Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2329

Darryl frowned and looked over to investigate it. A slim and elegant figure strolled into his tent. She was Jackie Yale, the woman he had a few conflicts with at the Yellow Sea Continent.

"It's you!" Darryl grinned widely at the sight of Jackie. "You're here to visit me? How touching!"

Jackie Yale was the Illusion Sound Sect's Sect Master and the Sun Set Sect's Elder Master; she was someone with supreme status and extreme pride. Darryl had managed to offend her a couple of times, and he even managed to place her in a situation where she had to say that he was her husband while they were in the Famed Sword Manor's Sword Casting Pool. Darryl thought that someone as arrogant as Jackie would harbor a deep hatred toward him for that. He did not imagine that she would move from the past and go to the Chaotic Mountain Range as one of the defenders against the Raksasa Tribe, let alone to visit him at his tent.

"Get over yourself! I am not here to visit you. I'm here to see if you're dead!" Jackie's face turned crimson as she denied it.

Jackie did not give him any time to react; she reached out swiftly to seal Darryl's acupoint! The man could not even dodge it as he did not have his internal energy; he was immediately frozen in place. He widened his eyes in surprise. "You—"

"You b*stard! You never thought you'd be at my mercy, did you?" Jackie said coolly, "Don't you dare think that I have forgotten what you did to me."

Indeed, Jackie did not go there to visit him, but she wanted to teach Darryl a lesson. Darryl had tricked her repeatedly when they were in the Yellow Sea Continent, and she had not moved past the humiliation. At that time, she could not take her revenge because Darryl had been too strong for her. However, he was like a mere mortal because he had failed in his latest cultivation. That was her chance to do something about it.

Jackie snuck her way in as soon as it turned dark but could not take action until Yvette and the others left the tent. Once they were gone, she could not wait to barge into it.

Darryl could sense Jackie's rage; he explained helplessly, "Jackie, you have to understand that I did not plot for what happened in the Famed Sword Manor's Sword Casting Pool. We didn't have another way to get out of the situation. You're not still holding a grudge against having to call me your husband, are you?"

"How dare you even mention that again?!" Jackie stomped her feet in frustration; her face got redder as she thought back to what had happened. She decided not to waste any more time with him. She knocked him unconscious before she took him away from the camp. Then, they reached a cave a few kilometers away from the Chaotic Mountain Range.

Jackie smirked mockingly. "Allies? You are nothing but a mortal now; what makes you think you have what it takes to stand against the Raksasa Tribe? No one would mourn you even if I were to kill you right here."

Darryl smiled bitterly. "Fine, but I guess that you did not kidnap me just to take it out on me, right?"

Jackie frowned and stared at Darryl. "You are not as dumb as I thought you were." Then, she picked up the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and said, "I heard that the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is one of the rarest treasures in the world, with armies of ancient warriors trapped in it. Teach me how to use it, and I'll let you go."

When not in use, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda remained in its most miniature form. Darryl wore it like a pendant. Since Darryl had been unconscious, Jackie took it to inspect it. However, she could not find a way to open it.
