Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299: Little Beta husband

Xiang Yu walked out of the medical bay, his steps heavy and his eyes devoid of their usual spark. He had never imagined that he would become such a person in this world.

He never thought he would be such a heartless being who would hurt Han Xin and make him miserable. He turned the corner and stepped into the dark shadow in the passageway. He slouched against the cold, wall, looking like his entire world had shattered.

Hex despite being excited for their new friendship, it didn’t dare disturb him. It could sense its master’s distress, which was startling. Since when had Xiang Yu felt empathy for anyone, let alone been distressed about Han Xin? The thought gnawed at Hex, almost frying it’s complex code. The only reasonable explanation it could come up with was that Xiang Yu’s soul had been replaced but the probability was 0.0000001.

Suddenly, Xiang Yu’s voice cut through the silence in his mind speaking to the Divine Emperor. "You did this on purpose, didn’t you?"

The Divine Emperor’s eyes widened in disbelief. Who would have thought he would be blamed for this when he had done nothing wrong? "Excuse me?" he exclaimed, his voice tinged with genuine surprise.

Xiang Yu’s lips curled into a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. "You didn’t like me getting along with your son, so you purposefully sent me to this world where he would hate me beyond repair, just so that I can never be with him."

The Divine Emperor didn’t let this pot fall over his head. "Do I dislike you being with my son? Sure. Would I keep him away from you by any means necessary? Normally, yes." Xiang Yu sneered, the darkness in his eyes rising like an ash cloud. The Divine Emperor continued, "I am guilty of all that, but I would never sabotage my son’s chances of waking up. If it takes my son marrying you in a thousand worlds and living the rest of his life with you, I would gladly take a step back."

This was indeed true. When the Divine Emperor had spotted a pattern in the past two worlds he knew he had to let it go. His son falling in love with Xiang Yu in each world directly correlated with an increase in success. He knew then that he couldn’t intervene anymore no matter how much he didn’t approve of this relationship.

Han Xin loved Xiang Yu to the point of invoking an oath equivalent to a death sentence for a divine immortal. Intervening now was futile.

It was during one of these surveillance sessions that Xiang Yu discovered a startling truth. In this world, Han Zhan had been the one secretly helping Han Xin build an army. Han Zhan had taken on another identity to enter the palace as an imperial guard. For years, he had laid low, watching over his cousin, who had no idea of his existence. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}
