Chapter 1728 He Was Healing Her
"Ha-ha! It seems that you are really determined to make me fall in love with you no matter what," Rocky
said in a teasing tone as he chuckled.
"Yes! I am serious about that. Now, tell me your answer," Gloria demanded to know his answer as she
wore a serious expression on her face.
"Well, maybe. We''ll see..." Rocky answered ambiguously before he turned around again and left.
After Rocky got out of the hall, Adrian and Gloria were left alone, and they began to ponder and
discuss the issue at hand.
"So, what do you think of his n?" Adrian asked as he stroked his chin.
"It is like a double-edged sword. Once it seeds, it will really solve our problem and erase the biggest
threat of all—the Primitive Fief. However, if it fails and the Primitive Fief discovers about this n, we
will fall into an even greater passive position. But of course, it is really tempting," Gloria replied as she
analyzed every angle of Rocky''s proposal.
"Yes, that is true. The n is too risky, but at the same time, it''s very intriguing! It feels like I will always
wonder what could have happened if we did not agree to it." Although Adrian had always been
cautious, he felt a strong urge to lean into it.
"Father, it''s up to you to make the decision. Whatever you decide on, I will respect it." Gloria was well-
aware that this matter should be dealt with seriously and with the utmost caution since it would affect
the future of the entire Genie Fief. There was no room to be rash at this point.
"All right. Let me think it over. For now, you go and take a rest." Adrian then waved his hand and
gestured to his daughter that she could leave.
Meanwhile, Rocky had already returned to the Ghost Pce. However, before he could even take a
seat, Valeria came rushing in.
"I heard that the leader of the Genie Fief brought his daughter here to make you marry her. Is that
true?"
"Well, yes. The news really travels that fast, huh?" Rocky said with a faint smile.
"What?! Shame on them!" Upon hearing it from Rocky''s own mouth, Valeria instantly grew furious.
"Can you me them? In order to win in the end, they need to do whatever they can. Moreover, since
Miss Gloria''s name is in the engagement covenant, they are actually eligible to demand a marriage,"
Rocky said indifferently.
"Humph! I think you just really want to marry her!" Valeria was instantly pissed off that Rocky did not
seem to side with her. It was as if she was very jealous that her fiance entertained the thought of being
married to another woman.
"Hey! Any gentleman can fall in love with such a beautifuldy as Miss Gloria. She''s very charming and
gorgeous, so anyone would want to marry her," Rocky immediately teased as he found it funny to make
Valeria angrier.
"I knew it. All men are just the same!" Valeria snorted coldly as she rolled her eye at Rocky.
"However, I am not that easy to win over. Of course, I have set a condition if they want to proceed with
the marriage. And unless the leader of the Genie Fief agrees to it, there will be no wedding," Rocky
said as he let out a cunning smile.
"Do you really n to ally yourselves with the Genie Fief? You are going to be in big trouble because
my adoptive mother will never agree to that!" Valeria reminded sternly.
"I am well aware of that. That is why I made an impossible demand. No matter how desperate they are,
the leader of the Genie Fief will not agree to it," Rocky replied.
"What did you say to them?" Valeria asked out of curiosity. She could not guess what possible condition
Rocky could have set that made him so confident.
"I said that if Miss Gloria really wants to marry me, she''ll have to break all her ties to her family and the
Genie Fief," Rocky said with a smirk.
Upon hearing Rocky''s words, Valeria was rendered speechless. It never crossed her mind that Rocky
would be capable of issuing such a cruel request. Of course, no one in their right state of mind would
agree that his daughter would be permanently taken away from him. In other words, Adrian would
never consider agreeing with Rocky''s demands.
"I must admit that you really are something. It seems that you don''t like her that much," Valeria softly
mumbled. Somehow, she felt a little better after knowing that Rocky also did not want to be married to
Gloria.
"Well, I do like her. But that isn''t important since I am the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief. I have to put
the overall interests of our fief at all times," Rocky said as he convinced Valeria that he was on their
side.
"If that is the case, then the Genie Fief should give up soon enough, right?" Valeria asked in a rather
hopeful tone.
"Well, that is not necessarily the case. Because of what I did, there is a huge tendency that the leader
of the Genie Fief would use this as an excuse to go against us," Rocky replied as he shook his head.
"Humph! How dare he?" Valeria quickly shouted.
"As I said, he is the leader of a fief. Of course, he will do anything convenient for them," Rocky said
with a shrug.
"You don''t have to worry about a thing. Since our fiefs are officially allied now, once they try anything to
hurt you or the Ghost Fief, the Flower Fief won''t just stand and do nothing," Valeria seriously dered.
"Well, I am very relieved to hear that. With you on my side, I don''t have to be afraid of the Genie Fief at
all," Rocky replied with a smile. However, he only said it to her to make her feel at ease and let down
her guard.
"So... Shall we continue my treatment today?" Valeria asked shyly.
"Of course. If you are free right now, we can do it at once," Rocky said as he nodded.
"All right then. I guess I''ll be in your care..."
"Just wait a moment as I prepare the medicine." Immediately after, Rocky left her for a while and
entered the pharmacy.
Meanwhile, Gloria could not help but pace back and forth right after Rocky left. Since she also couldn''t
stand being alone, she eventually sneaked out of the guest hall and went to the Ghost Pce to find
Rocky.
However, when she arrived at the pce, she discovered that an array was set up around the building.
Normally, ordinary people had no chance of breaking into that array. But since Gloria''s family was
proficient in using arrays and enchantment skills, she was able to easily get past it. In fact, no kind of
sealing enchantment or array would be hard to break for them. At the same time, the sealing
enchantment of her family was very famous in the entire Shura Race.
Hence, with just a wave of her hand, a stream of spiritual power surged out from her and instantly
disintegrated the barrier upon contact.
"Why did that guy need to set up a barrier? I wonder what he''s doing inside. Humph! Maybe this is my
chance to find out about his dirty secrets," Gloria murmured to herself as she revealed a devious smile.
As she sneaked further into the Ghost Pce, she saw all kinds of corpses in the front hall, making her
feel nauseated.
Then, after passing through the front hall, she finally reached the inner hall but saw that no one was
currently in it.
"There''s no one here... Where the hell is that guy?" Seeing that Rocky was not there, Gloria decided
that she would just leave. However, she suddenly heard some noises from the pharmacy that was at
the end of the hall. She was curious as to what was going on in there, so she went and took a look.
As she walked through the door of the pharmacy, she spotted two shadows behind a screen. From
where she stood, she could see that the shadows of the figures were actually intertwined as if they
were doing something intimate.
"Is that Odin? Don''t tell me that he is cheating behind my back!" Of course, Gloria could not help but be
suspicious. Thus, she grew more determined to know who these people were and what they were
doing. Without wasting any time, she walked towards the screen and poked her head to look at the
other side.
The moment she saw the scene on the other side of the screen, Gloria''s eyes widened in shock.
Valeria was actually sitting in a bathtub while Rocky was moving his hands back and forth on her back.
''This woman is so despicable! How dare she seduce my man this way?!'' Gloria thought to herself as
she instantly grew jealous and furious. In her anger, she immediately overturned the screen and
showed herself to them.
Upon hearing that the screen fell to the ground, Rocky, who was healing Valeria''s wounds, was so
surprised to see Gloria there. He was sure that he had properly up an enchantment barrier outside of
the Ghost Pce. Thus, he could not help but wonder how she was able to barge in there.
Valeria, who was still naked in the bathtub, was even more shocked. Somehow, she had a bizarre
feeling that the situation was simr to her being caught cheating in bed.
"Valeria! Shame on you! How could you seduce my man? Don''t you have any decency?" Gloria yelled
angrily.

"What? Your man?" Valeria snapped back, feeling very unhappy about her usations.
"Yes! I am his fiancee. So, I have all the rights to question you!" Gloria continued.
"So what? I am his fiancee too!" Valeria retorted coldly.
"I d-don''t care! Anyway, how dare you seduce him by showing your naked body to him?" Gloria
stammered for a bit but quickly found a way to reverse the tables again.
"Huh? Why would I even want to seduce this guy?" Valeria scoffed as her eyes widened in annoyance.
"Oh,e on! You don''t have any clothes, and you let him touch you! What are those for if you aren''t
seducing him?" It seemed that Gloria would not back down no matter what.
"You''re so malicious! He is just healing my wounds!" Valeria retorted as she almost exploded in
embarrassment.
"What kind ofme excuse is that?! Do you need to take off all your clothes just for him to heal your
wounds?" Gloria asked as she raised her brows, obviously not believing any words that Valeria said.
