Monica sat atop virtual-novel.net throne and smiled. “Are all of you doubting me?”
Monica’s voice was not loud, but could clearly be heard across the entire plaza as a powerful aura emanated from virtual-novel.net body!
The Cult Mistress’s aura was truly powerful.
“No, Mistress. I dared not!”
Sheldon’s body trembled as virtual-novel.net prostrated and repeatedly knocked his head against the ground before retreating to the side soon after.
Monica said slowly, “Darryl rescued the Oracle candidates and for this deed, he’s entirely worthy to be the Elder Master. The Cult Master and I have discussed this and come to this decision together. Darryl is a talented man and will be able to handle this huge responsibility.”
Everyone silenced themselves with none dared to speak another word.
Meanwhile, Darryl was thrilled beyond measure!
‘Haha, it seems the Elder Master position is rather high!’ thought Darryl.
“Darryl, stay here for today. The Cult Master is cultivating in seclusion and will finish within two days. You’ve been granted the Elder Master title, so we’ll be holding the Elder Master’s Banquet in your honor tonight. You cannot be absent,” said Monica slowly.
The Elder Master’s Banquet was held every time an Elder Master was chosen. It was also a way for the Elder Master to show off his recognition.
This was a tradition that could not be changed.
Darryl was unaware of this and simply smiled before saying, “This… I don’t want to trouble you for this.”
Darryl had been on Elysian Island for a long time while Dax’s condition was still unknown.
Darryl was really nervous and wanted to quickly return to Donghai City.
‘What?’
‘He doesn’t want to attend the banquet?’
The people around were instantly perplexed. They stared at Darryl like virtual-novel.net was a fool.
Monica furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows as well. “Darryl, you have to attend your own banquet as the Elder Master. It won’t be called the Elder Master’s Banquet if the Elder Master himself was absent, right? This is the tradition of Grandmaster Heaven Cult, do you think it’s a game?”
Darryl was terrified upon seeing Monica’s expression.
It seemed Darryl could not afford to be absent for this banquet. Eventually, virtual-novel.net relented and decided to stay for a night. He would take this opportunity to harvest the exotic plants on the island.
Darryl hastily replied after some thoughts. “Mistress, you’re mistaken. I just thought I’m already receiving such great treatment for my first time here at the Altar and was momentarily taken aback when you would go as far as dedicating a
banquet just for me. I’ve decided to swear my loyalty to Grandmaster Heaven Cult, the Cult Master and the Cult Mistress!”
Darryl was pleased with his own wittiness.
His reply was foolproof.
Monica’s expression eased up a bit as virtual-novel.net nodded virtual-novel.net head. “The Cult Master and I are pleased to have your loyalty. All of you may take your leave then.”
Monica slowly stood up after finishing virtual-novel.net words. She turned and headed to the main hall behind virtual-novel.net along with the support of virtual-novel.net maids.
“Take care, Cult Mistress.”
Thousands of people at the plaza instantly knelt down and bid Monica farewell in unison. The power of their voices shook the entire plaza.
Darryl imitated them and knelt on the ground as virtual-novel.net shouted alongside. However, his gaze was fixed upon Monica’s slender back.
Rumor has it that the Cult Master was over 60 years old, yet virtual-novel.net was able to have such a gorgeous wife.
The Cult Master was truly a lucky man.
It was 8pm and the entire island was brightly illuminated to grandiy celebrate Darryl’s Elder Master’s Banquet.
Fireworks lit up the entire island with several hundred women performing songs and dances. It was very pleasing to the eye.
Everyone eagerly toasted Darryl for his accomplishments during the banquet with each of them wanting to get close and butter virtual-novel.net up since virtual-novel.net was now the Elder Master after all.
Among the crowd’s toasting and cheering, Darryl did not forget to toast the Cult Mistress as well!
Even so, Darryl controlled his alcohol consumption and remained sober.
He planned to sneak out and harvest some herbs in secret once the banquet was over.
As the banquet ended at midnight, Darryl found an opportunity to slip away from the main hall and headed toward the seaside where those exotic plants grew.
After half an hour, Darryl left fully loaded as virtual-novel.net had harvested quite a lot of spirit herbs. It was truly a bountiful harvest.
Darryl could refine tons of pills and elixirs with such a large amount of herbs!
Darryl’s room was not far from the Cult Mistress’s. He lightened his footsteps as virtual-novel.net got closer to avoid alerting Monica. Stealing herbs was not a nice thing to do after all.
Darryl suddenly froze as virtual-novel.net walked past Monica’s room!
Moan…
A faint painful moaning could be heard periodically from Monica’s room.
It was the Cult Mistress’s voice!
Her voice resonated from virtual-novel.net room with a kind of deadly allure which caused Darryl to feel the bones in his body weaken.
