After Alex finished speaking, Maximilia unexpectedly grabbed his hand and cackled. “Go to my room.”
Without warning, she 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 she really wanted to choose a man, she 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 she casually asked, “What is your name?”
“Zechariah Hadid,” Alex replied casually.
Alex’s cultivation power was insufficient, but the medical skills in the Ultimate Book of Medicine were still available. And, he did not require Chi to cure Maximilia’s injury.
Earlier, Alex told Maximilia about her hidden disease and was ready to tell her why. Maximilia had only brought him to the room after he said to her that he 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 she stared at Alex without blinking.
