Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388: Praying for love and marriage

Peng Xiu, ever the intruder, chimed in without a hint of awareness. "We will come too! Let’s go together." Xiang Yu’s smile vanished not at her words, but that Han Xin had already pulled his hand back.

The four of them excused themselves and walked towards the grand hall where the temple of the Goddess of Love and Marriage was located. Han Xin was forced to walk a bit further away from Xiang Yu. He watched the four of them walk into the grand hall.

Just as he was about to follow with the other attendants, the priest in charge stopped them, saying it would be too overcrowded. This meant that only Xiang Yu, Sirius, Peng Xiu, and Sienna could enter.

Xiang Yu glanced back at Han Xin, reassuring him with his eyes. Han Xin’s tense shoulders relaxed, and he stepped back, waiting with the others. Inside the temple, the air was fragrant with the scent of rare flowers, and the gentle sound of water flowing from the sacred fountain added to the tranquillity.

The priest explained that if they were seeking blessings for their future unions, they should perform a couple of rituals. Sienna asked Xiang Yu, "Aren’t you going to participate?"

Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "No need."

Princess Sienna was visibly disappointed but still put on a smile and said, "I will pray for you too." _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

Peng Xiu had already started the rituals, meaning that it was only he and Sirius left. Sirius asked, "Aren’t you going to do it with her? It increases the chances of a happy marriage."

Xiang Yu replied, "I should be asking you the same question. You and Peng Xiu look good together."

Sirius smiled as he turned to look at him and said, "You know she is not my type... You are."

Xiang Yu realized then that he had to teach this prince some manners. He wanted to beat him bloody till his own mother couldn’t recognise him. He had to find the perfect opportunity otherwise he would have to put a sack over his head and beat his ass.

Meanwhile, the priestess anointed Peng Xiu and Sienna with sacred oils, invoking the goddess’s blessing for a harmonious and everlasting union in their futures. She gave them jade charms anointed by her chanting words of blessing. After she was done, Sienna walked over excitedly, and Xiang Yu asked, "Are you done?"

Sienna said, "Yes."

Xiang Yu said, "Let’s go."

Sienna wanted to gift the jade charm to Xiang Yu, but she knew he would reject it, so she put it away. They walked out into the large garden, which was ethereal and relaxing. As they passed the grand hall called the Sanctuary of the God of Safety and Health, Xiang Yu said, "I will be going in there."

Of course, Sienna and Sirius followed him inside. Peng Xiu, on the other hand, took the opportunity to speak to Han Xin. Xiang Yu had no idea that Peng Xiu took advantage of the chance to speak to his man. If he knew he might have dragged Han Xin into the temple.

Unlike the other temple, the air here was filled with the soothing aroma of medicinal herbs. Inside, they were to wash their hands at the Cleansing Fountain, write their petitions for protection, and chant the ancient Chant of Safeguard. This time, Xiang Yu happily participated.
