Chapter 866: Pain
Second Uncle might be a naggy uncle, but he was also Second Uncle who paid attention to details.
Usually, he spent most of his time prioritizing ways to make the old master happy. Doing business was only something that he managed occasionally when he was free.
Therefore, Zhong Nuannuan was very amazed. It was because she had supernatural abilities and had people like Feng Shengxuan, Bai Liyue, and Aiden to help her manage her business empire that she could do nothing.
However, Chi Zeyao was a sickly person. To be able to build such a big business empire in his spare time basically made him another crazy character.
After dinner, Zhong Nuannuan offered to treat Chi Zeyao.
Chi Zeyao’s entire body was covered in injuries, and Zhong Nuannuan had no idea where to start. She could only claim to help him clear up the blockage in his blood vessels on the surface of his skin.
As for his internal organs that were on the verge of collapse, she could not do anything for now.
Chi Zeyao did not look down on or question Zhong Nuannuan at all. Just like the old master, when Zhong Nuannuan said that she wanted to perform acupuncture on him, he immediately became a very cooperative patient and waited for the doctor to treat him. Even if the doctor did not have any medical qualifications, he was willing to become a guinea pig.
That was because he believed that Nuannuan would never joke around with his life or illness.
Since Chi Zeyao’s injuries were much more serious than Old Master Chi’s, Nuannuan took much longer to perform acupuncture on him.
Not only had Nuannuan administered acupuncture on his body to improve blood flow, but she also had to correct most of Chi Zeyao’s deformed joints. Her work was cut out for her.
To increase the effects more, Nuannuan even asked the old master to get her a set of those electric clips from the hospital. It was not enough for her to poke the needle into his acupuncture points—she also used electric clips to connect the needles.
Looking at his son who was in so much pain that his face turned pale and covered in sweat, the old master’s heart ached.
Nuannuan had a lot of special silver needles made for her, but she usually only had about 200 in her bracelet.
Since she knew she was heading to Emperor District, Nuannuan brought all the materials she needed.
Therefore, the old master could only bear with the pain as he looked at his son’s body, as well as his joints. More than 800 silver needles had been inserted into his body.
Even though it was possible that it would not be painful under Nuannuan’s professional wrists, never forget that she was treating Chi Zeyao. Furthermore, all of Zeyao’s joints were deformed, and even his knee joints were deteriorating. Therefore, it would definitely hurt a lot when she treated him.
Everything else aside, let us just talk about acupuncture. When Nuannuan performed acupuncture on the old master, she combined silver needles and fire cans. However, Zeyao not only needed silver needles and fire cans, but he also needed electricity.
Of course, Nuannuan could tell that Old Master was worried. She rea.s.sured him, “Grandpa, you don’t have to worry too much. Although this kind of treatment is more painful, it’s very good for Second Uncle’s health. It’s also very useful for his injuries. Grandpa, it’s better to have short-term pain rather than long-term pain.”
Chi Zeyao, who was lying on the bed, smiled as well. “Dad, I can still take this pain. Don’t think too little of me.”
When the old master heard that, he said proudly, “Of course! You’re Chi Yuancheng’s son, after all! How can my son be weak?”
The process of treating Chi Zeyao was very excruciatingly painful. However, when Zhong Nuannuan removed the electric clips from the silver needles, Chi Zeyao was surprised to find a flash of warmth that was flowing to his joints amidst the numbing pain that he constantly felt.
His joints, which had been constantly twisting in pain, had lost their former pain after getting awash by the warmth.
