163 Curing the Lunaite Disease (2/2)

”Ah?” Zin Shi was pulled back into her reality when she heard her name.

”I said, lend me a needle.” Jin Rou repeated.

”Ah! Right right, comi—” Zin Shi was interrupted by Senior Liu saying, ”Are you sure you want to lend him, Little Zin? Just let me remind you that once you do it and something happened that worsen the condition of the child, you will also take responsibility as you are involved.”

Zin Shi's steps came into pause as she heard these words that made her tremble. This was a fact that once she did, she could never return again. What if Jin Rou pull her down with him? The guild would probably abandon her as her clan did. Her thoughts were fighting of what she should do. What's the right thing to do?

”You'll be okay, I assure you that.” Jin Rou said when he saw that Zin Shi was hesitating. He understood her situation because after all, who would dare to bet on someone you don't fully know?

After a minute of thinking, she gritted her teeth and gave a box of needles to Jin Rou. She did not know why but her guts told her to bet on Jin Rou. Whatever happened after this, she would not regret her decision.

”How foolish.” Senior Liu harrumphed in disdain, shaking his head.

”You are the one who's foolish.” Jin Rou answered, ”Let me open your ignorant eyes.”

Whooosh!

Jin Rou picked a small needle and circulated a tiny bit of his essence qi to control the needle. After which, he pierced it right into the little boy's forehead. Soon, the little boy convulsed violently which made her mother in a panic.

”Ignorant! That is an acupoint that you should have not touched! Are you trying to kill him?” Senior Liu said in a concerned expression but happy in his heart. This man was seeking his own demise, really.

”What's happening with my son? What did you do?!” The woman got agitated and shook Jin Rou several times. Judging from the reaction of her son, it seemed that he was about to die at any moment.

Zin Shi, who bet on Jin Rou, got a pale expression as she realized what would happen to her now. Just when she was about to lose all hope, Jin Rou said with a confident voice,

”Rest assured. Nothing will happen to your son.”

”What nothing will happen? Idiot. Look at what you—” Just when Senior Liu wanted to rub the wound by salt, the little boy stopped convulsing suddenly and relaxed. The red marks were disappearing little by little as he regained the rosy color of his innocent face. Red smokes were coming out of his body as if it was being evaporated. His breathing went normal and was sleeping soundly as if he had no disease, to begin with.
