Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309: Body pillow discovered

Xiang Yu had no idea that his secret purchase had aroused Han Xin’s curiosity. That night, he slept very well, cuddling the body pillow like it was the most precious thing in the world.

Hex, who couldn’t stand it, snorted, "Yu Yu, it doesn’t even look that comfortable to cuddle."

Xiang Yu replied with a smirk, "That’s why I am cuddling it and not you."

Hex retorted, "I would be more comfortable to hug."

Xiang Yu’s brow arched as he said, "You are really getting too idle."

If Hex had a mouth, it would have pouted. Instead, it switched off the lights, and Xiang Yu hugged the body pillow tightly. He would have preferred it be Han Xin in his arms, but he could only settle this for now. Xiang Yu slept very well these days, and his mood was so good it gave others the illusion that he had won the lottery.

Han Xin had been busy lately and hadn’t gotten the chance to sneak into Xiang Yu’s room to find out who he was in love with. Today, he finally had that chance when he heard that Xiang Yu was going to the healing capsule since it had started working as the seven-day cooldown period had passed. Xiang Yu would be in the medical bay for at least a day, so Han Xin had more than enough time to sneak into the man’s room.

Han Xin turned on the invisibility feature on his suit and slipped into the room. The room was dimly lit, making it difficult to see, but for a high-ranking alpha like Han Xin, his eyesight was sharp. He knew where Xiang Yu usually hid things that he didn’t want the Imperial Lord to find.

Xiang Yu had three safes in the room, and if he was hiding something, it had to be in one of them. He broke into the one behind the painting first, but other than a storage device containing his mother’s final will and testament and her belongings, there was nothing.

Han Xin closed the safe and moved to the one hidden underneath Xiang Yu’s desk in the study. His fingers deftly worked the lock, and the safe door swung open with a soft click. Inside, he found something unexpected.

In an era where physical papers were almost obsolete, it was rare to find them, but those who wanted to hide something often resorted to physical copies with no digital trail.

Inside the envelope in the safe was a picture of a mansion, its design, unlike anything in the republic. Han Xin’s eyes narrowed as he examined the image. Alongside it were three inactive communicators and a Stellar Vault.
