Rest in a Demon's Embrace [BL]

Luo Xiao slowly wrested his eyes away from the festivities that were constantly ongoing on the square and muttered in approval.

He was aware that Jiang Yao was spoiling him, and he could not help but feel warm in his heart as he noticed how much care that his lover was showing him.

Although Luo Xiao was eager to experience the festive spirits, he understood the importance of the auction that day. They had prepared for it for many days, and the treasures they had picked up to be sold were all priceless.

He could not wait to see how much wealth they would be able to amass now that these extinct treasures had resurfaced once more.

At the thought of how exciting the auction hall would be, Luo Xiao once more regained his spirits and enthusiasm about the auction that would soon take place, and the gentle smile on his face turned much more sincere.

Jiang Yao\'s eyes softened with pampering as he looked at the young man by his side. The face full of life and happiness made him feel accomplished. He understood that this young man had grown up and become much more selfassured under his nurturing.

Jiang Yao truly cared about Luo Xiao, and if he had the choice, he would wish to hide this attractive man from the outside world and keep him for himself, but he also understood that Luo Xiao was not an ordinary person who would enjoy to be put under the wings of their lover.

Luo Xiao would never accept becoming an accessory, he wanted to spread his own wings and fly alongside the dragon. Together they would cause havoc in the world.

As they reached the entrance to the auction house, they noticed that the crowd had grown increasingly dense, and some even had to push their way forward to see what was happening.

Many who had gathered at the entrance did not have a ticket to enter, but they still wished to see if there were any traces of the treasures, not to mention their curiosity towards which experts had managed to snatch up an invite.

Some of the invited experts were treated with respect, and the crowd of onlookers would not dare to go too close, but others were not as lucky, and were being subject to push and pulls. Some even tried to snatch the invites that they held in their hands.

Such brazen behavior made Luo Xiao amazed, but he was lucky as his companion was Jiang Yao. No one in their right mind would try and cause problems for the seventh demon prince.

At first, the citizens did not recognize Jiang Yao, but after one person quickly retreated and whispered to his comrade, the identity became known to all, and many did not even dare to raise their heads to look at these two distinguished guests.

Luo Xiao was no longer embarrassed by this show of reverence towards his lover, instead he somewhat understood their feelings, and also felt proud of Jiang Yao\'s image in the eyes of others.

Having such a strong lover was something to make one proud, and Luo Xiao smiled happily as the two walked unhindered towards the entrance with their hands clasped together.

Even those who were disdainful towards same-sex love would never mention their views in front of such overwhelming strength, and thus they could merely lower their heads to hide the disgust in their eyes.

Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao were aware that their love was unconventional, but neither of them felt a need to hide their affection. With Jiang Yao\'s strength, no one would dare to force them into splitting up, and neither of them felt embarrassed by their affair.

To them, their love was pure and did not need to be hidden. Jiang Yao wanted the world to know that Luo Xiao was his, and Luo Xiao would never cower and hide Jiang Yao, as he, too, felt that there was nothing shameful in their relationship.

Although some would be conservative with relationships, it was a very open era, and being in an open relationship like this was not unheard of.

At the same time, their connection made many begin to wonder whether or not it would be possible for two men to get married. Marriage was usually for the sake of creating a new family, but two men would not be able to bring the family line further, so what was the point?

Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao were different from the majority of these experts. While the experts truly believed in gaining as much strength as possible, they also wished to ensure that their bloodline remained throughout the passing of time.

They wished to become a legendary figure in the eyes of their descendants and a goal for them to aim towards.

Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao were not interested in ensuring that their bloodline remained. Even before knowing of his past, Luo Xiao had never considered having children. As he grew up, his health was so bad that he might collapse at any day, and after getting stronger, he merely wished to live as long as he could alongside Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao, on the other hand, had grown up in the imperial palace and knew that family affection was not always the most desireable. He understood that family could sometimes wish to harm those who should support you, and instead of risking such a future for his children, he would rather be happy.

The two were not held down by anything, and their minds were at peace. To them, being together was the most important thing, and they also believed that they could overcome any obstacle, as long as they were true to each other, and themselves.
