Chapter 877 We're Being Followed

"You should go back with me first. I have to verify something, but it may take some time to prepare," Alyssa demanded, thinking that this was a good chance. Now that Rocky had shown his face again, the riddle of her curse was likely to be solved, and she would never give up this opportunity.

"Do I even have a choice?" Rocky protested. Although he didn't know what Alyssa was up to, it wasn't her style to be so nice to him, so he could not help but feel suspicious. She could be hiding something from him.

"No, you can't go anywhere else right now! Just follow me quietly. If I see that you have even the slightest intention of running away, I will break your legs," Alyssa warned him with a glare. "Of course, if you obey me, I won't make things difficult for you. I will even allow you to leave as soon as I figure out what I want to know. That way, you can go back to the Holy Dragon Empire if you want..." Alyssa's tone softened after she met Rocky's defiant gaze as if she was beseeching him to cooperate with her.

'She wants something from me, ' he guessed. 'Otherwise, she would not treat me so politely.'

"I'll take your silence as an agreement then," Alyssa continued with a glance at Rocky, who was thinking hard.

"I don't have the right to say no, do I?" Rocky's lips curled in a wry smile. He was lucky enough to be kept alive after he was seized by Alyssa. If she didn't want to kill him, he might as well obey her for the time being and wait to see what exactly she was up to. Besides, he still had work to do. He needed to meet with Woods to arrange his plan.

Alyssa only threw a heated glare in his direction but did not acknowledge his words. Just as she was about to make her spirit-manipulated beast fly towards her manor, which was located in the northern suburb of the capital, a burst of maniacal laughter surrounded them, echoing louder and louder with each second that passed by. It was followed by an aura of a powerful creature.

As soon as Alyssa sensed the powerful aura, a look of alarm flashed across her face. Rocky frow

he explosion was so powerful that it blasted the surrounding trees into ashes, and the thunderous noise shook the earth beneath their feet.

However, before Rocky realized what had happened, Alyssa had landed on him. He felt the softness of her body in his arms, and his nose was filled with a whiff of her womanly fragrance.

After a short pause wherein she was too surprised to react, she hurriedly got up from the ground. Her cheeks were delightfully flushed. And for a moment, Rocky was distracted because she was a woman who was normally cold to men. It was strange to see her acting so shy. And if it were any other man who touched her as Rocky did earlier, although it was no fault of his, he would have been killed as soon as their skins touched.

Rocky was just about to get up when she shushed him with one hand and pressed the other against the ground.

"Distort the space and help hide us." Alyssa whispered the spell hastily. A unique spiritual power burst from Alyssa's hand and spread on the ground quickly, and strange runes rippled around them like cobwebs. In the next breath, the environment within a ten-meter radius transformed as if the previous place did not exist.

Hardly had the change taken place when those two from the spiritual race arrived. They looked around for the trace of Rocky and Alyssa who were hiding only several steps from them.
