Interesting!Sensing that Tony and the rest were not exploding at full force, Darryl smiled as he further confirmed that those people were committing an act.'Since you're trying to play a game, I'll play along.'"Perfect timing!"Darryl called out loudly at the thought as he raised a palm, sending it toward an oncoming Tony.Thump!The blow appeared light and airy, but it held an immense amount of energy as it constricted the air it passed by.Upon knowing that the other party was only faking it, Darryl planned to play along. He did not use all his force in the blow, but as it did contain magical powers, it was still pretty strong.Thump!Tony could not dodge in time, and the blow landed heavily on him. He was sent flying over ten meters, landing heavily on the floor with a dull hum."Ugh…"Upon landing, fresh blood sprayed from Tony's mouth as he stared at Darryl in shock.It was no wonder the sects' combined forces weren't enough to hold him down. Darryl Darby really was
As he spoke, Darryl turned around to untie Rachelle.Truthfully, Darryl knew that she was still tied up. He was just pretending to have forgotten.Upon untying her, Rachelle rubbed her reddening wrists as she bowed to Darryl swiftly."Thank you, kind sir, for rescuing me."Rachelle was truly one of the most beautiful women in the True Flame Sect. A smile from her was like a spring breeze.Darryl pretended to not have seen her, nodding his head. "Alright. You're welcome, young lady. Those rascals have run away, so you should go home. I've got my own things to sort out. I'll see you another time."As he spoke, Darryl turned to walk away. As he turned, Darryl held in a smile as his eyes glinted slyly.Haha…The woman thought he would chase her and look for other things to talk about just because he found her beautiful, so he was going to do the exact opposite. He wanted to see how the show would play out.Darryl had wandered the world for a long time, and he could tell that even
As Darryl spoke, Rachelle burst into tears as she launched into her tale of woe."There's something you don't know, sir. My… my life is so tragic… I don't live here, but in Emerald Cloud Lake, more than a hundred li northwest of here. I came from a town of fishermen who made a living from the lake until a month ago when tragedy struck."A contagious plague wiped out my entire family and village. I was lucky enough to get out alive and find a way to make a living out here on my own, but I never thought that those bastards from the Four Seas Alliance would have targeted me…"If it hadn't been for you suddenly appearing, I don't know what would've happened to me…Rachelle bawled her head off while sneaking glances at Darryl every once in a while.Of course, she had made the story up well before just to gain Darryl's sympathy.She was quite the cheat.Darryl stared Rachelle down, taking in her every move clearly as he smirked to himself, all while plastering on a falsely sympathetic
Darryl smiled lightly, pointing at the stream in front of the cave and saying lazily, "Perfect. I'm starving from the journey earlier. There should be some fish in the stream. Can you catch us a few? I'll start a fire. We'll grill the fish once you catch it."Darryl's expression was solemn as he spoke, but his eyes glinted playfully.Rachelle said that she came from a family of fishermen, which Darryl did not believe at all. He took the opportunity to test her and see how she would react.'What? Have me catch fish?'Rachelle's body quivered at the words as her exquisite features shone with an unreadable expression. She was the holy nun of the True Flame Sect. When did she ever have to take orders like that?She had servants at her beck and call at the True Flame Sect. How would she know how to catch fish?However, she had said that she came from a family of fishermen, and it would not do her good if she went back and changed that.All at once, Rachelle's chest plummeted helpless
The second her feet touched the water, Rachelle stared at the water with a look of fierce concentration as her chest protested helplessly.She had lived a life of luxury as the holy nun of the True Flame Sect. It meant that she had tasted her fair share of delicious fish, but she knew nothing about catching it.What made things harder was that there was no way she could use her powers to do it, so she could only go with traditional fishing methods.Rachelle grew increasingly helpless as she pondered, but she had no choice as she could not reveal her identity. All she could do was grit her teeth as she paced around in the stream, trying her best to catch the fish.Unfortunately, she did not know how to do it at all, and she missed a fish right before her eyes again and again. Her long dress slowly became drenched from all the missed splashes.Just then, the moon shone a dim glow onto the ground.Under the moonlight, Rachelle's soaked dress clung to her body, highlighting her breat
Darryl asked some questions about Rachelle's background.Rachelle came prepared. She answered every question easily, and breaking her was hard.Darryl had no good reason to keep questioning her.After finishing the meal, Rachelle sat beside the campfire and dried her clothes. She then walked toward Darryl and said softly, "Sir, you must be tired. Let me massage your legs."Rachelle was gentle and caring, but her eyes showed traces of frost.Rachelle planned on casting the Charm Person Spell on him. She was confident in her beauty and believed that no man would be able to resist her.However, she had to be close to Darryl to cast the Charm Person Spell, so she suggested massaging his legs.Darryl paused, looked at Rachelle's beautiful face, and thought, 'Is she trying to lure me? Has she finally decided to attack?'Darryl stretched his back and nodded, extending his right leg to her. "Sure."Rachelle smiled faintly and squatted before him as she started kneading his leg. Her ex
Alfredo squinted his eyes and scanned Darryl from head to toe."Nothing valuable? Fella, who the hell are you trying to fool? The robe you're wearing right now isn't something any man could afford. If I'm not mistaken, you must be some young master from a wealthy family, right?"Alfredo robbed frequently and had some knowledge of those things. The robe Darryl wore was not something that a normal plebeian could afford.Sharp eyes.Darryl was stunned upon being exposed and chuckled, "My good man, if you're so keen on the robe I'm wearing, I'm more than happy to give it to you."Darryl spoke as he prepared to take off his robe.Alfredo was angered upon seeing that and spat, "What do you think you're doing? Stop it! Who the f*ck cares about that tattered robe of yours? What I want is money."Darryl shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "I don't have money with me. The only valuable object I have with me is my robe. Take it or leave it.""You…"Alfredo was infuriated. It was his first
'Ha! What an idiot.'Rachelle, who stood behind Darryl, chuckled coldly upon seeing that scene.'What a bunch of savages. How dare they behave arrogantly before the head of the Elixir Sector of the Pure Yang Division? Were they trying to get themselves killed?'Rachelle knew Darryl's abilities and that he could easily defeat Alfredo and the mountain bandits if he wanted to. She may have seemed anxious externally, but she felt the complete opposite.Phew!Darryl noticed the changes in Rachelle's expression and chuckled to himself.'Does that woman think I'm going to attack? I'll do the opposite then.'Darryl thought to himself and pretended to panic."How reasonable of you to attack without any heads up!" He then turned around and fled the scene.He grabbed Rachelle's hand and said to her, "Run quickly. They have the upper hand in numbers, so I may be unable to defeat them."What?Rachelle was stunned upon hearing that and uttered, "Didn't you defeat the Quad Ocean Sect by
