'What?' Darryl was shocked. 'No way! I'm not Grunt. I'll be completely exposed if I don't go back to the Nine Mainland!'
However, he could not say that out loud. Instead, he forced a smile and said, "Okay, go to sleep. I'll keep watch over you."
The Princess smiled and nodded. "I'm so lucky to have you, Grunt!"
She snuggled close to Darryl and closed her eyes.
Darryl lay there, not daring to move. He was waiting for Princess Dorothy to fall asleep so that he could sneak out to get the glazed water. Finally, she fell into a deep sleep, and Darryl got up excitedly.
"His Majesty and Her Majesty are here!" a voice came from outside the room, and soon they heard footsteps.
'Sh*t! The Nine Heaven Emperor and Empress Heidi are here?' Darryl started to panic. At the same time, Princess Dorothy also woke up.
"Grunt, don't worry. I'll explain to Father and Mother," Princess Dorothy said when she saw the anxious look on Darryl's face. Then, she quickly put on some clothes, and Darryl did the same.
While putting on their clothes, they saw the Nine Heaven Emperor and Empress Heidi, along with some maids, walking toward them slowly. Darryl quickly turned around. Even though he had transformed into Grunt's appearance, it was still best not to let the Nine Heaven Emperor and Empress Heidi see his face.
He could vaguely see the imposing Nine Heaven Emperor dressed in a golden dragon robe through a bronze mirror. As for Empress Heidi, she was dressed in a gorgeous phoenix robe. Her delicate figure was vividly displayed under the fold of the phoenix robe, making her look extraordinarily dignified and elegant.
However, Darryl was in no mood to admire them at that moment. He was sweating profusely while his mood sank to the bottom of the pit. 'It's truly over this time!' Although Princess Dorothy was willing to defend him, there was no way the Nine Heaven Emperor would let the whole thing slide after seeing the disheveled state they were in.
