Everyone was in a state of shock. In fact, they couldn't believe that Rocky was bold enough that he
dared to flirt with Shirley in public. He was so unbridled.
"Ha-ha, Your Royal Highness, it looked like you couldn't wait any longer to marry Shirley." Bryant just
laughed out loud to help Rocky get out of the embarrassing situation.
"Shirley is very beautiful. Every man who has laid their eyes on her will love her very much. So I need
to marry her as soon as possible." Rocky's disgusting tone drove Shirley who was beside him mad.
"All right, Shirley, please take His Royal Highness to visit our home now. You haven't been together
before. Therefore, staying together would greatly help you form a closer relationship. Shirley, do you
still remember what I told you yesterday?" all of a sudden, Bryant said to Shirley as he looked at her
after he heard what Rocky had said.
"Yes. I know." Shirley nodded and glared at Rocky angrily. She then swiftly left by herself.
"Your Royal Highness, you can visit our home with Shirley if you'd like," Bryant said to Rocky.
Rocky began to suspect that she would punish him rather than show him around. He thought that
maybe she had made preparations to kill him by using traps or hidden weapons. It was just Rocky's
guess. No excuse could be found to turn down Bryant's offer. So he cupped one hand on the other
before his chest and then went forward to follow Shirley.
After Rocky and Shirley had left the area, an elder of the Ximen Clan immediately said, "Bryant, it
seems that Miss Shirley doesn't like Prince Basil very much. They might have trouble getting along with
each other."
"Indeed, Shirley is a willful girl but I can assure you that she is very kind. His Royal Highness might
look careless and casual but he is also a very wise man. He could easily dodge awkward situations in
time and could pretend to be calm just like how he did earlier. He is really talented," Bryant said.
"Because of that, we are worried that Miss Shirley will be bullied by him."
"You don't have to worry. Shirley is much more powerful than His Royal Highness. How could she be
bullied by someone weaker than her?" Bryant shook his head.
"But he was able to defeat a talent at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage from the Magic Phoenix
Empire during the Dragon Birth Festival," another elder added.
"He fought with Mia at that time. The two of them defeated the talent together. He was fortunate to
have someone on his side. Otherwise, he would have been unable to win." Bryant also knew that
Rocky had defeated Erica, but he only considered him to be lucky.
"Since His Majesty had already decided it, we need to patiently wait for the wedding. After His Royal
Highness becomes a member of our Ximen Clan, I will advise him to help us," Bryant said in an
arrogant tone.
At that time, Rocky walked out of the hall as he followed Shirley. He saw that Shirley walked forward
without any hesitation. She didn't stop until she got through the red-painted door. She turned her head
and shouted at him, "What are you doing? Walk faster." After she had said those words, she turned
around and continued to walk forward.
Rocky shrugged his shoulder and walked faster towards Shirley at once. He wanted to know what
Shirley would do next and how she would punish him.
"What made you agree with His Majesty's decision? I thought you despised me," Rocky asked. In fact,
he had already known that Shirley didn't have the chance to refuse it just like he didn't have the
chance, either. Otherwise, Shirley would have never agreed to be married to him because she hated
him very much.
"Do you really think I am willing to marry you? Frankly, I want to kill you instead." Shirley glared at
Rocky coldly.
"Don't worry, I feel the same way as you do!" Rocky laughed out loudly.
Rocky was surprised to see an acquaintance after they had walked for a while.
"Hey, my grandson! What are you doing here? You should stay in the dragon field and work harder."
The acquaintance was Bear who had always fought against Rocky in the dragon field where Rocky
only beat him and taught him a lesson every time.
Bear couldn't believe that he ended up running into Rocky the moment he returned. He was envious to
see that Rocky was with Shirley. In the dragon field, he and his war beast were hurt heavily by Rocky
and Uriah. He had lost his dignity and was filled with shame. All he wanted was to get his revenge. But
unfortunately, he never had the chance to fight him again. When he saw Rocky, he realized that it was
his best chance to teach him a lesson.
"My grandson, come here quickly. There is someone I would like you to meet. This is my girlfriend. She
will be your grandmother one day." Rocky made a joke with Bear to provoke him further.
"What the hell is wrong with you? You're sick." Shirley stared at Rocky angrily.
"Miss Shirley, could I talk to you for a moment?" Bear had always known that he wouldn't be able to
defeat Rocky, so he ignored him and asked Shirley instead if they could talk in private.
Shirley looked at Rocky with a serious expression and then walked towards Bear. She turned angry as
Bear told her a few words in a very low voice.
After Bear had said what he wanted to say, he looked at Rocky and left with an evil expression on his
face.
Shirley rushed towards Rocky and asked, "You dare look down on our Ximen Clan! And what is your
relationship with Master Mia?"
At once, Rocky had known that Bear must have said something to slander him. But he didn't mind any
of it and said to Shirley with a smile, "Just like what you have in mind."
"You..." Shirley didn't believe his reply. All of a sudden, she was so angry that she used her spiritual
power to hit Rocky on the chest directly.
Rocky was caught off guard by Shirley's attack but he was able to dodge quickly.
"Why are you running away? Don't you have the strength to face me? I also heard that you have
defeated a master at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage from the Magic Phoenix Empire. I can't
believe how much of a coward you really are," Shirley cursed.
"You are being a very unreasonable girl." Rocky crossed his arms and looked at Shirley.
"Unreasonable? I... I will kill you right now!" Shirley hated Rocky so she still couldn't believe the
emperor had decided to marry her to him. Now, she just got angrier and angrier because Rocky had
insulted her. She shook her body as the Dragon Spirit Mark appeared quickly on her fine arms. Next,
she turned her fingers into a sword and attacked Rocky with her spiritual power.
"Are you being serious right now?" Rocky knew that Shirley didn't try her best to attack him. He also
activated the Dragon Spirit Mark on his left arm and used his spiritual power and turned it into a mass
of cloud to defend himself from the attack.
As their two kinds of power clashed against each other, a bright light flared and went out. They heard a
loud and deafening sound.
All of a sudden, Shirley felt that that her hands were stuck by something. She observed carefully and
found that Rocky's spiritual power had surrounded her arm after the loud explosion. She couldn't move
them anymore.
Shirley didn't realize that she had underestimated Rocky until now. She wanted to improve her spiritual
power but it was already too late. Rocky caught her arms and trapped them. Next, a kind of mixed
colors began to surround them. She found that her spiritual power was flowing out of her body.
If Shirley knew about this before, she should have just spared no effort to attack Rocky. Due to her
carelessness, she was now under an out of control situation with him.
"You were being unreasonable so let me teach you a lesson." All of a sudden, Rocky stretched out his
hand to grab Shirley's chin. He then kissed her rosy lips without any hesitation.
