After that, Empress Heidi put on a smile and said to Darryl, "It would be best if you're willing to go. I'll be deeply grateful if you could retrieve the Ghost Spirit Herb and solve my problem."
She was extremely excited about the suggestion.
Darryl acted humble and spoke with his head lowered , "You're too kind, Your Ladyship."
Deep in his heart, he sneered, I don't expect you to reward me. It's good enough if you stop looking for trouble.'
An idea appeared in his mind as he looked at Cloud Spirit who was standing proudly, "Your Ladyship, I won't be able to finish the task by myself. I would like to request an assistant."
"Who do you have in mind?" Empress Heidi asked.
Darryl smiled and pointed his finger at Cloud Spirit, "She will be just fine."
In actuality, Cloud Spirit would not be of any help during the trip. However, she had acted too proud and arrogant just because she thought she was a confidant to Empress Heidi, she could be disrespectful to other people. Darryl wanted to use this opportunity to suppress Cloud Spirit's arrogance.
'What?' Both Empress Heidi and Cloud Spirit had the same reaction when they heard it. They were stunned. After a second, Empress Heidi reacted and asked, "I don't think Cloud Spirit could be any assistance to you since her ability is not that strong."
Cloud Spirit squeezed her eyebrows together with a curious look on her face. 'What purpose does this deceitful old man has requesting for me to go along with him?'
Darryl smiled and started to make up his reason, "There is something which Your Ladyship might not know. The Ghost Spirit Herb contains extremely strong chilly yin energy. I am a male so my body contains warm yang power. Once I touch the Ghost Spirit Herb, it will affect its effect. So the best way is for a female to pick the Ghost Spirit Herb. Since Cloud Spirit is Your Ladyship's most trusted personal maid, she is the best person for the job. I'm sure Your Ladyship does not wish for too many people to know about this."
"To save the hassle of argument," Darryl said proudly and slowly, "And also to make sure we could quickly find and return with the Ghost Spirit Herb. Why? Do you have any problem with it?"
Darryl looked very serious but deep down, he was sneering in his heart. 'You shouldn't look down on people. I'm going to teach you a lesson when we reach the Black Swamp."
"I…" Cloud Spirit glared at Darryl angrily while her face flushed red. She could not find any words to refute back. 'The purpose of going to the Black Swamp was to solve Empress Heidi's weakness of having Nine Yin Profound Body. If I disagree, Her Ladyship will definitely be unhappy. It's just that the way this deceitful old man acted so high and mighty really frustrated me.'
Empress Heidi smiled and said, "That's it. Barely Immortal is in charge and you do as he says. It's up to you to see if I can breakthrough. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
"Yes, Your Ladyship!" Cloud Spirit quickly responded with respect regardless of her unwillingness.
