Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 916 A Breakthrough

Whether the larvae of the Dark Heaven Insects could complete their gene modification and break through to the next level was crucial, and it was also the primary objective of Rocky's experiment.

In the blink of an eye, a few hours passed. Outside of the Magic Spiritual Space, the moon was shining brightly in the sky with stars twinkling around like diamonds.

When he finally finished his work and called it a day, Rocky walked out of the Magic Spiritual Space, rubbing his temples. He ordered the Rainbow Glow Unicorn to return before heading back to the house. But when he got there, he was surprised to find someone who was up as late as he was. “Why hasn't she gone to sleep yet? he wondered. Queenie was sitting there with her forehead wrinkled in concentration. She was busy with dismembering the body of a dead spirit-manipulated beast. But because she had just begun her study on it, the body looked grotesque, with all its internal organs scattered around.

He had intended to watch her from a distance, but when he saw her fumbling around helplessly, he could not help but let out a laugh.

Upon hearing the sound of his laughter, Queenie came to her senses and raised her head. Her face immediately soured when she saw who was in front of her.

"That's enough for today. Go and take rest,” Rocky said, the smile on his face disappearing.

"No!" Queenie shook her head in a huff and then lowered her eyes to the body of the beast again. She refused to believe that she wouldn't be able to finish it today.

"If you go on like this, I'm afraid that you won't be able to dismember the carcass until dawn," Rocky remarked

"It's none of your business,” Queenie replied, slightly pouting. She was only in this embarrassing situation now because of Rocky, so she wouldn't be tricked by him, even if he was pretending to be nice to her now.

Rocky chuckled to himself. Since Queenie insisted on struggling on, he felt obligated to help her out. After a moment of hesitation, he strode forward.

"Here, you should start from here.” He just ignored Queenie's attitude and, covering her hand with his, showed her how to dismember the carcass with the tool in her hand.

At first, Queenie could not focus at all. She kept getting distracted by how close Rocky was to her and the touch of his hand. Her face flushed a deep shade of red. But after a while, her attention was completely pulled to what Rocky was showing her.

The two of them were so focused that time slipped by, and two hours passed without their noticing it. Queenie finally finished the dismemberment of a spirit-manipulated beast's body for the first time in her life with Rocky's guidance.

"Thank God! It's finally done.” She let out a sigh of relief and realized that she was sweating all over. It was as if all her strength had been used up by dismembering this carcass. It had been a great challenge for her.

"Not bad. You have mastered some basic skills in such a short time," Rocky praised from behind. When he noticed that she was startled by his voice, he curled his lips into a small smirk.

It was only after Rocky spoke that Queenie remembered how close he was to her. She turned around immediately, planning to teach him a lesson to vent her anger. However, the moment she turned around, her eyes met Rocky's. They were only a few millimeters apart, almost nose to nose with each other. She could even hear his breathing clearly. Her mind went complete blank and she unconsciously stared into his eyes, which were as dark as the vast ocean. Feeling as if she was going to drown in them, she let out a shaky breath.

Of course, Rocky noticed the way she was looking at him and smiled dimly. But before he could say something to mock her as usual, he sensed a familiar, strong aura outside the room. He immediately stepped away from Queenie and cast a glance at the door. "It's getting late. You'd better go back to have a rest first. Come back tomorrow morning!" Then, before Queenie could even react, he quickly walked out of the room.

Queenie's eyes followed him until he was out of sight. She had been overcome by an unfamiliar feeling just now, as if she had been falling down in a bottomless hole. For a moment, she had completely forgotten who she was and where she was. The only thing in her mind had been Rocky. Outside, Rocky had hardly taken a few steps when he saw a delicate figure appear in front of him. "How did you find this place?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Don't bother to ask. I can find you easily even if you dig a deep hole and bury yourself in it! But I guess I should apologize for disturbing you," sneered the figure with a clear trace of sourness in her voice. Of course, it was Alyssa. Except for the proud princess, nobody would talk to Rocky this way. "I believe that Your Highness must be quite occupied. Don't you have other things to deal with? You come to see me so punctually every night,” Rocky said with a wry smile, changing the subject. As far as he knew, Alyssa had to deal with a myriad of affairs every day due to her current position in the Timber Deity Empire. Thus, he couldn't understand how she could come to see him at the same time for three consecutive nights.

Alyssa rolled her eyes in response, but didn't tell him that he was right. She had indeed been busy recently, especially since the emperor was seriously ill. More and more burden fell onto her shoulders, and she had to be in charge of many of the state affairs of the Timber Deity Empire. Nevertheless, her priority was still to get rid of the curse. She was so obsessed with it that she wasn't able to have a sound sleep at night. She had no choice but to squeeze out time to focus on getting rid of it as soon as possible.

Seeing the expression on Alyssa's face, Rocky waved his hand and said, "Never mind; just forget it." "Let's go," Alyssa said flatly.

The next moment, the two of them turned into shadows and disappeared from where they were standing.

As usual, they spent the whole night cultivating together.

Alyssa tried some new methods, but still made no progress. The curse had responded during the first time they had cultivated together, but it had stopped responding after that. Needless to say, she was frustrated. Success seemed to be in sight, but it refused to come closer. Trying to remove the curse was like torture.

When they finished their cultivation and were about to return, Rocky suddenly stopped and grinned as if something had just occurred to him. "By the way, I have a small request. I wonder if Your Highness can grant it," he asked.

"You know there is no such thing as a free lunch. Whatever it is, you have to pay. I'm guessing it's something very troublesome." Noting the wide smile on Rocky's face, Alyssa grimaced.
