Chapter 1612: Li Lingjings Information
In the room, Li Luo stared at the newcomer in complete surprise, clearly not expecting to see Li Lingjing. It had been three years since they parted ways in the World’s End River Region. He hadn't thought that their reunion would take place here, in the old manor in the City of Southwind. This situation felt completely outlandish to him.
Furthermore, Li Lingjing had undergone yet another transformation. Black snake scales covered most of her skin, giving her a devilish appearance. Her eyes looked detached and merciless, like those of a venomous snake.
Her resonant power undulations carried a gloomy, ominous aura. It was as though she were essentially an Other.
Li Lingjing's dark eyes met Li Luo's shocked expression. Her eyelids lowered slightly, and a flicker of emotion arose from the depths of her heart. She couldn't help but step back, wishing to shrink into the shadows and vanish. However, Li Luo moved forward, reaching out to grab hold of her scaly wrist. It was cold to the touch, and he could sense the energy of corruption surging from her, attempting to contaminate him. Still, he disregarded the corrosive effect and looked at her beautiful but chilly face.
"Cousin Lingjing, have you been well?" he asked tenderly.
Li Lingjing locked eyes with him. It was clear that he was deeply concerned for her, causing her to relax slightly. She gave a small nod and said, "I'm fine."
She then broke free from Li Luo's grasp and placed her palms together, absorbing all of the ominous energy around them.
"You shouldn't touch me. You'll be corrupted," Li Lingjing coolly explained.
"If that’s what it takes to help you return to your former self, I'm more than willing to try. I'm quite resistant to corruption after all. Cousin Lingjing, are you sure you don't wish to try changing your fate? I'll help you find a solution."
