Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335: Baby you smell so nice

Xiao He nodded again, his eyes wide with fear and desperation. With a swift motion, Xiang Yu kicked him to the ground.

Xiang Yu pulled his hair back as Xiao He coughed vehemently. "Get lost," Xiang Yu commanded, his voice dripping with disdain. Xiao He didn’t need to be told twice.

He got up, still coughing, and stumbled twice as he scurried out of the room, his footsteps echoing down the passageway.

The steward, his voice tinged with concern, asked, "Your Highness, how do you plan to handle this?"

Xiang Yu slumped in his chair and spun it around, his expression unreadable. "I need time to think. You may go," he replied, his tone weary yet resolute.

The steward hesitated, worried that Xiang Yu might still be under the influence of alcohol. He wanted to stay and watch over him, but the cold, unyielding back of the crown prince made him reconsider.

"Your Highness, if you need anything, please call me," he said, his voice softening with genuine concern.

Xiang Yu raised his hand casually, signalling his acknowledgement, and the steward walked out.

Han Xin reached his room at the staff quarters and found people carrying his things out. From the pictures sent to him, Han Xin knew how extensive the damage to his belongings was, but he hadn’t expected to find people moving his things out. He walked over, asking, "Miss Lou, where are you taking my things?"

The older woman who was supervising everyone, looked up. "Oh, you are back. His Highness said we should clean out the mess."

Han Xin, usually cold and aloof, laughed cynically, his voice low but audible to those around. Miss Lou realized that Han Xin must have misunderstood Xiang Yu’s intentions, so she hurriedly explained, "His Highness wants us to wash what can be washed and repair what can be repaired. As for those we can’t salvage, it would be up to you to decide."

Han Xin’s expression changed. He was no longer laughing but surprised, though it didn’t show on his face. "Alright then, where can I get spare bedding?" he asked, looking through the door and finding everything, including the mattress, gone.

Miss Lou replied, "You won’t be sleeping here anymore. To better serve His Highness, you will be moving to the same floor as him."

Han Xin was so surprised this time that his brow arched slightly. Miss Lou told him to follow her. She led him to the only other room on the floor. He glanced at the two double doors to the east of the floor that were shut and couldn’t help but wonder what Xiang Yu was thinking. Miss Lou walked with him down the hallway towards another set of double doors in the west.
