The idea of a tournament to see who gets to deal with Queenie was indeed Megan’s idea. However, she could not
take the initiative to suggest as the Alliance Master of the World Universe, so Watson naturally did it in her stead.
“Uh…”
Master Ralph contemplated upon hearing this with a conflicted look.
He definitely would not have hesitated were it in the past since he was one of the strongest in the Middle Terra after
all and also considered one of the top cultivators even among the Nine Mainland.
However, the previous intense battle with the fiery kylin had injured him badly. The Sky Fountain Sect had no
winning chances were he to hold a tournament since all of them were powerful cultivators of the Nine Mainland
after all.
“Great! It’s a great idea!”
“Let’s have a tournament then! Whoever wins gets to take this young lady away!”
“Yes, yes. It should be the way as it only seems fair!”
The surrounding cultivators nodded their heads furiously in excitement just when Master Ralph was still hesitating.

Master Ralph could only nod his head upon seeing this as he bitterly smiled and said, “In that case, let’s do it then.”
In truth, Master Ralph was extremely unwilling to hold a tournament.
However, he had no choice with the situation before him as the majority were in favor of the tournament.
Disagreeing meant offending the various sects and there were over a hundred of them. They could not afford to
offend these sects no matter how powerful and influential the Sky Fountain Sect was.
“Woola!”
The crowd was delighted upon seeing Master Ralph’s agreement. At the same time, they instructed their disciples
to quickly clear up the battlefield and built a huge battle stage.
Darryl let out a long sigh and could only hope he would win the tournament at that moment. Only by winning could
he save Queenie.
Darryl had no other choice as well. It would be impossible for him to save Queenie that day without going through
the tournament.
Queenie could no longer take the terrifying force thrashing around in her at that moment and passed out.
‘Queenie, don’t worry, I won’t let you fall into the hands of others.’ Darryl clenched both his fists tightly and secretly
swore.
“Hubby!”
Lily quickly tugged Darryl’s arm right at that moment feeling extremely worried. “Are you alright about this
tournament?”
She knew that her man was the bravest in the entire world with nothing he could not do.
Only that… The people right before her were the Nine Mainland’s powerful cultivators. Could Darryl really face so
many of them?
Darryl smiled and gave Lily a comforting look.
Zhurong beside them bore through his pain and slowly stood up. He had also found out that Queenie was Darryl’s
cousin at that moment and felt extremely guilty at heart. He had caused her more harm than good when he gave
her those two treasures.
Zhurong slowly walked over to Darryl before sizing Lily up and was secretly stunned. ‘Did such an ugly woman just
call Darryl her husband just now?’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhurong could not help but ask Darryl in the next second, “She is…?”
Darryl smiled and introduced, “Brother Zhurong! This is my wife, Lily. It might be frightening to look at her now, but
she previously used to be a famous goddess as well back then in our city.”
Darryl was smiling as he said that, but he felt indescribably guilty at heart.
Lily became as such due to him and he could never fully repay her this life no matter what.
“Oh!”
Zhurong nodded before looking at Lily. “Lily, was your face being poisoned by something?”
There was nothing new to him as a powerful cultivator who had lived for a few thousand years. He naturally would
not judge a person by only their looks.
“I…”
Lily hesitated for a while before roughly recounting her story under Darryl’s encouragement.
“I see!” Zhurong nodded his head in realization as though he thought about something.
Darryl’s heartbeat increased upon seeing Zhurong’s reaction.
‘Could it be that Brother Zhurong has a way to cure Lily?’
“Everyone!”
