Rest in a Demon's Embrace [BL]

135 Qin and Luo

The lady took a deep breath of relief when she saw that he accepted her request. Her eyes were looking at him as if he was a great treasure that she had just come across.

Luo Xiao felt a little uncomfortable as he saw her heated gaze, but suddenly he felt a gentle hand that wrapped itself around his palm and squeezed lightly.

The gentle touch made Luo Xiao relax slightly, and he nodded his head to show that he was okay.

The woman was about to find a bowl in her storage treasure when she hesitated for a moment. “Do you want to use your bowl and water?” she asked tentatively. “I do not want you to feel as if I have used any unethical methods to cheat you. If you use your own tools, then I guess that it should be much more reliable?”

Luo Xiao was taken back by her frankness, and he looked at Jiang Yao. The demon prince contemplated for a moment before he nodded his head and took out two things from his storage pouch.

One was a bowl made from jade, and the other was a jade bottle.

He then placed the bowl on the ground and poured the water into it. Looking at the water, Luo Xiao was feeling complicated emotions in his heart. He did not know why he felt like this, but he knew that if he truly had a blood relation to this woman, then his life would change.

“Xiaoxiao, don’t worry.” The voice of Jiang Yao sounded behind Luo Xiao. “I am here; no matter what result appears, you will always have me.”

The tenderness and affection within Jiang Yao’s eyes could not be ignored, and the woman was stunned when she noticed the subtle change in the young man’s demeanor. It seemed that he had already found his most important person.

.....

Thinking of this, the woman felt both gratified, but also sad. She had been searching for her brother for a long time, and she had never expected that what she found instead, was likely to be a nephew.

She cut her finger, and a drop of blood fell into the bowl. Luo Xiao glanced at the blood in the bowl and dropped his own into it. The two drops were floating in the water with some distance between them; however, after a few moments, they slowly began moving towards one another.

Without anyone touching the bowl, the two blood drops began merging until they turned into one bigger drop that was floating in the water, shining with a red hue.

Looking at this, the woman was feeling excited, but also guilty. She looked at the young man with hesitation.

Luo Xiao, on the other hand, was feeling very complicated. He had grown up alongside the man he considered his father. He had always revered him, and felt as if he was his only kin in this world, but now reality proved that this man actually did not have any connection to him?

He suddenly felt lost and uncomfortable. For what reason had that man raised him then? He did not doubt that the man had cared for him; he had honestly treated him well, and had always cared for him.

For him, this man would always have the role of a parent, but he was also somewhat curious as to why he had ended up alongside this man in such a remote and barren village.

The woman waited for Luo Xiao to fully digest the fact that he was not related to the man who had raised him. When she saw that his pale face slowly regained color, she sighed in relief.

“Dearest, I am quite sure that I know who your mother is,” she said with a gentle but sad expression on her face.

“My brother, your father, is from the Qin family. His name is Qin Jingchen, and mine is Qin Zhaolu. Your father’s name means Calm Morning, while mine means Morning Dew.

“The Qin family and the Luo family have been at odds for generations; many thousands of years have been spent trying to outdo the other.

“My brother was always talented, but because of his calm and careful character, he never stood out much, neither in the family, nor in the rest of Jianghu.

“One day, he came home and requested for the patriarch to allow him to marry Luo Caihong. She was the most beautiful woman in Jianghu; she was also the most talented genius of the Luo family in that generation.

“He was refused by the patriarch. I am not sure what happened later, but Luo Caihong vanished from everyone’s sight, no one knows where she went, and my brother has been looking for her ever since.” ????????????r????α????.????????????

“It has now been some years since he last returned home, and I have gone out to find him. I found a cave which had an overwhelming amount of remnant dragon energy, and when I went there, my aura pearl found your trace.”

Qin Zhaolu looked at Luo Xiao with affection. Her maternal love was bursting in her heart as she pitied the boy who had been left alone for so many years.

She looked gratefully at Jiang Yao and knew that this man was incredibly important to him. Fortunately, he had found a partner who seemed to be rather strong, so the two of them would be able to ascend together at some point, but she still worried about Luo Xiao.

Looking at him, his body seemed frail, and his cultivation base was not that high. She could not help but frown. Had he not inherited his parent’s talent?

Jiang Yao seemed to know her thoughts, and he signed while gently patting Luo Xiao’s head. “His strength had been sealed,” he said gently. “He was not capable of cultivating until recently, and he owns an Astral Soul.”
