The two hadn't walked far when a short-haired man approached, moving without making a sound and displaying exceptional skill.
The person who led Qi Ling and her companion to this person immediately said respectfully, "Lord Blood Blade, these two are guests who wish to pay their respects to Nether Queen."
Blood Blade waved to the man, who immediately understood and walked down. Then Blood Blade looked at Qi Ling and Ning Rongrong and said, "Hall Master Ning, it's been a long time."
Ning Rongrong wasn't surprised that the other party recognized her at a glance. She said, " Blood Blade, I'm here to see Nether Queen You, not to see you."
"Hehe, don't say that, Hall Master Ning. You're not interested in me, but I'm extremely interested in you!" Blood Blade suddenly laughed. "A peerless beauty whose name is known throughout the world and who is on par with Nether Queen, what man wouldn't be tempted?"
Ning Rongrong frowned, clearly angered by the other party's words. Qi Ling then patted Ning Rongrong's shoulder with a smile and asked Blood Blade, "Excuse me, what is your relationship with Nether Queen You?"
Blood Blade looked at Qi Ling and said arrogantly, "An unfamiliar face. Who are you?"
Ning Rongrong, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "He's my friend! I can vouch for him."
"I trust Master Ning's guarantee," Blood Blade said. "Before answering your question, I want to ask you, do you know why Blood Hall is the number one assassin organization in the world?"
Qi Ling honestly replied, "I don't know."
"It's very simple, it's because of Nether Queen! Because of Nether Queen, we are the strongest in the world!" Blood Blade said. "So, don't ask what our relationship with Nether Queen is! To everyone in the Blood Hall, Nether Queen You is supreme!"
Qi Ling hadn't expected that these Blood Hall members would be such fervent fans; she just wondered if everyone else was the same.
"Of course, if you're asking about my strength, I'm ranked third in the Blood Hall," Blood Blade continued, "Only after Nether Queen and Yinniang."
Judging from the other person's expression, Qi Ling finally knew that this should be a good ranking, so she said, "Well, alright, in that case, let's go see Nether Queen first. We can talk about it later."
Although Blood Blade wanted to say something more, he knew that Nether Queen should have already received news of their arrival. Since they were her guests, she was probably on her way here, and it wouldn't be good for him to delay any longer. So he led the two of them inside.
On the way, Blood Blade didn't forget to tease Ning Rongrong, saying, "I don't know what your relationship is, but it seems like Hall Master Ning has a very close relationship with this person!"
"I never imagined that the Holy Queen of the Light Observation Hall would appear with a man. It's truly unexpected! I never dreamed of such a thing."
But Blood Blade didn't know that what he thought was sarcasm sounded very pleasant to Ning Rongrong. She didn't care about the Holy Queen or the Hall Master of the Light Observation Hall. All she cared about was the person beside her.
"Hmph! Mind your own business! Meddling in other people's business will only make you sick!" Ning Rongrong said. "Besides, don't talk about me, maybe your Nether Queen You would be even more excited than me if she saw him! She might even rush over and kiss him a couple of times!"
"Hahaha, Your Holy Queen, you're quite the joker! But alas, our Nether Queen You is not that kind of person, and she would never do such a thing!" Blood Blade said as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
The Nether Queen? Just thinking about it made Blood Blade feel like his beliefs were about to collapse; it was simply impossible.
They hadn't walked far when they saw a man emerge from the depths of the Blood Hall. Upon seeing this man, Blood Blade's face immediately lit up with a fervent admiration. " Nether Queen, the Holy Queen has come to visit with a strange man. I think they..."
Before Blood Blade could finish speaking, a crisp "clang" suddenly came from the ground, and the dagger that Nether Queen never parted from was actually dropped to the ground!
As for her, even before the sound of the dagger hitting the ground could be heard, she transformed into a blur and threw herself into Qi Ling, holding him tightly.
Everyone present was speechless with astonishment at this scene, except for Qi Ling, who laughed and said, " Zhu Zhuqing, you don't need to be so... um!"
Unlike Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing didn't care about what others thought, so her intense longing led her to kiss Qi Ling's lips passionately and fieryly.
Ning Rongrong, watching the two of them, couldn't help but chuckle. At this moment, she was even more curious about what kind of expression Blood Blade would have, so she couldn't help but steal a glance. Once she saw it, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Blood Blade's mouth was so wide open it seemed to drag on the ground, his eyes looked like they were about to pop out, and it even seemed like snot would be dripping from his nose in a little while.
No wonder, for Blood Blade, the scene unfolding before his eyes was nothing short of a shattering of his beliefs. The Nether Queen Youhou, whom he held in esteem, was now embracing and passionately kissing a man. More importantly, it was Nether Queen initiated it? Was he dreaming? This nightmare was far too real!
"You, you've finally come." After finally ending her passionate kiss with Qi Ling, Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed excitedly, "I knew you would find me!"
This shows the difference between Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. Their personalities can be seen from what they said to Qi Ling. Fortunately, Qi Ling likes them both.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you all back."
Zhu Zhuqing then released Qi Ling, but her face still showed a look of fear, as if she was afraid that everything in front of her was an illusion and that Qi Ling would disappear in the next second.
"Crunch, crunch!" At this moment, a strange sound startled everyone. It turned out that Blood Blade was making the sound by clenching his teeth, and the expression on his face was indescribably ferocious and terrifying.
"How dare you, how dare you defile Nether Queen! This sin can only be atoned with death!" Blood Blade said viciously, then pulled out a short knife from his waist and was about to rush towards Qi Ling.
But before Blood Blade could rush out, a figure appeared beside him. Zhu Zhuqing held a dagger to his neck, preventing Blood Blade from moving an inch.
"You have some nerve, Blood Blade!" Zhu Zhuqing said Lingling to Blood Blade, "You dare touch my man? Do you have a death wish?"
