Rest in a Demon's Embrace [BL]

Jiang Yao was looking at the gentle smile on Luo Xiao's lips, as the younger boy was slowly talking about the benefits of him ascending to the upper realm and preparing a certain force of experts to back them up when they reunited in the future.

"If it were only up to me, then I would not want us to split up." Jiang Yao was usually a stoic and proud demon in front of the rest of the world, but right now, he was leaning his head on Luo Xiao's shoulder as he felt helpless and tried to act coquettish.

"I do not want to separate from you at all, and I hate that we have been forced to go this far, just to try and find a way to stay alive."

Luo Xiao was well aware of this man's personality. Although he was unhappy about being forced to go into hiding, he dared say that Jiang Yao would not have been this unhappy if they could have hidden together. The main reason for his current sulking was due to the need to split apart.

"Yao, you already said that we would meet at least twice a year. I, too, wish that we could stay together at all times, but sometimes we have to do things we do not like for our common future."

Luo Xiao's eyes were full of helplessness but also pampering. Although Jiang Yao had more of a domineering and powerful personality, he was still unable to hold back the feeling of grievances whenever he thought that he could not stay by his lover's side every day in the future.

"Yao, although it is not a short amount of time before I can ascend, no one says that we have to be split apart for so long either. The reason we are splitting up now, is to divert the attention from those who wish to harm me, so that they will think that I am dead.

"If, one day, they forget about my existence, or stop paying attention to you, then you can return to my side right away."

Luo Xiao was also a little unwilling to be away from Jiang Yao for almost one hundred years, but he knew that their future together would be long, so he was willing to suffer from this separation for now.

Even so, he was still merely a youngster, and he had still not even turned twenty years old yet, so the thought of one hundred years into the future did seem very far away. Many things could change during these one hundred years, but he believed that as long as his heart stayed true, then there would be great results waiting for the two of them.

"I know." Jiang Yao's voice was muffled, as the older male had buried his head in the nook of Luo Xiao's neck, and his warm breath was landing on the younger man's neck.

Although the two of them had hugged each other countless of times, and even shared kisses, they had never done anything more intimate than that. Now that the warm breath was landing on his skin, Luo Xiao could feel how his body stiffened, and a surge of electricity rushed through his body.

Although he was still young, he was no longer as ignorant as he was when Jiang Yao had first found him, so he quickly retreated back, widening the gap between the two of them.

It was not that neither Luo Xiao nor Jiang Yao did not wish to consolidate their relationship by physically merging into one, but both were very well aware of Luo Xiao's age.

Although the marriageable age here was set at fifteen years, which Luo Xiao had passed, the two still had other considerations.

Luo Xiao had been living in the Jinwei Village for so many years, and many things were still new to him. He had to adapt fully to the outside world, and also understand the many complex feelings and emotions that most people had.

To Jiang Yao, who had already lived for a long time, he was willing to respect Luo Xiao and wait for him to be ready, and Luo Xiao, who was still learning many things, felt that he could only give himself to Jiang Yao fully, when he was completely certain about what the many various emotions meant.

"After we have acted out your fake death, I will fly into rage out of sadness and rush to murder my fourth brother as revenge. My father will then claim that I murdered my own brother and had to be punished. My punishment is that I will never be able to become Emperor.

"After that, I will seem lost and listless. I will only focus on preparing your funeral, and due to my depressed and obsessive emotions, no one apart from me will be allowed to see your corpse.

"My guards will help me by spreading many rumors about my insane behavior, and make them seem reasonable, which should reach the ears of your murderous aunt.

"After your funeral, I will stay by your tomb for a period of time, after which I will roam the world in search for the memories we had together.

"After realizing that these memories cannot fill the sense of loss in my heart, I will enter the upper realm with a new goal in life, which is to become the strongest expert ever living.

"My reason to pursue strength like this is to ensure that my dear ones will never be killed again, and at the same time, I will also be searching for a method to bring you back to life.

"This way, I should be able to give an explanation if you were to suddenly appear once more, and no one will take me seriously, as rebirth has never been heard about before.. Most will just leave me alone and call me an obsessed lunatic."
