Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 512

Chapter 512: The rat Da Hei

Su Jing stepped outside the medical centre, the air heavy with tension. She leaned against a cool wall, shifting her weight impatiently. Inside, Lu Lu was still beside his sister, lost in turmoil. Everyone in the city believed she had fallen into this state because of the attack during the wedding. Yet few knew the truth. She had stupidly faced a beast outside the city the day before. Determined to prove her worth to Lu Lu, she fought to show she was not just a child in need of protection.

For months, Lu Lu had kept her safe, treating her as fragile and vulnerable. She felt the weight of his love but yearned to be seen as capable. Instead, she returned injured and desperate, only to collapse during the chaos of the wedding ceremony. The attack had been terrible, but it was her own ambition and misguided bravery that led to her current state.

Su Jing knew the real story but refused to share it. No, she wanted Lu Lu to think it was Xiang Yu’s fault. Let him seek revenge, let the anger grow within him. She clenched her fists, anxiety and excitement swirling inside her.

Moments later, the door opened, and Lu Lu emerged, his face shadowed by a mix of concern and fury. The moment he stepped outside, he asked, "Where is Xiang Yu?"

Su Jing immediately recognized the fire in his eyes. "Well, he is around," she began, her voice smooth but purposeful. "But you can’t fight him like this. How about challenging him in the arena? That way, your revenge will be justified."

Lu Lu paused, the idea brewing in his mind. "Set it up and let me know," he said, his voice low and steady.

A thrill shot through Su Jing. She wanted to leap with excitement but restrained herself, maintaining a calm demeanour. "I will make the arrangements," she replied coolly, hiding her enthusiasm beneath a professional facade.

As Lu Lu nodded and turned back toward the medical centre, Su Jing felt a sense of satisfaction wash over her. This was what she had wanted. Her plan was fully in motion. She glanced at the sky, plotting her next move, determined to steer the course of fate to her advantage.

It had been three days since Xiang Yu had heard anything from Han Xin, and the silence gnawed at him. With no updates forthcoming, he decided to reach out to the Divine Emperor directly.

The Emperor was usually accommodating, providing updates about Han Xin’s whereabouts and activities. However, Xiang Yu was relentless. He would ask one question, only to follow it with a barrage of others. He was given an inch and he undoubtedly took a mile. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

Finally, the Divine Emperor had enough. After a final message requesting yet another update, the Emperor blocked Xiang Yu from communicating altogether. Frustrated and bored, Xiang Yu trailed behind the twins.

He followed them to the medical centre eager to see what they were doing. The medical centre buzzed with activity, and he learned that the twins were experimenting with new medicines made from mutated plants. The entire process fascinated him.

"Do you two have memories of the skill?" he asked, his eyes alight with interest.

"Oh, we do," Lian replied, her enthusiasm bright. "It feels like we’ve done this our whole lives."

Mei chimed in, holding out her hand. "Master, do you want to try this?"

In her palm lay a fruit as red as cherries, its glossy skin enticing. Xiang Yu hesitated, scepticism creeping in. "What is it? What does it do?"
