Rest in a Demon's Embrace [BL]

94 The Tree Princes

Everyone who saw this sight was filled with shock and disbelief. The famous seventh demon prince had not liked women but tender young men?

If they had given him a young man, would he have said yes, where he usually disregarded the women that were sent to him?

What they did not know was that Jiang Yao was in love. He was not with Luo Xiao because his taste was tender young boys, but because it was Luo Xiao.

Usually, he would never have paid attention to others, but this youngster had caught not only his attention when they met the first time, but also his heart.

Having fallen in love, he was not willing to let go, and he was proud of his Xiaoxiao, so even when he held his hand like this, a smile was evident on his lips, the smile filled with pride.

Luo Xiao was embarrassed. He had never thought that Jiang Yao would hold his hand like this, but since he had decided to be with Jiang Yao, he would slowly grow up and become a person that could stand by his side. A person who could protect his loved ones.

He would never not admit that he was Jiang Yao’s lover, it was something he took pride in, albeit it made him very embarrassed to say so.

While they were walking, a figure was standing in the shadows of one of the buildings. He was observing the two leaving together, his brows furrowed and his face scrunched up in displeasure.

This person was Jiang Bai. He had always looked up to Jiang Yao the most, and when he saw Luo Xiao, he felt that this youngster was not worthy of his older brother.

.....

Yet now, when he saw them walk hand in hand, he felt empty in his heart. It was as if someone had carved a hole in his chest and taken out his heart, leaving a bleeding wounding and aching gap.

Jiang Bai was not dumb. By now, he was fully aware of his emotions for the younger boy, and he was uncomfortable about it.

What was he supposed to do with these feelings? When he looked at Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao, he could see the adoration in both their faces. When he saw them hold hands like this, he could see their love for one another.

He was not so cheap as to try and go in between a loving couple, but he was still unable to hold back the strange feelings that were welling up within him.

He partly hoped that Jiang Yao would do something to let Luo Xiao down, so that Luo Xiao would leave him, maybe even become Jiang Bai’s new lover.

Having that thought, Jiang Bai scoffed at himself. As if Jiang Yao would ever mistreat Luo Xiao.

He then impatiently turned around, unwilling to see any more of their public display of affection.

He hoped that they would be safe on their trip, but he was not in a mood to think about what might happen between them when they were gone.

Shaking his head, he left in giant strides.

It was not only Jiang Bai who had come to see Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao off, but Jiang Luo was also present. His eyes were deep and filled with contemplation as he glanced at the retreating Jiang Bai. Was it perhaps so that this little brother of his also had an interest in the human toy by Jiang Yao’s side?

Now was not the time to act, but when Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao returned, he might be able to use Jiang Bai to cause problems if they returned.

A sinister smile spread on Jiang Luo’s face. He was going to give it his all that they did not return.

By the time Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao had left Cloudsoar City, everyone was gossiping about them. In the academy, the students were aware of who Luo Xiao’s backer was, and they were feeling horrified.

Luo Xiao had pretended to be normal, but in fact, he was anything but ordinary.

The only one who was not shocked was Jin Chuan, she was already aware of the relationship between the two, but she was slightly surprised that Jiang Yao was so much in love. ????????n????????????????.????????????

In fact, she had never seen Jiang Yao before, so she only knew him from the rumors, however now it seemed that he was not at all like the rumors said.

Whenever it had to do with Luo Xiao, he was so normal. He was filled with jealousy, love, and adoration.

Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao were well aware that their acts would shock many people, but they honestly did not care. They were together and wanted to announce it to the world. So what if others did not agree, they could do nothing about it.

As they had walked through the capital, Jiang Yao had bought a myriad of sweets that he had dumped in Luo Xiao’s arms. They were so full that he could hardly see anything.

Finally, he placed them in his storage pouch, and then he felt a bit of excitement rush in his heart. He was about to go out adventuring again.

“We are going to a city not far from Cloudsoar City,” Jiang Yao explained. “This city is called Mercenary City, and it consists mainly of mercenaries. Here most caravans appear to hire mercenaries to protect them on their journey. We will buy a slot in one of these upscale caravans and travel with them.”

Luo Xiao nodded his head. Although Jiang Yao could bring him alongside while flying, it was exhausting, and it would require a lot of effort. This way was much more straightforward.
