我的美好欲望

Cao Lanying flinched visibly when she heard her name being shouted by her angry brother, but she also felt that she could not lower herself in front of such a large audience, as she would then be mocked in the years to come.

As she pondered on how to make her brother back her up, she turned her body, and her eyes landed straight on Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao. Her mind blanked out, and her eyes widened in surprise.

She had not forgotten the horror she felt as Jiang Yao was close to murdering her before, but even this fear could not rival her excitement of meeting the man she liked once more.

She very easily ignored Luo Xiao and focused her gaze solely on the Seventh Demon Prince.

Had it not been for the special occasion and her brother being close by, she would naturally not let Luo Xiao go without being insulted and ridiculed, but she understood that now was not the time to unleash her hatred, and thus she decided to treat him as air instead.

Luo Xiao smirked slightly in amusement as he witnessed the fierce tigress turn into a soft kitten upon recognizing his lover, and he felt somewhat frustrated.

He believed in Jiang Yao and knew that there was nothing between this mentally unstable woman and him, but Luo Xiao could not help but feel uncomfortable by looking at those eyes that stared at his lover with the clear intent of trying to gobble him up.

"Mind your eyes; this man is mine."

While Luo Xiao was not willing to cause too much chaos, he was genuinely upset upon looking at Cao Lanying who seemed to be preparing to pounce onto Jiang Yao. It was clearly time to make this annoying woman understand that the Seventh Demon Prince already had a partner.

However, Luo Xiao did not expect what reactions his words would bring. Many had already guessed that the relationship between Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao was not ordinary, but hearing this young man say such domineering words, they all felt amazed and puzzled.

Jiang Yao was not an ordinary cultivator. He had an illustrious identity as the Seventh Demon Prince of the Tiansong Empire, but more importantly, his strength was only ranked below the Demon Emperor.

Such a person had to be the pride of the heavens, and he would have every reason for an arrogant temper. This temper was known to every member of the Cloudsoar City, and even most of the citizens within the entire continent had heard of the ruthless and cold Seventh Demon Prince.

Many present could not help but feel cold sweat wet their backs, as they feared the fate of this young man who dared to claim such a demon as his own man, but contrary to their expectations, Jiang Yao\'s lips rose into a brilliant smile as he heard Luo Xiao claiming him as his own.

Such a bright smile was completely in contrast to the cold character that everyone had known from the rumors, so many began wondering if this young man was truly Jiang Yao, or simply a fake. However, no one dared to act rashly, as their actions could cause everlasting sorrow in case they were mistaken.

"Where are you trying to sneak to?"

While everyone was busy staring at the gentle version of Jiang Yao, Luo Xiao\'s voice sounded once more. It was a gentle and pleasant voice, which had a slight tint of amusement and curiosity, but the words brought everyone\'s eyes back onto Cao Lanying who was attempting to slip away in the chaos.

Cao Lanying, who was being called out, could no longer control her temper. She stomped her feet in the ground and crossed her arms over her chest.

Her eyes were faintly red, but whether this was due to sadness or anger, no one really knew.

"Brother Yao, I can understand that you want to try something different, but you have to understand that this young boy is nothing more than a plaything. I am your fiance, and even the whole Cao family has decided to stand by your side, so you should not allow this kid to trouble me."

Cao Lanying continued to refer to Luo Xiao as a kid and a plaything, but although he was somewhat young, he was above the age of sixteen, which was the age where one would become an adult.

Luo Xiao was beautiful and refined, but while he still had a youthful and fresh aura, he did not resemble a child, and after being cared for by Jiang Yao for so long, and cultivating his energy, his body had also developed nicely.

While many might say that Luo Xiao was more beautiful than a woman, it was clear to all that he was a young man. He was slim and elegant, and while he was not muscular, his body still had attractive lean muscles that made him resemble a dangerous feline in the night.

However, others were not sure of the credibility of Cao Lanying\'s words.

"Do you think that the Seventh Demon Prince has sacrificed his marriage for the sake of gaining the support of the Cao family?"

Although it was not known who first asked this question, it soon spread throughout the whole audience, and many began pondering the credibility of such a rumor.

Even Cao Haolong, who was still furious, heard these words, but unlike others, he was not willing to use this rumor to pressure Jiang Yao, so he stood up and clapped his hands.

"Everyone, please do not speculate. My sister is not mentally stable, and everything she says is merely her wishful thinking. His Highness, the Seventh Demon Prince, has never had a marriage contract with my sister or with anyone else in our family, nor has he shown any interest towards her, and she has not been able to accept this, which has caused her to become obsessed."
