CHAPTER 509: CHAPTER 501: AFTER THE KISS, WE ESCAPE TOGETHER.

Su Ang couldn’t hear her voice.

Just seeing her in that moment, his originally restless and heavy heart miraculously calmed down. Before entering the S-level dungeon, being able to look at the girl one more time undoubtedly fulfilled a regret for Su Ang.

But people are never satisfied.

Unspoken feelings, fingers that can’t be intertwined, lips that haven’t touched — all these regrets and emotions that haven’t had time to slowly wait must be buried with him in the S-level dungeon. He doesn’t know how long it will take to leave the dungeon, nor if he will come out alive.

He is reluctant.

But rather than recklessly drawing the Fire Stream Dragon into the dungeon, he wants more to give the girl a world where she can live peacefully, a world without bloodshed and countless separations, a world where she can smile comfortably.

Before, he lived for humanity; now he only wants to live for her.

Let’s be reckless this once.

Before saying goodbye.

The gray storm swept between the crimson skies, drowning out all sounds. The dragon raised its wings, covering the blood moon in the night sky, as if playing a unique sorrowful tune for this silent farewell. On the endless ruins, the falling and dancing ashes paved a path for the silver-haired youth to meet her.

Looking at the silver-haired youth, Qian Qi waved her hands more vigorously, she wanted to say, Su Ang, I am here. She wanted to say, Su Ang, you don’t need to fight alone.

She wanted to hold Su Ang’s hand and walk together, wanted to whisper her combat plan at his ear, wanted to boast about her recent luck, but saw the silver-haired youth flying towards her, gently bending in mid-air, his fingers winding around hers.

Through the transparent faceplate of the Defense Helmet, she met Su Ang’s gaze.

Like tides surging under the moonlight at night, endlessly crashing against the stones on the shore, entangled, infatuated, yet reluctant.

The helmet was gently lifted by his other hand, she saw the silver-haired youth’s lips gently kiss the faceplate of her helmet.

The storm and the tides stopped at that moment.

The world seemed to be silent; her mind went blank and she couldn’t hear anything.

The kiss, a gentle touch and then gone.

Through the transparent faceplate, she saw Su Ang give her a deep look, and then decisively swept past her towards the direction of the S-level dungeon.

The storm that swept by also gently passed by her side, never hurting her at all. Qian Qi raised her hands, aimlessly touching the helmet faceplate that had been kissed.

What was that for?

Why did he suddenly kiss her?

Could it be that during a time she wasn’t aware, she and Su Ang had actually reached the stage where they could kiss?

Qian Qi’s expression subtly tapped her chin, hesitated for a while, then suddenly remembered the serious matter and hurriedly dragged that ink-colored leaf to chase after Su Ang.

If she guessed correctly, Su Ang was planning to take the Fire Stream Dragon into the S-level dungeon.

She had just conquered that dungeon, the news couldn’t have reached Su Ang, which means Su Ang is entering the dungeon with a determination to die.

No wonder he suddenly...

Realizing something, Qian Qi’s cheeks suddenly burned.

"What on earth, making people’s hearts itch."

She softly murmured, instinctively quickening her pace, flying towards the S-level dungeon.

Over there, Su Ang was releasing a large amount of spiritual power, finally managing to drag the Fire Stream Dragon into the S-level dungeon.

The Fire Stream Dragon’s spiritual power was constantly resisting, swallowing Su Ang’s spiritual power like a bottomless pit, finally regaining control of its body at the moment Su Ang relaxed, and sprayed a powerful fire pillar towards Su Ang.

"Damn human, how dare you control me! But alas, you are only so much!"

The Fire Stream Dragon’s angry power is not to be underestimated, nearby lava and magma rolled with the fire pillar, splattered together, Su Ang wielded the winds to fling away the lava, using the Spiritual Shield to forcibly withstand the fire pillar’s attack.

"Stay here." Su Ang condensed a longsword in his palm, his gaze sharp towards the Fire Stream Dragon. "I won’t let you escape from here."

"Do you think this is enough to trap me?"

The Fire Stream Dragon sneered contemptuously, "Foolish human, let me show you what true strength is."

It howled to the sky, and the dungeon shook, countless beast cries sounded from afar, as if summoned by the Beast King, "To deal with you, this worm, I don’t even need to lift a hand!"

The dragon spread its wings and flew to the sky, behind it, a mighty Magic Beast Tide surged like waves, layer upon layer rushing towards here, "Roar——!"

Each beast’s eyes were crimson, like mindless Magic Beasts, sharp fangs drooling saliva. Ninety percent of the monsters in the ground dungeon enjoy slaughter and consuming human flesh, and under the Beast King’s call, they collectively aimed to put Su Ang to death.

Seeing this, Su Ang did not wish to fight, wanting to first find a place to hide, but surrounded by Magic Beast Tide, having already exhausted a large amount of elemental power and spiritual power with the Fire Stream Dragon outside the dungeon, it was as difficult as climbing heaven to evade the pursuit of the Fire Stream Dragon and the Magic Beast Tide.

Su Ang’s gaze sank slightly, thus, he could only fight desperately to carve out a bloody path.

Looking at the dragon in the sky, Su Ang spun a wind vortex with his right hand, suddenly hearing a weak "thump" behind him, initially thinking it was some Magic Beast appearing, he turned around, and when he saw that thin figure who fell in as she walked into the dungeon entrance, his pupils sharply focused.

He ran over hurriedly, tightly gripping Qian Qi’s arm to help her up; his usual calm composure no longer maintained, "Why did you come in!"

Did she know how dangerous the S-level dungeon was?!

Was she mad?!

Qian Qi didn’t expect, although she landed perfectly the last time she entered, this time she was tripped by some random stone. Fortunately, Su Ang caught her in time, otherwise having just kissed him and then immediately falling embarrassingly in front of him would slightly hurt her image.

She softly cleared her throat, replied, "I just wanted to ask, what did the kiss mean just now?"

Su Ang paused, belatedly blushing, the fine silver hair reflecting the light from the lava, seemed to have shaded with a layer of shy red.

He never imagined, Qian Qi would come for this reason, looking for him.

He relied on the fact that the girl might not have the chance to ask him, daring to make such a bold "confession."

He awkwardly averted his eyes, stepped back, "This is a S-level dungeon, and you came in just to ask this?"

Qian Qi stepped forward, she took off the helmet, looking up with bright eyes at him, seeing his handsome yet noble face increasingly flushed and evasive gaze, mischievously replied, "Yeah, someone deliberately kissed me then, wouldn’t want me to be a widow outside, would they? Truly a scheming man."

"I didn’t." Su Ang hurriedly refuted, "Didn’t mean to leave you a widow."

"Oh, so that’s not the case, I can safely go out to find another man then." Qian Qi thoughtfully nodded, turned to leave the dungeon.

Su Ang quickly grabbed her hand, "Who would you find?"

She couldn’t be going to find Nangong Yan? Or Sikong Wang? Or maybe Xu Jinghong or Xi Ye?

The flustered, uneasy silver-haired youth, with a chaotic brain, momentarily failed to notice the emphasis in the girl’s words, "Don’t go, Qiqi, I want to be with you, I also want you to like me."

No need for love, just liking is enough to satisfy.

This is a true confession.

Qian Qi originally just wanted to tease him, now seeing him so frantic and anxious, felt a little embarrassed.

She touched her nose, "Got it."

She clasped Su Ang’s right hand fingers, then tightly intertwined, "Close your eyes, I’ll give you a surprise."

Su Ang glanced at the increasingly close Magic Beast Tide all around, then at the girl’s serious face, his ears also followed turning red, like dripping blood.

She, she wouldn’t be...

The silver-haired youth quickly closed his eyes, his lips slightly trembling, his voice hoarse and tender, "Then, then hurry."

After the kiss, let’s escape together.
