The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 296

"There’s no need for thanks. Just sit tight; I’ll do the acupuncture now," Daniel told Oliver as he had him sit back in a recliner. Then, Daniel pulled out his Needle of Seven Dragons.

Seeing the needle Daniel had taken out, Emily immediately scoffed. "Did you pick that needle from a trash can? It’s dingy and dirty. How can that thing treat anything? Are you joking? In my opinion, if you stick that into Grandpa's body, it'll definitely lead to a bacterial infection."

Daniel looked at Emily and advised her kindly. "After contracting an STD, you should keep your mouth shut. Your breath reeks of cow dung. It's somewhat bearable when you don’t speak, but once you open your mouth, it’s unbearable."

"Who has an STD? You’re the one with an STD!" Emily lashed out at Daniel.

"Whether you have an STD or not, you know best! You know what you've done. Sure, cow dung can relieve the itching, but it won’t cure your STD. Also, the red spots, although they’re only on your face for now, they’ll soon spread all over your body. Then, you'll need to smear cow dung all over. Right now, the dung can relieve your symptoms for about two hours. In three days, its effect will only last for one hour. After that, the itch-relief won’t even last an hour, maybe just half an hour."

"Country boy, stop your nonsense! You think I believe your ghost stories? You think I’m as gullible as Brittany, easily fooled by your tricks? These lies of yours would only fool idiots; you can't fool me!"

Daniel didn't bother with Emily and instead turned to Oliver with a cheerful smile. “Oliver, your granddaughter is calling me a swindler, saying that I’m fooling idiots. If you let me treat you, wouldn’t you be the fool, then?"

When Oliver heard this, he immediately grew angry. He pointed at Emily and scolded her loudly. "Shut your mouth! If you cause any more trouble and disturb Daniel from treating me, get out!"

"But Grandpa, he's a swindler!"

"Get out!"

Of course, Emily didn’t leave; she glared at Daniel with anger and said, "Country boy, I want to see what you're going to do. Grandpa's leg is so bad not even the doctors at big hospitals could heal it. You think you can? I don't believe it!"

"Whether I can heal it is not for me to say—facts speak louder than words. Just you watch."

Daniel picked up the Needle of Seven Dragons and inserted it into Oliver's leg. As soon as the needle penetrated, Oliver felt a cool sensation rushing into his leg as if some blockage in his veins had cleared. He suddenly felt lighter.

Daniel's hands moved swiftly, one needle following the next, inserting a total of nine needles into Oliver's leg.
