Chapter 286 The Special Friendship

"Aaargh!!" Marin shouted in horror. In an instant, a full blast of water flew directly at her.

The sight of Marin's drenched figure made Rocky laugh loudly. 'Ho-ho! How dare you laugh at me. I will show you how powerful I am!' Rocky thought to himself as he mockingly pretended to be Marin scolding him.

Marin was shocked and amazed at the same time that Verdanim allowed Rocky to fly it and now even obeyed Rocky's instructions. She felt extreme admiration for Rocky because of these things that he was able to do. Things that were supposed to be impossible. But no matter how much Marin admired what Rocky could do, she knew that Rocky should get wet as well.

"Verdanim, Rocky wants to take a shower. Help him," Marin ordered.

Verdanim immediately sucked in a mouthful of water from the sink and pointed its water-filled mouth at Rocky.

Rocky immediately held up his arms and shook his hands left and right. "Stop, Verdanim! If you spray water on me, I will not give you delicious snack anymore."

Verdanim raised its head immediately upon hearing Rocky's words.

"Hey! I'm your master. Why do you listen to him?" Marin complained. She was both surprised and amazed that Verdanim was now hesitating to obey her orders. She then turned to Rocky, "Did you give it something bad?"

"Of course not. All I gave it was tasty, yummy food. Verdanim, if you agree with me, spray your master once more," Rocky said grinning. In fact, to speed up Verdanim's recovery, he often fed it food mixed with magical saliva.

"Verdanim, if you do that again, I will no longer speak with you," Marin exclaimed while placing her hands on her hips to make herself look more serious.

Verdanim was caught in a dilemma that it could not resolve on its own. Was it supposed to follow Marin or Rocky? Verdanim then decided

move as water dripped from their very wet clothes. Neither one spoke a single word.

They slowly came to their senses as water from the air continued pouring down on them. They stepped away from each other slowly and glanced at each other as peals of laughter broke out between them.

"You crazy dragon. What will I do if your master asks me to...well...you know..." Rocky said trying to glare at Verdanim as he unsuccessfully suppressed a smile. He imagined that this would be the start of his troubles.

The next few days were peaceful for Rocky because he did not see Marin.

But he knew that a day of reckoning was close at hand. So when Rocky walked towards the gate of the northeast military camp early one morning, two guards waited for him there and informed him that Commander Marin required his presence.

"I think the day of reckoning has arrived," Rocky whimpered to himself just before he entered the commander's quarters. He knew that there was no evading Marin now so he decided to face whatever waited for him inside the quarters. He knew that he would be placed in an awkward situation if Marin asked him to marry her. After all, Rocky always had a special place for Lena in his heart.
