Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549: Only after I pay you

Han Xin’s mind was a whirlwind after Xiang Yu’s words. He couldn’t think straight. The way Xiang Yu spoke, the charm in his voice, the subtle curl of his lips, it was intoxicating.

Han Xin couldn’t bear the thought of anyone else seeing Xiang Yu like this. The way he moved, the look in his eyes, it should belong to him and him alone.

He reached out, the back of his fingers grazing Xiang Yu’s cheek, trailing down the smooth skin. His touch was soft, almost reverent. Han Xin turned his hand, his thumb brushing close to Xiang Yu’s lips as he leaned in, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he swallowed hard.

His gaze lingered on Xiang Yu’s lips, the desire to kiss him again overwhelming. But before he could act, Xiang Yu spoke.

"I want to show you my plan," Xiang Yu said, his voice calm but firm. He gently pushed Han Xin back, creating a small distance between them, and walked over to the desk. He pulled out a sheet of paper and a pen, his movements deliberate and focused.

Han Xin stood there, his brain lagging slightly, a flicker of disappointment coursing through him. He watched as Xiang Yu glanced up, holding the pen. "Can I use this?" Xiang Yu asked.

Han Xin slid his hands into his pockets, his expression neutral, but his heart still racing. "You can use anything you want," he said, his voice low.

He walked over but stopped a few feet behind Xiang Yu, his feet rooted to the spot. He should have moved around the desk to stand in front of Xiang Yu, to see what he was drawing. But he didn’t. He stayed where he was, his gaze fixed on the back of Xiang Yu’s head.

Xiang Yu began to draw, the pen moving swiftly across the paper. He sketched the walls of the city, detailing the high structures. Then he added the vines of the mutated plants, weaving them into the design. When he finished, he turned slightly, his eyes meeting Han Xin’s. "Come look at this," he said.

Han Xin hesitated for a moment, his pride warring with his curiosity. But Xiang Yu didn’t wait. He reached out, grabbing Han Xin’s hand and pulling him closer. Han Xin stumbled forward, his thigh brushing against Xiang Yu’s back as he stood directly behind him. The proximity sent a jolt through him, his heartbeat quickening again, the calm he had barely regained shattered.

Xiang Yu pointed to the drawing, his voice steady but carrying a note of excitement. "We have the advantage point," he said, tracing the high walls with his finger. "Our walls are high, and we can spot the enemy from afar."

Han Xin’s eyes followed the lines of the drawing, but his focus was on something else entirely. He wasn’t paying attention. Not to the map, not to the strategy, not even to the words coming out of Xiang Yu’s mouth.

He was entranced, completely and utterly, by the strong, intoxicating scent of Xiang Yu’s body. The warmth of Xiang Yu’s body this close, the scent of him, the way his voice wrapped around every word... it was all too much.

"We need to arm the secure posts on top of the wall as well," he said, his finger tracing the outline of the city’s defences on the map. "In case they manage to get through the forest of vines, we will have to reinforce the perimeter." _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}
