CHAPTER 510: CHAPTER 502: MY HUSBAND IS SHY

"Alright, I’ll hurry up!"

Qian Qi followed orders, immediately taking Su Ang’s right hand with her right hand, lifted the arm over his head, and bent down to lift Su Ang into a princess carry.

The next moment, she began to stride quickly towards the exit of the instance.

The silver-haired young man, who sensed something was off: ?

When the silver-haired young man opened his eyes again, he was already surrounded by the Awakened Warriors of Cui City, and also Xi Ye, Sikong Wang, and Shangguan Qing who had rushed over to the entrance of the instance, looking bewildered and confused.

Seeing the "ambiguous" posture of the two, the Awakened Warriors couldn’t help but cheer, "Wow! A hero rescuing a damsel!"

Sikong Wang held back a cough, "Cough cough cough—"

Xi Ye raised an eyebrow, "Brother Su, enjoying yourself, aren’t you?"

Shangguan Qing burst into laughter on the spot, "Hahahahahaha—! As expected of Qiqi! How many surprises do you have that Aunt doesn’t know about?"

The redness on Su Ang’s face and ears quickly spread down to his neck and whole body, he froze for a few seconds, before quietly burying his face into Qian Qi’s neck, opting to shy away.

"My partner is shy, why don’t you all disperse." Qian Qi, holding the handsome young man in her arms, strode towards a nearby chair, whispering with a chuckle towards Su Ang’s exposed ear, "Senior Su, just now in the instance, did you think I was going to kiss you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ang raised his head from her neck, his starry eyes beneath his fine silver hair glaring at her slightly, seeming to complain, "Aren’t I your partner?"

Why is she calling him Senior Su again?

He’s not someone who can take jokes lightly, once called a partner, he must be a partner, always a partner.

Qian Qi’s shoulders shook with laughter, and it took Su Ang a moment to realize that Qian Qi was doing it on purpose.

She always had this mischievous humor.

But for some reason, Su Ang loved this about her, whether this way or that, he loved her all the same.

"So, have you already conquered this instance?" Sitting down on the chair, Su Ang organized his thoughts. If anyone could conquer an S-level dungeon in such a short time, he could only think of Qian Qi, yet he still found it unbelievable.

He gazed at Qian Qi’s unusually blood-red eyes, "Is it because of this?"

Every time she suddenly became powerful, her eyes would turn red, and her aura would become very cold, but this time, her aura was much softer.

Is it... because their relationship had become closer, so she softened?

Su Ang thought with some embarrassment in his heart.

Qian Qi touched the corner of her eye and shrugged, "Sort of, but it’s more about sheer luck."

Qian Qi briefly recounted what happened in the instance, omitting the description of the illusion, "Anyway, I killed the newly chosen A-level Magic Beast in the instance but received an S-level reward."

Su Ang gently nodded, his gaze soft yet pained as he looked at her, "You’ve worked hard, so this S-level dragon won’t escape the instance, saving us the effort of killing it."

"Qiqi." He murmured softly, "Thank you."

Even though her aim was to save the people of Cui City and Central State, even though she deserved praise for being able to save innumerable A-level and even S-level Awakened from sacrifices and severe injuries in this battle, extending Central State’s respite...

He only fell for her because she saved him.

Qian Qi cleared her throat awkwardly, rubbing her nose in embarrassment, "But I have to kill that dragon, it has many materials I really need."

"Alright." Su Ang didn’t hesitate at all, "I’ll go with you."

Qian Qi squinted her eyes, smiling, "Even without a reward?"

The silver-haired young man’s ears turned red again uncontrollably, he hesitantly reached out to hook Qian Qi’s fingertips, noticing she didn’t pull away, he then whispered, "Then, once the dragon is slain, let’s go again without helmets."

The confession earlier in the instance didn’t receive an accurate response from her. Su Ang knew she wasn’t good at saying sentimental words, so actions would suffice.

Qian Qi laughed heartily and nodded, agreeing, while Su Ang’s cheeks grew even hotter.

Upon learning that Qian Qi and Su Ang were preparing to re-enter the instance, Shangguan Qing immediately picked up her weapon, "You guys don’t want to kill that dragon, do you? We’ll head in with you two! The more, the surer!"

Qian Qi cleared her throat, and Su Ang swiftly said, "No need, we’re just going in to find something, but it’s too dangerous inside, please have Aunt Shangguan keep others from entering for now, and wait for us to come out first."

The more people, the less she could keep to herself.

Shangguan Qing suspiciously stared at the two for a long while before saying, "Alright, then be safe you two!"

As soon as they stepped into the instance, Qian Qi felt a sharp claw coming at her, the young man beside her waved a hand, raising a solid Spirit Shield, a fierce crack slashed across the shield, indicating that the Fire Stream Dragon was quite furious.

"Humans! How did you escape!" The Fire Stream Dragon glared furiously at the two, it had just seen them leave the instance and wanted to leave from here as well, but couldn’t get out at all!

It went to find the previous Space Crack, only to discover it had healed!

Meaning, it couldn’t get out!

"Just walked out." Qian Qi looked up at the Fire Stream Dragon with an innocent expression, "What’s wrong, mighty Divine Dragon, can’t you get out?"

She taunted, "No way, no way, mighty Divine Dragon, you can’t be this weak, right?"

The Fire Stream Dragon had never been provoked by mortals like this before; it couldn’t help but open its massive mouth, wanting to breathe fire and burn Qian Qi to ashes.

"Wait!" Qian Qi raised her hand immediately to signal, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Before the humble human dies, may I ask a question?"

The Fire Stream Dragon’s throat rolled, swallowing back the fire, it looked at Qian Qi disdainfully, "Heh, a self-aware human, why should I answer you?"

"Because I call you the mighty Divine Dragon! I worship you so much, and admire you, willing to follow your lead, nothing in this world is as strong as you! Undoubtedly, everything is beneath you! You are the true ruler, the master of the world!" Qian Qi’s flattery rolled out without a second thought, she fell to her knees, raised her hands to the heavens, and made a deep bow towards the Fire Stream Dragon, "Oh mighty Divine Dragon! Please enlighten the humble human! To hear the way in the morning is to die resolved at dusk!"

The Fire Stream Dragon was stunned by her stance, although in its past, there had been ignorant humans who worshiped it, but they all cried and pleaded for mercy, extremely annoying to the dragon.

The Fire Stream Dragon, with its bloodthirsty nature, turned everything to scorched earth in its path, never having cared for these human lives, but, it was the first time encountering a human, with a valiant and excited expression, ranting about some "to hear the way in the morning is to die resolved at dusk."

Although it didn’t understand, it seemed to be saying that as long as it got its enlightenment, she’d be willing to die at once.

Well, that wasn’t out of the question.

On account of her sincerity, it could grant her the chance to end her own life.

"What do you want to ask?" The Fire Stream Dragon lifted its head, asking in a regal tone.
