Rest In A Demon’s Embrace

Chapter 192 - Most Logical Solution

Jiang Yi did not rush the other man. Although Jiang Yao's expression was ugly, and it was clear that he was against Luo Xiao pretending to be dead, there was no doubt that this Seventh Demon Prince was much more reasonable and logical than others.

"I understand that having Xiaoxiao pretending to be dead would be the most suitable solution. Not only will it let our continent avoid other groups of foreigners, it will also give him enough time to grow and mature.

"However, I cannot make this decision on my own. Although Xiaoxiao listens to me, this is something that involves his future, and I need to hear his opinion.

"He is sleeping for now, not to mention he had a very busy day, so I am not eager to wake him up to discuss himself faking his death."

Jiang Yi could understand the feelings of wanting to protect his lover when facing off against the world, but although this Seventh Demon Prince could run rampant in their Tiandi Continent, he would only be considered a talented youth at most when reaching the world above.

With his current strength, he would not be able to protect Luo Xiao against the dangers he would face, so certain things had to be said.

"I would suggest that you seriously take it into consideration. At the same time, I think the best solution would be a short separation. You are already unable to keep improving your talents when you stay here, so right now, staying by your lover's side will only delay your own progress.

"At the same time, you staying will provide even more danger for this young man, as everyone on this continent with a certain amount of power knows that the two of you are a couple.

"If you want to solve the problem in the most efficient way, then, when Luo Xiao's fake funeral has been held, you should travel to the realms above. The excuse is that you wish to dedicate your entire focus on cultivating, and no longer want to think about emotional matters, as your heart has been shattered by the loss of your lover.

"This is, naturally, heartbreaking and difficult, but you have to consider doing this to allow Luo Xiao to grow up on his own. At the same time, you will have the ability to make a name for yourself in the world above, so that when it is time for Luo Xiao to ascend, you will be able to stand by his side and protect him again."

Jiang Yi knew which words to say when trying to convince Jiang Yao, and he was sincere in his suggestions. Although he respected Jiang Yao mainly due to the care that the Emperor showed this son, he also respected his dedication and talent.

"I will speak with Xiaoxiao about it tomorrow. If you, or my father, come by tomorrow night, then we will have decided on what path to take, and we can plan the details of how to act together."

Jiang Yi nodded his head in approval and got ready to leave. He had no reason to stay now that things had been discussed. He even wished to rush to the palace to inform the Emperor of the many things he had learned this evening.

The two rapidly bid farewell, before Jiang Yao returned to the sleeping chambers. Ever since Luo Xiao came to Cloudsoar City alongside Jiang Yao, he had either slept in the prince's private room or at the academy.

For some reason, although Jiang Yao had not slept with any other people and hated the idea of others staying in his room, he had a hard time to rest if he did not have this younger man in his arms.

A long time had gone past since he first met Luo Xiao, and the previously thin and short young boy had turned into a taller and handsome young man.

Luo Xiao was no longer that short. He had begun to grow taller rapidly, and his body had also become more fleshy. Although he was not muscular, he was much more like a lean leopard that was bursting with strength beneath his skin.

He looked healthy and attractive, and even the women would fall for a man like this, so Jiang Yao was mainly worried about how many hearts he would steal while being alone on the Tiandi Continent if he were to leave.

Although Jiang Yao had no doubt about the younger man's feelings, he still did not like those others that lusted after his man.

"Since when did I get so worried?" Jiang Yao could not help but mock himself slightly as he slipped under the blankets and wrapped the young man in his arms.

At any other time, he would have never hesitated to choose the most beneficial and safest method to progress, but right now he was still hesitating.

He was selfish and greedy. He did not want to split apart from Luo Xiao. Although it would only be for a period of time, there was no doubt that it would still take years for them to unite again.

Luo Xiao had only begun cultivating when his seal broke, so he had a long road ahead of him before he was able to ascend to the realms above. If Jiang Yao had to wait many years for him to meet again, would this younger man have grown up and lost all thoughts and emotions for him by their next meeting?

Such a thought was scary, and just thinking about it made even the cold and ruthless Jiang Yao feel fearfuland even the cold and ruthless Jiang Yao was feeling fearful.
