Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3917

'What?' The Nine Heavens Emperor froze, and his face was grim and uncertain. 'They're in love? My daughter and Darryl?'

Like Empress Heidi, the Nine Heaven God did not see Darryl's transfigured appearance before and erroneously believed that his daughter liked Darryl. Neither he nor Empress Heidi had any reason to think they were making a huge mistake.

Finally, the Nine Heaven Emperor finished processing the whole thing and said coldly, "All the more reason for me to kill him!"

He was beyond furious. He thought it was an unforgivable sin for Darryl to impersonate him. The fact that his master appointed Darryl as the Nine Heaven Sage and Nuwa helped put in a good word for him did not help at all. On the contrary, it made him even more hellbent on finding ways to exact his revenge on Darryl.

'He's nothing but a mere mortal! What gives him the right to be a Nine Heaven Sage?' the Nine Heaven Emperor thought. Darryl's relationship with his daughter was the last straw. He felt that his pride had been defiled. Darryl must die horribly.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Think about what will happen to our daughter if you kill Darryl now," the panicking Empress Heidi said.

The Nine Heaven Emperor scoffed and said, "She only has herself to blame for liking somebody she shouldn't have liked." The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "She is too stubborn! She knew that Darryl and I were not on good terms after what happened previously, and yet she still stubbornly chose to be with him?"

There was no stopping his rage from surging at that point.

"I know you hated him. I don't have a good impression of him either. He had barged into the Godly Region and ate the spirited fruit without permission. But, no matter what, he's the Nine Heaven Sage. He is second only to you, so it's not like Dorothy's status would be lowered. Besides, they had already—" Empress Heidi was too embarrassed to say the last few words. However, her expression was one of determination.

Every word she said was from the bottom of her heart. She did not have a good impression of Darryl, but she had no choice but to give her blessings to the lovebirds since they had already done the deed. More importantly, many maids witnessed the whole thing, and that would cause a scandal if the word were to spread out. No one would marry Princess Dorothy if the Nine Heaven Emperor killed Darryl.

"What… What are you saying? That I should agree to their marriage?" the Nine Heaven Emperor said with a skeptical frown.

Empress Heidi nodded.

"Have you gone insane?" the stunned Nine Heave Emperor said. His eyes were full of conflicted emotions. Then, he shook his head and said determinedly, "No, that is absolutely impossible. He's nothing but a sneaky clown who is beneath my daughter!"

Empress Heidi sighed helplessly and patiently said, "Your Majesty, I can understand that you are angry, but think about it. We can't undo the past, and countless maids know what happened between the two of them. If Darryl dies, our daughter's reputation will be ruined. Besides, it's a favor at a little cost to you. No one will gossip about our daughter if Darryl becomes our son-in-law. More importantly, as our son-in-law, he would have to listen to your every word in the future."

The Nine Heaven Emperor frowned and pondered it before he gradually calmed. There seemed to be some truth to what Empress Heidi said. It was essential to prevent a family scandal—his daughter's happiness would be gone if he killed Darryl. Furthermore, he would be able to restrain Darryl's recklessness and rebelliousness if he pulled out the father-in-law card.

At that moment, in the next hall, Darryl's acupoint had been sealed by the Nine Heaven Emperor. He could only sit there uneasily.
