Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408: I will be quick

"Okay, where is it?" Xiang Yu asked.

As the elevator door opened, Xiang Yu pushed the trolley out into the Imperial study. Hex guided him, "Check his bedroom where he keeps his armour."

Xiang Yu pushed the trolley to the bedroom, opened the door, and quickly entered the walk-in closet. He found the full gear and asked, "Which one is it?"

"The small green one," Hex replied.

Xiang Yu grabbed the small green device and, on his way out, took a quilt from the bed to cover Han Xin. Hex explained how the illusion device worked. Xiang Yu quickly understood and chose to disguise himself as a maid pushing a cleaning trolley. He looked in the mirror but still saw himself.

Hex reassured him, "No, you will look like yourself to yourself but appear different to others."

"Okay, if I get caught, I will blame you," Xiang Yu muttered.

"Yu Yu, I am not wrong," Hex said, a hint of worry in its voice.

Xiang Yu opened the door while Hex urged him, "Hurry, there is no one."

He covered Han Xin’s face and pushed the trolley out. Soon, he exited the Imperial Lord’s bedchambers and was met with an Imperial guard standing by the door. The guard’s brow furrowed, seeing someone other than the Imperial Lord exiting the quarters. He raised his hand, blocking Xiang Yu with his sheath.

Xiang Yu instinctively grabbed the hilt of his dagger, ready to attack. The guard asked, "When did you get in here, young miss?"

Xiang Yu was surprised to hear himself being addressed as "young miss." It seemed the disguise had worked. "Oh, it was during shift change. There was a big brother who was here before," Xiang Yu said, hoping to sound convincing.

The Imperial guard looked at the stunning young maid he had never seen before and found her pretty. He glanced at her soft skin and cherry-plump lips. Xiang Yu recognized that look. It was the exact same look those men at the brothel gave his mother and the women who worked there. His expression suddenly hardened as he said, "Can I go now?"

The guard, wanting to prolong the interaction, asked, "What happened with the Imperial Lord? Did he break something again, and you had to clean?"

Xiang Yu wanted to say it was none of the guard’s business, but Hex read his mind and warned him not to be rude. So, Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Yes."

The imperial guard said, "Oh, thank you for your hard work."

He replied, "I will be leaving," and turned to push the trolley. But the imperial guard grabbed it to stop him. Xiang Yu was about to attack when Hex intervened, "Yu Yu, you can’t."

The imperial guard let go of the trolley, apologizing, "I am so sorry. I just... may I have your contact?"

Xiang Yu smiled stiffly, showing the ring on his finger, "I am married."

The guard looked embarrassed, "Oh, I am sorry. You you may leave."
