Chapter 26

Everyone present was entranced by Jun Xiaoyao's appearance and demeanor.

All the women gazed at him with adoration, as if their souls had been captured by the handsome and ethereal young man before them.

Jun Xiaoyao seemed like a celestial being descended to earth, his aura so transcendent and otherworldly.

"Is this the divine son of the Jun family? A hundred hearsays are not as good as one sight; he truly is a divine being..." Everyone marveled in their hearts.

Amidst this silence, a delicate voice suddenly rang out.

"Wow, wow, wow, are you the divine son of the Jun family, Jun Xiaoyao?"

A graceful and charming girl exclaimed, her bright eyes sparkling, and a trail of clear saliva dripping from her tender, red lips.

"Hmm, who are you?"

Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow and looked at the graceful and charming girl.

The first impression was...

Short.

That's right.

Although Jiang Luoli had bright eyes and a charming smile, with dimples appearing on her cheeks when she laughed, her figure was quite petite, standing at about 1.5 meters tall.

"My... my name is Jiang Luoli..." Jiang Luoli's face turned slightly red.

"Jiang Lolita?" Jun Xiaoyao tilted his head slightly.

"No... it's Jiang Lolita, no, no... it's Jiang Luoli..." Jiang Luoli's face turned red, and her words became incoherent.

Jun Xiaoyao suddenly understood.

She must be from Mother Jiang Rou's family.

Thinking of this, Jun Xiaoyao smiled at Jiang Luoli and said, "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for gracing us with your presence at the banquet."

Puff!

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's handsome face, enveloped in a divine glow and smiling faintly, Jiang Luoli felt a tingling sensation all over, as if she had been struck by Cupid's arrow.

For someone like her, who was a "face dog," Jun Xiaoyao's appearance hit all her excitement points.

This was truly a god-like beauty.

Beside her, Jiang Shengyi, looking at her nephew with a face that was almost inhumanly handsome, felt a slight tremor in her heart.

She had originally intended to tease Jiang Luoli, but now she was also somewhat stunned.

The moment she saw Jun Xiaoyao, a vague and indescribable emotion welled up inside her.

Her innate Dao Tais body type even had a faint sensation of being stirred.

"What's happening..." Jiang Shengyi was startled, touching her slightly flushed, fair face.

"Xiaoyao, come over here. This is Mother's distant cousin, your aunt, Jiang Shengyi."

"And Luoli, she is the pride of our Jiang family, a perfect match for you to get to know better."

Jiang Rou smiled and beckoned Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.

So the short little girl was the pride of the Jiang family that Mother Jiang Rou and Father Jun Zhantian had always talked about, the one they wanted him to marry.

"Aunt." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

"That's an old-fashioned way to address me. Call me Sister."

Seemingly to hide her inner turmoil, Jiang Shengyi put on a relaxed demeanor, showing her pearly teeth and a charming smile as she teased.

At the same time, she was observing Jun Xiaoyao, trying to figure out his constitution.

Jiang Luoli, from the moment Jun Xiaoyao appeared, had been blushing.

The usually lively and cheerful girl now felt somewhat restrained.

This scene, observed by the other guests, made them all sigh.

It seemed that the pride of the Jiang family was already smitten.

Face dogs were indeed so shallow!

At one of the seats, Ye Xingyun, seeing the blushing Jiang Luoli, was so angry that his body trembled, his face turning ashen.

"How could this happen?" A dark cloud gathered between Ye Xingyun's brows.

To be honest, he didn't really want to provoke Jun Xiaoyao.

But seeing this scene, Ye Xingyun felt deeply hurt.

Jiang Luoli was the woman he had set his sights on.

Apart from his appearance, Ye Xingyun believed that in terms of talent, strength, and family background, he was not inferior to Jun Xiaoyao.

Moreover, in the Fallen Moon Secret Realm, he had some interaction with Jiang Luoli.

But now, Jun Xiaoyao, without doing anything, had almost made Jiang Luoli fall for him just with his looks.

Was there any justice in the world?

Is being handsome that great?

On the other side, Jun Zhangjian sighed, "It's only been a few years, and Cousin Xiaoyao has already grown to this level."

Jun Zhangjian was now somewhat relieved that he hadn't offended Jun Xiaoyao back then and had instead presented the Yuan Tian Supreme Order to befriend him.

That could be considered the wisest decision Jun Zhangjian had ever made.

Beside him, Jun Xuehuang gazed at Jun Xiaoyao, her ice-blue eyes momentarily losing focus.

However, she wasn't like Jiang Luoli, a complete face dog.

"This divine son is indeed as renowned, his aura impossible to fathom." Jun Xuehuang shook her head slightly.

Jun Xiaoyao was enveloped in a divine mist, making him hard to see through.

They also noticed Jun Wanjie from the corner of their eyes.

From the moment Jun Xiaoyao appeared, Jun Wanjie's gaze had been fixed on him.

His eyes held a hint of scrutiny and coldness.

Clearly, Jun Wanjie, born into a collateral branch and treated with disdain, was extremely displeased with the core branch's prodigy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Why should I have to struggle to get what you are born with?

"Looks like Cousin Wanjie is not too fond of Cousin Xiaoyao..." Jun Zhangjian murmured.

"To be honest, I'm a bit envious of this divine son's status and treatment." Jun Xuehuang shook her head.

Fortunately, Jun Wanjie was only watching coldly and hadn't taken any action.

The banquet then officially began.

Most people's attention remained on Jun Xiaoyao.

The princess of the Great Shang Kingdom gazed at Jun Xiaoyao with adoration but shook her head and whispered softly.

"Your Highness, I am not worthy of the divine son..."

Her words shocked many of the surrounding powers.

The famous princess of the Great Shang Kingdom actually considered herself unworthy of the divine son of the Jun family?

"Who knows how much strength the divine son of the Jun family really has? Perhaps he's just a pretty face."

At this moment, a low voice spoke, heard by only a few people who looked over.

"It's the Star King Body of the Ye family..." Some people's eyes flashed.

Was this a subtle expression of dissatisfaction?

But the divine son of the Jun family didn't seem to have provoked him.

"Master, you must not speak rashly!" The old servant beside Ye Xingyun's face changed, speaking in a low voice.

"Hmph..." Ye Xingyun's expression turned even darker.

As a proud prodigy of the ancient Ye family, was he not even allowed to speak a word?

Here, Jiang Rou was introducing Jiang Luoli to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Xiaoyao, you're not young anymore. It's time to think about giving your mother a grandson," Jiang Rou smiled.

Jun Xiaoyao, hearing this, felt a bit embarrassed.

Not young at all.

Although Jun Xiaoyao looked tall and like a teenager of about fourteen, he was actually only ten years old.

Moreover, looking at the little girl Jiang Luoli, Jun Xiaoyao had no feelings at all.

If he really had to marry her, he would feel like he was committing a crime.

Jiang Luoli, on the other hand, kept her face slightly red and dared not look directly at Jun Xiaoyao.

"Tsk, tsk, who said that even if they had to die or jump off a mountain, they would never agree to an arranged marriage..." Jiang Shengyi smiled mischievously and teased.

"Sister Shengyi, don't say that! When did I ever say such a thing!" Jiang Luoli puffed out her cheeks, shaking her head like a rattle drum, hurriedly denying it.

As long as I don't admit it, it means I never said it.

"But he is the handsomest person I've ever seen..." Jiang Luoli secretly swooned in her heart.

Now she felt that an arranged marriage might not be so bad.

Yes, it's really fragrant!

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao and Jiang Luoli together, Ye Xingyun was almost driven mad with jealousy.

Slam!

Ye Xingyun's wine glass hit the table heavily.

The entire hall suddenly fell silent.

"Divine son of the Jun family, I am Ye Xingyun of the ancient Ye family. May I have the honor to exchange a few moves with the divine son?"
