Everyone present was stunned by Jun Xiaoyao's appearance and bearing.

All the women stared dreamily with their beautiful eyes, as though their souls had been stolen away by the handsome, immortal-like youth before them.

Jun Xiaoyao seemed like an immortal descending to the mortal world. That aura of his was simply too transcendent and otherworldly.

So this is the Jun Family Divine Child? Seeing him once is better than hearing of him a hundred times. He truly is a godlike man... everyone sighed inwardly.

Amid this silence, a delicate cry suddenly rang out.

"Wow, wow, wow! Are you the Jun Family Divine Child, Jun Xiaoyao?"

A delicate and spirited young girl cried out excitedly, her lovely eyes sparkling brightly. Crystal-clear drool had even trickled from the corner of her tender red lips.

"Yes, and you are?"

Jun Xiaoyao raised a brow and looked at the delicate and spirited girl.

His first impression was...

Short.

That was right.

Although Jiang Luoli had bright eyes, white teeth, and a charmingly pretty face, with two dimples appearing on her jade cheeks whenever she smiled.

Her figure was rather petite, making her look no more than around one and a half meters tall.

"I... I'm Jiang Luoli..." Jiang Luoli's pretty face flushed faintly.

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

"N-No... it's not Jiang Loli, no, no... it's Jiang Luoli..." Jiang Luoli blushed furiously, her heart racing as she began to stumble over her words.

Jun Xiaoyao understood.

So she was from his mother Jiang Rou's Lineage.

Thinking of this, Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly at Jiang Luoli. "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for honoring me with your presence at the banquet."

Puchi!

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's handsome face, faintly smiling beneath an immortal radiance, Jiang Luoli's entire body went weak and numb. She felt as though Cupid's arrow had struck her heart.

For someone as obsessed with looks as her, Jun Xiaoyao's appearance had hit every single one of her excitement points.

This was truly the face of a god descended from heaven.

At the side, Jiang Shengyi's heart trembled slightly as she looked at her nephew, whose handsome features were so perfect that he scarcely seemed human.

She had originally wanted to tease Jiang Luoli, but now she herself was somewhat stunned.

The instant Jiang Shengyi saw Jun Xiaoyao, an indescribable emotion surged within her heart.

Her Innate Dao Embryo physique actually felt faintly stirred.

"What is going on..." Jiang Shengyi was startled and touched her fair jade-like face, which had grown slightly hot and flushed.

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

"And Luoli is the treasured pearl in the palm of our Jiang Clan. You two should get acquainted."

Jiang Rou smiled as she called Jun Xiaoyao over.

Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.

So that short little girl was the treasured pearl of the Jiang Clan whom Jiang Rou and Jun Zhantian had kept talking about, wanting him to marry.

"Little Aunt." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

"That form of address makes me sound so old. Call me Sister instead."

Perhaps to conceal the strange feeling in her heart, Jiang Shengyi deliberately acted relaxed on the surface. She revealed her pearly teeth in a captivating smile and teased him.

At the same time, she was observing Jun Xiaoyao, wondering what kind of physique he possessed.

As for Jiang Luoli, her little face had remained flushed ever since Jun Xiaoyao appeared.

Usually lively and charming, she now seemed unusually reserved.

When the other guests saw this scene, all of them wore looks of understanding.

It seemed the Jiang Clan's treasured pearl had already been more or less smitten.

A looks-obsessed girl really was this shallow!

At one table, Ye Xingyun looked at Jiang Luoli's shy expression. His body trembled faintly with rage, and his face turned livid.

"How could this happen?" Dark clouds seemed to gather between Ye Xingyun's brows.

To be honest, he had not wanted to provoke Jun Xiaoyao.

But seeing this scene before him felt like a knife twisting in his heart.

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

Aside from appearance, Ye Xingyun believed that whether in talent, strength, or family background, he was no weaker than Jun Xiaoyao.

Moreover, back in the Falling Moon Secret Realm, he had even had some minor encounters with Jiang Luoli.

But now, Jun Xiaoyao had done nothing at all. Just by relying on that face of his, he was about to make Jiang Luoli fall for him.

Was there any justice left in this world?

Was being handsome really that great?

Elsewhere, Jun Zhangjian sighed. "Only a few years have passed, yet Cousin Xiaoyao has already grown to this extent."

Jun Zhangjian was now somewhat grateful that he had not offended Jun Xiaoyao back then. Instead, he had taken out the Yuan Heaven Supreme Token and befriended him.

That could be said to have been the wisest decision Jun Zhangjian had ever made.

Beside him, Jun Xuehuang gazed at Jun Xiaoyao, and her icy blue eyes also went slightly unfocused for an instant.

However, unlike Jiang Luoli, she was not completely obsessed with looks.

"This Divine Child truly lives up to his reputation. His aura is impossible to fathom," Jun Xuehuang said with a slight shake of her head.

Jun Xiaoyao's entire body was shrouded in divine radiance and mist, making him impossible to see through.

Out of the corners of their eyes, they also noticed Jun Wanjie.

Ever since Jun Xiaoyao appeared, Jun Wanjie's gaze had remained fixed on him.

Within his eyes was a faint trace of scrutiny and coldness.

Clearly, Jun Wanjie, who had been born into a collateral branch and suffered countless cold stares, was certainly extremely displeased with a direct-line genius like Jun Xiaoyao, one born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

Why was it that I had to struggle and fight for the things that you possessed from birth?

"It seems Jun Wanjie finds Cousin Xiaoyao somewhat unpleasant..." Jun Zhangjian murmured.

"To be honest, I'm even a little jealous of this Divine Child's status and treatment," Jun Xuehuang said, shaking her head.

Fortunately, Jun Wanjie was only watching coldly for now and made no further move.

Next, the banquet officially began.

Most people's attention still remained on Jun Xiaoyao.

The Great Shang princess gazed dreamily at Jun Xiaoyao with her beautiful eyes, but she still shook her head gently and murmured.

"This princess is not worthy of Lord Divine Child..."

Those words startled the many surrounding factions.

Even the famed Great Shang princess believed herself unworthy of the Jun Family Divine Child?

"Who knows how much strength that Jun Family Divine Child truly possesses? Perhaps he merely has a handsome face."

At that moment, a voice spoke quietly. Only a small number of people heard it and turned their gazes toward its source.

"It's that Stellar King Physique from the Ye Family..." Some people's eyes flickered.

Was he secretly expressing his dissatisfaction?

But the Jun Family Divine Child did not seem to have provoked him.

"Young Master, you must not speak recklessly!"

The Quasi-Saint old servant beside Ye Xingyun changed expression and spoke in a low voice.

"Hmph..." Ye Xingyun's expression darkened further, like water before a storm.

He was a proud genius of the Desolate Ancient Ye Family. Could he not even say a single sentence?

Over here, Jiang Rou held Jun Xiaoyao and kept introducing Jiang Luoli to him.

"Xiaoyao, you're not young anymore. It's time you considered letting Mother hold a grandchild," Jiang Rou said with a smile.

Jun Xiaoyao broke into a slight sweat at those words.

What the hell did she mean, not young anymore?

Although Jun Xiaoyao was tall and slender, looking like a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old youth, he was actually only ten years old.

And looking at that little girl Jiang Luoli, Jun Xiaoyao truly did not feel anything at all.

If they really entered a marriage alliance, Jun Xiaoyao would feel as though he were committing a crime.

Jiang Luoli's little face remained flushed as she did not dare look directly at Jun Xiaoyao.

"Hehe, who was it that said that even if she died, even if she jumped off a mountain, she would never compromise with an arranged marriage..." Jiang Shengyi teased with a sweet smile.

"Big Sister Shengyi, don't talk nonsense! When did I ever say such things?" Jiang Luoli puffed up her fragrant cheeks, shaking her little head like a rattle as she hurriedly denied it.

As long as I refuse to admit it, it means I never said it.

Still, he really is the most handsome person I've ever seen... Jiang Luoli thought dreamily to herself.

She now felt that arranged marriages seemed rather nice too.

Mm, it truly was fragrant!

Watching Jun Xiaoyao together with Jiang Luoli and the others, Ye Xingyun was nearly driven mad with jealousy.

Smack!

Ye Xingyun slammed the wine cup in his hand heavily onto the table.

The entire hall suddenly fell silent.

"Jun Family Divine Child, is it? I am Ye Xingyun of the Desolate Ancient Ye Family. Might I have the honor of asking the Divine Child for a few pointers?"
