"I know what I'm doing," Rocky nodded.

"What are you talking about?" Obviously, the other three had no idea what they were talking about, and Marcia didn't expect that they would understand either way.

"You three should stop pestering Basil—especially you, Lena! You are the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire. The overall situation of the empire is dire, and His Majesty needs a little more rest before he can get back to taking care of the state affairs. So, you should do your duties without fail," Marcia scolded, treating the three women like her younger sisters.

"I know! And I will! I just haven't seen Basil in a long time. I want to spend more time with him!" Lena said, pouting.

"Master, we spent the whole night studying, but we still couldn't come up with a method to cultivate together with Basil. Please give us some advice!" Sabina cut in impatiently.

"Cultivate together?" Marcia turned to Rocky, raising her brows.

He shrugged with a shy smile.

"Speaking of that, I need Basil's help to refine the Dragon Sarira. So, cultivating together is a good idea. I may be able to give you the part of the power contained in the Dragon Sarira, which may in turn help you improve your strength. In addition to that, Basil can also continue to fuse the power of the Holy Dragon Bead the same way." Marcia's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Rocky felt a dark cloud hover over him after hearing her elaborate plan. He rolled his eyes with a reluctant chuckle. He wasn't afraid of any kind of cultivation. He was hoping to speed up the process of fusing the power of the Holy Dragon Bead, but as a man, he wondered about the consequences of cultivating with all these women.

"One more thing. General Lance sent word—Isis and Nigel are on their way back to Imperial City. They will be back at the Palace City soon," Marcia added.
