Masuk"You're spouting nonsense!" Lauren snapped, her chest heaving with rage and her face flushing deep red."You don't have to keep entertaining those charlatans since the deputy head of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion is here. It's just a waste of time, Eden! You should send him away as a sign of respect to the Heavenly Medical Pavilion," Hera stated gravely.Lauren looked panicked. "Dr. Gray is genuinely skilled, Eden! I have personally observed his acupuncture techniques, and they are beyond anything I've ever witnessed. If he actually has the cure and you turn him away now, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!""Do you really think the deputy head of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion is beneath a mere quack, Lauren?" Hera snapped."I—""That's enough!" Eden cut them off, gesturing for them to stop. She then said faintly, "He can remain for the time being. He'll be an asset to Zolane if he is a genuine divine doctor, even if he can't cure my chills syndrome. However, he will be
Ashton already had a plan in mind to win over Eden. He couldn't allow Zolane to fall under the control of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion. He was aware that the battle between him and the Pavilion had officially commenced."Got it, Queen Eden!" Lauren and Hera exchanged a cold look before leading Ashton and Tobias into the reception hall to meet Eden.They had just stepped into the reception hall when a pleasant fragrance hit them, but it was immediately followed by a bone-chilling cold that swept through the room like a gale, causing those present to shiver in response."I've brought a miracle doctor from the Heavenly Medical Pavilion to cure you, Eden! You'll definitely recover from the chills syndrome!" Hera sounded genuinely earnest, underscored by profound anxiety."I appreciate the thought, Hera," Eden said as she slowly emerged, dressed in a knitted crew-neck sweater. She had a flawless oval face, skin as smooth as silk, and eyes that shone like the most exquisite pearls. Ho
"You're a lifesaver, doctor! I'm forever in your debt! What is your name? I, Keith Quigley, am a man of my word. If there is ever a time you need me, one word is all it takes. I would face any danger for you, no questions asked!" Keith declared, overcome with emotion."That won't be necessary. You should just go back and live a good life."Ashton looked over at the still-stunned Lauren after a brief pause and asked, "Do you think you can take me to Eden now?"Upon learning that someone from the Heavenly Medical Pavilion was on their way, Ashton knew he had to pick up the pace."You actually possess medical skills, huh?" Lauren nodded. "Alright, you can come with me! If you can really heal Queen Eden, you can ask for anything you want. You shall also enjoy total freedom within the borders of Zolane!"You'd better keep in mind that Queen Eden's chills syndrome has left her in constant pain and with a volatile temper. If you prove unable to treat her, you must expect the most severe
In that stretch of time, Lauren had nearly scoured the entirety of Zolane to find a divine doctor for Eden, meeting countless renowned doctors and arcane healers, only to be met with disappointment.She was Eden's best friend, so she was acutely aware of how severe the chills syndrome had become. She knew that if a way to suppress the chills syndrome wasn't discovered soon, Eden's death was imminent, plunging the entirety of Zolane into total chaos. She initially didn't expect much from the bounty notice that she had posted, her despair deepening when only frauds showed up. She consequently made it a requirement for any applicant to diagnose Mark, Kate, and Keith Quigley as a test of their abilities.She secretly harbored no expectations, convinced that no one could cure the three individuals, whose cases were considered hopeless by renowned doctors. She merely intended to take anyone who showed competent medical ability to treat Eden, desperate to explore every avenue.She hadn't
Mark had completely abandoned hope after several years, convinced that no one in the world could cure his condition. He was merely waiting for the tumor to spread and for death to finally come."Go stand up against the wall and stay perfectly still," Ashton stated firmly.Mark was momentarily taken aback and initially intended to decline the instruction. However, he found himself yielding to Ashton because of his overwhelming presence. Almost instinctively, he did as he was told, leaning against the wall and maintaining an upright posture.Ashton flicked his wrist, producing three silver needles that he drove into the acupoints on Mark's neck. He then utilized the Ninefold Arcane Technique and systematically severed the connections between the malignant tumor and the underlying bone and tissue.He moved with fluid precision, and before long, the onlookers noticed the growth on Mark's neck shrinking steadily, its sickly black hue beginning to dim. Mark's ashen complexion improved
In that instant, the surrounding people erupted into murmurs."Who is that guy? Why haven't I seen him around before? Does he have a death wish or something? If he can't cure Queen Eden's chills syndrome, he's done for! He's clearly too young and naive to know what he's getting into!""He's so young, so there's no way he's a divine doctor! He's probably just some attention-seeker! I've seen his type a thousand times before!""He's likely just another creep seeking an audience with Queen Eden! He's incredibly bold for someone just acting on lust!""I can't wait to see him humiliate himself!"Those in the vicinity voiced their derision in unison, as they had seen this exact scenario play out far too many times to take Ashton seriously."Who accepted the bounty?"It was then that a sharp, commanding voice with a magnetic edge cut through the air.A striking woman of martial bearing advanced, flanked by several martial arts experts. She had short black hair and spirited eyes. She
Ashton took in Roxy's clear, flawless face that was wearing a pleading, pitiful expression. For a moment, he was dazed. It was as if he'd been pulled back to that first instant he had ever laid eyes on her.In that moment, he finally understood how much of a sway a person's first love had on them.
"Lou, go on, thank Mr. Gray for sparing your life," Walter said.He was able to keep his cool, though he was just as shocked on the inside. He'd already deduced that Ashton would have a card up his sleeve if he dared to come barging his way into the Holt Crew's territory alone. However, he didn't t
Just one look from Sylvia made Calvin weak in the knees."Of course!" he said proudly."Does that mean you'll go out with me, Mr. Emerson?""Well, about that…"Feigning a sigh, he replied, "You're putting me on the spot here, Ms. Langley.""If it's so difficult for you, then we can forget about
Sylvia had just asked Ashton to take her. It was an extremely seductive thing to say, especially coming from someone as alluring as her. No man could resist such an invite.Before Ashton could even respond, Sylvia took matters into her own hands. She began undressing him with her hands, pressing he
