Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306: The Imperial Lord’s secret.

As he turned to leave, Xiang Yu’s eyes became fierce. He gripped the doctor’s wrist to the point of breaking it and pulled him down. Doctor Bright was pulled down to meet Xiang Yu’s line of sight, and when he saw the hostility in the young man’s eyes, his blood ran cold. "You mention it to my father, and I will kill you and leave you with no body to be buried. Now do your job."

Doctor Bright swallowed and nodded before Xiang Yu loosened his grip. Soon, the room had staff walking in and out with bloody clothes, and the painful groans of a man could be heard through the door.

Han Xin had thought that Xiang Yu would be in his healing capsule, but he heard from the staff that Xiang Yu refused to use it. Han Xin’s brows creased. He knew Xiang Yu couldn’t endure any pain. Even for the smallest cut that would heal within hours, he would be eager to use the healing capsule. So what was going on? He wanted to see this for himself, so he walked up to Xiang Yu’s room. He was, after all, Xiang Yu’s attendant and wouldn’t be restricted from this area.

On his way, he was met with staff carrying blood-soaked cloths, their expressions distressed. He walked to the door, which was partially open, and saw a figure lying on the bed, rarely making a sound as the doctor treated his wounds. The two alphas of the Wu family were right by his bedside, looking so worried they could hardly focus on anything else.

Han Xin didn’t stay longer. He had already seen what he wanted to see. He turned to leave without looking back. Just because Xiang Yu had been reborn and took the punishment didn’t mean that would absolve him from everything that he had done to him in his past life. In this life, he wouldn’t even give Xiang Yu a chance to live one more day. He would speed up the end of his enemies, Xiang Yu included. This should be considered merciful.

The Imperial Lord Xiang entered his bed chambers in the palace, his movements graceful and elegant as he poured a drink from his crystal decanter into a glass. He swirled the glass, the strong aroma assailing his nose. "Genesis, summon my beloved," he commanded.

The Artificial Intelligence responded, "Yes, Your Majesty. Summoning Empress."

Hearing this, one might think Genesis was sending a message to the Imperial Empress to come and accompany the Imperial Lord, but that was not what happened. The floor pulled apart, and a cylindrical object rose from below.

The golden tube came to a stop, and the opaque surface disintegrated, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman floating in a clear liquid, her eyes closed, appearing peaceful. The atmosphere was eerie.

Xiang Yize sat down with the glass in hand. It was clear that the empress was long dead, but he still spoke to her as if she were alive and well. "My love, you wouldn’t guess what Yu-er did," he said, waiting for an answer in the silence that followed.

He took a sip, the bitter liquid burning his throat. "Haha, honey, you are always so bad at guessing. Well, let me tell you, he actually lured those Wu girls to his palace to make friends. Amazing, right?" Again, silence followed, as if he were waiting for her to respond.
