The White Tiger King cast a glance at Cloud Spirit before addressing Darryl in a respectful tone. "Honorable savior! If you don't mind telling me who this is next to you…
It was evident that the lady was one of the Imperial Sky Palace fairies from how she was dressed, and she was someone of status too. Since she came with Darryl, it was best to ask.
Whew…
Seeing the White Tiger King question her identity, Cloud Spirit could not help but take a deep breath as her chest thudded with fear.
At the same time, she stared intently at Darryl, her gaze expectant.
They had come to the Black Swamp to help Empress Heidi find the Ghost Spirit Herb, so there was no way Darryl would not help her out.
However, Darryl pretended as if he had not seen Cloud Spirit's gaze at all. He smiled lightly before saying, "Oh, her. Don't think I know her."
Darryl's expression was calm, but he smirked with satisfaction internally.
'Haha! Didn't Cloud Spirit say she didn't want to have any ties with me on the way here? Well, I'll give you what you want. Let's see how you fare.'
What?
Cloud Spirit trembled as her gaze on Darryl hardened, her expression unreadable.
'Is this old geezer pretending he doesn't know me?'
He had to have done it on purpose.
The White Tiger King nodded. "Oh! Since she doesn't know the Honorable Savior, there's no need for further words. Bring her out to be executed."
As the words rang through the air, a few Demon warriors made their way over. Cloud Spirit was filled with panic.
She scrambled to Darryl, biting her lip and whispering in a low voice, "You have to help me. We came here together…"
The Demon warriors stopped in their path upon hearing her words.
Darryl's expression was the picture of ease as he spoke with the ghost of a smile on his face. "Yes, we came together, but on the way here, you said that we would pretend to have nothing to do with each other. I'm just doing as you asked."
