Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 419

When he had been sent into exile at the Gehenna Border, Rocky had been obsessed about improving his strength so that he could take back the power of the Holy Dragon Bead. Needless to say that the idea of being intimate with some woman was something that hadn't even crossed his mind then. Despite having almost accomplished the quest he had set out on, he did not feel sturdy enough to travel to the Imperial City to avenge himself and take back everything that belonged to him. His priority was to improve his strength first.

He was clear with the fact that he was not emotionally available to embark on a romantic relationship with a woman, but he was still a man, with desires and needs.

"I have to leave soon." Rocky mumbled to himself. He stood up with the intention to say goodbye to Laney, thus staying true to his intention to not get romantically involved with anyone.

"Miss Laney..." He had barely had time to pronounce her name, when he noticed the outline of a petite and curvaceous figure appearing behind the sheer curtain.

Suddenly, the curtain opened and Rocky was left dumbfounded by the scene unraveling in front of him. From the semi-transparent veils emerged a pair of beautiful legs.

Suddenly, the hidden figure appeared and started walking towards him slowly and sensually.

"Miss Laney, what are you doing?" Rocky could barely understand what was going on. The whole situation seemed so surreal. 'Wait a minute, is she planning to sleep with me just because I rescued her from that bully who was harassing her? I always thought that she only gave artistic performances, not that she sold her body for a living too! Was I wrong?' he thought.

This changed things a little. If Laney was just a common prostitute, then all this seduction game didn't mean anything to him, and he might even join in and have some fun. However, Laney's reputation was that of a pure and respectable girl, despite her living in a whorehouse. Rocky's mind was thinking fast, and he came to the conclusion that there were only two possible reasons that would explain why she was acting this way. Either she had fallen in love with him at first sight, or this was a ruse and she had an ulterior motive.

Rocky and Laney had only met twice. It was impossible for her to have fallen in love with him so quickly. He was certain that she was grateful to him for having intervened in her defense, but Rocky didn't need her to sleep with him in order to thank him.

Not that he doubted his charm, quite on the contrary! But despite having only just met her, he knew that Laney was neither the type of girl who fell in love so easily nor who would use her body to show her gratitude. It just wasn't in her character.

So that just left the option of there being an ulterior motive.

"Mr. Bai, am I beautiful?" Laney asked in a soft and enchanting voice as she walked towards Rocky. Her movements were inviting and provocative, but the look in her eyes was pure and innocent.

"Yes, you're extremely beautiful! As delicate as a fairy..." Rocky decided to play her game and praised her, even though he had no idea what her real intentions were.

"Do you think less of me because I live in a whorehouse?" Rocky could see right through the mask Laney was putting on. She looked like a scared little bird. Any man standing in front of her and seeing her raw vulnerability would immediately want to take good care of her and cherish her dearly.

"Laney, I always knew you were an artist and that you didn't sell your body for money, am I right? As a matter of fact, I have to tell you how much I admire and respect you for being able to make a living of your art, especially in this patriarchal society and how you manage to keep your status and purity intact. I can't help thinking about what you could have been able to achieve if you had been born under different circumstances." Rocky smiled, he was unable to lie. If Laney had been born in modern times she would have become a star. There was no doubt about it. Not only was she stunning but she was talented too, playing the zither like nobody else.

"Mr. Bai, I love how you speak. You are so eloquent! Do you really mean everything you said?" Laney asked before clumsily tripping over herself and falling directly into Rocky's lap.
