The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 2330

The moment he saw the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, Darryl was so frustrated that his body trembled. However, he pretended to be calm. He smiled and said, “Jackie, that is not the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda; it’s just an accessory I wear. The real Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is in the camp. Take me back, and I’ll give it to you.”

 

Darryl felt too anxious. Ever since he lost his internal energy, he could no longer synchronize with the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. It meant that Darryl could not use the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, so he could not unleash those ancient warriors. However, it was still a world-class treasure he had been keeping with care; he could not let Jackie have it.

 

“Did you honestly think that you could fool me? Or that I can’t tell if that is the real thing or not? Will you tell me the truth or not?” Jackie could barely keep her anger at bay as she glared at Darryl. It felt as if the temperature around them had dropped with the tension.

 

Darryl took a deep breath and looked at Jackie with a grin. “Oh, my bad! Maybe I remembered it wrongly. It is the real Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, but I just can’t recall the spell to unlock it. Why don’t you release me? That ought to jog my memory.”

 

Jackie’s expression darkened. She took a bucket of water and splashed it into Darryl. The water was probably taken from the cave; it was freezing cold. Darryl shivered uncontrollably as he cursed discreetly. He was still defenseless; his acupoints were still sealed.

 

“Joke all you want. You don’t want to spill the secret of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda? Fine, I will have it anyway.” Jackie pulled a blood-crimson whip. It was flexible and durable, made with the skin of a blood python that she killed years ago. No one could toy with her!

Darryl’s smile sank when he saw the whip. “Jackie, that’s enough. All I did was force you into calling me your husband. Perhaps I’ll call you my wife, and we’ll be even!”

“Shut up!” Jackie’s face was red with anger. She was frustrated because Darryl had insulted her again. She held the whip in her hand and said, “Still an imbecile even in the face of your own demise! You messed up my plans, humiliated me over and over again. I will never let you off even if hell freezes over!” Jackie had lost her patience; she struck mercilessly.

One hit was all it took for Darryl’s shoulders to crack open like nuts in a nutcracker. Blood immediately oozed from the wound. Seriously?! Without his internal energy to protect him, pain shot up the entire upper half of his body. It caused him to twitch in agony. Darryl tried his best to bite through the scream.
