"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.
Witnessing this scene, Lucas and the other women seemed to realize something and immediately flew
away from the area.
Then, within a radius of about ten meters, where Alyssa and Rocky were currently situated, countless
wood vines emerged from the ground and quickly intertwined and surrounded the two, as if they were
placed inside a huge cocoon.
The elder didn't have enough time to stop the abrupt scene and was shocked to see that the wood
vines had completely wrapped the two inside. The vines continued to rise and thicken, lifting the two in
the air while being enclosed in a huge and thick wooden sphere.
The spiritual race beings were flabbergasted as it was their first time witnessing such a thing.
"Wait. What the hell is this?" Even the patriarch and the elders of the Wood Clan glanced at each other
with confused looks on their faces.
"It's pretty simple. It seems that she has finally faced her own heart…" Apart from the members of the
Wood Clan, it seemed like Evita was the only one who understood what was going on. She wanted to
stop Alyssa earlier from going to Rocky, but she also realized that it might be the perfect opportunity for
the princess to face what was truly inside her heart.
Upon seeing the huge wooden sphere up in the air, the elder of the Heavenly Demon Clan was
distressed that he immediately gathered his strong spiritual power and hurled powerful attacks towards
it. However, he was dumbfounded to see that his attacks were just able to peel and break off a few
vines. The huge wooden sphere didn't budge even a little.
After a while, streaks of green light suddenly burst out through the cracks on the surface of the vines.
As the dazzling light continued to grow stronger, the vines gradually opened, and the wooden sphere
landed on the ground, like an enormous flower that had just bloomed.
As the lights dissipated little by little, everyone was able to see Alyssa and Rocky. To their surprise,
Alyssa's appearance had completely transformed. Although overall, she still had human features, it
was very notable that the unique spiritual mark of the Wood Clan had emerged on her beautiful face. At
the same time, her delicate body was clothed by colorful flower vines. On her back, there were also
vines attached that looked like extremely durable whips. At first glance, she would look like a fairy of
the forest.
But on top of it all, what surprised them the most was the current aura that Alyssa possessed. Without
a doubt, she had now broken through the level of a spiritual master.
"Does it mean that her seal has been removed? If that's the case, then Alyssa's Moon Fox…" The
patriarch of the Wood Clan couldn't even finish his sentence in utmost anticipation.
At the same moment, the Magic Spiritual Space that Alyssa had opened began expanding widely.
Then, an exceedingly breathtaking aura could be sensed from within the space. Eventually, she saw a
huge fox shadow enveloped in dark-green lights walked out of Alyssa's Magic Spiritual Space.
"Moon Fox?" Alyssa was easily startled as she saw the huge fox shadow. She could still recognize that
it was her original guardian beast, but its features had drastically changed.
As the cursed seal from within her body was removed, so was the seal attached to the Moon Fox. With
this, the Moon Fox's original form was restored, which was the true form of the legendary guardian
beast of the Wood Clan—the Timber Moon Fox King.
The Moon Fox, who had regained its original body, was wearing a gorgeous flower shadow wood mark.
Its nine majestic green tails swayed gracefully in the air, like the tree crowns with lively swinging green
leaves on them. It was like the king of the forest that exuded an aura of wisdom and authority.
It was said that the Timber Moon Fox King was the only one among the nine legendary guardian
beasts that had the ability to exactly predict the future. This was the main reason why the Heavenly
Demon Clan wanted to marry Alyssa into their clan. They were worried that once her seal was
removed, the Moon Fox, who would inevitably return to its original form as the Timber Moon Fox King,
would also regain all of its superior abilities. If it was able to predict the future, then their clan would be
in trouble if they went against the Wood Clan.
As soon as the Timber Moon Fox King showed up to the crowd, the face of the elder of the Heavenly
Demon Clan instantly turned pale.
"Basil, thank you…" Alyssa couldn't express how grateful she was to Rocky. If he hadn't taken the risk
to save her in the first place, she wouldn't be able to face her feelings, and she would have definitely
missed the opportunity to remove the seal.
"I just did what I'm supposed to. Now, it's your turn to do what you should do." Rocky was elated to see
that everything worked out in the end. Even from the beginning, he knew that it would be too risky, but
now that he was able to help Alyssa remove the cursed seal, then every effort he made seemed to be
worth it.
