Due to its seaside location, the weather at Donghai City was rather unusual. Hot in the day and cold at night.There was a place where a crowd would always gather regardless of the weather.Pearl Pavilion.That was right. There were stalls at the walkway with all of them selling antiques. There were many antique enthusiasts gathered there too, hoping to pick up some left-over pieces that might be worth a fortune.A few antique sellers were in heated negotiations with their customers.The sound of the car engine appeared as Darryl’s car stopped. He took a glance at the surrounding sellers and made sure there was nothing worth buying before heading upstairs. Yvonne had long been waiting for his arrival at the Pearl Pavilion’s upper level.Yvonne walked towards him in stilettos with a smile upon seeing Darryl’s arrival. “Why are you suddenly interested in books about army weapons?Yvonne was curious. In the antique industry, army weapons were not popular among them. What was Darry
After a few hours, Darryl wiped off his sweat and kept the tens of antidotes he had produced.“Brother Darryl, you’re our lifesaver.” Skyler felt really grateful as he held on to those antidotes with tears in his eyes.He brought out a jade pendant, “Brother Darryl, this belongs to the Master of the Grandmaster Heaven Cult. It represents the Master’s identity. I left in a hurry the other day and didn’t manage to pass it to you. Please keep this properly. In the event there are misunderstandings with anyone from the Grandmaster Heaven Cult, please show them the pendant and they’ll know you’re a cult member.”Darryl nodded, kept the jade pendant with him before giving Skyler a pat on his shoulder, and said, “Quickly, go and save your gang.”Skyler nodded and immediately left.Once he left, Darryl went on to research the Infinite Elixir Manual. Now that he had the Bicolor Flowers, he wanted to know what other elixirs he could produce.In the evening, at Lyndon's residence.Lily and
It was just an outing. Why did he need to get new clothes?“Can’t I be excused from the outing?” Darryl asked.Kent would definitely be there since the outing was organized by the Hough family. Darryl did not want to meet him.Samantha stared at him. “Honestly, I wouldn’t have asked you along for such an upper-class social event, but Lily’s the President now and as her husband, you ought to be there.”Darryl nodded. “Fine, I’ll go get some new clothes.”Samantha coldly said, “That’s more like it. Get some money from Lily if you don’t have enough to get something good. Don’t always dress cheaply and embarrass Lily.”Darryl nodded again.Samantha finally left the room after nagging him a few more times.Once she left, Darryl quickly took out the ‘Ancient Army Weapon’ book again.The book cover was full of scratches and its words were barely visible.Not only that, there were some brown stains that looked like blood on the cover. From the looks of it, the book would have been th
“Shame on you, don’t you know people are calling you a live-in husband?” Lily blushed, but she quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”Darryl was not bothered by her words. “No worries, I don’t care what others say about me. You’re my wife, I only care about what you think of me.”Lily smiled and dragged Darryl on a shopping trip.She wanted to buy him a suit. However, for their past three years of marriage, Darryl had gotten used to wearing cheap non-branded clothes. He felt very uncomfortable. In the end, after many negotiations, Darryl bought two sets of branded leisure clothing.Darryl was about to make payment at the cashier after fitting when Lily stopped him.“I’ve never gotten you anything for the past three years of our marriage. Let me pay for you. Didn’t you just buy me plenty of clothes earlier?” Lily smiled.Darryl felt very warm by Lily’s words. He did not reject further and allowed Lily to pay for the bill.The next morning, the Hough family sent transp
“Why are you laughing?”Justin was upset. He pointed at Darryl and shouted.He knew that Darryl was a live-in son-in-law. How could a goddess such as Lily be married to such a useless man! Even though it might be a fake marriage, it was still unfair.Justin was jealous of Darryl and hence let it out on him. “If you dare to laugh again, I shall tear your mouth off. What’s so funny?”“It’s nothing, your name sounds great,” said Darryl.People surrounding him started to pronounce his name after listening to Darryl’s words. Justin Quinn, Just-In-Queen?That really sounded funny.Justin could not hold his anger anymore upon seeing people surrounding him start laughing. He was about to charge towards Darryl, but Lily stopped him. She said softly, “Mr. White, we’re here for fun and games. You don’t have to be angry.”“Fine then, the dear goddess is right.” Justin immediately held his temper, reached out his hand to Lily, and hoped to shake her hands. “My dear goddess, it’s my honor to
Megan glared at him, “I just don’t want my mood spoilt. If you continue to behave like this, please leave me alone and go on the outing on your own.”“Alright, fine. I’ll listen to you,” replied Kent immediately with a smile.Despite him saying that his face was full of anger when he looked towards Darryl.‘How dare a live-in son-in-law join our outing? I’ll make you embarrass yourself!’ Kent thought.“Hello everyone, thank you for your patience.” Edward Hough stepped forward and spoke into the microphone.Edward was Kent’s father, the leader of the Hough family, and also the outing’s organizer.He walked toward the crowd, looked around, cleared his throat, and said, “Everyone here is the younger generation of your family. I believe all of you know about our outing’s rules, so I’ll not repeat them again. Just one thing I’d like to remind everyone, please take care of your own safety. Again, please take care of your own safety!”Edward added, “We are now at Dragon Raising Lake. I
One billion bucks, how could William decide?Lily was the leader of the Lyndon family. Although the swimming competition was for entertainment, a billion bucks bet was no joke. If the Lyndon family was to lose one billion bucks, their family would be destroyed.William smiled but did not speak a word.Kent laughed. “So, the Lyndon family isn’t up to the bet?” “It’s just a game, but the Lyndon family is scared? I thought only Darryl—the live-in son-in-law—is a coward. I didn’t know the whole Lyndon family’s the same. Even William is a coward. Haha!”William was annoyed upon hearing that. “Why wouldn’t the Lyndon family take part?”How could Kent look down on him? He was the Lyndon family’s eldest grandson! William felt angry, but Lily was the family leader. He turned to Lily and pleaded, “Lily, we should join and show our support since Kent extended his invitation. What do you think?”Truth be told, everyone in the Lyndon family was jealous of Lily. How could a lady become their f
Ever since he left his family, Darryl had been staying in the village for a while and learned swimming on his own, hence his strokes looked rather awkward.“Haha, look at Lyndon's son-in-law. Is he swimming using doggy style?”“Oh, doggy style. That’s ridiculous!”Some of the girls started giggling.Lily angrily bit her lips from hearing laughter from the shores. When she turned to look at Darryl’s swimming style, she felt it was hilarious too.It was obvious Darryl had never received any professional swimming training before, but he was so confident just now. Although he was not slow, his speed would definitely not be able to win the race. Other than the first-place winner, everyone would lose the bet.Could she still believe in him? It was one billion bucks!If they were to lose, the Lyndon family would need to fork out one billion bucks. What would happen then? Perhaps she would lose her position as the family leader too.Thinking along those lines, Lily became worried. She
