Chapter 2556 A day later.
At the Yach Manor in Yellow Dragon City, Mistloren.
Darryl laid on the bed in a room, and he had quite a few nightmares.
He dreamt that Jewel had suffered a horrifying death, and those from the Carter family were all murdered by Zhang Jue.
Fuh!
Darryl was startled awake by the nightmares; he noticed that he wasin a room when he opened his eyes. He was covered in a cold sweat as ripples of pain spread from the wound in his heart vein.
'Where am I?'
He looked around and noticed that the room had a lavish design with an old furniture layout. The room looked old-fashioned with its luxurious rosewood furniture.
Creak!
Darryl was astonished when someone pushed the door open, and a few people entered the room swiftly.
They were Zhu Zhu Bajie, Cheyenne, her brother, and her cousin sisters.
Cheyenne's cousins were all beautiful women; they were in simple dresses, but they looked charming. They looked more classy than some famous artists.
Zhu Bajie was the first to approach Darryl with laughter. ''Brother, you're finally awake!''
Zhu Bajie turned to Cheyenne and said, ''My wonderful apprentice, get the housekeeper to prepare some medication. This is your master's sworn brother. You should address him as your uncle, understood?''
'Apprentice?'
Darryl was dumbfounded to hear that. 'D*mn, when did Zhu Bajie start taking in apprentices?'
Even Cheyenne jerked with surprise before a hint of conflict emerged on her delicate face. ''Master, why should I? He's a pervert.''
She felt embarrassed and offended when she remembered that Darryl had hugged her. Cheyenne's brother and cousins stared at Darryl with curiosity.
''Of course, he's my sworn brother.'' Zhu Bajie insisted with his brows furrowed, his tone dignified without any room for questions.
Cheyenne bit her lips and greeted him. ''Nice to meet you, Uncle.''
Her cheeks flushed red the moment she shouted those words. She was very conflicted about addressing Darryl that way, but she dared not defy her Master's order.
Darryl nodded in acknowledgment as he stared at Cheyenne from top to toe in a trance. 'Did I mistook that girl as Jewel?'
Darryl had been delirious the day before, but he remembered hugging a girl before he fainted, and he figured that it was Cheyenne.
He could not deny that her features were pretty similar to Jewel. He could have mistaken her as Jewel when he saw her in his feverish state.
He felt a pinch in his chest and burned with anxiety the moment he thought about Jewel.
''Brother Zhu.'' Darryl struggled to get out of the bed as he said, ''Hurry, we should go rescue them.''
He wondered what had happened to Jewel and those from the Carter family; he had been unconscious for a few days.
Zhu Bajie stopped him before he could leave the bed.
