CHAPTER 773 UNWILLING TO ADMIT DEFEAT

When Queenie spoke, she had already taken the dagger away from Juey's face. She did not show it,

but she did not really want to hurt Juey. She just wanted to frighten her and give the members of the

Xiao Clan a little lesson. What she didn't expect was that there would be someone who would suddenly

step in her way. This caught her off guard and ruined her plan.

"I'm just a servant from the Magical Beast House," Rocky said calmly.

At this moment, every Xiao Clan member looked at Rocky with shock. No one expected that he would

say the origin of the tendon. Mary was taken aback as well. She let out a small gasp upon hearing

Rocky's words. Rocky had surprisingly passed the disciples recruitment interview and even

embarrassed her in public. Ever since that happened, she held a grudge against him. Of course, she

wanted to take her revenge. She wanted to find an opportunity and teach Rocky a lesson. However,

now that he was able to answer Queenie's question correctly and even saved Juey, she had mixed

feelings. However, it didn't change the fact that she hated Rocky.

Raef, on the other hand, had never seen Rocky before. He stared at him strangely. His eyes wandered

Rocky's presence from head to toe. His brows were furrowed as if he was thinking of something. There

were two reasons for Raef's confusion. First, he wondered how Rocky had known that the tendon

came from the Heavenly Wing Fish. Second, he felt as though Rocky wasn't a servant at all. Indeed, he

claimed to be a servant, but he was very calm and relaxed among their presence. Raef then wondered

about Rocky's background and what his purpose was for coming to the Magical Beast House.

"A servant? How could a servant know about the Heavenly Wing Fish?" Queenie said in a tone which

clearly sounded doubtful. She obviously didn't believe that Rocky was just a servant and thought he

was lying.

Lucas' shrewd and turbid eyes also started to examine Rocky. With his cultivation base, he could

naturally perceive some hidden strength from Rocky, but he didn't say it out loud and expose it to the

public. He kept his calm, but he couldn't stop his eyes from flashing with interest as he stared at Rocky.

"I've seen it on a book," replied Rocky indifferently.

"A book? So you didn't actually know it, but guessed it right. I knew it." Queenie was a little surprised,

but soon she laughed with contempt.

"Actually, I also have something that came from a spirit-manipulated beast. Can you guess which beast

it came from, Miss Queenie?" Rocky smiled cockily and looked at Queenie intently.

"You want to test me? Humph! You're getting ahead of yourself!" Queenie said with a look of arrogance

and disdain on her face. Rocky's confidence offended her and she couldn't take it. She and her master

had traveled on the Wild Spirit Land for more than half a year and she had seen countless spirit-

manipulated beasts, while Rocky was only a servant in the Magical Beast House. How could he win in

the race? She was very confident this was a sure win for her.

"I'm relieved to hear your confidence, Miss Queenie. But if you won't be able to guess it right, you have

to leave this place right away. Also, you are not allowed to make trouble for Miss Juey anymore. As for

others, you can do whatever you want to them," Rocky said in a serious tone. It was clear from his

eyes that he was determined.

After hearing that, everyone from the Xiao Clan realized that Rocky was trying to protect Juey. They

could not help but assume that there might be an affair between the two of them.

"Well, I see. Do you like Juey? Is that why you want to stand up for her? Are you hoping this is a story

where a hero such as yourself would save a beauty? But who do you think you are? Nevertheless I will

give you the chance to prove yourself. But if I guess it correctly, your life is mine." Queenie was and

had always been a bully all her life. Because of this, no one dared cross her path and act arrogant in

front of her. So naturally when Rocky provoked her, she wanted to show him who was boss.

"Rookie, please don't..." Juey also realized that Rocky wanted to protect her. But when she heard what

Queenie's end of the deal was, she couldn't let Rocky get hurt because of her. She quickly shook her

head. She didn't want him to risk his life for her.

When the members of the Xiao Clan heard Queenie's words, they couldn't help but discuss in a low

voice. They asked one another whether what they heard was accurate. Several were nodding to

confirm and they all turned to look at Rocky. They thought he must only be pretending to be so

confident and that he would immediately step back after hearing what Queenie said.

But Rocky just cast a glance at Juey and his eyes were still as cold as before. Then, to their surprise,

he nodded at Queenie and said, "I hope you will keep your word."

His agreement also shocked Queenie, but she wasn't going to let him trample her pride. "How dare you

say yes! Fine! Your life will be mine, and I won't let you die easily. I'll take you back and torture you to

death!" Seeing that Rocky was indifferent to her threats, Queenie had a strange feeling. But she

immediately gnashed her teeth and fiercely exposed her cruel nature, intimidating everyone but Rocky.

The members of the Xiao Clan could not help but clamor, and the faces of Raef, Mary and Travis were

a little pale. They looked at one another in fear and humiliation because they did not have the courage

to save their own family, while an outsider was so calm and courageous to do so. This made them feel

ashamed, and at the same time, they hated Rocky for being too nosy.

Rocky then took out a small strand of silver fur, placed it in front of Queenie and said, "You can take a

guess now, Miss Queenie."

Seeing the fur on Rocky's hand, Queenie became serious at once. She touched it with her hand, it felt

good, and then smelled it with her nose, but she didn't smell anything special. After thinking for a while,

she seemed to be unable to tell which kind of spirit-manipulated beast it was from. To be exact, it was

because she had many spirit-manipulated beasts in mind which had silver fur. Actually, she had already

made several choices in her mind, but it was inevitable that she would hesitate, because she didn't

want to lose out to Rocky.

In Queenie's opinion, Rocky was just an ordinary person, so she guessed that the fur must belong to

some waste spirit-manipulated beast. She then boldly said, "It must belong to the Lion-headed Silver

Dog."

"I'm sorry, but you are wrong." Rocky shook his head as he heard Queenie's response and gave her a

smile.

"What? I must be right. You can't lie to me," Queenie said confidently.

"If you don't believe me, then ask your master." Rocky turned to look at Lucas. He noticed the subtle

look on Lucas' face when he took out the silver fur, so he knew that Lucas must be able to tell which

spirit-manipulated beast the fur came from.

"Queenie, he's right. This is not the fur of the Lion-headed Silver Dog, but from a rare beast: the owns this text.

Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf. This Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf was born from a spiritual beast and a war beast, and it

has inherited the bloodlines of both the beasts and has a very high talent. Its fur is soft, tenacious and

would become thorns as long as it meets ice. Just like this!" Lucas said as he glanced at Queenie. At

the same time, with a wave of his hand, an icy spiritual power brushed the silver fur on Rocky's hand,

which turned into an ice thorn in an instant.

Everyone watching let out a gasp. They weren't expecting Rocky to win. When Queenie saw what

happened, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide, showing her surprise. At the same time, she

glared at Rocky with some hatred, because she knew that since she guessed wrong, it meant that she

lost out.
