Chapter 902 Alyssa''s Secrets
"So that''s how it began," Rocky eximed as he finally came to understand the ins and outs of Alyssa''s
problem. But there was still one thing that was bothering him. "How did you and your younger brother
survive when the curse was clearly working against you? How did you escape it? Moreover, look at you
now. You have the power of a spirit maniptor and the spiritual race at the same time, while Woods is
another story, right?"
"There are exceptions in this world, no matter they are humans or of the spiritual race, and I am one of
them. Generally, kids born between the human race and the spiritual race are not supposed to survive.

For a time, the Wood n cooperated with the royal family of our Timber Deity Empire secretly to
cultivate more powerful spirit maniptors. They ordered members of the Wood n to mate with the
royal members, and that gave way to the birth of many babies. However, except for me and Woods,
none of them lived long, as they all died not long after their birth. Because of the failure of these
experiments, the Wood n soon called for its end. Thus, we''re the only survivors. Although I was
cursed when I was born, I was endowed with a half-spirit body. Besides that, I also had a guardian
beast, Moon Fox, who followed me when I came into this world. Because of all these circumstances, I
was able to seed. Since then, I am firmly believed to be a human who has inherited the blood power
from the spiritual race," Alyssa narrated.
"Maybe there are other reasons to exin it," Rocky suggested after a short pause in their
conversation.
"They also thought the same way. The Chief of the Wood n and several elders continued to conduct
studies afterward, and they concluded that it might be because of Moon Fox. After all, Moon Fox is a
reincarnation of a legendary guardian beast, and it may be the reason that I can live in this world and
possess the power of the spiritual race. You know what? As soon as Moon Fox showed up, a seal,
which can break the curse, appeared on my body. Logically speaking, it was impossible, but it indeed
happened," Alyssa continued to exin.
"It''s a really long andplicated story!" Rocky cut in. "Is Woods aware of all these? It seems to me
that he knows nothing about it."
"He doesn''t know. What he knows is that I was sent to the Wood n when I was a child. Both of us
were born in the spiritual race, but he was sent back to Timber Deity Empire while I stayed and grew up
there," Alyssa replied with a slight nod.
"I''m curious. Is there anyone like you who has the power of the spiritual race?" Rocky asked again.
"Yes, there is. As far as I know, there''s a person simr to me, just one," Alyssa ascertained his guess
with a smile.
"Wow! Tell me more about it!" Rocky shouted in excitement. He didn''t expect that there was someone
else besides Alyssa when her very existence was already quite rare.
"Actually, you are quite close to her. It''s Marcia. People never suspected her, because the Witches in
the Holy Dragon Empire can control that kind of power like the spiritual race does. The truth is another
long andplicated story however, which can be traced back to a long time ago..." Alyssa''s words
astonished him. How did he miss something that was this big?
"What? Marcia is the same as you? She has a half-spirit body?" Rocky couldn''t help but ask questions
one after another.
"What do you think? If not, how could she have the ability to seal the evil power in your body?
Especially since it does not belong to humans at all!" Alyssa looked at him with an eyebrow raised that
seemed to call him stupid for not recognizing all these clues.
"However, we''re notpletely the same, as she was not made on purpose. ording to the
information I gathered over the years, she was born because the previous chief of the Dragon Master
n fell in love with a human woman, but she survived like me. She was discovered by the Dragon
Master n when she was a little girl, and they were nning to kill her. After all, her existence
vited the rules of the spiritual race. But what happenedter is beyond my knowledge. Anyway, she
grew up safe and sound. Her mother died not long after she gave birth to Marcia, and her father was
sentenced to live the rest of his life in the forbidden area of the Dragon Master n due to the huge
mistake he had made. She was adopted by the Dragon Master n and grew up there, and she only
returned to Holy Dragon Empire several years ago," Alyssa continued.
"You do know a lot! But this kind of thing should have been kept secret by the Dragon Master n, so
it would have been difficult to find this out. How did you do it?" Rocky asked eagerly, as his whole
attention was focused solely on her.
"Actually, I didn''t know that she existed until I fought against her for the treasure box. Maybe it was
because she and I are of the same kind, so I recognized that something was off about her the moment
that Iid eyes on her. After that, I began to investigate her. And yes, it''s a top-secret in the Dragon
Master n, but there isn''t a wall in this world that could not be breached. Take me as an example.
The people in your country also learned of my background despite the secrecy that surrounded it,"
Alyssa responded indifferently.
"No wonder I feel that you two have simr tempers. It turns out that you two have simr experiences
in your childhood," Rocky murmured as suddenly the simrities that he noticed started to make sense.
Both Alyssa and Marcia were given to capricious moods, and once they were pissed off, they were
merciless to anything or anyone in their way. He had experienced it in both of these women, and now,
he understood why that was so.
"She has her personality and I have mine. Don''t mix us up!" Alyssa contradicted, her face changing
cold.
"Okay, okay. I won''t!" Rocky shrugged with a smile.
"You asked me why I came for you before, right? Now, I''ve told you all of my secrets, and I''m going to
tell you the reason, but you need to promise me that you''ll take my side unconditionally. If not, I''ll kill
you without even batting my eysh. I have to, for the sake of my safety, for you know too much about
me now." As she spoke, her tone suddenly turned more somber aspared to earlier when she just
sounded indifferent. She looked at Rocky coldly, and he could not help but shiver as if her nces
pierced his body. He knew for sure at that moment that she was not joking.
"I don''t have a choice, do I? It''s not up to me now," Rocky replied with a bitter smile. He would not have
asked so much if he knew this beforehand, but then again, he should have expected that she would go
to these lengths just to keep her secrets.
"Smart choice. Okay, let me finish my story. ording to the prophecy of Moon Fox, there is only one
person in this world that can remove the curse on me. I''ve been looking for this person for nearly thirty
years, but I''ve never found any clue." Alyssa''s voice trailed off, as she raised her head and cast a
nce at Rocky before continuing, "Until I met you."
"You mean I''m the one you''re looking for? And I can remove your curse?" Rocky asked immediately.
"I''m not sure yet, but Moon Fox has saved you twice. It told me that you''re the one, and the curse has
given me a strong indication that it is indeed you. Every clue indicates that you have something to do
with it, and even if it''s not you, at least you have some clues that may lead me to it. That''s the reason
why I didn''t kill you and allowed my younger brother to take you back to Timber Deity Empire. However,
I didn''t expect what would take ceter. You created such big trouble for me," Alyssa said as her
eyes darkened briefly.
"No wonder you were so agitated to see me back then, so much that you even took me away in front of
so many people." Now, Rocky finally understood another piece of the puzzle.
"Now, it''s my turn to ask you. You need to be honest," Alyssa said lightly, and hesitation shed across
her face but it disappeared in an instant.
"Well, I will do my best," Rocky answered with a mock bow. However, he frowned inwardly, as he
wondered where she got so many questions to ask.
"After we cultivated together for the first time, I found the power of spiritual soul inside your body, apart
from the evil power and the seal Marcia applied to suppress it. This power controls the evil power which
you''re unable tomand. It''s not Marcia''s though, and I know that she can''t possess such a strong
and pure power. So, tell me honestly. Have you met anyone from the spiritual race, or have you been
saved by them before?" Alyssa continued.
Rocky hesitated for a while, unsure whether to tell the truth.
But in the end, he nodded his head, not meeting her eyes.
