Rest In A Demon’s Embrace

Chapter 134 - Parents

Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao were still moving through the forest, while Little Gold was frolicking in the surroundings. Luo Xiao had initially assumed that Little Gold was a boy, but after it had woken up, Jiang Yao, and the little dragon itself, had informed him of her gender.

She was a cute and adorable little dragon, and whenever Luo Xiao's eyes landed on her, they turned soft. While Luo Xiao loved Jiang Yao, they were a pair of lovers, while Little Gold gave him the feeling of family that he had missed for a long time.

The death of Luo Xiao's father still held a deep meaning on him, and the scars in his heart would take many years to mend, but while he still missed the man who had raised him and gone through difficulties for his sake, he knew that he had to live life to the fullest. His deceased father would definitely want him to be happy.

The two had almost left the forest when they heard a strange sound behind them. Turning around, they saw a very beautiful woman, who seemed as if she was a fairy who had descended to the mundane world.

Cultivators were very rarely ugly. Due to the essence of the heavens and the earth, most of them were attractive, but this woman was even more ethereal than most.

Luo Xiao narrowed his eyes, while Jiang Yao became alert and vigilant. His eyes were flashing with hostility as he stepped in front of Luo Xiao, hiding the youngster behind him. He could see that the woman's eyes were not moving from his face, shock evident in her eyes.

"Who... Who are you?" the woman could not help but ask, her voice was trembling, and she hesitatingly took a step forward.

Jiang Yao's expression turned grim. He was at the peak of the continent, but he found that he could not even see the realm of the woman in front of him, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

The woman noticed the ugly expression on Jiang Yao's face. She glanced at his cultivation rank, and was somewhat surprised. This was not the first time she came to this continent, but it was the first time she had found someone who had reached the limits of the realm.

Glancing behind him, she found that she could no longer see the face of the youngster in white, but it did not make her heart beat slower. His facial features were imprinted in her mind, and it had caused such great shock to her that she was not sure what to do.

Jiang Yao slowly relaxed. He found that this woman was not hostile towards them, but her eyes were a bit uncomfortable.

"I am Jiang Yao, the Seventh Demon Prince of the Demon Empire. My companion is named Luo Xiao."

The woman did not care for Jiang Yao's name or identity, but her already shocked expression turned even more surprised upon hearing his name.

"Luo... Luo Xiao?"

By now, it was evident that Luo Xiao was the cause of her shock and disbelief. Little Gold could sense the complicated atmosphere and hurried back. She was so swift that she had managed to enter the contractual space before the woman noticed what kind of beast she was.

"Luo Xiao, where are your parents?" The woman asked with a trembling voice. Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao exchanged glances before the younger man took a step forward.

"I do not know my mother," he said thoughtfully, "but my father has died."

"You knew your father?" the woman asked with a frown. How could this be?

"I did," Luo Xiao nodded his head. "I lived with him until he was killed by a corpse puppet."

The woman's frown deepened as she looked at Luo Xiao. Then she found the same small pearl which had been used before, and a strange blue aura erupted from the pearl and Luo Xiao's body at the same time.

"That can't be..." the woman muttered to herself. She glanced at the pearl, but the aura did not diminish.

"Are you sure that he was your father?" The woman asked again, but her question made both Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao frown. Seeing that they had become somewhat displeased, she quickly explained.

"You resemble my brother very much. He has been searching for someone for more than fifteen years, and we do not know where he has run off to."

"You think that I am your brother's son?" Luo Xiao was not dumb. He could understand the thoughts as soon as the woman mentioned her brother, but he felt somewhat confused. How could he not know who his father was?

The woman hesitated for a bit; then she nodded her head. "If you can, would you be willing to do a blood drop test with me?"

The blood drop test was quite simple. One would take a bowl with water, and each person would let a drop of blood fall into it. If the two drops merged, they were related by blood, but if they did not, then they were not related.

Luo Xiao had, in fact, never done this test with his father, and he could not help but hesitate. Was there something he did not know about his heritage?

Jiang Yao gently placed a palm on his shoulder to support him. No matter what he chose, the demon prince would always be on his side.

Sensing the support from Jiang Yao, Luo Xiao took a deep breath before he nodded his head. "Okay," he said. "I am willing to try."
