Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Yu Yu... at least show me your real face

Before Xiang Yu could talk some sense into Han Xin, the man closed the distance between them and captured his lips in a kiss that crackled with electricity.

Han Xin slipped the small key for her cuffs past their lips into Yu Yu’s mouth. Xiang Yu’s heart raced, having realised what Han Xin was doing, but he already had the key in his clenched fist.

The fact that Han Xin was willing to risk everything just to free him made his heart stir but he couldn’t allow it. He didn’t want Han Xin to suffer because of him. He didn’t want him to lose everything more especially after his true identity was revealed.

As the kiss deepened, he discreetly unlocked the cuffs, his fingers deftly opening the metal restraints. With a swift motion, he grabbed Han Xin’s wrist and pulled him closer, sliding the open cuffs onto the man’s hand and locking them in place against the wall.

Han Xin caught up in the moment, let out a muffled moan, his body responding to her dominance. He was now trapped, his wrist secured above his head, leaving him at her mercy. Xiang Yu pushed the key back into Han Xin’s mouth with his tongue, their saliva mixing in a sensual dance. When their lips parted, Han Xin stared at Yu Yu, his heart racing.

He had so many questions, like how she already had another key, and what she planned on doing next, but he couldn’t open his mouth to ask. He was overwhelmed by an inexplicable fear, fear of losing her. Fear that she might run away and he would never see her again. Just the thought of losing her made him feel an intense pain like a knife was being driven into his chest.

Xiang Yu panted, his breath ragged. "You should stay here and don’t implicate yourself. I will come back for you, I promise."

Han Xin’s heart throbbed unable to accept parting ways like this. Why couldn’t she just run away with him? He could protect her. Why did she have to work for Xiang Yu and put her life at risk? Was it really worth it? He wanted to convince her to leave with him, but knowing her, her mind wouldn’t change easily, so he settled for the next best thing. "Yu Yu, at least... at least show me who you are. Can I at least see your face?" he said his tone almost begging.

Xiang Yu had planned for this moment to be his big review but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He kissed Han Xin’s lips and said, "Be good and stay here. I promise I will come find you." He turned to leave, and Han Xin stood there frozen for a moment, his eyes bloodshot.

Xiang Yu pulled the cloak over his face, the fabric rough against his skin, and stepped out of the prison. Han Xin had done his part, leaving the prison unguarded, and now it was his turn to seize the moment. With determined strides, he merged into the bustling crowd, the city’s heartbeat pounding in his ears.
