After thinking things through, Tessa said to Rocky, "I live here alone and there's no spare room, I'm afraid. If you're tired, you can go to my chamber and have a rest. I'll just stay here with Nightshade."
"Oh, no, Miss Tessa. I don't think that's a good idea. You can't let him enter your chamber to rest!" Ramon contradicted.
At that moment, it seemed that the disciples of the Sword Spirit City just outside the Fragrance Pavilion were even more excited when they heard Tessa's offer. As a matter of fact, they felt that Rocky was so lucky to be able to rest in Tessa's boudoir.
"Why is that so? It won't matter anyway," Tessa said nonchalantly. Frankly, she didn't know what the problem was in the first place.
"Well, forget it. I'm just afraid of the possibility that I might be assassinated if I stayed there. May I know if there is there a woodshed in the Fragrance Pavilion?" Rocky inquired while waving his hand. Deep down, he was aware that Tessa's arrangement was a tad bit inappropriate.
"Oh, yes, there is. It's right behind this room. But the last time I checked, it was kind of messy," Tessa replied as she nodded.
"Well, that would be enough for me. So, I'm heading there to have my rest. Bye." As soon as his voice trailed off, he walked away and headed to the back of the pavilion. Just as he expected, he saw a dusty, old wooden house. He peeked through the door, entered it and saw a pile of wood that he assumed was used for heating the room during winter.
Immediately, he cleared the room for a bit and then sat on the ground. He then looked left and right to check if there was anyone around. After making sure that the coast was clear, he entered his Magic Spiritual Space.
And because he came into this world in a hurry this time, he didn't have time to prepare in advance. And the treasures that he had stored were all collected while he was still in the Wild Spirit Land. However, these treasures would not be able to help him in this world. After all, the level of this world was much higher than that of the Wild Spirit Land. Therefore, the same rule was applied to the treasures.
Meanwhile, Rocky cleaned for a bit and afterwards went into the lab. There, he studied some of the spiritual beast blood samples that he had collected before, including the one he had just secretly collected from Nightshade.
After analyzing the samples, he learned that the gene of the spiritual beast in this world was quite different from that in the Wild Spirit Land. What he found the most interesting was the fact that the urgenome was very different and more complicated. No wonder the spiritual beasts in this world were so powerful.
Rocky stayed for a few hours in the lab before leaving. He then left his Magic Spiritual Space and went back to the woodshed, and made his way to the front yard.
Meanwhile, it was already getting dark. Ramon and the disciples of the Sword Spirit City who guarded the outside of the Fragrance Pavilion had already left, leaving only Tessa bending over Nightshade's body. Her face showed exhaustion that she immediately fell asleep despite being in an uncomfortable position.
Upon seeing that Tessa was already asleep, Rocky entered the room as silently as possible so as not to wake her up. Then, he took a red cloak and put it on for Tessa to make her a little comfortable. But as soon as the cloak touched her, she suddenly woke up. Her eyes fell on the cloak, and realized that Rocky might have placed it there for her. So, she raised her head and said to Rocky, "Thank you."
"Go inside and have a rest. I will be here to take care of it," Rocky offered genuinely.
"No, I'd like to stay here. I won't be relieved until it wakes up," Tessa said firmly, shaking her head.
"It'll take some time before it wakes up. In fact, you won't be helping even if you continue to stay here. You'd better go in. I'll wake you up when it wakes up," Rocky persuaded her.
After hesitating for a while, Tessa finally gave in. After all, what he said made sense. She took a long look at Nightshade and then finally went inside the room to have a rest.
Seeing that Tessa had entered the room, Rocky immediately took the opportunity to collect more information from the Heavenly Diabolic Dragon and Nightshade for further analysis.
After collecting what he needed, he sat cross-legged beside Nightshade, trying to recover while waiting for it to wake up.
The night passed by so quickly that no one noticed that it was already daytime when Rocky, who was in the middle of cultivation, suddenly heard a rattling sound beside him.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw that Nightshade was looking up at him with its huge eyes, full of curiosity.
"Hello there, are you finally awake?" Seeing that Nightshade had successfully woken up without any visible injuries, Rocky could not help but smile from ear to ear. Now, he was certain that his hard work was not in vain.
