Rest in a Demon's Embrace [BL]-Chapter 202

202 Smiling Demon Sect

Luo Xiao could not help but feel distressed as he witnessed Jiang Yao’s slightly tired expression. Although he did not lie about the troubles in the upper realm, he was not willing to go into too much detail about the grievances he had suffered either, making Luo Xiao aware of how hard it was to succeed.

Even so, this was the path they had decided to take, so they had to stick with it to the end.

Luo Xiao shook his head a bit regrettably, as he approached Jiang Yao once more. He went behind the demon prince and kneeled on the bed behind him. This kind of kneeling was not the one that would be displayed in front of a noble character, but simply because it was the only way where he could perfectly reach Jiang Yao’s temples.

The soft touch of Luo Xiao’s fingertips made Jiang Yao somewhat surprised, but he quickly forgot everything as he felt the soft fingers put the perfect amount of pressure on his temples as he began to move them around, giving him a massage that slowly made his headache and worries drift away.

Luo Xiao was actually not aware of how to massage someone properly. He had been frail as young, and no one would ask him to do such things before. After meeting Jiang Yao, it was even more unlikely to learn this skill, but Luo Xiao was a soul cultivator.

What Jiang Yao was currently exhausted, it was his mind that was overloaded, and not his body. This meant that while Luo Xiao was gently pressuring his temples, he was also injecting a gentle stream of spiritual energy with the intention of lessening the pressure he felt in his mind.

Spiritual energy was a special kind of energy that was connected to the soul. Unlike Qi that focused on force, the spiritual energy was a soul cultivation that could affect the mind.

It was not only used for attacking, it could also make formations and inscriptions, but it could also be used to lessen pressure like this.

While spiritual energy was not suitable for healing physical wounds, it was very good for mental injuries.

“How long will you stay this time?” While Luo Xiao was gently massaging his temples and injecting a few strands of calming energy, he asked the question he would ask every time Jiang Yao came to visit.

“I have to leave tomorrow morning.” Jiang Yao’s voice was hoarse and low. His words were somewhat slow as he was almost dazed by the pleasure he felt as his head was becoming lighter than before.

“So soon?” Luo Xiao was somewhat disappointed when he heard that Jiang Yao would be leaving the following morning, but after considering the pressure that the demon prince was currently facing, he was no longer unhappy.

“I just wanted to see you for a bit.” Jiang Yao was also regretful that it was such a short visit, but he had already struggled hard to get even the time he had now, and he was not willing to miss any chance to see his lover.

The faction he was setting up in the upper realm was fighting for its place among the others that wanted to claim the various positions full of resources.

These areas were not magnificent enough to be in the eyes of the real powerhouses, but for the weaker sects, it was still important treasures that could help them create more talents for their factions and future.

Right now, he was at open war against a sect that had existed in the upper realm for many years already, but due to bad leadership, it had never become anything special.

Even so, the many years it had existed already gave it a certain degree of privileges when compared to a new force such as his own.

The faction he had created was called Smiling Demon Sect, taken from the two nmes Xiao and Yao. Luo Xiao’s given name, Xiao, was the character that could be translated as smile, while Jiang Yao’s given name was Demon.

When he had to decide on a name for his sect, he wanted it to show his affection for Luo Xiao, and thus he combined their names into the Smiling Demon Sect.

From the moment he had created this force, many had noticed him. Although Jiang Yao was not among the strong in the upper realm, he was not considered weak either. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

It turned out that the reason that one could not enter the upper realm before reaching a certain degree of strength was not because everyone in the upper realms were born stronger, but simply because of the void that kept the realms apart from one another.

When Jiang Yao reached the upper realm, he found that he could be considered a talented expert in his generation, but he did not want to purely be a talented individual, so the effort he was putting into the Smiling Demon Sect was overwhelming.

However, his efforts were also paying off. He had already taken over many resources, and he was slowly making a name for himself.

Right now, when the Snow Dream Sect was trying to make trouble for him, he was more than willing to clash head-on with them, as a victory over this Snow Dream Sect would be able to propel his Smiling Demon Sect to new heights.

It was also this matter that he had been busy with recently, but even so, he still missed his Xiaoxiao like mad, and eventually, he could no longer wait, as he rushed back home to spend a day alongside his lover.
