Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 369 Marry Me

"Commander Marin, was Commander of Timber Deity Empire really executed by Rocky?" Isis' calm face was like the breast of a lake when the loud wind was laid, shock registered on her face before she could hide it when she heard the man who killed Commander of Timber Deity Empire and brought down Timber Deity Empire was Rocky.

Marin nodded to Isis in noncommittal expression. Her eyes were also full of bafflement. It was unmistakable that she even was hesitant about Rocky's competence. She couldn't believe that Rocky had progressed so much.

"All of you leave us alone. I demand to have a confidential dialogue with Commander Marin..." After a second of halt, Isis told Commanders.

Commanders looked at each other in ambiguity and then bowed and left.

"Marin, judging from his competence, Rocky couldn't kill Commander of Timber Deity Empire, who is of the Heavenly Stage by himself. How could he do that? How could he execute a Commander of the Heavenly Stage?" Isis asked Marin after everyone left.

"I didn't see that myself, either. Spirit manipulators who were along with Rocky said that something perplexing happened on Rocky at that time,” Marin said seriously.

"Peculiar thing? What is it?" Isis asked curiously.

"At that moment, Rocky released dark spiritual power when he was in the most precarious situation. At that juncture, Rocky became very vigorous and outstripped the first grade of the Heavenly Stage. Then, he killed Commander of Timber Deity Empire," Marin said in a bemused voice.

"The first grade of the Heavenly Stage? How on earth could it be... His power was only the eighth grade of the Earthly Stage in the contest.” Isis was also shocked. Her brain was desperately scrambling to make sense of it all. "I never heard that one could emit dark spiritual power. Dark power shall belong to the royal spirit manipulators. How could it be feasible that he emitted the dark power?"

"I also feel weird. But all of the soldiers, along with Rocky, said this. There is a possibility that the soldiers had illusion since it was dark at that time. However, Rocky easily like counting the blossoms on a century plant withstood an attack launched by another third grade of the Heavenly Stage Commander of Timber Deity Empire when he went to save me with the chopped-off head. I didn't feel anything wide off the mark since the condition on the battleground was exceedingly demanding. Judging from this, Rocky was indeed odd, and his eyes were extraordinary at that time..." Marin found it was hard to explain the situation. In apprehension and stress, she could feel the dread in her chest waiting to take over. Perhaps only preferring to protect her, but there was absolutely not any peril. It sat there like an angry ball propelling her towards anxiety she didn't just need. She couldn't spare time for Rocky and his abnormal behavior. She thought about the whole thing now and felt there were lots of loopholes.

"What else did Rocky conceal from us?" Isis sighed. Although she knew about Rocky, she again felt there were too many unexplained secrets on Rocky. This man was a mystery as an echo. The further you knew about him, the more bizarre you felt about him. You would never figure out how many secrets he had.

"Besides, one spirit manipulator who was closest to Rocky said he had vaguely seen a spiritual mark on Rocky's arm. He didn't see that positively, due to the inappropriate angle.” Marin was on the horns of a dilemma and revealed a piece of awe-striking news.

"Spiritual mark? Isn't it Dragon Spirit Mark? It's outrageous. This is like one buried alive to lift his gravestone. His capability in the contest was known to all of us. We didn't see any Dragon Spirit Mark on his arm. If there is Dragon Spirit Mark on Rocky, it means he is a royal spirit manipulator. As all of us are aware, that royal spirit manipulator is rare like the stars upon a clouded night and critical for Holy Dragon Empire. We never hear the royal spirit manipulator is banished from the empire into a troop. I suppose this spirit manipulator must have an incorrect judgment!” Isis shook her head. She didn't conjecture the preposterous things since there had already been lots of peculiar stuff on Rocky. Otherwise, she didn't know what kind of unbelievable consequences would result in.

"But... Rocky could ride on Verdanim..." Marin said in a slow pace like one compelled by an unseen force.

"Ride on Verdanim?" This news shocked Isis like a bolt from the blue. It was as if the impact had knocked every wisp of air from her lungs. Her brain formulated no thoughts other than to register that she was shocked. She didn't know how to respond. Was it just a coincidence?

"That's right. He took Verdanim away and rode on it when he left last time. The same thing happened before. I didn't care about this too much and I thought it was just his luck and a coincidence. But thinking about it now. Only a royal spirit manipulator could ride on a dragon, right? I never heard an ordinary spirit manipulator could ride on a dragon..." Marin said and thought everything was too peculiar.

"Well..." Isis was also confused. Her mind was still a surging perplexity. Thinking for a while, then she said, "He maybe have some special ability. Don't forget. He was an apprentice of Sheridan. He could manage two spirit-manipulated beasts. Nothing impossible could happen to him."

"That's right,” Marin nodded. An idea came to her mind and she asked Isis, "Oh, Isis, why did you agree with his presumptuous demands?”

"What's that?" Isis didn't have the slightest clue what Marin referred to.

"In case anything wrong happened to me, you dispatched Rocky to Rough Slope for supplying the army provisions. So, you gave Rocky approval that if he rescued Rough Slope... you will marry him?" said Marin. Her face turned red as the blood-drops from a wounded heart.

"Marry him? Did he say that to you?" Isis frowned, and a look of anger shone from her eyes. Her eyes glistened with indignation and violence, much like lightning on a pitch-black night.

Marin nodded.

"This guy... He sent you on a wild goose chase." Isis was resentful and explained to Marin. She was like an enraged panther. Anger was brewing like tea in a pot or like a storm out at sea.

"Ahh? Oh no! Gosh!" Marin’s face fell like wet cement.

"What's amiss?" Isis asked.

"He informed me you promised to marry him to save my skin, so I..." Marin stammered.

"Didn't you..." Isis realized something.

"Yes, I guaranteed that to him, if he rescued the troop, I would marry him instead of you.” Marin's face went red like an over-ripe tomato, her face contorted with the venomous outburst. She felt embarrassed and wanted to hide in the snow like an ostrich.

"How slow-witted you are! Why you believe what he said..." said Isis, rolling her eyes. She looked at Marin shell-shocked.

"There is no way that I can tell he is joking with this. Now, he has rescued Rough Slope. Am I going to..." Marin said in rue.

"Leave him alone. He lied to you first. Don't be on a tenterhook. I will teach him a lesson when I meet him next time," Isis said. Anger boiled deep in her system, as hot as lava. It churned within, hungry for destruction.

"Deputy Commander in Chief, are you going to teach me a lesson?" A joking voice was saying outside of the camp. Later, a man came in.

Both Isis and Marin turned their heads and found it was Rocky. He strode in calmly with a look of indifference.

"You, such a perjurer! How dare you to come and see us..." Marin retorted, making a fist with her hand as if she was going to punch on Rocky.

"How dare you, Rocky! How dare you to take advantage of Marin, my cousin! I will teach you a lesson!” Isis was boiling with anger, too, as if she wouldn't let Rocky go scot-free.

"I'm going to take off and come to say goodbye to Commander Marin. I have brought Verdanim back." Rocky frowned and turned away after concluding his words, despite the fact that two women were gawking at him. Their eyes rest, not unblinking but slowed, yet the effect was soft and inviting instead of harsh.

"Hold on!" Both Marin and Isis shouted on top of their voices when seeing Rocky was about to leave.

"You don't want me to go? Or both of you want to marry me?" Rocky stated in an evil voice and joking expression grew on his face.

Both Marin and Isis gave him angry stares hearing what he said.

In this world, only Rocky dared to play a joke with these two women with background and influence.
