CHAPTER 602 IT'S HER

"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 All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

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.

"Mr. Bai..." Laney muttered under her breath, but it was loud enough for Rocky to hear.

"Yes, Miss Laney, is there anything else you want to say?" Rocky asked, turning to look at Laney.

"If there isn't anything urgent you need to attend to, could you stay for one night?" Laney clenched her

little hands and Rocky saw that they trembled as if she was afraid.

"It seems that you are not as brave as I thought!" Rocky teased after seeing that Laney was uneasy

thinking she would be alone tonight.

"Don't make fun of me, Mr. Bai!" Laney responded in a soft voice, blushing.

"Do you want me to stay with you? But how do you propose to persuade me to stay here tonight? As

the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch..." Rocky spoke, narrowing his eyes and crossing

his arms over his chest.

"As long as you'll stay for one night, I will not refuse any request made by you..." Laney replied gently,

gazing at Rocky with her pleading eyes.

"Really? Alright. Then I will do as I please," Rocky said, walking straight towards Laney.

Seeing Rocky walk towards her, Laney bit her pink lips and took a deep breath, as if she was prepared

for something. Rocky, who was finally close to her, so close that she could hear his breathing, suddenly

whispered in her ear, "I'll sleep in the room next to yours. If anything happens, just shout. I will hear

you." After he finished speaking, Rocky went to the room next to Laney's.

Laney was frozen for a moment. After gathering herself, she turned around and saw that Rocky had

pushed the room's door open to go inside, and then closed it.

'Could it be that there is no difference between me and other ordinary women in his eyes?' Laney

thought as her eyes darkened. Then she walked into her own room.

The next morning, Laney went to knock at the door of Rocky's room, but nobody answered. When she

pushed the door open, she found that Rocky was already gone.

A woman suddenly appeared behind Laney. Laney turned to face her and asked, "When did he leave?"

A shrewd look appeared in her eyes.

"He left early in the morning," the woman responded at once.

"Send two people to look for him. He has managed to ruin the Princess' plan and cause Prince Woods

to lose the war. The Princess must be very angry and she may give an order to kill him. So we must be

prepared in advance," Laney said firmly.

Rocky had happened to hear the conversation between Woods and a woman in the base camp one

night, but what might not occur to him was that Laney was actually that woman.

"Yes." The woman left, accepting the order.

"If he didn't just do that, he might have the chance to be alive. But unfortunately..." There was a flash of

regret in Laney's eyes. She knew that this time, Rocky had helped the Crimson Dragon Army protect

the Evian City, which would definitely make him an enemy of the Timber Deity Empire. There was no

doubt that the Timber Deity Empire would try all means to kill him. Rocky was in great danger.

On the other hand, in the Palace City of the Holy Dragon Empire, the emperor of the Holy Dragon

Empire, who hadn't received the report of the battle of the Evian City yet, sat on his dragon throne in

the Grand Holy Hall. He looked rather restless. Two days ago, he had received the message that the

Evian City was going to be attacked by thirty thousand soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire, and that

there were not enough Evian City soldiers to resist, so the city might be conquered soon. Because of

this, he was very worried. After all, the Evian City was a border stronghold. If the Evian City was

conquered, the territory of the Holy Dragon Empire would be under great threat. If that happened, the

citizens of the city would suffer a lot of trouble and the war would take place. This was a burden for the

whole country.

The offciers of military affairs of the Holy Dragon Empire were also whispering their worries to each

other, looking at each other in dismay. They knew that if they lost the Evian City, the Holy Dragon

Empire would be in trouble.

"Father, please let me personally head for the Gehenna Border," Alston uttered in a determined tone as

he stood in front of the officers.

'I'm afraid that the battle might be over when you get there," the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire

responded, waving his hand dismissively.

When Alston heard his response, he seemed a little disappointed. Of course, he was just trying to look

good and make a show by saying that. He would not go to the Gehenna Border anyway. But when the

Gehenna Border was mentioned, he thought of his brother, Basil, who was also there.
