Chapter 968 Leaving Spiritual Pasture Valley

"Did the altar just self-destruct? Or maybe it finally collapsed because of the ancient spiritual beast that had been here for all these years." The female voice behind the curtain hesitated for a moment after Alyssa spoke, and she sounded a little surprised. She asked hesitantly, "Where is the ancient spiritual beast now?"

"It fell into the abyss together with the altar," Alyssa replied and cast a quick glance at Rocky at the same time.

"Did it?" She sounded even more puzzled. The altar had been there for a long time, and yet nothing happened to it. So what prompted its self-destruction so abruptly? It was a question that she could not figure out.

Seeing her confusion, Alyssa nodded her head solemnly. Although she felt sorry for lying to her grandma, she had no choice in the matter. She didn't want to get Rocky involved, so it was worth the risk.

"Then, I will report to the patriarch what I heard from you." The confusion in her voice was gone to Alyssa's relief. It seemed that she trusted Alyssa enough to believe whatever she said. Alyssa was both pleased and wracked with guilt.

"Grandma, do you have any advice for me? What should I do?" Alyssa asked, blinking her beautiful eyes innocently.

"Young man, can you wait outside for a moment?" The voice behind the curtain said to Rocky this time.

Rocky shrugged his shoulders casually, but he threw a questioning glance at Alyssa. When she inclined her head in a subtle nod, he turned around and walked out.

"My dear, I have checked all the secret manuals of the spiritual race, but I haven't found any other way to remove the curse. I'm afraid that it is the only way..." The voice from behind the curtain trailed off and released a sorrowful sigh.

"Is that the only way?" Alyssa's eyes darkened. If that was the only way, she would have to make a decision soon.

"My dear, please do what your heart tells you to do. Don't push yourself too hard. It might not be a good thing for you to become a member of the spiritual race. No one can promise you anything!" The voice spoke in a soft and comforting tone as if it was a mother pacifying her child.

"Are you saying that I should just live my life as a normal human woman? I don't think so. You know I can't do that!" Alyssa replied with a bitter smile.

"It's hard to say, my dear. Some time ago, you believed that no one in this world can remove the curse on you, didn't you? But do you see what faith had planned for you? You finally found him. What's more, I can see that you care about him very much." The voice behind the curtain seemed to see through whatever was happening between Alyssa and Rocky, but of course, Alyssa was deep i

thank you. But I'm more worried about you, Mr. Rookie. As far as I know, Tate will try everything he can to exact his revenge on you. You need to be careful too," Lucilla said worriedly.

Rocky snorted dismissively. He didn't see that guy as a threat to him at all. "I'm waiting for him. Let's see what he can do!"

Seeing this confused Lucilla though, for she did not understand where his confidence was coming from. She thought that he was still weaker than Tate. If Tate wanted to kill him, he would undoubtedly plan it well, so shouldn't he be anxious? Of course, she had no idea that Rocky had become a master of the Supernal Stage in the three days that he was away. He was far stronger than Tate now.

"I think I should send a few masters of our clan to protect you, Mr. Rookie. They can guard you against any attacks," Lucilla suggested after thinking for a while.

"No, thanks. I don't need any protection, but if you, the Chief of the Cao Clan, want to protect me in person, then I can think about it!" Rocky refused at once, but he also deliberately chose to tease her. He knew that Lucilla couldn't protect him since she was way too busy.

"Please stop teasing me! You know I'm too occupied with the clan affairs, but I do want to protect you personally! How about that? I'll ask my younger sister to stay around you. Then she can learn the Beast Curing Skill from you, and protect you at the same time," Lucilla suggested this time. She grumbled a bit at the start because she felt that he was not taking her seriously, but her eyes showed that she was eager and sincere.

"Your younger sister? There is no need for that, I assure you. I can't afford it! In fact, I think I will be safer if she's not around!" Rocky hurriedly shook his head with a bitter smile.
