Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 793

"Miss Mary, there are no outsiders here, you don't have to pretend. You wanted to keep me here by mentioning Miss Juey, didn't you?" Rocky casually said, exposing Mary's ulterior motive.

"Then why did you follow me? Why didn't you just leave? You have an ulterior motive about my sister. I'm not wrong." Mary didn't bother pretending anymore and her face immediately turned into a sneer as she looked at Rocky, as if she had seen through all his layers into his true colors.

"Even if I do have an ulterior motive, what about it? From what I can see, Miss Juey is much more likable than a scheming woman like you. Although you're sisters, you're very different from each other. If you were even half as kind-hearted as Miss Juey is, you might be a little bit more adorable," Rocky replied indifferently. He'd seen all kinds of women and most of them were obedient to him. If he got serious and flirted with her, Mary would be no match for him and would be easily manipulated.

"Why would I want to be more adorable? I don't want you to like me," Mary retorted, thinking that Rocky was deliberately making fun of her.

"I'm not talking about me. To put it bluntly, I don't have any interest in you, Miss Mary. Please don't think that I do." Rocky looked down at her as if to say, "Don't flatter yourself."

An embarrassed flush climbed on Mary's cheeks and her face twisted in anger. There was no way that she could beat him in words, so she just glared at him and snorted without saying anything more.

Both of them continued walking in silence together for a while until they reached a quiet courtyard full of peach blossoms.

"That's my sister's room. Go inside yourself." Mary pointed at a room within the yard and glanced at Rocky.

A twitch pulled at the corner of Rocky's lips when he saw the angry look on Mary's delicate face. He went straight to Juey's room, but half way there, he suddenly paused to turn to Mary and said, "Go back and tell your father, don't waste time on me. I will neither listen to reason nor bow to force. I only do the things I want to do." After saying that, he continued walking.

"What an arrogant guy! Just wait. I'll deflate your big head before long." When Mary heard the cocky tone, she was so angry that she could only stomp her feet and glare daggers at the back of Rocky's head for a moment before turning away.

When Rocky arrived at Juey's room, he hesitated for a moment before he reached out to knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Juey's listless voice came from within the room.

"It's me, Rookie," Rocky replied lowly.

Only silence replied to him and the door remained shut in front of his face.

His brows knitted together as he stared at the door and wondered why Juey refused to open the door.

All of a sudden, the door flew open to reveal a gaunt Juey who stared at Rocky like he was a dream that would disappear. She didn't expect that the man she was longing for was here. She heard that the Xiao Clan left no stone untouched within the Barren City but failed to find him, so it was likely that he already left. But now, Rocky was back and she could only look on in surprise.

"Roo... Rookie? It really is you!" Juey exclaimed and her excitement was apparent even on her gaunt face.

"What's wrong? Didn't you want to see me?" Rocky teased even though her joy in seeing him again was clear as day on her face.
