"Darryl!"
Queenie went up to Darryl. She bit her lips and asked in a conflicted tone, "Aren't you supposed to be back in the World Universe and reunite with my cousin? How did you become the South Cloud World's Prince Consort?"
Queenie sounded dissatisfied, but she was not angry. Instead, she was baffled.
Darryl scratched his head; he was very embarrassed. "Queenie, don't get me wrong, but it is a long story..."
The South Cloud World's Empress had misunderstood him back in Lu Bu's tomb, and she had named him Prince Consort. It was hard to explain the situation at that time.
Queenie bit her lips, and then she asked, "By the way, how are you and my cousin?"
After she rescued Darryl from the Heaven Union Sect, the situation was urgent, and she had no time to ask. Queenie suddenly thought of her cousin, and she wondered if the couple were fine. Queenie had traveled with her master over the years, and she cared and missed Darryl and Lily the most.
When Queenie asked the question, Celine stood aside and looked at Darryl quietly. She was gentle and silent.
'Sh*t!'
'My seven-year appointment with Lilybud…'
Darryl's heart trembled, and his mind buzzed when she mentioned Lily.
Darryl remembered their seven-year appointment all along, but he had received news about Monica, so he went to save her. Then, he went to visit his master and subsequently caused havoc in the New World Royal City.
A series of emergencies had caused Darryl to miss that seven-year appointment. He knew that he had to do something, but he could not recall what it was. His mind had gone blank when he finally thought of the seven-year appointment.
'F*ck, why did I forget about the seven-year appointment? It's been more than a month since the agreed time has passed. Would Lilybud think I've given up on us?'
Darryl was agitated when he thought about that.
Queenie noticed that Darryl's expression was not quite right, so she quickly asked, "Darryl, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with Lily?"
'What should I say?'
It was more than an accident; there were too many misfortunes! First, Lily had lost her memory, and then her face was disfigured.
Darryl smiled bitterly as he looked at Queenie. "Queenie, Lily has suffered too much because of me. It was all my fault..." In the next few minutes, Darryl briefly explained the situation to Queenie.
What?
Celine could read people well. Even though she had just met Darryl, she admired his intelligence and wittiness in capturing the snow wolves alive with the formation technique.
Celine had seen many talented people over the years, and Darryl was perhaps the most special one!
Darryl was smart. However, he had failed so miserably in his love life.
"Queenie, don't worry."
Darryl could feel Queenie's anxiety; he laughed and comforted her. "Don't worry. As soon as I return to the World Universe continent, I will look for Lilybud immediately. I will never abandon her again for the rest of my life."
Queenie smiled and clapped her hands after she heard his promise. "Well, Master and I haven't got anything important to do anyway; why don't we head back with you? What do you think, Master?"
Queenie tilted her head to look at Celine.
Celine did not reply. Instead, she raised her tender hand and sealed Darryl's acupoint as fast as lightning.
Slap!
Celine made a swift move without any warning. Darryl had no time to react, and he was instantly immobilized.
