Chapter 4729
At the words, Cloud Spirit scrambled to stand and retreat to the side.
Cloud Spirit's demeanor was like that of a tamed cat, but her chest burned with hatred
toward Darryl. She wanted nothing more than to skin him alive.
The old geezer took advantage of her, but he pretended to be the good guy after.
’Honorable Savior!"
The White Tiger King stood from his throne with a smile.
"I've asked my men to prepare a feast. Please join us for a meal and some drinks to repay
what you've done for my son. I am deeply in your debt."
Darryl must have his reasons for pretending to be an Immortal. He'd have to ask him later
about it.
’Alright!"
Darryl nodded as he stood up to go to the courtyard behind the palace with the White
Tiger King.
Cloud Spirit scrambled to follow suit.
They had barely gotten a few steps before Darryl stopped to turn to address her.
'We're going to have some fun, the White Tiger King and I. There's no need for you to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcome along. You can just stay here."
He had important affairs to discuss with the White Tiger King. How could he let her
overhear the,?
Cloud Spirit's face flushed red with displeasure, but she managed to grit out a response.
'Yes, Master." 'Haha! Cloud Spirit Fairy, what had all that arrogance and ego been for?’
At the sight of her indignant expression, Darryl's chest flooded with satisfaction as he
turned to leave with the White Tiger King.
Behind the palace was the courtyard where the White Tiger King rested. The rooms were
all made of stone, making it a breathtaking sight. Despite not being as luxurious as
Empress Heidi's quarters, they radiated their own beauty. 2
Once they had entered the great hall, the White Tiger King barked out a few orders. Within
a matter of minutes, a feast was laid out before them.
The White Tiger King turned to address his subordinates. "Alright, you're all dismissed."
’Alright."
At the order, the surrounding men turned to leave one by one.
All at once, it was only the White Tiger King and Darryl in the great hall.
'Honorable Master Darby!’
The White Tiger King could not hide his excitement as he scrambled to ask, "What's the
deal with you looking like this?"
Darryl flashed a bitter smile before saying, "Long story. I'm currently Barely Immortal-
Prince Aurin's appointed master to pass on skills and powers to him in assistance to his
competition to take the throne in a hundred days after the late emperor's death."
That was the case! Realization dawned over the White Tiger King.
"It’s no wonder Prince Aurin came all this way with your letter previously."
The White Tiger King continued with a confused expression.
"I don't quite understand, Honorable Master Darby. The Godly Region hasn't treated you
very well, especially how they tortured you after you helped them take down the Fiend
race. I heard that Empress Heidi even put out a witch hunt after you to have you alive or
dead! Why are you still helping Prince Aurin?"
Whew!
Darryl took a deep breath and began speaking in a serious tone. "Empress Heidi's a whole
different affair from Prince Aurin. They shouldn’t be lumped together. Indeed, the Godly
Region's actions have disappointed me greatly, but some things must be done." 'The Nine
Heavens Emperor is no longer around, and the Godly Region is in dire need of a ruler.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, if the new emperor is cruel and greedy, it'll only bring tragedy to the Godly
Region, so I have to help Prince Aurin be king.
"Prince Aurin is a noble man with a heart of gold, with talent and skill to match. Only if he
becomes emperor will the people live in peace."
The White Tiger King stopped short upon hearing his response. "Honorable Master Darby!"
A few seconds later, the White Tiger King returned to his senses. He could not hide his awe
as he added, "I can only dream of being half as noble of a man as you are. Let me make a
toast to you."
As he spoke, he drained the contents of his glass in one go.
Darryl lifted his glass and bowed his head to drink.
In no time at all, they had drunk a good few glasses.
Just then, a thought seemed to come to the White Tiger King. He could not hide his
curiosity as he asked, "I must know, Honorable Master Darby. That girl you were with
seemed a little familiar. Could she be one of the Imperial Sky Palace fairies?"
There had been many other people around in the palace earlier, so the White Tiger King
had not asked then.
Darryl smiled and nodded. "Yes, that's Cloud Spirit. She's Empress Heidi's personal servant
and favorite right-hand man. You could say she has quite a bit of power and status."
Following that, Darryl began to tell the White Tiger King why he had come to the Black
Swamp.
