Chapter 149 - Angry Miss Cao
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Luo Xiao had expected such a reaction, but before he had the chance to stop the woman, a layer of ice had already appeared on the ground, wrapping itself around her legs, firmly nailing her in place.
Everyone knew that Jiang Yao commanded the element of ice, and that his ice abilities had an extremely high offensive power. Usually, he would kill within seconds, but this time he had to consider her identity, and he held his killing intent back, merely forcing her to be stuck in the ice he had created.
Although it would be rather difficult to explain it if she died, Jiang Yao already had thoughts of ending her life. This was not due to her wanting to hit Luo Xiao, but due to the threat she would bring him later.
While she would not hide her actions in the dark, she was already at an opposing side to him and his faction; hence she could openly trouble Luo Xiao. Even if she killed him, she would likely be able to keep her life.
Jiang Yao would never allow his little lover to risk his own life when the danger could be curbed in the cradle. His eyes turned ice-cold, and the ice that was wrapped around Miss Cao’s feet slowly began to crawl further up her legs..ᴄᴏᴍ
The temperature within the room plummeted far below freezing point, and the expression on both Miss Cao and the manager’s faces turned frightened. The manager had appeared in the room as he felt uncertain of how to clean up the mess, but the view that greeted him made him feel worried from the bottom of his heart.
“Brother Jiang, how can you treat me like this?” Cao Lanying was full of fear as she glanced at the ice that was paralyzing her legs.
She knew that he did not like her, but he had always been somewhat respectful towards her as she came from a noble family that was at the very top of Cloudsoar City, but it seemed that he had lost all his patience the moment she tried to harm the younger man that was seated by his side.
Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao both heard the words that left Cao Lanying’s mouth, but neither of them seemed to pity the young woman who was caught in a perilous situation.
Luo Xiao was curiously observing the ice. He had only seen Jiang Yao act a few times, and every time, the person he had attacked had died within a very short time. The one who had managed to stay alive the longest was Ling Mo, but even he had become a puddle of blood within a few moments.
Jiang Yao noticed Luo Xiao’s curiosity towards the ice, and he lifted his hand, making an oversized ice crystal appear in it.
The ice crystal was beautifully shaped like a mixture of a flower and a star. The ice itself was transparent, and Luo Xiao instantly lost interest in the ice around Cao Lanying’s legs as he slowly raised his hand to touch the ice crystal in Jiang Yao’s palm.
The softness in the Seventh Demon Price’s eyes was enough to drown anyone who was at the receiving end. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Watching the two men show their affection without attempting to hide their feelings made Cao Lanying even more furious than the ice that had frozen her to the floor.
“Brother Jiang! Release me right at this instance! Also, get rid of that little mistress who is trying to steal you away from me! Do not get seduced by his appearance; he is not worthy of your attention!”
Jiang Yao’s mood, which had become good due to Luo Xiao’s apparent interest in his abilities, plummeted right as he heard her words.
“Miss Cao, you are in no position to tell me who is worthy of my attention. Also, you and I have never had any relationship. Luo Xiao is my righteous lover, and you are the one who is trying to become a third party.”
Luo Xiao could not help but glance at the ice that had currently reached the middle of her thighs, wondering why she seemed to be much more aggressive due to his position as Jiang Yao’s lover than fearing of being frozen to death by the ice that was slowly covering her body.
He could not help but shake his head while musing over the lack of brain that some people were born with.
He could understand that she was emotional about the news that Jiang Yao had a lover, but she had never actually been in a relationship with him. Also, the current situation was not suitable to confront such things. Should she not focus on getting away safely, rather than try to interfere with others’ love life?
Jiang Yao noticed the confusion on Luo Xiao’s face, and a smile spread on his lips as he leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on the forehead of the younger man.
The kiss was light and devoid of any lust. It was pure and full of love, making Luo Xiao feel as if he was bathed in warmth. A smile spread on his lips as he forgot all about the two people who felt more and more frustrated by the side.
The manager was starting to feel real regret. He had feared that Cao Lanying would destroy their restaurant if she was not allowed entrance into the room, but he had never considered the consequences of her death here today.
The Cao family would likely not be able to push the blame onto Jiang Yao, and as long as this Seventh Demon Prince swore to protect the younger man by his side, the only one that could atone for the crime would be the restaurant.
In the end, it would no longer be a question of just destroying their restaurant. It was likely that they would all lose their lives.
