Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359: Get out!

Xiang Yu’s expression shifted suddenly, a subtle change that did not go unnoticed. A sharp pain surged through his nerves, causing his brows to crease in discomfort. Hex sensed the shift and fell into a panic. In Xiang Yu’s mind, Hex’s voice was urgent. "There’s something in that drink. I am going to slaughter that bitch." By bitch, Hex meant Leia. He believed she had a hand in this.

Xiang Yu shook his head mentally, glancing at the scarred man standing a bit further away in the room with the bodyguards. They had allowed the group into the inner chamber after discussing their plans. Who would have thought his father was so desperate to get them together that he would send this man to stir trouble? A sneer crossed Xiang Yu’s lips as the drug coursed through his body.

"Everyone, get out," he commanded, his voice deep and authoritative. Lian and Mei jumped at the suddenness of it, and so did the others. When he repeated, "Get out," the urgency in his tone left no room for argument. The princess’s entourage turned to her, and after a quick nod, they complied. Xiang Yu’s bodyguards followed suit, retreating from the room.

As the door closed behind them, Lian and Mei rushed over, concern etched on their faces. "Master, are you okay?" they asked in unison.

Hex, with Xiang Yu’s permission, sent a message to the twins. When they read the message, their expressions turned serious having realized he had been drugged. Lian’s instinct was to fight, to confront whoever was responsible, but Xiang Yu’s voice cut through her thoughts. "We need to make them think they succeeded.

Leia looked puzzled. "Succeeded at what?"

Xiang Yu struggled to maintain his composure. Clenching his fists against the wave of pain that tormented him, he spoke to Sienna directly, "Your attendant and Lian and Mei should leave together."

Leia’s frustration flared. "Why would I leave you and Her Highness alone?"

Xiang Yu’s gaze hardened. "She can leave through the emergency door at the back." The manager of the establishment had ensured there was a discreet exit for clients, knowing well that people might come looking for them or that paparazzi might be lurking in the night to take unflattering pictures of his important clients. The original Xiang Yu had appreciated that feature, especially with his father watching his every move.

Lian and Mei exchanged understanding glances, quickly grasping his intentions. Princess Sienna appeared apprehensive, uncertainty flickering in her eyes. "It’s only temporary," Xiang Yu reassured her. "Your people can wait for you on the other side. You said you were willing to play along."

Sienna bit her lower lip lightly, her instincts telling her something was wrong with Xiang Yu. She had witnessed an alpha enter an unexpected rut before, and Xiang Yu was displaying all the signs. "I swear I won’t touch you," he added, his voice low but firm

Finally, after a moment of hesitation, Sienna nodded her head in agreement. The tension in the room shifted, and Xiang Yu felt a flicker of relief amidst the chaos, knowing he had bought them a little time.

Since the princess had agreed it left no room for Leia to disagree. She could only glare at Xiang Yu while threatening, "If you dare lay your filthy hands on her highness, I will chop off your third—" Her voice was fierce, cutting through the tension like a knife.
