Chapter 5126
Goliry was overcome with joy and relief when he finally agreed. "Get on with it, then."
Darryl smiled and nodded.’My idea's pretty simple. All you have to do is cling to me, and
your burning sensation will be gone."
Darryl grinned at Goliry and looked at her up and down as he spoke.
Darryl was purposefully teasing Goliry. That woman was always putting on airs. How could
he pass up the opportunity to have some fun?
Yet, Darryl was not speaking complete nonsense. With his sage body, all Goliry had to do
was cling to him, and she would be immune to the heat.
Goliry jerked as her face flushed red and her chest pounded in humiliation at the words.
Darryl Darby was such a b*stard! He had not had enough of taking advantage of her and
wanted to touch her as well. How could she look anyone in the eyes after that?
Goliry could not take it amid her rage and shock, so she glared at Darryl and yelled, "How
dare you trick me! Are you trying to die?" As she spoke, she drew her longsword once
again in one swift move.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow could she maintain her reputation if news of her, the Saint of the Red Shirt Crusade,
was teased by one of the Quad Ocean Sect bastards to that extent?
Darryl did not become alarmed at the sight of the longsword. He sighed and said, "Why
are you always threatening to kill me? I'm not lying to you; everything I said was true.
"I rescued my cousin from a massive fire about a year ago. I carried her out on my back,
expecting her to be burned, but she was perfectly fine.
"So I'm telling you I know what I'm talking about, and that's why I'm saying what I'm
saying. Please don't think I'm trying to take advantage of you."
Darryl's face was solemn as he spoke, but he was laughing on the inside.
Goliry's face was expressionless as she remained silent, her chest swaying in persuasion.
If he was telling the truth, that was the only way it could work.
However, she still had to keep her purity. It would be extremely embarrassing for him to
carry her.
"Forget it!"
Darryl pretended to shrug when he noticed Go I iry's hesitation. "If you don't want to do it,
you can pretend I didn't say anything. I suppose you could kill me. I can say that dying at
the hands of such a beauty was well worth it.”
As the words rang through the air, Darryl lifted his chin to expose his neck as he closed his
eyes.
Whew!
Goliry took a deep breath, her chest thudding with trepidation.
It would be such an injustice to be burned to death in that manner.
'Whatever. No one else would see me on his back anyway. It'd be fine.'
Goliry put down her longsword and bit her lower lip in response to the thought. "Then,
carry me." Her face turned crimson at the end of the sentence, like a ripe apple.
Darryl smirked to himself at the words. Goliry had spent the entire time pacing back and
forth and still succumbed at the end.
Darryl nodded, turning his back against Goliry and crouching for her to get on his back.
Goliry paused for a second before climbing on slowly, her arms tightly wrapped around
Darryl's neck.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDarryl let out a dazed gasp as he sensed Goliry's soft, slim body pressed close to him,
along with a breathtaking scent.
How soft, how fragrant!
Darryl's arms tightened around Goliry's legs as he walked quickly forward in search of the
cave's exit.
Goliry was as stiff as a spring, refusing to move. Darryl's arms around her legs, thumping
up and down as he walked, elicited an odd sensation in her.
What really surprised her was that when she got close to Darryl, all she felt was a cooling
sensation that made the sweltering heat around her bearable.
It was truly incredible.
Goliry was taken aback when she realized that.
Darryl seemed ordinary, but his body was actually fire-resistant.
"You—"
After a while, Goliry noticed that Darryl's hands appeared to have shifted position after a
while, and her face flushed instantly. "Don't... do not raise your hands so high..."
