Chapter 3431
Darryl was not happy at all, even though he had successfully tamed the Golden Lions and was promoted to a commander position. He had been there for three days and there was still no sign of the Holy Jade Scripture. He was starting to panic, which caused him to sneeze a few times. ‘sh*t, who’s talking about me behind my back?’
“Darren!” cried Angeline from outside as she barged into his room excitedly.
“Princess Angeline, you shouldn’t be here,” said Darryl with a worried smile.
“I’m the Queen’s sister. The whole palace is my home, who can stop me from going anywhere I want?” she said while cocking her head coquettishly.
Then she pulled on his arm and asked impatiently, “Darren, you were amazing! Can you teach me the beast language too?”
Darryl’s head began to hurt. He wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. Not only did he not find the Holy Jade Scripture, but he had to deal with his oddball Angeline too. He scratched his head and said seriously, “The beast language can’t be taught. It’s a talent one is born with. Do you understand?” 1
Between lying to her and telling her about the beast taming loop — Darryl chose the former.
Angeline was very confused and gave up in the end. “Fine, I don’t want to learn it anymore. This is too confusing for me. By the way, what other abilities do you have?”
“Oh, nothing that deserves to make a fuss over, ” said Darryl with a smile.
Then as if he suddenly remembered something, he took this opportunity to dig up more information about the Holy Jade Scripture. “However, it might interest you to know I’m researching ancient texts right now.”
That caught Princess Angeline’s attention, so Darryl continued, “ The ancient texts contained all the knowledge passed down by people from long ago. The knowledge inside them is really brilliant. Maybe you’ve heard of one of them? The Holy Jade Scripture?”
He said all this casually, but there was undisguised anticipation in his eyes. He might never find the Holy Jade Scripture by himself, so he hoped Angeline, being the Queen’s sister, might be able to assist him in his search.
“I think I ’vé seen her reading a book completely made of exquisite white jade this one time. It was very elegant, but there was only half of it...” said Angeline as she tried to recall that moment.
Darryl became excited and he subconsciously grabbed her hand. “ Really? Do you know where it is?”
Angeline was startled and glared at him. “what do you think you’re doing? Are you planning to take advantage of me?”
No one had ever grabbed her hand like that since she was the Queen’s sister.
