Chapter 1157 Rocky&##x27;s Fault

"Currently, the Heavenly Demon Clan has already grown into a force that couldn't be ignored. They
could even be lined up with the Dragon Master Clan, the Phoenix Master Clan, and the Wood Clan.
Moreover, it is rumored that they possess two spiritual treasures while the Wood Clan only gets a half.
They even proposed a very enticing condition. If Her Royal Highness agreed to marry their patriarch,
they would willingly bestow one of their spiritual treasures as a gift for the bride. I'm afraid that more
than forming an alliance, the Wood Clan would be definitely enticed into acquiring that spiritual
treasure. Thus, they may possibly agree with their proposal of marrying Her Royal Highness into the
Heavenly Demon Clan." Laney analyzed every detail.

"But do you really think that she would agree to something like that? Knowing her, I don't think so."
Rocky knew how proud and stubborn Alyssa could be. He could tell that she would turn them down
right at their faces without any hesitation.

"I know that too. However, the real problem is that the Wood Clan is considering it. They're so
desperate to obtain the spiritual treasure of the Heavenly Demon Clan. If the Wood Clan decided and
ordered Her Royal Highness to accept the proposal, do you think that she would still have a say? If
push comes to shove, she might have no other choice but to obey." With her eyes already turning
reddish, Laney paused and looked at Rocky intently. "Basil, I beg of you. Please go to the Timber Deity
Empire right away and get Her Royal Highness out of that place!"

"Hey, calm down. I understand your anxiety, but if she made this move, she would become a traitor to
both the Timber Deity Empire and the Wood Clan. She can't afford to do that." Rocky tried to reason
with logic.

"I also know Her Royal Highness. She would rather do that than become a member of the Heavenly
Demon Clan. In case you don't know, those bastards are more interested in her legendary guardian
beast than herself. I don't think that there would still be a chance for her to come back once sent there.
Her life might even be put to danger!" Laney's chest throbbed hard as she worried about what could



happen to Alyssa. She tried to calm down a little before saying, "Basil, you should know that Her Royal
Highness has a special feeling for you. I strongly believe that at a time like this, you're the one that she
wants to see the most."

Rocky quickly understood what Laney meant. With all honesty, he was indeed worried about the
current situation of Alyssa. She had helped him a lot of times when he was in the Timber Deity Empire.
From then on, he made up his mind that if ever she were on a tight spot, he would not hesitate to give
her a hand. Moreover, he also wanted to take the opportunity to find out more about the Heavenly
Demon Clan and what they had been up to. Thus, considering every factor, he felt the significance of
making a trip to the Timber Deity Empire. No matter what decision Alyssa was going to make, he
needed to see her first.

"All right. I'll go to the capital of the Timber Deity Empire right away. I need to see her first and confirm
whatever she wants to do." Rocky finally made up his mind after thinking for a while.

"Basil, you must bring Her Royal Highness back with you no matter what," Laney pleaded as tears
started to well up in her eyes.

Rocky didn't utter another word and just patted her on the shoulder to somehow calm her down. After a
while, he left the Fragrance House and headed towards the Palace City. As soon as he got to the
palace, he met Isis and the other women and told them what he and Laney talked about. He also told
them his plan about going to the Timber Deity Empire, but the girls' expression instantly changed. None
of them agreed on his seemingly reckless plan.

"Of course not. You can't go." Lena was the first one to express her strong objection. It didn't only
concern Alyssa, but the clans of the spiritual race were also involved again. Previously, Rocky only had
a narrow escape when he went to rescue the emperor within the territory of the Dragon Master Clan. It
hadn't been that long and he was already going to risk his life again.



"That's right. It's too dangerous! We won't let you go!" Sabina and Lucilla also expressed their
disapproval.

"Basil, you have to think this over. This is a very serious matter. You have offended the Dragon Master
Clan before. If you make an enemy out of the Wood Clan this time, even if it's for Alyssa's sake, things
will get more unfavorable for you!" Isis warned him in a serious tone.

"I know all about those risks, but I still have to go. Alyssa helped me a lot when I was previously taken
to the Timber Deity Empire. She even arranged so well that I could return here safely. I owe her a lot.
Now that she needs help, it's just right that I should do something for her." Rocky persuaded them as
he let out a sigh. He walked a little and looked outside at the distant sky.

"But what if she agrees to what they want? Then, you've just wasted your effort on going there." Sabina
didn't want to say it outright, but she didn't have a good impression of Alyssa.

"If she agrees, then I won't interfere. However, if she needs my help, I'll make sure to do my best to
assist her," Rocky answered with a straight face.

The girls looked at each other, shook their heads, and also let out a deep sigh. From what they heard,
they knew that whatever they said would be useless, as Rocky had already made up his mind to see
Alyssa.

"Fine. There's no use arguing with you anyway. All right, you can go, but on one condition… We will
also go with you," Sabina said in a stern voice.

The other girls just nodded and looked at him seriously.

"Well, if you insist," Rocky replied as he lightly scratched his head. He had no other choice but to agree
to their demand. Otherwise, they wouldn't let him leave the Palace City.



However, since Lena still needed to assist the emperor in dealing with the affairs within the Holy
Dragon Empire, she had to stay behind and entrust Rocky to the rest of the girls as they traveled to the
Timber Deity Empire.

About three days later, the group had arrived at their destination.

But before going straight to Alyssa, they went to the Cao mansion first.

As soon as Queenie heard that Rocky and her elder sister paid a visit, she immediately rushed towards
the Magnificent Hall to meet them at once.

"Lucilla, you're back! Oh, how I missed you!" Queenie hurriedly threw herself into Lucilla's arms the
moment she saw her. She was like a spoiled child who met her mother after a long while.

"Come on. You're now the chief of the Cao Clan. Stop acting like a little girl all the time!" Lucilla teased
her younger sister but also held her tightly. It had been quite a while since she last saw her; thus, she
also missed her greatly. Since childhood, they had been really close and she was even a doting sister.

"Hey, you bastard! Did you ever try to make my sister cry? Spit it out and I shall punish you
accordingly!" Queenie waved her fist at Rocky shortly after leaving Lucilla's arms. Her joyous smile was
instantly replaced by squinting eyes and pouting lips as she yelled at Rocky.

"Queenie, don't be rude! You're in front of Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire. Learn to behave
yourself. By the way, let me introduce the others. This is Isis, Prince Crimson's wife, and this is Sabina,
General Marcia's apprentice." Lucilla introduced her companions as she dragged her grumbling sister
away from Rocky.

"Why are you yelling at me? It's only been a year since you went with this bastard, and now you're
already siding with him? I'm your younger sister!" Queenie grumbled a lot while talking to her sister but
still managed to politely bow towards Isis and Sabina.



The two girls couldn't help but burst out laughing upon witnessing the unique side of Queenie.

"It's already been a year since then. However, your temper hasn't changed a bit. How's your Beast
Curing Skill now? Did you make enough progress?" Rocky tried to cut in and ignored her attitude.

"Humph! Just so you know, my Beast Curing Skill should be better than you already. That's not all. I
also learned a lot of new skills from Juey. Even Tate is no match for me now," Queenie declared
proudly while sticking out her chest and holding her waist with both hands.

"Oh, really? That is nice." Rocky said with a gentle smile.

At the same time, while they were still busy talking, Lucas, who had just heard of their arrival, also
rushed into the hall to greet them.

"Miss Lucilla and Miste— I mean Prince Crimson! Why didn't you tell us beforehand that you would be
coming back? Is there something urgent that came up?" Lucas was indeed a sharp man who had
experienced a lot in life. As soon as he learned of their sudden arrival, he instantly knew that there
must be a pressing and important reason behind it.

"Master Lucas! It's nice to meet you again. I'm impressed that you're still good at predicting things."
Rocky also greeted back with a smile.

After they all sat down, Rocky began explaining what their purpose was for suddenly visiting the Timber
Deity Empire.

"I see. I've also heard about the things about Her Royal Highness, but I'm not sure about it. Well, I
guess we have to confirm it with the emperor," Lucas remarked.

"Yeah, I also have the same thought," Rocky said in a serious tone.



"Lucilla, this time, just stay with me and never leave me again! Can you imagine how boring it is to deal
with a lot of different things every day? Then, I also have to continually listen to my master's nagging. I
don't want to be the chief anymore! You should be the one to do it!" Queenie went on to complain and
even attempted to pass the responsibilities to Lucilla.

"You know I can't. Besides, I told you, I'm just here to accompany Basil. Also, you're a better chief than
me. I didn't want to be the chief anymore. I know it's hard for a girl of your age to take on such huge
responsibilities, but trust me, you're the one suited for this." Lucilla put her arm around her sister's
shoulder and consoled her.

While Queenie was being appeased by her sister, she sneakily glared at Rocky. At the back of her
mind, she couldn't stop blaming Rocky. If it wasn't for him, her elder sister didn't have to leave her and
her clan behind. She had set her mind that it was all Rocky's fault. However, Rocky just shrugged his
shoulders and looked back at her with an innocent expression, making Queenie even more
pissed.
