The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 4749

"But, no matter where I go, South Cloud World will always be home in my heart. It is a privilege for me to be the one who saves the Empress."

Diego proceeded to talk nonsense to try to relax her defenses.

Quincy sighed in relief as she realized he was telling the truth. She relaxed her guard.

It turned out that he was also from the South Cloud World. It seemed like that was fate. She would live to see another day.

Quincy's face softened somewhat as she considered that. She complimented him. "Someone had a grudge against me. Thankfully, I came across you. What is your name? You will undoubtedly be rewarded handsomely when I return to the Royal City."

"I don't expect a reward." Diego smiled and said modestly, "My name is Eastin. Saving the Empress was already a reward."

Diego took a pill from his pocket and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, when I tried to save you, I learned that you had consumed a lot of internal energy. That pill was given to me by a cultivator a year ago. It's called the Jade Spirit Pill. After taking it, you can recover your internal energy the soonest. I'll give it to you."

He looked respectful when he said that, but his eyes flashed with a trace of cunningness.

It was not a Jade Spirit Pill but a kind of paralyzing poison.

The Jade Spirit Pill?

Quincy's eyes lit up with joy. She knew that the Jade Spirit Pill was a rare treasure. She did not expect the man in front of her would have it.

That pill was yellowish and had a hint of fragrance. It was precisely the same as the Jade Spirit Pill in the Royal Palace.

At that time, Quincy did not know that she had been deceived.

"That's right!"

Quincy smiled and said, "You are so kind, Eastin. When I recover my internal energy, I will definitely treat you well. I see that you are not weak either. You can be an imperial guard and stay by my side in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Diego hypocritically knelt with a bright smile on his face and thanked Quincy.
