Li Haiyun had no doubt that Zhu Zhuqing had spent the whole afternoon learning how to complete the "foot soak" quest!
Just then,
Li Haiyun suddenly felt another gentle pressure on his shoulders.
"Boss Li, close your eyes and relax. I'll give you a shoulder massage...!"
Ning Rongrong said, a little shyly.
She had acted first and asked later. Her small, pretty hands were already resting on Li Haiyun's sturdy shoulders, massaging them.
Ning Rongrong was giving it her all to help Zhu Zhuqing complete the Purple Grade "foot soak" quest.
"All right, Rongrong!" Li Haiyun said gently. Then he closed his eyes, settled in, and began to enjoy himself.
Zhu Zhuqing was massaging the soles of his feet as she soaked them, while Ning Rongrong massaged his shoulders.
At that moment, Li Haiyun felt like the happiest man in the whole world!
It felt amazing!!
Li Haiyun wished he could enjoy this kind of life every day.
However, the Purple Grade "foot soak" quest lasted only three days.
That meant Li Haiyun could enjoy it for just three nights.
A pang of reluctance welled up in his heart, along with a hint of indignation. "Why can't this quest last thirty years?"
Time passed bit by bit.
Before long, half an hour had gone by.
Li Haiyun's first health-nurturing medicinal herb foot soak was over.
Then Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong prepared another bucket of warm water to wash off the remaining medicinal solution. They dried his feet with a soft, fluffy towel.
When they were done,
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong brought out a pair of fluffy gray slippers for Li Haiyun to put on.
The fluffy slippers cost two Gold Soul Coins. They had been made by a renowned master craftsman, and the materials were extremely expensive.
The moment Li Haiyun slipped them on, they felt wonderful, as though he were standing on a soft cushion of sponge.
"All right, Boss Li. That's the end of tonight's Before-Bed Foot Soak!"
"How does it feel? Comfortable?"
Ning Rongrong asked with a playful smile.
Zhu Zhuqing stood beside her, looking over with a face full of curiosity and anticipation. She had put in a lot of effort tonight and hoped to hear his approval.
"Wonderful!" Li Haiyun said, giving a thumbs-up. "It's completely exceeded my expectations."
"I told you that 'Best' was the highest rating on the Mission Card. My rating for you is far more than just 'Best'!"
"Thank you both so much!"
Li Haiyun's sincere words made Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing very happy.
Their hard work had paid off. It had all been worth it.
"Hehe, Boss Li, there's more tomorrow!" Ning Rongrong said with a grin.
Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing added gently, "Boss Li, tomorrow we'll keep pampering you!"
"Mm, all right. I'm looking forward to it!" Li Haiyun replied warmly with a nod.
Then,
Li Haiyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong exchanged warm goodbyes.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong returned together to their luxurious hotel, the Shanhaijian Hotel in Suotuo City, to sleep and rest.
Li Haiyun went back to his own room and climbed into his own bed for a wonderful night's sleep.
With Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's warm company that day,
Li Haiyun felt truly happy. He lay down and soon drifted off to sleep.
Time flew by like a white horse flashing past a crack.
Three blissful days passed in the blink of an eye!
"..."
Chapter 34: Zhu Zhuqing Had Two Purple Soul Rings
This was the final night of Zhu Zhuqing's "foot soak" quest.
The sisters Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were nimble-fingered and worked in perfect harmony as they gave Boss Li Haiyun one last foot soak.
After three days of intensive practice, their foot-soaking and massage techniques had become increasingly skilled. They were truly excellent.
Half an hour passed.
The foot soak was over!
Li Haiyun felt as if he had ascended to the pinnacle of life. He savored the afterglow, reluctant for it to end.
At that moment,
Li Haiyun sat in a chair wearing his fluffy gray slippers, watching Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong tidy away the things they had used for the foot soak.
Before long, the two of them had finished cleaning up.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong walked over, their cheeks a little flushed.
Ning Rongrong's pretty, rosy face blossomed into a smile. "Boss Li, that was our last foot soak!"
"Please give Zhuqing and me a score for how we did!"
Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing's lovely face wore a smile that could make anyone's heart flutter. She asked gently, "Boss Li, how was it? Was it comfortable?"
"Please give us a fair rating. Thank you!"
Li Haiyun smiled warmly. "Zhuqing, Rongrong, I rate your performance on the quest 'Best'!"
"I told you before that 'Best' is the highest rating on the Mission Card, but my own standards go far beyond that!"
"I've seen how hard you two have worked!"
"I hope you get good quests from now on and become powerful Soul Masters who can stand on your own as soon as possible!"
Every word came straight from Li Haiyun's heart.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing thanked him for his well wishes.
This time,
Li Haiyun's rating was complete.
The Mission Card in Zhu Zhuqing's arms floated up into the air on its own.
At the same time,
"The Purple Grade 'Before-Bed Foot Soak' quest is complete. Rating: 'Best.' Reward: increase the First Soul Ring's age by 800 years!"
A voice rang in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
A voice also rang in Boss Li Haiyun's mind. "Zhu Zhuqing has completed a Purple Grade quest. Master has triggered a triple reward and received a 'First Soul Ring Age Increase Card' that raises it by 2,400 years. Send a wisp of Soul Power into the card to use it!"
Next,
The Mission Card floating in midair shone with a burst of purple light, then transformed into a stream of purple energy.
Having already experienced an increase in her Soul Ring's age once before,
Zhu Zhuqing naturally released her Martial Soul, the Hell Spirit Cat.
The Hell Spirit Cat looked incredibly agile, with lively eyes and fearsome claws.
After Zhu Zhuqing's body had fused with two Hell Spirit Cat Wind-Chasing Leg Bones,
Her Martial Soul looked even more ferocious. A dangerously powerful aura radiated from it, intimidating everything around her!
A Yellow Soul Ring and a Purple Soul Ring revolved around Zhu Zhuqing, rising and falling in turn.
Then,
The first Yellow Soul Ring lit up and began absorbing the energy from the Purple Grade Mission Card in the air.
As it absorbed the energy, it slowly changed from a hundred-year Yellow Soul Ring to a thousand-year Purple Soul Ring!
"Wonderful! Zhuqing's about to have two thousand-year Purple Soul Rings!"
"This is going to scare Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Flender, and all those guys to death!"
Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes shone brightly as she clenched her small fist, her heart brimming with excitement.
Time raced by.
Before long, the purple energy had completely dissipated.
Zhu Zhuqing's first Soul Ring had turned a deep, ripe purple!
At the same time, her aura grew even more powerful!
After absorbing the reward,
Zhu Zhuqing first looked at Boss Li Haiyun with gratitude and said sincerely, "Boss Li, thank you! Because of you, I've become stronger again!"
"Hehe, there's no need to thank me. You earned it!" Li Haiyun said with a smile.
"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly.
Beside them, Ning Rongrong stepped forward and threw her arms around Zhu Zhuqing, exclaiming, "Zhuqing, that's amazing!"
"You have two thousand-year Purple Soul Rings now!"
"You're definitely the strongest Soul Grandmaster on the whole continent!"
"Tang San and Xiao Wu can't compare to you!!"
Her voice rang with excitement. Every word came straight from her heart.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded firmly. "I really do feel full of strength now. I could beat any Soul Grandmaster at the same level!"
"I could even challenge a Soul Elder in the thirties despite the difference in rank!"
"Zhuqing, I believe you. You can definitely beat a Soul Elder in the thirties despite the difference in rank!" Ning Rongrong said with conviction.
To Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, the Soul Elder in the thirties they meant was Dai Mubai.
"By the way, Rongrong," Zhu Zhuqing continued, "I feel like I've already touched the threshold of Level 30! I'm sure I'll reach Level 30 before long!"
"Then, as soon as I get a suitable Soul Ring, I'll become a Soul Elder!"
"Haha!!" Ning Rongrong laughed excitedly at that. "That's wonderful!"
"When the time comes, I'll have Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa help us hunt a suitable Soul Ring!"
"Mm, thank you~" Zhu Zhuqing said softly.
Although Ning Rongrong had an Experience Card for the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul's Titled Douluo cultivation level,
It could only last for two hours.
If a powerful Titled Douluo stepped in to help them hunt a Soul Beast, the process would obviously go more smoothly!
After that,
The two sisters chatted for a little while longer in front of Boss Li Haiyun.
Then Ning Rongrong took a Mission Card out of her Storage Soul Tool belt.
She had bought this new Mission Card especially for Zhu Zhuqing.
Ning Rongrong didn't have many Gold Soul Coins left now.
After buying the Mission Card, she had only a little over twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins remaining!
Ning Rongrong had already made up her mind: once they had completed most of their current quests, she would take Zhu Zhuqing back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
