The outfit was also embroidered with delicate, milky-white patterns of clouds, waves, carrots, and more.
"Not bad!" Li Haiyun thought.
Dressed in the outfit, Li Haiyun walked out of the room.
Beneath the moonlight, his whole being seemed to glow. He truly looked like an immortal banished from heaven.
"Boss Li, you look so good in this outfit! It fits you perfectly, and you look so handsome!" Ning Rongrong praised without holding back.
Then she praised Xiao Wu as well. "Xiao Wu, you're so skillful!"
Zhu Zhuqing also complimented Li Haiyun. "Boss Li, this outfit suits you perfectly. It really does look good! Xiao Wu, your handiwork is wonderful!"
Xiao Wu blushed a little at the praise. She gently touched her rabbit-ear hair clip and said shyly, "Rongrong, Zhuqing, thank you for the compliments! I couldn't have done it without your help."
"Xiao Wu, you really are skilled!" Li Haiyun nodded in praise.
Then he added, "I really like this outfit. Thank you, Xiao Wu."
"I'm giving both of the little quests I assigned you a 'Best' rating!"
"Mm-hmm!" Xiao Wu nodded gently.
As soon as he finished speaking,
a sound announcing the quest's completion rang in Xiao Wu's mind.
"Congratulations on completing the Black Grade Quest with care and earning a 'Best' rating from Boss Li Haiyun."
"Reward: 5 Purple-Grade Instant Completion Cards!"
A reward announcement sounded in Li Haiyun's mind at the same time.
He had triggered a 1x reward and received 5 Purple-Grade Instant Completion Cards.
Just then,
the Black-Grade Mission Card in Xiao Wu's arms floated up into the air by itself, shining with an invisible black light.
The dense black glow quickly faded, revealing five purple cards.
"Are these my rewards?"
Xiao Wu was thrilled. She reached out, grabbed the five Purple-Grade Mission Cards, and held them in her hand.
Then she took two of them and handed them to Rongrong.
"Rongrong, these two completion cards are for you. Use them to instantly complete those two quests to hunt Soul Beasts!" Xiao Wu said.
Xiao Wu's wish to protect the Soul Beasts
had come up in conversations Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had with Li Haiyun over the past few days.
Li Haiyun knew about it and supported her.
"Mm, Xiao Wu. I understand," Ning Rongrong replied warmly as she took the completion cards.
Then,
Ning Rongrong announced, "I'm going to use them now!"
Li Haiyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu all watched her, curious to see what would happen.
Ning Rongrong held a Purple-Grade Instant Completion Card in her left hand and channeled a wisp of Soul Power into it with her right.
The purple card immediately shone with a dazzling light.
Ning Rongrong focused her thoughts and chose to instantly complete the Purple Grade Quest she had already accepted: "Hunt 20 thousand-year purple-grade plant-type Soul Beasts."
In an instant,
a quest completion and reward notification rang in Ning Rongrong's mind.
p.s. Good night, good afternoon, and good morning, everyone! Wishing you happiness and smooth sailing on this new day! Please show your support!
p.s. Thanks for all the requests for more chapters and for your feedback. I'll keep writing more. Thanks for the support—please keep supporting me!
p.s. These three chapters are sort of filling in a plot hole. Quite a few readers didn't like Ning Rongrong hunting Soul Beasts. When I was writing it, I thought of how several protagonists in other novels had gone on killing sprees. I didn't expect some readers to worry about the Soul Beasts going extinct...!
p.s. What do you think of the scene where Zhao Wuji goes to Spirit City to deliver a letter? If you have any good ideas, quests, or anything you're interested in, feel free to leave a comment! Please request more chapters and keep reading!
"Congratulations on successfully using a Purple-Grade Instant Completion Card!"
"Purple Grade Quest 'Hunt 20 thousand-year purple-grade plant-type Soul Beasts' completed!!"
"Quest reward: Increase the cultivation age of the Second Soul Ring by 500 years!"
As the announcement sounded,
the Purple-Grade Mission Card in Ning Rongrong's arms floated out on its own.
It transformed in midair into a cloud of purple, shimmering energy.
At the same time,
Ning Rongrong involuntarily released her Martial Soul, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. The two Yellow Soul Rings around her slowly undulated.
The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda radiated brilliant light, its noble air overwhelming.
"What a noble Martial Soul!" Xiao Wu thought, watching it up close in surprise.
"The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda is so beautiful!" Zhu Zhuqing was also moved.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul was already one of the continent's top support-type Martial Souls. Wherever its users went, they were respected and admired.
The appearance of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda made people feel even more reverence.
At that moment,
all the purple, shimmering energy from the Purple-Grade Mission Card flowed into Ning Rongrong's Second Soul Ring!
The ring, which had originally been Yellow, slowly turned Purple after its cultivation age increased by five hundred years.
After a while,
Ning Rongrong's Second Soul Ring had completely turned into a thousand-year Purple Soul Ring, as purple as a fully ripened sweet potato!
"My Second Soul Ring has turned into a thousand-year Purple Soul Ring!" Ning Rongrong was elated, joy lighting up her beautiful face.
Although Ning Rongrong now had one fewer thousand-year Purple Soul Ring than Zhu Zhuqing, she was already very satisfied.
For a support-type Soul Master, having a Second Soul Ring that surpassed its limit and reached the thousand-year Purple grade
was already an incredible achievement.
Ning Rongrong believed that if she did more quests and earned more rewards,
and added to that her Experience Card for the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul at Titled Douluo cultivation,
she would be able to throw her weight around all over the Douluo Continent.
She could even sit on whoever she disliked and take a dump on their head, and they'd still have to praise her healthy digestion.
Just thinking about it filled Ning Rongrong with excitement!
Then,
after Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing celebrated briefly,
Ning Rongrong followed the same procedure and used the second Purple-Grade Instant Completion Card, choosing to complete the White Grade Quest to "Hunt 20 ten-year white-grade Soul Beasts."
In an instant,
a reward notification rang in Ning Rongrong's mind.
Since this was only a White Grade Quest,
Ning Rongrong received only the White Grade reward of "increasing the cultivation age of the First Soul Ring by 10 years."
Her First Soul Ring did not change at all; it remained a hundred-year Yellow Soul Ring.
"Xiao Wu, I've completed both quests!" Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu and said. "Thank you for the completion cards. They saved me so much time."
"No, Rongrong. I should be thanking you!" Xiao Wu said earnestly. "You brought me to buy Mission Cards, and I got the Instant Completion Cards. That's what saved those forty Soul Beasts. Thank you!"
"Xiao Wu, you're so kind!" Ning Rongrong smiled and touched Xiao Wu's rabbit-ear hair clip.
Nearby, Zhu Zhuqing listened to the two of them thank each other, then smiled brightly. She stepped forward and took both their hands. "We're sisters. There's no need to distinguish between us. Helping each other is only natural!"
"That's right, Zhuqing's right!" Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement.
"Mm! We're sisters, and we help each other!" Xiao Wu felt warmth bloom in her heart.
After chatting for a little while, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu said goodbye to Li Haiyun.
It was already late.
They had to return to Shanhaijian Hotel to rest.
Li Haiyun watched the three sisters leave, then returned to his own home in a good mood to rest.
It was a beautiful night. Li Haiyun slept soundly, and so did Ning Rongrong and her sisters.
Early the next morning,
Li Haiyun waited for new customers in his shop as usual.
Just then,
a sound announcing Solio's quest completion rang in his mind.
"Solio completed the Purple Grade Quest 'Do not speak for ten days.'"
"Congratulations, Master. You triggered a 1x reward and received: 50% increase to your looks!"
The reward notification came without warning.
Before Li Haiyun could react, the reward had already been granted automatically.
After it was granted, Li Haiyun felt a strange itch in his face and body.
Fortunately, the sensation lasted only a short while before it faded.
Once it was over,
"I feel like I've gotten more handsome..."
For some reason, Li Haiyun felt a surge of confidence in his appearance.
Li Haiyun was already handsome, with smooth skin better than many girls'; his physique was also excellent, better than that of many Soul Masters who worked out specifically to build muscle.
With such a good foundation, the 50% increase made him even more handsome.
At the same time,
Li Haiyun noticed that many Passersby outside the shop kept glancing at him, as if they were staring at a precious jade.
"These men and women keep staring at me. It's a little unsettling!" Li Haiyun thought, frowning slightly.
Most of those Passersby were ugly as sin, and they were all fairly old.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have so much free time to keep hanging around outside his shop.
Being stared at by them felt like a fairy peach with flies buzzing around it...
"Being handsome can be a nuisance sometimes. Looks like boys need to protect themselves when they go out!" Li Haiyun mused.
Time passed.
About an hour and a half later,
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu arrived together.
However, they hadn't come to buy Mission Cards. They had come to say goodbye.
"Hey, Boss Li. Your skin looks great today, and you seem even more handsome!"
Ning Rongrong couldn't help taking another look at Li Haiyun and praised him without holding back.
"Really?" Li Haiyun blinked, looking completely harmless.
"Really!" Xiao Wu nodded beside her, agreeing. "Rongrong's right. Boss Li, you really do look even more handsome!"
"Boss Li, you should trust a woman's intuition! I think you look more handsome too!" Zhu Zhuqing added.
