhuqing might escape for a moment, she could not escape for a lifetime.
As long as he was willing, he could take back what belonged to him at any time!
This was confidence.
Now.
Li Haiyun, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing had reached a mutually beneficial situation.
Next.
Li Haiyun said with concern, "Zhuqing, why don't you go into the side room and fuse these two spirit bones? I'm worried that once you leave the shop, someone might harbor ill intentions and covet your spirit bones."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing thought it over seriously and decided it was a viable plan.
The fact that she possessed spirit bones was clearly impossible to hide.
No matter where she went, she would be coveted.
But if she fused them now, it would be a different story!
At least she would truly possess these two Nether Civet Wind-Chasing Spirit Bones.
Furthermore, she would gain greater strength to resist those greedy spirit masters who lusted after her spirit bones.
If they wanted to obtain her spirit bones.
Then, she was sorry, but they would have to step over her corpse and kill her to strip the bones!
Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, shared the same thought.
She grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful, slender arm and said, "Zhuqing, just fuse the spirit bones here to avoid any complications!"
"Rongrong, you're right; that is exactly what I intended," Zhu Zhuqing said, nodding her head gently.
She then looked at Li Haiyun and said softly, "If you don't mind, Boss Li, I will fuse the spirit bones here...!"
"I don't mind at all!" Li Haiyun said gently. "Go to the side room to fuse them; there's no one there, and Rongrong can stand guard for you."
"Besides, if you encounter any trouble, I will step in to help you."
As he spoke, Li Haiyun pointed to a closed sandalwood door in the corner of the shop, which led to a space with its own unique atmosphere.
"Mm, alright. Thank you!" Zhu Zhuqing said gratefully.
Immediately.
Li Haiyun led Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to the side room, letting them fuse the spirit bones on their own.
In the shop, there were too many eyes; if someone were to interfere with Zhu Zhuqing's fusion at a critical moment, that would be disastrous.
The side room was quieter, allowing her to better fuse these two Nether Civet leg spirit bones.
After showing them the way and giving instructions, Li Haiyun returned to the shop and lay back down on his rocking chair.
Time passed quickly.
Perhaps it was because these two spirit bones were inherently compatible with Zhu Zhuqing's Nether Civet martial soul.
Very soon.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong emerged from the side room, both looking imposing and spirited.
"This..."
ps: Good night, everyone! Good afternoon! Good morning! Wishing you all a happy weekend! Please support me!
Chapter 21: Defeating and Beating Up Dai Mubai
As the two beautiful sisters, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, walked out.
The gazes of the onlookers sharpened, their expressions turning to awe.
"I can feel that the cultivation aura on this little sister is even more powerful than before; she has successfully fused the two spirit bones!"
"At such a young age, to have fused two powerful spirit bones—this young girl named Zhu Zhuqing has already surpassed ninety-nine percent of the spirit masters on the entire continent!"
"I really envy her; at the very starting line, she is already so far ahead of spirit masters of the same level!"
"Actually, as long as you go and buy a quest card, perhaps you could also possess spirit bones!!"
"That's right, as long as you have the money to buy a quest card and complete the quest, you can not only get spirit bones but also potentially obtain other heaven-defying treasures!"
"..."
The onlookers around them were engaged in heated discussion.
Some marveled at Zhu Zhuqing's good fortune, while others voiced their own desire to obtain quest cards.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Li Haiyun and said softly, "Boss Li, thank you; I have perfectly fused the two spirit bones!"
Before coming to the Quest Card Shop.
She hadn't believed that there were any good men in the world, thinking all men were the same—all of a bad character.
She had held deep skepticism regarding the "best Boss Li in the world" that Ning Rongrong had mentioned.
But now.
Zhu Zhuqing had completely abandoned her prejudices against Li Haiyun, agreeing with Ning Rongrong that he was truly the best Boss Li in the entire world.
"Hehe, not only did Zhuqing perfectly fuse with two Nether Spirit Cat Wind-Chasing Leg Bones, but she even leveled up!"
Ning Rongrong, standing beside her, said with a face full of joyful smiles.
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong felt a touch of envy toward Zhu Zhuqing.
Although her own Seven Treasures Glazed Sect had evolved into the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda and her soul power had reached level thirty.
Ning Rongrong believed that Zhu Zhuqing, having obtained two precious soul bones, would soon catch up to her pace!
However, this was her best friend and sister, someone with whom she had braved life and death.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing become outstanding made Ning Rongrong feel incredibly happy!
Li Haiyun smiled and offered his gentle congratulations: "Congratulations, congratulations!"
After the congratulations.
"Zhuqing, take out the remaining two Mission Cards and accept the missions as well!"
Ning Rongrong couldn't wait for Zhu Zhuqing to continue using the Mission Cards to accept missions.
"Mm, alright, Rongrong." Zhu Zhuqing nodded her head gently and replied in a soft voice.
Ever since she completed a mission and obtained a thirty-thousand-year cultivation Nether Spirit Cat Wind-Chasing Leg Bone, she had become a firm believer in the Mission Cards.
Immediately.
Zhu Zhuqing took out a Mission Card.
Before accepting the mission, Zhu Zhuqing specifically moved a few steps forward, getting closer to Li Haiyun.
It was just as Ning Rongrong had said now.
If the mission required her to embrace the nearest male soul master and interlock fingers with him in order to be completed.
