The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 57

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 57 – “Don’t freak out, Beautiful. Don’t worry; it’s not poison. It’s Weak Bones Elixir. It will only weaken you.” The bearded man smiled menacingly.

Megan was struck in a stupor, and she was at a loss for words.

‘Weak Bones Elixir?’

‘What a mess!’

Darryl scowled. The bearded man must have been a mental patient who had just escaped the mental hospital and talked gibberish.

“Hey, brat! Did you f*cking follow me? What the h**l do you want? I sell vases, and you paid for

them. Why did you follow me?fI The bald man and his group gathered around Darryl and asked him fiercely.

“I was the only one who thought that your vase was valuable. Don’t you want to thank me for that?” Darryl pretended to sigh before he walked closer to them step by step.

Darryl was a little nervous. He learned Wing Chun Kung Fu from a Wing Chun master for a year before, but Darryl was not sure about sparring against so many people.

Therefore, Darryl needed to find a way to get the other party to let down their guard.

“Thank you?” Sure enough, the bald man was dumbfounded when he heard that.

At the same time, the other people who approached Darryl also stopped d**d in their tracks.

Darryl rejoiced. He walked toward them slowly and began to make up nonsense. f l The vase you had was a counterfeit. If it wasn’t for me, could you have possibly sold it?”

‘Counterfeit?’

The bald man was shocked to hear that. Instinctively, he reached up to scratch his head.

Without warning, Darryl charged forward.

*Wham*

The bald man was caught off guard, and Darryl smashed his face.

He was sent sprawling onto the ground. Darryl wasted no time; he turned around and charged toward the others.

“F**k! K**l him!” The bearded man was startled and angry as shouted frantically to his group members. He did not expect Darryl to be so fast and precise with his shots. Each of his punches landed square and hard on his opponent. Within half a minute, almost a dozen men were on the ground.

“You… Who are you?” The bearded man was panicked when he was the only one left; he stammered as he looked blankly at Darryl.

Darryl answered with a faint smile, “I’m the antique appraiser from Pearl Pavilion.”

Darryl kicked the bearded man, and the man flew a few meters away. He passed out when his body landed on the ground.

Megan stared blankly at Darryl; she was so perplexed that she even forgot to blink

“You—”

Megan opened her mouth to say something, but her body had weakened under the influence of the Weak Bones Elixir. She had no strength to control her body; it was even hard to speak

“Can you walk?” Darryl knelt and untied the rope on Megan.

Megan shook her head; she was embarrassed.

‘What the h**l is that Weak Bones Elixir? Why is it so strong?’

Darryl furrowed his brows when he noticed that Megan was in bad shape.

“Let me see if there is an antidote on them.” Darryl turned around and started to search.

However, there was no sign of an antidote except for some personal belongings.

‘Oh? What’s that?’

Darryl caught a glimpse of a dark thing by the side of the tomb, which the bearded man had opened.

Darryl went to take a closer look at the black box.

The quaint looking box was dilapidated. There were carved flowers on it, but the designs were frayed and tattered from years of neglect.

The box was in the pit, so it was out of Megan’s sight. Darryl opened it curiously.

Darryl was stunned to see the content.

Inside the box, there were two yellowed ancient books. One was ‘The Geomancy of Yin and Yang,’ and the other was the ‘Infinite Elixir’.

‘What the h**l? From the books’ title, one is about the geomancy of Feng Shui, and another one is about alchemy. Didn’t all ancient people like alchemy?’ Darryl thought as he flipped through ‘ The Geomancy of Yin and Yang’.

As the name suggested, the book was all about Feng Shui. Modern days people were superstitious, and they trusted in Feng Shui principles when they wanted to choose a good house. Therefore, some Feng Shui masters could make a lot of money. The book was meant to teach one about Feng Shui.

As he flipped through the pages, a row of small prints greeted his eyes. “Feng Shui has a long history. It was also known as the Art of Qing Nang (the technique of Eng Nang is divided into Yin and Yang. Yin Feng Shui: B****l of the d**d must be done according to the elements of light and water, good flow of wind will gather auspicious, and the flow of terrain to capture water…”

Darryl read it aloud in a low voice. At first, he thought that it was somewhat unintelligible, but when he dissected the phrases carefully, it was not that hard to understand at all.

It was interesting, so Darryl continued to read.

The first half of ‘The Geomancy of Yin and Yang’ was all about Yin Feng Shui, the b****l plot for the deceased. The influence of Feng Shui principles in the careful selection of the land and the cemetery layout was described in the book.
