Chapter 919 Deliberate Provocation


    "The invitation is just an excuse. I say what they really want is to see how we will react to this.


    Otherwise, the Qi n wouldn''t have been so stupid as to send it to our Cao n like this," Lucas


    surmised.


    "I agree with you. The Qi n probably wants to provoke us. Therefore, we have to be very careful


    from now on!" Luci nodded, aware of the gravity of the situation.


    "The Qi n will surely try their best to ingratiate themselves with Mr. Rookie. Chief, I think it would be


    better for us to strike first. As for what we talked aboutst time, I don''t know..." Lucas started after


    giving it some thought.

    Remembering their conversation, Luci bit her pink lips with embarrassment. "I gave it a try."


    "You tried it?" Her answer surprised Lucas. She hadn''t mentioned to him she''d decided to go through


    with it.


    Luci went on to tell him that she''d tried to seduce Rocky with the honey trap. However, she left out


    some important details.


    "It seems that it won''t be easy to draw Mr. Rookie over to our side. We have to gain his support first.


    But if we want to win him over, I''m afraid that you''ll have to truly rely on him first..." Lucas surmised.


    "Master Lucas, what do you mean?" Luci did not understand what he meant.


    "I mean, chief, you should make yourself fall in love with him first. Of course, I don''t think it will be


    difficult, for Mr. Rookie is very attractive after all. I think any woman would fall in love with him. I am


    aware that you closed off your heart ten years ago and haven''t opened it to anyone since then. So, it


    won''t be easy for you to fall in love with Mr. Rookie, unless you..." Lucas said shrewdly, his turbid eyes


    gleaming.


    "Let me think about it." His words made her hesitate. She wasn''t certain if she could do it. Sure, it


    wouldn''t be hard to seduce him with her beauty or lure him with her body. But letting go of everything


    and falling in love with him was where she drew the line.


    "Just think about it carefully. By the way, I have a good news to share with you," Lucas said to change


    the conversation.


    "What is your good news?" Luci asked wryly.


    "Mr. Rookie is teaching Queenie the Beast Curing Skill." Lucas heard of it from Queeniest night. Of


    course, he''d also heard all sorts ofints about Rocky.


    "Really? I never expected that Mr. Rookie would be willing to ept Queenie." Knowing Queenie''s


    personality, Luci was almost certain that there was no way Rocky would ept her. This turn of


    events boggled her mind, even though she knew it was for the best.


    "However, Mr. Rookie had made her suffer a lot before he was willing to ept her," Lucas said with a


    grin.


    "Queenie has been spoiled ever since she was a child. It''s high time for someone to push her off her


    pedestal now otherwise she''ll be unbearable in the future. Moreover, she''s lucky to be able to learn the


    Beast Curing Skill from Mr. Rookie himself." Luci''s eyes hardened at the thought of Queenie.


    "If Queenie learns from him, even a little knowledge can be helpful in the development of our n with


    beast curing." Lucas nodded.


    "Yes, but Mr. Rookie said he was only going to stay here for a short while." Luci frowned. She was


    thinking of how to keep Rocky around. His departure would be a significant loss to the Cao n.


    "We''ll have to wait and see. Chief, your birthday ising up soon. ording to tradition, you have to


    throw a party and entertain the chiefs of other ns and members of the royal family... I think it''s time


    you should prepare for it. We can also take this chance to win over some forces and connections that


    will be beneficial to our n." He continued with a sigh.


    "Okay, I will leave it to you." Luci nodded.


    "Then I''ll go and start making arrangements." Lucas turned around and left.


    After the six hours Rocky spent in theb, he came out to add more Positive Fire into the giant round


    furnace.


    At this moment, it was already well into the night outside. There was nothing but silence.


    When it was time, Rocky returned from the Magic Spiritual Space to the big house. He opened the


    furnace''s lid and was immediately struck by a strong smell. The rancid liquid in the furnace had


    The Beast Spiritual Pill which absorbed the nutrients from the rancid liquid was also wrapped in a dark


    redyer and crumpled like leather.


    Rocky poured out a new jar of refining materials and covered the furnace again. This process would


    "It''s strange. Why didn''t that womane here tonight?" Rocky muttered to himself once he done with


    his work, peeking outside the room.


    However, he didn''t stay idle. He practiced as he waited. After a whole night of practice, Alyssa still


    didn''t appear.


    As soon as the time was right, Rocky poured the third jar of refining materials in the furnace.


    No sooner had he finished his work than Queenie hade in.


    "You''ve been here sincest night?" Queenie was alert finding Rocky was already here.


    Rocky nodded.


    "What are you doing?" It didn''t take her any time to notice the circr furnace surrounded by the


    Positive Fire and the smoke constantlying from it.


    "It''s none of your business. From today onwards, you are not allowed to be within three meters of the


    circr furnace. If you failed to keep your promise, I will never teach you anything else." Rocky warned


    solemnly.


    "It''s not like I care. What will you teach me today?" Noticing the furtive look on Rocky''s face, Queenie


    went on.


    "Did I say that I will be teaching you anything? Continue to dismember the body of the spirit-


    manipted beast," Rocky replied with his arms folded across his chest.


    "I have to continue doing that?" When Queenie heard this, her face immediately crumpled. Although


    she was ustomed to bloody scenes like this at that time, it was still difficult for her to ept it on a


    daily basis.


    "Of course. At your current speed, I''m afraid you can''t even cure an ant. If you can dismember a spirit-


    manipted beast in half an hour, I will teach you something new." Rocky baited Queenie.


    "Half an hour?" His oundish request stunned Queenie. Yesterday, it had taken her three to four hours


    to dismember a spiritual beast. She knew it wouldn''t be easy to dismember a corpse of the spirit-


    manipted beast within half an hour.


    "It only took Juey three days to achieve that goal." Rocky deliberately provoked her.
