Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3618

He could tell that Peacock Lilibet was doing that to embarrass him in front of everyone. No matter what power he demonstrated, one harsh word from her, and he would need to dig a hole to burrow himself in.

He smiled and said, "It's no fun if I do it alone. Let's have a little competition." That way, he would not embarrass himself since there was always a winner and a loser in a competition.

Peacock Lilibet did not hesitate; she nodded and said, "Fine! What do you want to compete in?" She was confident that she would be able to beat him in anything. It was only pure luck that he managed to help the White Tiger King take down the Red Sparrow Queen. He must be a masochist for wanting to compete against her.

"I'm fine with whatever you decide," Darryl said with a smile.

At that, the entire stone castle broke out in pandemonium.

"That Darryl is very confident."

"Yeah, Peacock Lilibet is the late Red Sparrow Queen's right-hand woman. She's very strong. Even as a Dragon Lord, he's still no match for her."

"Things are about to get very interesting."

Their words floated around, and even Peacock Lilibet was sizing Darryl up with a frown on her face. 'D*mn, he's confident. I can't believe he would let me decide.'

Disdain flashed in her eyes as she pointed at a mountain outside the stone hall. "Let's see who can bring an Echeveria peacockii from the top of that mountain in the shortest time." Her face was utterly confident as she said that.

Another pandemonium broke out in the stone castle.

Peacock Lilibet pointed at the highest mountain in the area. It was over 30,000 meters high, making it very close to the enchanted barrier. Many demons were trapped there because the enchanted barrier was too strong. The top of the mountain nearly touched the barrier, making it the most dangerous place there. Under those conditions, it was almost impossible for anyone to pick an Echeveria peacockii up there.

However, Peacock Lilibet, with her extraordinary flying ability, might just be able to do that. Therefore, everyone thought that Darryl would refuse the challenge. After all, he was a mere human being. No one would be that stupid to compete in a challenge where one was clearly at a disadvantage.

"You're on!" Darryl said without hesitation.

Pandemonium broke out for the third time. They could not believe he accepted the challenge.

Peacock Lilibet did not expect he would agree so fast, which made her frown. The next moment, she nodded and said, "I'll go first." With that, she shot off the stone castle in a stream of rainbow light, heading straight for the mountain peak.

Immediately, everyone rushed out of the stone castle and followed Peacock Lilibet with their eyes. In the blink of an eye, they saw Peacock Lilibet had already reached the mountain top when terrifying energy surged from the enchanted barrier and exploded on Peacock Lilibet in the form of lightning.
