Soft, warm, and fragrant; easily pushed over; the obsessive demon king becomes addicted to pampering

"Look, it's Young Master Jiang! Wow, he's as handsome and extraordinary as ever!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed, instantly drawing everyone's attention to the slowly approaching figure.

"Huh? But who is that girl next to him? She's quite pretty!"

“I don’t know? I’ve heard of almost all the young ladies from prominent families in this entire Lin Yuan City! But this girl… um… she’s really unfamiliar. I’ve never seen her before! Could she be from one of the other major domains?” Another person stepped forward, frowned, and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Who knows! Tonight's banquet isn't just attended by many people from the major and minor families of Lin Yuan City. I heard that even some powerful forces from the Northern Continent have sent representatives. Perhaps she's a princess from some great family!"

"Is that really so? The Jiang family truly lives up to its reputation as a super family! They've even managed to invite those major powers from the Northern Continent to this banquet. That's truly impressive!"

Those around couldn't help but sigh in admiration, their gazes towards Jiang Chenyan filled with even greater awe.

The crowd whispered among themselves... and turned their gazes once again to Jiang Chenyan and his companion, who were approaching.

Tong Guang sensed the aura of the people around him; most of them were cultivators! There were also some ordinary humans, and even... some with faint demonic power.

Seemingly sensing the girl's thoughts, Jiang Chenyan lowered his voice and moved closer to her, "Don't worry, they won't know your identity!"

Following the murmurs of the crowd, Jiang, Qiao Yeru, and the others looked over and saw Jiang Chenyan walking towards them. He rarely dressed so formally.

His light-colored suit made him look even more handsome and dashing, and a gentle smile always graced his face.

Like a warm breeze in March, just looking at it warms the heart...

Almost simultaneously, everyone's gazes were fixed on the girl beside him.

She wore a light green, misty long dress, like a clear spring in a mountain stream, pure and pristine! It hugged her graceful figure, outlining a captivating and alluring curve.

Her long, light brown hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, exuding a languid and carefree air, like an innocent forest sprite newly arrived in the mortal world…

Jiang and Qiao hurriedly came forward, their faces showing a hint of anxiety. "Brother, where have you been? Sister Ruyan and Brother Rufeng have been here for quite a while!"

"Sorry I'm late!" Jiang Chenyan glanced at everyone and greeted them one by one with a smile.

Ye Ruyan looked at the girl with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She hesitated, wanting to speak, but seemed somewhat uncertain.

Seeing this, Ye Rufeng asked with a smile, "Chen Yan, aren't you going to introduce this young lady?"

"This is my friend, Tong Guang!"

Tong Guang smiled and nodded, politely greeting everyone, "Hello!"

Jiang Yuqiao jumped to Tong Guang's side, her eyes filled with amazement, "Wow~ you're so beautiful! My name is Jiang Yuqiao, and you look about my age, so let's call each other by our first names!"

Her enthusiasm caught Tong Guang off guard, and he could only smile and nod, "Okay!"

Jiang and Qiao were naturally outgoing and attracted to good looks. They were also guileless and easily intrigued, so they developed a strong interest in Tong Guang and were naturally very happy to become friends with her.

Their eagle-like gazes were fixed on her the moment the two entered the hall, seemingly able to see into her very soul.

An immense pressure surged forth like a tidal wave, enveloping Tong Guang, who immediately felt suffocated.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her breathing instantly became difficult. This terrifying cultivation level—even if she recovered all her demonic power, she probably wouldn't be able to contend with it.

Her bright pink eyes looked at the person sitting in the center of the hall—Jiang Huaquan!

Jiang Chenyan's father is testing him!

Tong Guang gritted her teeth and quickly mobilized her demonic power to resist the powerful aura. Her body trembled slightly as she forced herself not to show any abnormality and tried her best to maintain a calm demeanor.

Everyone in the hall sensed the terrifying pressure emanating from the girl, yet no one intervened.

To be frank, the people who came to the banquet were only using it as an opportunity for aristocratic families to network and build connections.

As the eldest son of the prestigious Jiang family, his every move naturally attracted everyone's attention, even that of the woman beside him...

They were also curious about the girl's identity, because they could not sense any demonic or spiritual power from her.

Of course, they wouldn't believe that the young master of the Jiang family would choose an ordinary person as his female companion!

So... is this girl really just an ordinary human being? Or is she hiding some secret?

Even though she possesses powerful magical artifacts that allow her to conceal her aura, true experts can always detect some clues about her abilities...

Jiang Huaquan frowned deeply. He couldn't sense the girl's aura at all... but he was certain that this girl was no ordinary person without any cultivation.

To be able to conceal one's aura under his terrifying pressure, and to remain so calm and composed...

Then there is only one possibility: this girl's cultivation level has surpassed his!

How could this be... Jiang Huaquan immediately dismissed his own thoughts. In the entire cultivation world and demon world, there were only a handful of people whose cultivation could surpass his!

He refused to believe he couldn't detect it! He increased the pressure again, and this time Tong Guang visibly swayed, his delicate brows furrowing slightly...

At the same time, the crimson silver moon bracelet on her wrist shimmered with a faint luster, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

Jiang Chenyan gently placed his large hand on the girl's fair and delicate shoulder, and in an instant, the terrifying pressure receded like a tide.

Tong Guang lowered his head and let out a soft sigh, trying to calm his wildly beating heart!

Jiang Chenyan held the girl tightly behind him, his gaze sharp as he looked directly at Jiang Huaquan on the head seat. He spoke in a deep voice, "Father, she is my friend!" Every word was like a heavy hammer blow, steady and powerful!

Jiang Huaquan felt somewhat helpless, and then he concealed all his aura.

Nothing more...

He knew his son's temperament better than anyone else; if his son wanted to do something, even he, as his father, could not sway him.

Jiang Huaquan stood up and walked to the group, his sharp gaze fixed on Tong Guang. He said with a forced smile, "Miss is truly a master. I was just itching to show off a bit earlier, please don't take offense!"

She raised her eyes, meeting Jiang Huaquan's scrutinizing gaze without fear, and simply smiled faintly: "Uncle, you flatter me."

Upon hearing this, the curiosity of everyone in the hall about Tong Guang intensified. Who was this person who could remain unharmed under the pressure of the Jiang family head?

Ye Ruyan and Ye Rufeng exchanged a glance and both chose to remain silent, as if by unspoken agreement.

Jiang Chenyan's expression hardened slightly, and he was about to speak when he was interrupted.

"Dad, what are you talking about?... What expert? What showing off?"

"I'm completely confused by what I'm hearing."

Jiang and Qiao looked completely bewildered; she was the only one who was utterly confused about what had just happened in the hall.

She clung to her father's arm and asked in a coquettish tone.

Jiang Huaquan chuckled and gently patted her head, his eyes full of affection. "You silly girl, instead of focusing on your cultivation, all you think about is playing! You don't even know what's going on."

"I just don't like cultivating! It's so boring..."

"Okay, okay... My darling Qiaoqiao, if you don't want to cultivate, then don't. Daddy will protect you for the rest of your life... okay?"

"Hehe... I knew Daddy was the best!" Jiang Yuqiao leaned happily on Jiang Huaquan's arm.

"Joe, let's go chat in the front yard!"

"Okay, Sister Ruyan!"

Everything that just happened was turned over in laughter!

No one cared whether Tong Guang was injured...
