Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Take responsibility general

Han Xin was well aware of their difference in strengths and wouldn’t hurt her. He accepted her challenge his blood surging with excitement. He charged his muscles coiling like a spring, ready to unleash a powerful blow.

Just as he was about to strike, Xiang Yu dropped low, sweeping Han Xin’s legs out from under him. Han Xin fell hard, the forest floor catching him unceremoniously. It was then he realised that he had grossly underestimated her.

Yes, Xiang Yu was on demon time. He was paying Han Xin back for all the times he pressed him down in their world, and it was incredibly satisfying. Gasps erupted from the soldiers and Han Zhan didn’t know where to hide.

If anyone asked him about his cousin, he might deny him and say he didn’t know him. Lian and Mei, on the other hand, were seeing things that others weren’t seeing. Their master was having more fun with this than he had in years.

Xiang Yu pounced, pinning Han Xin down, a triumphant grin plastered across his face. "General, you are losing face in front of your men," he teased, a sly smile playing on his lips as he leaned closer.

Han Xin’s breath caught in his throat, his eyes drawn to the curve of her lips, the way they quirked with mischief and something more profound. His heart pounded against his chest. Every heartbeat felt like a drumroll, echoing the truth he had desperately tried to suppress.

He had finally come to terms with his feelings for Peng Xiu, and now, with her so close, he felt his entire body go numb. He liked her—he liked her in a way that twisted his insides and left him breathless. The warmth of her presence enveloped him, yet the moment was laced with a tension that threatened to unravel him completely.

"The general should tap out," he mocked, his voice a sultry challenge that sent shivers down Han Xin’s spine. But before he could form a response, something primal surged within him.

With a swift movement, he flipped their positions, pinning her down in a turn of dominance. He thought she would explode in anger but she laughed shamelessly, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Now you have to take responsibility for me, General," Xiang Yu teased, his voice low. "And there are witnesses."

Han Xin felt a strange sensation in his chest, a mix of frustration and something deeper. "Aren’t you going to give up and tap out?" he asked, his voice strained.

Xiang Yu chuckled softly his gaze defiant and unyielding. "Not a chance," he said the thrill of winning the fight surging through him. He didn’t want to miss this opportunity. He raised his head, his lips brushing against Han Xin’s ear as he whispered, "I could do this all day. Let’s see who gets embarrassed first."

The challenge hung in the air like a tantalizing promise, and for a moment, he was lost in the depths of her gaze. But suddenly, an overwhelming tide of desire surged through him. His resolve crumbled in an instant.
