The Medallion novel Chapter 1722

"Really? Or is it because you're afraid of being pestered by her?" Esteban asked with a snicker.

"Oh please, I'm not that charming," Rocky retorted. His face was on the verge of turning red.

"It's not up to you whether or not she thinks you're charming. She's your fiancee, boy. Be nice to her..."

"But I didn't do anything bad to her!" Fed up, Rocky couldn't help but lash out.

"Then cure her wounds because I'm going out tomorrow." Esteban finally went straight to the point and asked him to treat Valeria's wounds.

"Where are you going?"

"It's a secret!" Esteban said teasingly.

Rocky shook his head and let out a small smile before going straight to the pharmacy located in the depths of the Ghost Palace.

After a good night's rest, Valeria came to the Ghost Palace the moment she regained some of her strength.

"Is Master Esteban here?" She greeted Rocky with a question.

"He's out for a few days," Rocky replied.

"What? What about my treatment..." Valeria quickly cut off her question.

"Of course, I will be the one to treat you," Rocky said while taking a quick glance at her.

"What?" Valeria thought she misheard at first.

"Huh? What's the matter? Can't I treat you?" Rocky teased with a warm smile.

"No, it's just..." Valeria hesitated again.

"When did you become so shy and hesitant? It's not like you," he said frankly.

"Well, I just don't think your medical skills are good enough." Valeria racked her brain trying to find an excuse.

"Of course my medical skills are far from my master's, but I'm still more than capable to treat your wounds. If you don't want me to, then you're free to go."

Noticing Rocky letting her go that easily caught her off guard. Her face turned bright red in embarrassment, but she knew better than to let her pride get the better of her. She had to cure her injury as soon as possible, or else it would affect her cultivation.

After mustering some strength and courage, she finally managed to say, "Fine, you can heal my wounds!"

"Then lie down. I need to check your injury first." Rocky put a smile on his face.

After hesitating for a while, she finally lay down on the ice jade bed inside the pharmacy.

Rocky followed closely and walked to the side of the bed before releasing his spiritual power to cover Valeria. He then began to sense her body for any injuries.

"Your injury is more serious than expected. Especially after being eroded by the demonic aura last time, your meridians have been damaged..." he said while his eyes narrowed with concern.

"Can it be cured?" Valeria anxiously asked.

"Yes, but it will take some time. You may also need to soak in medicinal liquid." It only took a short while for Rocky to come up with a plan.

"Soak in the medicinal liquid? Is the procedure complicated?" She had many worries. It would be her first time undergoing such treatment, but she knew she had to do it. Even Elder Leticia couldn't cure her, so she was left with little to no choice.

"No, but while you are soaking in the liquid, I have to use needles on your back, so..." Rocky's foggy answer didn't help with her anxiety.

"Is there any other way?" Valeria understood what he meant.

"This is the only way to cure your wounds completely," Rocky answered seriously.

Valeria grew flustered. She was worried that Rocky might use the opportunity to take advantage of her.
