A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 121

"We have to thank Demi later," Nigel declared seriously. While rubbing his stomach, he continued, "I wasn't exaggerating it or being polite; my stomach doesn't feel uncomfortable anymore. Besides, I feel stronger. How about you all?"

He looked at the other three who had undergone needling therapy earlier.

"I'm not in pain anymore. I also feel much stronger. This is amazing!" Connor declared in disbelief.

Wendy shook her head. "It doesn't hurt."

"Me too! Is needling therapy that powerful?" Sally was also shocked.

Unbeknownst to them, when Demi did needling therapy earlier, she transferred a small amount of spiritual energy to them. It was more powerful than food and stayed in the body for a week. Not only did it cause slight pains to disappear, but it also refreshed them.

"Haha! They look like scammers trying to advertise something to us, though they're speaking the truth!"

"Thank goodness! Connor isn't in pain anymore!"

"Thank goodness! Sally feels better now."

More comments flooded into the live stream.

"I think Connor is telling the truth. Before this, his lips and face were pale. Now, there's a rosy glow in his cheeks."

"I don't know if I'm mistaken, but he looks healthier than before."

"The needling therapy was helpful! It worked as well as eating supplements."

"We accused Demi wrongly just now. We should apologize to her."

"I'll apologize to Demi too."

"Yes, we have to say sorry to her!"

Then, everyone apologized to Demi in the comments.

…

At the same time, everyone surrounded Demi once she came back.

"Demi, where did you go?"

"Demi, why did you disappear in the morning?"

"We were worried for you."

"I'm sorry for making you all worry. I went to exercise and check on Mrs. Yale and the others. She texted me yesterday saying that everyone in her team had stomach aches. I only saw it when I got up today," Demi explained.

They didn't have much choice; the other items were very valuable!

…

At the same time, Nigel's team were talking to one another.

"Let us go back to our earlier conversation. Since the fire has been lit, one of us will have to watch it while the others find some food. What do you think?" Nigel asked.

"Let's get Ana to watch the fire for us," Thomas replied immediately.

Not only was he uncomfortable, but he was also cold and hungry. Still, he felt that Ana was in a worse situation, so she wouldn't be strong enough to find food. As such, she would feel more comfortable sitting by the fire.

Thomas regretted not speaking to Demi sooner—he should've asked her to do needling therapy on Ana and him too.

"Alright. Are you alright, Ana?" In the meantime, Nigel looked at Ana.

The latter's face and lips were pale.

"I…" she began.

Just when she was about to speak, she collapsed to the floor.
