Just then, the old man burst into laughter and praised, "You have a good eye. You can guess my origin at once. Yes, I'm from the World of Void, and my name is Jade Immortal. Recently, I've been travelling for in the Nine Mainland. When I passed through the Godly Region and saw the bustling energy here. I was curious and decided to come in and have a look. I then knew that the Nine Heaven Emperor was going to marry off his daughter."
Jade Immortal blushed and said shyly, "You two must not know that I have two hobbies in life. One is to cultivate, and the other is to taste the delicacies in the world. I just smelled the fragrance of food here, so I couldn't help myself but..."
At the end of his words, Jade Immortal picked up a piece of cake and put it into his mouth, savoring it very much.
Darryl could not help but want to laugh at the absurdity of this all.
Although Jade Immortal looked old, the things he said were very interesting. It was like a child that was refusing to grow up.
Princess Dorothy was secretly relieved when she sensed the sincerity of Jade Immortal. Since he had also sneaked in, she did not need to worry that her whereabouts being exposed.
"I'm so sorry!" Jade Immortal said in between bites, "I didn't know you two were dating under the table just now. I'm sorry to bother you. Please forgive me!"
As he spoke, he asked curiously, "May I ask, who are you two?"
Darryl smiled and replied, "I'm Darryl. This is Princess Dorothy."
Just like Princess Dorothy, Darryl had also let down his guard by now. After all, Jade Immortal was not from around here and they had no conflict of interest, so there was no need to hide his identity.
Jade Immortal smiled after hearing the introductions and said, "So you are the bride and the groom for the wedding tomorrow." Before entering the Royal Food Palace to steal some delicious food, Jade Immortal had heard some conversations among the maids, so he knew about Darryl and Princess Dorothy.
Jade Immortal teased with a playful twinkle in his eyes, "You two have such a good relationship. The wedding is going to be held tomorrow, but you are dating in secret here, today. Haha…it's true that the couple are the one thing that everyone would be envious about."
As soon as Jade Immortal finished speaking, Princess Dorothy's face turned bright red. She stamped her feet in denial and said, "You…don't talk nonsense. Who would even want to date him?"
She glared at Darryl in her emotional whirlwind of shame and anger.
It was Darryl who got her into this misunderstanding.
