This loving couple probably didn't expect Qi Xu to ask so directly, and they were even a step slower to take the knife out of their bag.

Qi Xu quickly picked up a stone from the roadside and sprinted over.

In an instant, the expressions of this loving couple became gloomy and stiff.

The man reacted quickly, pulling out the knife. In order to dodge the stone thrown by Qi Xu, he jumped to the side. The stone brushed past his shoulder and hit the ground, breaking into three or four pieces.

But while carefully protecting the child in her arms, Qi Xu discovered that the soul child had arrived, so she squatted on the side of the road and watched the scene.

The woman reacted faster and swung the bag over with her backhand. The metal zipper scratched Qi Xu's cheek, causing it to hurt.

But Qi Xu didn't dodge, using his momentum to strike the man in the lower back. He heard him groan and double over. Just as he was about to kick him, he felt a chill on the back of his neck—it was the woman, knife in hand, rushing towards him, the blade barely half an inch from his skin.

Qi Xu suddenly ducked, his elbow jabbing the woman's lower abdomen. She screamed in pain and stepped back. The moment the knife slipped from his hand, the man had already risen from the ground, clutching a broken brick and hurling it at her.

Qi Xu ducked his head, the brick edge brushing past his ear. He grabbed the man's wrist and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw. He hadn't felt so weak in a long time...

If it weren't for the fighting skills he had practiced, he would have been defeated by the mixed doubles team of this couple.

Amidst the dull thud, the woman lunged forward and tried to bite Qi Xu's arm. Qi Xu dodged sideways and stepped on her knife-wielding wrist, hearing the soft sound of bones scraping against each other.

The man struggled to get up from the ground. Qi Xu bent down and picked up the knife. He put his backhand against his throat and said breathlessly, "Try to move."

The wind carried the smell of blood, left by the broken bricks that had lacerated his ear. The two people on the ground were pale, their affectionate expressions gone.

Qi Xu endured the pain in his shoulders and elbows, and tied their hands and feet with their shirts and jackets. The two or three-year-old child was crying loudly beside him.

Qi Xu glared at the child, and the child stopped crying instantly.

The main reason was that he didn't want to attract other players, and his current condition was no longer able to sustain another battle.

If Qi Xu didn't feel that he had failed to fulfill his promise, he would have wanted to kill the three members of the family with a knife, which had already attracted someone with ulterior motives.

If you delay any longer, the peaches might be picked by others.

"Child, come here."

The evil soul slowly floated over and looked down at its feet.

"If you apologize to him, I won't kill you."

The three members of the family glared at the soul child with resentful eyes, and the child finally gave up all hope.

He gave a very sad grin, and then the family of three turned into a mosaic and slowly disappeared in the beautiful and quiet garden.

Qi Xu broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and he just remembered the promise he made to the child. "Kill" was not killing in the literal sense, but to help the child resolve his inner demons.

Guys, one thing leads to another.

The soul child turned to Qi Xu and said, "Thank you, goodbye. I will teleport you out of the dungeon. Congratulations on passing the level."

"No, my friend."

The spirit child was stunned, tilting his head in confusion. "Your dungeon mission is complete, so I'm not responsible for issuing the reward."

"I understand what I mean. Do you want to come with me? You don't look like a dungeon-specific NPC, do you?"

Qi Xu felt its sadness strongly, which shouldn't be the case, as monster NPCs shouldn't have any memories of their past.

The soul was small and opened its eyes wide in surprise.

"You've already passed the dungeon, why do you still need me with you?"

"I don't want you to be stuck in the dungeon forever. Go out and make new friends, and experience a fun and interesting new life."
