Lin Xin closed his eyes directly. “Come on, if you can bring yourself to do it, then just kill me.”

“You…” Li Xin was a little flustered with everyone watching. She didn’t know what she was feeling at the moment, only that this guy was just too annoying. How was she supposed to face people after this!

But could she really stab him with this sword? Obviously not. Even if there hadn’t been any previous ambiguity between her and Lin Xin, she still wouldn’t be able to do it.

With a “clang,” Li Xin forcefully dropped the heavy sword in her hand on the ground and turned to run out.

Long Haochen quickly stopped Li Xin, saying, “Sister…”

Li Xin angrily said, “What? Do you want to bully me with him too?”

Long Haochen seriously shook his head, saying, “Of course not. You are my sister, although we are not related by blood. However, I have always regarded you as my own sister. I was also completely unaware of what Lin Xin said and did. But if he bullies you like this and doesn’t give you an explanation, I, as your brother, will never let him off.”

Long Haochen’s words were firm and carried a hint of anger, at least on the surface. Hearing him say this, Li Xin’s expression immediately softened a lot. Finally, someone was speaking up for her, and Long Haochen’s eyes were extremely sincere, without the strange looks of others.

Suddenly turning around, Li Xin’s eyes were already a little red. “Okay, I won’t leave. Lin Xin, you explain yourself clearly. What do you mean?”

Lin Xin took a few steps forward and stood there, looking slightly uneasy at this moment. “Li Xin, I’m sorry. I know that what I did just now might have made you a bit embarrassed. But you haven’t been paying much attention to me these days, and I didn’t know how to get you to listen to my heartfelt words. Now, in front of everyone, I must say what’s been pent up in my heart.”

At this moment, the fake expression from before was gone from his face. The eyes are the windows to the soul. While saying these words, his face was also a little red, and his eyes carried a hint of unease, but more than that, they showed excitement.

Li Xin suddenly found that she couldn’t quite look him in the eye, slightly turning her head away and saying, “Speak.”

Lin Xin’s gaze swept over the surrounding people. “Let me clarify first. My conversation with Li Xin just now may have caused some misunderstandings. The relationship between us is not what you all think. Remember when we were outside the Cave of the Howling of Fear? At that time, Li Xin scolded me because I couldn’t attack. Later, everyone helped explain it clearly to her. Li Xin felt like she owed me something. Later, in the valley where we rested, she said she wanted to repay me somehow. Then, she kissed me. That was her first kiss, and I swear to God, it was also my first kiss.”

Lin Xin spoke very seriously, so much so that everyone wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to. Li Xin’s pretty face flushed red again. But this time, she couldn’t refute Lin Xin because what he said was all true, without any exaggeration.

“Everyone should remember their first time most deeply, and so do I. After that time, some changes began to appear in my heart. I vaguely knew that the feeling should be liking someone. However, I didn’t know to what extent this liking went. I struggled every day because of the thoughts in my heart, but I was indeed cowardly. I didn’t have the courage to talk to you about anything. I was afraid of being rejected by you. And I wasn’t sure whether my liking for you was the love between a man and a woman.”

As Lin Xin spoke, he took two more steps forward. At this time, he was less than two meters away from Li Xin. Lin Xin’s breathing obviously became rapid, and his face became even redder.

His actions just now made Li Xin feel ashamed and embarrassed, but also, as the instigator, how could the pressure he was under be small?

“We finally came back, finally safe, and everyone relaxed. After delivering the mission, our two Demon Hunt Squads also separated. We even jointly obtained a lot of merit points. However, although I was excited because of the merit points, my heart was always heavy. I suddenly realized that not being able to see you every day would make me feel pain, feel longing. Not seeing your face, I had an unspeakable feeling of loss. I was shocked to realize that I was really…”

Taking another step forward, he came right in front of Li Xin, slowly raising his hands, grabbing Li Xin’s shoulders, and looking directly into her eyes. “I have really fallen in love with you.”

Hearing these words, Li Xin’s whole body shook violently, and her face was only left with shyness and no more anger.

“I don’t want to endure it any longer. Secret love is too painful. Expressing my feelings to you has at least a fifty percent chance of success. So, I chose now. Because, perhaps soon after, our two Demon Hunt Squads will each go to perform our own tasks. Perhaps in the future, even seeing you again will become as difficult as ascending to heaven, or perhaps, we won’t be able to return here from the next mission. I don’t want to face the possibility of death with regrets.”

“I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you. But I’m sincere, and I hope you can give me a chance.” As he spoke, Lin Xin’s hands holding Li Xin’s shoulders slowly slid down, turning to hold her hands, while kneeling on one knee in front of Li Xin.

Rich fire element also rose at this moment, quietly condensing behind Lin Xin into dazzling and beautiful rose flowers sculpted from rubies.

Li Xin was completely stunned. At this time, her brain was even blank.

She was already in her twenties this year. If she were an ordinary girl, she might have been married and had children long ago, but she had never had any experience of dating a man.

In her teens, she and her best friend had both liked a man, but that man didn’t choose her in the end. And at this moment, Lin Xin, who was kneeling on one knee in front of her, was much stronger than that man in every way. For a time, Li Xin’s heart was very confused, very confused. These days, Lin Xin had been struggling in his heart, but wasn’t she?

The sentence that moved Li Xin the most from Lin Xin’s words just now was the sentence that he didn’t want to face the possibility of death with regrets.

Everyone else didn’t speak. At Long Haochen’s signal, they quietly walked out of the villa, leaving the space here entirely to the two of them, and gently closing the door behind them.

Lin Xin was kneeling there on one knee. Although fire element was rising behind him, constantly condensing into red rose flowers, his hands were very cold and even sweating non-stop.

“I’m older than you,” Li Xin blurted out after holding it in for a long time.

Lin Xin hurriedly and eagerly said, “It doesn’t matter. Getting a wife older by three years is like finding a treasure, and getting a wife older by five years is like having your own mother. You’re not much older than me, not even five years older, right?”

Li Xin scolded with a smile, “Who’s your mother? Get up.” As she said this, she grasped Lin Xin’s hands and pulled him up.

Lin Xin was overjoyed. “You, you agreed?”

Li Xin snorted, “I didn’t agree.” As she said this, she glanced at the fire-red roses around her. “There’s no sincerity at all.” After saying this, she suddenly pushed Lin Xin away and turned to leave.

The flame roses turned into specks of red light and disappeared into the air. Lin Xin was stunned for a moment. Immediately afterwards, he clenched his right fist and waved it forcefully, flicking his long, dark green hair behind him. “Success. Wa ka ka.”

When Li Xin came out of the villa door, she naturally met everyone’s gazes again. She said in a bad mood, “What are you all looking at? You’re all in the same gang as that annoying guy. I’m going back to rest. You can go to the trading center yourselves.” After saying this, she ran away as if she were flying.

Long Haochen looked at Lu Xi in puzzlement and muttered, “Is it a success or not?”

Lu Xi smiled, saying, “Obviously there’s a chance! Squad Leader Long, you don’t have as much experience in this area as I do.” He stopped talking when he suddenly saw Cai’er in Long Haochen’s arms.

Lin Xin also came out of the room at this time. Seeing his happy face, and his majestic and high-spirited appearance, everyone knew that the two of them were practically a done deal.

Sima Xian grabbed Lin Xin with a jealous expression. “Brother Yao, you’re treating.”

Han Yu clamped Lin Xin from the other side. “A big meal is a must.”

Lin Xin laughed. “Sure, how about I treat you to some medicine?”

“Go to hell.”

Long Haochen gave Lin Xin a deep look but didn’t say anything. However, his eyes had already told Lin Xin a lot of things.

“Let’s go to the trading center. I want to buy a gift for Xin’er.” Lin Xin strode towards the outside.

Chen Ying’er made a face. “Shameless. Has she really agreed to it? Calling her Xin’er, Xin’er.”

Lin Xin turned around and said triumphantly, “Why wouldn’t she agree? I’m sincere. Xin’er will be my life from now on, more important than my own life.”

Long Haochen passed by Lin Xin. “Let’s go, let’s go to the trading center.”

The members of the Knight Grade Four Demon Hunt Squad didn’t say anything. For them, it would be a good thing if Li Xin and Lin Xin could be together. After all, this would greatly strengthen the relationship between the two Demon Hunt Squads. The members of the Knight Grade Four Demon Hunt Squad had clearly seen Long Haochen and the others’ strength. Moreover, during this mission, the two sides had undergone a certain degree of integration and had received great benefits. If they could continue to cooperate in future missions, it would obviously be very beneficial to the growth of the Knight Grade Four Demon Hunt Squad.

The Demon Hunt Squad Trading Center wasn’t very lively. Although there were many things here, there weren’t many people buying and selling. After all, there were only two hundred Demon Hunt Squads in the entire Temple Alliance. Many were out on missions, and only a few were resting here. And those who could set up stalls here had to be Demon Hunters, or people from the trading center itself.
