Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Flat as pancakes

Xiang Wei sat gloomily at the dinner table, pushing his food around his bowl. He glanced at his brother hesitant to speak. Xiang Yu who was eating calmly beside him said, "Say it.

Gathering his courage, he finally asked, "Why are you still close to Princess Xiu’s maidservants?"

The twins who caught a stray for no reason, froze mid-bite. Their eyes narrowed, and they glared at Xiang Wei like angry chihuahuas ready to pounce. This was their master who had raised him since they were five. Who did this old uncle think he was to question their existence?

Xiang Wei was terrified of their fierce expressions. It was then he realised he had poked the hornet’s nest. He felt chills run through his blood making him tremble involuntarily. He leaned closer to Xiang Yu for protection. These two looked like creepy killer dolls on the prowl.

Xiang Yu looked up from his meal and met Xiang Wei’s eyes. "They have been working for me," he said simply. Xiang Wei’s eyes widened in admiration. It turns out that his brother wasn’t as infatuated. He was plotting against Yige country all along.

"You are so smart, brother. But I don’t understand what your plan is."

Xiang Yu smiled reassuringly. He placed his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don’t worry about it. I will be gone for a while. While I am gone, I want you to infiltrate Yige country."

Xiang Wei’s face lit up with excitement. "The ant farm plan!" he exclaimed. Xiang Yu had no idea what he was talking about but from the looks of it these brothers seemed to have discussed this before.

Lian couldn’t help but chuckle finding it hilarious. Who named a war strategy like that? She wasn’t the only one. Xiang Yu thought the same thing too. Which genius came up with that name? That genius was so excited his eyes lighting up.

"What’s the ant farm plan?" asked Mei. She had seen an ant farm before. Its intricate tunnels were like a work of art.

Xiang Wei was a little hesitant to talk about it in front of these two girls but his brother’s reassuring gaze relaxed his vigilance. "We infiltrate Yige in separate, inconspicuous groups using insecure routes on the map. Once we are inside, we converge at the capital and boom we attack and take over the capital," he eagerly explained his eyes almost beaming.

"When you reach the capital, wait for my signal," he instructed, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Xiang Wei nodded obediently, his eyes shining with fierce loyalty. "I am ready to ride into battle with you, brother, and bring glory to Zhen country," he declared, his voice filled with unwavering resolve.
