Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 1717

"Emperor Hou Yi, I’m sorry. I didn't want to kill you. I only wanted to make you go into a psychotic break. Otherwise, you wouldn’t spare me, who had intruded your secret chamber. I didn’t know that you would die."

Darryl stood beside the body as he put his palms together and muttered under his breath.

After he finished what he wanted to say, Darryl walked to the shattered wall and took a few pills that had been hidden in the secret cells. He could not wait any longer; he swallowed one of the pills.

Hum!

The moment he swallowed the pill, Darryl felt a warm current that traveled to his limbs from his energy field. He felt warm and comfortable.

Darryl wasted no time. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb the strength.

Soon, half an hour went by before Darryl opened his eyes. Two streams of dazzling light shone from his lit-up eyes; he was indescribably excited.

‘I’ve recovered!’ He laughed.

His internal energy had been completely restored.

Darryl was too excited; he quickly stood up and strode out of the secret chamber.

When he went outside, he noticed the quiet surroundings. He heaved a sigh of relief. It was apparent that the area was a forbidden place for Emperor Hou Yi’s cultivation. No one would usually go near the building.

No one, except Darryl, knew of Emperor Hou Yi's sudden death.

Darryl did not hesitate as he mustered his internal energy and took advantage of the night to slip out of the palace.

Darryl left the palace quickly after he got outside. When he reached the top of the hill opposite the palace, he noticed that Celine and Queenie were still tied up and held there. All the major sects from the World Universe continent were also there as they waited for Megan. When Darryl approached the top of the hill, he realized that everyone, including Kent, was anxious as they awaited Megan’s return.

"Darryl!"

Kent greeted Darryl with an impatient look. "Why are you alone? Where’s Meg?" He dared to use Megan’s nickname when she was not around.

Everyone around him stared at Darryl very closely. They looked conflicted.

‘It’s strange that Darryl came back alone.’
