The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 387

Beauty cried out in a particularly alluring way as Daniel's needle prick sent an electrifying comfort through her body that made her entire being tingle with relief.

Her moan elicited immediate jealousy from Jessica, who turned to glare at Daniel, her voice cold with suspicion, "Idiot, what are you doing?"

"I'm treating Beauty with acupuncture! My needle just made her feel so comfortable. Didn’t you hear, honey? She sounded so joyful, so delightful just now."

"Delightful?" Jessica was glaring, her ire rising, twisting Daniel's arm sharply in frustration.

"Ah! Aaah!"

Daniel screamed out, louder than Beauty had before.

"Now, that's what sounds delightful!" Jessica remarked with satisfaction.

Daniel... was left speechless.

Meanwhile, Beauty found that the excruciating pain in her abdomen vanished after Daniel's needlework. She could feel a warm current swirling inside her belly – incredibly soothing and enjoyable.

Noticing Daniel putting away his needle, a somewhat yearning Beauty quickly asked, "Is that it? Treatment's done?"

"Yeah! I could've pricked you a few more times, but since my honey's upset and she twisted my arm, let's just go with one needle for now. But don't underestimate just one pricking; this one session should ensure you won't have cramps this month. As for next month, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

Beauty was very nearly gnashing her teeth in frustration, having felt unexpectedly comfortable with the brief treatment. She was loath to beg Daniel to continue, considering herself a goddess above such things. Instead, she gave Daniel a cold stare and scoffed, "Are you really a doctor?"

"Of course."

"Then you should be able to tell me why I've had two periods in a row."

Jessica, meanwhile, was fuming, her face turning a ghastly shade of bluish-green with anger. She grabbed a duster.

Smack!

She hit Daniel hard across his backside.

"Ow!" He yelped like a dog in pain.

"Honey, why are you hitting me again?"

"Hit you? Hitting you is the least of what you deserve! I'd kill you, you idiot, and wouldn't feel a bit of remorse! How dare you say such things in front of me!"
