My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 713
As soon as Nash got out of the car, Hera pounced on him. Nash hugged Hera and jokingly asked, âYou didnât go square dancing, did
you?â
Hera gave Nash a playful look and replied, âIâd never square dance. I went to play chess!â She then pulled out a few crumpled ten-dollar bills from her pocket. She flashed her teeth proudly as she said, âSee,
I won 60 bucks!â
Nash could not help but chuckle. âYou can bet money on chess?â
Hera giggled and said, âThey wonât play with you if no money is
involved.â
Suddenly, a burly man dressed in a security uniform approached them with a gift box in hand. âMr. Calcraft, thereâs an elderly man named Lucius outside. He asked me to give you this box.â
It was the Coiled Dragon Flower sent by the owner of Peopleâs
Pharmacy.
Nash took the box and opened it. A faint fragrance wafted out. Inside was a withered light purple flower. There was a price tag inside the
box-3.48 million.
The owner of the pharmacy wanted him to remember this favor he
did for him.
â3.48 million?â
âWhat⦠What kind of flower is this?â Hera stared at the flower in the
box in astonishment. Even a hundred-year-old wild ginseng would not
cost this much, right?
âThis is called the Coiled Dragon Flower. It grows by absorbing
Celestial Spirit Energy as well as cosmic essence. Itâs extremely rare,â Nash explained with a smile.
Hera pouted. âIndeed, the world of martial artists is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us!â
Nash held Heraâs hand, and they walked toward the villa. âIf you donât understand, you can always ask me⦠Iâm sure I can explain
everything,â he offered gently.
Delighted, Hera hugged Nashâs arm and asked, âWhen will you teach
me martial arts?â
âLet me teach you a set of Dual Cultivation Heart Teachings another
day.â
âIs it powerful?â
âItâs powerful, butâ¦â
âBut what?â
âBut you can only practice it when Iâm around.â
âWhy?â
âIâll explain it to you later when the time comes.â
The two entered the living room. Maria was feeding medicine to
Melody.
Hera let go of Nashâs arm and went over, asking, âIs Melody awake?â
Chap 713
Maria nodded. âYes, she just woke up not long ago.â
Hera took the medicine bowl from Mariaâs hands and softly said, âLet
me do it.â
Melody was wrapped up like a mummy, with only her nose and eyes exposed to allow her to breathe and see. Upon hearing Heraâs voice, Melody asked hoarsely, âWhereâs your man?â
Nash stepped forward and asked, âIâm here. Are you in pain?â
Voice thin as a thread, she started, âMy⦠My cultivationâ¦â
She could not sense any true energy in her body. During the confrontation with Boris, most of Borisâ attacks had struck her energy
centers.
When she attempted suicide later, she realized they were severely damaged. She was worried that they were now ruined because she
could not sense any true energy.
âI sealed your cultivation temporarily. Iâll lift the seal when your injuries are almost healed,â Nash said. Worried that Melody might do something foolish, he sealed her energy centers with the Divine
Needles.
If she continued to use true energy while her energy centers were damaged, it would only lead to their complete collapse.
Melody nodded in understanding and took a sip of the medicine that
Hera fed her.
âTake care of Melody. I need to go to the underground alchemy room!â
