Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Trying on master’s armour

The girls giggled as they watched the guard crawl away in fear, his eyes wide with terror. Once he was out of sight, they rushed to Xiang Yu, wrapping their arms around him with joyous smiles.

Seeing how innocent they looked now one wouldn’t think they were the same girls who tormented that grown man. They had lured him inside the tent claiming that one of them was having a seizure. The guard rushed in and noticed that one of them was lying on the ground shaking. After that, he didn’t remember what happened. All he knew was that he thought he was going to die.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Xiang Yu asked, his voice filled with concern. If he could he would count the number of hairs on their heads.

Lian pouted, "I’m hungry," while her belly growled. She didn’t know when she had last eaten.

"Master look. I chipped a nail," Mei added, showing her hand with a dramatic sigh.

Xiang Yu heaved a sigh of relief, a smile tugging at his lips. "Nothing serious then. Put on your cloaks, it’s cold outside." Given that they were complaining about small things it meant they were fine. He had been a little worried that the crown prince’s grace hadn’t extended to Peng Xiu’s maidservants but from the looks of it they were treated fairly well.

The girls hurriedly dressed in their mink coats that were on the bed, the soft fur brushing against their skin as they stepped out into the chilly night. Xiang Yu beckoned the guard named Yu Xan. He hadn’t gone far. He was afraid to leave the crown prince alone with the people of Yige even though they were women. If anything happened to him, he would have to follow him to the grave.

When the man walked over Xiang Yu instructed him to fetch some food. If the Divine Emperor could hear this, he would be pulling his hair out while saying that Xiang Yu wasn’t taking this seriously. Well, he might be right. He wasn’t taking this seriously. He was going to do it at his own pace and let the twins join in on the fun. Whether he could actually help Han Xin wasn’t his concern at this point.

The girls eagerly placed their orders like it was a bloody restaurant. Their eyes sparkled with excitement. "Noodles, dumplings, osmanthus cakes, and roasted chicken!" they chorused.

The guard was speechless, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. This was a military camp, and it was late at night. How were they supposed to make so much food in a short time? Xiang Yu noticed the guard’s hesitation and added, "Just get food that’s easy to prepare."
