CHAPTER 740 I AM ROOKIE

One of the two strong men led Rocky into the Magical Beast House and guided him to a room on the

second floor. Every inch of the room felt luxurious due to all its ornate decor. Behind the expensive

square table sat a man who was furrowing his thin brows and squinting his already small eyes. He

looked shrewd in every sense of the word and was engrossed in what seemed to be an account book.

When the man raised his head and saw them, he immediately locked onto Rocky's filthy clothes that

made him look like a beggar. A frown formed on his face and he asked, "Who's that?"

"Steward Willie, he's..." Rocky didn't hear the rest as the man beside him went closer to Willie Wu and

spoke to him in a low voice.

"Oh, it's Miss Juey again. She takes cats and dogs in, and now a person too. What's more, we even

need to find a job for him. Our Magical Beast House isn't charity hall." Willie clicked his tongue and his

tone alone was all Rocky needed to know that he held no respect for Juey. He glanced at Rocky again

and his thin brows furrowed in disapproval. "It just so happened that a servant working in the beast

farm just quit. You may take over the job," he instructed. He turned back to the man and said

something in his ear.

Afterwards, the man led Rocky out of the room, back down to the first floor, and out to the Magical

Beast House's backyard. It was surprisingly big, a vast area with plenty of houses. People in uniforms

came and went, greeting each other with smiles just like a big family.

They walked westward for a while and passed by a few rows of connected bungalows, all neatly

separated from each other.

The man led Rocky into one of the bungalows and said to him, "You can live here from now on. Stay

here and wait for me." After his instruction, he left without a glance back.

Rocky watched him go before entering the bungalow and checking his new home. The room was small

but had a huge bed piled with several quilts.

'I have to leave. There's no point in staying here, ' Rocky thought to himself. His original plan was just

to sell things and leave without a trace.

Right when Rocky was about to turn and leave, the man appeared with a set of clothes in hand which

he tossed to Rocky. "Follow me."

Even though Rocky wanted to just knock him out and leave, he was in the heart of the Magical Beast

House and he didn't want to cause any trouble, so he followed after him to the beast farm with a tired

sigh. owns this text.

The moment he reached the beast farm, Rocky felt thankful that he hadn't left. Many beast stables for

spirit-manipulated beasts greeted his eyes, the scale of which was equal to the Super Beast Farm and

the beast farm of the headquarters. The most important thing was that most of the spirit-manipulated

beasts here were ones he'd never seen before.

Any idea of leaving was quickly kicked to the curb; it wouldn't do for him to leave until he collected all

the samples from the spirit-manipulated beasts here to help with his research. Moreover, he didn't

actually know what was happening in the Holy Dragon Empire. According to Woods, his betrayal had

spread all over the country already. Since he was now a traitor, it would be troublesome for him to

return to the Holy Dragon Empire so quickly. Because of that, it would be better to stay in the Super

Beast Farm, he decided.

'Did Woods let go of Sabina and the others?' Rocky thought to himself.

"Starting tomorrow, your job is to clean up all the beast stables. Every one of them should be cleaned

and have no smell. It is a taboo to laze around on the job in the Magical Beast House. If you get caught

by Steward Willie, you'd have to pack up your stuff and leave. Understand? Remember to change into

the clothes I gave you. Don't scare our guests by looking like a beggar..." The man rebuked Rocky and

then turned around to leave.

It was already dusk so there was nobody else in the beast farm. Rocky quickly found a place and

changed into the clothes that the man gave him—a long gray and blue robe and a pair of black pants.

Once he was changed, he turned from the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Army to a

servant in a beast house. He couldn't help but sigh at his current situation.

Afterwards, Rocky fetched a bucket of water and washed his face as well as his messy hair until he

finally didn't look like a beggar anymore. However, the stubble on his face made him look a little old,

but his obvious bad mood aged him even more.

'I should find a place first to feed the Dark Heaven Insects and Dark Heaven Cubs. They should be

starving by now.' With that thought in mind, Rocky was about to leave the beast farm.

Just then, a woman went through the entrance of the beast farm. She glanced around as if in search

for something, and her eyes landed on Rocky.

It was the woman who kindly took him in.

She changed into a lavender dress; it was simple and ladylike, yet her figure was still obvious and

made her seem like the beautiful queen of a night club.

By the time Rocky got his head on straight, she had already approached him.

"Miss Juey," Rocky politely greeted.

"Willie told me he assigned you to the beast farm, so I came here to check on you," she said with a

smile and looked Rocky up and down. "Anyway, you don't really feel like a beggar. Why did you look

like that before?"

"It's a long story. Thank you for taking me in, Miss Juey." Rocky bowed to her again. Although it didn't

really make a difference to him if she took him in or not, he still felt obliged to show his gratitude.

"I often take in homeless animals; you're not the first one I took in." She waved off his thanks and

smiled brightly at him.

Rocky was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. 'So she's treating me just like a homeless animal.'

"By the way, I don't know your name yet. What is it?" She peered up at him.

"Miss Juey, you can call me Rookie." Rocky didn't want to tell her his real name, lest it stir up some

trouble.

"Rookie? Why, it's the same name as the dog I took in the day before yesterday! It's also called

Rookie." The girl chuckled to herself.

Sweat broke out on Rocky's forehead as his head pounded. 'What a silly girl she is!' he thought. 'She's

all breast and no brain. She just talks and talks without a thought.'

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not making fun of you. It was just a coincidence," she quickly explained when

she saw the look on Rocky's face.

"Never mind." Rocky shook his head.

"You should work hard and don't slack off! Otherwise, I'd be scolded by Willie. He'd blame me for taking

you in." She made a face and left quickly after.

Once she was out of sight, Rocky disappeared in the blink of an eye.

While Rocky was testing the waters of his new life in a strange place, his grand funeral was being held

in the Imperial City of the Holy Dragon Empire.
