The Ultimate Husband (by Skykissing Wolf) novel Chapter 5921

Hmm…

Darryl fell silent, nodding his head. "You could say that."

Following that, he told Loona a little about the antiques.

Loona fell into a daze listening to him, her respect and admiration for Darryl growing by the second.

The pair continued to talk as they moved along, and soon enough, they had returned to the palace.

Darryl immediately bid farewell to Monna once he arrived, knowing it was time to return to the Nine Continents after having rested enough there.

Monna and Loona were reluctant to say their goodbyes, but they knew Darryl's duties and that he could not stay there.

Upon leaving, Darryl did not fly back. Instead, he took to the journey by foot, admiring the view along the way.

'Oh?'

He reached a mountain crossing and saw a little girl seated in front of it. She was covered in dirt and filth, a broken bowl placed in front of her as she begged.

It was a road few people walked on, and the girl was alone where she was, making for a rather pitiful sight.

Seeing that the girl looked a little like Jewel, Darryl's pity for her only grew as he walked over to ask warmly, "Why are you alone, little girl? Where are your parents?"

Darryl had long been used to death and departure in his years spent wandering the world, but his heart still ached watching children suffer.

The girl seemed to be afraid of strangers, not saying anything and getting to her feet to step backward.

Darryl sighed at the sight before squatting down to ask more.

Suddenly, the girl raised her right hand. A cloud of white powder came raining down on Darryl, and he had no time to react before he was covered in it.

Indeed, the girl was no beggar. She was there to attract Darryl's attention.

F*ck… It was a trap!

Darryl felt the world tilt beneath his feet as he breathed in the powder, cursing to himself. His vision darkened at the corners, and before he knew it, he had blacked out.

It was true that Darryl had a fairy soul, but his powers had yet to completely recover. He was caught off guard, thus falling for the trap.
