The Kaleidoscope Mask on Darryl's face abruptly fell to the ground at that point. The mask must have come off his face when he removed the blistering heat from Jadie's body. Darryl did not see it falling until the mask completely fell off.'Oh, sh*t!' Darryl's brain froze when he saw the mask on the ground. 'Damn it. My cover is exposed!'"You—" Jadie heard the sound and looked in that direction. That was when she saw Darryl's true appearance. Her body shook as she exclaimed in surprise, "You… you are Darryl?"Jadie rarely left Jade Fairyland, so she was unlikely to know Darryl. However, Prince Auri had invited Darryl to Jade Fairyland once he got him as his master. Jadie had seen the man from afar at that time. She remembered Darryl because of his special identities, such as the Nine Heaven Sage and Prince Aurin's master. That was how she recognized him right away.As soon as Jadie recognized Darryl, he started to panic. 'I'm finished. I'm totally finished this time.'However, he
"Who is it?""Who's there?"Princess Sheila was about to enter Darryl's room when she ran into the patrol guards. Since it was already dark, the guards could not see the person in front of them properly and quickly shouted at her.Princess Sheila got angry and screamed back, her hands on her waist. "Are you blind? Can't you see that it's me?"Once the guards heard Princess Sheila's voice, they were shocked. They quickly bow to pay their respect while swallowing their saliva."Oh, it's you, Princess. I'm sorry.""I beg for your forgiveness. Please forgive us for being blind."Princess Sheila was in a hurry to prank Darryl, so she could not be bothered by the guards as they quickly apologized to her. "Fine, scram!""Yes, yes!"The guards quickly responded and turned around to leave. Just then, an idea popped into Princess Sheila's mind. Her exquisite face hinted at a slight sneakiness. She shouted, "Stop! Stand there. Come over here. I have some work for you."'Work?' The guard
Darryl was almost at the door when Princess Sheila began mumbling to herself. He sensed something was wrong with the surroundings for no apparent reason. 'What's going on? Why do I have the feeling that someone is watching me?' He laughed as he shook his hand. 'Maybe I am a little too sensitive after exposing my identity to Jadie.'Darryl was about to enter the door with that thought in mind when he slipped into the trap. He did not have time to react before falling into the hole.'Oh, sh*t!' He was furious. 'Who the hell dug such a deep hole in front of my door? That person must be too bold!'As he dropped to the bottom of the hole, he steadied his body and stepped onto the ground, ready to fly out of the hole.A peal of laughter erupted from the top of the hole at that exact moment. A sneaky face looked down into the pit. "Old man! Let this be a lesson for you for abandoning me while I was frozen. Now you know what I am capable of."It was Princess Sheila.'F*ck! It's her!' Dar
Empress?At the words, the guards exchanged glances with each other, unreadable expressions on their faces.There had been an order in the palace to take down anyone who called herself the Empress. It had also been highlighted that the woman in question was one of the Carters in disguise.With that context, the head of the guards cast a glance towards Ambrose as he asked loudly, "Who are you?""Ambrose Darby!" Ambrose said calmly in response.All at once, the head guard's expression shifted as he flared up in shock and anger. "So it's Darryl Darby's son! I've got it right, then. Come on, take these two shameless imbeciles down immediately!"As the words rang through the air, the surrounding guards drew their long swords, rushing in Shannon and Ambrose's direction.Motherf*cker…Under the circumstances, Ambrose frowned.At the same time, Shannon could hardly contain her anger as she cried out, "How dare you fight the Empress. What is this, an uprising?""Uprising?!"The head
What a group of idiots.At the words, Ambrose frowned as he said impatiently, "You've all been fooled by Zack, you idiots! Open your eyes and see for yourselves— this is your Empress standing behind me! She didn't die! Zack made up that lie to steal the throne!"Lie?"At the words, everyone including the captain and the surrounding guards stopped short before casting glances at Shannon.Well… appearance and aura-wise, she did look like the Empress.Could Ambrose Darby be telling the truth? Had Zack lied to everyone?All at once, everyone stopped fighting and fell into thought."Enough with the lies, Ambrose."Yet just then, an enraged cry sounded from the palace as thousands of royal guards swarmed forwards, led by a singular figure.He was clad in golden robes, radiating an aura of royalty. It was Zack.Zack had been watching a performance in the palace when he had heard about the news of Shannon and Ambrose showing up. Without hesitation, he had rushed over with his men.J
Clang clang…Ambrose wove through the crowd, radiating an air of battle as rays of golden light shone from his Tyrant Hammer. The terrifying energy was overwhelming, and it was barely a minute before a hundred people collapsed in pools of their own blood.Just then, the people in the town had all heard about the news, and rushed forwards to see what it was about,Hiss!At the sight of Ambrose fighting wildly in the throng of people, countless citizens could not help but gasp in shock."This young man's quite something, able to attack so many guards!""I heard he's Darryl Darby's son, the current watcher of the Elysium Gate. I'd never thought he'd be so magnificent in his aura….""You're right…"Amidst the cries, many women also fell victim to Ambrose's charms.Was this the current watcher of the Elysium Gate? How charismatic, with such capability to boot as well!Whew!At the sounds of the surrounding citizens, an unreadable expression passed across Shannon's face.Ambrose
"Zack!"Shannon could hardly contain her anger then, glowering at Zack. "How dare you commit such treason, lying to the people and trying to steal the throne. You'll pay for this.""Heh heh…" Zack's expression was completely smug. He stumbled forward a few steps, whispering by Shannon's ear. "None of that matters, Shannon Long. You're not the Empress anymore, and the entire royal city is under my control. Plus, no one's going to believe that you're the Empress anymore anyways. All they'll treat you as is nothing more than one of the Carters. It's fate if you ask me, ha ha…"As he laughed, Zack's expression grew cold. "Throw them into the dungeon, and hold a public execution in three days.""Yes!"At the order, the guards quickened their steps, escorting Shannon and Ambrose into the dungeon.A few minutes later, in the dungeon.Shannon and Ambrose sat with their heads hung in defeat in the cell, not speaking to each other at all.The tension was positively palpable."You…"Jus
Darryl had been in the cultivator's world for years, he naturally understood what Princess Sheila was thinking. However, he was anxious."Princess!"Darryl chuckled bitterly and said defeatedly, "Please calm down, I had no intention of lying to you.""No intention?" Princess Sheila was overwhelmed with emotions. "You knew I had been looking for you the past few days, yet you've been hiding the truth from me. Wasn't that evil enough?"Princess Sheila interrogated, "Why did you pretend to be an old man?"Well…Darryl contemplated for a brief moment before responding, "Princess, I have my reasons. Think about it, the Empress would be worried if I were to go to the Jadeite Fairyland looking like I do with all the fairies around. That's why I decided to dress as an old man."Darryl said seriously but he was feeling utterly anxious.'Fortunately, Princess Sheila had no idea that I'm Darryl. I need to calm her down, if word got out about tonight's incident, I'll be done for.' Darryl t
