Chapter 24: The Twin Beauties of the Jiang Family, All Factions Attend the Banquet, the Thoughts of the Ye Family

The Jun family, as a top-tier force in the Huangtian Immortal Realm.

Every move they make sends ripples of change throughout the entire Huangtian Immortal Realm.

Especially since the main guest of this banquet is that mysterious divine son of the Jun family.

As the son of the White Robe Divine King Jun Wu-hui, Jun Xiaoyao has drawn attention from all directions.

And this tenth-birthday banquet is Jun Xiaoyao’s first public appearance since entering the mortal world—impossible to avoid causing a sensation.

…

One of the Three Thousand Dao States: Qingzhou.

Qingzhou is the ancestral land of the ancient family, Jiang family.

The Jiang family is precisely the clan to which Jun Xiaoyao’s mother, Jiang Rou, belongs.

Jiang Rou was once the divine daughter of the Jiang family, holding high status.

At this moment, within a grotto paradise of swirling mist and radiant auspicious light in the Jiang ancestral lands,

a stunningly beautiful young woman clad in snow-white robes waits for something.

Her body is flawless and pure, her immortal posture graceful, her ivory skin tall and slender.

Her black hair flows like a waterfall, cascading down to her rounded hips.

Her face, like a painted scroll, features arched dark brows, eyes like autumn waters, lips vividly red, and teeth like gleaming pearls.

At a glance, she appears as a celestial immortal descending to earth—exquisitely beautiful, pleasing to the eye.

“My nephew is holding his tenth-birthday banquet—I’ve never seen him before,” the woman murmured, then smiled faintly.

This woman is a distant cousin of Jiang Rou; though their blood ties are thin, she is nominally Jun Xiaoyao’s young aunt, named Jiang Shengyi.

Among Jiang Rou’s lineage, Jiang Shengyi is the youngest, only twenty-four, at the peak of her exquisite beauty, radiant and captivating.

At this moment, a voice as crisp as silver bells echoed from afar.

“Shengyi sister, why did you call me here?”

As the voice rang out, a twelve-year-old maiden with delicate feet lightly tapping the void, teleported over.

She was petite and lithe, her black hair tied into two lively pigtails that bounced with her movements.

Her lashes were long, her eyes bright and lively, her nose refined, her lips like cherry blossoms.

When she smiled, two small tiger teeth appeared, and dimples formed on her cheeks—adorably mischievous and charming.

This girl seemed forged by the spirit of heaven and earth, a cosmic fairy—clever and spiritually astute.

“Luo Li, you possess the Yuan Ling Dao Body, the most attuned to the primordial Dao of heaven and earth—why aren’t you cultivating seriously?”

Jiang Shengyi gave Jiang Luoli a disapproving glance and tapped her forehead with a slender jade finger.

“Hehe, Shengyi sister, you’re the Jiang family’s divine daughter, with the primordial Dao womb—you’re here, so why should I bother cultivating?”

Jiang Luoli covered her forehead with her small hands, blinked her eyes, and grinned mischievously.

Jiang Luoli is precisely the cherished jewel of the Jiang family, as spoken of by Jiang Rou and Jun Zhan-tian.

“You little rascal, enough fooling around. I called you here for something serious—soon, come with me to the Jun family to attend the tenth-birthday banquet.” Jiang Shengyi said.

Jiang Luoli asked, “Is it the banquet of the Jun family’s divine son?”

Jiang Shengyi smiled, “Correct. You, finally, get to meet your future husband.”

“What husband? Shengyi sister, don’t say such nonsense!” Jiang Luoli stomped her foot, her cheeks flushing slightly.

She had never even met that Jun family divine son—how could she be so hasty?

“My nephew is surely a prodigy. If you’re so eager to oppose, don’t regret it later,” Jiang Shengyi teased.

“Hmph! I oppose arranged marriages! Even if I die, even if I jump off a mountain, I will never agree to a hasty betrothal!” Jiang Luoli declared fiercely.

Jiang Shengyi covered her mouth and laughed, “Alright, I seem to recall my cousin Jiang Rou saying my nephew is exceptionally handsome, elegant and otherworldly, like a celestial immortal descended.”

“Really?” Jiang Luoli’s eyes sparkled with sudden interest.

“I’m teasing you—I don’t know.” Jiang Shengyi burst into laughter.

She knew well that Jiang Luoli was a beauty addict, with extremely high standards for appearance.

A man who wasn’t handsome stood no chance of catching Jiang Luoli’s eye.

Perhaps this was due to the Yuan Ling Dao Body’s pursuit of perfection and flawlessness.

“Hmph! The man I, Luoli, choose will be the most handsome in the entire immortal realm!” Jiang Luoli puffed out her tiny chest and pouted.

She was also secretly wondering: just how handsome could this mysterious Jun family divine son be?

“Don’t worry—you’ll find out soon enough,” Jiang Shengyi patted Jiang Luoli’s small head with her jade hand.

…

Invited by the Jun family were not only the Jiang family, but also other ancient clans, supreme tribes, and immortal imperial dynasties.

Slightly lesser first-tier forces were also invited, though less formally.

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

Of course, the Jun family would not refuse their voluntary attendance—but they had no right to enter the main hall, only to observe from outside.

As time passed, the entire Three Thousand Dao States of the Huangtian Immortal Realm grew feverishly excited.

One year finally passed, and the Jun family divine son’s tenth-birthday banquet was fully underway.

On this day, the entire Huangtian Immortal Realm trembled with resonance.

Countless ancient warships, flying vessels, mounts, and more soared into the sky, transforming into ten thousand streaks of light.

Their destination was one and only: Huangzhou, the Jun family!

The Great Shang Dynasty, a lineage of ancient imperial dynasty among humans, possessed profound roots and long-standing heritage.

One by one, magnificent pavilion ships rose into the sky, heading toward Huangzhou.

“Oh? That’s the princess of Great Shang’s pavilion ship—she’s also going to attend the Jun family divine son’s tenth-birthday banquet!”

“Of course she is—this banquet is an opportunity; who wouldn’t want to climb the Jun family’s high branch?”

“That’s true…”

Generally, after age ten, one begins seeking a Dao partner.

Though the Jun family divine son had never appeared publicly, merely his status and identity were enough to stir the hearts of many imperial princesses, noble maidens, and heavenly prodigies to offer themselves as his consort.

If chosen by the Jun family divine son, one would soar to the heavens, and one’s entire clan would rise with him.

Thus, many noblewomen from various factions prepared to attend the banquet, hoping for fortune.

The Great Expansion Holy Land also sent forth a carriage into the void, preparing to journey to the Jun family.

“The last time the Jun family held such a grand tenth-birthday banquet was for the First Sequence—but now, the divine son’s tenth-birthday banquet is even grander…”

The ancient Jiang family sent forth a carriage pulled by divine birds into the sky.

“I heard Luoli is going too—then naturally, I cannot miss this.”

Inside the carriage, a blue-robed youth with a refined face, sharp eyebrows, and star-like eyes chuckled softly, a glint flashing in his eyes.

The Luoli he referred to was precisely the Jiang family’s cherished jewel, Jiang Luoli.

“Young Master Xingyun, the master has instructed us—we are here to attend the banquet, not to cause trouble. If you misbehave at the Jun family banquet, the master will not spare you.”

Beside him, an old man with a goatee spoke with solemnity.

He subtly radiated the aura of a quasi-sage.

With a quasi-sage as a servant, this youth’s status was clearly far from low.

“Hahaha, Uncle Fu, rest assured—I know my limits. I’m going to find Luoli, not to provoke the Jun family divine son.” The youth laughed loudly.

He was named Ye Xingyun, a top-tier prodigy of the ancient Ye family.

He bore the Star Sovereign Body, one of the top five hundred strongest body types among the Three Thousand Bodies, capable of absorbing the power of the Nine Heavens’ stars into his being.

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

To this day, he could not forget that lively, charming girl like a fairy.

He had never had another chance to meet her.

This Jun family banquet was a perfect opportunity to approach her.

“Luoli, you will surely be my woman!” Ye Xingyun’s eyes gleamed with firm, confident resolve.
