Chapter 1107: Ning Meng

Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College.freeweb(n)ovel

The impressive pure-white square was filled with stone statues and bustling with people.

Many renowned individuals from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College walked into the square, and everyone's eyes were drawn to them.

Nonetheless, these brilliant stars appeared a little dim under the dazzling, bright moonlight.

In the center of the square stood a slender figure as resplendent as the full moon. She was simply standing there quietly, yet she radiated an immense brilliance that drew everyone's attention. They could not help but feel a little lacking in comparison as they looked at her.

She was the most spectacular star in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College over the past year. In fact, she was so brilliant that she had outshone all of her predecessors in the Heavenly Star Hall.

The Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College had taken in many talented students since its inception. Even though they did not have a ninth-grade resonance student every generation, there were bound to be some eventually. With such a high quality pool of students, it was uncommon for any gifted talent to cause a huge uproar in the college.

After all, it was a sea of heavenly geniuses.

Nonetheless, there was a new star born despite such a stringent standard. Her presence had caused a huge commotion within the whole college.

Dual ninth-grade light resonance, Jiang Qing'e. She had entered the Heavenly Star Hall upon admission into the college. In less than half a year, she had defeated her seniors and secured a seat in the Upper Hall for herself. Following that, she took part in a challenge every month and had gotten a decisive win every time. She was so dazzling that everyone had set their eyes on her. It wasn't until four months ago, when she had gotten into the top ten, that she stopped her challenges.

She had been cultivating in silence for four months, so no one had any idea how strong she was. They could only guess that perhaps, she was a match for even the top three by now.

Many students in the college had naturally become her admirers and gave her a title.

The Holy Maiden of Hallowed Coruscation, Jiang Qing'e.

In the crowded square, the warm sunlight fell onto the girl that had gotten countless secret stares from all directions. The faint glimmer of sunlight was like a veil of light around her body. Her curves were almost perfect and her delicate cheeks were like a sculpted masterpiece from the heavens. Everything was flawless.

Her long hair was tied up into a high ponytail, revealing both of her ears. At the same time, her long and graceful goose-like neck was displayed elegantly.

She wore the robes of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. Her slender and straight legs were exposed, looking as if jade light was dancing around them.

The girl stood there calmly, not bothered by the many secret gazes. Her golden eyes gave off a deep and mysterious feeling as well as an indescribable charm. Anyone that caught a glimpse was sure to fall deeply into her gaze and wake up feeling ashamed.

She was such a perfect being. Who would dare to approach her?

As everyone's eyes were on Jiang Qing'e, she was staring at the stone statues in front of her. She was thinking about her own matters deep in her heart.

"It's been a year already. I wonder how Li Luo is doing in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. As a powerhouse, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li definitely has their own little factions. I wonder if he's being bullied over there? How far has he progressed? If he's slacking off, what will we do about his five year lifespan? Once I reach the Duke Stage, I'll go look for him immediately. I'll never stop worrying if I have to leave him to his own devices."

As Jiang Qing'e was pondering about all this, a man walked out from the crowd and moved towards her.

Many people frowned when they noticed this.

"That's Senior Wei Chonglou. He's going to talk to Senior Jiang again."

"Wei Chonglou is so daring. When I look at Jiang Qing'e, I don't even dare to speak to her. Yet he's always pestering her."

"A fair lady attracts a gentleman. Jiang Qing'e is so perfect; now that we've had the chance to meet her, it'll be too much of a pity to give up just because it's challenging."

"Brother Wei is pretty good himself. He's ranked fourth in the Upper Hall. Furthermore, he's from the Central Core Divine Continent's Heavenly Emperor power. His background does not lose out to anyone else's."contemporary romance

"If they really become a couple, it'll be a fairy tale to pass down for generations in the college."

Despite the many whispers amongst the crowd, Wei Chonglou wore a light smile as he walked towards Jiang Qing'e. He stood upright with his attention-seeking, fiery-red hair. There was a burning aura around his body that exuded a faint but domineering presence. He stood in front of Jiang Qing'e and said with a smile, "Junior Jiang, this mission does not seem simple. We may have to work together and fend off the Others in the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm, and your dual ninth-grade light resonances are the natural bane of the Others."

Unlike the others, he was able to speak to her eloquently and confidently.

Jiang Qing'e's thoughts were interrupted. Her face appeared calm, but she did not look at Wei Chonglou. She casually replied, "We'll see how things go."

Although she treated him coldly, he did not mind it. He continued to chuckle by her side as he attempted to engage in small talk with her.

However, a loud and dissatisfied voice came from the back, interrupting him. "Give way."

Wei Chonglou paused for a moment as he was rudely interrupted. Nonetheless, there was no sign of frustration on his face. He hurried and gave way as he turned and looked at the person behind him. With an apologetic smile, he said to her, "Sister Meng."

A lady had arrived. She was not too tall and wore a black-and-white hooded coat. The hood covered her head and forehead with a fair and clean oval face underneath. Her eyes were always moving from side to side slowly, giving people an indolent feeling.

She held onto a cup that looked as thought it was woven from bamboo with both hands. There was a straw on top of it, and she continually sucked from it, making gulping sounds as she did so. In a way, this made her look extremely adorable.

However, Wei Chonglou's face turned serious when he noticed her. The gazes that looked over were also all full of admiration.

Ning Meng, ninth-grade Light Chaser Beast resonance. The top-ranked individual of the Heavenly Star Hall in Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College! The Light Chaser Beast was a spirit beast that adored light. It had a terrifying power that was comparable to the major races like the dragons and the phoenixes. However, there were very few of them, and they only lived in areas where light energy was extremely concentrated. As such, they were rarely seen in the outside world.

Ning Meng not only possessed the Light Chaser Beast resonance, it was a middle ninth-grade one. Someone like her had not appeared in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College for quite a number of years.

The girl named Ning Meng did not have much reaction to Wei Chonglou's greeting. Her swinging eyes locked onto Jiang Qing'e immediately.

She slowly moved her feet until she stood really close to Jiang Qing'e. A look of satisfaction appeared on her cheeks.

The Light Chaser Beast loved pure-light energy the most. As the owner of this resonance, Ning Meng had inherited this love as well. And where was she going to find a purer light energy source than the dual ninth-grade light resonance from Jiang Qing'e? Therefore, the leader of the Heavenly Star Hall had been following Jiang Qing'e around ever since she entered it. She would always gravitate to her side quietly whenever they were in the same area.

Jiang Qing'e took a look at Ning Meng. Ning Meng was still chewing on the straw, revealing a flash of her white teeth.

"Little Qing'e, do you want to have some bamboo juice?" Ning Meng held out the bamboo cup in her hand.

Jiang Qing'e shook her head. "No, thank you."

"Oh!" Ning Meng nodded. She continued to gulp down the drink in large mouthfuls. "Can I stand here for a while?"

"Up to you."

Jiang Qing'e felt a little helpless about this. She knew about Ning Meng's resonance and easy-going personality. She was usually quite lazy as well, so she did not have the arrogance one might expect from the top-ranked individual in the college. As a result, Jiang Qing'e had a good impression of her.

Wei Chonglou smiled at the side and began to attempt to banter with the two girls yet again.

Jiang Qing'e frowned a little. The incessant chatting from Wei Chonglou was getting a little irritating.

When she noticed the frown, Ning Meng swung her hand down and clenched her fist. A dark-green rod instantly appeared in her hand.

The rod looked pretty simple; it was thin at the bottom and thick at the top, like a branch that had been cut off a tree. It appeared a little messy on the surface, but mysterious runes flowed around it.

Ning Meng held up the rod and said to Wei Chonglou in a serious tone, "Stop talking. If you don't, I will give you a beating!"

Wei Chonglou's voice was stifled immediately. The smile on his face froze.

He lifted up his hands helplessly and replied with a smile, "Alright. I will do as you say, Sister Meng."

Ning Meng did indeed have an easy-going personality, but it was not her harmless face that had helped her stay at the top of the Heavenly Star Hall for so many years. She was short, but her small body contained strength that many Greater Heavenly Resonance experts feared. Wei Chonglou had seen it personally with his own eyes. Ning Meng had turned a spirit beast that had Greater Heavenly Resonance strength and specialized in defense into mincemeat with one smack of her rod. Therefore, he had to give way to her even with his domineering personality.

He had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Nonetheless, the silence did not last long. Amidst many cries, a slender and tall figure walked out of the crowd and headed straight towards Jiang Qing'e.

As they walked towards her, a cold and arrogant voice came out playfully. What this person said set off a huge uproar in the square.

"Jiang Qing'e, I've found out about your fiance."𝑓𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝒷𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝘮
