Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Night Visit [PART 2]

"Yao Yao, why are you here?" Xiang Yu asked as he deactivated the formation with a wave of his hand. The arrays shimmered and dissolved, allowing her to pass through.

Li Yao didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she reached out and tugged at his robes with trembling fingers, her movements a little hesitant.

"You lied," she spoke, her voice so quiet he had to strain to hear her words.

"What?" Xiang Yu asked in confusion as he studied her downcast expression.

"You lied," she repeated, this time a little louder.

"You said you wouldn’t go," she continued, her grip on his sleeves tightening.

Xiang Yu finally understood what she was talking about. He wondered if she had actually been awake during that moment earlier. He had thought she was simply having a bad dream.

He looked down at her, but she kept tugging at his sleeves, her gaze fixed firmly on the ground, not meeting his eyes.

"Yao Yao," he called out gently, reaching up to lift her chin so she would face him.

She didn’t resist his touch and slowly looked up at him. Her eyes held a vulnerability he rarely saw in her which made his heart ache a little.

Xiang Yu wondered what he should say to comfort her. But before he could speak, she suddenly fell forward onto his chest, her arms wrapping around him.

"I was really scared," she spoke against his robes, her voice muffled but filled with emotion.

"When I heard what happened, I was really scared," she continued, her words coming faster now.

"When I imagine how close I was to losing you, it really scares me," she spoke, her grip on him tightening.

"When I close my eyes, I try to imagine what would’ve happened if I really lost you," she said, but her voice was now different, making Xiang Yu’s blood run cold.

"Do you know how it feels?" she asked, pulling back slightly to look up at him.

That’s when he saw them, her eyes were glowing a brilliant red color. No, they weren’t actually glowing. She was bleeding from her eyes.

Xiang Yu was so shocked by the sight that he couldn’t respond.

"See, even senior brother can’t imagine it," she spoke, letting out a smile that sent shivers down his spine. The expression was wrong, this wasn’t the Li Yao he knew.

"It’s the same for me. When I try to imagine it, I see nothing but blood everywhere. Nothing but corpses. Master, martial aunt, everyone. The world itself comes to an end. I don’t see a world without you," she continued, her grip tightening even further and her unsettling smile growing even more.

Xiang Yu tried to pull himself free from her embrace, but he couldn’t move. She was just holding him casually, yet he found himself completely immobilized. What did she mean by "no world"? Would she actually destroy the entire world? Was that even possible?

"Yao Yao, calm down," he tried speaking.

But she wasn’t listening anymore, lost in her own spiraling thoughts. Her smile grew even more menacing, and her spiritual aura began flaring around them.

"It really pains me, even just thinking about it," she spoke, her voice becoming increasingly unhinged.

"I was too careless. It’s too dangerous to leave senior brother alone. Someone is always targeting me, trying to get senior brother from me," she started speaking rapidly, her words tumbling over each other in a frantic rush.

"But who is it?" she continued without waiting for an answer, her eyes darting around wildly.

Xiang Yu continued trying to get her attention, calling her name and attempting to break through to whatever rational part of her remained, but she was completely lost in the sauce.

"No, I can’t be sure who it is," she spoke, her aura flaring up even more intensely, creating distortions in the air around them.

"Then I have to get rid of everyone,"

Her spiritual pressure exploded even more.

"That’s right, this way, only I and senior brother remain. We can love each other forever, just the two of us. Beautiful, isn’t it? Just thinking about it..." she continued, her voice taking on a dreamy, almost euphoric tone.

Before she could spiral any further into her delusions, Xiang Yu acted on pure instinct. He held her firmly with both hands and pressed his lips against hers. It was more to shut her up than anything really.

She was startled by the sudden kiss, her eyes widening in shock as her grip on him loosened just enough for him to move again. But Xiang Yu didn’t release her, continuing the kiss until she finally let go of him completely, her aura gradually subsiding.

"Mh," she answered with a small sound, leaning back slightly into his embrace. _{f|ree(w)ebn\o.vel.com}
