"It couldn't be her. That's impossible! I am nothing more than a mean idiot who means nothing to her," Rocky replied before letting out a loud chuckle—a facade he constantly kept up whenever Isis was around.
"I don't believe it. Mr. Bai, it's not that difficult to understand why all the women flock towards you like moths to a flame or bees to honey," Laney replied earnestly, the sympathy in her eyes clear as daylight.
"If that's what you believe, so be it. I ought to get going now," Rocky replied with a grin on his face and a shrug of his shoulder.
"Alright then... Would you like to help tuck me in for the night, Mr. Bai? I'm so exhausted right now that I can barely take a single step," Laney asked as she blushed—the nerves from earlier were still lingering on her skin.
"Aren't you afraid I'll hurt you?" Rocky—fully aware of his flirtatious ways—teased with a cheeky grin.
"I don't think you will," Laney uttered seductively. She knew Rocky wasn't the type of person who took advantage of anyone, so she knew that being with him wasn't a huge mistake—for now, at least.
Rocky laughed out loud. Cradling Laney in a sweet embrace through the sheer curtain, he gently laid her down on the bed. "Miss Laney," he began, "it is a great honor to know you fancy me. Unfortunately, I have other important matters to attend to right now. I'm sorry to disappoint you." Without a second to lose, he immediately turned around and left.
"Who are you, Rocky? No one can seduce you—not even me." Laney told herself as she stared at Rocky intriguingly.
Leaving Laney's room behind, Rocky went through the back yard to escape the Geisha House.
Midnight—a bone-chilling breeze blew through and past the few people on the street.
"Seems I have to find an inn to stay at." Rocky decided that returning to the military camp for Sheridan wouldn't be the best idea. With nowhere else to stay, he headed towards the inn at the end of the street.
After making his reservation at the inn and with no other requests, Rocky was ushered to his rather inconspicuous room.
Upon entering the room, Rocky immediately shut the door behind him as he entered the Magic Spiritual Space—a mesmerizing realm where there was no clear distinction between night and day.
Propped on the ground with a growing belly, the Dark Heaven Insect Queen was surrounded by three of her followers.
Uriah played with the Ghostly Ice Fox-Wolf.
"Building a new lab in the Magic Spiritual Space? That's a great idea!" Rocky immediately told himself eagerly.
