Tang San's gaze remained fixed on Hu Liena's retreating figure. Though she seemed within reach, her back looked more distant than at any point in his memories.
Fine. They would keep walking until they reached the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent. Hu Liena would eventually ask him for help.
Tang San was utterly certain of this, because only he knew the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's weakness.
Yet even after they walked all the way to the end, the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent never appeared.
Tang San froze.
He remembered that the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's territory was in the final stretch of passage before the exit. That snake was Hell Road's final checkpoint.
But why was it gone?
Damn it, why was this different from his previous life?!
"Wait a minute, I remember there being a Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent here. How could it be gone...?"
Tang San began making excuses when he saw Hu Liena standing there blankly.
But he had no idea that Hu Liena was not listening to him at all.
Hu Liena was thinking of someone else.
A Slaughter Envoy.
Could it be... that you perished together with that so-called Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent?
Tears brimmed in Hu Liena's eyes.
There had only been two men in her life who had stirred her heart. One was Meng Chen, and the other was that Slaughter Envoy.
Meng Chen was resented by her teacher, while the man before her had died young.
For the rest of the journey, Hu Liena was completely dazed. She did not notice anything Tang San said to her.
Only after they emerged from Hell Road and Hu Liena woke from her dizziness did she suddenly come to her senses.
Because someone was standing before her.
That person's figure
