Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 31

Marcia glanced at Rocky with a puzzled look as she returned the bottle to him. Rocky took the bottle and checked its insides. He was then shocked to see that the bottle was empty. Obviously, Marcia already drank the two drops of magical saliva. He yelled out of sadness, "Oh no! General Beauty, did you use them all up? Do you have any idea how expensive they are? Frankly, a single drop should be more than enough to make you feel better. You didn't have to consume both of them!"

"How was I supposed to know that? Don't be so stingy! Oh, you just reminded me. You still haven't answered my question on where you got the miracle liquid," Marcia said as she glanced at Rocky.

"Sorry but that needs to remain a secret," Rocky answered.

"Do you have more of them? I am willing to exchange my yellow spiritual crystals for more of your miracle liquid," Marcia said as she raised her eyebrows. It was obvious that she was very interested in Rocky's miracle liquid.

"Those two drops were all I had and you drank all of them!" Rocky grumbled. The nubbin in Uriah's mouth could only secrete about three drops a day. He had already collected all of them yesterday. The only way to acquire more magical saliva was to wait another twenty four hours. But he was certain that Marcia wouldn't wait that long.

"Fine," Marcia answered and changed the topic. "I am guessing that you are a new royal spirit manipulator who just recently acquired the dragon spiritual power from a Dragon Spirit Bead. Would that be right? If yes, then why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the dragon field to complete your training?"

"It's a pretty long story and I don't want to bore you with it, ha-ha! But that doesn't really matter now. What matters right now is that..." Rocky smirked.

"That what?" Marcia folded her arms in front of her chest as she squinted her eyes at Rocky and waited for him to finish his sentence. Her cold glare sent a chill down Rocky's spine.

Rocky slightly trembled in fear and continued, "I have saved your life. I understand that you don't want to give me any of your yellow spiritual crystals. But maybe you could offer me something else."

"You just called me General Beauty, which means you have full knowledge of who I am. So how dare you request for such thing? I know what you men want and you can forget about it! I will never marry you as a reward for saving my life," Marcia said threateningly. She knew very well that she owed Rocky big time, but she was worried that he would ask for something ridiculous. So she decided to act that way on purpose in an attempt to take the situation under her control.

"Nope! You got it all wrong. I just want you to be my teacher," Rocky said.

"What?" Marcia was caught by surprise. It wasn't anything like she initially expected from Rocky. She thought he would ask for some of her precious treasures or request for a well-paid job as a high position officer in the imperial government. As the general of the Holy Dragon Empire, it would have been easier for her to offer him those anyway.

"So is that a no?" Rocky asked in a worried voice.

"Why do you want me to be your teacher?" Marcia asked as she looked at him with her pretty eyes.

"Because I want to be stronger! General Beauty, you are a legendary warrior! If I got the opportunity to learn from you, I would definitely grow stronger and faster than everyone else," Rocky answered seriously.

Marcia sneered at him and turned around to walk away.

"Hey! Are you just going to leave me hanging?" Rocky cried out anxiously.

"Well, do you have anything more to say?" Marcia stopped and turned back to look at Rocky.

"You haven't told me your answer. Will you be my teacher?" Rocky asked again.
