Chapter 1153: Missing You for a Thousand Autumns

In the silent, soundless great hall, because of the majestic light phase power Jiang Jiang Qinge had previously activated, bright specks of light were still drifting through the air, scattering down like stars.

And in Li Luo's pupils was reflected that exquisitely beautiful, familiar face.

The resplendent sea of stars could not compare to half the splendor of the face before him.

Li Luo made no move at all; instead, he even suppressed his breathing until it was slow. He stared blankly at that unforgettable face. Over the past year or more, this countenance, fleeting as a startled swan, had appeared in his dreams countless times.

Li Luo could smell the faint, subtle fragrance coming from the girl before him—it felt so real.

So he understood that this was no illusion, but that person he had been yearning for day and night had truly appeared before him.

Jiang Jiang Qinge looked at the dumbfounded Li Luo, and within her golden pupils tenderness also blossomed. Then she pressed her lips together in a light laugh, breaking the silence: "Stunned silly?"

Li Luo's heart surged like the tide, and then he said softly: "Jiang Jiang Qinge, one day apart feels like three autumns; I have missed you for a thousand."

Jiang Jiang Qinge was slightly startled. She could clearly feel the deep emotion and longing contained in Li Luo's words, and her heart was struck violently as well, because during all that time apart, it was not only Li Luo who had been missing her.

Wasn't she, too, thinking of him every single moment—wondering whether he was doing well all alone in the Li Li Tianwang branch? Whether anyone was bullying him?

Endless warmth spread within Jiang Jiang Qinge's heart, causing the countenance that was always composed and fierce before outsiders to grow gentle.

"After not seeing each other for a while, you've learned quite a few words to make people happy, haven't you?" Jiang Jiang Qinge said with a soft laugh.

The moment her words fell, she saw Li Luo suddenly lean his body toward her, and his face rapidly enlarged in her eyes.

Before she could react, she felt a soft, burning touch at her lips.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's pupils dilated slightly.

The light phase power on her body suddenly flared, almost bursting out by conditioned reflex, but in an instant she forcefully suppressed it. Although Li Luo's strength had improved greatly now, if her peak Da Tian Xiang Jing power were to erupt, it would likely grievously injure him on the spot. Jiang Jiang Qinge had no desire to create a tragedy the moment they had just reunited.

And while her thoughts were turning, Li Luo, having succeeded in his sneak attack, darted back like lightning, smacking his lips with a satisfied look, as if savoring the finest delicacy in the world.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's gaze turned icy, and the heavy sword in her right hand slowly rose.

Li Luo quickly defended himself: "When feelings run deep, a small greeting gift!"

"A greeting gift? Is that all you've got?" Jiang Jiang Qinge said with a cold laugh.

Li Luo was about to speak when he saw Jiang Jiang Qinge suddenly rise slightly, then lean forward. At the same time, her left hand directly grabbed his collar, dragging his entire person a little closer.

And while Li Luo was still a bit dazed, Jiang Jiang Qinge's exquisitely beautiful cheek, carrying a faint fragrance, had already drawn close. The next instant, their lips pressed together.

The soft touch caused both their bodies to tremble sharply, as if an electric current flowed through them.

This time, it was no longer a touch-and-go.

A tempting flush rose on Jiang Jiang Qinge's Bai Xi cheeks. Although her earlier demeanor had been bold and dashing, at this moment she seemed at a loss as to how to end it.

Then she intended to retreat.

But Li Luo chuckled inwardly—now that you've come, how could I possibly let you go so easily?

So he casually grasped Jiang Jiang Qinge's slender wrist that was holding his collar. It felt smooth and tender in his hand, like the finest jade, impossible to put down.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and forcibly pried open her rosy lips, then invaded with an unbridled posture, beginning to storm the fortress.

And facing Li Luo, who had suddenly become domineering, Jiang Jiang Qinge, who was always strong and fierce, seemed at this moment to appear somewhat weak, constantly dodging and yielding.

But this yielding only made Li Luo wildly delighted. He exuded his mighty vigor, fiercely bullying that tender pink tip, greedily sucking the sweet nectar.

Jiang Jiang Qinge, I didn't expect you'd have a day of meekly bowing your head!

Jiang Jiang Qinge's lily-white, tender earlobes were now tinged with pink, but her rigid body gradually grew soft. The emotions she had been suppressing burst forth completely, no longer wanting any concealment.

Thus, Li Luo discovered that the tender tip that had just been timidly dodging was now actively meeting him.

Li Luo's heart grew hot, and he too poured out his longing without restraint.

When feelings run deep, they can no longer be restrained.

In the silent great hall, bright specks of light drifted, while a man and a woman seemed to have frozen into an exquisitely beautiful oil painting.

At this moment, outside the great hall, urgent sounds of breaking wind rang out.

One figure after another suddenly landed, bursting through the great hall's main doors.

And then they witnessed the scene of the man and woman in the hall kissing deeply with affection, and so everyone fell into a stupor.

"That's... Jiang Jiang Qinge?!"

Yin Yue Zhiyu, Wang Kong, and some other students of the Holy Light Ancient Academy recognized at a glance the identity of the exquisitely beautiful girl in the great hall, and then their pupils couldn't help but quake.

The girl who had been worshipped like a goddess in their Holy Light Ancient Academy was, at this moment, locked in a deep kiss with Li Luo!

Yin Yue Zhiyu's expression turned strange, and then she looked at Wei Chonglou beside her. The latter's eyes were blood-red, his entire body trembling, his palms clenched together tightly.

His breathing was Coarse and Heavy, like an ox's.

The jealousy and fury erupting from his eyes were almost taking tangible form.

Yin Yue Zhiyu thought that at this moment, perhaps all it would take was for some outsider to slightly stir up his negative emotions, and this Wei Chonglou might transform on the spot.

There was no helping it—who could blame them, when the scene before their eyes was so utterly shocking.

And from this, one could also see that Jiang Jiang Qinge and Li Luo were truly engaged, and the feelings between them were deeper than one could imagine.

No wonder Jiang Jiang Qinge would say that all the men in the world were mere weeds compared to him; it was because her heart already belonged to someone, so naturally she paid no heed to other men.

"So that's Jiang Jiang Qinge? She's really beautiful indeed."

Feng Lingyuan and the others, however, had a different mindset. On the contrary, they felt a certain shared honor that Li Luo had managed to pluck the most dazzling pearl of the Holy Light Ancient Academy. Although Li Luo was not a student of their Tianyuan Ancient Academy, at least during this mission he counted as one of their members.

Those shaken by the scene before them were not only them. At this moment, on the broken dome of this great hall, figures were also descending one after another.

The leader was none other than Wu Changkong.

He stood at the high place, casting his gaze down, and his face turned extremely gloomy. Terrifying phase power fluctuations rose around him, but were quickly and forcibly suppressed.

Wu Changkong forced himself to look away, rage and unwillingness surging within.

Beside Wu Changkong, a close underling spoke up indignantly on his behalf, saying sourly: "This Li Luo, what right does he have to have such an outstanding fiancée like Jiang Jiang Qinge?"

"Just because of his Li Li Tianwang branch background? Because he carries three phases? Because his Tianzhu slays Tian Xiang Jing? Because of his exceptionally handsome looks? Because—"

Before he could finish, he saw Wu Changkong's gaze, fierce enough to devour a man, shoot toward him.

"Shut up!"

"Ah? Got it, Boss!"
