When Queenie heard Rocky's tone, she was stunned for a moment, but then she paused and carefully scanned him from head to toe. It was quite dim when they were in the water and she couldn't clearly see him. Her indignation got the better of her when she thought that he took advantage of her, so she didn't carefully look at his face.
Most importantly, the water washed away all the dirt caked on him and revealed his good-looking appearance. It was near impossible to connect the disheveled servant-looking member of the Xiao Clan with the man in front of her.
"It's... It's you..." No matter how much Rocky's appearance changed, he was still the same person. Queenie quickly recognized him as the rude servant of the Xiao Clan. Even though her voice trembled, her murderous glare was unwavering.
"It seems that you remembered me, Miss Queenie." The corners of Rocky's mouth twitched even though he kept his voice light.
"You shameless bastard! I haven't paid you back for what happened in the Xiao mansion! You followed me and you even took advantage of me... Killing you isn't nearly enough to let out my hate..." She was on the verge of going berserk as soon as she was forced to remember everything that happened between them.
"Do you want to kill me? Why don't you dry your clothes first? Though I don't really mind if you fight me like this," Rocky laughed and wriggled his brows.
Once she realized what he said, Queenie let out an ear-shattering scream and wrapped her arms around her body, staring at him like a frightened lamb in front of a hungry wolf. Just like a wounded kitten, she bared all her teeth and claws but couldn't actually hurt anyone.
"I saved you but I don't expect that you'd be grateful to me. Hurry up and dry your clothes. There's a lot of beasts here and you can't reason with them. I can't play with you anymore because I have to do something important," Rocky said bluntly and barely spared her another glance. It was tough luck that he had to meet such a headstrong girl in this kind of situation. In his entire life, he had only met two very unreasonable girls, one was Shirley from the Ximen Clan and the other was Queenie before him. It was like the two were mirrors of each other, and both of them were arrogant, capricious and obstinate girls from big clans.
Just now, the only reason why Rocky even went to save Queenie was because he was afraid he'd be implicated by her screams but he was safe now. There was no need to mess with Queenie anymore and he'd gladly leave her alone.
Right after speaking, Rocky turned to leave but Queenie's exasperated voice made him pause. "You're not allowed to leave! If you try to leave, I'll chase you to the end of the world, catch you and tear you to pieces!"
"You're strong but dumb. If you stay here alone, you'll get killed. Go find your master." A dead serious expression took Queenie aback when Rocky suddenly turned to look at her. There wasn't a hint of playfulness in his words, just pure fact. If they hadn't met, Queenie would have ended up being dead. With her strength, she wouldn't be able to deal with the Combating Heavenly Robust Wolf alone.
As soon as Queenie met his eyes, she felt like she was locked in an ice cave. Although she was more powerful than Rocky, the eerie atmosphere around him made tendrils of unease and even fear crawl up her spine. It wasn't like anything she felt while she was at the Xiao mansion, which meant that the man in front of her eyes wasn't a servant of the Xiao Clan at all.
Before she could react, Rocky had already disappeared from her sight.
Once she was alone, Queenie shivered in fear at the thought of Rocky's words. Her eyes darted around her surroundings for a moment before she dropped onto the ground and used spiritual energy to dry the wet clothes on her body. All the while, she kept all her senses trained on her surroundings.
