Absolute Resonance Chapter 1162: Who?

Chapter 1162: Who?

Finally, the two of them noticed the arrival of the crowd outside the hall. Jiang Qing'e let go of Li Luo's collar and quickly shoved him away.

She took a glance at the intoxicated Li Luo shyly. Then she quickly got her emotions in check, and the rosiness on her cheeks subsided.

Her well-endowed chest continued to lightly heave. When she turned around, she had regained her usual composure.

This change in appearance was so fast that some would even suspect that the entire scene they had previously seen was just a figment of their imagination.

"Fake. It's all fake,," Wei Chonglou muttered. He truly hoped that everything he had seen was just an illusion.

However, he was soon interrupted by the heartless Yue Zhiyu. She looked at Jiang Qing'e playfully and said, "Who would have thought that the Holy Maiden of Hallowed Coruscation would be so madly in love?"

Jiang Qing'e glanced over at her. She replied indifferently, "We are officially engaged after all. Is he supposed to be in love with you instead?"

Li Luo also stepped forward at this moment, explaining in a hurry, "Sister Qing'e, please do not misunderstand. I already have a phoenix at home; why would I bother with the wild ducks on the side?"

Yue Zhiyu's face turned red with fury. She shouted angrily, "Who're you calling a wild duck?!"

The combination of verbal blows by Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo had caused her to seethe.

She couldn't help but make fun of Jiang Qing'e as she was someone who enjoyed teasing others.

Meanwhile, Feng Lingyuan, Duan Mu, Li Hongyou, and the rest walked into the hall at this point. Feng Lingyuan's eyes paused on Jiang Qing'e as she extended her hand out of goodwill. She said in a friendly voice, "I am Feng Lingyuan. I have heard of you for quite some time, Junior Jiang, and having had the chance to meet you today, I can see why you are the pearl of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College."

Jiang Qing'e shook hands with Feng Lingyuan and replied, "I would like to thank you, Senior Feng, for taking care of Li Luo along the way."

Feng Lingyuan smiled back. "Not really. If it weren't for Li Luo, we would have suffered even greater casualties on our way here. Taking him as my teammate was truly the right choice."

Jiang Qing'e's expression turned gentle. Hearing Feng Lingyuan praise Li Luo made her feel better, as if she was the one receiving it.

Li Luo also walked up and specially introduced Li Hongyou to Jiang Qing'e.

"Sister Qing'e, this is Senior Hongyou. She is close to me and will return to the Dragon's Fang Lineage with me later."

At the same time, he secretly whispered to her, "Strictly speaking, she is actually my cousin by blood. She possesses the Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit resonance, which boasts magnificent support capabilities."

Jiang Qing'e nodded slightly. She smiled warmly towards Li Hongyou.

Li Hongyou nodded in response. Her eyes were still full of shock. This wasn't simply because of Jiang Qing'e's incomparable beauty, but also the dual ninth-grade light resonances that she had displayed earlier.

It was incredible to see one who possessed both beauty and power.

"I thought Li Luo came from the outer divine continent. How did he find such a fiancee?" Li Hongyou was truly surprised. Having dual ninth-grade light resonances before the Duke Stage was an extremely rare sight even amongst the various Heavenly Emperor powers.

Li Luo introduced the others to Jiang Qing'e. Then he glanced over at Wei Chonglou, who had been staring at him with gloomy eyes. Even at this point, he felt a little unhappy about what had happened earlier. "Wei Chonglou, we may not be from the same college, but didn't you give up on me a little too quickly earlier?"

Wei Chonglou had previously not even attempted to stop the attack of the Aquamarine Python at all. When it was charging towards them, he dodged it as soon as possible and left Li Luo to fend for himself.

Fortunately, the Aquamarine Python was actually Li Lingjing. If it were anyone else, he would likely be dead right now.

Despite what he had done, Wei Chonglou still dared to stare at him with such a look in his eyes. Did he really think that the current Li Luo was still the same as the one an hour ago?

With the arrival of his strongest ally, Li Luo was no longer afraid of anything.

Wei Chonglou replied to him coldly, "I couldn't stop the Aquamarine Python. Why would I give up my life for nothing? Do you want me to die with you?"

Li Luo laughed. "Was it that you couldn't stop it or that you didn't want to stop it? Only you would know best."

This response caused everyone to look at him with a myriad of expressions. Truthfully, it did not matter whether he could or couldn't have stopped the Aquamarine Python. He had given up without putting up a fight. As comrades, it was hard to justify Wei Chonglou's decision. There would definitely be reservations in their hearts as they wouldn't want a teammate who would simply give up when their lives were in danger.

Sensing their gazes, Wei Chonglou turned even gloomier and a hint of anger could be seen within his eyes.

At this point, Jiang Qing'e frowned a little as well. Her sharp senses caught on immediately and she understood why Wei Chonglou was treating Li Luo in such a way.

It was all because of what she had said back in the college—no one in this world could compare with Li Luo.

Initially, she had thought that since Li Luo was in a faraway divine continent, no matter what happened in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College, it wouldn't affect him in any way. That was why she did not mind provoking the other students, leaving them jealous and less likely to bother her.

However, she had not expected to meet Li Luo like this.

The words that she had said before had caused people like Wei Chonglou to target Li Luo out of jealousy.

Light resonant power slowly flowed around Jiang Qing'e's body. Then it shone even brighter, and a terrifying pressure could be felt in the air.

Her sharp eyes glared straight at Wei Chonglou.

Since she was the one who had created the problem, she planned to be the one to resolve it.

The simplest way to do so would be to give Wei Chonglou a beating. This would send a clear warning to everyone else not to find trouble with Li Luo.

Jiang Qing'e was always decisive with her actions.

Seeing this, Wei Chonglou's face turned ugly immediately. Although they were obstructed by the poison mist earlier, they could still tell how formidable Jiang Qing'e's sword of light was.

It was likely that Ning Meng was the only one left in the whole Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College that could rival Jiang Qing'e. Even Wei Chonglou was no match for her anymore.

If Jiang Qing'e really came after him, he would suffer a humiliating defeat.

Therefore, he could not help but take a few steps back under Jiang Qing'e's determined gaze.

Seeing this, everyone held their breath for a moment before they tried to calm things down. This was not the time for internal strife. After all, the Evil Spirits and Murderous Ghost Horde were their biggest enemies right now.

Li Luo grabbed Jiang Qing'e's wrist and shook his head with a smile. He knew that Jiang Qing'e wanted to eliminate the root of the issue that she had inadvertently sowed. However, there was no actual need for this. After all, their relations.h.i.+p wasn't so weak that it would be affected by something like this.

Jiang Qing'e remained quiet as she looked at the situation. Gradually, the resonant power around her subsided. However, her piercing gaze remained locked onto Wei Chonglou.

At this moment, many more people appeared above the dome of the hall. Wu Changkong took the opportunity to slowly descend as well.

With a warm face and gentle smile, he nodded politely at the crowd. Then he turned over to Jiang Qing'e and said with a smile, "Junior Jiang, you really shocked me with that move earlier. I thought I would be able to rush over to a.s.sist you. In the end, you finished the Blood Coffin Carrier off with a single strike. The strength of dual ninth-grade light resonances is truly domineering."

After saying this, he turned towards Li Luo and asked, "Junior Li Luo, are you alright? Junior Jiang rushed over as soon as she heard you were in trouble." Looking at his friendly face, Li Luo would have really thought that Wu Changkong's words were out of genuine concern if they had not had that previous argument.

However, now he could tell it was all facade. Nonetheless, Wu Changkong was definitely much more troublesome than Wei Chonglou.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e both coolly nodded at him. They did not plan to improve their relations.h.i.+p with just a few words.

Wu Changkong was not bothered by their actions either. He turned towards the crowd and said, "Now that we're all here, let us head towards the Heavenly Ghost Altar and stop the True Devil Egg fusion together. What do you guys think?"

Naturally, everyone agreed with his suggestion.

So the crowd set off from the spot.

Li Luo intentionally extended his hand out to Jiang Qing'e and invited her to come along with him. The latter took a glance at the backs of the crowd who had set off. Then a sudden smile surfaced on her face as she asked in a casual tone, "So you haven't told me who that lady was. The one who absorbed the corruption from your body."
