Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 882 Treating Wounds

With the lead of the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, it wasn't long before Rocky, still bearing Alyssa in his arms, found a cave for sanctuary. It was tucked away under dense bushes beneath the foot of a cliff. Opening the Magic Spiritual Space, Rocky then sent back the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, before he turned back and took Alyssa into the safety of the cave.

As they entered the cavernous space, Alyssa grasped his arm with a gasp, "Wait!"

Rocky instantly stopped and looked down at the figure in his arms.

Taking a sharp bite from her own finger to draw blood, Alyssa set down an enchantment around the cave entrance. And upon setting that safety barrier down, she let out a small cough before finally collapsing back against Rocky, limp and completely drained.

Rocky was terrified upon seeing her pass out like that. He rushed further into the cave and laid her down on the flattest space he could find. Alyssa was covered in blood and bruises, completely beaten.

“She's hurt just about everywhere and she's covered in injuries... I can't even imagine the kind of pain she's in. I don't even know how she managed to hold up this long, * Rocky murmured to himself as he assessed her situation with wide eyes. He couldn't believe Alyssa's determination.

He then began settling things into the cave around her. He opened the Magic Spiritual Space once more to enter his lab and fetch some things for medical use: his sutures, alcohol, cotton gauze, and other items set to treat and disinfect prior to surgery. He was almost about to head back when something came to mind, and he fetched a vessel that had been tucked away before he made his way back. Leaving the lab, he exited out of the Magic Spiritual Space.

Before he set about to treating Alyssa's wounds, Rocky extracted a small drop of blood from her by pricking her finger. He caught the drop of blood into the vessel and sealed it.

'Saving you is no easy task, you know. You owe me for this." He rebuked her in his heart even as he glanced over at her. Even so, the corners of his mouth twitched. Under normal circumstances, any man who had seen her like this couldn't go on to live in this world.

However, Rocky was not someone who would take advantage of a woman in this condition. And he certainly wouldn't with Alyssa, who was particularly volatile. If he had any intention of remaining alive after she woke up, then he'd better try not to see her. Otherwise, he might die because of this act.

Rocky ensured that every tool he intended to use was sterilized before he would proceed with surgery. He disinfected all the wounds he could find on Alyssa's body using alcohol. Then he painstakingly sutured up the more serious injuries. Finally, he covered them in gauze to keep them clean. Taking two drops of the magical saliva, he fed them carefully to Alyssa. Then, he used his technique of Holy Life Saving Hand and unblocked Alyssa’s meridians to revive her blood circulation.

As he dredged her meridians, seeking out more blockages, Rocky realized how much more serious the extent of Alyssa's injuries were compared to how it looked on the outside. Her body and spiritual power were at a complete state of disarray. And even with his considerable powers, he wouldn't be able to rein in the rampant spiritual power going haywire in her body. But if he didn't intervene, there was no telling how much worse this could've gone for her. Especially with two people outside hunting her down. It was imperative for Alyssa to awaken again as soon as possible. Rocky did everything he could do, but even after all of this, she showed no signs of awakening. So all he could do now was to turn around and sit, closing his eyes. He could only wait now, with the hope that she would awaken soon.

It was two hours later before Rocky heard a groan behind him. Opening his eyes, he turned to see Alyssa awakening like a princess from a storybook, slowly opening her eyes. And the instant she did, he almost felt as though a light had returned to heaven and earth itself.

"Are you awake...?" Rocky asked tenderly, watching her.

Alyssa's eyes were bleary before they finally focused on Rocky. Her gaze began clearing in recognition, and she carefully sat up, looking around at her surroundings. Finally, she dropped her eyes to her injury, and found it treated and wrapped in gauze that was now stained dark red.

She looked up at Rocky instantly, her eyes like shards of flint. There was every likelihood that her first order of business would be to kill him.

But as she stared at him, her eyes clearly livid, she made no move to attack him. She just stared angrily at him.

Seeing that she wasn't about to kill him anytime soon, or maybe cut out his eyes or lop off his hands, Rocky sat puzzled instead. He wondered if she was more injured than he thought, or if she wasn't quite up to murdering him just yet. “She's really going to be quiet? Seriously?" he asked himself.

"What are you still doing here?" Alyssa finally demanded, her tone arrogant and disdainful as she addressed him the way a princess addressed a peon. She wasn't angry at Rocky because he'd healed her. She may be, in many ways, quite unreasonable, but she couldn't possibly overlook what Rocky had just done for her by healing her the way he did. Were it not for him, after all, she would already be in the clutches of the two men from the Heavenly Demon Clan. No, there certainly was no reason to be angry. In fact, she had every reason to thank Rocky. But there were just some things that pride would never allow.
