Darryl continued to turn around to check on Yvette. Her face had become even paler, so he was worried that she would pass out soon. "Mother." Yvette bit her lips and said weakly, "If you don't want Darryl to take you, I can still... can hold on..." Her voice was soft; she was exhausted. Yvette felt touched when Darryl offered to take the Empress with him. However, there was nothing they could have done if the Empress disagreed with that. "This—" The Empress was in a dilemma; she could see that Yvette was exhausted. It did not look as if she could hold on for much longer. However, she could not accept Darryl's close distance from her if he were to take her with him as he swam toward the island. Was there a way out of that problem? The Empress glanced at Darryl arrogantly. "Release my acupoints; I can swim on my own." When the four Scope brothers rescued her from the palace, they had sealed her acupoints. They were from the Ice Fire Island, and they had a unique me
However, now, the Empress had not only given him and Yvette her blessing, but she had also allowed Darryl to support her as they swam toward the island. The two of them clung to each other during the swim. What a shame! The Empress was finally calm. Then, she continued to act cold and aloof toward Darryl. She was also quick with her commands. "Darryl! Can you not move your hands?" "Your Majesty, I need to move my hands to swim and paddle; how can I not move them? Would you stop moving around?" "You! After we get to the island, you'll have to forget about this. Do you hear me?" "Why should I forget about anything? I didn't do anything to you!" "If I tell you to forget about it, then that's what you need to do!" "Very well..." As they bickered, Darryl took the Empress with him as they swam behind Yvette; they had gotten closer to the island. However, it did seem like it had taken a long time. Soon, the three of them finally arrived at the shore of that small island
It was not a big cave, but it was dry. It was an excellent place for them to rest. Darryl was pleased. 'This cave is not bad; I shall bring Yvette and the Empress here later.' Their boat was gone, so he could only find a place for them to rest as they thought about their next step! Darryl went into the cave to look around as he muttered to himself about the next plan. He was very satisfied with it. Roar! Suddenly, he heard an enchanted beast's roar from deep within the jungle. It was low, but it had terrifying shots of power. 'Damn it!' 'There is an enchanted beast here?' Darryl was shocked to hear the beast's loud roar. He was surprised, but he was not nervous at all. Even though Darryl did not know anything about the enchanted beast, he could feel its strength. He knew that the beast would be a Martial Sage, perhaps at level five. He was not worried about a level five Martial Sage's spirit! Darryl still had injuries all over his body, so he could do a little
The Empress frowned as she called out to her daughter. Yvette had not even had the chance to leave with Darryl. "I'll be alone if you go with him. Who will be here to take care of me? You should stay here with me!" The Empress glared at Darryl contemptuously when she said that. 'Just because I approved of your relationship, you think that you have my recognition? You're a b*stard who doesn't deserve my daughter!' "Mother!" Yvette stomped her feet angrily as she protested anxiously. "There is no one on this island, so there is no danger." The Empress did not say anything, but she did not look like she would compromise. Darryl smiled bitterly. "Yvette, why don't you stay with her? I can catch some fish on my own!" Darryl winked at Yvette to tell her not to be worried. Then, he walked out of the cave. When he arrived at the beach, Darryl used the Heavenly Halberd to catch some fish; he used the weapon to stab them. As he returned to the cave, he saw that Yvette had thou
"Mediocre. I wouldn't eat it if we have the imperial chef here," the Empress responded faintly with a straight face. "Such rustic cooking with ingredients from the wild—it is not good for presentation, but perhaps only suitable to fill one's stomach." She knew that Yvette wanted to fish compliments for Darryl. However, the harder Yvette tried, the more the Empress had resisted Darryl, especially when she thought about the Emperor's death. Ugh! Yvette felt dejected when she heard that. However, she also winked at Darryl to tell him that he should not take her mother's words to heart. Darryl did not mind it. He merely smiled and continued his meal with Yvette. After that, Yvette said softly, "We have been traveling all day, Darryl. Let's rest early." "Very well." Then, Darryl went out to find some hay, and Yvette laid them into three small beds. Darryl took the time to restore his internal energy. After that, Darryl was about to lie down on the hay to sleep. "Hey,
The Empress thought that Darryl had deliberately said that to anger her. "Alright! Alright!" Yvette dismissed it with a laugh. She felt crossed, so she walked up to Darryl and pushed him out of the cave. "Darryl, can't you be more serious? How can you make fun of my mother?" She lowered her voice so that the Empress could not hear her. Like the Empress, Yvette also thought that Darryl had pulled a joke. Darryl thought that Yvette looked indescribably charming when she was angry. He wanted to pull her into an embrace and kiss her, but he held it back. "Alright, alright, I'll say no more. I'm going to sleep!" Darryl responded with a smile. Darryl went to a meadow about a few kilometers away from the cave, and he sat cross-legged to meditate. Phew! Yvette breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of it, and she returned to the cave to rest. There was something indescribable about being on the deserted island at night. The sky was full of stars, and it was refreshing to h
"Yvette!" Darryl zoomed forward and hugged Yvette tightly. At the same time, his Heavenly Halberd pierced the body of the Sea Enchanted Beast! Puff! There was a dull sound when the Heavenly Halberd went through the beast's body! It swayed violently but did not lose its footing! Even though Darryl was injured, he was a Level Five Martial Emperor! If it were any other enchanted beast, Darryl would kill it in seconds! However, the Sea Enchanted Beast had notoriously strong defense! Even when its body was pierced, it did not die! Darryl put his arms around Yvette's waist and whispered, "Are you alright? You're not hurt, right?" "I'm okay," Yvette answered with a sweet smile; her beautiful face looked happy as she planted a kiss on Darryl's face. Then, she urged him anxiously. "Darryl, the enchanted beast is heading toward Mother's direction; go and help her quickly!" The Empress's acupoints had been sealed, and she had no internal energy. How could she possibly ward off the S
Boom! The Heavenly Halberd collided with the enchanted beast's sharp claws, and a dull vibration reverberated throughout the cave. After a painful howl, the Sea Enchanted Beast turned around and charged at the Empress. "Argh!" The Empress paled as she exclaimed! She was terrified and perplexed at why the enchanted beast targeted her resiliently. Darryl was equally puzzled. 'What's wrong?' 'I have wounded the Sea Enchanted Beast again and again, but why does it keep going to the Empress and refuse to fight me?' Then, Darryl looked at the Empress's phoenix robe, and he suddenly thought of something. The Empress's phoenix robe was made of silk with golden threads, and there were also embroidered jewels on it. The Sea Enchanted Beast must be attracted to glittering things, which was probably why it continued to target the Empress. "Your Majesty!" Darryl shouted at the Empress, "Quick, take off your phoenix robe! The beast is attracted to the jewelry on your phoenix
