Chapter 205 - A Little Favor
Jiang Yi's curvaceous body attracted the eyes of the horde of youngsters that were enjoying the food in the banquet hall. They all stopped eating to admire her, but Jiang Yi remained unfazed by all those simultaneous stares.
In the midst of them, there were two youngsters that had been aggressively eyeing each other since the beginning. That enmity was something they had developed this morning, after they got in a deadlock because of their carriages.
Young Master Chen and Young Master Huang were impressively sitting on the same table, stealing food from the other, trying to always get the upper hand. That table was composed of the young nobles of the city, a table they were proud of being able to sit at.
Jiang Yi, had just arrived at the party meant to congratulate her, but she was totally uninterested on everything. She had to put a very beautiful long blue dress, since this was a special occasion for her, but after moving her head over the entire hall many times over, she wasn't able to see the person she wore that dress for. She wanted to entice him and lure in over.
The males struggled to take her eyes off her, but since their women started to get suspicious of them, they had to. That made them realize that devious imp aura was already affecting their lives just by her arriving at the scene.
Jiang Yi suddenly saw her father waving at her, signaling for her to go towards the main table, where her family was sitting.
"Father."
"My pretty little angel, please enjoy this party to the fullest, since it is a party exclusively for you."
"Thank you, father. Where are the rest of the guests?"
"There are some guests on the open area outside. However, they are probably some old officials and nobles we invited to increase our family prestige. The young people are all gathering in that table over there." Duke Jiang pointed to a distant table near the pile of gifts for Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi tried to find Seth's figure beside the people gathered there, but she wasn't able to find him, meaning she was not an important noble or hadn't arrived yet.
She was getting frustrated after realizing he may not have come and she needed to vent that feeling somehow, else she wouldn't be able to calm down.
That was when she remembered that she had seen Young Master Chen and Young Master Huang this morning. They were the ones that had blocked her way and didn't deserve to be here, but they were actually the ones enjoying the party the most.
A disgusted expression entered her face after she realized they were eating the food like two hungry pigs, swallowing everything without even stopping to chew it. She started to head towards that table, already thinking of making them pay for what they have done.
When the young people realized she was moving their way, most of them instead of getting pleased that they would be able to enjoy the banquet in the presence of a beauty, actually started to panic, getting drenched in cold sweat.
Jiang Yi approached that table with a blooming smile on her lips and greeted everyone.
"Hello everyone, what are you thinking of my party? Is it good?" While saying that, she stared towards Young Master Chen and Young Master Huang.
A chill run down their spines as they started to wipe their mouths and hands.
"T-Th-This party is awesome!"
"Yeah, me and my brother Chen are enjoying everything." Young Master Huang said, stunning everyone.
Just some seconds before, both of them were bickering with each other and sometimes even cursing in a low voice. However, in just a single phrase, he sounded like they were best buddies forever.
"Oh? You're enjoying everything?"
"Brother Huang is right! Everything is perfect!"
"Hm? Then since you're enjoying this party so much, would the two of you, mind doing me a little favor?"
Young Master Huang looked towards Young Master Chen, and the latter was able to see the light of despair passing through the eyes of the former.
"Eh... Uhm... I can't..." Young Master Chen tried to say in a low voice.
Jiang Yi narrowed her eyes and her lips rose in a beautiful arch and she asked: "Hm? You won't be able to help the person this party belongs to? Even though you're enjoying it for free?"
"No! It's not like that! Young Master Chen wanted to say he would be pleased to help you, Miss Jiang." Young Master Huang didn't waste the chance to throw Young Master Chen right at the eye of the storm.
Young Master Chen exasperatedly looked at him, but he couldn't deny a favor to Jiang Yi, even though that favor could be fatal for him.
But since he was already doomed, he wouldn't waste the chance to bring his new unfortunate pal with him.
"Miss Jiang, allow me and Young Master Huang to help you with anything you need."
Young Master Huang was inwardly laughing at Young Master Chen's predicament, but his mortal enemy had just brought him the same doom, making his laughter turn into desperation.
"Ehhh?! Is that so? Good! Come with me." Jiang Yi didn't waste any time and started to walk towards that pile of gifts she received.
Those two Young Masters were forced to stand up and follow behind her, silently praying it would be just a little favor.
When she stopped in front of that huge pile of gifts, they stood rooted, full of doubts regarding what she would ask them to do.
"Young Master Chen, Young Master Huang, I know both of you have a very kind soul, so I bet both of you will get emotional after hearing this story."
Jiang Yi paused and looked towards them before continuing: "All of my maids are suffering from a severe illness and are unable to bring these gifts to my room.. So, I hope you two can help me with that. I know both of you are at the Qi Gathering late-stage Realm already, so it wouldn't be that hard, right?"
