Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"The invitation is just an excuse. I say what they really want is to see how we will react to this. Otherwise, the Qi Clan wouldn't have been so stupid as to send it to our Cao Clan like this," Lucas surmised.

"I agree with you. The Qi Clan probably wants to provoke us. Therefore, we have to be very careful from now on!" Lucilla nodded, aware of the gravity of the situation.

"The Qi Clan will surely try their best to ingratiate themselves with Mr. Rookie. Chief, I think it would be better for us to strike first. As for what we talked about last time, I don't know..." Lucas started after giving it some thought.

Remembering their conversation, Lucilla bit her pink lips with embarrassment. "I gave it a try."

"You tried it?" Her answer surprised Lucas. She hadn't mentioned to him she'd decided to go through with it.

Lucilla went on to tell him that she'd tried to seduce Rocky with the honey trap. However, she left out some important details.

"It seems that it won't be easy to draw Mr. Rookie over to our side. We have to gain his support first. But if we want to win him over, I'm afraid that you'll have to truly rely on him first..." Lucas surmised.

"Master Lucas, what do you mean?" Lucilla did not understand what he meant.

"I mean, chief, you should make yourself fall in love with him first. Of course, I don't think it will be difficult, for Mr. Rookie is very attractive after all. I think any woman would fall in love with him. I am aware that you closed off your heart ten years ago and haven't opened it to anyone since then. So, it won't be easy for you to fall in love with Mr. Rookie, unless you..." Lucas said shrewdly, his turbid eyes gleaming.

"Let me think about it." His words made her hesitate. She wasn't certain if she could do it. Sure, it wouldn't be hard to seduce him with her beauty or lure him with her body. But letting go of everything and falling in love with him was where she drew the line.

"It's none of your business. From today onwards, you are not allowed to be within three meters of the circular furnace. If you failed to keep your promise, I will never teach you anything else." Rocky warned solemnly.

"It's not like I care. What will you teach me today?" Noticing the furtive look on Rocky's face, Queenie went on.

"Did I say that I will be teaching you anything? Continue to dismember the body of the spirit-manipulated beast," Rocky replied with his arms folded across his chest.

"I have to continue doing that?" When Queenie heard this, her face immediately crumpled. Although she was accustomed to bloody scenes like this at that time, it was still difficult for her to accept it on a daily basis.

"Of course. At your current speed, I'm afraid you can't even cure an ant. If you can dismember a spirit-manipulated beast in half an hour, I will teach you something new." Rocky baited Queenie.

"Half an hour?" His outlandish request stunned Queenie. Yesterday, it had taken her three to four hours to dismember a spiritual beast. She knew it wouldn't be easy to dismember a corpse of the spirit-manipulated beast within half an hour.

"It only took Juey three days to achieve that goal." Rocky deliberately provoked her.
