Darryl frowned and looked over to investigate it. A slim and elegant figure strolled into his tent. She was Jackie Yale, the woman he had a few conflicts with at the Yellow Sea Continent.
“It’s you!” Darryl grinned widely at the sight of Jackie. “You’re here to visit me? How touching!”
Jackie Yale was the Illusion Sound Sect’s Sect Master and the Sun Set Sect’s Elder Master; she was someone with supreme status and extreme pride. Darryl had managed to offend her a couple of times, and he even managed to place her in a situation where she had to say that he was her husband while they were in the Famed Sword Manor’s Sword Casting Pool.
Darryl thought that someone as arrogant as Jackie would harbor a deep hatred toward him for that. He did not imagine that she would move from the past and go to the Chaotic Mountain Range as one of the defenders against the Raksasa Tribe, let alone to visit him at his tent.
“Get over yourself! I am not here to visit you. I’m here to see if you’re dead!” Jackie’s face turned crimson as she denied it.
Jackie did not give him any time to react; she reached out swiftly to seal Darryl’s acupoint! The man could not even dodge it as he did not have his internal energy; he was immediately frozen in place. He widened his eyes in surprise. “You—”
“You b*stard! You never thought you’d be at my mercy, did you?” Jackie said coolly, “Don’t you dare think that I have forgotten what you did to me.”
Indeed, Jackie did not go there to visit him, but she wanted to teach Darryl a lesson. Darryl had tricked her repeatedly when they were in the Yellow Sea Continent, and she had not moved past the humiliation. At that time,
she could not take her revenge because Darryl had been too strong for her. However, he was like a mere mortal because he had failed in his latest cultivation. That was her chance to do something about it.
Jackie snuck her way in as soon as it turned dark but could not take action until Yvette and the others left the tent. Once they were gone, she could not wait to barge into it.
Darryl could sense Jackie’s rage; he explained helplessly, “Jackie, you have to understand that I did not plot for what happened in the Famed Sword Manor’s Sword Casting Pool. We didn’t have another way to get out of the situation. You’re not still holding a grudge against having to call me your husband, are you?”
“How dare you even mention that again?!” Jackie stomped her feet in frustration; her face got redder as she thought back to what had happened. She decided not to waste any more time with him. She knocked him unconscious before she took him away from the camp. Then, they reached a cave a few kilometers away from the Chaotic Mountain Range.
Darryl finally regained consciousness after many hours. The moment he opened his eyes, he cursed when he found himself bound from head to toe. When he moved to look around, he was stunned when he saw the location.
He was in a cave, and the air was humid with the sound of flowing water that echoed further in the depths of the cave. After a few looks, Darryl focused his attention on the woman in front of him.
Jackie sat on a gigantic rock with a bonfire lit in front of her. The dancing flame added a hint of mystery to her beauty. When she sensed Darryl’s eyes on her, Jackie smiled and got up from the rock before she approached Darryl slowly. Her slim waist and seductive curves were clearly a bit overwhelming for Darryl; he could not help but swallow his saliva longingly.
“Jackie, what are you trying to do?” Darryl could barely hold his laughter. “Are you secretly in love with me, and now you’re trying to elope with me?”
Jackie raised her hand and slapped Darryl across the face with the speed of lightning. “I would not expect any decent word to come out of that vile mouth of yours, so keep your mouth shut, or I’ll have your tongue!”
