Floriana Sabina held onto Rant Valo's wrist in worry. She closed her eyes and used her powerful Divine Sense to sweep and scan the inside of Rant Valo's body. The moment she did so, she saw the damaged core of Rant Valo.

"This is a Mana Backlash."

Floriana Sabina grimaced.

"A Mana Backlash?"

Veia repeated in confusion. She has never heard of that term before.

"It happens when the cultivator fails their magic technique midway. The cultivator would suffer severe internal injuries because of it."

A Mana Backlash is very dangerous because the internal injuries caused by it are very hard to heal.

"T-Then, Master?"

Veia gulped in worry. She was worried about her master's health. Tears even started to well up in her eyes.

"He'll be okay. I'm here."

Floriana Sabina assured Veia. Floriana Sabina wouldn't let Rant Valo die like this. She would regret it for the rest of her life if she allowed him to die. She hadn't even boasted to others about how great her disciple was.

Floriana Sabina's heart was beating like a drum. Even for her, internal injuries are very hard to cure. But fortunately, she has a Grade 8 Medicinal Pill.

A pill bottle appeared in Floriana Sabina's hand. She shook it and out came a single pill. She fed it into Rant Valo's mouth but he wasn't swallowing it. Floriana Sabina turned her head to look at Veia, but she gritted her teeth instead.

It would be a disaster if she allowed Veia to do what she was about to do. Floriana Sabina bolstered herself. She opened a bottle gourd and drank the water inside it, but she didn't swallow it yet. She then popped the pill inside her mouth.

Floriana Sabina carefully lifted Rant Valo. She closed her eyes before locking her lips with Rant Valo. She pushed the pill down Rant Valo's throat using the water.

Rant Valo's body didn't react but silently took the water and pill inside his stomach.

Rant Valo's consciousness who was still having trouble realized that a powerful surge of energy entered his body. It flooded the damaged parts of his body and healed it in the blink of an eye. Rant Valo looked around in awe.

He watched as the strings of mana that connected his core to his body were reconnected. Even the ruptured mana channels inside his body were healed. There was no injury that was left untouched. That included the scar marks that were left on his body from his childhood.

Rant Valo opened his eyes and rapidly breathed in fresh air. He was hyperventilating as being that close to death scared him out of his wits.

"Master!"

Veia dove into Rant Valo and embraced him tightly. She was really worried that she would lose her master then and there. She didn't even have the chance to do it with him yet.

As for Floriana Sabina, she was panting. Her heart beat rapidly as she realized that she just gave her first kiss to her disciple. She couldn't help but touch her lips in a daze.

"Master Floriana, thank you."

Rant Valo sincerely thanked Floriana Sabina. He knew that it could only be her that could have helped him heal his internal injuries.

"Just like I said, I will not be unfair to you, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina smiled at him gently.

Rant Valo's eyes looked back at her with warmth. She was really the best master in the world.

"Master, do you feel pain anywhere?"

Veia asked Rant Valo as she looked him up and down. She was acting just like a wife who found her husband wounded.

"I'm already okay now, Veia."

Rant Valo smiled wryly, seeing that Veia was still concerned about him. He couldn't believe that this would ever happen to him if he was still back in the village.

"Really? I'm relieved…"

Veia sighed loudly. She slumped her body on Rant Valo's body and sniffled. Soon, tears were leaking from her eyes, and her snot was already on Rant Valo's long robe.

"V-Veia?"

Rant Valo called out to her in worry.

"Sniff, Sniff… Master, don't scare me like that…"

Veia cried with her all. After the adrenaline rush, her heart couldn't help but weaken in Rant Valo's embrace. She was entirely all over him. Her heart wouldn't be able to take it if Rant Valo died.

"I'm sorry, Veia. It won't happen again."

Rant Valo rubbed her back to ease her. There was a calm smile on his face. Even though her snot was already all over his long robe, Rant Valo didn't mind. As long as she was able to release her emotions, it was fine.

"Promise?"

Veia lifted her head and looked at Rant Valo with upturned eyes. She didn't want it to happen again.

"Of course."

Rant Valo smiled seeing her like that. He rubbed her head and she purred just like a cat as she accepted him.

"Alright, enough of that, lovebirds."

Floriana Sabina interrupted them. There was a sour expression on her face. For some reason, seeing Veia and Rant Valo like that irked her. There was this unknown emotion that was inside her heart.

"Y-Yeah…"

Rant Valo pushed Veia away slowly. Her snot was very visible on his long robe. Rant Valo couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"Master, let me drink your blood first!"

Veia demanded. She hadn't drunk Rant Valo's blood for almost four days now. Her tummy was already yearning for it.

"Alright, Alright."

Rant Valo conceded with her demands. Floriana Sabina looked at them with deadpan eyes before passing a bowl to Rant Valo.

Rant Valo cut his wrist before filling the bowl with his blood. Veia waited for it in anticipation. She sniffed the smell of Rant Valo's blood in the air. Her mouth opened wide as she started to drool.

"Here."

Rant Valo passed the bowl to Veia. He applied some medicinal paste on his wound which quickly healed it.

"Thank you, Master!"

Veia quickly downed the blood into her throat. There was no hesitation from her. A few seconds later, she released a sigh of satisfaction.

"Hahh… Master's blood is so good."

Veia's eyes clouded as she became intoxicated from Rant Valo's blood. Her succubus instincts were awakened as she started to look at Rant Valo weirdly.

"Master…"

Veia licked her lips seductively. She was like a predator that was about to pounce on her prey.
