Chapter 0819: Qin Yi
Qin Yi's looks took even Li Luo by surprise despite his plethora of "battle experience" in dealing with beauties. Amongst all those that he had encountered, the only one who could surpass this fairy was Jiang Qing'e.
But a pretty face wasn’t everything.
He quickly retracted his gaze and regained his sense of calm.
"Your willpower is pretty impressive," remarked Lu Qingmei in surprise upon seeing how quickly he had recomposed himself.
The fact was that countless guys were still staring dumbfoundedly at the ethereal beauty bathed in moonlight who was akin to the goddess of the moon.
Li Luo, who was only momentarily taken aback, was a far cry from those lustful individuals who were completely lost in their own imaginations. He basically treated her as nonexistent after that quick glance.
As a result, Lu Qingmei was left in astonishment at Li Luo's state of mind. Qin Yi was a heaven-toppling beauty, and even she felt a sense of appreciation towards her beauty despite being of the same gender.
"I've seen many beauties, and so my resistances are great," Li Luo honestly replied.
Lu Qingmei was a little dumbfounded by his frankly outlandish reply. "You're really an expert in bragging. With how gorgeous Qin Yi is, there are few who can compare even in the inner divine continent. Just where did you see these other beauties?"
"One man's meat is another man's poison. I don't like her sort of pampered and tender beauty. In my eyes, she's not as good as you, Banner Leader Qingmei," Li Luo frankly replied.
After which he turned and glanced at the individual in question who was dressed in her combat clothes neatly. She was not dressed as luxuriously, but she was no less impressive in her own right.
Lu Qingmei glared dangerously at Li Luo. "Don't speak to me so frivolously."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I'm simply praising you," Li Luo helplessly replied.
"If you want to praise me, why don't you try out my glazed glass rod instead? I think that would bring me a lot more pleasure."
Li Luo was a little speechless. Lu Qingmei was indeed a special girl. Compliments that pleased most girls were worthless on her. In addition, she was completely immune to his handsome charms, and the only reason she was even speaking to him was because of his third realm dual resonance power.
"Banner Leader Lu Qingmei, are you planning to obtain a Coiling Dragon Pillar during the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool?" Seeing that his compliments had fallen on deaf ears, Li Luo moved on and directly changed the topic.
Lu Qingmei was lost in thought for a few moments before replying, "The benefits from obtaining a Gold Coiling Dragon Pillar are substantial. I will definitely compete for it."
Li Luo smiled. "Well, Li Qingfeng has already assumed that it belongs to him."
"Then we will let him try. The stronger one will take it. I haven't exchanged blows with him properly in some time." Lu Qingmei held no fear towards him and was instead itching for a fight.
Li Luo sighed deeply and smiled. "I was wondering, are you interested in joining hands and eliminating him if the opportunity presents itself?"
These words caused her beautiful eyes to shrink a little, and she glared at Li Luo yet again. "You have a wild heart... Planning to set your sights upon Li Qingfeng?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Li Luo grinned.
Lu Qingmei shook her head. "It will not be that easy. The Dragon's Blood Lineage's four banners all obey him, and they will spend all their effort to protect him. Meanwhile, the Dragon's Fang Lineage doesn't possess the same sense of solidarity, right?"
Li Luo shrugged his shoulders. Li Fengyi and Li Jingtao would definitely do their best to assist him, but Deng Fengxian was someone he truly could not control. This was something that Lu Qingmei knew as well.
However, he was also trying to test Lu Qingmei's attitude towards this. If the other party had no intention whatsoever to form an alliance, there was nothing he could do.
As the two spoke, Qin Yi entered the golden palace and the crowd enthusiastically ushered her in. The atmosphere seemed to be heating up.
The countless youths present were not only the geniuses from the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages, but also from other esteemed powers who were invited. They all did their best to exhibit themselves in front of Qin Yi in numerous ways, much like a roost of peacocks spreading their tails to court a partner without any form of restraint.
This display was something Qin Yi was well acquainted with. Her beautiful face held a trace of a smile that didn't seem to alienate anyone, but neither did it give a sense of closeness.
Li Luo similarly glanced towards Li Fengyi, who had beckoned towards him from a corner at this time.
He gave his regards to Lu Qingmei before turning to leave, walking towards Li Fengyi.
She was surrounded by a circle of young and pretty girls. They seemed to be her close confidantes, and all of them were a little older than him.
When Li Fengyi saw Li Luo approach, she directly grabbed his hand and dragged him over whilst smiling at all the ladies who were looking at him with starlit eyes. "Ah, this is my little brother, Li Luo. He's Third Uncle's son, and although he's only been back from the outer divine continent for three months, he's already the Banner Leader of the Green Nether Banner. He also surpassed Li Jingtao's record in the Fiendish Devil Cave. Soon, he will catch up to me."
Although her words were casual, there was an undisguisable pride in her voice.
The ladies around them were also in high positions in the other lineages with relatively high personal standings as well. Thus, they looked at Li Luo with a hint of curiosity, especially at his handsome face. Even when compared to the other geniuses in the golden palace, he would be considered to be one of the best.
Because of their identities, some had not joined the Twenty Banners, and with how vast the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages' were, there were numerous other places they could be posted to.
They were in a similar social circle as Li Fengyi and thus, comparisons between them were unavoidable at times.
And now, she had suddenly brandished her younger brother all of a sudden, completely out of the blue.
"Li Luo, you look quite young. I assume you don't have a girlfriend, do you? Does this elder sister need to introduce someone to you? There are countless beauties in the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages. If you're interested, even I can suffice." A lady dressed in red smiled as she attempted to tempt him.
This was faced with a helpless smile. He naturally expected this after being thrown into a circle full of hungry cougars. He was very confident in his own outer appearance after all.
"Don't fantasize wantonly. He's already engaged to a dazzling girl that is no worse than Qin Yi." Li Fengyi hurriedly protected her little brother. Although she had never really seen this fiancee, it wasn't a crime to brag.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Haha." Some of the girls around her did not believe in these words, only laughing. Li Fengyi seemed to have been bragging a little too hard.
"However, Li Luo, although the Green Nether Banner's progress has been rapid, your personal strength remains in the Greater Fiend Palace Tier. Frankly, you're the weakest Banner Leader amongst the Twenty Banners. Thus, you need to improve yourself personally. The Green Nether Banner is an external strength that does not belong to you. When you eventually leave the Green Nether Banner, you will have to rely on yourself," the beautiful lady in red attentively stated.
It could be seen that she was chiding him with good intentions. She clearly a good relationship with Li Fengyi, as there was no trace of mockery within her words.
Li Luo listened and nodded with a smile. "I will do my best, Elder Sister."
"Good boy. Elder Sister is the Deputy City Lord of Northcloud City. Come visit me when you're free to have some fun." She had alluring eyes shaped like crescent moons, and she couldn't help but to reach out and stroke Li Luo's gray hair.
However, her hand was swatted away by Li Fengyi just as quickly. "Li Lanyin, don't take advantage of people!"
"Don't be petty. You should loan your wonderful younger brother to me for some fun," the red-robed Li Lanyin retorted.
The two then started to argue noisily.
At this point in time, the atmosphere seemed to have risen in intensity and excitement as countless individuals surged towards a flat platform by the lake. The ones leading were none other than Li Qingfeng, Li Hongli, and Qin Yi, the main characters of this stage.
Li Fengyi and Li Lanyin temporarily stopped their bickering as they similarly lightly pouted upon this sight.
"Li Qingfeng is really putting in some effort."
"What is he trying to do?" Li Luo asked.
Li Lanyin shrugged.
"What else can he do? He is going to pick the lotus seed for the beauty of the night."
