While he drank the water, he felt his leg touch something hard. He thought it was rock, so he bent down to pick it up.Whoosh!The rock surfaced with sounds of water gushing.He was surprised. Turns out it was a small, bronze rectangular cauldron! It was covered with moss from being submerged underwater, but he could still see the exquisite patterns on it.It looked like it was from the Warring States period.What piqued Darryl’s curiosity further was that there was a bronze box in the cauldron. A bronze box, in a cauldron, buried deep underwater in a well? It was fascinating! Darryl did not think twice when he opened the box. He was shocked to find that the box was sealed tightly. No water entered it, and there was a book of bamboo slips inside.What could it be? Darryl flipped the book open. ‘Bai Qi Formations’ was written on the first page.Bai Qi Formation? Darryl’s mind began to buzz with excitement. It was said that the ancient, legendary General Bai Qi was highly skil
Thud!Once he escaped the forest, he fell and sat on the ground. He had not eaten in almost a week, surviving only on water—he was hungry and exhausted.Nevertheless, he was elated. At least he survived! “Young Master?”“...Young Master appeared!” One of the servants exclaimed. They were extremely shocked as if they saw a ghost.“Quick, let Master know!” one of them screamed.Darryl felt weak. He gritted his teeth, fished his phone out, and made a call to Dax.He could not reach Dax, so he called Nancy—it was the same; they turned off both their phones.‘F*ck you, Rachel Carter. If anything were to happen to Dax, I will never forgive you!’ Darryl swore.He grunted. He could only get someone else in Donghai City to check up on Dax. At that, he called Zephyr Dixon. He picked up the call within three seconds.“Master!” Zephyr greeted excitedly. “Where have you been? We’ve been trying to contact you, Master! We have good news. The Elysium Gate sect has close to three thousand fo
The fact that his godson came out alive was a miracle.Darryl smiled. “Auntie Susan, I don’t know how I came out. I got lost in it, but I just randomly walked about, then I found the entrance. I guess it was just pure luck,” he said nonchalantly.He was not going to tell how he mastered the Bai Qi Formations.Just as he said that, the crowd started discussing excitedly—Darryl was fortunate, he could manage to exit the peach blossom forest just by randomly walking.Susan laughed, “That’s amazing. You have to know, we were worried about you for many days! You must be exhausted. Go get some rest!” She looked at him with concern. In fact, she was trying to distract Darryl, not giving her husband a chance to ask Darryl anything.However, Zoran still questioned him. “Darryl, there was a huge sign at the forest entrance stating that it was forbidden to enter. How did you get in?”‘Damn it!’ Susan trembled. Her worst fear came true.At the same time, Darryl’s phone rang. He put down his
Susan walked toward his bed and sat on it. She looked at Darryl and asked, “Darryl, you seemed weak when you first came out of the forest. How are you feeling now?”Darryl was stunned. If Susan came all the way to his room to ask how he felt, why did she lock the door? “I feel much better after a great meal,” he chuckled.Susan nodded and smiled. “That’s a relief.”They looked at each other for some time, sitting together in silence. Darryl could take it no longer. He laughed awkwardly and asked, “Auntie Susan, is there anything I could help you with?”Susan bit her lip. She came here for Rachel. If Darryl had spread the news about how Rachel tricked him into entering the forest, she would definitely be beaten to death by her father. She had to stop him no matter what.She gritted her teeth and poured Darryl a cup of tea. She walked towards him and offered him the cup. “Darryl, here. Have some tea.”What? Darryl was slightly caught off guard. He looked at her in confusion and
Whip!This whip was heavier than the previous one. Jean felt that it was not enough; she became berserk.Whip! Whip! Whip! The sound echoed throughout the backyard of the Darby Mansion. Dax could not take it any longer. “F*ck all of you!” he screamed. “You watch out, I’ll make sure to kill you when I get out!” “You dare talk back?” Jean frowned. She said coldly, “Fine, you can take it, right? Then I’ll whip your wife and grandfather!”Nancy let out a bloodcurdling shriek as Jean whipped her shoulder. Dax completely lost it—he was wild and furious. He tried to loosen himself, but it was impossible. He was bound to the stake tightly.Jean smiled malevolently. “Dax, say, if I whip your grandfather, would you feel bad for him?” At that, she raised her hand, aiming at Saul. “No!” Dax yelled hysterically, his voice was hoarse. He looked at the whip coming down in slow motion, yet he could do nothing to help.“Stop!” A voice interrupted, and a dagger flew past her. The blade sla
Jean approached Zephyr and spat, “Dax is a criminal who has connections with the Eternal Life Palace. Who are you to decide whether he stays or go?”“I’ll say it once more, the Elysium Gate is here to take Dax Sanders,” Zephyr smiled.A Tri-pointed Double-edged sword appeared. He released his Internal Energy, and it exploded throughout the room. After consuming the Godly Pill, Zephyr was now a Level One Martial Marquis.The Elysium Gate men pulled out their long sabers.“You…” Jean took a step back in fear.Zephyr leaped toward Dax and slashed the ropes that bound him. It all happened so quickly that the Emei followers barely had time to react.Jean was afraid and furious as she yelled, “What are you doing! You have no respect for the Emei sect!” The Emei followers shouted at them too, but no one dared to attack. After all, they were heavily outnumbered.Zephyr glared and said, “The Elysium Gate acts indomitably!” He took Dax and his family away.“You!” Jean stomped her feet b
Darryl did not think twice, he opened his arms and quickly tried to grab Susan by hugging her slim waist. However, he was still weak so instead of preventing her from falling, he fell together with her on the bed.F*ck!This fall made Darryl felt like his bones were about to disintegrate. At that moment, Susan was on him too. An aromatic smell filled Darryl’s nose—the smell was from Susan.They looked at each other awkwardly.The more they panicked, the messier the situation got. Susan scrambled to get up, but part of her clothes was stuck under Darryl. She stood up, but was dragged down by part of her clothes still stuck beneath Darryl—she fell on him again.Suddenly the door swung upon. Sara’s voice could be heard.“Darryl! I have something fun I want to share with you!” Sara entered excitedly with a box of jigsaw puzzles in her hands.She was shocked when she saw the scene in front of her. She was so stunned she did not know what to say.Susan was extremely embarrassed, her
Darryl was touched, he lovingly replied, “I’m still at my godfather’s place. He’s been treating me well, don’t worry.” Lily relaxed slightly. She said hopefully, “Hubby, when are you coming back? I…miss you.” She blushed. She has never said such things before to Darryl.“Ok, I’ll go back home tomorrow morning,” Darryl agreed without any hesitation.It was time to head back to Donghai City. He has to check up on Dax as well. However, it was quite late, plus he was still weak—he has to wait until tomorrow.“Awesome! I’ll be at home waiting for you! Bye Hubby!” Lily said gently. She did not hang up immediately, after a while, she quietly kissed Darryl on the phone.“Muacks!” Then she hung up.Darryl smiled. He put his phone aside and slept peacefully.The next morning, it was barely dawn when Darryl woke up.He cleaned up and changed into fresh clothes. He was about to go bid his godfather farewell before leaving for Donghai City, when he heard a panicked voice, “ Quick, go get
