'Oh right!' Immediately, Queenie shuddered as she paused her footsteps. 'I was too reckless. This man looks completely different from my brother-in-law. Plus, we're at Maple Manor, which is under Kendall's governance. Perhaps, Master was right. This man is not Darryl, but instead, someone sent by Kendall.'
Queenie then pursed her lips and asked Darryl, "Tell us honestly, who are you? Why did you impersonate my brother-in-law?"
'F*ck!' Darryl felt helpless about the situation. 'These two are interesting. Why wouldn't they believe me? But Celine and Queenie had been locked up here for a while and have been humiliated by Kendall. It makes sense they'd be cautious.'
Then, his eyes brightened up as he recalled something. He then squinted at Celine and said, "You don't believe that I'm Darryl, right? Fine, I'll tell you something. Back in the New World, before I attended Princess Yvette's martial arts tournament, we met a few interesting fellow cultivators called the Four Dragons and Four Phoenixes. We were at a ruined temple and to save the both of you; I had to pretend to befriend the Four Dragons and Four Phoenixes."
He smiled as he looked at Celine. "That night, you said to me, as long as I become the emperor of anywhere within The Nine Mainland, you'd become my woman. After that, I became the Westrington Emperor, but you didn't fulfill that promise. Do you remember?"
As he spoke, he had a bright smile on his face and he had a teasing look in his eyes. Darryl had not met Celine and Queenie. Since they did not believe his identity, he thought he would take the chance to tease them.
Immediately, Celine's delicate face turned red and she stomped her feet. She said hurriedly, "You… Shut up! When did I say I'd become your woman. That's wishful thinking…"
However, deep down, Celine was shocked. 'Is he really Darryl?'
What Darryl said was only something the two of them would know and no one else. Moreover, the incident was still fresh in Celine's memory. How could she have forgotten about it?
Seeing Celine's timid look, Darryl could not help but laugh and said, "Now what? Do you believe that I'm Darryl now?'
Celine nodded and her face was extremely red. 'I haven't seen Darryl for a year and he's still as idiotic as before.'
