The Jiang Clan's Twin Beauties, Forces Gather for the Banquet, the Ye Family Prodigy's Thoughts
The Jun Family, as one of the foremost powers in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
Its every move could bring changes to the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
Not to mention that the guest of honor at this banquet was the Jun Family's mysterious Divine Son.
As the son of the White-Clothed Divine King, Jun Wuhui, Jun Xiaoyao had drawn attention from all quarters.
And this Tenth Birthday Banquet would be Jun Xiaoyao's first appearance before the world. It was impossible for it not to cause a sensation.
One of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, Azure Province.
Azure Province was the ancestral land of the ancient aristocratic Jiang Clan.
The Jiang Clan was precisely the family of Jun Xiaoyao's mother, Jiang Rou.
Jiang Rou had once been the Jiang Clan's goddess as well, and her status had been quite high.
At this moment, within the Jiang Clan's ancestral land, in a blessed grotto-heaven wreathed in rosy clouds and rising auspicious radiance.
A peerlessly beautiful young woman dressed in snow-white robes was waiting for something.
Her entire body was flawless and immaculate, her immortal bearing graceful and delicate, her jade-like figure tall and slender.
Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, falling straight to her shapely hips.
Her face was picturesque, with curved brows, eyes like autumn waters, vivid red lips, and pearly white teeth.
At a glance, she seemed like an immortal maiden descending into the mortal world, breathtakingly beautiful and a feast for the eyes.
"My nephew is holding his Tenth Birthday Banquet. I've never even seen him before," the woman murmured, suddenly smiling faintly.
This woman was a distant younger cousin of Jiang Rou's. Though they were not closely related by blood, she was still Jun Xiaoyao's aunt in name. Her name was Jiang Shengyi.
Among Jiang Rou's branch of the family, Jiang Shengyi was the youngest. She was only twenty-four, in the bloom of her incomparable beauty, lovely enough to be devoured with the eyes.
Just then, a sweet, crisp voice like silver bells rang out from afar.
"Sister Shengyi, why did you call me here?"
As the words fell, a maiden of around twelve stepped lightly through the air and teleported over.
She was petite and nimble, her black hair tied into twin ponytails that bounced lively with her movements.
Her lashes were long, her large eyes bright and lively, her delicate nose high and lovely, her lips like blossoming cherries.
When she smiled, two little canine teeth showed, and two dimples appeared on her pretty cheeks, making her look especially playful and adorable.
This maiden seemed to have gathered all the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth, like a sprite born between heaven and earth—cunning yet clever.
"Luoli, you possess the Origin Spirit Dao Body, a physique closest to the source of the Great Dao of heaven and earth, yet you still refuse to cultivate properly."
Jiang Shengyi shot Jiang Luoli a glance and extended a slender jade finger to tap her forehead.
"Hehe, Sister Shengyi, you're the Jiang Clan's goddess and possess the Innate Dao Embryo. With you here, why would Luoli need to cultivate?"
Covering her forehead with one small hand, Jiang Luoli blinked and gave a mischievous smile.
Jiang Luoli was precisely the Jiang Clan's treasured pearl whom Jiang Rou and Jun Zhantian had mentioned.
"You little imp. All right, I called you here to discuss serious business. In a while, come with me to the Jun Family and attend the Tenth Birthday Banquet," Jiang Shengyi said.
Hearing this, Jiang Luoli asked, "Is it the Jun Family Divine Son's banquet?"
Jiang Shengyi smiled. "That's right. You can finally go meet your future husband."
"What future husband? Sister Shengyi, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Luoli stomped her foot, her little face flushing slightly.
She had not even met that Jun Family Divine Son yet. How could this be decided so carelessly?
"My nephew is surely an outstanding hero. You're so eager to object now—don't regret it later," Jiang Shengyi teased.
"Hmph, I oppose arranged marriages! Even if I, Jiang Luoli, die, even if I jump off a mountain, I will absolutely never get engaged so casually!" Jiang Luoli declared indignantly and resolutely.
Covering her mouth, Jiang Shengyi smiled. "All right. Though I seem to recall Cousin Jiang Rou saying that my nephew is exceptionally handsome, elegant and transcendent, like an exiled immortal."
"Really?" Jiang Luoli's eyes rolled, and her lovely gaze sparkled.
"I was lying. I don't know either." Jiang Shengyi burst into laughter.
She knew that Jiang Luoli was obsessed with looks and had extremely high standards when it came to appearance.
Men who were not handsome could not enter Jiang Luoli's eyes at all.
Perhaps that was because the Origin Spirit Dao Body pursued perfection and flawlessness.
"Hmph, any man who catches my, Luoli's, eye must be the most handsome in the Immortal Domain!" Jiang Luoli puffed out her small chest and pouted.
She was also secretly wondering just how attractive that mysterious Jun Family Divine Son could be.
"Don't worry. You'll find out soon enough." Jiang Shengyi patted Jiang Luoli's little head with her jade-like hand.
The Jiang Clan was not the only force invited by the Jun Family. Other ancient aristocratic families, supreme great clans, immortal imperial dynasties, and more had also received invitations.
First-rate forces a step below them would also be invited, though not as formally.
As for second-rate forces a tier lower still, they had no qualifications to receive an invitation at all.
Of course, the Jun Family would not refuse them if they came of their own accord, but they would not be qualified to enter the main hall. They could only watch from outside.
As time passed, all Three Thousand Dao Provinces of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain began to stir with excitement.
A year finally passed, and the Jun Family Divine Son's Tenth Birthday Banquet officially began.
On this day, the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain seemed to rumble.
Ancient warships, flying boats, mounts, and more from countless forces rose into the air, becoming ten thousand streaks of light.
They had only one destination: the Jun Family in Imperial Province!
The Great Shang Dynasty was an ancient imperial dynasty of the human race, with profound foundations and a long legacy.
One magnificent tower ship after another rose into the sky, heading toward Imperial Province.
"Eh, isn't that the Great Shang Princess's tower ship? She's actually going to attend the Jun Family Divine Son's Tenth Birthday Banquet too!"
"Of course. This Tenth Birthday Banquet is an opportunity as well. Who wouldn't want to cling to the Jun Family's lofty branch?"
"That's true..."
Generally speaking, after turning ten, one could begin looking for a Dao companion.
Though the Jun Family Divine Son had never shown himself, his status and identity alone were enough to make many imperial daughters, princesses, and favored daughters of heaven swoon and offer themselves.
If they could catch the Jun Family Divine Son's eye, they would soar to the heavens in a single bound, and the forces behind them would see even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Thus, beautiful women from many forces were preparing to attend the banquet and try their luck.
The Dayan Sacred Land likewise had carriages rise into the void, preparing to head for the Jun Family.
"The last time the Jun Family held such a grand Tenth Birthday Banquet was for that First Sequence. But the Jun Family Divine Son's Tenth Birthday Banquet is even more magnificent now..."
From the ancient aristocratic Ye Family, divine birds pulled a carriage into the sky.
"I heard Luoli will be going too. In that case, I naturally can't be absent."
Inside the carriage, a blue-robed youth with refined features, sword-like brows, and starry eyes gave a light laugh, a glint flickering in his gaze.
The Luoli he spoke of was the Jiang Clan's treasured pearl, Jiang Luoli.
"Young Master Xingyun, the master has instructed us that we are attending a banquet, not causing trouble. If you act recklessly at the Jun Family banquet, the master will not spare you either."
At his side, an old man with a goatee spoke with a stern expression.
A faint Quasi-Saint aura emanated from him.
With a Quasi-Saint as a servant, this youth's identity was clearly far from ordinary.
"Haha, Uncle Fu, don't worry. I know where to draw the line. I'm going to see Luoli, not to provoke the Jun Family Divine Son," the youth said with a hearty laugh.
His name was Ye Xingyun, one of the Desolate Ancient Ye Family's top prodigies.
He possessed the Stellar King Physique, a formidable physique ranked within the top five hundred among the Three Thousand Physiques, capable of containing the power of the nine heavens' stars within a single body.
Ye Xingyun had once seen Jiang Luoli during a trial in a secret realm.
Even now, he could not forget that lively, pretty maiden who was like a sprite.
He simply had never had another chance to see her.
This Jun Family banquet was a fine chance to strike up a conversation.
"Luoli, you will definitely be my woman!" Determination and confidence gleamed in Ye Xingyun's eyes.
