Rest in a Demon's Embrace [BL]

191 Clouds are Looming

Although this woman, Qin Baixue, was also at the Saint rank and came from the realms above, she was extremely arrogant.

After arriving at the Continent of Tiandi, she had completely given up her intentions to stay alert, as she did not think that any of the experts here would be able to sneak in on her, so she did not even lower her voice as she spoke about Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao’s death.

However, what she did not know was that Jiang Yao’s supporters in charge of gathering intelligence all had one thing in common. They all controlled the element of darkness and shadows, so while their strength could not rival Qin Baixue’s, their ability to stay hidden was not to be belittled.

As such, the words she spoke were thus heard by his guards, and even transmitted straight to Jiang Yao’s office, where a recording stone was placed on the desk. ????????????????????????d.????૦????

These recording stones were very peculiar. They could transfer sound and images from one place to another, but it was impossible for those at the receiving end to return anything, so even if Jiang Yao and Jiang Yi were conversing as they witnessed Jiang Luo complaining about the survival of his seventh brother, the two people recorded did not know that everything was being directly transmitted to their victim.

Jiang Yi was not speaking. He listened to every word said throughout the conversation, and could not help but raise his eyebrow slightly. From their conversation, he could understand that the woman was only killing Jiang Yao as a compensation to the Fourth Demon Prince, her true target was the young lover that had been brought back.

“It seems that your identity might not be enough to keep a hold of your partner.” Jiang Yi was well aware that these stones could not transmit his voice to the other side, so he did not care about what he said.

Jiang Yao could not help but feel somewhat helpless and shake his head in regret. If possible, he had wanted to keep Luo Xiao’s identity hidden, but Jiang Yi was indeed too smart, and instantly guessed that he was likely to be from a true powerhouse family in the realm above.

Although Jiang Yi did not like to interfere with the lives of other people much, he could not help but glance at Jiang Yao with a bit of worry in his eyes.

.....

“Will your partner stay by your side upon knowing his background? I can imagine that when his own identity is made public, he will look down upon you.”

Although Jiang Yi was speaking for his sake, Jiang Yao still felt uncomfortable when these negative words were put on Luo Xiao’s head.

“He does not care about his heritage, nor does he care about my status. He already knows his background, and someone has already found him to inform him about the family he comes from, but he never changed his attitude towards me. Don’t worry, he will not wrong me.”

Although Jiang Yao was slightly unhappy that Jiang Yi would think about Luo Xiao in such a way, the truth was that Jiang Yi had never met Luo Xiao before, so he had nothing to base his expectations on.

As such, the words he said were simply because he worried about Jiang Yao, so he, as the one receiving the care, should not get angry. Even so, he decided to clear up the misunderstanding before it could grow any larger. Luo Xiao was never a materialistic person who would be tempted or swayed by power.

Jiang Yi looked at the Seventh Demon Prince as he stood there with his head held high and pampering light in his eyes.

He could not help but lower his head as he was thinking about his own master and his infatuated eyes whenever he was remembering his late wife.

Although he had many wives in the past, only one person could ever enter his heart. From the moment he met her and up until now, only she could make his feelings fluctuate.

Although the Emperor and Jiang Yao did not meet often, and their relationship was not the best, Jiang Yi could see that they were actually the same kind of people.

The only difference was that Jiang Yao was smarter. He knew what sacrifices he had to make if he were to become the Emperor, so he had never tried to sit on the throne, while the current Emperor only became aware of them when it was too late.

“I will inform your father about the information I have gotten just now. I assume that he would like to discuss with you in person about how to handle the woman. Your fourth brother will not be able to keep jumping around for long either.”

Jiang Yao nodded his head. He knew that they could not act rashly. Although Jiang Luo was easy to handle, the woman’s identity was something they had to consider.

Although her strength was a bit worse than Jiang Yao and the Emperor, her identity as an expert from the realms above posed a certain risk for them, so they could only plan thoroughly to ensure that she either vanished without a trace, or she returned and removed all plans about returning to their Tiandi Continent later.

“Would it be feasible to make it seem as if she has succeeded in her task?”

Jiang Yi was also aware of the danger that this Qin Baixue brought with her. She was not only a danger to Luo Xiao but she could put the entire continent at risk. The Tiandi Continent was a weaker continent, and the realms above would be able to destroy their world if they truly wished to do so.

Jiang Yao could not help but frown. He was not willing to let his lover hide and even pretend to be dead, but when considering the option, it would be the one to bring him the most protection.
