When Marcia saw Uriah, she was quite stunned by its size and asked in surprise, "Is it that little guy I saw last time? Why it has grown to such a big beast, and its power has leapt from one-star to three-star? Could it be because you fed it the whole yellow spiritual crystal?"
Rocky didn't deny the fact and nodded.
"Are you out of your mind? How could you feed the entire yellow spiritual crystal to a war beast that hadn't reached the level of one-star? Do you want to kill it?" Marcia snarled. She was really mad at Rocky as Uriah could have died after taking the yellow spiritual crystal.
"Don't worry! Uriah is quite healthy now!" Rocky spoke in a surprised tone. He never expected that Marcia would be mad at him because of Uriah.
"It is also my fault. I should have told you how to use the yellow spiritual crystal correctly. Luckily, it is fine now, otherwise…" Marcia hesitated to complete her sentence. "Unexpectedly, the yellow spiritual crystal has completely drawn out its potential. It's a pity that I am not a beast evaluator, or else I could have helped to evaluate the potential of your beast," Marcia added with a guilty look on her face. She seemed to be quite fond of Uriah.
"I might do a wrong thing, but you see, the result is good. Thanks to your spiritual crystal, Uriah has been able to grow bigger and more powerful. And for this I am sure, my war beast would like to thank you personally," Rocky told Marcia and yelled out to Uriah, "Uriah, she is your benefactor! You should express your appreciation to her now!"
As soon as Rocky finished speaking, Uriah seemed to have understood his words. At once, it jumped up and leaned against Marcia. It stuck out its tongue and began licking Marcia's face.
"No...! Stop licking me! Stop that!" Marcia was bewildered and at a loss by such a sudden and enthusiastic form of appreciation. Moreover, she was tickled by Uriah's licking, so she kept chuckling. At that moment, she was so happy, completely different from her apathy a moment ago. To Rocky, her smile was like spring flowers and flowing water, so natural that it warmed his heart. Marcia, as a high level official of the Holy Dragon Empire, seldom had such a relaxed moment.
The scene in front of Rocky was like a real-life version of beauty and the beast. He held his hands in front of his chest and watched the scene with great interest, while the corners of his mouth curved into an evil smile.
After Marcia patted and placated the excited Uriah, she immediately glared at Rocky and scolded, "You did it on purpose, right? So, you can have a good laugh at me! Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
