Looking at Zhu Zhuqing by the bedside, who was absentmindedly holding a piece of clothing and fiddling with it repeatedly.

Feeling a little bored, Ning Rongrong jumped next to her.

"Zhuqing, aren't you curious about what's written in the letter?"

"Not curious!"

Zhu Zhuqing responded calmly, but her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the bathroom.

"No! You must be curious. I saw you just now, and you wanted to steal... um!"

Ning Rongrong's voice stopped under Zhu Zhuqing's cold gaze.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Zhuqing still asked her about Ye Qiu.

"Rongrong, do you know what level of cultivation he has now?"

"Of course I do!"

Mentioning this, Ning Rongrong happily spun around on the spot, her long blue dress spreading out like a blooming flower.

"I also helped him with his third spirit ring! Hmm... he should be close to breaking through to level 32 now, right?"

Her voice carried a hint of sweetness, because that evening, Ye Qiu kissed her for a very long time...

Thinking this, a slight blush crept onto her face.

"Level 32, huh..."

Zhu Zhuqing whispered, then looked at Ning Rongrong, who was still smiling sweetly.

Having not received the letter, she could only feel a pang of sadness, and she felt that Ning Rongrong's current appearance was somewhat of an eyesore.

In an instant, evil thoughts arose in her heart, and she parted her red lips slightly.

"It's nothing serious, I also helped him with his second spirit ring!"

"..." Ning Rongrong's smile suddenly froze, and she looked at her blankly.

"Zhu Qing... what do you mean by this?"

"It's nothing, just something I said casually!" Zhu Zhuqing replied indifferently, turning back to continue tidying up the things on the bed.

"Did you eat...?"

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to speak, Zhu Zhuqing didn't give her the chance and turned back to look at her again.

"Oh! By the way! My second spirit ring was also obtained for me by Ye Qiu... a thousand-year-old one!"

Finally, Zhu Zhuqing added a few more characters, glanced calmly at Ning Rongrong, and then fell silent.

But Ning Rongrong's expression changed.

This isn't just a casual remark; it's already so obvious!

She finally understood that this guy was showing off and deliberately provoking her!

"Zhu Zhuqing! What do you mean?"

Ning Rongrong stared wide-eyed. She had kindly told her about Ye Qiu's situation, and yet she was being provoked!

This is too much!

"You think you're so great just because you have a second ring that's a thousand years old! Hmph... that stinky woman who came after me already has a fourth ring that's ten thousand years old. Ye Qiu will definitely give me something better in the future!"

Ning Rongrong's angry shout had just ended when the bathroom door opened.

Xiao Wu came out from inside.

With tear stains on his face and red eyes, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing and the other woman strangely.

"Rongrong...what's wrong with you?"

As soon as she came out, she heard Ning Rongrong seemingly cursing, muttering something like "stinking woman"...

"Humph! Nothing!"

Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, not wanting to make things too tense with them.

She went to her bed and sat down without saying a word.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise, somewhat curious about who the 'stinky woman' she was talking about was.

But she didn't dwell on it for long before she started thinking about her own affairs.

Since Ye Qiu is only level 32 and not yet, can she confess her feelings again?

If he still dares to refuse and not take responsibility for himself, then he will... he will have to use force!

Thinking about it.

A blush crept onto Zhu Zhuqing's face.

"Xiao Wu... I... I'll help you make the bed!"

Seeing Xiao Wu still standing at the bathroom door, confused about the situation, Zhu Zhuqing got up and went over to her.

Ye Qiu asked her to protect Xiao Wu, and she naturally had to do her best.

Upon hearing her words, Ning Rongrong immediately gritted her teeth.

I was just angry with myself, but now I have to help Xiaowu make her bed.

This is blatant discrimination!

"Ah! Zhu Zhuqing!! Do you think I'm easy to bully!?"

When did I bully you?

"You just bullied me, you deliberately made me angry!" Ning Rongrong stood on the bed, her face flushed with anger.

"Zhu Qing...?"

Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing strangely.

"I...I didn't mean to! I'm sorry..."

Zhu Zhuqing blushed deeply as Xiao Wu gazed at her.

He apologized directly to Ning Rongrong.

If they were to investigate further, they would discover that Ning Rongrong was jealous of him because she hadn't received the letter, and that's why she deliberately provoked him.

That would make her even more embarrassed!

"I'm sorry!? What good is just saying sorry!"

Ning Rongrong was also taken aback when she heard her apology.

Then his eyes darted around, a hint of cunning flashing in them.

He bent his knees and jumped directly in front of Zhu Zhuqing, staring straight at her.

"Rongrong, how about we just forget about it?"

Xiao Wu quickly stepped between the two.

"What do you want?"

Zhu Zhuqing frowned. It was indeed a momentary impulse on her part. As long as Ning Rongrong didn't go too far, she was willing to comply.

"I want you to tell me and Xiaowu! What did you eat to grow up like this?!"

"Ah~ Ning Rongrong!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong bypassed Xiao Wu, extended her An Lushan-like claws, and attacked Zhu Zhuqing.

She was not only curious about the contents of Xiao Wu's letter, but also about Zhu Zhuqing's growth!

Now that she has this opportunity, she must seize it!

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's request, Xiao Wu froze on the spot, letting her pounce on Zhu Zhuqing.

"Rongrong, I... I don't want to..."

Xiao Wu's face turned bright red.

Although he said no, his eyes were already fixed on Zhu Zhuqing, with a hint of envy in them.

"Ouch! Ning Rongrong! Let go of me, you're hurting me..."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice, filled with shame and indignation, rang out...

……

The city of Tiandou at dusk was shrouded in a sense of twilight.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was leading Xiao Lan through various mineral shops, purchasing one of the raw materials for making gunpowder... saltpeter!

As for sulfur, it is readily available in the Yin-Yang Well; charcoal goes without saying.

"Brother, why are you buying so many stones?"

"I'll give it to someone as a gift!" Ye Qiu held Xiao Lan's hand and weaved through the crowd.

"A gift!?" Xiao Lan clung to Ye Qiu's arm, looking at him curiously.

"Alright, you should just eat your candied hawthorn obediently!"
