Tang San was astonished to see Hu Liena stepping forward. They had always been partners, and he never expected that Hu Liena would risk her life for him.
"Oh? You're the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, with a bright future ahead of you, yet you're willing to die here for a man?" Xiao Ye said from the side, "Have you really thought this through?"
In fact, Hu Liena didn't know why she made such a decision. She had an important mission on her shoulders and could not afford to die here easily. Originally, she should have seized every opportunity to survive, no matter what.
But for some reason, when Tang San faced a life-or-death crisis, she didn't think of anything; her body had already rushed out first! By the time she came to her senses, she was already blocking Tang San's way.
"Further words are pointless. Since I have been defeated by you, this is the inevitable end," Hu Liena said. "I only hope that after you kill me, you can spare Tang San! Because he is different from me; he has many people waiting for him to return."
Seeing how sincere Hu Liena's feelings for Tang San were, Qi Ling couldn't help but be deeply moved. This kid is lucky; he's been chosen by a good woman!
"Alright, since that's how it is, I'll grant your wish!" Qi Ling said. "Killing you alone should be enough, so go in peace!"
As she spoke, Qi Ling raised her sword and thrust it towards Hu Liena's chest, while secretly observing Tang San's movements.
As expected, the Tang San he knew wasn't the kind of man who would let a woman die for him! He shoved Hu Liena aside, grabbed Qi Ling's sword, and said, "No need. Since you're after me, just kill me and let her go!"
Hu Liena naturally refused Tang San's offer, and tearfully begged Qi Ling to kill her and spare Tang San. Tang San, however, firmly gripped Qi Ling's sword and refused to let go.
Actually, Qi Ling and Xiao Ye were practically bursting with joy inside, but they suppressed their laughter and said seriously, "You two, you both want me to kill yourselves, so what exactly do you want me to do?!"
"Alright then, I won't kill you. You just need to do one thing, and I'll let you go, how about it?" Qi Ling said with a smile, "Let's start with you!"
Qi Ling pointed at Hu Liena as she spoke, and Hu Liena firmly replied, "Alright! Tell me your request, and I'll grant it!"
To save Tang San, Hu Liena was prepared to sacrifice everything, even if Qi Ling made the most outrageous demands.
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Qi Ling couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, my request is simple: you! Go kiss him!"
Hu Liena, who had been prepared to die, was stunned upon hearing Qi Ling's request and asked in confusion, "Huh? What?"
"Didn't you understand? I told you to kiss him!" Qi Ling pointed at Tang San and repeated, "And it has to be a loving, sincere, passionate, focused, romantic... kiss!"
Hu Liena and Tang San were completely baffled by Qi Ling's request. What kind of bizarre request was this? Did this guy have some kind of peculiar hobby?
Qi Ling had no idea that his well-intentioned efforts had been misinterpreted by the two as some kind of pervert. He continued to demonstrate his professional acting skills, saying fiercely, "Hurry up! Do you need to build up your emotions? Get to work, or I'll regret it!"
Hu Liena blushed, shyly turned to face Tang San, and said in a voice barely audible, "Tang... Tang Yin... we... I..."
Tang San was also extremely shy at this moment, even more so than Hu Liena. He had no idea what to do and seemed to have frozen in place upon hearing the word "kiss."
Looking at Tang San's state, Hu Liena sighed inwardly. It seemed she wouldn't be able to wait for him to take the initiative; she would have to take the initiative herself! At the same time, she comforted herself, saying, "This is all to save two people's lives; there's no other meaning behind it!"
So, suppressing her shyness, Hu Liena threw herself into Tang San's arms and kissed his lips with her beautiful red lips, looking deeply in love.
After sensing Hu Liena's affection, Tang San gradually came to his senses, wrapped his arms around her waist, and responded to her.
At this moment, Qi Ling and Xiao Ye had achieved their goal. Qi Ling quietly tugged at Xiao Ye and whispered, "Hey, we should get out of here! It'll be difficult to clean up the mess once they realize what's happening!"
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, let me watch a little longer!" Xiao Ye said excitedly, "Such a thrilling scene isn't something you can just see anytime!"
"You little brat, don't stay here and be a third wheel! Hurry up and leave!" Then, Qi Ling pulled the still-wanting Xiao Ye away, leaving only Hu Liena and Tang San still immersed in their own world.
When Tang San and Hu Liena came to their senses, Qi Ling and Xiao Ye had already vanished, as if they had never been there at all, making them even wonder if they had just hallucinated.
Regardless, their relationship has undoubtedly taken a significant step forward, with no more suspicion between them. Having someone they can truly trust will undoubtedly make their upcoming matches much easier.
That evening, after Qi Ling and Xiao Ye recounted what had happened that day, Jian Lan couldn't help but laugh and say, "You two, what kind of matchmaker are you, so forceful!"
Qian Renxue said with a serious expression, " The Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall? If these two were to form a marriage alliance, it would likely cause a very serious chain reaction!"
"Hey, that's a long way off," Qi Ling said. "Given their personalities, it won't happen anytime soon! A Xue, don't worry about it so much."
After all, the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect are still considered enemies, and the impact of Qian Xunji's actions is far-reaching.
How far these two will go is entirely up to fate.
A few days later, when Tang San and Qi Ling met by chance in the Hell Slaughter Arena, Tang San couldn't help but ask, " Bai Di! What was your intention in doing those things a few days ago?"
"What do you mean, 'a few days ago'? What are you talking about?" Qi Ling feigned ignorance. "I've been cultivating my killing intent all this time; I haven't had time to waste on your nonsense!"
"But you clearly..." Tang San recalled his kiss with Hu Liena, and suddenly couldn't speak.
"That's ridiculous. I think you're hallucinating because you can't handle the killing intent," Qi Ling said fabricatedly. "You should train properly, lest you let the killing intent cloud your judgment."
After saying that, Qi Ling walked into the Hell Slaughter Arena on her own, leaving Tang San wondering to himself: Was I really hallucinating?
