Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2399

Darryl sneered as he studied Zhang Jue's expression and said, "It's not that I don't want to believe you, but let's be honest here. What you have done so far makes it really difficult to do so. As long as you are focused on assisting me in our defense against the Raksasa Tribe, I promise you will get the antidote in time. Am I understood?"

"Understood..." Zhang Jue nodded without hesitation. He would not dare to say otherwise in his circumstances. Zhang Jue might be a master in the Art of Elixir, but the Heaven Cult Elixir recipe was something he had not been able to get his hands on so far. After all, the Heaven Cult Elixir was the Heaven Cult's top-secret from years ago. Zhang Jue trembled as he pictured himself dying miserably without the antidote.

The crowd gaped at the sudden turn of events, and amongst them, Chester, Yvette, Chang Er, and the others were exceptionally pleased. They looked at Darryl with approval in their eyes.

Zhang Jue was as untamable as a wild horse. There was no way of knowing for sure whether he had truly accepted his punishment. Darryl's approach to dealing with him was most appropriate.

"Lady Chang Er, you appointed Zhang Jue to assist me, but are you not going to lead the North Moana Army to fight against the Raksasa Tribe with us?" Darryl grinned and asked as he faced Chang Er. All eyes gathered on Chang Er once again. Indeed, as Emperor Hou Yi's wife, the famed Lady Chang Er had connections worldwide. One word from her would be sufficient to gather all forces in the Nine Mainland to encourage better coordination.

"I—" Chang Er smiled gently when she realized that everyone was looking at her and said, "I have spent far too much time in Chun Yangzi's sect and have completely gotten used to the peacefulness there. I cannot bear to see blood and conflicts any longer. Besides, I hardly possess the skill to lead an army." Chang Er paused to study Darryl before she shifted to a more serious tone. "Darryl Darby, you possess exceptional talent. You are not only proficient in literature and martial art, but you are also resourceful when it comes to military strategies. No other man is worthy of leading the Nine Mainland against our enemies but you." Sincerity and appreciation filled Chang Er's attractive features.

She used to look down on Darryl, but after she got to know him, she realized that even though he might be indecent most of the time, he always came through and found a way to turn the circumstances around whenever and wherever he was needed. A talented man like Darryl Darby was truly a rare gem in the whole of Nine Mainland.

Chang Er nodded with a smile and said, "I will pray for your success in defending the Nine Mainland against the Raksasa Tribe. Master Chun Yang and I will be taking our leave now. We await the good news of your victory."

Lu Dongbin had planned to stay and help, but with the North Moana Army under Darryl's command, there should not be any further internal conflict. With all hearts united as one, they would surely succeed in defeating the Raksasa Tribe, and hence, Lu Dongbin no longer had any particular reason to stay.

Darryl nodded at them respectfully. Without another word, Chang Er and Lu Dongbin flew off; they disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
