"Do you think giving your body to me is the best way to thank me?" Rocky asked coldly.
"To me, yes. Although I may not be as beautiful as Princess Alyssa, I am confident in my beauty. There are also many men in the Timber Deity Empire fighting for me, so I think giving my body to you is the best I can offer," Lucilla answered seriously. Rocky might think that she came here out of impulse, but the truth was she considered it carefully before she even stepped foot in his room. She thought that he was worth it, so she made up her mind despite the uneasiness and fear.
Of course, this time, Lucilla didn't just want to seduce Rocky like before, as her topmost priority was to repay what he had done for her and the Cao Clan. She considered herself to be an independent woman, so she hated the thought that she owed him for what he did, and she wanted to repay him as soon as possible. Rocky had helped her and the Cao Clan over and over again without asking for anything in return. This made her feel guilty, as she didn't want to owe him anything.
"Let me tell you that you are not the best among all the women I know, but I admire many things about you, such as your intellect, persistence, and fearlessness. As the chief of the Cao Clan, you are willing to sacrifice everything for your people, and that is worth appreciating. A chief of a clan really needs such courage and spirit. But I don't like that you are willing to ruin yourself to get these benefits. You are a woman, and you should cherish yourself more. If you keep pretending to be strong, sooner or later you will fall into a painful predicament. In the end, you will destroy yourself and the Cao Clan," Rocky scolded her rudely.
"I am doing this for the Cao Clan for a reason. But to be honest, I have never been interested in you, so you don't have to repay me with your body. You just want to use yourself to keep me here. Do you think I'm the kind of man who is obsessed with beauty and can be easily manipulated?" Rocky said coldly, raising his eyebrows.
Rocky's words were like sharp knives that stabbed Lucilla's chest one after another, and in their aftermath, she felt drawn out and wounded. He was right, for she did think about keeping him by her side with this method, but deep in her heart, she didn't want to use this way to keep Rocky. However, except for this method, she could not think of any other way. He was a very special man. He could easily obtain rare treasures and even a live larva of the Dark Heaven Insect. She was already the chief of the Cao Clan, and still, she felt that she couldn't catch up with him. Therefore, even if she wanted to repay him with material objects, she didn't have anything valuable to offer him. The only thing she could give Rocky was herself, and yet, he didn't seem to want her at all. Of course, she was only doing this because she had accepted Rocky's proposal, and she thought that they would get married sooner or later anyway. With that in mind, she didn't think this was inappropriate, but the last thing she expected to happen was for Rocky to refuse her.
"What kind of man are you? How many women around you are like me, who have laid themselves bare before you, only to be rejected by you?" Lucilla said, shaking her head with a resigned expression, as she suddenly understood something.
"Zero, I think. In general, I don't refuse any of them!" Rocky smiled.
"I don't believe you!" Lucilla said coquettishly, but she noticed that he didn't deny it either.
