One needle each on both wrists, and one needle each on the Xuehai acupoints of both thighs.
These four needles, seemingly ordinary, were one of the acupuncture secret techniques recorded in the Wu Zi Jin Fang – the Tai Yi Zhen Zhen!
It possessed miraculous effects in detoxifying strange poisons and resisting allergies.
Amidst the already tearful cries, Zheng Youen distinctly felt a sudden lightness throughout her body, and even the eerie dark red spots faded rapidly at a visible speed.
"This... this this this..."
Staring at the four silver needles on her body in disbelief, Zheng Youen suddenly stammered:
"Is there really such miraculous acupuncture in Chinese medicine? I... I suddenly don't feel pain anymore."
Ji William, unwilling to accept it, retorted as a matter of course:
"Miss Youen, you must not believe Chen Xiao, because Chinese medicine is all a scam! I think the reason your pain suddenly disappeared is because the second dose of 3a type botulinum toxin has taken effect. Didn't you smell your body odor fading?"
Zheng Youen's eyes immediately lit up:
"Dr. William, how long will the body odor completely disappear?"
Ji William confidently held up three fingers:
"Three days at most!"
At this moment, Chen Xiao had already read the instructions for the 3a type botulinum toxin and shook his head with disdain:
"Let's not even talk about whether three days is enough to permanently get rid of body odor. Even if it is true, it's not as effective as my specially formulated Ba Ni Tang. And they dare to charge over sixty thousand for a single dose. This is simply daylight robbery!"
Zhou Wannong's eyes brightened:
"Ba Ni Tang can also get rid of body odor?"
Chen Xiao nodded slightly:
"Whether it's congenital cold evil or hereditary body odor, it's all caused by internal secretions. The main function of Ba Ni Tang is to remove harmful secretions from the body."
"Hmph! What Ba Ni Tang? Is it some snake oil sold by street vendors?"
Zheng Youen glared at Chen Xiao with contempt, then pulled out the four silver needles from her body and pulled Zhou Wannong to leave.
After getting into the car, she said casually:
"Wannong, you really should find a boyfriend who is a good match for you, otherwise, you'll easily be deceived by some scoundrels who are only good-looking but otherwise useless..."
Before Zheng Youen could finish speaking, Chen Xiao in the back seat immediately frowned and sneered:
"Miss Youen also thinks I'm good-looking? Not entirely blind, hehe."
"You..."
Zheng Youen turned her head and glared at Chen Xiao angrily, her almond-shaped eyes wide, but when she inadvertently saw the silver needles Chen Xiao was fiddling with, she immediately became timid and then pouted to Zhou Wannong:
"Wannong, hurry up and stop the car ahead. With this骗子 (piànzi - swindler) around, I'm not going to your place anymore, hmph!"
Glancing at the calm Chen Xiao through the rearview mirror, Zhou Wannong hesitated for only a moment before stopping the car.
"You... you guys..."
Zheng Youen was so angry her chest heaved, thinking:
"Could it be that Wannong's soul has truly been ensnared by this guy surnamed Chen? No! Letting these two be alone together on such a night is bound to cause big trouble!"
With that thought, she pouted, closed her eyes, and crossed her arms, looking as if she was determined to be difficult.
Upon arriving at Zhou Wannong's seaside villa, she became like a third wheel, constantly sticking to Chen Xiao and Zhou Wannong.
Chen Xiao was busy simmering the Ba Ni Tang and initially paid no attention to Zheng Youen. However, noticing that dark red spots were gradually reappearing on her body, he couldn't bear it and kindly reminded her:
"Miss Youen, you rashly pulled out my Tai Yi Zhen Zhen earlier, causing residual allergic medication in your body. If you don't want to endure the pain you experienced at the beauty salon again, it's best to drink two liang of high-proof white wine as soon as possible."
"White wine can also resist allergies? Chen Xiao, do you think I'm that easy to fool?"
Zheng Youen scoffed, then leaned in to whisper sarcastic remarks in Zhou Wannong's ear:
"Wannong, surnamed Chen is clearly trying to get rid of me so he can take advantage of you. Why haven't you kicked this scumbag out yet? Are you going to let him stay the night?"
Zhou Wannong clearly didn't quite believe Chen Xiao either, as it completely contradicted the medical principles she had diligently studied since childhood and even pursued abroad. She frowned and retorted:
"Chen Xiao, how can you prove that white wine has the effect of resisting allergies?"
Chen Xiao, while methodically brewing the Ba Ni Tang, answered without hesitation:
"When she experiences allergic reactions again, it will naturally be proven."
Zheng Youen was furious:
"Chen, if you curse me again, I'll tear you apart..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly showed a pained expression. The dark red spots that were barely noticeable a moment ago had spread all over her body in an instant, followed by symptoms of irregular heartbeat and difficulty breathing. Flustered, she quickly urged:
"Wannong, quickly call Dr. William..."
Even at this point, she still refused to believe that Chen Xiao's Tai Yi Zhen Zhen had saved her.
After a hasty diagnosis, Zhou Wannong's face turned pale:
"Youen, your symptoms are indeed very similar to a drug allergy that could be instantly fatal. At this point, let alone finding Dr. William, even rushing to the emergency room might not be in time. How about... how about we try anything, even a desperate measure?"
