Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 755 She's A Nice Person

Puzzled, Chris shot his eyes at Rocky, as if looking at him would give answers. But suddenly a strange feeling came into his mind. Rocky looked like an ordinary folk, but there was something about him that was weird. It seemed as though he was hiding something from people. Because of his assumption, Chris thought that maybe he should pay more attention to Rocky.

On the other hand, Rocky had already realized that Chris was suspecting something of him. The reason why the Magic Sword Panther stopped being furious at them was that Rocky tamed it with his spiritual power. To prevent Chris from further suspecting him, Rocky curled his lips, subtly stepped back a few steps and then sat on the ground. With a panic-stricken look, he trembled from head to toe and shouted, "What's that? Is it going to eat me? Oh, I thought I was going to die here!" As he expected, his embarrassment made the disciples from Xiao Clan burst into laughter. They shook their head at Rocky's ignorance, still laughing as they lowered their heads.

Chris took a sigh of relief at his reaction. He thought it must only be his illusion to take Rocky as a cultivated warrior. He then gave several careful glances at Rocky, as if trying to figure him out. But no matter how hard he tried, Rocky just looked like an ordinary folk to him now.

"Stop laughing at him. Hurry up. Just lock it up.” Mary also heaved a sigh of relief. She cast a stern glance at these disciples. It was dangerous just now. They were fortunate to have faced just a young Magic Sword Panther. If it were more mature, then it would have taken someone's life.

Seeing Mary's angry expression, the disciples stopped laughing and obediently became serious. They rushed up and locked the beasts four limbs with iron chains.

After the Magic Sword Panther was taken away, Mary walked up to Rocky and asked with a hint of arrogance in her tone, "How about you? Did it hurt you?"

"Oh, it almost got me! I'm fine, I'm fine. Thank you, Miss Mary!" Rocky hurriedly stood up and replied. He tried to get the dirt off his clothes and met Mary's eyes when he looked up.

"I don't think I have seen you before," Mary asked as she found Rocky quite unfamiliar. She gave him a head-to-toe look, trying to remember if they had already met before.

"I just joined recently,” Rocky replied respectfully, giving a soft nod and turning his eyes to look at the ground.

"Oh, then it makes sense. Things like that are quite normal here, and I want to remind you that people lacking courage are not suitable to work here in the beast farm. Please be careful next time. You have almost been killed by it, but luck won't be around all the time. Listen, if you are afraid of losing your life, you can leave and find a better job..." Mary looked at him with contempt, speaking in a steady tone. She looked as though she was giving out a warning and was trying to intimidate Rocky.

"Miss Mary, I will train him well. Please don't worry.” Willie showed up behind them and replied to Mary's advice to Rocky. Willie tried to sound reassuring as he spoke respectfully.

Mary let out a scoff, nodded, and turned away.

Rocky shook his head, his eyes following Mary. He cracked a bitter smile. He had thought for a few moments that Mary truly cared for his safety, but it turned out that she really was just trying to intimidate him. It turned out that she was just putting on the airs of a lady. Rocky now thought her younger sister was more adorable than her, which meant a lot.

"You heard what Miss Mary said just now. Pay more attention. Don't cause any trouble to our Magical Beast House. We accepted you to work here for Miss Juey's sake, but if you make mistakes, I'm afraid you would have to pack up your things and leave. Miss Mary can be really strict," Willie instructed Rocky in a strict and steady tone, as if borrowing power from Mary.

"I'd better go on with my job. Please take care, Willie!" Rocky said. He turned away to leave but before he proceeded to walk away, he cast a glance at Willie. He did not feel any intimidation from either Mary or Willie.

"You'll regret..." Apparently, this offended Willie. He then shouted furiously from behind, stomping his feet heavily as he spoke. Rocky, on the other hand, continued to hurry away from where he was standing when he was confronted by Mary and Willie.

It was dark outside when Rocky finished his work in the beast farm. He planned to go to his old place to continue his study as he did before.

But a shrill scream from a beast stopped him. He froze and tried to listen carefully. The scream continued. Rocky turned to look at the direction where the scream was coming from. He thought it was from the stable where the young Magic Sword Panther was kept, if he was right.

After hesitating for a moment, Rocky dropped his original plan and walked towards the beast stable instead. He opened the door and found that the limbs of the Magic Sword Panther were tightly locked by the iron chains. It was unable to move any part of its body, so it continued screaming. It seemed to be beaten as it was covered with bruises all over.

"Oh, what have they done to you," Rocky cursed. He felt horrible seeing the creature like this so he stepped closer and went up to untie the panther from the chains. Feeling much better, the baby beast thanked Rocky for his help by rubbing its head against his arm. It was as tactile as a human. It then looked at Rocky with its innocent eyes.

"Don’t thank me. I can only make you feel comfortable for the night. I have to lock you up before dawn. If not, I will be in trouble. They've been angry with me because I helped you in the day. So, relax and don’t try to make any trouble for me,” Rocky whispered. He had no choice but to give his warnings to the creature.

It was weird that the baby Magic Sword Panther just listened to him quietly like a docile sheep. It looked as if it trusted him.

Rocky couldn't help smiling at it, but then he sensed an aura approaching. Subconsciously, he let out some of his spiritual power and shouted alertly, "Who is it?"

The next moment, a familiar figure appeared outside the beast stable.

"Miss Juey?" Rocky recognized her at once and then held his spiritual power back.

"Yes. It's me!" Perhaps it was because she felt the strong power from Rocky, she looked a little shocked. She felt being covered by something just now. Although it disappeared immediately, she began trembling out of fear. It was a strange experience for her.

"What brings you here, Miss Juey?" Rocky asked immediately, trying to change the topic when he realized that he might have frightened Juey.

"I heard from Willie that the baby Magic Sword Panther almost killed you. Thus I came here to see how you are? But, from the looks, nothing's wrong with you," Juey said as she examined him from head to toe. She then put her heart at rest after she made sure that Rocky was safe and sound, but she was surprised to see the little beast resting in his arms. She came closer, trying to put her eyes on the little beast for a while, but then she shouted, looking into Rocky's eyes, "Oh, what a surprise! This baby Magic Sword Panther acts like a spoiled child in your arms. I can't believe it!"

Rocky immediately came back to his senses. It slipped his mind for a moment. He shouldn't have acted so naturally in front of Juey.

"Magic Sword Panther is bloodthirsty, though it's only at such a young age. We lost four disciples when Chris took them to capture it. But why is it so gentle to you now?" Juey explained and looked at Rocky with a puzzled look.

Rocky's heart missed a beat upon hearing her words. He thought as quickly as he could to come up with an excuse to get rid of her.

A glimmer shone into Rocky's eyes. He rubbed the head of the baby Magic Sword Panther softly and answered Juey with a serious expression, "You may not know all the things about this beast, Miss Juey. Magic Sword Panther is very sensitive to the smell of people. It can tell whether a person is good or bad from their scent. If he is a bad guy, it will become very fierce. If he is a good man, it will be as meek as a sheep then.”

"Really? That's so awesome. But how do you know that?" Juey asked, fixating her eyes at the beast. Apparently, she didn't believe all of his words.

"It's a long story. I happened to meet this kind in the small village I grew up. If you don't believe me, you can have a try." Rocky continued his story, trying to dispel her doubts.

Juey looked at the little Magic Sword Panther. She wondered whether Rocky was making any sense, but her curiosity gained the upper hand. She made a slight nod and reached out her hands to gesture the creature to come.

"Hey, little guy. Go and take a smell of this young lady. Tell me whether she is a nice person,” Rocky said to the beast and patted its head.
