Luna did not chase after them but watched the people flee helter-skelter.
Alex, who was controlling the Sword of the Universe, stood still. He stared daggers at Luna and said,
âWhy didnât you go after them?â
âHuh? Are you trying to drive me away? So that you both can act lovey-dovey here, right?â Luna
sneered. âYouâre the one who picked up the girl, not me. You should be chasing after them instead!â
When did Alex pick up a girl?
However, he said before that he wanted to seek justice for Miss Nanami Shochiku. Naturally, it could
not be just all talk. He immediately said, âAlright, Iâll go. You help me to take care of Miss Nanami for a
while.â
âIâm not free. Take care of her yourself.â
Alex did not even know why she got so angry. Hearing that, he could only take Miss Nanami and jump
onto the pleasure boat first. Only then did he chase after those people.
However, he was held back by Nanami Shochiku.
âAlex, donât go after them!â
âWhy? Donât you hate them? You almost died in their hands,â Alex said.
Shochiku said, âTheyâre all my fellow disciples. Even if they deserve to die, itâs just one or two people.
Third Senior has a huge influence in the sect, and sheâs the granddaughter of the grand elder. Those
people only colluded with her because they had no way to resist her. In fact, theyâre not ill-natured.â
Alex said, âBut, I donât think that theyâre not ill-natured.â
Hearing the disgusting words when they wanted to make advances at Luna earlier, they were definitely
not good people.
However, after being delayed by Shochiku, it was too late, even if Alex wanted to chase after them.
Even so, it did not matter. He happened to be going on a trip to Hygieia Valley. It was not too late to
settle the accounts when he got there later.
Moreover, now that he had Shochiku to lead the way, it should be easier to head to Hygieia Valley and
seek the medicine.
âAlex, why did you come here?â Shochiku asked curiously, âBeyond here is where the mountain gate of
Hygieia Valley is located, but very few outsiders know this place.â
Alex said with a smile, âIâm here to seek the medicine from your Hygieia Valley. At first, I was still
worried that I wouldnât be able to find the mountain gate. With you here now, itâs great.â
Of course, Shochiku was very angry deep down.
Third Senior and a few fellow disciples actually wanted to murder her and even defile her. If it were
anyone else, they would not feel happy as well. She must tell her master about this.
***
Shochikuâs injury was still quite severe, especially the flesh on her face was split open by the few
whips. If the wounds were not treated in time, scars would stay when they healed to a certain extent.
Sure enough, the scar could be treated at a later time as well. However, that would be a bit
troublesome.
Hence, on the pleasure boat, not only did Alex give Shochiku a healing pill, but he even activated the
Zharvakko talisman of the Ultimate Book of Medicine to help heal the wound on her face quickly.
Half an hour later, Shochiku was amazed when she saw her healed face in front of a mirror on the
pleasure boat.
âUnexpectedly, your medical skills are so amazing. Itâs no wonder that Captain Melvis respects you so
much, saying that your achievements in medicine far surpass the ordinary peopleâs! At the time, I
wasnât quite convinced. Now, Iâm speechless,â Shochiku said with total admiration.
She was a traditional doctor who was known as the apothecary in Hygieia Valley. Hence, she had a
greater understanding of skilled medical practitioners.
Alex looked at her. âMiss Nanami, is your terminal illness related to your blood?
Shochikuâs expression darkened as she nodded. âMy blood is different from the others. Its viscosity is
particularly high. As time goes by, itâd be increasingly higher. Itâll completely freeze until a certain day!
This is an inevitable family disease. Iâm not the only one with this condition, but my mother and
grandmother were the same too. They did not live past thirty years old.â
As she spoke, she let out a sigh. âI probably wonât be able to live past thirty years old!â
Alex ruminated over it.
Alex seemed to have seen such a disease before.
However, he could not remember it for a while, and he needed to think about it properly, so he said,
âDonât be discouraged. Maybe I can save you, but I need a little bit of time to study it! Well, after this
incident is over, you return to California. Iâll introduce you to someone. Sheâs the real Immortal Doctor.
Weâll think of a way when the time comes. The success rate will be even greater.â
âThe real Immortal Doctor? A descendant of the Immortal Doctor, Guilherme Extraordinaire?â
âItâs Guilherme Extraordinaire himself. â
âUh..?â
Shochiku was extremely shocked.
