Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 506

Chapter 506: Can I call you dad?

It was a somewhat familiar, alluring scent. It was the same enticing scent that had lingered around Xiang Yu before.

Suddenly, overwhelmed by a mixture of reactions, Han Xin took a step back, his eyes widening slightly. Xiang Yu’s brows shot up in surprise.

He stood there, confusion swirling inside him like a storm. Han Xin’s behaviour baffled him. One moment, he was inviting him to come closer, and the next, he was stepping back as if repulsed by something.

Xiang Yu had never felt such hurt from being rejected by Han Xin before, and it stung deeper than he thought possible.

This was precisely why he had dreaded taking on that stinky job. He had known this would happen. The thought spiralled in his mind. If he didn’t find a sufficient water source soon, he worried he would not get laid in this world.

"Did you need me for something?" Xiang Yu asked, trying to mask his hurt. "If not, then I will go back."

Han Xin opened his mouth about to say, "Go back to do what? Hang out with that Da Hei kid?" But the words got stuck in his throat, swallowed by an unexpected annoyance at himself. What was wrong with him? Why did those thoughts even cross his mind? It felt as if he were losing his grip on rationality.

Xiang Yu noticed the silence stretching between them and turned to leave. Just as he did, Han Xin called out, "Wait."

Xiang Yu stopped and turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Han Xin suddenly said, "Follow me." Without another word, Xiang Yu fell into step behind him, maintaining a careful distance of at least five feet. They walked toward the supply warehouse near the canteen.

Han Xin’s tall figure was imposing and authoritative, exuding a quiet strength, while Xiang Yu trailed behind him like a little tail.

As they passed by, people greeted Han Xin respectfully, but their eyes turned to Xiang Yu with disdain. He could feel their glares, the hostility radiating off them like a palpable heat.

Xiang Yu met their gazes head-on, but he knew that while they wanted to rush over and beat him up, they wouldn’t. They knew he wasn’t a soft persimmon. The memory of the big man he threw in the manure pile was still fresh in their minds. Anyone wanting to pick a fight with him would have to deal with the consequences. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

Arriving at the warehouse, Han Xin greeted the manager with a curt nod before stepping inside.

Xiang Yu stepped forward, eager to follow Han Xin into the warehouse, but he was abruptly halted by the warehouse manager, a stern woman with a no-nonsense demeanour. "No, you can’t enter," she said firmly, her eyes narrowing at him.

She was fully aware that Xiang Yu was still regarded as the enemy, and there were certain areas considered sensitive, like the warehouse. It held everything from clothes to weapons. Allowing him in would be foolish, risking their security.

"Stay there," Han Xin instructed, his voice low and commanding, turning to face Xiang Yu.
