Sigh.
Darryl took a deep breath and opened his eyes. After a few hours of cultivation, he had fully recovered.
“You are done, Master?” Jewel stood up excitedly.
Darryl was shocked to see the bags under her eyes. He furrowed his brows and asked, “You didn’t sleep the whole night?”
Jewel nodded and said softly, “I realized that you are cultivating for your recovery, so I wanted to stay beside you. If a beast approaches her, then I could chase it away.”
Darryl was touched when he heard that, so he smiled. “Even if a beast were here, you would not be able to defeat it.”
What a silly girl, but her obedience touched his heart.
Jewel blushed when she realized Darryl had teased her. She held her fist tightly and said, “I will be stronger in the future. Then I would be able to protect you, Master.”
Then Jewel remembered something. “The day is still dark, let me get some water for you to freshen up.”
Darryl shook his head and smiled as he stood up. “If s too dangerous here; there may be wild animals, so let’s go together.”
After that, both of them walked toward the woods.
As they walked past the woods, they came to a pond. The water in it was crystal clear.
“There’s water here, Master!” Jewel shouted happily as she rushed forward.
Darryl smiled as he went closer; he drank a few mouths full of water and washed his face. Then he started to look around the area.
They were deep in a valley, and it was surrounded by cliffs that were a few thousand feet high. With Darryl’s capability, he would not be able to jump up, let alone bring Jewel with him. It was impossible for them to fly out there.
Sh*t!
‘We didn’t die from the fall, and yet we’d have to die here?’ Darryl was frustrated as he thought about it.
At that moment, Jewel shouted happily, “Master, there are fishes in the pond. I can grill some fish for your meal. I make the best grilled fish.”
Suddenly, they heard a peal of loud laughter!
Sh*t!
Both of them jumped when they heard that. They looked to the direction where the voice came from and saw a figure approached them.
“The two of you had trespassed into my territory. How rude!”
