Just as Darryl was struck in a stupor, Leah took the lead and bowed to Empress Heidi. "This is Darryl, a newcomer who has just arrived in Spirited Fruit Garden. He's here to send the precious fruits."
'So, he is the servant that takes care of the Spirited Fruit Garden.'
Empress Heidi nodded without the slightest expression on her beautiful face.
Leah frowned when she noticed that Darryl kept staring at the Empress and yelled impatiently, "How bold! Not only did you not kneel when you saw Her Majesty; you even looked at Her Majesty."
Leah walked forward and kicked Darryl fiercely.
Darryl's knees buckled, and he landed on his knees instantly.
'D*mn it!'
Darryl was irritated. 'Leah is such a big bully! Even if I'm just a servant in the orchard, there is no need for her to treat me like a slave.'
Even though Darryl was upset, he did not show it on his face. After all, he was granted an audience by Empress Heidi.
"Hey!"
Then, Leah urged in an angry tone. "Why are you in a daze? Why don't you present the precious fruits to Her Majesty?"
Darryl took a deep breath and offered the precious fruits respectfully. A servant immediately took them from him and presented the fruits to Empress Heidi.
Empress Heidi looked at the appearance of the precious fruit and said, "Are these the ripened fruits this season?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Darryl quickly responded.
Darryl decided that he would not return to the Spirited Fruit Garden when he left the Jade Fairyland. Instead, he would head straight to the teleportation gateway. Although there were many beautiful fairies in the Godly Region, he did not belong there. He knew that he would eventually get into trouble for overstaying.
Leah picked up a precious fruit after receiving the signal from Empress Heidi.
The next second, Empress Heidi took the fruit and ate it.
Empress Heidi kept a straight face when she issued the order. Punishing a servant that took care of the Spirited Fruit Garden was quite ordinary, indeed.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Leah replied.
'What?'
Darryl was taken aback.
'F*ck! What's going on? Just because those precious fruits do not meet her expectations, she is using the thunder to punish me?'
Such brutality!
Darryl was in despair.
He thought he was merely running an errand to present those precious fruits to the Empress. He did not think the situation would turn out so severe that he would be punished with thunder. Darryl had just acquired the nascent soul; how could he possibly withstand the bombardment of thunder?
