The final word was said in a razor-sharp tone, not leaving any room for retaliation.To Granny Rafflesia, Darryl was also someone on the Heaven Deviation Path.Uhh…Darryl fidgeted awkwardly, about to respond but Moriri cut him off.Just then, Moriri said in a polite tone, "Why are you looking for our Sect Master, Granny?" To her, the Sect Master had always been a lone ranger, and she had never seen him with Granny Rafflesia as well.On top of that, the Heaven Deviation Path had always operated on strict rules and had never gotten into anything with Granny Rafflesia before."Foolish young man."Granny Rafflesia's expression was nothing but arrogant as she spoke in an icy tone. "My affairs are none of your business. Quick, where is your Sect Master?" Moriri let out a breath, realizing that she was not going to play nice. "The Sect Master's very difficult to track down, I don't know where he is either." There was a special communication method that the Heaven Deviation Path used

A few hours later, Granny Rafflesia finally arrived at Gem City with Darryl and Moriri.Gem City was located facing the ocean east of the Keygate Continent, and it was the most luxurious city in the Daim Dynasty aside from the imperial capital.It was nighttime when the three of them reached.All that could be seen was all the lights still switched on in the city, the streets bustling with people lined with tall buildings. However, outside the city were a few hundred thousand troops assembled, giving a murderous aura that was suffocating in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle on the inside.The troops outside were none other than the Gem army led by King Astro.The young emperor had gone missing three days ago when the imperial capital was taken down. It panicked King Astro greatly, so he gathered all his men to get ready to attack Paya's rebel troops, only not attacking because there was still no news of the young emperor.The city borders were lined with soldiers, and ther

The countless red petals spun and twirled through the air, making for a beautiful sight. However, the sight only gave everyone a suffocating sense of dread…In the blink of an eye, the petals had surrounded everyone. All that could be heard was the sound of skin being sliced as many of the Heaven Deviation Path members did not even have the time to cry out in pain before they collapsed in their own blood.The pupils were killed with a single blow, none of them spared.'They're done for…'Moriri closed her eyes hopelessly.Conroy could hardly contain his shock and fury either, his face quivering with emotion.Granny Rafflesia turned to stare Conroy down. "Do what I say and flourish, or go against me and perish. If you have any amount of sense in you, you'd surrender."Conroy's gaze grew bloodshot at one. "The Heaven Deviation Path has never been known to surrender."As he spoke, Conroy drew his long sword as he charged toward Granny Rafflesia at once.At the same time, the surr

Whew!Conroy took a deep breath. "Entering the wedding chamber!"Conroy was beside himself with humiliation as well. After all, Moriri was the Sect Master's favorite pupil, and here she was, being pushed around like a puppet. It was too much for anyone to bear, really. Granny Rafflesia nodded with a smile. "Right, the wedding chamber."As she spoke, she waved her hands for the pupils to send Darryl and Moriri into the wedding chamber at the back."Granny Rafflesia."Just then, Moriri could take it no longer as she roared at Granny Rafflesia, "I'm not going to let you go on this…"Oh?Granny Rafflesia frowned before letting out a cold smirk. "Foolish young lady. I've just done you a great favor, only for you to send curses instead of thanks my way.""You don't want to be his wife? Well, I'll make sure exactly that happens."As the final word rang through the air, Granny Rafflesia strode over to pry open Moriri's jaw. She took out a pill and popped it into Moriri's mouth.Gul

F*cking hell…The sight made Darryl stop short at once.All that could be seen was Moriri collapsed on the ground, her face unbearably flushed as she trembled. A strange heat seemed to radiate off her skin, one that even Darryl could feel despite being a considerable distance from her.Her brows were creased in agony.Had she been poisoned?Darryl's mind raced at the sight, and guessed at once that it had something to do with the pill that Granny Rafflesia had just force-fed her.Yet, upon second thought, this did not seem right…Darryl hurried over at once. "Are… are you alright?""I…"Moriri bit her lip, holding back her pain to say in a low voice, "It… it hurts, I feel like I'm on fire…" She could clearly feel as if there was an actual flame in her body.Crap. It was not poison that she had taken. It was a love potion.Darryl frowned at the words, understanding immediately as he cursed Granny Rafflesia in his mind. It was bad enough that she had forcefully wedded them, an
