Rest in a Demon's Embrace-Chapter 201 - Sleeping Beauty

Luo Xiao did not care about his two guards. He already knew that they were very different in personality, and while one was nagging him a lot, the other was stoic and slightly taciturn. Even so, he had complete faith in both of them and knew that they would not be able to disturb his time with Jiang Yao.

After reaching the door to his room, Luo Xiao suddenly stopped and tried to calm his beating heart.

The rapid heartbeat was not caused by his decision to run up the stairs, but he was simply feeling eagerness and excitement when knowing that his lover was waiting for him inside his room.

Without knowing, a sweet smile appeared on Luo Xiao's lips, and he took a deep breath before opening the door and slowly entered the room.

Unlike his first expectation, Jiang Yao was not the first thing he saw as he came in; instead, the room had become somewhat dark, and seemed empty.

Such a situation had never happened before, and Luo Xiao frowned slightly. He had been eager to meet Jiang Yao, but now the man he had expected to meet was nowhere to be seen.

Frowning, Luo Xiao did not rush through the room, but slowly walked around, only to find that there was a person in his bed.

Jiang Yao was sleeping on his bed, in a completely unguarded posture that Luo Xiao had never seen before.

Although Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao had lived together for some time, it was not often that the demon prince would be sound asleep and not wake up when Luo Xiao came in.

However, looking at his current condition, it was clear that he was not faking his sleep. He was genuinely sleeping deeply, and the sight made Luo Xiao's heart beat rapidly, making him feel as if he was a cat who just stole a fish and tried to sneak away without being noticed by anyone.

Luo Xiao snuck closer to the bed, but he noticed that not even his approach woke up Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao was not an ordinary person, and he would not let anyone get close to him like this while sleeping. No matter how deeply he was asleep, the presence of another person should have alerted and woke him up.

However, seeing that he kept sleeping, Luo Xiao's heart was softened and warm. The only reason that could be behind his continued state was if he considered Luo Xiao no threat to him, and considered him as someone whom he could trust from the bottom of his heart.

Such unconscious recognition made Luo Xiao's heart beat even more wildly than it had outside before, and his eyes were filled with affection.

Jiang Yao had been busy in the past year. He had been putting up an act of being a grieving lover, and he still had to continue with his cultivation while also setting up a new power in another world.

At the same time, he also rushed back to visit him regularly, and although Luo Xiao would sometimes complain about his actions, he knew that the complaints were actually just covering for his worry.

No matter how strong Jiang Yao was, he was still a mortal. The constant pressure was already making him exhausted, but he still stood firm on visiting, and these visits were incredibly valuable to Luo Xiao.

Many thoughts flashed by Luo Xiao's mind as he looked at the sleeping man, and eventually, he shook his head with a helpless smile on his lips.

He quickly took off his outer robes and shoes before he climbed into the bed.

His movements seemed to have briefly awoken Jiang Yao, but as Luo Xiao was about to speak, a pair of strong arms reached out to buckle the younger man into his arms and look for the most suitable position to rest again.

"Silly."

Luo Xiao's soft voice reverberated through the silent room before he found a comfortable position to rest in the arms of his lover. Even just being by his lover's side would be able to bring happiness and peace to Luo Xiao.

"Xiaoxiao."

Luo Xiao was not sure when he fell asleep, but suddenly a hoarse voice full of tenderness roused him from the gentle darkness that had enveloped his mind.

Opening his eyes, Luo Xiao found that he was still lying in Jiang Yao's arms. It seemed that the demon had just woken up not long ago, as his voice was still slightly hoarse, and his entire body exuded an air of languidness.

When looking at him like this, Luo Xiao's cheeks flushed red uncontrollably, as he quickly averted his eyes and cursed the demon in his mind for being too attractive.

Although he was still fairly innocent when it came to matters between lovers, he was still very well aware of the way that Jiang Yao's appearance alone could bewitch him into losing his mind, and he felt it somewhat embarrassing.

"How are you?"

Although Luo Xiao was embarrassed by how attractive he found Jiang Yao, he still cleared his throat and asked.

Although he was happy to see Jiang Yao sleeping so soundly and considered him a harmless person to be trusted, Luo Xiao was still worried about what could have exhausted him to the point of needing to sleep this deeply before he could regain a clear mind.

"The upper realm is a bit more challenging and complicated than our Tiandi Continent. Although I have the ability to stand out, it requires a lot of effort to stay alert and also build a faction."

Jiang Yao was no longer treating Luo Xiao as a clueless young man who had to be protected. Since this young man had decided to stand shoulder to shoulder and face the world together, he would also show him the same respect and not tell him any lies.

"Although I can handle it, I still feel exhausted from time to time.. After knowing that you were on your way, I felt relaxed and fell asleep."
