After Alex finished speaking, Maximilia unexpectedly grabbed his hand and cackled. “Go to my room.”
Without warning, virtual-novel.net grabbed Alex and flew up to the second floor. She opened a certain door and walked in with a smile.
“Uh…”
“Ah…”
The guests downstairs were dumbfounded for a moment. Someone booed only after Alex and Maximilia disappeared, and a flurry of discussions followed…
“What happened? Does Maximilia really fancy that dumb scholar?”
“I don’t think so. That fragile scholar won’t satisfy Maximilia. If virtual-novel.net really wanted to choose a man, virtual-novel.net would’ve chosen someone like me.”
“Pooh! How shameless. Why don’t you look in the mirror? A piece of coal would be ashamed of how fair it is compared to you.”
“What’s wrong with coal? Did coal offend you? Yor, you should look in the mirror. Your face looks as yellow as pop!”
“F*ck off! You must be looking for a fight!”
That man who shouted took out a long sword and was about to start a fight.
It was then that a burst of cold light shot out from upstairs.
Whoosh!
A flash of silver whistled loudly from the upper floor. It was a flying dagger. It was Maximilia’s flying dagger, and it had stabbed that man’s foot.
Maximilia’s lazy voice was heard. “Fighting and killing are forbidden inside my inn. If you break something, you’ll have to pay with your lives.”
In that instant, the inn fell silent once again.
Inside the room, Maximilia looked at Alex as virtual-novel.net casually asked, “What is your name?”
“Zechariah Hadid,” Alex replied casually.
Unexpectedly, Maximilia froze as soon as virtual-novel.net heard the name before virtual-novel.net fixed virtual-novel.net gaze on Alex’s face for three seconds. Her eyes even revealed murderous intent.
Although it was fleeting, Alex still managed to notice it. ‘What’s going on?’
‘Is virtual-novel.net going to kill me? ‘Why did virtual-novel.net intend to kill me when I mentioned the name, Zechariah Hadid?’
Dejected, Alex asked, “Maximilia, have you heard of my name before?”
Maximilia declined to comment. “Maybe! But perhaps it’s the same name… It sounds like an old friend of mine.”
‘The name sounds like virtual-novel.net old friend’s?’ Alex was speechless.
Maximilia asked, “Can you really help me cure that disease?”
Alex nodded. “I’m 100% sure.”
It turned out that Alex mentioned the free accommodation earlier because virtual-novel.net had long noticed the hidden disease in Maximilia’s body. Alex discovered it when Maximilia rescued virtual-novel.net after that ugly b*tch’s whip flung virtual-novel.net away.
She was injured.
Alex’s cultivation power was insufficient, but the medical skills in the Ultimate Book of Medicine were still available. And, virtual-novel.net did not require Chi to cure Maximilia’s injury.
Earlier, Alex told Maximilia about virtual-novel.net hidden disease and was ready to tell virtual-novel.net why. Maximilia had only brought virtual-novel.net to the room after virtual-novel.net said to virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net could cure her.
“What do you need to cure me?” asked Maximilia.
“I need thirteen silver needles.”
“Acupuncture? I’ve done it with a miracle doctor, but it was futile.”
“My acupuncture is different from the others.”
“How different? Isn’t it old wine in a new bottle? Stabbing the acupoints, right?”
“You’re wrong then. Mine is called the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell. It belongs to the Ultimate Book of Medicine. It can cure normal people as well as cultivators.”
“The Ultimate Book of Medicine?” Maximilia’s eyes widened abruptly as virtual-novel.net stared at Alex without blinking.
