Rocky waved his hand and the hairpin soon flew into the woman's hand. He then asked, "You are the princess of the Timber Deity Empire. How could you be threatened by a flower hairpin?" A smile crept on his face, as his amusement made itself known.
The woman in front of him was Alyssa.
As a matter of fact, before they went back to the Qi Clan, they had made an appointment to meet here once the matter was over.
"This flower hairpin belonged to my mother. I thought I had lost it." Alyssa rolled her eyes at Rocky and gently touched the flower hairpin in her hand.
"I took it off when I was healing you," said Rocky, raising his eyebrows.
"You know, I intended to let the Cao Clan win, so you did not need to threaten me with the flower hairpin..." Alyssa suddenly spoke up, raising her head, as she leveled a fierce glare at Rocky.
"But aren't you on the Qi Clan's side? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have taken it out..." Rocky was a little surprised by her words since he thought that Alyssa would still take the Qi Clan's side. He only came up with this plan with that assumption, as he had never expected her to side with the Cao Clan.
"Why should I tell you? Should I tell you everything I do?" Alyssa reproached.
But Rocky was not discouraged by her temper, and he asked bluntly, "Did you side with the Cao Clan because of me?"
"Who the hell do you think you are? Why would I do it because of you?" she muttered in a disdainful voice, frowning sternly at him.
"What do you want from me? I think we'd better be honest with each other. That will be better for both of us in the long run," Rocky finally asked after a moment of hesitation.
"Then tell me first, how did you get the evil power in your body?" Alyssa frowned at Rocky's question, but she immediately recovered. In return, she answered with a question of her own.
"I can't tell you that," answered Rocky. The evil power in his body was from the Holy Dragon Bead, which was a fact that should never be known, especially to the princess of the Timber Deity Empire. She was not his enemy, but she was by no means his friend.
"Who sealed t
t's the curse?" Rocky didn't expect that the whole thing was this complicated.
"I can't tell you that... It's my biggest secret! But you have to know..." Alyssa said hesitantly as she still didn't know if she should tell him everything. If Rocky was the only clue to unlock the curse seal, then he would find out her secrets sooner or later. However, it was also a risk for her. If he didn't want to cooperate, then it would be a great disadvantage for her if he knew her secret.
But for some inexplicable reason, Alyssa trusted Rocky, so in the end, she told Rocky her secret, including her identity that was a combination of human and spiritual race, as well as the curse and seal on her body.
And now, Rocky knew the reason why Alyssa was so powerful. It turned out to be because of the blood of the spiritual race.
"But you and Woods are siblings. Why are you so powerful, while he isn't even a spirit manipulator?" Rocky asked in confusion.
"Humans and the spiritual race are not supposed to get involved from the very beginning, and of course they shouldn't have babies. Normally, if a human and the spirit race have babies, their children won't be able to survive in the world. Even if they can survive, they will be cursed forever and unable to have any power. As a result, although Woods is the son of a human and a spiritual race, he can only lead an ordinary life because of the curse," Alyssa explained.
