Chapter 27 - 27: Jiang Luoli's "True Fragrance Law," Ye Xingyun's Provocation
Everyone present was dazed by Jun Xiaoyao's appearance and temperament.
All the women's beautiful eyes were transfixed, their souls seemingly captivated by this youth as handsome as an immortal.
Jun Xiaoyao was like an immortal descended to the mortal world; that temperament was too transcendent and otherworldly.
"Is this the Jun family's Divine Son? Seeing is truly believing. He is indeed a divine being..." Everyone sighed in their hearts.
And amidst this silence, a delicate cry suddenly came.
"Wow, wow, wow! You're the Jun family's Divine Son, Jun Xiaoyao?"
A spiritually beautiful young girl cried out, her lovely eyes sparkling, crystalline saliva even trickling from the corners of her tender red lips.
"Hmm, you are?"
Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow, looking at the spiritually beautiful young girl.
The first impression was...
Short.
That's right.
Although Jiang Luoli had bright eyes and pearly teeth, was petite and lovely, and even had two dimples on her jade-like cheeks when she smiled.
But her physique was rather petite, looking to be only about one meter fifty centimeters tall.
"I... My name is Jiang Luoli..." Jiang Luoli's pretty face flushed slightly.
"Jiang Loli (蘿莉 - loli)?" Jun Xiaoyao tilted his head slightly.
"No... It's Jiang Loli... no, no... It's Jiang Luoli..." Jiang Luoli's face was red and her heart pounded; she was somewhat incoherent.
Jun Xiaoyao suddenly understood.
So she was from his mother Jiang Rou's family.
Thinking of this, Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly at Jiang Luoli, "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for gracing us with your presence at this banquet."
Thump!
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's handsome face, veiled by immortal brilliance, faintly smiling, Jiang Luoli felt her whole body go numb, as if her heart had been struck by Cupid's arrow.
For a "face-con" like her, Jun Xiaoyao's appearance simply hit all her excitement points.
This was truly divine-level good looks.
And Jiang Shengyi, at the side, looking at this nephew whose handsomeness was almost inhuman, felt her heart shake slightly.
She had originally wanted to tease Jiang Luoli, but now, she herself was somewhat stunned.
Because the moment Jiang Shengyi saw Jun Xiaoyao, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.
Her Innate Dao Womb physique actually had a faint feeling of being stirred.
"What's going on..." Jiang Shengyi was startled, touching her slightly flushed, fair jade-like face.
"Xiaoyao, come quickly. This is Mother's distant cousin, your young aunt, Jiang Shengyi."
"And Luoli, she is the cherished pearl of my Jiang family. Just right for you to get acquainted."
Jiang Rou smiled, beckoning Jun Xiaoyao over.
Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.
So that short little lass was the Jiang family's cherished pearl whom Jiang Rou and Jun Zhantian had been constantly nagging him about for a marriage alliance.
"Young Aunt." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
"This address makes one sound old. You should call me sister."
As if to cover up the strangeness in her heart, Jiang Shengyi deliberately appeared relaxed on the surface, revealing her pearly teeth, her smile captivating, as she teased.
At the same time, she was also observing Jun Xiaoyao, wondering what kind of physique he possessed.
And Jiang Luoli, ever since Jun Xiaoyao appeared, her little face had been constantly flushed.
She, who originally had a playful and lively personality, actually felt somewhat reserved at this moment.
This scene, falling into the eyes of the other guests, made them all sigh with emotion.
It seemed this cherished pearl of the Jiang family had already been moved.
Face-cons who judged by looks were just that superficial!
At one of the seats, Ye Xingyun looked at Jiang Luoli's shy face, his body trembling slightly with anger, his complexion ashen.
"How could this be?" A dark cloud seemed to gather between Ye Xingyun's eyebrows.
To be honest, he actually didn't want to provoke Jun Xiaoyao.
But seeing this scene before him, Ye Xingyun felt his heart ache.
Jiang Luoli was the woman he had set his sights on.
Besides appearance, Ye Xingyun asked himself, whether it was talent, strength, or family background, he was not inferior to Jun Xiaoyao.
Moreover, he had had some interaction with Jiang Luoli in the Falling Moon Secret Realm before.
But now, Jun Xiaoyao had done nothing, yet just by his face, he had almost made Jiang Luoli fall for him.
Was there any justice in this world?
Was being handsome that amazing?
On the other side, Jun Zhangjian sighed, "Only a few years have passed, and younger clan brother Xiaoyao has already grown to this extent." n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
Jun Zhangjian was now somewhat glad that he hadn't offended Jun Xiaoyao back then, and had instead taken out the Yuan Tian Supreme Token to befriend him.
That could be said to be the wisest decision Jun Zhangjian had ever made.
And beside him, Jun Xuehuang gazed at Jun Xiaoyao, her ice-blue beautiful eyes also momentarily dazed.
However, she wasn't a complete face-con like Jiang Luoli.
"This Lord Divine Son indeed lives up to his reputation. His aura is unfathomable," Jun Xuehuang shook her head slightly.
Jun Xiaoyao's entire body was shrouded in divine brilliance and mist, making him impossible to see through.
Their peripheral vision also noticed Jun Wanjie.
Ever since Jun Xiaoyao appeared, Jun Wanjie's gaze had been fixed on him.
In his eyes, there was a faint hint of scrutiny and indifference.
Evidently, Jun Wanjie, who was born into a collateral branch and had suffered countless scornful looks, must feel extremely displeased in his heart towards this kind of direct-lineage prodigy born with a golden spoon.
Why is it that what I have to strive for, you possess innately?
"It seems Jun Wanjie is somewhat displeased with younger clan brother Xiaoyao..." Jun Zhangjian whispered.
"To be honest, even I am a little jealous of this Divine Son's status and treatment," Jun Xuehuang shook her head.
However, fortunately, Jun Wanjie was only observing coldly for now and hadn't made any extra moves.
Next, the banquet officially began.
Most people's attention remained on Jun Xiaoyao.
That Great Shang Princess gazed痴痴 (infatuatedly) at Jun Xiaoyao, but still shook her head gently and whispered.
"This princess is not worthy of Lord Divine Son..."
One sentence made many powers present feel shocked.
The widely renowned Great Shang Princess actually said she was not worthy of the Jun family Divine Son?
"Who knows how much strength that Jun family Divine Son actually possesses? Perhaps he's just an empty, handsome shell."
At this moment, a low voice spoke. Only a few people heard it and looked over.
"It's that Star King Physique from the Ye family..." Some people's eyes flickered.
Was this an implicit expression of dissatisfaction?
But it seemed the Jun family Divine Son hadn't provoked him.
"Young Master, you mustn't speak recklessly!"
Beside Ye Xingyun, the Quasi-Saint old servant's expression changed, and he said in a low voice.
"Hmph..." Ye Xingyun's expression became even gloomier than water.
He was a dignified prodigy of the Ancient Ye Clan. Couldn't he even say a single word?
Over here, Jiang Rou was pulling Jun Xiaoyao along, constantly introducing Jiang Luoli.
"Xiaoyao, ah, you're not young anymore. It's time to consider letting mother hold a grandson," Jiang Rou smiled.
Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao felt a bead of sweat.
What the hell "not young anymore"?
Although Jun Xiaoyao looked tall and slender, like a youth of fourteen or fifteen, he was actually only ten years old.
And looking at that little lass Jiang Luoli, Jun Xiaoyao truly felt nothing at all.
If they really had a marriage alliance, Jun Xiaoyao would feel like he was committing a crime.
Jiang Luoli, on the other hand, kept her little face slightly flushed, not daring to look directly at Jun Xiaoyao.
"Tsk tsk, who was it that said before, even if they died, even if they jumped off a mountain, they would absolutely not compromise on an arranged marriage..." Jiang Shengyi smiled enchantingly, teasing.
"Sister Shengyi, don't talk nonsense! When did I ever say such a thing!" Jiang Luoli puffed up her fragrant cheeks, her little head shaking like a rattle-drum, hurriedly denying it.
As long as I don't admit it, it means I never said it.
"But, he really is the most handsome person I've ever seen..." Jiang Luoli secretly swooned in her heart.
She now felt that arranged marriages seemed pretty good too.
Mm, it's "true fragrance"!
Watching Jun Xiaoyao and Jiang Luoli together, Ye Xingyun over here was about to go mad with jealousy.
Clang!
The wine cup in Ye Xingyun's hand landed heavily on the table.
The entire grand hall suddenly fell silent.
"The Jun family's Divine Son, is it? I am Ye Xingyun of the Ancient Ye Family. I wonder if I might be fortunate enough to ask the Divine Son for a pointer or two?"
