The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 926

Daniel didn't want to waste time arguing with Isla; he'd already figured out she wouldn’t understand anyway.

So, he shifted the topic. “Isla, let’s take care of that stomach pain first. Otherwise, you might end up bleeding again!”

Isla glanced at the Needle of Seven Dragons in Daniel's hand and grew increasingly disgusted. Finally, she frowned and said, “That Needle of Seven Dragons doesn’t work for me; it’s too dirty and gross. If you’re going to give me acupuncture, you need to use a cleaner needle. So, I’ll have someone bring in a set of new needles!”

Isla was a bit of a neat freak, and that Needle of Seven Dragons looked filthy. Who knows how many people had used it before?

The thought of that needle having touched so many people before being stuck in her body was unbearable. That absolutely couldn’t happen!

So yes, she could accept Daniel giving her acupuncture—just a small prick in her skin wouldn’t be the end of the world. But she specifically insisted on using a clean, brand-new silver needle that no one had ever used.

Before long, Isla summoned someone to bring in a new set of silver needles.

She pointed to the pristine, high-quality, freshly sterilized silver needles and said, “Use this, hick.”

Daniel looked at the silver needle and smiled, reminding her, “Isla, this silver needle is indeed new and looks clean. But it’s just an ordinary needle. I can use it to cure your stomach pain with one prick, but it might hurt a bit because the needle head is quite large. You’ll need to endure it!”

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, Avery had already reached for his waist and gave it a hard pinch.

“Ah... Ahhh...”

He yelped in exaggerated pain!

“Mom, why are you pinching me? That hurts so much! You’re gonna kill me!” Daniel exclaimed, clutching his side.
