Alex was dumbfounded. He could not believe that he would meet Shochiku in the water in the middle of
Witch River.
âCould she be dead?â
Alex quickly pulled Shochiku over.
âShe wasnât breathing!â
âHowever, her chest was still warm. She could still be saved!â
He hurriedly put Shochiku on the Sword of the Universe. He used the electric needle technique in the
Ultimate Book of Medicine to stimulate her heart, followed by artificial respiration.
He had long seen the wounds on Shochikuâs body. She was such a quiet and kind girl. When Alex was
injured, Shochiku also took care of him carefully.
This sight of Shochiku was tearing him apart.
âWho was so cruel as to do this to such a kind girl?â
Blergh!
Shochiku opened her mouth and spat out a large mouthful of water. Her heartbeat was restored.
When she opened her eyes and saw Alex, Shochiku froze. âAlex? Iâm not dreaming, right?â
Alex replied, âYou are not dreaming. It must be me dreaming. Why are you in the water? Who did this
to you?â
Shochiku hadnât managed to answer whenâ¦
In mid-air came Lunaâs voice, âHey, are you having a weak kidney? Canât you walk anymore?â
Luna was high up in the air. It was still a long way from Alex.
On the way, Luna realized that Alex was not following her. So, she asked. But, when she took a closer
look this time, Luna found that Alex was actually with a woman in white.
She hastily returned with the soundwaves again. Looking at Shochiku with a curious face. âAlex, how
did you conjure up such a large living person?â
Alex replied, âI fished her out of the water.â
âWow, you are very lucky.â
She examined Shochiku and saw that she was covered in wounds. Her face was also disfigured.
Lunaâs expression sank slightly, and she stopped flirting with Alex. âThe person who did it was quite
ruthless.â
Alex said, âLet me introduce her to you, Shochiku is a disciple of Hygieia Valley and a doctor of the
South California Divine Constabulary.â
Luna raised her eyebrows. âYou knew each other before?â
Alex nodded.
At this momentâ¦
A lavishly decorated pleasure boat traveled along Witch River and rushed over quickly from upstream.
Several people were on the bow of the pleasure boat, looking indiscriminately toward the river as if
searching for something.
Lunaâs gaze flashed and asked, âThe person who hurt you are on this pleasure boat, right?â
Shochiku nodded. âYes⦠Itâs my third senior.â
Luna hummed lightly. âFellow disciples are fighting each other.â
Alex asked, âWhat exactly happened? Captain Melvis even told me earlier that he couldnât contact you
and had been worried about you.â
While the pleasure boat was still approaching, Shochiku briefly told the whole story.
Shochiku was weak and suffering from a terminal illness. Her eldest senior pitied her and made a
potion, which was given to Shochiku to take in the night. On the other hand, the third senior of Hygieia
Valley liked the eldest senior. She had repeatedly confessed to him but was rejected over and over
again.
That night, it happened that someone saw the eldest senior coming out of Shochikuâs room. The third
senior was very jealous and turned frenzied. The third senior was determined that she seduced the
eldest senior. Today, she found an excuse to invite Shochiku out somewhere to murder her. She even
wanted the male disciples to defile Shochiku.
Feeling surprised, Luna asked, âAre the female disciples of Hygieia Valley so vicious?â
Alex looked at the fast approaching pleasure boat and said, âMiss Nanami, donât worry. I will get justice
for you.â
Luna clapped her hands and said, âYoung Master Rockefeller is going to be a hero. When Shochiku
returns the favor by devoting herself to Young Master Rockefeller, it will be another good story to sing
and cry about.â
Alex frowned. âDonât talk nonsense. Shochiku is innocent and kind. She is different from you. You canât
make such jokes.â
Luna glared at him. âOhh, what do you mean, Rockefeller? In your eyes, Iâm a heinous witch, right?â
Alex said, âDonât the others call you âOld Moon Devilâ?â
âThatâs my mother!â
âUh..?â
A coven of witches was even more terrifying.
At this time, the pleasure boat finally arrived. Someone on it spoke. âThird Senior, we have found this
b*tch. Sheâs really alive.â
âThere are also two people, a man and a woman, who saved her.â
The third seniorâs voice came from inside the pleasure boat, âKill them all!â
