Rest in a Demon's Embrace [BL]-Chapter 197

197 Gu Tianyu

Luo Xiao could not help but feel somewhat amused when hearing how Jiang Yao was explaining the process in such detail.

The description of his grief and mourning was very telling, and he could already imagine how this stoic demon prince would act in an attempt to fool the entire world. Such skills were not what he usually faced when cultivating.

“This is not a bad idea. In fact, although we will meet twice a year, we might even meet more often than that. There are no boundaries between the two worlds, and only a certain level of strength is needed to travel from one realm to another, so as long as the ones who keep an eye on you disappear, then you can visit much more frequently.” 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

Luo Xiao tried to make Jiang Yao feel more positive about the current decision. It was not that the younger man did not feel unhappy about their departure, but it was his identity that had caused this unfortunate situation. He had to be careful and ensure that they would not encounter danger due to him.

“Well, I will speak with Jiang Yi and ask him to start the plan then. I am aware that you wish to travel on your own, but you cannot be completely alone. I am going to make two of the Shadow Guards follow by your side, and the rest will be taken alongside me to the upper realms for the sake of helping me set up a faction in the realms above.”

“I know. I will make sure to bring them around, but you have to guarantee that they will not interfere unless my last breath is about to leave me. Also, we have to keep a low profile, so we cannot have anything that will make us resemble a member of the Royal Family from the Demon Empire.”

Jiang Yao nodded his head. He had already guessed Luo Xiao’s requests and would approve of almost anything, as long as he took these two guards alongside him on his travels.

“I have asked the Royal Cloth textiles shop to create a large group of various outfits. The Shadow Guards are usually wearing black clothes, but I have asked for their new uniforms to be blue.

“At the same time, a special insignia is being embroidered on their chest, which is the family crest of the Gu family from our neighbouring empire.

.....

“The Gu family are our loyal vassals and have, unbeknown to the rest of our world and the ones above, always been following our orders. The patriarch was informed about your identity and has written a new name into their genealogy.

“You will go by the name of Gu Tianyu for now, and your position in the Gu family is the maternal nephew of the Gu Patriarch. According to your identity, your mother eloped with a foreigner, but both died tragically. Your uncle has thus raised you outside the house since then, but due to you being the only descendant of his late sister, the patriarch has always spoiled you in secret.”

Luo Xiao could not help but nod his head in approval. Jiang Yao had truly planned everything within a very short amount of time, and he was able to take over this identity right away.

“So, when will I die?”

Luo Xiao felt somewhat conflicted while asking this question, but this was the only way to advance. Even Qin Zhaolu was not allowed to know that he had survived, so the death had to be very well staged, and had to be able to convince everyone about his demise.

“I have planned it all. You, however, have to leave Cloudsoar City tomorrow, three days prior to the staged assassination.

“When the assassination has been deemed successful, the gates of the city will be much more dangerous as the ones who wish for your death will want to ensure that it is not a fake accident.”

Luo Xiao nodded his head in approval. He understood that many things were not as they wished for, but they had to adapt to their current circumstances.

Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao both felt reluctant to separate, but both were also aware of the danger they were facing. Jiang Yao knew that with his current strength, it was not possible to keep his lover safe, and Luo Xiao was equally aware that with his current identity, Jiang Yao would also be threatened by staying by his side.

No matter how unwilling they were, for the sake of their future, they both separated as they had planned, and by the time Luo Xiao had reached the border of the Xiumeng Empire, he heard the tales in the various inns and restaurants about how the Fourth Demon Prince had successfully assassinated the lover of Jiang Yao, resulting in a bloody vengeance that washed the streets of Cloudsoar City red with blood, and numerous lives were lost in the process.

The man who had previously been known as an unfeeling and cold devil was now devastated and mourning every day as he was watching over the corpse of his beloved, unwilling to bury it and say their eternal farewell.

Many were feeling conflicted about these stories, but Jiang Yao had turned from being a cold and arrogant prince to the ideal and most wanted bachelor. Even so, he had sworn that he would no longer love anyone, and would spend his life searching for a way to resurrect his beloved.

The rumors and stories spread throughout the entire Tiandi Continent, and it did not take long before Qin Baixue had confirmed the truth within.

With a smile on her lips, she happily left the weaker world and returned to the realms above where she could, once more, act as a spoiled young miss of a prosperous family.f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
