Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Baby, are you taking advantage of me?

Comments like "ohhh my, so shameless" "What a show-off" and "Who is this baby? I want to know pronto," "Baby, show yourself," and "I am baby, I just didn’t think that my man would hallucinate about me" flooded the screen. Lieutenant Joel saw these comments and couldn’t help but arch his brow. He was curious too. Who could this "Baby" be?

Xiang Yu’s face fell when he realized that his hallucination was fading. Han Xin’s face was becoming faint. "Wait, I will find it," he said, his voice tinged with desperation.

He looked around for the spore sprinter but couldn’t find it. It had probably run into its nest after seeing the shadow panther. Grabbing Han Xin’s hand, Xiang Yu started tracking it down.

People watching the live stream thought he was tracking the spore sprinter to kill it, but once he spotted it, he captured it by the mushroom head on its back. "Where do you think you are going?" he demanded.

The spore sprinter flared its legs and arms, trying to free itself, but it was pointless. Xiang Yu shook it until it was dizzy. The little creature couldn’t understand why someone would go against the script. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. It finally released some spores, and Xiang Yu was satisfied.

"Let’s go, baby," he said to Han Xin, smiling so happily you would think he had won the lottery. The barrage of comments was filled with laughing emojis. Xiang Yu had caught a spore sprinter so he could keep having hallucinations as he completed the task.

With renewed energy, Xiang Yu looked like he had been injected with chicken blood. He killed a razorwing bird, a swamp stalker, and a jungle titan like it was nothing. The entire time, he was lugging around his imaginary sweetheart, protecting them as if they were real.

Just as he was coaxing his "Baby" for a kiss as a reward, he sensed something big coming. He protected the imaginary Han Xin behind his back and raised his plasma rifle but saw nothing.

The spore sprinter in his pocket was so terrified it tried to get out and run away. If Xiang Yu wanted to die, then he should die by himself. Why involve a poor spore sprinter like itself?

Xiang Yu stopped it, shoving it back into his pocket and zipping the pocket shut. The spore sprinter, "..." It’s expression seemed to say, "I am deadly creature, not a fucking pet." It burrowed deep into his pocket and tried to bite its way through the fabric.

Xiang Yu’s senses were on high alert. He scanned the dense jungle, his eyes sharp and focused. The air was thick with tension, and the sounds of the jungle seemed to fade into the background. He could feel the presence of something massive, something dangerous.

In the observation room, Lieutenants Sian and Joel furrowed their brows. This beast was never supposed to be included in single-combat training. It was meant for team-building exercises, yet now it was right there, part of Xiang Yu’s simulation.

The creature was an acid-spitting nightmare. It was a three-headed viper with iridescent scales and glowing eyes. Its skin shimmered with a greenish hue, providing excellent camouflage in the dense jungle foliage. Each of its mouths was equipped with long, sharp fangs and specialized glands that produced a highly corrosive acid.
