Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Rock''s New Ally (III)


    Rock moved fast. He quickly jumped into the room, and Long Xiurong immediately got up from the seat and tried her best to reach the door to escape from this assassin.


    Unfortunately, she wasn''t as agile as Rock. He grabbed her arm two seconds after she tried to run away.


    "H-Help ! Mmf!"


    Long Xiurong tried to scream, but Rock quickly covered her mouth and whispered from behind, "Ssh! The servants are going to hear us."


    Long Xiurong struggled as hard as she could, but this man was like an immovable mountain. He wouldn''t budge no matter how hard she struggled.


    Little did she know that all her vain struggles only annoyed him, because Long Xiurong tried to do a back kick, attempting to hit him on his balls. It was a desperate self-defense, but the only thing it did was rub her butt on his groin repeatedly, which unfortunately aroused him a bit.


    Rock gritted his teeth again as he tried to dispel that stupid idea from his mind. He tightened his grip around her mouth and added, "Stop struggling. I''m not here to


    kill you."


    "Mmf?! Mmff! Mmf!"


    Long Xiurong stopped struggling, but it seemed she had a lot to say. Rock dragged her into the corner of the room to minimize any sound she made and slowly lifted his fingers to give this woman a moment to calm down.


    But the moment he let her speak, she quickly yelled again, "Help-MMF!"


    "You-! How many times do I have to tell you that I''m not here to kill anyone? And stop struggling! Not only it doesn''t hurt, but you only make it awkward between us!" Rock scolded her. Long Xiurong froze when she noticed something big and thick was rubbing on her butt.


    Long Xiurong paled. She shook her head weakly as she thought that she would be raped by this stranger.


    If he didn''t want to kill her, then he must''ve wanted to rape her, or both!


    This man was probably an assassin sent by Lady Jade to rape and kill her, so her body would be defiled before death.


    She didn''t want to die or to get raped by a stranger. She was a noble-born and the daughter of the Emperor of the Long Dynasty!


    Long Xiurong let out a whimper, and Rock noticed her distress as she realized that he had a hard-on.


    Rock got flustered instantly as he truly had no perverted intention until he jumped to her window and was overwhelmed by her sweet scent that filled every corner of the room.


    Rock shook his head to regain hisposure and replied;


    "W-wait, not like that! I also don''t want to do anything with your body! I''m here because I want to meet with Princess Swan! This is a guest room, so you must be her guest, right?"


    Long Xiurong was both relieved and scared hearing that.


    Whoever this man was, he definitely didn''t have a good intention toward Princess Swan, and Long Xiurong had no intention of letting Princess Swan get hurt.


    Rock finally lifted his fingers again after Long Xiurong calmed down. She didn''t scream like before, but she was still on full alert, "W-who are you? And how do you know about Princess Swan?"


    "She is MY Princess, and I''m his loyal knight. Does that answer your question?" Rock replied.


    "I-I don''t remember her having any knight. You can''t fool me with that."


    "I''m not lying!" Rock eximed. He was proud of his status as Princess Swan''s knight, so her doubt was like a direct insult for him, "Princess Swan called me a dear knight many times!"


    "Are you sure you''re not just delusional? I know she''s a beauty, but don''t you understand that she is His Majesty Beast King''s wife? You''re courting death."


    "Tsk, I told you I''m not lying!" Rock


    was already at his wit''s end. He


    decided to let this woman know


    tolet


    about his identity. Nobody would believe her if she tried to report this


    anyway. "Fine. I am Rock Silverfang.


    I was His Majesty''s beta until an


    incident forced me to leave the


    kingdom. But even if I am not his


    beta anymore, my loyalty lies on Princess Swan. She is the only one I care for right now, and I am here to see her."


    "Rock... Silverfang?" Long Xiurong frowned. She looked over her shoulder to get


    a good look at the man behind her. The moment their eyes met, Rock''s world seemed to pause.


    To Rock, this woman''s scent was already intoxicating, which annoyed him because he disliked getting distracted from his duty.


    But the moment their eyes met, he felt a thousand fireworks explode in his brain.


    He was like an idiot who lost hisposure, and he kept staring at Long


    Xiurong''s beautiful eyes without blinking.


    As for Long Xiurong...


    Well, she thought that this man was very handsome!


    She had zero idea about werewolves'' traditions, habits, and instincts, but she knew about Rock Silverfang from the rumor. He was a traitor, a bastard who tried to rape Princess Swan.


    He got caught before that happened and was put in jail for treason. He was meant


    to spend the rest of his life chained, but he mysteriously escaped even though it was supposed to be physically impossible.


    Long Xiurong thought that Rock was a bastard who lusted over Princess Swan, but when their eyes met, she could see the innocence behind his eyes despite his strong appearance. He was like an open book, and Long Xiurong could see that he was very devoted to Princess Swan.


    ''Does that mean the rumors about him are untrue? There are so many stupid fake rumors around this castle. He''s probably another victim of gossip,'' Long Xiurong thought.


    Thus, she began to lower her guard and said, "I... I don''t think you''re supposed to


    be here. You are a fugitive, and His Majesty will kill you once he finds out."


    "I know that. But I can''t rest easy until I know about my Princess'' condition. I need to see her at least once before leaving," Rock insisted. "You are her friend-or at least her guest, right? Please help me to meet her!"  ?wnovel
