Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

The guests that were gathered at the first-floor hall of the Magical Beast House along with those who had just entered the gate heard the loud cry as well. With their attention caught, they all started flocking towards the third floor. Rocky found himself trapped in the sea of people that were making their way towards the third floor. He couldn't summon his spiritual power without causing a scene in front of so many witnesses. Thus, he decided to blend into the crowd for now.

The third-floor auction house was full to the brim with countless people.

From the front of the dense crowd came a voice that scolded, "You, the Magical Beast House, dare to auction the poisonous pill that killed my spirit-manipulated beast! How dare you! My beast had cost me ten thousand taels of silver coins, and yet it was poisoned by that pill. If I don't get any valid explanation, I'll make sure that the Magical Beast House will be nothing more than rubble and ruin before the day ends!"

"My dear guest, please. Quell your anger. Allow me to investigate first and then I will be able to answer your question," replied Willie, the Magical Beast House's steward.

'Since I'm already here, I might as well get to the bottom of what's going on, ' Rocky thought to himself. As he squeezed his way through the crowd, he finally made it to the front where the stage was located. Before him laid the dead body of a spirit-manipulated beast, its mouth covered with white foam and with purple splotches all over its skin. It looked as though it had been poisoned.

Beside the spirit-manipulated beast's carcass hovered a tall, thin, and aggressive-looking spirit manipulator who was flanked on either side by two other spirit manipulators. After assessing them, Rocky got the impression that they wouldn't be a threat.

"What pill did this gentleman buy?" Willie immediately inquired with the staff that led the auction.

"It's the Ethereal Spirit Pill of our Magical Beast House." The staff immediately took out the last Ethereal Spirit Pill from a box and handed it to Willie.

"We only hand out three Ethereal Spirit Pills per month. We sold one just a few days ago. Nothing's wrong with the pills

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

Curing Skills at all. She couldn't provide the help they needed.

"What happened?" Juey asked.

"Miss Juey, even if I did tell you every detail, you wouldn't be able to help. I'm afraid only Miss Mary could solve a problem as huge as this one." Willie shook his head as he realized the direness of the situation they were in. He never thought of how his words might have made Juey felt.

"Alright," replied Juey, who didn't seem to be irritated.

At that moment, the three men noticed Juey. They approached her and asked, "Isn't the Xiao Clan famous for their Beast Curing Skill? Being the Xiao Clan Chief's daughter, you surely must know what the hell is going on."

"I'm truly sorry, sir. I can't answer that. I don't possess any Beast Curing Skill," Juey apologized as she gestured with the shake of her hands.

"You don't know the Beast Curing Skill? The daughter of the Xiao Clan Chief doesn't know the Beast Curing Skill? Unbelievable! Surely, as a representative of the Xiao Clan, you plan to fool us and then present me with some form of compensation for my loss, right?" The man raised his voice. It appeared he was trying to cause a scene.

The onlookers took notice and began to murmur among themselves. Was the pill truly the cause of the beast's death?

Rocky, who had been quietly lurking in the background, turned towards the pill that Willie still clutched in his hand. After a few moments, he finally guessed what was going on.
