Rest in a Demon's Embrace [BL]

The sound of rustling leaves alerted both Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao as they were making their way through the dense thicket of the forest.

The two of them turned around and looked curiously at the rustling branches before a group of experts appeared.

There were seven in total, where two were soul cultivators, while the other five cultivated Qi.

Six of them were humans, and one was a beast who had taken on human shape. All of them were at the Moon Rank, and their strength was rather substantial, considering that they were not in the center of the continent.

The group stopped in their tracks as they stared at Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao. They had not expected to encounter anyone this deep within the beast ridge, and when they did, they could not help but pause and take an extra look.

Both Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao had ethereal appearances. One looked like a fairy; the other was devilishly handsome.

The group was capable of sensing Luo Xiao\'s cultivation level, but whenever they tried to observe Jiang Yao\'s, they felt that they were looking into a bottomless abyss, unable to sense even the slightest ripple.

This was only possible due to his cultivation base being much higher than theirs.

They became somewhat apprehensive as they realized that this man had a strength they could not rival. In this beast ridge, it was not only beasts that one had to be careful of. Other experts were equally dangerous, as they would rob those they came across.

Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao were equally surprised. They had not been keeping alert of their surroundings, as they were walking towards the exit of the forest once more, since the beasts that would appear here could be killed instantly with a single attack by Jiang Yao.

While Luo Xiao was here, he had intended to train. Even so, they had to reach the area where he could handle the beasts before he could fight them.

Right now, at the place where they were located, the beasts were equivalent to Moon Ranked experts; their strength was simply too overwhelming for Luo Xiao to gain anything from fighting.

While the two groups analyzed one another, Luo Xiao observed the beast without hiding his curiosity.

There were also beasts at the Cloudsoar Academy, but he had not encountered many of them, as they were taking the Qi classes.

Luo Xiao\'s curious gaze made Jiang Yao raise an eyebrow in surprise as he followed his line of sight, and then his expression darkened.

Why was his Xiaoxiao so interested in this beast? While he had a somewhat attractive face, his body was too bulky. He was rough and seemed slightly dumb. Could it be that his cute Xiaoxiao was attracted to such brutes?

Jiang Yao was already considering many stupid things when he noticed that Luo Xiao withdrew his gaze with indifference.

Luo Xiao had merely been curious about the beast, but upon seeing that he seemed to look exactly like the humans, just much sturdier, he quickly lost interest in him.

Instead, he once again was reminded that while beasts had their original form, demons also had a demonized shape.

He could not help but look at Jiang Yao as he touched his chin, deep in thought. He could not help but wonder how Jiang Yao looked when he was demonized.

Jiang Yao resembled a big question mark as he looked at the pondering expression of Luo Xiao. What was his little lover thinking about?

However, while Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao were extremely casual and carefree, the group of experts who appeared was much more alert and puzzled. What were these two doing?

Neither Luo Xiao nor Jiang Yao said anything. Somehow they ended up looking into one another\'s eyes, and a smile broke out on their lips as Luo Xiao shook his head, and they began moving forward and wanted to pass them.

However, the group of experts could not help but frown. These two were too mysterious, and while they did not want to start any trouble with them, they also did not trust that they would not turn around and harm them.

The beast, especially, felt threatened by Jiang Yao. The aura around him was so oppressive that his instincts were screaming to him about how dangerous the man was, and he dared not move.

The beast was the group leader, and the others had long since learned to understand his reactions. Seeing his taut muscles and solemn expression, they all dared not loosen their vigilance, and could only stare at Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao with great alertness.

Jiang Yao understood their reactions. He knew that places like this Beast Ridge were dangerous, and that robberies happened all the time, but Luo Xiao had been sheltered all his childhood. Now that he started seeing the world, he always had Jiang Yao by his side, so he had never encountered a case of being robbed by others.

The beast narrowed his eyes when he saw the innocent and inquiring gaze of Luo Xiao. His instincts told him that this young man was relatively inexperienced and not a threat, but the more he looked at him, the colder the surroundings got, as Jiang Yao\'s expression got gloomier and gloomier.

It did not take the beast long to realize that the demon was unhappy with the gaze that was locked on the young man, and he suddenly understood that these two should be more than just travel companions.

He knew that some men preferred to pair with other men, but he had never encountered it before, and upon realizing this, a faint blush appeared on his ears.
