CHAPTER 917 ONE STEP CLOSER TO URIAH'S RESURRECTION

"It's nothing much. It's just a small request. I want a drop of blood essence from Your Highness's six-

star spiritual beast and one from Moon Fox. Can I have that?" Rocky proposed all of a sudden.

"And what are you going to need them for?" Alyssa asked with doubt.

"Well, it's nothing dangerous." But of course, Rocky was surely not going to let her know that he

intended to use the blood essence to feed the red egg that might bring Uriah back to life.

"If you're not going to tell, then forget it," Alyssa dismissed him outright.

"Come on, I am just going to use them for a little research. That's all." Being quick on his feet, Rocky owns this text.

immediately found an excuse.

"And what is this research all about?" Alyssa narrowed her eyes and gave him a suspicious glance.

"The research about the Beast Curing Skill..." Rocky replied, while avoiding eye contact with her.

"Is that so?" At that moment, Alyssa fixed her eyes on him and continued to stare at him with much

doubt. Deep inside, she sensed that Rocky must be up to something.

Rocky, on the other hand, nodded his head slowly as he faked to be serious about the matter.

"Fine. You can have the spiritual beast's blood essence, but no Moon Fox. Who knows what kind of

bizarre research you've been doing! And besides, I am sure that Moon Fox won't come with you in the

first place," Alyssa answered back after a moment of consideration.

"But how do you know that Moon Fox doesn't want to come with me if you haven't really asked it first?"

Rocky asked as he tried to urge Alyssa into asking Moon Fox firsthand.

"Oh, there's no way I'm going to do that!" Alyssa replied monotonously as she had her apprehensions.

"Okay, fine. Now hand me over your spiritual beast's blood essence." Given that Alyssa won't crack into

his persuasion, Rocky was left with no choice but to compromise.

"Stay here. I'll be back in a moment." Soon after, Alyssa entered the Magic Spiritual Space and soon

walked out with a small bottle in her hand.

"Here, take this. Three drops should be enough for you," Alyssa said as she handed the bottle over to

Rocky.

"Wow, thanks for this! I guess I'll leave then," Rocky said as he took the bottle and left. Meanwhile,

Alyssa's eyes followed Rocky right after he left, wondering what he really wanted to do with the

materials that he asked from her.

Afterwards, she entered the Magic Spiritual Space once more to look for Moon Fox, who at that

moment was lying in a huge lair.

"Moon Fox, did you tell me the truth about everything the last time? You did say that he was the one,

right? Then why do I still have the curse?" Alyssa asked without holding anything back, disappointed to

her core. In fact, she had already cultivated with Rocky for three days, but nothing seemed to happen.

Perhaps, there must be something wrong with what she was doing. Since she wasn't able to directly

know what she was missing, she guessed that Moon Fox must have concealed something on that day

when it told her the prediction. Therefore, she came there to straighten things once and for all.

Slightly raising its body, Moon Fox looked up as if in deep thought. After a while, Moon Fox rolled its

huge ball-like eyes before it glanced at Alyssa and said, "Heaven and Earth... must be connected... Yin

and Yang... must be combined... Body and heart... must be integrated... When love... is as deep as the

sea... Only then... will the curse disappear..."

"Wait, what do you mean by that?" Alyssa asked as she furrowed her brows in confusion.

"You must... love him... And become... his... woman..." Moon Fox struggled with words as it tried to

explain to her.

"What did you just say? You mean, I need to fall in love with him genuinely and have sex with..." At that

moment, Alyssa's eyes were wide open as she was taken aback by what Moon Fox had said.

According to Moon Fox, she must fall in love with Rocky, become his woman, and become physically

intimate with him in order to break the curse.

However, Rocky was the prince of the Holy Dragon Empire and a great enemy of the Timber Deity

Empire. If he were an ordinary man, then she might have given him a second thought and considered

having a relationship with him.

As a matter of fact, there was fierce enmity between the Holy Dragon Empire and the Timber Deity

Empire. As the princess of the latter, she would have to give up everything she currently had, including

her royal identity, and even betray her country, if she was really determined to become Rocky's woman.

In fact, she couldn't even allow herself to have physical intimacy with him, let alone fall in love with him.

Alyssa knew that they could not become lovers, because at one point, they would surely meet each

other on the battlefield.

Plus, falling in love with Rocky would surely disturb the dynamic between the Holy Dragon Empire and

the Timber Deity Empire, or even create devastating and irreparable damage to both empires.

At that moment, Alyssa was in a dilemma as she didn't know what to do. On one hand, she also knew

that she needed to fall in love with Rocky to remove the curse and become a member of the spiritual

race; but on the other hand, she didn't want to strip herself of everything and even double-cross her

own country.

But one thing was for sure at that moment—she wanted more than anything to get rid of the curse. In

fact, she thought she was prepared to do anything just to be free from this curse!

However, never before had she expected the price would be this huge, and that was exactly what put

her in a dilemma.

"It's not just that you need to... fall in love with him... and he needs to... love you as well..." Moon Fox

suddenly added while Alyssa was still having second thoughts. In fact, Moon Fox had already known

about this, so it didn't tell Alyssa the whole truth the last time they talked. It knew that it wouldn't be

easy for Alyssa to fall in love with Rocky and vice versa.

"What? He needs to fall in love with me?" Hearing more of its words, Alyssa was even more stunned. If

this was the condition of breaking the curse, then it would be next to impossible.

"If he can give up his identity as a prince, then perhaps everything will become easier. But, is it really

possible for him to do so?" At that moment, Alyssa thought that the biggest obstacle between them was

their social status. If she didn't want to give up everything that she had, then she needed to persuade

Rocky to do it instead. But knowing Rocky, it was almost impossible for him to give up his identity as a

prince.

"Oh, Moon Fox, what should I do?" Alyssa asked helplessly.

However, Moon Fox didn't reply, because Alyssa had to find the answer by herself.

Meanwhile, in the house of the Cao Clan, Rocky went straight to the big room where he saw Queenie

working on the dead body of a spirit-manipulated beast. Looking energetic and excited, she looked as if

she was playing with a toy— full of curiosity and completely different from her unhappy face the day

before.

Seeing how happy she was, Rocky didn't want to disturb her, so instead, he turned around and left for

the secluded bushes where he opened the Magic Spiritual Space. Soon after, he took out the six-level

spiritual beast's blood essence and fed it to the red egg. After a few moments, the egg turned into a

yellow-ish hue. However, at that moment, Rocky still didn't know what it meant when the egg turned

from red to yellow. All he knew was that he was one step closer to resurrecting his beloved Uriah.
