Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 559

Chapter 559: Say it again, I dare you

Han Zhan used a handkerchief to grasp it, then tossed the capsule a few feet away from the assassin, a mocking smile on his lips. "There, you earned it."

"Please..." the man gasped, desperation creeping into his tone. His mind raced, calculating how he would crawl over to the capsule. Han Xin turned, walking away, heading back to find Xiang Yu, leaving the man behind in his suffering.

Han Zhan and Kai Wang exchanged glances, the corners of their mouths lifting in sneers as they watched the assassin wail, his longing for death turning into an agonizing reality. The man attempted to move, but his arms were twisted at unnatural angles, bones broken and useless.

He strained with effort, feeling hopelessness close in around him. It was clear, he had not been fated to die a quick death. In his despair, he stared up at the sky, cursing them all, wishing for vengeance even as the pain threatened to consume him whole."

"Lian and Mei sat comfortably on top of the car, their legs swinging freely in the warm breeze. Beneath them, the vast expanse of open land shimmered under the sun.

The two girls munched on dried fruits, their eyes trained on the horizon where Xiang Yu’s car had disappeared moments earlier. Da Hei lounged nearby, with an unmistakable sullen look on his face.

Noticing his silence, Lian nudged Mei with her elbow, both girls exchanging glances that spoke volumes. They mouthed signals to each other on who should talk to him first.

In the end, Lian silently held up her hand and mouthed "rock, paper, scissors." Mei sighed but nodded, ready to engage in the friendly battle. They faced off, hands poised, excitement bubbling between them. They shouted "Go!" in unison, and the first round began. Lian chose paper, while Mei picked rock. "I win!" Lian cheered, her smile wide.

They tried again, but this time Mei emerged victorious with scissors against Lian’s paper. The tension built as they entered the final round, their expressions determined. Just as they were about to shout "Go!" a voice interrupted.

"How childish," Su Jing remarked, arms crossed and eyebrow raised.

Lian and Mei spun around, glaring at her with intensity that could cut through steel. "Sister Jing, who are you calling childish?" Mei snapped, her hands on her hips.

"Yeah, who?" Lian echoed, her tone fierce.

Su Jing sneered at them but couldn’t suppress the shiver that ran down her spine. She knew these two were usually sweet, but when angered, they resembled two fierce warriors ready to attack.

"Say it again. I dare you," Mei challenged, stepping forward.

"Yeah, say it again," Lian added, nodding emphatically.
