Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 118

"You're lucky that you met me today, or else you'd be dead in no time,” Darryl scoffed as he put the Bicolor Flower into the clay pot. He began to prepare the other ingredients.

Other than the Bicolor Flower, the antidote required rice vinegar and peony petals. Darryl stupefied Skyler as he watched him work.

Was he refining the antidote right there? Did he know the recipe, or was he just pretending? The Heaven Cult Elixir’s antidote... How could someone else other than the Grandmaster know about it?

Questions flooded Skyler's mind. Finally, an elixir appeared in Darryl’s hand. He was done!

"Eat it," Darryl demanded as he put the pill in Skyler's mouth. Although Darryl seemed calm, he was nervous deep down. If the pill did not work and Skyler died, the disciples outside would assume he killed Skyler. It would turn out mortifying.

However, Darryl was overthinking. In less than five minutes, Skyler’s pale face returned to normal, and his body stopped twitching.

Darryl sighed in relief. It seemed that the 'Infinite Elixir' was true! He had successfully refined two Elixirs, first the Godly pill, and now this antidote.

"Thank you...thank you!" Skyler finally stood up,

staggering.

What happened next caught Darryl entirely off guard.

Skyler dropped to his knees with tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Darryl... Oh, no. Brother Darryl, please save my brothers. They all ingested the Elixir a day later than I did. Without the antidote, they will die tomorrow.

Please, I beg you..." he sobbed.

With that, he bowed his head onto the ground three times.

Darryl lowered his head to look at him and sighed.

To be honest, the Heaven Cult did not make a good impression on him. As they said, this cult was full of evil and violent disciples. Yet, as he looked at Skyler— who begged on behalf of his brothers-he knew he was a man of his words. Even as a high-ranking Master, he went on his knees to plead for the lives of his brothers!

Skyler's act moved Daryl as he nodded.

"Skyler, I'm very impressed by how you treat your brothers. However, to make this antidote, I’ll need an essential ingredient. It is the Bicolor Flower that I used." 1

Excitement filled Skyler’s face.

"Brother Darryl, this ingredient is not difficult to find. I know a place with plenty of Bicolor Flowers! However, the place is dangerous, with many beasts lurking around. Don't worry; I'll ask my brothers to get them for you. I could bring you there with us if you'd prefer!"
