Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341: So much vinegar

Imperial Lord Xiang looked at his son’s face, which clearly looked happy, and knew this narrative would help, but that wasn’t the main issue. The main issue was who he was hallucinating about. He had to find out and nip this in the bud before it was too late.

Xiang Yu had no idea he was being plotted against by his own father. He had changed into his training gear and walked out of the changing room with a skip in his step. He was obviously in a good mood despite having suffered through gruelling hours of classes.

That was because Han Xin had sat beside him in every class and even had lunch with him. When Han Xin had asked to have lunch with them, Xiang Yu’s mind had gone blank for a moment.

Before Xiang Yu could even respond, Han Xin had said, "I am your attendant, remember? Naturally, I will go wherever you go." Xiang Yu had replied calmly, saying, "Sure," but he was doing cartwheels internally. The four of them had lunch together, and for once, it felt like they were back in the second world, having pleasant dinners together.

Xiang Yu sat next to Lian and Mei, who were looking at the training humanoid robot at the centre of the training mat. "What is going on?" Xiang Yu asked.

Lian said, "We are supposed to fight that thing."

Mei added, "Hand to hand. They said it’s new training to improve our endurance."

Lian sighed, "I say it’s torture, and Han Xin is the guinea pig."

Xiang Yu tore open the second packet of hangover nutrient supplement Han Xin had bought for him. As he drank it, his eyes were fixed on Han Xin, who was listening intently to Lieutenant Sian explain what to look out for during their training.

Just then, Peng Xiu peeked through the door of the training room, looking for Han Xin. She had been in class during lunch and had decided to buy him something to drink and chat with him a bit. But she saw he was engaged in a conversation with their instructor.

She decided to give the drink to someone else to pass on to him when she noticed Xiang Yu sitting in the stands, drinking the exact same hangover nutrient supplement and it was the exact same brand Han Xin had bought that morning. Peng Xiu knew her half-brother too well. He never drank such things, let alone bought them. He always drank the ones prepared specifically for the imperial family, so he must have gotten it from Han Xin.

Peng Xiu clenched the bottle of unsweetened iced tea in her hand, crushing it until it cracked. Xiang Yu felt a malicious aura coming from the entrance, so he glanced over. When he met Peng Xiu’s gaze, he smiled slyly and raised his middle finger at her.

Han Xin caught a glimpse of what Xiang Yu was doing and glanced at who Xiang Yu was looking at. When he saw Peng Xiu standing at the entrance, he instantly understood.

Peng Xiu sneered and stormed off. Xiang Yu laughed with Lian and Mei. When Xiang Yu met Han Xin’s sharp gaze, he instantly stopped laughing and mouthed, "What?"

Han Xin said nothing and looked away. He must have been stupid just now to think that Xiang Yu’s smiling face was cute. Xiang Yu was completely unaware that his smile had drawn a certain someone’s attention.
