CHAPTER 901 ABSOLUTE CURSE
Rocky waved his hand and the hairpin soon flew into the woman's hand. He then asked, "You are the
princess of the Timber Deity Empire. How could you be threatened by a flower hairpin?" A smile crept
on his face, as his amusement made itself known.
The woman in front of him was Alyssa.
As a matter of fact, before they went back to the Qi Clan, they had made an appointment to meet here
once the matter was over.
"This flower hairpin belonged to my mother. I thought I had lost it." Alyssa rolled her eyes at Rocky and
gently touched the flower hairpin in her hand.
"I took it off when I was healing you," said Rocky, raising his eyebrows.
"You know, I intended to let the Cao Clan win, so you did not need to threaten me with the flower
hairpin..." Alyssa suddenly spoke up, raising her head, as she leveled a fierce glare at Rocky.
"But aren't you on the Qi Clan's side? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have taken it out..." Rocky
was a little surprised by her words since he thought that Alyssa would still take the Qi Clan's side. He
only came up with this plan with that assumption, as he had never expected her to side with the Cao
Clan.
"Why should I tell you? Should I tell you everything I do?" Alyssa reproached.
But Rocky was not discouraged by her temper, and he asked bluntly, "Did you side with the Cao Clan
because of me?"
"Who the hell do you think you are? Why would I do it because of you?" she muttered in a disdainful
voice, frowning sternly at him.
"What do you want from me? I think we'd better be honest with each other. That will be better for both
of us in the long run," Rocky finally asked after a moment of hesitation.
"Then tell me first, how did you get the evil power in your body?" Alyssa frowned at Rocky's question,
but she immediately recovered. In return, she answered with a question of her own.
"I can't tell you that," answered Rocky. The evil power in his body was from the Holy Dragon Bead,
which was a fact that should never be known, especially to the princess of the Timber Deity Empire.
She was not his enemy, but she was by no means his friend.
"Who sealed the power for you? It's not something that an ordinary spirit manipulator can do, and this
sealing technique is also a secret technique of the spirit race," Alyssa probed deeper.
"You should know her. You had a big fight!" Finally, Rocky decided to let some things slip. Anyway, it
would not make any difference to him if Alyssa found out that Marcia was the one who sealed his evil
power. On the other hand, if he didn't say anything, he would never find out what her purpose was!
"Marcia?" Alyssa guessed as her frown deepened even more.
Rocky nodded but did not volunteer any more information.
"It's about her again. No wonder she was acting like that in the mourning hall. She almost killed me for
your death, and it seems to me that you have an unusual relationship! We were fated to meet, but it is
a tragedy that we can never meet on friendly terms. Since the first time I argued with her for the
treasure box, it seems that something has connected me with her, and everything I wanna know about holds © this.
you always leads me back to her. If you hadn't helped her in the first place, I would have taken that
box," Alyssa said lowly, her voice almost a whisper. "So, you know that..." Rocky couldn't help the smile
that curled the sides of his lips.
"There are no such things as coincidence in this world. From that day on, we may have been
connected." Alyssa didn't know what else to say, as it seemed like the relationship between her and
Rocky was predestined. No wonder some clues, which could remove the spell on her, would appear on
Rocky's body too. Maybe that was God's plan, but she didn't realize it before. That was why so many
things had happened.
"Now it's my turn to ask." Of course, Rocky wouldn't let Alyssa go so easily.
He stared at her so fiercely that Alyssa could not do anything else but nod in agreement.
"What is the secret of the Moon Fox? Why did the Heavenly Demon Clan want to take it from you?"
The truth was that Rocky didn't want to ask her this, but he couldn't help his curiosity. Besides, he
already had an inkling of what was going on, which he wanted to confirm whether it was right or wrong.
"As I said, I can't tell you. If you know too much, it will do you no good!" Alyssa shook her head.
"Let me guess. Is it possible that the Moon Fox is the reincarnation of a legendary guardian beast?"
Rocky asked directly when it looked like she would never say the truth.
"How did you know that?" Alyssa gaped at him in astonishment. She didn't expect that Rocky would
guess it correctly.
"It is just as I expected!" He had suspected that there was something special about the Moon Fox, so
he considered the things that were happening in the Myriad Spirit Tomb as well, and all of those led him
to his current assumption. He didn't believe that there was such a thing as a coincidence in the world!
"It does not matter how you found out about it. Even the clan leader and several elders of the Wood
Clan are not sure if the Moon Fox is really the reincarnation of the legendary guardian beast..." Alyssa
confessed since Rocky already knew everything.
"They are not sure? Why?" asked Rocky, puzzled. If the Moon Fox was the reincarnation of the
legendary guardian beast, there was no reason that the spiritual race didn't know about it.
"Because... Once the curse on my body is removed, I will become a real spiritual race member and
become the owner of the Moon Fox. Only then will I know for sure if the Moon Fox is really the
reincarnation of a legendary beast or not..." Alyssa hesitated before answering.
"What's the curse?" Rocky didn't expect that the whole thing was this complicated.
"I can't tell you that... It's my biggest secret! But you have to know..." Alyssa said hesitantly as she still
didn't know if she should tell him everything. If Rocky was the only clue to unlock the curse seal, then
he would find out her secrets sooner or later. However, it was also a risk for her. If he didn't want to
cooperate, then it would be a great disadvantage for her if he knew her secret.
But for some inexplicable reason, Alyssa trusted Rocky, so in the end, she told Rocky her secret,
including her identity that was a combination of human and spiritual race, as well as the curse and seal
on her body.
And now, Rocky knew the reason why Alyssa was so powerful. It turned out to be because of the blood
of the spiritual race.
"But you and Woods are siblings. Why are you so powerful, while he isn't even a spirit manipulator?"
Rocky asked in confusion.
"Humans and the spiritual race are not supposed to get involved from the very beginning, and of
course they shouldn't have babies. Normally, if a human and the spirit race have babies, their children
won't be able to survive in the world. Even if they can survive, they will be cursed forever and unable to
have any power. As a result, although Woods is the son of a human and a spiritual race, he can only
lead an ordinary life because of the curse," Alyssa explained.
