‘There would be chaos in the world if the beast asks Darryl to free it. I am here to prevent that from happening.’
‘No matter what, I will not let Darryl free it!’
“What?”
The Rocky was shocked; it looked at Sloan with curiosity.
Then, it immediately turned its head toward Darryl. “Little brother, your wife seems to have some misunderstanding about me.”
What?
Wife?
Sloan blushed. “I have no relation to him. Who told you that I am his wife?”
The beast turned its head again; it seemed like it was confused. “If you are not related to him, then why are you so intimate with him earlier? You were sticking yourself to this young man, and you squeezed into his protective shield too.’
“I-” Sloan could not find the words to reply to the beast. Her beautiful face reddened.
Darryl laughed. Then, he waved his hands at the enchanted beast. “Elder Rocky, please ignore her. My wife is only throwing a tantrum. She is refusing to acknowledge me as her husband.”
“I see.” Rocked nodded and smiled before it looked at Darryl and said slowly,” Little Brother, are you willing to hear me out?’
“Elder, please go ahead,” Darryl replied as he put his hands together.
Ricky looked ahead as if it had fallen back into its memories. Then, it said, “I have been trapped here for 500 years; that’s a whole 500 years! Day and night, I have wished to leave this place. The Incandescent Sect joined hands with the other sects to ambush me and then trapped me here. They did that because I have caused a lot of trouble in society; I have done many bad things.
“However, no one knew why I did those things; the reason I killed those innocent people.” Tears began to flow down its cheeks. “My family and I, even though we could live for a very long time, we have fragile reproduction abilities. You humans carry your babies for ten months, but for a beast like me, we’ll have to carry our offspring for 500 years before we can birth them. I’m afraid there are only less than ten of my species left in this world.’
