Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315: Losing control

AN: So sorry for the delay. It’s christmas time and its getting harder to find time to write. I hope you enjoy this Chapter.

Xiang Yu was dragged to the cafeteria by Lian and Mei, who were acting suspiciously. He knew them too well to be fooled by their innocent expressions. They were hiding something, but he didn’t ask. His stomach was growling louder than usual, demanding attention. Xiang Yu was so hungry he felt he could eat an entire fridge.

The physical and mental power of a high-ranking alpha was taxing, and as a modified alpha, his needs were even greater. Alphas consumed a lot more to sustain their strength and mental acuity, making nutritional supplements essential. A single pack could do what a whole turkey couldn’t for their stomachs.

As they reached the canteen, heads turned and whispers filled the air. Xiang Yu had never set foot in the cafeteria since he enrolled. His status afforded him a separate dining area, where his chef personally delivered his meals. If he wasn’t eating in his secluded space, he dined at a nearby restaurant that catered exclusively to nobles, with a private room always reserved for him. It was no wonder people were staring at him as if an extinct animal had just appeared.

Xiang Yu ignored the curious and judgmental gazes as he sat down, following Mei and Lian’s insistent gestures. They told him to wait and they would bring him food. They claimed they were simply performing their filial piety towards their master, but to the onlookers, it appeared as though Xiang Yu was bullying them.

Whispers spread through the cafeteria, with some students thinking it was too much. Not only did Xiang Yu bully their class president, but now he was also targeting their idols. It was unacceptable in their eyes.

As Xiang Yu waited, his communicator buzzed with a notification. He tapped on the bouncing bubble, his eyebrows arching as he saw the posts from a forum on StarNet with the hashtag "clown prince." With his communicator set to privacy mode, no one could see what he was looking at except Han Xin, of course. Xiang Yu noticed that the posts were ones the original Xiang Yu had read anonymously.

Most of them were filled with humiliating comments or people speaking ill of him. The original Xiang Yu had even tried to defend himself anonymously, but it only made him seem like a brainless fan of himself.

Xiang Yu thought reading such posts was self-torture. Why did the original Xiang Yu subject himself to such pain? He swiped up, seeing that the recent posts were all about him from this morning.

Some of the titles on the forum were harsh. They were titles like, "Who is the Clown Prince Pretending For?" and "When Did the Wu Twins Turn into the Clown’s Lackeys?" One post even mentioned how Lian and Mei had brought food for Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu knew that the person who wrote this post was watching him.

With a slight turn of his head, he scanned the sea of students. Their laughter dimmed as his gaze swept over them. When their eyes met him, they quickly averted their stares like mice caught in the gaze of a hawk. But one pair of eyes remained locked with his, unyielding and provocative.
