Chapter 24: Chapter 24: The Two Beauties of the Jiang Family, Various Powers Attend the Banquet, The Thoughts of the Ye Family's Prodigy
The Jun family, as a top power in the Desolate Celestial Realm, could cause changes throughout the entire realm with their every move.
Not to mention that the protagonist of this banquet was the mysterious divine son of the Jun family.
As the son of the White-Robed Divine King Jun Wuhui, Jun Xiaoyao had attracted attention from all directions.
This ten-year-old banquet marked Jun Xiaoyao's first public appearance in the world, and it was bound to cause a sensation.
...
In one of the Three Thousand Dao States, Qing State.
Qing State was the clan territory of the Jiang family, an ancient family from primordial times.
The Jiang family was the family of Jun Xiaoyao's mother, Jiang Rou.
Jiang Rou was once the divine maiden of the Jiang family, with a rather high status.
At this moment, in a blessed land surrounded by mists and auspicious clouds within the Jiang family territory.
A young woman in snow-white clothes of unparalleled beauty was waiting for something here.
She was flawless and pure, with an immortal grace. Her jade-like body was tall and slender.
Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, reaching her shapely buttocks.
Her face was like a painting, with arched eyebrows, eyes like autumn waters, red lips, and pearly teeth.
At first glance, she looked like an immortal descending to earth, beautiful and enchanting, a feast for the eyes.
"My nephew is going to have his ten-year-old banquet, but I've never seen him before," the woman murmured, suddenly smiling gently.
This woman was a distant cousin of Jiang Rou, although they didn't have much blood relation, she was still considered Jun Xiaoyao's nominal aunt, named Jiang Shengyi.
In Jiang Rou's branch of the family, Jiang Shengyi was the youngest at only twenty-four years old, in her prime of beauty, a feast for the eyes.
At this time, a crisp voice like silver bells came from afar.
"Sister Shengyi, why did you call me here?"
As the voice sounded, a girl about twelve years old, on the cusp of adolescence, lightly stepped through the void and came over.
She had a petite figure, light and agile. Her black hair was tied in twin ponytails, bouncing lively with her movements.
Her eyelashes were long and delicate, her eyes bright and lively, her nose straight and delicate, her lips like cherry blossoms.
When she smiled, two small tiger teeth would show, and her pretty face had two dimples, making her look quite mischievous and adorable.
This girl seemed to embody the essence of heaven and earth, like a sprite of nature, cunning and intelligent.
"Luoli, you possess the Elemental Spirit Dao Body, the physique closest to the origin of the heavenly Dao. Why aren't you diligently cultivating?"
Jiang Shengyi glanced at Jiang Luoli and gently tapped her forehead with a slender jade finger.
"Hehe, Sister Shengyi, you're our Jiang family's divine maiden with an Innate Dao Embryo. With you around, why does Luoli need to cultivate?"
Jiang Luoli covered her forehead with her small hand, blinked, and smiled mischievously.
Jiang Luoli was precisely the Jiang family's precious pearl mentioned by Jiang Rou and Jun Zhantian.
"You little imp. Alright, I called you here to discuss something important. In a few days, you'll come with me to the Jun family to attend the ten-year-old banquet," Jiang Shengyi said.
Hearing this, Jiang Luoli asked, "Is it the banquet for the Jun family's divine son?"
Jiang Shengyi smiled and said, "That's right. You can finally go meet your future husband."
"What husband? Sister Shengyi, don't talk nonsense," Jiang Luoli stomped her foot, her little face turning slightly red.
She hadn't even met that Jun family divine son yet, how could she be so hasty?
"My nephew is surely an outstanding talent. You're so quick to object now, don't regret it later," Jiang Shengyi teased.
"Hmph, I object to arranged marriages. Even if I, Jiang Luoli, have to die or jump off a mountain, I absolutely won't get engaged casually!" Jiang Luoli puffed up, vowing solemnly.
Jiang Shengyi covered her mouth and laughed, "Alright, I seem to remember Cousin Jiang Rou saying that my nephew is handsome and elegant, refined and otherworldly, like an immortal who has descended to the mortal world."
"Really?" Jiang Luoli's eyes sparkled, bright and shining.
"I'm just kidding, I don't know either," Jiang Shengyi burst into laughter.
She knew that Jiang Luoli was particular about appearances, with high standards for looks.
Men who weren't handsome could hardly catch Jiang Luoli's eye.
Perhaps this was also due to the Elemental Spirit Dao Body's pursuit of perfection and flawlessness.
"Hmph, the man who can catch my eye must be the most handsome in the celestial realm!" Jiang Luoli puffed out her small chest and pouted.
In her heart, she was also wondering how handsome that mysterious Jun family divine son could be.
"Don't worry, you'll know soon enough," Jiang Shengyi patted Jiang Luoli's little head.
...
Not only the Jiang family, but other ancient families, supreme clans, and immortal dynasties were also invited by the Jun family.
Slightly lower-tier top forces would also receive invitations, though not as formal.
As for second-tier forces below that, they didn't have the qualifications to be invited.
Of course, the Jun family wouldn't refuse if they took the initiative to participate, but they wouldn't have the qualifications to enter the main hall, only able to observe from outside.
As time passed, all Three Thousand Dao States of the Desolate Celestial Realm began to heat up.
A year finally passed, and the curtain was finally raised on the Jun family divine son's ten-year-old banquet.
On this day, the entire Desolate Celestial Realm was buzzing.
Countless ancient warships, flying boats, and mounts from various forces rose into the sky, turning into myriad streams of light.
They had only one destination - the Jun family in the Imperial State!
The Great Shang Dynasty was an ancient royal lineage of the human race, with profound heritage and long history.
Luxurious tower ships rose into the sky one after another, heading towards the Imperial State.
"Oh, that's the tower ship of the Great Shang Princess. She's actually going to attend the Jun family divine son's ten-year-old banquet too!"
"Of course, this ten-year-old banquet is also an opportunity. Who wouldn't want to climb the high branch of the Jun family?"
"That's true..."
Generally speaking, after turning ten, one could start looking for a Dao partner.
Although the Jun family divine son had never shown his face, his status and identity alone were enough to make many princesses, royal ladies, and outstanding young women interested, willing to offer themselves.
If one could catch the eye of the Jun family divine son, it would definitely be a meteoric rise, and the forces behind them would also prosper.
Therefore, beauties from many forces were preparing to attend the banquet and try their luck.
The Great Divination Holy Land also had carriages ascending into the void, preparing to head to the Jun family.
"The last time the Jun family held such a grand ten-year-old banquet was for that First Sequence, but now the Jun family divine son's ten-year-old banquet is even grander..."
The ancient Ye family had divine birds pulling carriages into the sky.
"I heard Luoli will be going too. In that case, I certainly can't miss it."
Inside the carriage, a blue-robed youth with a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows, and star-like eyes chuckled lightly, his eyes flashing with a glint of light.
The Luoli he mentioned was precisely the Jiang family's precious pearl, Jiang Luoli.
"Young Master Xing Yun, the master has instructed that we are going to attend the banquet, not to cause trouble. If young master acts recklessly at the Jun family banquet, even the master won't let you off," said a goateed old man beside him with a serious face.
A faint aura of a quasi-saint emanated from his body.
With a quasi-saint as a servant, this young man's status was obviously not low.
"Haha, don't worry, Uncle Fu. I naturally know my limits. I'm going to find Luoli, not to provoke the Jun family divine son," the young man laughed heartily.
His name was Ye Xing Yun, a top-tier genius from the ancient Ye family.
Possessing the Star King Body, it was also ranked in the top 500 of the Three Thousand Physiques, able to contain the power of the nine heavenly stars in one body.
Ye Xing Yun had once seen Jiang Luoli during a secret realm trial.
To this day, he couldn't forget that lively and beautiful girl who was like a sprite.
He just never had the chance to see her again.
This Jun family banquet was a good opportunity to approach her.
"Luoli, you will definitely be my woman!" Ye Xing Yun's eyes flashed with firm confidence.
