Chapter 426: Almost Letting Things Slip

On the corridor dappled with scattered light, Jiang Jiang Qinge's eyes widened slightly, revealing an unusually rare lapse in composure—showing just how great a shock the discovery of light resonance within Li Luo's resonance power had given her.

Li Luo was quite satisfied with Jiang Jiang Qinge's reaction, and then flashed a mischievous grin. He extended his other hand, and wood-earth resonance power gathered, condensing into a ball of light.

"Try sensing this side too."

Jiang Jiang Qinge glanced at Li Luo, then extended her finger into this ball of wood-earth resonance power.

In the past, whenever Li Luo unleashed two types of resonance power, he would use his consciousness to veil the light resonance and earth resonance, hiding them. After all, although these two auxiliary resonances' strength was nowhere near comparable to his main resonances, they could amplify the main resonances' power and resonance arts. Many of his opponents had suffered greatly from this, capsizing in a ditch.

But now Li Luo had removed the conscious veil within his resonance power, so when Jiang Jiang Qinge reached in to sense it, she quickly discovered the relatively faint... earth resonance hidden deep within the wood resonance.

"Earth resonance?"

Jiang Jiang Qinge's fine lashes blinked. She took a deep breath, and her somewhat shocked expression gradually calmed.

"Your dual resonances... each also possess an auxiliary resonance attribute?"

Li Luo smiled and nodded.

"No wonder, no wonder some of the water and wood resonance arts you perform are exceptionally powerful, and also have some special evolutions. In the past, onlookers all thought it was because of the dual resonances, but in reality it's because you also possess two auxiliary resonance attributes." Jiang Jiang Qinge said thoughtfully.

"Water and light, wood and earth... amplifying each other. Tsk, tsk, Li Luo, you hid this quite deeply."

Li Luo chuckled and said, "This secret is known only to you, Sister Jiang Qinge."

A smile also rose at the corner of Jiang Qing'e's lips. Regarding Li Luo possessing such a peculiar resonance nature, she also felt gratified and happy for him. She had believed in Li Luo's extraordinariness from the very beginning; even when Li Luo was trapped in the predicament of an "empty resonance," she was probably among the very few who believed he would not remain ordinary.

"Impressive, right?" Li Luo grinned and boasted.

The dual auxiliary resonances had always been his hidden secret, but at the right moment he did not intend to conceal it from Jiang Jiang Qinge. After all, the relationship and feelings between them, in a certain sense, truly far exceeded that of ordinary betrothed couples.

"Auxiliary resonance attributes are indeed rare, but in reality they can only serve to gild the lily. After all, in terms of the sheer volume of resonance power, they are far inferior to your two main resonances." Facing Li Luo's smugness and boasting, Jiang Jiang Qinge felt it necessary to throw some cold water on him.

But Li Luo quite agreed with Jiang Jiang Qinge's words. If the resonance power within his resonance palace were divided into ten parts, his main resonance power would occupy nearly seven or eight parts, while the auxiliary resonances would only account for two or three parts. In a certain sense, auxiliary resonance power was indeed merely supplementary.

For example, most of the resonance arts Li Luo performed were primarily of water and wood resonance attributes, while light and earth resonance power provided augmentation from within.

But if Li Luo were to perform resonance arts using light and earth resonance power, their power would be greatly diminished.

"Moreover, while auxiliary resonances are indeed rare, in terms of rarity they cannot compare to your dual resonance palace... because it's said there are some top-tier natural treasures in this world that, if refined and absorbed, can also cause a person to be born with corresponding auxiliary resonances. The Great Xia is too small after all; in the future you should encounter similar people."

"Hey hey, alright alright, I know, I won't get carried away."

Li Luo rolled his eyes. He had only been smug for a short while, and Jiang Jiang Qinge already wanted to suppress him hard. Of course, he also understood that Jiang Jiang Qinge was reminding him not to let an inflated mindset take root.

Jiang Jiang Qinge smiled and said, "So the water and wood resonance power you just fed to the dual strange poison should have had a wisp of light resonance hidden within it, right?"

After learning of Li Luo's auxiliary resonance secret, Jiang Jiang Qinge quickly understood why the butterfly poison spot, after devouring Li Luo's resonance power, had not only failed to strengthen but had instead suffered some splitting and weakening.

"Mm, light resonance has a purifying effect. But if you use light resonance to directly purify the butterfly poison spot, it will provoke its fierce resistance, and when the poison gas disperses, it will instead cause greater trouble. However, because I possess the light auxiliary resonance, I can perfectly hide a wisp of light resonance within the water and wood resonance power. So when the poison spot swallowed this resonance power, that wisp of light resonance was essentially entering its belly. Although that wisp of light resonance is faint, if it erupts from within, it can still cause it some trouble—at the very least, curbing its momentum of growing stronger." Li Luo said with a smile.

Jiang Jiang Qinge nodded slightly, then thought of something and asked, "Earlier, when the butterfly poison spot was trembling, it seemed a wisp of poison gas dispersed? Where did the poison gas go? You should know how terrifying this poison gas is—even a single wisp, if it invades the body, will still cause you tremendous harm."

Li Luo reached out and held Jiang Jiang Qinge's delicate, warm-jade-like little hand. The latter glanced at him but did not struggle. Instead, with a knowing feeling, she released a wisp of faint light resonance that flowed into Li Luo's body. Then, guided by a wisp of Li Luo's resonance power, she saw the ten resonance bubbles within his body.

The ten resonance bubbles shone like stars, storing the resonance power Li Luo used for amplification.

But among these ten resonance bubbles, one appeared extremely special.

It did not emit a dazzling glow; instead, it displayed a dark red color, and an unsettling aura emanated from within.

Within the dark red resonance bubble, butterflies seemed to flutter, and poisonous worms seemed to writhe.

It turned out that the poison gas split off from the dark red poison spot had been collected by Li Luo into a resonance bubble.

Jiang Jiang Qinge opened her eyes and couldn't help shaking her head. "I'm amazed you could think of such a method."

Upon seeing the resonance bubble containing the poison gas, Jiang Jiang Qinge understood Li Luo's plan. He intended to use this "dual strange poison" poison gas to add a sinister and powerful trump card for himself. In future battles against strong enemies, this poison gas might achieve unexpected results.

"You probably realized from the very beginning that this 'dual strange poison' was aimed at you, didn't you?" Jiang Jiang Qinge stared intently at Li Luo, because all of Li Luo's responses clearly showed preparation, not reckless action.

"Actually, when this dual strange poison first invaded my body, I was a bit panicked too. After all, this poison really is quite terrifying... but then I thought about it, and it seemed I wasn't completely without a way to respond."

"Of course, the most important thing is... this dual strange poison really does make me a little greedy."

Li Luo grinned. This dual strange poison possessed the power to threaten Tiangang General Stage experts, and right now, he was undoubtedly in desperate need of such power.

"Li Luo, don't push yourself too hard. Luo Lan Mansion still has me." Jiang Jiang Qinge said softly. How could her clever mind not know the reason Li Luo had taken such a huge risk to draw this "dual strange poison" into his body?

Li Luo turned to look at Jiang Jiang Qinge's golden eyes, which radiated a special charm, and said, "Sister Jiang Qinge, I won't let you face those pressures alone, because Luo Lan Mansion is ours."

Looking at the persistence and seriousness in Li Luo's eyes, Jiang Jiang Qinge ultimately did not continue to advise, but nodded with a smile.

"Alright then, when the time comes, we really should let the people of Great Xia see just how great a shock our young mansion master of Luo Lan Mansion can bring."

Li Luo smiled calmly.

"But there's one more thing I'd like to ask Sister Jiang Qinge for help with."

"Mm?"

"The resonance bubble is a bit thin and seems unable to seal the poison gas. My power is also a bit weak, so could you use your light resonance to enter my body and help reinforce a layer of light membrane over the resonance bubble? Otherwise, at this rate, in about a day the resonance bubble might be corroded and shattered by the poison gas, and when the poison gas spreads, I might be done for."

"......" Jiang Jiang Qinge looked at Li Luo, whose smile was gradually turning awkward, and couldn't help extending her slender fingers to gently pinch Li Luo's ear.

"So, in the end, you almost let things slip, didn't you?"
