Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 518

Chapter 518: Holding hands.

Watching this entire exchange from a distance, Han Zhan’s disbelief deepened. He could see that Han Xin was distracted almost disoriented by Xiang Yu’s presence.

Han Zhan had been observing his cousin’s reactions, growing increasingly concerned about Xiang Yu’s influence over him. He could see that Han Xin was slowly lowering his guard around Xiang Yu.

"We searched there thoroughly," Han Zhan spoke up, breaking the charged silence. "There was nothing."

Xiang Yu finally turned his attention to Han Zhan, surprised to see him standing there. "Oh, you’re here," he said casually. "Trust me, there is water there."

"Okay," Han Zhan replied sceptically, crossing his arms. "Are you willing to stake your life on it?"

Xiang Yu smiled with easy confidence in his demeanour. "Sure. If you don’t find anything, you can execute me." His lighthearted tone clashed with the weight of the words, an invitation to trust him.

Han Xin clenched his jaw, irritation simmering just beneath the surface. "Let’s head out," he said tersely, turning on his heel.

Han Zhan sensed his cousin’s anger but couldn’t pinpoint its cause. Han Xin had already moved ahead, leaving Xiang Yu to follow alongside Han Zhan.

"Which car should I go in?" Xiang Yu asked, glancing toward Han Zhan.

"You are with Su Jing," Han Zhan replied, his voice steady despite his concern.

Xiang Yu felt a flash of disappointment but kept it hidden behind a mask of composure. He turned and walked toward the car where Su Jing was preparing her gear.

Su Jing sneered as she saw Xiang Yu approach, her posture rigid with authority. "This is my little friend," she declared, her voice dripping with condescension.

In a swift motion, she pressed a button on the device she held, and a jolt of high voltage surged forth. Electric sparks shot out, intense and terrifying, making the air crackle. Calling it a taser would be an understatement.

But Xiang Yu stood firm, unyielding. The display of power didn’t seem to faze him in the slightest.

"Listen carefully," Su Jing warned, her voice low and menacing. "If you breathe wrong, I will use it. If you are mouthy, I will use it. And if you look at me wrong..."

After a beat of silence, Xiang Yu interrupted, his tone flat. "You will use it."

With a glint in her eyes, Su Jing replied, "I will use it. Now that we have come to an understanding, get inside the car."

Xiang Yu sensed a sadistic pleasure lurking in Su Jing’s smile, a feeling that she would enjoy using that device just for the thrill of it. He took a breath, steadying himself, and climbed into the car, settling into the seat as she slid in next to him.
