Chapter 24: The Two Beauties of the Jiang Family, Various Forces Attend the Banquet, and the Heart of the Ye Family's Prodigy

The Jun Family, as a top-tier power in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm.

Every move they make brings changes to the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm.

Not to mention that the protagonist of this banquet is none other than the mysterious Divine Son of the Jun Family.

As the son of the White-Robed Divine King, Jun Xiaoyao has garnered attention from all directions.

And this tenth-year banquet marks Jun Xiaoyao's first appearance in the mortal world; it is impossible not to cause a sensation.

...

Qing Province, one of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

Qing Province is the ancestral land of the Jiang Family, an ancient primordial clan.

The Jiang Family is the clan where Jun Xiaoyao's mother, Jiang Rou, resides.

Jiang Rou was once the Divine Maiden of the Jiang Family and held a very high status.

At this moment, within the Jiang ancestral lands—a blessed land shrouded in mist and rising auspicious colors—a peerless young woman in snow-white robes was waiting for something.

She was flawless and pure, possessing an ethereal, graceful posture, with a tall and slender jade-like body.

Her black hair fell like a waterfall, reaching down to her shapely hips.

Her face was like a painting, with curved eyebrows, eyes like autumn waters, vivid red lips, and crystalline teeth.

At a single glance, she looked like a fairy descending to earth, magnificent and beautiful, a delight to the eyes.

"My nephew is about to hold his tenth-year banquet, yet I have never actually seen him," the woman murmured, suddenly letting out a light laugh.

This woman was a distant cousin of Jiang Rou. Although they were not closely related by blood, she was considered Jun Xiaoyao's nominal aunt, named Jiang Shengyi.

Among Jiang Rou's lineage, Jiang Shengyi was the youngest at only twenty-four years old, in the prime of her stunning beauty.

Just then, a voice as crisp as silver bells drifted from the distance.

"Sister Shengyi, why did you call me here?"

As the voice rang out, a young girl of about twelve years old drifted toward them, her jade-like feet lightly tapping the void.

She had a petite and lithe figure, with her black hair tied in twin tails that bounced lively with her movements.

Her eyelashes were long, her large eyes were spirited, her nose was delicate, and her lips were like cherry blossoms.

When she smiled, she revealed two small tiger teeth, and her lovely face had two dimples, making her look quite playful and adorable.

This girl seemed to embody the elegance of heaven and earth, like a spirit of nature—cunning and intelligent.

"Luo Li, you possess the Primordial Spirit Dao Body, a constitution closest to the origin of the Heavenly Dao. Why aren't you focusing on your cultivation?"

Jiang Shengyi gave Jiang Luo Li a sidelong glance and reached out a slender finger to tap her forehead.

"Hehe, Sister Shengyi, you are the Divine Maiden of our Jiang Family and possess the Innate Dao Fetus. With you around, what else does Luo Li need to cultivate?"

Jiang Luo Li covered her forehead with her small hand, blinked, and gave a playful smile.

Jiang Luo Li was indeed the "pearl in the palm" of the Jiang Family, as spoken of by Jiang Rou and Jun Zhantian.

"You little rascal. Fine, I called you here for serious business. In a while, come with me to the Jun Family to attend the tenth-year banquet," Jiang Shengyi said.

Hearing this, Jiang Luo Li asked, "Is it the banquet for the Jun Family's Divine Son?"

Jiang Shengyi smiled and said, "That's right. You, finally, will be able to meet your future husband."

"What husband? Sister Shengyi, don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Luo Li stamped her foot, her small face flushing slightly.

She hadn't even met this Jun Family Divine Son yet; how could she be so hasty?

"My nephew is surely a man of extraordinary talent. If you oppose it so eagerly now, don't come regretting it later," Jiang Shengyi teased.

"Hmph, I oppose arranged marriages! I, Jiang Luo Li, would rather die or jump off a mountain than accept a random engagement!" Jiang Luo Li said defiantly, puffing out her cheeks.

Jiang Shengyi covered her mouth and laughed. "Alright, alright. I think I heard my cousin Jiang Rou say that my nephew is exceptionally handsome and elegant, like a banished immortal."

"Really?" Jiang Luo Li's eyes rolled, and her bright eyes sparkled.

"Just kidding, I don't actually know," Jiang Shengyi burst out laughing.

She knew very well that Jiang Luo Li was a "face seeker" with very high standards for appearance.

Someone who wasn't handsome would simply fail to catch her eye.

Perhaps this was also due to the Primordial Spirit Dao Body's pursuit of perfection.

"Hmph, any man who catches my eye must be the most handsome in the Immortal Realm!" Jiang Luo Li puffed out her small chest and pouted.

In her heart, she was also wondering just how handsome this mysterious Jun Family Divine Son could be.

"Don't worry, you'll know before long," Jiang Shengyi said, patting Jiang Luo Li's small head with her jade-like hand.

...

Those invited by the Jun Family included not only the Jiang Family but also other ancient primordial clans, supreme great families, immortal dynasties, and so on.

First-tier powers of a slightly lower rank were also invited, though less formally.

As for second-tier powers, they had no qualification to be invited at all.

Of course, the Jun Family would not refuse them if they chose to attend on their own, but they lacked the status to enter the main hall and could only watch from the outskirts.

As time passed, the entire Three Thousand Dao Provinces of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm began to heat up.

A year finally passed, and the tenth-year banquet of the Jun Family Divine Son finally commenced in earnest.

On this day, the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm was in an uproar.

The ancient warships, flying vessels, and mounts of countless powers all took to the skies, turning into ten thousand streaks of light.

They all had only one destination: the Jun Family in the Imperial Province!

The Great Shang Dynasty was an ancient human imperial lineage with deep foundations and a long history.

Ornate楼船 (tower ships) rose into the sky, sailing toward the Imperial Province.

"Eh? That is the tower ship of the Great Shang Princess. She is actually going to the Jun Family Divine Son's tenth-year banquet too!"

"Indeed. This banquet is an opportunity. Who wouldn't want to climb the high branches of the Jun Family?"

"True enough..."

Generally speaking, after the age of ten, one could begin preparing to find a Dao companion.

Although the Jun Family Divine Son had never appeared in public, his status and identity alone were enough to make many imperial daughters, princesses, and geniuses of heaven feel moved and offer themselves.

If one could catch the eye of the Jun Family Divine Son, they would surely soar to the heavens, and the power behind them would rise along with them.

Therefore, the beauties of many powers were preparing to attend the banquet to try their luck.

In the Great Yan Sacred Land, a carriage also ascended into the void, preparing to head toward the Jun Family.

"The last time the Jun Family held such a grand tenth-year banquet was for that First Sequence, but this banquet for the Jun Family Divine Son is even more magnificent..."

In the ancient primordial Ye Family, a divine bird pulled a carriage into the sky.

"I heard Luo Li will be there. In that case, I naturally cannot be absent."

Inside the carriage, a handsome youth in blue with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes chuckled, a glint flashing in his eyes.

The "Luo Li" he spoke of was the Jiang Family's treasure, Jiang Luo Li.

"Young Master Xingyun, the Master has instructed us that we are going to attend a banquet, not to cause trouble. If you act recklessly at the Jun Family banquet, the Master will not let you off," a stern-faced elder with a goatee said from the side.

An aura of a Quasi-Saint faintly emanated from him.

With a Quasi-Saint as a servant, the youth's status was clearly not low.

"Haha, Uncle Fu, rest assured. I know my limits. I am going to find Luo Li, not to provoke the Jun Family Divine Son," the youth laughed heartily.

His name was Ye Xingyun, a top-tier genius of the ancient primordial Ye Family.

He possessed the Star King Body, a powerful constitution ranked within the top five hundred of the three thousand constitutions, capable of containing the power of the nine heavens' stars within his body.

Ye Xingyun had once seen Jiang Luo Li during a secret realm trial.

To this day, he could not forget that lively and beautiful girl who was like an elf.

He simply had never had the chance to see her again.

This Jun Family banquet was indeed a perfect opportunity to strike up a conversation.

"Luo Li, you will definitely be my woman!" A look of firm confidence flashed in Ye Xingyun's eyes.
