Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346: Baby this... Baby that

Xiang Yu’s glare was icy, his oppressive aura filling the room. The Imperial Lord watched his son, noting the barely contained fury. He made no move to intervene, allowing the tension to simmer.

"Maybe Father should send you to the Federation to marry one of their princes, for the sake of peace," Xiang Yu sneered, his words a calculated strike.

Peng Xiu’s composure shattered as she sat up ready to fight. "Peng Xiu!" the Imperial Lord’s voice thundered, silencing her outburst. She clenched her jaw, her eyes blazing with anger as she sat back down.

The room fell into an uneasy silence, the only sound the clinking of cutlery. When the appetizers were cleared away, Peng Xiu spoke again, her voice sharp. "I heard you have a new attendant. If you have no use for Han Xin, then give him to me."

Xiang Yu’s teeth ground together. He wanted to shout that Han Xin wasn’t a possession to be traded, but he restrained himself. Taking a sip of wine, he answered coolly, "No."

Imperial Lord Xiang’s gaze sharpened. "Is this true? Did you get a new attendant?"

Xiang Yu met his father’s eyes. "No, I still have some use for him." He forced a nonchalant tone, masking the importance of Han Xin to him.

Peng Xiu’s annoyance simmered as she realized how stubborn Xiang Yu was being. She couldn’t help but retort, "Some use like what? Like what they say on StarNet?" Peng Xiu sneered and said, "An alpha with an Alpha that’s disgusting."

Xiang Yu didn’t need to respond. Their father struck the table with formidable force, his voice booming, "That’s enough!" The furniture, designed to withstand the strength of alphas, cracked slightly under the impact. Peng Xiu wisely shut her mouth, but her eyes still burned with displeasure towards Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu, never one to shy away from a challenge, smiled at her, clearly taunting. Peng Xiu’s rage flared, but she restrained herself, plotting her revenge for later. She couldn’t wait to return to her palace and execute her plan.

After the main course was served, the Imperial Lord looked at his son and asked, "Have you taken a fancy to someone?"

Xiang Yu was momentarily startled, but his face remained impassive. He showed an amused smile and replied, "Father must be joking. I spend most of my time training and focusing on schoolwork. I really have no time to pursue anyone."

Peng Xiu let out a mocking laugh, but when her father glared at her, she stopped smiling, her expression becoming serious. She remembered how her father used to favour her more, especially when she was younger.

He despised Xiang Yu and never showed him off at banquets, until that pathetic woman, Xiang Yu’s mother, killed herself. Suddenly, their father blamed her and her mother for everything.
