Just as the two of them were talking, Lucas came in and saw that Rocky was back. His face lit up like the sky on new year's eve. However, his movements slowed down as he approached, and his brows scrunched up in confusion, as he studied Rocky intensely. He gasped in shock and exclaimed, "Mr. Rookie! Your aura has suddenly..."
"I can't hide it from you, can I?" Seeing that Lucas had sensed the change in his aura, Rocky smiled calmly. With Lucas' strength, it was easy for him to sense that his aura was stronger than before.
However, because of the existance of the power of the Holy Dragon Bead in his body, even Lucas didn't know how strong Rocky was now. He could only feel that Rocky's aura was much stronger than before, which was the reason that he was so surprised.
"Master Lucas, what's wrong with Mr. Rookie?" Noticing the unspoken conversation between the two, Lucilla couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing. I just feel that I have a new appraisal of him since we haven't seen each other for a few days." Lucas knew that Rocky didn't like it when others probed into his affairs, so he didn't say anything more.
Lucilla seemed to realize that she would not get a straight answer, so she didn't push for more. Instead, she walked back to her seat, as something suddenly occurred to her. "By the way, Mr. Rookie, the chief of the Xiao Clan sent you a letter," she said, rummaging the documents that were piled high on her table until she finally found what she was looking for. It was a letter addressed to Rocky.
"Is this from Juey?" Rocky took the letter with a smile. Once he verified that there was nothing else they needed, he said goodbye and left the Magnificent Hall.
On the way back to the big room, Rocky opened the letter and read it. Greetings of good fortune started the letter, and it was eloquently followed by Juey's narration of how the beast hospital was progressing so far.
He was pleasantly surprised that the beast hospital was progressing faster than he had expected. In less than half a month, the Xiao Clan had almost completed the first part of the construction plan, which was to establish the first beast hospital. From what Juey had said in the letter, the first hospital was built based on the Magical Beast House, and it also used the beast curing resources owned by the Magical Beast House, which explained why it was built so fast.
"She's quite smart. It seems that the first beast hospital will appear in the Wild Spirit Land soon," Rocky murmured to himself, as he nodded with satisfaction.
He put away the letter, as he walked into the big room, where he saw a delicate figure that was standing before a table for dismemberment. She was skillfully dismembering a corpse of a spirit-manipulated beast, and she was so focused on what she was doing that she didn't notice Rocky at all.
After a while, the figure finally sensed his aura. At first, she was alarmed by the sudden presence, but when she turned around, she saw that it was just Rocky. She snorted lightly then went back to what she was doing with no care for him.
Rocky looked around the big room and found that the corpses of the spirit-manipulated beasts, which he had asked Thomas to collect, were already dismembered, and several big vats were also filled with classified organs.
"It seems that you didn't slack off these days when I was away. That's good!" Rocky nodded with a faint smile.
"You are back! You smell of a woman's perfume! You must have dated somebody else behind my sister's back, didn't you? How dare you propose to my sister..." Queenie glared at Rocky as if she was looking at an unfaithful husband.
"You know that I proposed to your sister just to help the Cao Clan out," Rocky replied.
"Even so, you proposed to my sister in front of so many people, and now the whole country knows that my sister has accepted your proposal and will marry you soon. So, whether you are sincere or not, you have to marry her." Queenie discovered the truth two days after Rocky left. She was surprised that he had proposed to her sister just to help the Cao Clan, and not for his personal interest. However, the marriage proposal was spread wide in the capital of the country, so even if it was not true, she felt that for the sake of her sister's reputation, Rocky had to marry her sister.
