Chapter 4434
"Brother-in-law, Master."
Just then, they heard Queenie's voice from the outside.
Darryl and Celine were startled.
The kid sure picked the right time to return.
Darryl was about to call out to Queenie to ask her to return slightly later, but it was too late.
"Master-"
Queenie strolled into the cave leisurely. She stopped short at the sight that greeted her.
Darryl stood at the side, shirtless, with an awkward expression. Her master, Celine, was wearing his clothes.
Her face also seemed a little flushed.
Queenie felt her head buzz as her own face flushed as well.
Had her brother-in-law and her master been doing it?
They sure moved pretty quickly.
"Queenie!"
Celine's expression was the picture of embarrassment. Before Queenie could ask anything, she scrambled to explain, "It's not what it looks like. I was about to enter a psychotic break, and the Heart Devil Flame scorched my clothes off. That's why your brother-in-law gave me his clothes."
Celine was pretty desperate.

Darryl did not know whether to cry or laugh.
There was no way he could talk out of that.
Celine was embarrassed. She looked close to tears as she glared at Darryl.
"This is all your fault!"
"How is this my fault?"
"If it had not been for you, I would not have entered that psychotic break."
"But I didn’t interrupt you when you were cultivating!"
"Whatever, it's still your fault."
After bickering for a short while, Celine calmed down. Then, she and Darryl made their way out of the cave.
"Brother-in-law, Master!"
Once they were outside, Queenie came up to them with a smile. She glanced at Celine before she looked at Darryl. "Where are we off to next?"
Darryl took a deep breath and looked around him. "If my memory serves me correctly, we should get through those mountains, walk for about ten kilometers, and we'll be at the Thunder Fire Gate. The keeper,
