Chapter 1141 Not Too Late

The businessman in the blue robe, in particular, was shivering all over because he had just ridiculed
Rocky, Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire, in public. Insulting a royal member was a serious
crime, and he could be beheaded for this.

Needless to say, the most embarrassed among the lot was the young man who had tried to pick on
Rocky. He was still in the shock, unable to believe that he had offended such a mighty figure in the
empire, in front of whom even his father had to kneel down. He swiftly crawled over to Rocky and
begged for mercy. "Your Royal Highness, please forgive me! I failed to recognize you and I deserve
punishment. But please, spare my life, Your Royal Highness!"

Ignoring his pleas, Rocky walked towards Mia and said, "Please, get up. You don't need to do this."

Mia raised her head slowly. When Rocky nodded to her with a smile, she stood up, but the other
businessmen were still kneeling down on the floor with their foreheads touching the floor. Their hands
were visibly shivering in fear. Rocky continued to ignore them.

"Why didn't you tell the butler who you were? I wouldn't have made you wait here in this living room if I
had known it was you," Mia grumbled. If Rocky had informed her sooner, he wouldn't have had to
endure such offense from the businessmen, which now annoyed her even more.

"Well, I wasn't in a hurry. Besides, you seem to have a lot of guests." Rocky shrugged with a
mischievous chuckle.

"They are not my guests," she said, looking at the men groveling on the floor. She turned back to
Rocky. "What brought you all the way here? Is there anything I can do for you?" she asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm only here to express my appreciation. You did a huge favor for me," Rocky said with a smile.



"Favor?" Mia was confused at first, but then understood what he was talking about. Shaking her head,
she continued, "That's very kind of you, but I only did what I had to do."

"I have to admit that you made things much easier for me. Here, I brought you a small gift," he said as
he took out a box and handed it to Mia.

She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't refuse. Accepting the gift, she opened it. With a loud gasp,
she stared at the three medium grade Dark Heaven Eggs. Rocky had given her something very
precious in such a small box; it was absolutely outrageous.

The wealthy businessmen, who were still on their knees, gaped in stunned silence at Rocky's
generosity. Medium grade Dark Heaven Eggs were rare treasures, nearly impossible to find in the Wild
Spirit Land. Enormously rich people would grab their chance at buying one even at high prices. But
here was this man, presenting Mia with three of them as a "small gift". That "small gift" could buy three
entire cities! Even the richest man among them couldn't compete with him.

Mia closed the box and pushed it back to Rocky. "This is too precious! I cannot possibly accept this,"
she said, shaking her head side to side.

"Keep it. It's not such a big deal. Honestly, I wanted to give you a couple of spiritual crystals, but I
already gave them all to Shirley. I'll give some to you when they are next available," he said lightly,
refusing to take the gift back.

He didn't realize the weight of his casual words because he did not notice the look of utter shock in the
faces of the people in the room, including Mia. On top of giving her three medium grade Dark Heaven
Eggs, he also wished to give her spiritual crystals. It sounded as if priceless treasures were growing in
his backyard, and he could just go and pluck them whenever he wished.

They didn't believe that Rocky was sincere about the offer, but he indeed was.



"May I have a word with you in private? Please follow me." Seeing the expressions of those wealthy
businessmen, Mia knew that Rocky had successfully managed to put them in their place.

She guided him in and soon, Rocky found himself inside a finely decorated room which Mia used to
receive distinguished guests. She made tea to treat him after they sat down to talk.

"Did you come all this way just to give me this gift? Or is there anything else I can do for you?" She was
smart enough to know that Rocky had something on his mind.

"Yes, I'm here to ask for your cooperation," Rocky said, taking a sip of the tea.

"Cooperation? For what?" Mia sat up straight; her curiosity was aroused.

"Have you heard of the Xiao's beast hospital in the Timber Deity Empire? It's been the hot topic in
recent times," Rocky asked. He put the cup down and looked at Mia.

"Yeah, of course!" Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she spoke. "Ever since its establishment, it
has monopolized the medical industry for the spirit-manipulated beasts. The Xiao's beast hospital was
initially a beast farm in the Timber Deity Empire, reputed and was operated at a medium-scale. I don't
know when and how it turned into a beast hospital. Even the royal family of the Timber Deity Empire
recommends it with high praises. Many large-scale beast farms all over the world tried to copy their
success, but to no avail. The treatment techniques which the hospital has adopted are unique and
complex. No one so far has managed to master it other than them." It was clear that Mia was
fascinated by the subject. She had so much knowledge about the hospital. Rocky smiled in satisfaction;
she was the one he had been looking for!

"I didn't think you would know so much about this," Rocky said in a surprised tone.

"Ah, I planned to follow suit, and tried to learn more about them. Their most successful technique for
treatment is the Beast Curing Skill. They call it "surgery". It's amazing. Apparently, they can cure even



sick beasts that cannot be saved using traditional skills," Mia explained with a fascinated gleam in her
eyes.

"Since you already know so much, I'll make this short. I plan to establish a large-scale beast hospital in
the Holy Dragon Empire," Rocky stated candidly, taking another sip of the tea.

"You have got to be joking!" she cried out in surprise. Rocking didn't budge. Seeing that he was
serious, she sighed, "It's pretty easy to set up beast hospitals here, but where will you find such
talented beast curers? You should drop the idea."

"Is there a Super Beast Farm you're familiar with in the Cloud City?" Rocky asked out of nowhere.

"Of course. Why?" Mia raised her eyebrow at him, puzzled.

"Hmm. You will know when we get there," he said with a mysterious smile.

Despite her confusion, Mia left with Rocky and headed to the Super Beast Farm's branch in the city.

When they reached the farm, the person in charge rushed over to greet them.

"Miss Mia! What can I do for you?" He sounded a little surprised to see Mia at the farm without notice.

Mia said nothing, but turned to Rocky instead.

He looked around and asked, "Are there any spirit-manipulated beasts here that you are unable to
cure?"

The person in charge stole a glance at Mia, who gave him a nod. He answered respectfully, "Yes, there
is one. The beast was brought here the other day, and the illness is deeply rooted in its system. Our
beast curers are feeling helpless. It's a headache for us to watch it die."



"Hmm..." Rocky nodded. Then, he turned to Mia. "Get us a room. Bring in that sick spirit-manipulated
beast, and assemble the beast curers of this farm."

Mia gestured to the person in charge to follow the orders. He bowed and left in a hurry.

"Are you going to cure the beast?" she asked.

"Be patient. You should witness it with your own eyes," Rocky replied.

A few minutes later, the person in charge came out and led Rocky and Mia to the assigned room. The
badly sick spirit-manipulated beast had been placed on an operating table in the center. It lay there still,
without making a sound. If not for the heaving of its breast, Mia would have deemed it dead.

Soon after, eight beast curers gathered in the room.

"Is there anyone here who can suggest a treatment for this beast? Or do you all believe that there is
nothing to do except wait for it to die?" Rocky asked the beast curers.

"Sir, we've done everything we can. It's too late," Yuri, the famous and the oldest beast curer in the
farm replied with a shake of his head.

Rocky smiled. "This spirit-manipulated beast isn't as ill as you think, and it's not too late to save it," he
said with certainty after quickly inspecting the sick beast on the table.
