Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1827 The True Feelings

"Oh, yes. We have collected lots of treasures,” Valeria responded, playing along with Rocky.

"If I remember correctly, one of them is a divine treasure. So, if we are to give something to PrinceZain, why not that?" Then, right after Rocky spoke of it, he took out a seemingly unremarkable andordinary purple root.

At the same time, everyone was intrigued upon hearing that Rocky mentioned a divine treasure.However, when their gazes fell on the object that Rocky just took out, the people present showed aconfused expression. After all, it looked far from being precious, and it seemed that nothing wasspecial about it.

Of course, this was what the weak thought. But in the eyes of the strong warriors, especially those atthe Shura Realm, they could see a dazzling spiritual light emitting from it.

"Is that the Purple Demonic Root?" Gilbert suddenly exclaimed as he recognized the divine treasurein Rocky's hand.

Immediately after, the crowd went into an uproar upon hearing what Gilbert just said. They knewthat the Purple Demonic Root was an extremely rare divine treasure. It could absorb and condensethe essence of heaven and earth and also transform it into powerful demonic energy. However,because of the treasure's fiendish nature, it could only be refined by masters that were at least atthe Shura Realm. Hence, for masters at the Shura Realm, it was indeed a coveted treasure that couldbe used to further their cultivation.

Unfortunately, the place where the Purple Demonic Root could be found was extremely dangerous.In fact, even Shura Realm masters did not dare to enter it. Hence, even the royal family consideredthe Purple Demonic Root as a priceless treasure.

Thus, at this moment, Zain could not remove his gaze from the Purple Demonic Root. His eyes werefilled with greed, and he really wanted it for himself. Upon reaching the Shura Realm, it was prettyhard to increase one's strength. It might take dozens of years or even hundreds of years to reachthe next level. That was why this kind of treasure was pretty famous among strong masters. By usingthis rare divine treasure, it could drastically shorten one’s cultivation time to reach a higher level.Currently, in the royal family, there were only three warriors who were at the peak level of the ShuraRealm, and only a few managed to reach the high grade.

As for Prince Zain, since he was a talented master, even at his current age, he was already close toreaching the middle grade of the Shura Realm.

Hence, once he obtained the Purple Demonic Root, he would have a huge chance of breakingthrough to the middle grade of the Shura Realm

If only someone else gave this treasure to him as a gift, Zain would be more than willing to accept it.However, Rocky was giving it to him in return for a holy treasure, which was obviously less valuablethan a divine treasure. If he was to accept it, people would think that it was distasteful of him. Onthe other hand, if he refused, he would lose such an extremely rare opportunity to improve hisstrength.

Originally, Zain planned on stealing the limelight from Layla, but he did not expect that he wouldsuddenly fall into this kind of dilemma.

Meanwhile, Layla was actually enjoying the scene. She was surprised that Rocky was in possession ofsuch a precious treasure, and he was even willing to give it away so casually. She thought that if shewas in Zain's position, she would also be tempted to accept it.

"No. I can't accept it! But I really appreciate the gesture of you offering it to me.” In order not todisgrace himself, Zain could only refuse politely while gritting his teeth. It was such a hard decisionto make, but it was the right one.

"If Prince Zain won't accept it, can I have it instead? After all, it is such a precious treasure.” Out ofnowhere, Layla took advantage of the opportunity and asked Rocky.

When Zain heard this, his face instantly darkened. He was taken aback that Layla would shamelesslyask for it, disregarding her status as a member of the royal family.

"Yeah, why not? You can have it, Layla. It would be more useful in your hands than in ours.” Aftersaying that, Rocky immediately handed the Purple Demonic Root over to Layla. At the same time,since he addressed the princess in a very casual and even intimate way, people's eyes widened andthey started to speculate about their relationship.

After all, it was so uncommon for a mere Godly Genius to address Princess Layla so casually by hername.

In fact, even Valeria was surprised. Just a few days ago, he told her that he had not met the princessyet. But now, it seemed that they already had a special kind of relationship.

At this moment, Zain was still in a daze. He could not believe that he just lost such a greatopportunity and he did not even get anything in return. Moreover, he found out that Rocky andLayla were in a good relationship. Hence, he realized that all the gifts that he sent to win them overto his side were all for naught.

"Well, I actually only came here to deliver the gifts in person. I still have something else to do, soplease excuse me," Zain eventually said with a long face. He felt rather humiliated that all he wantedto do was leave the scene as soon as possible.

"Your Royal Highness, can't you wait until after the wedding ceremony? Please join us for thebanquet!” Gilbert asked out of formality.

"I'm afraid I can't. But thanks anyway." After that, Zain hurriedly left with his men, feeling defeated.As soon as Zain left, Gilbert was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Although Rocky had offendedthe prince, he did it in a very smart way. Therefore, Zain should not have any reason for retaliatingblatantly.

At the same time, Layla showed a very satisfied expression since Rocky was able to handle the trickysituation splendidly. She admired his flexibility even though he was experiencing strong pressure.Now that the commotion was over, Rocky and Valeria were finally able to enter the bridal chamber.Upon entering, Valeria immediately took off the veil on her head and breathed a sigh of relief sincethe ceremony was finally over.

"My dear wife, why would you take your veil off on your own? I was supposed to do that,” Rockysuddenly said, obviously teasing his new wife.

"Stop it! Don't take advantage of me!" Valeria immediately scolded as her face blushed a little."What? As far I remember, you were the one who proposed this marriage. I don't want to hear yousay that I'm taking advantage of you,” Rocky said, pretending to sound innocent.

"Ha! You could have refused the proposal.” Even though Valeria was getting angry again, she stilllooked so beautiful with her makeup and lovely dress.

"Who on their right mind would refuse that? After all, I now have such a beautiful wife!" Rockyretorted, deliberately provoking Valeria.

"Humph! Shut up!" Knowing that Rocky was just enjoying teasing her, she just shook her head andchanged the topic. "So, when are you supposed to leave for the human race?”

When he heard this, his expression eventually became serious. Then, he answered, "As soon aspossible. The Shura Race might send their troops at any time, so I have to go there in advance. Ihave to make some arrangements in order to stop Prince Zain's plan.”

"Why don't I go with you? I can be of help.” The truth was, from the bottom of her heart, she didnot want Rocky to leave. More accurately, she did not want to be away from him. Hence, if he hadto go, she also wanted to go with him.

"It will be for the best if you stayed here in the Ghost Fief. After all, I will need someone to cover forme while I am away..." Since Rocky's trip to the human race was not an order from the Shura Race,he would be in trouble if they found out that he did something out of his own volition. Thus, hehoped that Valeria could do him a favor and cover for him.

"Was this marriage also a part of your plan? You only agreed to marry me so that you can smoothlyproceed with the next steps of your plan. Am I right?" Valeria had somehow figured it out already,but she just refused to admit it to herself.

"Of course not. It's just a coincidence that you also wanted to marry me," Rocky replied, forcing asmile. Of course, he would not want to admit such a cruel thing so easily.

"Well, whatever. Even if I know that you are lying, you won't admit it anyway," Valeria said, soundingvery dejected

"I can see that you are starting to know me better... Anyway, we all have our own goals. But believeme when I say that I won't hurt you no matter what,” Rocky uttered firmly.

"I hope so..." Ever since the Spiritual Emperor Contest, Valeria started to realize that Rocky had beenkeeping so many secrets that sometimes she was already having a hard time identifying which werereal from not.

"I think you are just tired. Have a rest for now. I am going to prepare for my trip to the human race,so I have to leave for a while.” After saying that, Rocky hurriedly left.

As Rocky left her side, Valeria's eyes actually glistened. She felt so strange, not knowing when shestarted to have such inexplicable feelings towards Rocky. Right now, she felt that she couldn't livewithout him. Therefore, just the thought of Rocky leaving, and not knowing when he would be back,gave her unexplainable heartaches.

On the other hand, she clearly knew that she could not possibly bind Rocky to her side, not evenwith her genuine love for him.
