Rocky took Isis to the white jade bed. Then he gently laid her down, and untied his clothes to cover her body. After that, he took out the bottle containing magical saliva and said gently, "This will help cure your injuries." He opened the bottled and held it directly to her lips.
Isis was surprised by what he had done for her. It did not make sense; she was expecting him to do something dastardly. She was expecting him to either run away or take advantage of her at this moment. But now, it seemed like Rocky was intent on helping her.
Isis should have doubted his intentions as well as the content of the bottle. She should have questioned whether he was trying to give her an aphrodisiac potion. But when she looked into his eyes, her typically restless and tactical mind was at peace. She drank that magical saliva obediently.
Once it had been ingested and absorbed into her body, Isis immediately felt relieved from the injuries which had been a result of the energy deviation. At the same time, the uncontrolled spiritual power returned to its source, led by the saliva. She was really astonished by the amazing power of this mystery liquid. Then she calmed down a little and closed her eyes. She decided to ignore Rocky and concentrated on the energy circulation to recover.
It was a long time before Isis felt her injuries was fully recovered. Then she slowly opened her eyes only to find that Rocky had disappeared. She sighed. It was to be expected. However, when she turned her head a little, she spotted a figure through the sheer curtains. Rocky was standing on the long corridor of the cottage with both hands on his back, his posture an image of outstanding elegance. He was looking into the distance with a calm expression.
"Why haven't you left?" Isis called out.
After hearing her voice, Rocky turned around and glanced at her. He said, "You'd better put your clothes on. Or would you like to talk to me like that?"
Isis was startled, looking down at herself. She quickly remembered what had happened before. Her eyes turned cold as she wrapped his clothes tightly around her body. Then she glanced at Rocky again and hurried into the inner room. After a while, she emerged dressed in a long lilac dress. She looked like a blooming violet, fragrant and appealing.
Rocky had waited a long time.
"You've got the nerve to believe that I would not kill you just because of the small favor you did me. Are you thinking that? But what did you give me? It was so powerful that it cured..." Isis' voice trailed off. She didn't know how to approach the situation.
"That's not true. What I really want is to give you a clear and thorough explanation. I certainly didn't mean to peep at you. And I think you aren't an unreasonable lady." Rocky knew that it would have been so easy to leave. But if he did, Sue would get into a lot of trouble. She had finally settled down; this was the last thing he wanted to do. It was a must for him to sort this out and make an end to the incident.
"You..." Isis stuttered. She wasn't used to his approach. Unlike the men she met, he wasn't imposing or aggressive. Smart as she was, she now did not know how to act toward this situation which made her a little distressed.
"Then why were you here at that moment?" Isis questioned.
Rocky took out the token and said, "It was General Marin who sent me here."
"My cousin?" Isis immediately recognized that token which belonged to her cousin, Marin.
"I am Sue's brother. I heard that General Marin arranged for her to come live here, so I came to visit her. I didn't know that you're cousins, however. It was truly an accident," Rocky explained.
"You're telling me you're Sue's brother? She's never mentioned that she has a brother," Isis said with some suspicion. But with Marin's token, she chose to believe it to some degree.
