She would rather this male Soul Master be Boss Li Haiyun.
Zhu Zhuqing felt the same way now.
If the Mission Card really required her to get intimate with a male Soul Master, she hoped that male Soul Master would be Boss Li Haiyun!
"Looks like Zhuqing is starting to accept and like Boss Li!" A sly glint flashed in Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes as she thought to herself.
A moment later.
Zhu Zhuqing held the Mission Card in her left hand and sent a thread of Soul Power into it with her right.
In an instant.
Several lines of black writing appeared on the Mission Card.
Quest Level: [Black Grade]
Quest Content: [With the help of your best friend Ning Rongrong, overcome your emotional hurdle with Dai Mubai, then beat him up. You must beat him for no less than fifty breaths!]
Quest Nature: [Only you and your best friend Rongrong may know]
Quest Reward: [Random Black Grade reward]
Precautions: [None]
"Good grief, Zhu Zhuqing really is the favored child of fortune. She's received another Black Grade Quest!"
Li Haiyun was slightly taken aback when the quest notification sounded in his mind.
At the same time.
Li Haiyun noticed the quest's contents and couldn't help exclaiming, "Good grief!"
The quest called for Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong to join forces, defeat Dai Mubai, and beat him up.
Dai Mubai's cultivation was a whole major realm above the two girls'. He was a Level 37 Battle Soul Elder.
However.
With Zhu Zhuqing having fused with two Spirit Bones, and Ning Rongrong wielding the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the two of them could still defeat Dai Mubai together.
"But can Zhu Zhuqing get past this hurdle in her heart and beat up her fiancé, Dai Mubai?"
Li Haiyun thought to himself. He immediately saw the crux of the quest.
After all.
In the original story, Zhu Zhuqing had disliked Dai Mubai at first.
But as they spent more time together, they grew closer and closer, eventually becoming a couple!
Defeating Dai Mubai wouldn't be difficult. What was difficult was for Zhu Zhuqing to get past this hurdle!
Once she did, it would mean that she and Dai Mubai would have nothing more to do with each other.
They might even become mortal enemies, locked in opposition for the rest of their lives!
"This quest is actually asking me to defeat Dai Mubai and beat him up...!"
Staring at the Mission Card in her hand, Zhu Zhuqing froze, at a loss.
Although she was always saying that Dai Mubai was a womanizer and that she didn't like him.
She said it because she was frustrated with him, and deep down, she still hoped that one day he would change for the better and become an outstanding person.
After all, she was already engaged to him.
Her parents' orders and the matchmaker's word...!
But now, if she resolved to complete this quest, it would mean completely breaking with Dai Mubai and becoming his enemy.
Zhu Zhuqing had never considered the matter before. When it suddenly came up, she felt lost.
Ning Rongrong, standing nearby, immediately sensed that something was off. She hurried over, wrapped an arm around Zhuqing's slender arm, and asked gently, "Zhuqing, what's wrong? You look a little off. Did you get some bizarre quest?"
Ning Rongrong thought Zhu Zhuqing had simply received some embarrassing, bizarre quest.
"Rongrong, only you and I can know what the quest says." Zhu Zhuqing handed her the Mission Card and said, "See for yourself!"
Ning Rongrong took the Mission Card and read it carefully. Her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.
Ning Rongrong had imagined all sorts of quest contents.
But this Black Grade Quest was one she had never expected.
"Wonderful! This quest is amazing!" Ning Rongrong immediately broke into a radiant smile and laughed.
She had long been fed up with that irritable tiger, Dai Mubai!
She had even suggested that Tang San use a Hidden Weapon to assassinate Dai Mubai.
This was perfect. They could beat Dai Mubai up and complete a Black Grade Quest, earning a generous Black Grade reward.
What a thrill!
It was practically a pie falling from the heavens!
Ning Rongrong was overjoyed. Her smile was brighter than a flower in full bloom.
"Rongrong, you..."
Seeing how happy Ning Rongrong looked, Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback and didn't know what to say.
Seeing Ning Rongrong laughing so happily, Li Haiyun immediately picked up on some important information.
Chapter 22: Rongrong and Zhuqing Burst into Laughter
"Looks like Ning Rongrong's relationship with Dai Mubai is really bad!"
"No wonder the little girl was over the moon when she saw Zhu Zhuqing's Black Grade Quest!"
Li Haiyun thought to himself.
Ning Rongrong's smile was infectious.
Seeing it, Li Haiyun, who knew the whole story, felt like joining in and laughing out loud.
Noticing that Zhu Zhuqing didn't look very happy.
Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "Oh, Zhuqing, I'm here! What are you worried about? If we work together, we can definitely complete this quest perfectly."
She thought Zhu Zhuqing was unhappy because she was worried they couldn't defeat Dai Mubai, so she quickly reassured her.
"That's right, Zhuqing!" Li Haiyun stepped in to help. "I don't know what your quest is, but don't look so troubled. Cheer up and stand tall. I'm sure Rongrong will help you complete it properly."
Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, Zhuqing. We can definitely complete this quest perfectly and get the reward."
Seeing how happy Ning Rongrong was.
Zhu Zhuqing felt she couldn't spoil the mood, so she nodded in agreement. "You're right, Rongrong! If we join forces, we can definitely complete the quest!"
Truthfully, Zhu Zhuqing had started to feel some dislike for Dai Mubai, too.
If it weren't for "her parents' orders and the matchmaker's word," along with the shackles of that engagement, Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't have given Dai Mubai the time of day.
Now, even the Black Grade Quest seemed intent on making her sever ties with Dai Mubai.
Zhu Zhuqing was already beginning to accept this reality.
"Without Dai Mubai, I can rely on my own strength to escape the Zhu Family and live well...!"
"What's more, I still have my dear friend Rongrong, who truly loves me and is willing to do so much for me!"
Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself.
On closer thought, her expression returned to normal. She no longer looked gloomy, as if there were a knot in her heart.
"Zhuqing, you really are so lucky. You're a favored daughter of fortune!"
"Next, keep using your Mission Cards and accepting quests. Let's see what kind of quests you can get!"
Ning Rongrong said happily.
"Okay, I'll accept another quest!" Zhu Zhuqing said, giving a slight nod.
A moment later.
Zhu Zhuqing took out the last Mission Card she had and forcefully sent a thread of Soul Power into it.
In an instant.
Several lines of black writing appeared on the Mission Card!
Another Black Grade Quest!
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes trembled, and her breathing grew a little rapid.
Quest Level: [Black Grade]
Quest Content: [After completing the "Defeat Dai Mubai" quest, swear upon your own Martial Soul, the Hell Spirit Cat, that you will be Dai Mubai's enemy for the rest of your life. You must not break this oath. Otherwise, your Martial Soul will shatter, your cultivation will be completely lost, and you will wish you were dead!]
Quest Nature: [Only you and your best friend Rongrong may know!]
Quest Reward: [Ten bottles of Soul Elder-grade Experience Water and ten bottles of Soul Ancestor-grade Experience Water!]
Precautions: [Each bottle of Soul Elder-grade Experience Water increases cultivation by one level and may only be consumed by Soul Masters at Levels 31–39; each bottle of Soul Ancestor-grade Experience Water increases cultivation by one level and may only be consumed by Soul Masters at Levels 41–49!]
Looking at the quest contents.
"Another quest involving Dai Mubai!" Zhu Zhuqing was dumbstruck.
She looked at the rewards listed on the Mission Card.
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes lit up. Her body tensed with excitement, and she thought, "The Experience Water from this Black Grade Quest is enough to raise my cultivation by twenty whole levels!"
If she could complete this quest, Zhu Zhuqing would surpass her older sister, Zhu Yun, in no time.
She would even surpass Dai Mubai's older brother, Dai Weisi!
Zhu Zhuqing was sorely tempted by this reward.
Then.
Zhu Zhuqing thought of something, and a look of resolve flashed through her beautiful eyes.
"Looks like even Heaven wants me to leave Dai Mubai. Otherwise, I wouldn't have received two Black Grade Quests in a row..."
"If I stay with Dai Mubai, I'll be unhappy. I'll not only have to worry about the family marriage arrangement, but also the little vixens around him..."
"But if I become Dai Mubai's enemy, I can get generous rewards and become a powerful Soul Master much faster!"
"Then, my fate will be in my own hands, and no one will be able to interfere with my life again...!"
"Dai Mubai, it seems there really is no future for us. It's Heaven's will."
"I'll complete this quest!"
Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself, her beautiful eyes full of determination.
At that moment, she had made her choice and knew what she had to do.
Beside her, Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "Zhuqing, what does your quest say this time?"
"Rongrong, my quest can only be known to you and me again!" Zhu Zhuqing said gently. "So you'll have to read it yourself!"
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing handed Ning Rongrong the Mission Card.
"Really? Another quest only the two of us can know about! I have a feeling it'll be a good one!"
Ning Rongrong wore a radiant smile as she spoke and took the Mission Card.
She took one look.
Ning Rongrong:!!!
"Hahaha!"
"Ha ha ha!" Ning Rongrong burst into laughter, her beautiful eyes shining. "This is another great quest!"
"Zhuqing, you're amazing! How do you keep getting such good quests?"
"I'm so happy, I'm really so happy!!"
"This is even better than my Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda turning into the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda!!"
