Chapter 367: Is Your Spear Out of Control?

Almost the instant he entered the Hell Slaughter Arena, after leaving the sight of those people behind, Qin Jian reached out to grab Hu Liena, his figure flickering in an instant as he found a corner to hide in.

"Qin Jian, what's wrong with you?!"

Hu Liena sensed something was amiss, hurriedly supporting his body as she asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

Qin Jian held her, panting lightly: "No... just a bit exhausted... those dozen or so Fallen Ones who dared to attack at the end... they were definitely not weak..."

He paused before continuing: "The intensity of the soul power within them was no lower than a Soul Saint..."

"A Soul Saint?!"

Hu Liena gasped in shock, but before the sound could escape, Qin Jian clapped a hand over her mouth.

She reacted immediately, hurriedly closing her mouth and lowering her voice: "I thought your current strength had already reached a level I couldn't hope to match, that you could defeat anyone no matter how many there were."

Qin Jian smiled and said: "How could that be? After all, I only have the soul power of a Soul Emperor available to me. Even if the Dragon Spear is powerful, it can't keep fighting forever."

"Hoo..."

Hu Liena let out a soft breath: "That's fine too. At least I can still see your back and won't be left too far behind."

Qin Jian chuckled and held her tighter: "My strength isn't as great as you imagine. You aren't disappointed, but rather relieved?"

"Because I also want to be able to follow in your footsteps, instead of watching you walk further and further away..."

Hu Liena leaned into his embrace, listening quietly to his heartbeat, and the red glow that had been flickering in her eyes slowly began to fade.

Qin Jian was the same.

When affection flowed through the heart, the killing intent would be dispersed, and the influence of the Killing Aura was temporarily suppressed.

"Qin Jian, suppression is useless; in the end, it will only erupt even more violently..."

The girl's consciousness inside the Silver Dragon Spear linked to the bottom of Qin Jian's heart: "It's actually perfect that this woman is here with you. You can release this manic desire for slaughter through mating."

Her voice was very calm, as if she were speaking of something of no consequence.

Qin Jian found it somewhat amusing: "Don't you hate humans the most? You look at humans the same way they look at Soul Beasts. How could you let me and her..."

The girl's voice remained faint: "Just a tool for venting desire, nothing to make a fuss about."

"But she is one of my targets for falling in love, not a tool," Qin Jian reminded her.

The girl was silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "Then forget it, you should go find someone else. I think that woman in the black gauze skirt from earlier was pretty good; she was quite sturdy and should be able to be tossed around for a while longer..."

Qin Jian: "..."

"Not talking again? Are you communicating with your spear?" Hu Liena in his arms sensed the anomaly.

Qin Jian reacted quickly: "I'm resting. I have to go to the Hell Slaughter Arena in a while. Although it's only the first match, no one knows if we'll run into a powerhouse who just arrived, so it's better to recover a bit more."

"Are you still going to participate today?" Hu Liena frowned.

Qin Jian nodded: "Of course. I don't want my Nana sleeping on the street."

"Hmph."

A soft huff from the girl came from his mind, and Qin Jian immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

"Can you stop calling her Nana?" the girl said, cold and clear.

Qin Jian held Hu Liena in his arms, communicating with the girl in his heart, enjoying himself immensely...

"Why?" Qin Jian asked.

The girl said: "Because... I feel very uncomfortable..."

"And why is that?" Qin Jian continued to ask.

"Because... my name has a character that is the same as hers..." the girl hesitated.

"You seem to have never told me what your name is," Qin Jian said.

Even though I've known for a long time...

"I..."

The girl clearly paused, finally saying: "Anyway, I have a 'Na' character too, don't call her that."

Qin Jian blinked his eyes and said: "Could it be that Nana is your nickname?"

"No."

The girl said decisively: "Never has been."

"Then what are you struggling with? Since we have the same character, I'll just call you Na'er," Qin Jian said.

The girl: "..."

"How about it, Na'er?" Qin Jian said with a smile.

"No... you are not allowed to call me that..."

The girl was completely defeated: "I... I'm going to go recover first..."

The corners of Qin Jian's mouth still held a smile.

He was certain that regardless of whether she was among his future targets for falling in love, she was the one he would never let go of.

"Such a perfect girl, of course she must belong to me..."

Of course, unless it was the moment of victory, he wouldn't say such thoughts out loud... from a tactical standpoint.

"Teacher once said that we should try our best not to participate in the Hell Slaughter Arena on the same day. You're tired today, why don't I go participate instead?" Hu Liena said at this moment.

Qin Jian shook his head, gently stroking Hu Liena's cheek, and said: "Your strength isn't safe enough. Each match in this Hell Slaughter Arena has ten people, and only one can survive. I don't want you to take the risk."

The little fox felt soft inside, raising her head to kiss Qin Jian's lips as she whispered: "But I don't want you to take the risk either..."

It was already relying on the two's affection to suppress the killing intent, and at this moment, Hu Liena's actions were like a spark thrown into a pile of firewood.

In an instant, it was burning fiercely.

"You're afraid something will happen to me... then help me lower my fire... that way I might perform even better..."

There was no more verbal communication, because it wasn't just Qin Jian who had been ignited, but Hu Liena as well.

Furthermore, the Killing Aura on Hu Liena, after a year in Death Canyon, was already very heavy, and it was impossible to suppress it here.

In an instant, heaven's thunder ignited the earth's fire; the two embraced, kissing wildly and recklessly.

But such intense commotion was finally noticed by others; several Fallen Ones signaled to each other, quietly raised their weapons, and approached.

"Sss, sss, sss..."

But just as they viciously lunged over, a silver current surged beside Qin Jian, the Silver Dragon Spear suddenly appeared, and streaks of spear radiance thrust out, instantly pinning them dead to the ground.

"Bang!"

Just as the surrounding people were startled, the silver spear suddenly leapt up on its own and, without a word, slapped its spear tip against Qin Jian's forehead.

"Na'er, what are you doing?!"

Qin Jian immediately separated from Hu Liena and covered his head in defense.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The Silver Dragon Spear struck incessantly, and at the same time, a girl's clear and indifferent voice rang out: "Are you a bit more sober now?"

Qin Jian: "..."

"Qin Jian, is your spear not under your control?" Hu Liena watched this scene in surprise.

It was one thing for it to inexplicably strike once in a while before, but this was clearly an act of angrily beating someone...

Why did she always feel that this wasn't a spear, but a love rival?

Can a spear even be a love rival?

Hu Liena felt a lot of pressure...

"Cough, cough..."

Qin Jian broke into a sweat on his forehead: "Under normal circumstances, my spear is under my control, but under special circumstances, it is not..."

"Why do I feel that these so-called special circumstances are every time I am being intimate with you?"

Hu Liena asked suspiciously: "Could it be that your spear likes you?!"
