"Miss Laney, you are so fearless. If the Evian City is conquered, the troops of the Timber Deity Empire will show no mercy to you. They will want to kill you the moment they see you," Rocky uttered with a smile. He got morose earlier, but now he felt relieved.
"Mr. Bai, do you forget that I'm from the Timber Deity Empire? Even if the Evian City is captured, those soldiers would not do anything to me. This is for the mere reason that I am also a member of the Timber Deity Empire..." Laney replied in a soft, calm voice. Her eyes gleamed as she spoke.
"Even so, it's still dangerous for you to stay here alone." Rocky furrowed his eyebrows. His worries were visible on his face.
"I have encountered many dangerous situations. This is not a big deal." Laney smiled and then asked, "The Timber Deity Empire troops have already retreated, right?"
"How do you know that?" Rocky's eyes narrowed.
"There was a commotion in the base camp before, but now it has become quiet. Also, you came here so nonchalantly, which means that the city is safe now," Laney responded as she blinked.
"You are so clever, Miss Laney," Rocky praised with a smile.
"I assume you must have made the greatest contribution in protecting the Evian City this time," Laney spoke, staring at Rocky with her beautiful eyes. Her eyes were so mesmerizing, as if they were shining.
"How are you so sure?" Rocky asked while raising his eyebrows.
"I've heard a lot about you. What I know from the things I've heard assures me that you did," Laney replied.
"What if I tell you I did not make a great contribution?" Rocky said with a slight shrug.
"Then you must be lying to me," Laney said firmly. Rocky found her expressions delicate and her face attractive.
Seeing this, Rocky couldn't help but laugh and he began to be in a better mood.
"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Laney asked upon seeing Rocky laugh. She couldn't hide her embarrassment.
"It's late now, Miss Laney. You'd better go to bed early. Don't play the zither again. Otherwise, someone might harbor the malicious intention towards you when they hear your pleasant musical sound," Rocky uttered as he shook his head, noticing that it was late now and the surrounding was dark.
"No, there's no one in the Evian City. I've played the zither for so long, and so far, only you have been attracted here. Do you mean you will do something bad to me?" Laney responded in a flirty tone.
"What do you think?" Rocky replied as he stared at Laney, with a teasing look in his attractive eyes.
"Even if you have an impure thought, I am not afraid of you. I know that you would not dare molest me even if you wanted to..." Laney said sarcastically. She was teasing him back on purpose.
"So do you want me to try?" Rocky suddenly leaned forward and got closer to Laney. She could almost feel his breath on her skin.
They looked at each other intensely. Laney's breathing started to become more and more rapid and she could feel her heart racing.
"I was just messing around earlier." Laney took a step back in shock.
"Then I'll leave now." With a smile, Rocky turned around and walked towards Uriah to leave.
