Douluo: Selling Ning Rongrong Mission Card, She Dropped Out of School Chapter 6

"I truly never expected that even the age of a spirit ring could be increased; this task card shop is simply incredible!"

"Indeed, indeed, I never imagined such a thing!"

"..."

Li Haiyun appeared much more composed regarding this, asking with gentle concern, "Hunting spirit beasts is dangerous, Rongrong. You must be mindful of your own safety when completing your tasks!"

"Mm-hmm, I will!" Ning Rongrong nodded.

Having made initial contact with Boss Li Haiyun, Ning Rongrong felt that this handsome and dashing proprietor was a decent man, not the sort of frivolous or greasy spirit master one often encountered.

He was nothing like Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others back at Shrek Academy who spent their days thinking about lewd matters!

In that case, interlocking fingers with Boss Li to complete the task isn't a loss at all!

Ning Rongrong thought to herself, and in an instant, she made up her mind.

Consequently, Ning Rongrong took two steps forward, closing the distance between her and Li Haiyun.

Watching the beauty approach and catching the fragrance emanating from her, Li Haiyun guessed that she was about to complete that secret task.

Sure enough.

With a blushing face, Ning Rongrong gazed at Li Haiyun with deep affection and said softly, "Boss Li, I have something I need to tell you!"

"What is it you wish to tell me?"

Li Haiyun asked gently.

The bystanders nearby watched the boss and the customer standing so close to one another, and they all felt the atmosphere shift, as if something was about to happen between the two!

"Extend your hand, and I will tell you!"

Ning Rongrong said softly, her cheeks flushed red.

"Very well!" Li Haiyun did not hesitate; he opened his large hand and reached it out.

Looking at the man's clean, broad palm, Ning Rongrong found it quite attractive, especially the long, fair fingers.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Rongrong's own beautiful hand reached out to meet his. Her fingers, as white and tender as scallion shoots, interlocked with his. She raised her beautiful eyes, meeting his gaze, which was as deep as a starry sea.

The man's hand was broad and powerful, a full size larger than her own small hand, and carried a faint warmth that felt incredibly secure.

Ning Rongrong's heart skipped a beat, and her blood began to race.

Even though Li Haiyun knew that everything Ning Rongrong was doing followed the instructions of the task card and he had already prepared himself mentally, he was still stunned, his heart feeling as though it were melting like ice cream the moment her fingers interlocked with his.

Her hands were beautiful and soft, like a ball of cotton with a pleasant, comforting warmth that made his heart flutter.

Li Haiyun was certain that if he were to lean in and take a breath, he would surely smell a delightful fragrance.

"Boss Li, what I wanted to say is... look into my eyes, and do not speak...!"

Ning Rongrong parted her cherry lips and said gently.

Li Haiyun understood her intent and cooperated fully, interlocking his fingers with hers while gazing into her beautiful eyes.

The bystanders nearby watched the scene unfolding before them and erupted like an anthill that had been kicked.

"Damn it, in broad daylight and under the open sky, what is this? Are they flaunting their romance?"

"Indeed, it's so sudden! How did they suddenly start holding hands, interlocking fingers, and gazing at each other so affectionately?"

"I didn't eat before coming out today, but watching these two hug and hold hands, I'm already stuffed!"

"..."

Most of the bystanders were shocked by the intimate interaction between Li Haiyun and Ning Rongrong, assuming they were flaunting their relationship.

However, a few sharp-witted bystanders immediately realized that there was more to the situation than met the eye.

"Flaunting their romance? I think your brain was kicked by a donkey; you look like a fool! This is clearly a requirement of the task this young girl received!"

"What? You mean to say this is required by the task card?"

"Nonsense! Given the nature of these task cards, it's absolutely forcing this pretty young girl to interlock fingers and gaze affectionately at Boss Li without making a scene!"

"Damn, that makes so much sense. I was just wondering why this girl, who doesn't even know the boss, would suddenly do something like this. I thought she was just too desperate... bah, it would be too damaging to her image!"

"So that's it! I finally understand what's going on. Thank you, kind and clever person; I was almost kept in the dark for the rest of my life!"

"..."

Listening to the discussions of the bystanders nearby, Ning Rongrong felt a pang in her heart at first. She wasn't flaunting any romance; she was just diligently completing her task!

Being misunderstood at the start made her cheeks burn even hotter.

But as it continued...

Some clever individuals noticed the clues and pointed out that this was due to the requirements of the mission content.

Ning Rongrong's heart, previously tightened with shyness, finally eased, and she let out a sigh of relief.

Ah, yes, yes, yes, it was exactly what the mission card required!

Everyone, please don't misunderstand!

Time passed quickly.

Very quickly.

Ninety-six breaths, ninety-seven breaths, ..., ninety-nine breaths, ...!

One hundred breaths!

The sound of the mission completion notification echoed in both Li Haiyun's and Ning Rongrong's minds.

"Alright, Boss Li, you can let go now. Thank you!"

Ning Rongrong said gently, bowing her head slightly as she withdrew her petite hands.

"You're welcome. It was my honor."

Li Haiyun nodded, his demeanor elegant and refined.

Immediately after.

The purple-grade mission card in Ning Rongrong's arms flew out on its own and hovered in mid-air.

Under the gaze of the crowd.

The purple-grade mission card emitted a swirl of misty purple vapor.

A moment later, the purple mist dissipated.

In its place were five exquisite glass bottles.

Each glass bottle was about the size of a thumb, filled with a thick, yellow liquid.

This was Ning Rongrong's reward: Experience Water for the Great Soul Master level, with one bottle granting one level.

As for Li Haiyun, he had triggered a double critical hit this time, obtaining ten bottles of Great Soul Master level Experience Water!

For the Black-grade mission card from earlier, Li Haiyun had triggered a hundredfold reward, obtaining a Color-Gold level Martial Soul Advancement Enhancement Card, which could provide top-tier enhancement to a Martial Soul upon use!

Grab.

Ning Rongrong reached out and grasped the five bottles of Great Soul Master level Experience Water.

"So this is the Experience Water that can increase a Soul Master's level!"

Ning Rongrong murmured, examining it with curiosity.

Li Haiyun heard her and nodded, confirming, "That's right. Consuming one bottle of Experience Water increases your cultivation by one level!"

The bystanders nearby were shocked upon hearing this; they had never imagined that such a thing as Experience Water, capable of increasing soul power levels, existed in this world. It was simply incredible.

Many of the bystanders' gazes turned fervent as they stared at the Experience Water, longing to possess it.

Receiving Li Haiyun's affirmative reply, Ning Rongrong was stunned.

At the same time, she recovered from her joy, her face flushing red as she said, "Boss Li, the hand-holding and the deep eye contact earlier were required by the mission card... and the mission was only visible to me... if I offended you, please don't mind!"

Ning Rongrong was only twelve years old at this time, or to be precise, nearing twelve.

Still a young girl, she inevitably felt flustered and uneasy when faced with romantic undertones or intimate contact with the opposite sex.

Li Haiyun smiled and said, "It's no problem, I don't mind. Actually, I had already guessed as much. It's good that you were able to complete the mission."

"Mm." Ning Rongrong nodded, her face still red, as she let out a soft sound.

"By the way, aren't you going to taste this Experience Water? Aren't you afraid the reward might be fake? If it really were fake, with so many people watching, you could demand justice for yourself!"

Li Haiyun added in a half-joking tone.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's expression turned serious, and she said sternly, "Boss Li, what kind of joke are you making! Since you were able to advance and enhance my Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda into an Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda, this Experience Water must be real!"

The bystanders nearby all nodded, feeling that Ning Rongrong's words made perfect sense.

Such awareness, not bad at all! Li Haiyun thought to himself in approval.

Just as he was thinking this.

Ning Rongrong spoke up again: "However, to prove that the rewards provided by Boss Li are genuine, I have decided to consume the Experience Water right here. Everyone, you should trust this shop and come to make more purchases!"

Hearing that Ning Rongrong actually wanted to advertise for him, Li Haiyun said gratefully, "Thank you."

The surrounding bystanders also wore excited expressions, clapping and cheering one after another.

Some people still harbored doubts in their hearts and were not quite convinced by the mission card shop.

Seeing such a demonstration in action, the bystanders were naturally extremely welcoming and supportive.

"Watch closely."

Ning Rongrong announced.

Immediately.

She picked up a bottle of Experience Water, popped the cap, inserted it into her cherry-red lips, and gulped it down.

The Experience Water was scarce, and it was finished in an instant.

At the same time, Ning Rongrong's body tensed as her cultivation aura surged.

She had leveled up!

"I leveled up!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. Subconsciously, she grabbed another bottle of Experience Water, opened the cap, and repeated the process, inserting it into her cherry-red lips to drink.

Her cultivation aura climbed once more, and she leveled up again.

Currently, Ning Rongrong was at level twenty-eight!

"Leveled up again, let's go again!"

Ning Rongrong murmured, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she consumed two more bottles of Experience Water in succession.

Her aura climbed to its peak.

Some discerning passersby soul masters sensed the change and exclaimed, "This little girl's cultivation aura has truly increased. Judging by these fluctuations, she's likely jumped four levels in a row!!"

"That's right, heavens! She actually increased her soul power by four levels in an instant. How terrifying!"

Another passerby soul master nearby exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding passersby felt their eyes gleam, their gazes turning predatory as they looked at the remaining bottle of Great Soul Master-level Experience Water in Ning Rongrong's possession.

Seeing the greed in everyone's eyes, Li Haiyun quickly issued a warning: "I advise those with ulterior motives to rein it in immediately. Rongrong is from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect; you cannot afford to provoke them. Furthermore, this Experience Water is only effective for soul masters between levels 21 and 29. I suggest you don't do anything foolish, or before the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect even makes a move, I will cripple you myself!"

Li Haiyun's voice was cold, and combined with the invincible, terrifying aura within the shop, it made everyone's hearts tighten, forcing them to tuck away their petty thoughts.

"Thank you, Boss Li. You are simply the best boss in the entire world!"
