Zhu Zhuqing knew time waited for no one. She spoke directly to the girl beside her, who was practicing with a shield. "Ling Dang, put your shield on the ground, then stand on it."
"A Lie, like this?"
Ling Dang placed the silver shield in her hands on the ground, then stepped onto it.
"Yes." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then addressed Jiang Zhu, who was watching the two of them curiously. "Jiang Zhu, you stand on it too, then hold on to Ling Dang."
Jiang Zhu nodded obediently, then stepped forward onto the silver shield and tightly hugged Ling Dang, who was smaller than her.
Seeing the two petite girls staring blankly at her, Zhu Zhuqing smiled faintly.
Yellow, yellow, purple-three Soul Rings rose from beneath her feet, bobbing up and down. The second ring flashed, and Zhu Zhuqing darted to the two girls' side.
Under their astonished gazes, she lifted the shield outright, frightening both girls into lying flat on it.
"Hold on tight. We're going!"
Three ropes appeared and bound Jiang Zhu and Ling Dang securely. Amid their startled cries, Zhu Zhuqing climbed swiftly with the silver shield on her back.
Within a few breaths, Zhu Zhuqing conquered the steep little hill. At the same time, she received a reward of one destiny point.
Had she not just received a random quest to help the two girls without using Soul Skills, she would have summoned her soul pet long ago. Why go to all this trouble?
Once all three stood safely on the summit, they finally noticed the others several meters ahead.
And the blue sea beneath the blue sky.
Beyond the summit lay a boundless sea. It was almost unbelievable: blue waters, soft sand, the sound of waves, and even the faintly fishy scent of seawater.
