Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429: Little Xin

"The information is not cheap," Peng Xiu laughed, her eyes crazed as blood dripped down her nose. "I will tell you what you want to know if you marry me."

Han Xin expected this and wasn’t surprised. "Make me your imperial empress, and I will tell you where she is," Peng Xiu said with a hoarse voice.

Han Xin, even in his past life, had never seen or heard about his mother, so he didn’t believe her lies. With a flick of his hand, Peng Xiu hit the ground hard. Han Xin walked towards the door, ignoring her as she coughed vehemently, her eyes bloodshot.

As he passed her, she struggled to reach for his leg and grabbed it. "I am not lying," she said desperately. "Ask Marshal Wu about Project Starry Sky, then come find me. I will be planning our wedding."

Han Xin kicked her away and walked out. Han Zhan, waiting outside, asked, "What do we do with her?"

"Lock her up since she wants to be here so badly," Han Xin said, his voice devoid of emotion.

Han Zhan looked at Peng Xiu, who lay pathetically on the floor and didn’t ask what happened. He already knew that Peng Xiu had tried some shit and failed miserably.

Han Xin on the other hand had never heard of Project Starry Sky, so he was a little curious. Following behind him, Han Zhan watched as the crimson guards dragged Peng Xiu away, placing a prisoner collar around her neck. Han Xin turned to Han Zhan and said, "I am going to call the Marshal in my cabin. I need to speak to him urgently."

"Okay," Han Zhan replied, unable to hide the concern in his eyes.

Han Xin went into his cabin and commanded, "Zeus, call Marshal Wu."

Zeus’s voice echoed in the cabin, and soon a large floating screen appeared, covering the glass window. On the screen, Marshal Wu sat in the command chair on the warship bridge. Expecting an update on their progress, he stood up and bowed. "Yes, Your Majesty."

The mercenaries on the command bridge also got up and bowed, greeting Han Xin. "Carry on," Han Xin said, and the men sat back down, though they were still tense. His oppressive aura made them feel ill at ease.

"Marshal Wu, can we talk in private?" Han Xin asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Marshal Wu replied. The screen vanished as Marshal Wu assigned command to someone else and left the bridge. When he reached the captain’s cabin, the call reconnected. "Has there been news, Your Majesty?" Marshal Wu asked anxiously.

"You can say that," Han Xin replied, his expression unreadable and his aura suffocating. Marshal Wu didn’t know whether to be excited or worried. Han Xin’s demeanour made him suspect that the imperial lord was approaching his rut.

Since Han Xin had marked someone, the marshal knew that even military-grade inhibitors wouldn’t work. Han Xin had only two options: find Xiang Yu to deal with it or wash off any traces of Xiang Yu’s pheromones.

"What can you tell me about Project Starry Night?" Han Xin asked.

Marshal Wu looked confused, trying to recall. "Your Majesty, I don’t recall anything like that."
