Chapter 4714
After that, Empress Heidi put on a smile and said to Darryl, "It would be best if you're
willing to go. I'll be deeply grateful if you could retrieve the Ghost Spirit Herb and solve my
problem."
She was extremely excited about the suggestion.
Darryl acted humble and spoke with his head lowered , "You’re too kind, Your Ladyship."
Deep in his heart, he sneered, I don't expect you to reward me. It's good enough if you
stop looking for trouble.'
An idea appeared in his mind as he looked at Cloud Spirit who was standing proudly, "Your
Ladyship, I won't be able to finish the task by myself. I would like to request an assistant."
"Who do you have in mind?" Empress Heidi asked.
Darryl smiled and pointed his finger at Cloud Spirit, 'She will be just fine.’
In actuality, Cloud Spirit would not be of any help during the trip. However, she had acted
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttoo proud and arrogant just because she thought she was a confidant to Empress Heidi,
she could be disrespectful to other people. Darryl wanted to use this opportunity to
suppress Cloud Spirit's arrogance.
'What?' Both Empress Heidi and Cloud Spirit had the same reaction when they heard it.
They were stunned. After a second, Empress Heidi reacted and asked, "I don't think Cloud
Spirit could be any assistance to you since her ability is not that strong."
Cloud Spirit squeezed her eyebrows together with a curious look on her face. 'What
purpose does this deceitful old man has requesting for me to go along with him?'
Darryl smiled and started to make up his reason, ’There is something which Your Ladyship
might not know. The Ghost Spirit Herb contains extremely strong chilly yin energy. I am a
male so my body contains warm yang power. Once I touch the Ghost Spirit Herb, it will
affect its effect. So the best way is for a female to pick the Ghost Spirit Herb. Since Cloud
Spirit is Your Ladyship's most trusted personal maid, she is the best person for the job. I'm
sure Your Ladyship does not wish for too many people to know about this."
Darryl came out with a very appropriate reason, the one without any flaws.
After hearing Darryl out. Empress Heidi exhaled lightly and nodded, "You are right. Cloud
Spirit, you are going to go along with Barely Immortal." ’Yes, Your Ladyship,” replied Cloud
Spirit unwillingly.
There was nothing wrong to go on a trip to search for the Ghost Spirit Herb for Empress
Heidi. Cloud Spirit was more than happy to do that. The problem was doing it together
with Barely Immortal. There must be another reason why the deceitful old man had
specially requested her presence. Cloud Spirit could clearly feel that it was not as simple
as Barely Immortal had explained. The reason behind it could be another conspiracy.
However, all of these were just Cloud Spirit's speculation. She had no evidence to prove
her point so she did not dare to speak out her thoughts to Empress Heidi.
Darryl smiled brightly when Empress Heidi agreed with his request, "One more thing. I
hope that Cloud Spirit will obey my orders when we have reached the Black Swamp."
'What? Obey your orders?' At this point, Cloud Spirit had enough. Her exquisite face was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfull of disdain, ’What a joke? Why should I obey your order?" ’To save the hassle of
argument," Darryl said proudly and slowly, "And also to make sure we could quickly find
and return with the Ghost Spirit Herb. Why? Do you have any problem with it?"
Darryl looked very serious but deep down, he was sneering in his heart.' You shouldn't look
down on people. I'm going to teach you a lesson when we reach the Black Swamp." "I..."
Cloud Spirit glared at Darryl angrily while her face flushed red. She could not find any
words to refute back. 'The purpose of going to the Black Swamp was to solve Empress
Heidi's weakness of having Nine Yin Profound Body. If I disagree, Her Ladyship will
definitely be unhappy. It's just that the way this deceitful old man acted so high and
mighty really frustrated me.'
Empress Heidi smiled and said, "That's it. Barely Immortal is in charge and you do as he
says. It's up to you to see if I can breakthrough. I hope you won't disappoint me!" "Yes,
Your Ladyship!" Cloud Spirit quickly responded with respect regardless of her
unwillingness.
