"Your bet is outrageous!"
"You're digging your own grave!"
Suddenly, hundreds of the Artemis Sect Elders aimed their swords at Darryl!
Those Artemis Sect Elders wanted to kill Darryl on the spot! How bold of that brat to challenge the Sect Master!
Darryl was taken aback. He could feel the wrath of those Elders. The lowest ranking among them was at least at the strength of a Level One Martial Saint, not to mention that more than a dozen Elders there possessed the strength of a Martial Emperor!
Darryl was intimidated by all the elites surrounding him. Debra then waved her hand and commanded, "Back off."
Those Elders retreated after hearing the command.
Debra frowned and looked at Darryl momentarily before saying, "As you wish. I'll bet with you."
She did not believe Darryl could complete the poem.
All eyes were on Darryl.
Darryl laughed. "You must be willing to accept the consequences since you have agreed to the bet."
"Of course!" Debra said coldly.
"Very good!"
Darryl clapped his hands and cleared his throat while he got into the mood. He then started swaying his head gently and recited.
"When autumn's breeze encounters a dew of jewels.
"Outruns are numerous earthly affairs.
"I'll continue from here..." Darryl paused before adding.
"If our love is to prevail through time and space.
"Parting for now will be of no consequence."
He thought it was too cumbersome to recite the entire 'The Immortal Magpie Bridge' poem.
Hence, Darryl merely recited the last two most classic lines!
The entire hall fell silent that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard!
Hundreds of people in the hall, including Debra, were quietly savoring the two lines which Darryl produced!
'When autumn's breeze encounters a dew of jewels.
'Outruns are numerous earthly affairs.
