Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT)
Chapter 85: Peeping Tom

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.

He got up and slipped on his shoes in a hurry. That physician better give him a sedative or something and if he refused, he planned on beating it out of him. He jumped out of the carriage with no sense of his identity as a lady.

The camp was unusually quiet, with only a few men guarding the perimeter. Xiang Yu scanned the area for the old physician but couldn’t spot him. He approached one of the soldiers to ask them where the old man went. The soldier pointed towards the forest. "The old man went that way, probably looking for herbs," the soldier said.

Xiang Yu thanked him the smile on his face so mesmerising that the soldier couldn’t help but stare. Unaware that he put another man under his spell, he lifted the hem of his skirt and made his way into the forest.

The soldier followed the disappearing figure only for his back to feel cold, like he had been splashed by ice-cold water. It was like a predator was watching him from afar. He turned around but didn’t see anything. When he glanced back at the princess she was already gone.

The forest wasn’t particularly dense. The sun streamed above his head as he walked through the forest cautiously. He followed the narrow path, hoping it would lead him to the old man. Before long, he heard the sound of rushing water and the distant murmur of voices. The voices sounded deep and hoarse so it must be where the men were.

With no regard to his current identity, he approached the riverbank. The voices grew louder and louder. It was the sound of soldiers laughing and chatting while bathing. Xiang Yu’s curiosity got the better of him, and he moved closer to see if the physician was among them. The old man was there, alright plus plenty of soldiers in the nude, their pale butts that had never seen the sun right in his face.

Xiang Yu had been to the bath house plenty of times so the sight of a man’s bare ass and dangling walnuts was not shocking to him. The old man was in waist-deep water in the nude while reprimanding the young folk for talking shit about his pot belly. Jun De was standing tall like stature showcasing his goods for the world to see. Unbeknownst to him, a certain someone had followed him into the forest.

Han Xin had been watching her ever since she left her carriage. He thought she had left with the female soldiers, but it turned out she had remained behind. When he saw her walking into the forest, he followed after, curious about what she was plotting.

He moved with the stealth of a shadow, his presence unnoticed until he was right behind her. If this was the old Xiang Yu he would have felt his presence a long time ago. His vigilance wasn’t as good in this body. By the time he realised something was wrong, it was already too late.

Peng Xiu was staring at the soldiers who were fully in the nude. Han Xin was pretty sure she was staring at Jun De’s toned muscles admiringly. In one swift motion, he grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him. Startled, Xiang Yu’s instincts kicked in, and he tried to pull away from him, but the difference in strength between them was obvious.

Han Xin’s grip tightened as he seized her other arm preventing her from escaping. Xiang Yu glared at him, his eyes blazing with defiance. "What are you doing?" he demanded.

Without a word, Han Xin began to drag him deeper into the forest.
