Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 513

Chapter 513: "Watch your mouth!"

A woman beside him crossed her arms, glaring at Da Hei. "How could you betray your own people for this prick?" she spat, her voice dripping with disdain.

Xiang Yu pinched the bridge of his nose, irritation bubbling beneath the surface. "Who said he betrayed you?" he replied, cutting through the tension.

Mei, quick to grasp Xiang Yu’s intent, jumped in. "So Da Hei can’t come for medical treatment?"

Su Jing snorted coldly, her eyes narrowing. "You think we are stupid?"

Lian shrugged. "Kind of," she quipped innocently, her tone light but her gaze sharp.

Su Jing’s teeth ground together as she glared at Lian. "Watch your mouth!"

Xiang Yu bristled at the way Su Jing spoke to the twins. He rose from his seat, his expression fierce, every muscle in his body tensing with unyielding energy.

The air around him thickened, an aura so intimidating that several members of Su Jing’s group instinctively took a step back.

"What do you want?" he inquired, his voice calm but laced with an undercurrent of menace. The sound of his words sent a chill down their spines, making it clear he was not to be trifled with.

Though Su Jing masked her fear well, a flicker of hesitation crossed her face. But she quickly regained her composure and handed him a purple card. "Lu Lu is challenging you to a fight in the arena. It’s a fight until one taps out."

Xiang Yu’s mood had darkened ever since Han Xin left. He felt cooped up, energy swirling around him without an outlet. This was the opportunity he needed, the vent for his pent-up frustrations.

"When?" he asked, eyes narrowing with interest.

A sneer twisted Su Jing’s lips, satisfaction dancing in her eyes. She could see she had hooked him.

Xiang Yu stepped into the small arena, the noise of the gathered crowd washing over him like a wave. The place was packed with eager spectators, their voices a cacophony of excitement and anticipation.

They rarely had the chance for entertainment, and they had come in droves to see the infamous Xiang Yu, hoping to witness his downfall against Lu Lu.
