Darryl continued to turn around to check on Yvette. Her face had become even paler, so he was worried that she
would pass out soon.
“Mother Empress.”
Yvette bit her lips and said weakly, “If you don’t want Darryl to take you, I can still… can hold on…” Her voice was
soft; she was exhausted.
Yvette felt touched when Darryl offered to take the Empress with him.
However, there was nothing they could have done if the Empress disagreed with that.
“This—”
The Empress was in a dilemma; she could see that Yvette was exhausted. It did not look as if she could hold on for
much longer.
However, she could not accept Darryl’s close distance from her if he were to take her with him as he swam toward
the island.

The Empress glanced at Darryl arrogantly. “Release my acupoints; I can swim on my own.”
When the four Scope brothers rescued her from the palace, they had sealed her acupoints. They were from the Ice
Fire Island, and they had a unique method to seal one’s acupoints. The Empress had tried different ways to unseal
them but to no avail.
She thought that Darryl would know how to do it since he had a good relationship with Stella.
She was a Martial Emperor; she would be able to stay afloat even though she did not really know how to swim.
However, she would need to unseal her acupoints first.
“Unseal your acupoint? I don’t know how to do it!” Darryl replied without any hesitation.
Darryl might have looked grave when he answered her, but he was amused. He did know how to unseal her
acupoints—it was the Reverse Acupoint method. When Eric had caught him, he had also struggled when he tried to
unseal his acupoints. He could only escape when Stella told him about the trick.
If it were someone else, perhaps Darryl would have helped them to release their acupoints.
However, he was annoyed with the Empress as she still maintained a proud stance, even when they were in such a
difficult situation. Darryl had kept his thoughts to himself out of respect for Yvette, but he could not wait to teach
her a lesson.
‘He doesn’t know how to do that?’
The Empress was anxious; her eyebrows were furrowed as she studied Darryl closely. “How could you not know
how to do that? Isn’t Stella your woman?”
The Empress sounded vexed when she said the last sentence.
She had no idea why her daughter would fall for that man. He had so many women around him, yet she had
chosen to be with him.
“Your Majesty!” Darryl looked bitter as he explained, “I told you that I just met Stella. We got married because her
four senior brothers tricked me into it. I don’t know them well, so how would I know the way to relieve your
acupoints?”
“Oh…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Empress bit her lips as she glared at Darryl. Then, she said, “Well, it looks like I have no choice but to let you
take me then…”
What?
‘Did she say that she had no choice?’
Darryl felt helpless. He turned toward Yvette and said, “You should go first. I will follow behind you.”
Yvette nodded in agreement as she pushed the Empress toward Darryl. Then she continued to swim toward the
island.
Finally, Yvette felt relaxed; she no longer looked pale.
Darryl did not say anything else. He told the Empress to put her arms around his neck and swim close to him.
Gasp!
Darryl sucked in a mouthful of air!
The Empress had a perfect figure. Her body stiffened. Darryl felt as if his heart would jump out of his rib cage due
to his anxiety and embarrassment.
It was only a day ago that she had resisted Darryl; she had not wanted to have anything to do with him. She had
hated him because of the Emperor’s death.
