"Princess Alyssa, You have to know that it's not up to you to decide this matter." The elder of the Heavenly Demon Clan stared back at the princess with condescending eyes.
"Really? Then, if you insist, you'll have to take him over my dead body." Alyssa didn't back down and even threatened the elder.
"Don't be too rash, Princess Alyssa. Even if you died right here, you wouldn't be able to save him. Do you really want to get to that point? While in fact, you can save his life if you agree to leave with us. You can trust my word. Just do everything we're telling you." The elder was kind of losing his patience, so he also subtly threatened her back.
Upon seeing that even Alyssa couldn't do anything about the situation, Lucas and the women decided to sneakily approach Rocky and attempted to save him. However, they were immediately restrained by the ordinary spiritual beings and the spiritual slaves of the Heavenly Demon Clan, and didn't have any chance to even get near him.
Hearing the elder's response, Alyssa couldn't help but grit her teeth as she turned towards Rocky. In her mind, the elder was right. Even if she sacrificed her life, Rocky would still be taken away. Therefore, if she had to die, she had to at least make sure that Rocky would be able to escape safely. With these thoughts in her head, she immediately turned and looked intently at Evita.
The latter had a hunch about what Alyssa was planning. She actually wanted to stop her but she was taken aback by the fiery determination in the eyes of the princess. She had to nod as her support for her.
Instantly, Alyssa's spiritual power soared to great heights as she rushed towards Rocky. However, the elder of the Heavenly Demon Clan quickly saw through her actions and appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye. Even with her current strength, she was easily suppressed by the elder.
Although her strength was already equivalent to that of a high-level ordinary spiritual being, it was still inferior to the level of a spiritual master. Moreover, she was distracted with the thought of urgently rescuing Rocky; thus, she showed a lot of loopholes that enabled the elder to easily hit her.
However, Alyssa's fighting spirit was not to be underestimated. Even if she was hit by the elder and her face turned pale, she used this opportunity to redirect her trajectory and passed through the crowd just to get to Rocky.
As soon as she got to Rocky, she held him and said, "Can't you just let me leave in peace?" Alyssa was slightly trembling as she saw Rocky's worn-out appearance up close. She stared at him with her captivating eyes while trying to suppress her emotions. It hadn't been easy for her to face her true feelings for Rocky. As much as possible, she didn't want to see him risking his life for her, but right now, she was incredibly moved by his efforts and gesture.
"Well, I never wanted to owe anyone… I think that it's time that I pay you back," Rocky said softly with a faint smile.
"But you don't need to do that. I don't need to get repaid…" Alyssa was still trying to push her feelings down, but it kept on surging as if it was going to burst any minute.
However, at that moment, Rocky didn't give her any chance to escape. He intended to break down all the barriers that she had put up to suppress her feelings. With that, Rocky suddenly put his arm around her waist and drew her closer to him. He raised her chin using his other hand and kissed her passionately on her soft and tender lips.
Alyssa was surprised by Rocky's sudden and bold move. She wanted to push him away, but her heart immediately melted and felt like she didn't have the strength to resist anymore. Overwhelmed by her emotions that finally got free, she almost fainted and felt like she was out of breath.
At the same time, she also felt hot in her chest as it throbbed rapidly. It was as if something was about to burst out from her body.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone was also surprised. They didn't know where to look because the two of them suddenly kissed passionately in public.
Even the elder of the Heavenly Demon Clan found it absurd that they had to do it in front of everyone. He didn't want to waste his time watching something like this. He got so pissed that he wanted to separate the two of them as soon as possible.
However, just as when the elder was about to make a move, a strange green light that resembled the warmth of nature suddenly burst out from Alyssa's body, instantly enveloping her and Rocky.
