Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Peeping Tom

Xiang Yu’s face looked pale as the realisation of his phantom period settled in. He still believed that the Divine Emperor had it out for him because there was no way he couldn’t deal with this matter. Who would have thought that one day, this venerable one would be clutching his stomach with sore nipples?

He now understood why Lian got so angry during that time of the month and why Mei cried so much. The emotional turmoil felt like a vortex, pulling him in every direction at once. Overwhelmed, he pulled the quilt over his head and muttered, "Leave me to stew alone."

Lian and Mei exchanged worried glances, unsure how to comfort their master. They were about to suggest calling the physician when the carriage came to a stop. It was too early for them to set up camp, so what was happening? The twins peered out of the curtain curious to see what was going on. Yi Nuo approached the carriage her stature tall and imposing in her armour.

"We will be camping here tonight," she announced. "Her Highness can come with us to take a bath up the river." Lian and Mei knew that was impossible. Their master might look like a pretty lady but he was a man.

"Her Highness likes privacy," said Mei and Lian chimed in, "She is very shy but we can come."

Yi Nuo didn’t question it. She nodded her head and said, "We will be leaving soon so please get ready," before walking away. The girls’ faces lit up with excitement their heads slipping back inside the carriage. Han Xin, who had been petting his horse, glanced in that direction for a split second before looking away.

The twins, who had no idea that they were being watched, turned back to their master, excited to play in the water. Xiang Yu was still hiding under the quilt almost suffocating himself in there. "Master, we are going to bathe at the river," Lian said gently.

Mei added, "Do you need anything before we go?"

Xiang Yu’s muffled voice came from under the quilt. "You can go first. I will be fine." He could only wait till they returned to go take a bath. The twins hesitated for a moment, then nodded and left the carriage, eager for the refreshing bath. Xiang Yu remained under the quilt feeling like crap.

He tried to bear the cramps but it was like someone was slicing through his body tissue with a blunt knife. He couldn’t fathom how women put up with this every single month. Gritting his teeth he told himself to take it like a champ but soon he didn’t want to be a champ anymore.
