The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 927

“Stop stalling! Get on with treating Isla! If you can’t cure her, just wait and see how I punish you!”

Deep down, Avery actually hoped Daniel could cure Isla’s pain with just one needle.

After all, even though she looked down on him as a son-in-law, it’d be quite amusing if he did manage to cure her friend’s stomach pain with one shot!

Daniel picked up a needle and asked Isla, “Are you sure you want me to use this silver needle?”

“Absolutely!” Isla replied.

“All right!” Daniel pointed to the large sofa and said, “Isla, please lie down comfortably!”

“Lie down?” Isla looked skeptical and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“To give you acupuncture, I need to treat your stomach pain, so you have to lie on your stomach. That way, I can target the right area for treatment!” Daniel said earnestly.

Every word he spoke, every look he gave, not a hint of mischief was in sight!

“What area are you talking about?” Isla asked.

Fearing she wouldn’t understand if he described it, he pointed back at himself, saying, “Right here.”

“Fine, if you won’t accept the first plan, I’ll just stick a needle in your fingertip! It might hurt a bit, but it should still help. At least the pain from your finger won’t compare to your current stomach pain!”

As soon as Daniel said that, Isla shot him another icy glare.

“Ha!” After her cold laugh, she asked, “Hick, are you admitting you’ve been lying?”

Daniel looked dumbfounded. “Lying? What do you mean?”

“You just said you would stick a needle near my... you know you’re just trying to take advantage of me! Because you could simply fix this stomach pain by pricking my fingertip instead!”
