Chapter 2038

F*ck!

Darryl was taken aback for a moment after he heard Quincy’s statement. He did not know how to react to that.

Then, Darryl finally recovered his senses; he smiled bitterly at Quincy. “Your Highness, how can you blame this on

me? Yang Jian would still conquer the South Cloud World even without me.”

Quincy was very interesting. She blamed Darryl because she hated him.

That was too unreasonable!

Darryl saw the Empress hand the royal jade seal to the eunuch; they were prepared to send it to Yang Jian.

What?

The royal jade seal immediately caught Darryl’s attention. He had not cared to look at it before that. However,

when the eunuch passed by him, he discovered that the royal jade seal was crystal clear, and it gleamed in dazzling

colors.

Oh, f*ck!

Darryl was extremely shocked, but he was also delighted on the inside.

He laughed discreetly.

It looked like the royal jade seal was a Heaven Repairing Stone—the colorful stone that Empress Nuwa used to

patch the sky. Its shape coincided with the concave on the fourth floor of Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower!

“Hold on!”

Darryl stopped the eunuch immediately as he studied the royal jade seal.

Even though he did not hold it in his hand, Darryl could feel the jade seal’s unique spiritual power. Besides that, it

also exuded a sense of chilliness—even the surrounding temperature had dropped a little.

Suddenly, the hundreds of officials in the main hall focused their attention on Darryl; they were all stunned.

‘What is Darryl doing? Does he want to grab the royal jade seal?’

“Darryl!”

Quincy’s expression immediately changed; her eyebrows furrowed as she rebuked coldly, “What are you doing?”

‘Darryl is such a b*stard! The South Cloud World is in danger. He can’t even help us, and now he wants to grab the

South Cloud World Royal’s treasure?’

Like everyone around them, Quincy also believed that Darryl wanted to steal the royal jade seal. Even the Empress

frowned slightly at Darryl.

Darryl did not care about everyone’s gazes. He sighed before he smiled. Then, he said to Quincy, “Your Highness,

don’t be so nervous. Why do you want to give such a good thing to Yang Jian? You might as well give it to me.”

Then, Darryl continued in a relaxed tone, “Since we’ve decided to give up the South Cloud World, let’s just leave.

Why should we give Yang Jian something so good?”

Yang Jian’s ambition was to unify the nine continents. So he would not be attracted to a royal jade seal.

Besides, he urgently needed the royal jade seal; he could open the fourth floor of Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower

with it…

“You—”

Quincy was enraged after she heard that; she stamped her feet furiously. “This is the South Cloud World Royals’

treasure; why should we give it to you?”

The Empress also spoke softly, “Darryl, I understand what you mean. I don’t want to hand the royal jade seal over

to him as well. However, if we simply leave, Yang Jian would vent his anger on the civilians. At least with this royal

jade seal, he would not be so angry, and perhaps we can save more innocent people that way.”

Then, the Empress said in a severe tone, “When I hand this to Yang Jian, I will ask him to treat the South Cloud

World civilians well. Therefore, I am giving him this royal jade seal not to protect my life but to protect the lives of

all South Cloud World civilians. Do you understand?”

Her words, though they sounded soft and weak, had a strong sense of righteousness.

That was right—the Empress would hand the royal jade seal over for the sake of the South Cloud World civilians.

Darryl put away his smile as he looked admiringly at the determined Empress.

He had never expected a woman would be so committed to the country and its civilians. Her heart had gone out to

her country and her people.

She was worthy of her title, indeed.
