Chapter 4432
That kid!
At the sight of Queenie's retreating figure, Darryl fought the urge to cry out in amusement and annoyance.
Uhh...
The next second, Darryl turned around and saw that Celine had opened her eyes, watching him with an
unreadable expression. Darryl was at a loss for words.
She would not have heard what Queenie had just said, right?
Darryl flashed a smile. He said politely, "Ah, you're up?"
"Yes!
Celine responded, putting on a calm expression despite the wild pounding in her heart that would not calm down
no matter how hard she tried. She had heard every word of Queenie and Darryl's conversation.
She was a rational, level-headed person and was embarrassed when Queenie brought up the bet she had made
with Darryl.
However, Celine did not show it. Instead, she pretended to ask, "Where's Queenie?"
"Oh, her."
Darryl startled briefly. Then, she said, "She said she was hungry and went to get some
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfood."
Celine did not say anything further. She bowed her head, deep in thought.
The air was wrought with tension.
"What's up?"
A few seconds later, Darryl asked, "Is something on your mind?"
"No," Celine scrambled to answer before swiftly changing the subject." Darryl, what do you
plan to do from here onward?" She did not wish to bring up the bet at all; that had been
embarrassing.
Darryl pondered briefly before saying, "I'll head back to the World Universe and meet up
with Chester and the rest. I don't know what's been happening with the Carter family
members since I left for the Godly Region."
Darryl watched Celine closely. "Have your powers recovered?"
Darryl could see that Celine's face was still a little pale. It was obvious that being held
captive at the Maple Courtyard for a few days had significantly harmed her powers.
"I'm alright!"
Celine blushed lightly, speaking in a rather awkward tone. "They're not completely
recovered, but I'm better now." She kept her head bowed, refusing to meet Darryl's eye.
Celine wanted to remain level-headed. Yet, at the thought of her bet with Darryl, her heart
would begin to pound unnaturally fast.
When he saw the look on Celine's face, Darryl seemed to have realized something. He
flashed a smile.
So Celine must have heard what Queenie just said, which was why she was acting so shy.
Who would have thought that the great Honorable Pianist had such a shy, flustered side to
her?
"I-"
Darryl's gaze made Celine flush harder. She bit her lip, muttering, "I will go back to
cultivating." She resumed her cross-legged position on the floor and closed her eyes to
cultivate again.
There was no need for Celine to continue cultivating. Her situation was not one where she
could recover in a short period. Yet she had no choice- there was no way she could face
Darryl like that.
"Alright!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDarryl chuckled to himself. He tamped down the urge to tease her further. Instead, she nodded and said, "Go on,
then. I'll keep a lookout for you."
As Celine continued to cultivate, Darryl stood at the side. The cave fell silent.
Celine sat with a seemingly serene expression, but she could not stop thinking of Darryl. Darryl had become
Emperor of Westrington, indeed. So, that meant he would have to keep his promise and make her his wife.
However, Darryl was Queenie's brother-in-law! Would that not be a huge mistake if she were to become his wife?
Celine's mind raced as her worry grew. She completely forgot that she was supposed to be cultivating, and
breaking focus in the middle of cultivation was a considerable risk. It had barely been ten minutes before Celine's
figure jerked, and her face paled as her forehead beaded with sweat.
Crap!
She had not been able to calm down and focus, and those were the side effects.
Celine could not contain her panic. However, the more nervous she grew, the more her internal energy got
messier.
"Hmph..."
Finally, Celine could not hold it in any longer. She let out a series of low groans, curled up in a trembling ball on
the floor as her face creased with pain.
What the f*ck?
Darryl was shocked. He scrambled to ask, "What's wrong?"
