Haha!
Having found out the truth, the White Tiger King could not help but burst out into laughter
as respect flooded his chest. "You're quite something, Honorable Master Darby. Putting the
great Empress Heidi's favorite servant through such turmoil.
"The thing is... You made up this whole deal about the Ghost Spirit Herb. What are you
going to say when you return without it?"
The White Tiger King's tone was laced with annoyance as he spoke.
"Also, what do you think about letting me do the work for you in taking care of that pesky
Cloud Spirit? How dare a mere servant abuse her power like this? She doesn't know what
she's dealing with."
Darryl smiled lightly. "That won't be a problem. If you could just give me some of your
demon tribe herbal powder, I can take it back and claim it's the Ghost Spirit Herb. They'll
never know. As for Cloud Spirit, don't worry about her. I've got plenty of ideas in mind on
dealing with her."
As he spoke, a thought seemed to come to Darryl. He could not help but ask, "Oh, didn't
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou just move here a few months ago? Why'd you mark the Black Swamp as forbidden
territory so soon?"
Whew!
At the inquiry, the White Tiger King's expression grew solemn. He drained his glass,
speaking with an unreadable tone.
"There's something you don't know, Honorable Master Darby. There's a seemingly
bottomless black hole in the Black Swamp full of powerful energy waves. They give off a
golden glow from time to time. A couple of our men fell in when we first moved here, and
we never saw them again. We had no choice but to mark the entire Black Swamp off as
forbidden territory to avoid further casualties."
A bottomless black hole?
Darryl stopped short instantly at the words, his interest piqued as he replied slowly, "That
sure sounds interesting. I'll have to see it for myself."
The White Tiger King's expression shifted instantly.
"Please don't take the risk, Honorable Master Darby. I've checked out the black hole
myself, and well... Those energy waves are really terrifying."
Darryl smiled as a fearless expression appeared on his face. "That's fine. I know what I'm
doing."
He was lucky enough to stumble upon the Red Lotus Fayette, which only appeared once in
a few thousand years. A mere black hole barely thwarted him at all.
"Alright!"
Seeing as no one convinced him otherwise, the White Tiger King smiled helplessly.
"Well, since you've insisted, Your Honor. I'll get some men to come with you. They can-"
He had not finished his sentence before Daryl waved a hand to cut him off. "That's quite
alright. I'll be fine going alone. It'll be better if the black hole isn't approached by a crowd.
Also, please make sure Cloud Spirit doesn't know about this." "Got it!"
The White Tiger King nodded, raising his glass to drink with Darryl again.
The banquet lasted over two hours, during which the White Tiger King had sorted out both
Darryl and Cloud Spirit's lodgings for the night.
They returned to the palace, only to find Cloud Spirit with a deeply panicked expression.
’You...’
Seeing Darryl amble over reeking of liquor instantly filled Cloud Spirit with rage. She
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmroared, "I waited a whole hour here for you, and you were out drinking? Very well, I'm
going to tell Empress Heidi all about this when we get back. Let's see what she does to
you."
At the thought of having been made to rub his back and shoulders, Cloud
Spirit practically grew purple with rage.
Darryl's expression was calm and fearless.
"Go ahead. Tell her everything. You should know what happened better than I did. Also,
you asked to pretend we didn't know each other in the first place, and here you are
blaming me now." ’I...’
Cloud Spirit's face flushed red, yet she had no response.
A few seconds later, Cloud Spirit scrambled to change the topic. She asked impatiently,
"When is the White Tiger King letting us go?”
Darryl asked lightly. "Go? We haven't gotten the Ghost Spirit Herb yet. Also, the White
Tiger King agreed to let me go into the Black Swamp to look for the Ghost Spirit Herb."
Cloud Spirit stopped short, her features morphing into joy instantly.
"Really? Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go get it as soon as possible."
She wanted nothing more than to get the Ghost Spirit Herb as soon as possible, refusing
to stay in that wretched place for a single second longer.
