Chapter 1638: Supreme Ninth-Grade!
As Jiang Qing'e nestled in Li Luo's embrace, her cheek glued to his chest, her lips curled up in a faint smile when she heard his joke. She looked up with her brilliant eyes to inspect his youthful features from up close.
The duo had grown up together and were true childhood sweethearts. They had fought and competed against each other time and time again, with Li Luo being defeated on every occasion. After all, she was a little older than him.
When they were much younger, Li Luo often spouted determined, even harsh words, declaring that he would one day surpass her. Every time that happened, Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan would merely chuckle at their child's bold dream. Unknowingly, that boy had grown up and even started to bully her. More importantly, he had finally achieved his goal.
Li Luo's handsome face was reflected in Jiang Qing'e's bright eyes, which now brimmed with warmth and appreciation. She let him hold her, her slender body curling up in his arms.
"You're pretty amazing, Li Luo," she said gently.
As she had long grown familiar with his personality, she knew precisely what he wanted to hear. This was something he deserved after working hard year after year, so she simply basked in the moment with him.
These simple words caused Li Luo's body to tremble slightly. He felt incomparably pleased from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, almost wanting to cheer out in satisfaction. This was the moment he had been dreaming about. The proud and outstanding white swan was now obediently snuggling up to him, praising him.
He held the beauty in his arms even tighter and said in a deep voice, "You need to say that to me every single day before you break into the Transcendent Duke Stage, alright?"
Jiang Qing'e was infuriated to the point that she was amused. She had given him an inch and he had asked for a mile. She narrowed her eyes slightly, giving off a dangerous aura.
Li Luo coughed dryly and righteously replied, "I'm just pushing you so you can advance into the Transcendent Duke Stage earlier."
She rolled her eyes and then revealed a charming expression. "Why don't you deal with the Saturnine Hydra Devil King before you start thinking about that."
Oh? She didn't actually reject it? His eyes blazed with motivation and he finally put Jiang Qing'e down. Then he took a step forward and stood before her. After which, his gaze turned cold and he glared at the Devil King.
