Chapter 1817 Very Attractive

Indeed, what Rocky offered was very tempting. In fact, after hearing what he said, Valeria immediately
fell into deep thought and analyzed the pros and cons. She knew that it was too risky. If he failed, then
everything would be all for naught. But if he succeeded in the end, she and the Flower Fief would reap
unimaginable benefits.

"Think about it first. I know that I can't demand an answer from you right away. Anyway, I will head out
now to prepare for our departure back to the Shura Race." Then, Rocky stood up and was about to
leave, leaving Valeria time to think about his offer.

"Okay. I will think about it. Just so we're clear, even if I end up not agreeing, I will still keep your secret.
I owe you my life, so it's the least that I can do. In the near future, I will do my best to repay you,"
Valeria said firmly. She did not agree with Rocky's proposal right away, but she wanted him to know
that his secret was safe with her.

"You don't need to repay me with anything. All I want is for you to be yourself."

"You know what? If I knew that you are so strong, I wouldn't have fought so hard. After all, even if I got
to the final battle and faced you, the result would still be the same. You will be the ultimate winner."
Valeria sighed.

"Don't be like that. Sometimes you could only be strengthened after you experienced failures. For now,
I have defeated Israel and avenged you. Next time, I want you to avenge yourself. I believe that you
can do it."

"Thank you. I will do my best to recover quickly." Valeria finally let out a faint smile. She was actually
very grateful to Rocky for saving her life and for believing that she could get back up once more.

"All right. Take more rest after I leave." Then, Rocky waved his hand and eventually went out of her
room.



Outside, Eunice and Carla were talking about something while waiting for Rocky. The moment they
saw him go out, they hurriedly approached him.

"So, what were you talking about with Valeria just now?" Eunice knew that if Rocky requested to talk
with someone in a serious tone, it meant that it should be something important. Hence, she wanted to
know what they talked about.

"I already told her that Basil is my true identity," Rocky replied indifferently.

"What? Have you gone mad? She is still a Godly Genius! What if she tells the other Godly Geniuses
about this secret of yours?" As expected, the two women instantly became frantic upon hearing that
Rocky willingly revealed his true identity to Valeria. Although Rocky and Valeria had a temporary
alliance, once she betrayed him, he would definitely be in a bad position.

"Don't worry. She has no reason to betray me. I believe that she's honest enough to keep her word
about keeping my secret," Rocky said with absolute certainty.

"How can you be so sure? You have taken this too far!" Carla still complained, obviously worried about
what might happen to Rocky.

"You guys are such worrywarts. I have to tell her my secret because it is a part of my plan. Anyway, I
have to get ready. I will go back to the Shura Race as soon as possible because the royal family has
already ordered some troops to attack the territories of the human race and the spiritual race. This is
too soon, so I also have to fast track my plan," Rocky said, letting out a frown.

"Oh, that's right. Chief Colton asked me to accompany you once you head back to the Shura Race,"
Eunice reminded Rocky.

"Then, I'll come with you too!" Carla instantly volunteered.



Eunice and Rocky immediately looked at each other, not expecting that Carla would suddenly want to
go with them. He shook his head and said, "No, you can't come with us. It's already too risky to take
Eunice with me. If the two of you go there, the chance of your identities being exposed will get higher."

"But—"

Carla still wanted to argue but Rocky interrupted her. "Don't worry. We'll be just fine. Besides, we won't
be gone for too long. We will meet again soon, although next time, it might be on the battlefield.
Moreover, there is a huge chance that at that time, the human race will see me as an enemy. But of
course, that will just be temporary."

"Okay. Be careful." Knowing that Rocky would not change his mind no matter what, Carla could only
ask him to take care of himself.

After that, Carla eventually left. At the same time, Eunice returned to the Di Clan to make some
preparations before they began their trip back to the Shura Race.

As for Rocky, he actually went to find Gloria so that she could recover her identity as his apprentice
pharmacist and return to the Shura Race with him.

However, to his surprise, he could not find her anywhere even after searching for a long time. It
seemed that she had already gone back ahead of him. Although he did not really understand why she
would do this, Rocky had no choice but to return without her.

When all of their preparations were done, Rocky and Eunice met and went to see Valeria. After picking
Valeria up in her room, they finally headed back to the Shura Race.

On the way, Rocky arranged Eunice's disguise so that she could fit right in like an ordinary woman from
the Shura Race. There were actually no big changes in her overall appearance, so it could be said that
Eunice would appear as a first-class beauty in the Shura Race.



"Hmm. Although you already look like a member of the Shura Race, thanks to your disguise, I'm afraid
that most of your behaviors would not pass as a member of our race. If we do nothing, people will
easily find you suspicious," Valeria pointed out.

"Then, you can teach me how to act like an ordinary woman from the Shura Race! Don't worry. I'm a
fast learner!" Eunice said excitedly, holding Valeria's hands.

Valeria hesitated at first. After all, she was not sure whether she should teach a human to act as a
member of the Shura Race. However, she also owed Eunice a lot. She was the one who took care of
her when she was badly injured. Moreover, she knew that the reason why Eunice was coming to the
Shura Race was that she could assist Rocky in his plans. If Eunice's identity was exposed, Rocky's
plans would instantly go south. Both Eunice and Rocky were the reason why she could still recover, so
she also wanted to repay their kindness in whatever way she could.

Consequently, Valeria agreed to be Eunice's teacher. Hence, they utilized the days while they were on
the trip back to teach Eunice everything related to the Shura Race.

Then, eight days later, the three of them finally arrived at the Ghost Fief.

As soon as Rocky and the others entered Gilbert's mansion, they were immediately welcomed by
Gilbert, Vivian, Elder Leticia, and the elders of the Ghost Fief.

"Good! You guys are finally back!" Gilbert greeted in a cheerful tone.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, sir. I was not able to get the first place in this task this time." Although he
won the contest as Basil, it was not counted. So, he had to apologize to Gilbert.

"It's not a big deal. After all, it's just a training quest. The important thing is that you were able to come
back safely." Gilbert really didn't mind at all. Although Rocky was not able to win the contest, the result
of this trial was still better than expected. The Godly Geniuses of the Blood Fief and the Elite Fief both



died, which meant they had two fewer opponents to deal with. Moreover, he also heard that Quentin,
the Godly Genius of the Purgatory Fief, suffered severe injuries. Overall, it was still a win for them.

"Leader Gilbert, Elder Leticia, we have returned." With Eunice assisting her, Valeria also came forward
and greeted them.

"Valeria, you don't look very good. Are you all right?" Gilbert noticed Valeria's pained movements.

"You look seriously injured. How are you feeling?" Elder Leticia also looked at Valeria and showed a
nervous expression.

"Valeria was actually badly injured during her battle against Israel. As a result, her meridians were
seriously damaged. I was able to apply my master's unique healing skill to repair her meridians, but
until she gets better, she won't be able to use her spiritual power," Rocky explained on behalf of
Valeria.

"I see. Then, she won't be able to participate in the next trial." For Elder Leticia, it was a bit regretful
that Valeria could not participate in the next trial, but she was actually more worried about the injuries
she incurred.

"I'm afraid that is the case," Rocky answered in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Elder Leticia. I will send Valeria to Esteban later. If he is the one to personally apply his
medical skills, I believe that she will recover faster," Gilbert butted in and tried to comfort Elder Leticia.

Obviously, Elder Leticia could only accept the reality and hope that Valeria would be cured as soon as
possible.

"By the way, Odin, who is this girl? I don't think I've seen her before." At this time, Gilbert finally noticed
Eunice and asked about her.



"Oh, she's a maid that I bought after we returned here in the Ghost Fief. Since Valeria was seriously
injured, she would need someone to assist her. Although I am her fiance, I am still a man. Hence, it
would be more convenient if a maid could take care of her." It seemed that Rocky had already thought
of the perfect excuse even before they entered the Ghost Fief.

"I see. But where is your apprentice pharmacist? I haven't seen him yet," Gilbert asked, confused.

"I permitted him to go back to his hometown and visit his family for a while. He should be back soon
enough," Rocky answered calmly. However, the truth was that he still didn't know what exactly
happened to Gloria or where she went.

"Well, I guess that is enough for now. I know that you must be tired after such a long journey. Go back
first and have a good rest!" Gilbert declared.

Right after that, Elder Leticia ordered someone to accompany Valeria back to their place.

At the same time, Rocky took Eunice to the Ghost Palace.
