Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 907 Be My Friend
Meanwhile, night fell, and Rocky had almost finished dictating the whole plan to Juey while she wrote it down.
"Did you understand? Is everything clear?" Rocky asked as he fixed his eyes on Juey.
"Yes. But I'm afraid that I can't carry out this complex plan with my current state. You, on the other hand, can carry it out easily,” Juey responded as she doubted her abilities. Meanwhile, Juey was surprised by Rocky's plan. In fact, she had always thought that ordinary people could not even begin to devise such an elaborate plan. But when it came to Rocky, she never even doubted that he was able to construct a huge plan with ease.
"I just want you to know that I cannot stay in the Timber Deity Empire for too long. If it weren't for some particular reasons, then I might have already left this place. That's why you are here today. I am training you with the hopes of helping me with the things that I can't do once I leave the Timber Deity Empire,” Rocky said in a straightforward manner.
"I am willing to do anything for you no matter how difficult things get as long as you believe and trust in me. Mr. Rookie, I will do anything. But the only thing I don't ever want to do is... to let you go,” Juey said in a melancholic tone. Although she had not spent that much time with Rocky, she had already begun to be reliant on him in some way. At that moment, all she knew was that she didn't want to leave him, even though she knew that one day, he would leave her.
"Don't worry. Just do what you need to do, and I will meet you again one day," Rocky replied smoothly. In fact, giving her that kind of assurance made Juey feel a sense of relief.
"Take good care of yourself, okay? I'm leaving tomorrow, and I won't come and say my goodbyes personally. I'm worried that I'll..." Just when Juey was about to say something more, her eyes started to well up with tears. But somehow, she managed to hold them back in the end. After all, saying goodbye was never an easy thing to bear for anyone.
"You don't have to worry about me. I'll be okay. When you return to the Xiao Mansion, you are no longer the innocent Juey you once were. After all, you are now the chief of the Xiao Clan, so you know what you should do. I'll send you a message once I leave the Timber Deity Empire. If ever you encounter any trouble, go to the Cao Mansion or ask Woods for help. I'm sure that they will assist you," Rocky said after giving her a slight smile.
"Wait, His Royal Highness? Why would he help a nobody like me?" At that moment, confusion ran Juey's mind. In fact, it would probably make more sense if she asked the Cao Clan for help. Of all people, how could she ask Woods for help? After all, Woods was not someone who would help anyone that easily.
"I would appreciate it if you won't ask any more questions. Just do as I say.” Rocky gave her a mysterious smile and continued, "I think it's getting late. You should leave now. Just keep this and stick to the plan.”
Nodding her head, Juey took the plan with her and left the room.
Meanwhile, a servant girl came into the room as soon as Juey left.
"Mr. Rookie, our chief is inviting you to come to her place,” the servant girl announced respectfully after entering the room.
Soon after, she led Rocky to a wing house that was so huge, it was approximately three times larger and more elegant than the ordinary wing houses around.
Although Rocky did not go to that area very often, he could only guess that this was no other than Lucilla's residence.
Rocky entered the house and realized that it was decorated just like the place he lived in when he was in the Palace City of the Holy Dragon Empire. Luxurious and grand, the place was surrounded by layers of gauze curtains that made it look like a mystifying palace.
After walking past three huge gauze curtains, he found a square-looking living room and went in it. There, pillars stood on the four corners of the room. On the corner, candle lights flickered, while on the center was a square copper table with an expensive bottle of wine and appetizing delicacies served on it.
"Please have a seat, Mr. Rookie. Kindly wait for the chief. She will arrive soon." After asking Rocky to sit down and get comfortable, the servant girl left the living room.
Meanwhile, Rocky looked around the room and found a delicate figure just behind the gauze curtain on the left of the room. With skin as smooth and bright as jade, this beautiful figure had several strands of her elegant hair down.
At that moment, Rocky was out of words to express how amazed he was at the woman's beauty. Although he had already seen different types of beauties from other women, this was his first time to see such an amazing and charming woman like Lucilla. Aside from being a gorgeous woman of stature, Lucilla had always been serious and stable as well. She always dressed and behaved properly, so that people would always put her on a pedestal and respect her from a distance. However, the woman in front of Rocky at that time was very different from how she used to be. It seemed she had changed into a different person
At that moment, Lucilla met Rocky's eyes, and her cheeks began to flush.
This was the first time she had applied heavy makeup. In fact, she had never worn any kind of heavy makeup before and even after she took over being chief at the age of 19. Before all of this grandeur, she used to wear simple and elegant clothes. However, she made an exception just today, all for the sake of one man.
"Well, Chief Lucilla, my clothes seem a little shabby compared to yours. Don't you think so?" Rocky joked in an attempt to break the embarrassing silence that flooded the entire room.
"As a matter of fact, I don't think so. I'm very honored that you were able to come. By the way, please don't call me Chief Lucilla anymore. Just call me by my name, Lucilla," Lucilla answered back. "But I'm afraid that it's a little bit inappropriate for me to address you in a first name basis.” At that moment, Rocky seemed to have realized something upon noticing that Lucilla's tempting words. "It's okay. You told me that if I couldn't support the Cao Clan, then I should give up the position of the chief. And now, I want to give it up. So please, starting now, just treat me as your friend, Mr. Rookie," Lucilla said with finesse.
"All right. As you wish." Rocky nodded as a reply.
Soon after, Lucilla sat down beside Rocky, instead of sitting opposite to him. But after they sat side by side, the small table suddenly seemed even smaller.
As a result, the atmosphere of awkwardness suddenly filled the room.
