Douluo: Selling Ning Rongrong Mission Card, She Dropped Out Chapter 49

The bystanders nearby listened to the three sisters' conversation and couldn't help but agree that they were right.

"Hehe." Li Haiyun smiled gently, saying nothing more.

When others praise you, maintaining a humble attitude is a sign of mutual respect.

You certainly couldn't respond to someone calling you handsome with, "Ah, yes, yes, you have such a good eye," or something similar; that would be far too off-putting.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ning Rongrong took out an exquisite box and handed it to Li Haiyun.

She said softly, "Boss Li, we are leaving Suotuo City today for a long journey, and it might be quite a while before we return."

"Before we head out, we wanted to come and say goodbye."

"Since we're parting ways, the three of us decided to give you a gift."

"The gift is inside this box!"

Li Haiyun listened to Ning Rongrong while glancing at the box in her hands.

It was a delicately crafted sandalwood box, tightly bound with a pink ribbon tied into a bow, emitting a faint, pleasant fragrance.

"Boss Li, this gift was carefully chosen by the three of us, so you absolutely must accept it!" Xiao Wu said.

Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside her, also nodded and added, "It's just a small token of our appreciation. There's a letter inside with what we wanted to say, so please, Boss Li, you must accept it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Haiyun felt a stir in his heart.

He hadn't expected that as Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu prepared to leave, they would still be thinking of giving him a gift.

They truly were kind-hearted children.

As someone who knew the contents of the quests, Li Haiyun knew this wasn't them delivering a gift to complete a task, but a genuine gesture.

In fact, this was truly a farewell gift from the three sisters.

Because to them, Boss Li was incredibly gentle and handsome, a wonderful big brother, and the best boss in the whole world!

All three of them—Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu—had gained significant, tangible benefits from Li Haiyun.

They felt deep gratitude in their hearts.

Moreover, what better way to build a relationship with such a mysterious and powerful figure as Boss Li?

Getting on good terms with a big shot was the most natural thing in the world.

However, the feelings Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu held for Li Haiyun were far more sincere.

Compared to calculated flattery or deliberate bootlicking, Li Haiyun preferred this kind of genuine sentiment.

"Thank you all, I will accept this gift!" Li Haiyun smiled slightly, expressing his gratitude as he took the exquisite box.

"Boss Li, you can only open it after we've left, okay?" Ning Rongrong said with a gentle smile.

Li Haiyun nodded and replied, "Alright, I understand!"

Immediately after, Li Haiyun bid farewell to the three sisters.

Once they had parted ways, Boss Li remained inside the Quest Card Shop.

The three sisters returned to the Shanhaijian Hotel to collect their packed luggage, boarded a carriage they had prepared in advance, and set off toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong now had only about seven hundred and eighty Gold Soul Coins left. Since she no longer had enough to purchase more quest cards, staying in Suotuo City would be a waste of time.

She was returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to share the good news of her increased strength and the existence of the Quest Card Shop with her father, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Grandpa, and Sword Grandpa.

As Ning Rongrong's best friend, Zhu Zhuqing was naturally inseparable from her, and she also needed to complete the Purple Grade Quest of delivering a letter to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As for Xiao Wu, she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had taken human form.

In the eyes of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, if she remained in Suotuo City, there was a high probability she would continue to be targeted by that powerful Soul Grandmaster from the Clear Sky Sect.

To protect Xiao Wu, they decided to bring her along!

Regarding Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had made careful arrangements.

They planned to settle Xiao Wu in a safe, high-end hotel near the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

They would let her stay there temporarily while waiting for further regrouping.

This was because Ning Rongrong was worried that if she brought Xiao Wu back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect too abruptly, her father, Ning Fengzhi, along with Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa, might not be able to resist the temptation and would kill Xiao Wu, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, on the spot—that would be disastrous!

The clever Ning Rongrong planned to return to the sect first to test the waters.

That way, it would be much safer.

Xiao Wu felt an immense sense of security regarding Ning Rongrong's arrangements and trusted her completely.

As for why Xiao Wu wasn't temporarily left at the Quest Card Shop, it was because they were all young girls around twelve years old, and neither relatives nor girlfriends of Boss Li.

It would be inconvenient for them to bother Boss Li.

Furthermore, for a little sister like Xiao Wu to be alone with Boss Li might cause mutual discomfort and disrupt his normal life.

After weighing the pros and cons, the best method was for Xiao Wu to stay at a high-end hotel near the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a few days while waiting to regroup.

And so it was.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, the three sisters, boarded a carriage and departed from Suotuo City.

This was the Douluo Continent, not Douluo Village.

It would still take them some time to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

On the other side, inside the Quest Card Shop, Li Haiyun continued to run his business as usual after putting away the gift box.

Today, as always, no one patronized the shop.

In the evening, after closing up the Quest Card Shop, Li Haiyun returned to his room.

With a sense of anticipation, he opened the gift box sent by the three sisters: Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu.

He untied the pink ribbon fashioned into a bow and opened the sandalwood box.

Li Haiyun was immediately greeted by a refreshing fragrance.

Inside the wooden box lay an exquisite red and blue sachet.

It's actually a sachet. Could it be that Rongrong, Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu embroidered this together? Li Haiyun thought to himself with a faint smile.

He picked up the delicate sachet and examined it closely.

It felt silky and soft to the touch, clearly made from high-quality fabric.

It was embroidered with many small patterns: clouds in the sky, waves of the sea, and even small carrots.

It was evident that Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu had put a lot of heart into it.

It's the same style as the new clothes Xiao Wu sewed for me yesterday! Li Haiyun mused.

After picking up the sachet, he found a letter underneath.

Li Haiyun set the sachet aside, opened the envelope, and began to read it carefully.

"Seeing these words is like seeing my face, Boss Li Haiyun..."

"..."

The letter was densely packed with beautiful handwriting, easily comparable to an eight-hundred-word essay.

Moreover, it was clear that the letter contained three distinct styles of handwriting.

Evidently, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu had each written down what they wanted to say.

After finishing it, Li Haiyun felt a touch of emotion.

The sachet was indeed a farewell gift they had embroidered together for him.

For the past three days, the three sisters had been at the Cloud Pavilion, learning sewing, embroidery, and other skills from the proprietress.

Having spent time learning these skills, they naturally didn't want to let them go to waste.

Thus, the three sisters collaborated to create this sachet as a gift.

"Thank you."

Li Haiyun whispered, offering his thanks.

At the same time, his mind drifted.

He recalled how in the original story, Shrek Academy traveled to Heaven Dou Academy, hoping to "borrow a chicken to lay eggs" and become exchange students.

Back then, it had taken Shrek Academy a full month to make the journey.

Now that Ning Rongrong and the others were returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Li Haiyun calculated that it would likely take them one or two months to return.

"I wish you all a safe journey!"

Li Haiyun whispered softly, offering his blessings.

Time flew by like a shuttle, fleeting as a white horse passing a crack in the wall.

The next morning.

Solio, the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion in Suotuo City, came to find Li Haiyun, brimming with excitement.

Yesterday, he had finally broken the seal of silence, completing the Purple Grade Quest: "Cannot speak for ten days."

Having increased his attractiveness by 50%, he felt much more confident and cheerful.

Although his appearance hadn't changed significantly, his chubby face still looked somewhat greasy.

However.

Compared to before, there were far fewer pimples on Solio's face, and his skin was not nearly as oily.

He was extremely satisfied with this Purple Grade Quest and the reward of increased attractiveness.

As for the 500-year Jade Phosphorus Snake Head Bone he had obtained previously.

Solio's father had adamantly refused to let him fuse with it.

This was because his father worried that if Solio fused with the Jade Phosphorus Snake Head Bone, the news would leak out.

If he were targeted by others, they might kill him just to take the bone.

Then he would lose his life!

After careful consideration, Solio felt this made sense, so he suppressed his desire to fuse with the spirit bone.

Now, he had come to the Quest Card Shop once again.

"Boss Li, good morning!"
