Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master

Chapter 123 A Nationwide Announcement

Though he was only able to peep at her profile, Rocky was captivated by the amazing smile of the girl

in front of him. Looking at her adorable smile, he was fascinated as if staring at the starry sky. Having

been networking in a wheeling-and-dealing Palace City for such a long time, it was the first time that he

got to see such a heartfelt smile. She looked purely happy. There was innocence in that smile which

reminded him of a new-born baby.

A pair of special upturned eyes, perfectly matched her gracefully crafted face. Her skin was pretty

tanned yet she looked gorgeous.

Rocky guessed that she was in her early twenties - the prime of her life. As a beautiful young girl, her

existence in this remote place was like a precious treasure of its kind.

'Who is she?' Bewitched by her charm, Rocky could not stop wondering.

Roar! Uriah too seemed to be as fascinated by her as its master. It got too excited and growled.

If Uriah had not made that reckless growl, Rocky might have been able to continue enjoying the

beautiful moment. But now, the whole thing was disturbed.

The beauty saw a man and a spirit-manipulated beast outside the beast stall. Both of them - the man

and the beast - were staring at her. She could feel that they were watching her with great interest. She

felt quite upset by the way they were checking on her. Thus, she could not help looking down.

"Ah..." The beautiful girl screamed in consternation. She reached out to a red mantle that was hanging

beside her and swung her body so that it would be wrapped by the mantle instantly.

The war dragon beside her also roared as she screamed. It looked ferociously at Rocky, but it was

reined in by the beauty and got down on his stomach.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The beauty wrapped the mantle closely to her body and queried

Rocky, who stood outside the beast stall. Rage flushed over her pretty eyes. Instantly, Rocky could feel

that she was a powerful spirit manipulator.

"She must be at least above the fifth level of the Earthly Stage." Rocky judged her cultivation base by

sensing the spiritual power. He could not stop being surprised at the power she possessed, though she

was so young.

"Me? Oh, I'm just a rookie. I was looking for someone who works in this beast stall... I did not intend to

stare at you. I just walked in accidentally!" Rocky felt that the beautiful girl might mistake him as a

peeping Tom, so he explained himself to her.

"You have to forget whatever you saw. Otherwise..." The beauty threatened. She looked dignified as

she warned Rocky. But Rocky had met outstanding women earlier like Marcia and Mia. He had the

experience of working with them. He had got a lot of deadly threats from Marcia and endured daily

torturous training session with Mia. Having been quite familiar with their awe-inspiring orders and

warnings, he was quite undisturbed by the beauty's warning.

"OK," Rocky responded indifferently.

Probably it was Rocky's undisturbed response that silenced the beauty. She had not expected such a

calm reply to her warning. So she did not say anything and clapped for her war dragon. Having in a

quick peep at Rocky, she disappeared from the other end of the beast stall.

Rocky curled his lips in surprise. He looked at the dark green war dragon and wondered how there was

such a war dragon in this small military camp. Because this one was a scarce spirit-manipulated beast,

even in the Palace City, he could only see a few of its kind.

However, only spirit manipulators above the level of Heavenly Stage could control this war dragon. So

he knew that there must be masters above the Heavenly Stage in this small military camp.

But what Rocky cared the most was the beauty. Since she was in the military camp, and was so

friendly with the war dragon. One possibility due to which she was able to get along with it was that she

was the master of the war dragon. If not that, at least she must have been the close friend of the

master of the war dragon. Or maybe she was the daughter of the master of the war dragon.

In order to drive away his boredom, Rocky tried to analyze and infer her background casually.

Suddenly, an old man's voice came from his back, "Why are you standing here? No one is allowed to

come close to this beast stable."

Rocky looked back and there stood an old man behind him. He was about fifty years old with a

hunchback and hair graying at the temples. His face was all crinkled but shrewd in a strange manner.

"Sorry. I did not know that." Rocky apologized.

"Didn't you see anything?" The old man queried seriously.

"No, I did not." Rocky thought the old man's serious face was quite weird. As he had been already

warned by the beauty earlier, he thought it was better to pretend that he had no idea about it. He did

not want to get into any trouble.

"Hmm! Then it's fine." The old man seemed to be relieved to hear Rocky's answer.

"You must be a greenhorn here. But remember now! No one is allowed to get near this beast stable,

not even a step closer. Otherwise, you will be in great trouble. Understand?" The old man warned him.

Rocky nodded his head in agreement. Once the old man was calm, he pointed towards the dark green

war dragon that was sitting on the ground. He asked, "Whose war dragon is this?"

"This is not something you need to worry about. You'd better behave yourself while you are here. And

be careful about what you ask. Now tell me what you are doing here?" The old man questioned.

"I am looking for something to feed my war beast," Rocky responded.

The old man looked at Uriah as it stood beside Rocky, and then eyed Rocky. He was stunned for a

moment. His lips quivered a little. It looked like he wanted to say something but chose to keep silence.

He began to walk away.

Rocky led Uriah and both of them followed the old man.

The old man guided them to a feeding trough which was filled with a mix of vegetables and meat.

"Go!" Rocky tapped slightly on Uriah's head.

Uriah did not hesitate to scurry to the feeding trough and wolfed down the food.

"If you want to foster your war beast in here, you need to apply to Master Li for a beast stable. The

foster fee will be deducted from your military pension," The old man explained.

"No! But thank you for the suggestion. It has always lived with me and will do so here too." Rocky Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

shook his head as he declined the offer.

"That's rare. Only a few spirit manipulators prefer to live with their spirit-manipulated beasts. You are

quite special," the old man said.

Rocky just nodded in politeness but did not say anything. When Uriah finished eating, Rocky thanked

the old man and left with Uriah.

Seeing the back of the young man and the beast while they were leaving together, the old man

murmured to himself in amazement, "This war beast has reached the second grade of the three-star

level. How can this weak young man own it? As time passes, he will not be able to control it. It is really

weird."

By the time Rocky and Uriah arrived at the room, Thor and Joss came in. They asked Rocky to join

them for the drill. In the military camp, when there was no assignments for spirit manipulators, they

usually spent their time drilling.

But Rocky preferred to cultivate alone. He did not want other people to have an idea about the true

power he was hiding. He gently rejected their offer and saw them off. He went back to the room to

cultivate by himself.

Two days after Rocky was sent into exile to the Gehenna Border, the emperor of the Holy Dragon

Empire made a nationwide announcement about Rocky. The announcement stated that Rocky was

injured during cultivation and needed to recuperate indoors for a certain time. His marriage with the

Ximen Clan was indefinitely postponed at that point. There was an uproar among the people of the

Holy Dragon Empire upon the announcement.

Rocky had recovered his title as the prince not long ago. He became the star of the future for the Holy

Dragon Empire. How was it possible that he got injured during cultivation? How could they indefinitely

postpone the marriage alliance with the Ximen Clan?
