Chapter 23 I Am Going To Treat Your Injuries
He had relaxed his stare earlier, but now he focused once more on the frosted glass of the bathroom….
He was really impressed – this girl was very bold indeed. She had the guts to not just strike a deal with him, but she even broke the bathroom door lock and then went ahead to bathe in front of a dangerous man. What was her confidence based on? Kungfu? But he had a gun.
The sound of the water stopped, and Calista walked out dressed in a bathrobe, her hair untied.
The steam from the bath made her pasty white skin slightly pink, the white bathrobe tied tightly around her waist, her long and fair legs now exposed, and her waist length hair was wet and slightly wavy, making her bright eyes sparkle even brighter.
The situation earlier was very tense and now Jarrett found that this girl didn’t look too bad at all! Her figure and face was enough to heat up his body, and her harmless yet intense aura made him unable to tear his eyes away from her.
Jarrett thought to himself, he wanted to bring this little girl back for some fun!
Calista had no i
what Jarrett was thinking about. She looked at him for a while, then smiled, you put your gun down now? I’m going to treat your juries now.”
“So can
Jarrett saw that Calista was very serious when she said it, as if she really knew what she was doing. After thinking for a while, he put the gun down gently at the head of the bed. “How do you intend to treat me? I don’t see any medicine here.”
Jarrett’s smile was very sly, and his long phoenix eyes stared holes into her, yet there was an unexplainable coldness inside, proving that this man was definitely not a good man.
Calista smiled calmly, “I don’t need medicine, just take off your shirt.”
Jarrett hesitated for just one moment before swiftly removing his shirt.
His figure wasn’t too bad, perfect six pack abs and various scars of different sizes – one could s was a very manly body.
There was a large bowl sized bruise on his abdomen, and the broken blood vessels spread in all directions over his olive colored skin. It seemed that the policemen earlier were not capable of caus such a serious injury.
Calista calmly analyzed the situation, told him to lie down, then walked over to the side of the bed.
She held her hair clip in her hand, and Jarrett realized she was taking out a needle from her hair clip!
His eyes narrowed, his body reacting faster than his thoughts. The next moment, The dagger in his. hand rested on Calista’s neck, his entire body tensing up. “What are you trying to do?”
Calista threw the hair clip to one side and waved the needle in her hand. This needle was very thin, about 4 inches long. It looked very sharp but it was very soft, so it would be hard to insert this needle if Jarrett remained so tense.

She laughed as if she didn’t see the dagger on her neck, “I just want to perform some acupuncture you, but you’re too tense.”
“Acupuncture?”
Jarrett frowned and continued

look suspiciously at her. He slowly moved the dagger from her neck
to the belt of her bathrobe and narrowed his eyes.
“I see you’re still young, so let’s not play with needles, let’s do something ebe…”
Jarrett was all ready to cut her bathrobe belt with his dagger. “You’re not wearing anything inside, right?”
Calista used two fingers to hold onto the dagger. “If I were you, I wouldn’t do anything. You have internal bleeding in your abdomen and if you don’t stop the bleeding now, tomorrow you’d need insert tubes to get all the blood out.”
Jarrett tried to move his dagger, but Calista’s two fingers were holding it very tightly. His expression changed, then he let go of the dagger and lay back down on the bed. “I’ll have to trouble you then…”
Calista smiled as she threw the dagger on the floor. “You’re welcome.”
Both of them had friendly expressions on their face, but there was a weird atmosphere between them. Calista didn’t bother about him anymore, her finger guiding the needle above his abdomen.
Jarrett looked like he didn’t care, but his body instinctively tensed up because the abdomen was one of the most vulnerable parts of the body, and he had to guard against Calista at all times in case she tried anything funny.
Calista slowly closed her eyes and started to focus. In a flash, her aura suddenly changed.
Earlier she was a little mysterious and flirty, but when she opened her eyes again, she looked d serious and her eyes sparkled much brighter than before.
The seriousness on her face made Jarrett strangely begin to relax, and he began to believe she reall knew what she was doing.
Calista put her focus on the end of the needle in her hand, and didn’t notice the change of Jarrett’s mood.
Acupuncture was really all about inserting needles into acupoints, and this would in turn help to both improve what was good for the body, and rectify what was wrong in the body.
Bur Calista was different, because the Energy Needle techniques that she learnt could transfer the Energy within her to the patient through the needle, and this Energy could be considered giving the person a new lease of life.
As such, all Energy Needles could only save lives, and could not kill.
Energy Needles could also help one to reverse aging and increase lifespan. The fact she managed to reach thirty in her previous life despite the virus was sufficient proof of that.

Chapter
Calista took a deep breath and stopped thinking about the past. She held her hand up high and prepared to insert the needle.
In her previous life…this very miraculous skill became her downfall.
But in this life, it would become her trump card! It was like a sharp sword in hand that would help her win every battle.
In a flash, the silver needle was inserted like a screw into his abdomen. Calata only used one needle and one acupoint, but she sent all her active Energy swiftly into the acupoint that the needle had punctured.
This was one of the Energy Needle techniques – Draconia Touch.
Jarrett could feel something different. His cold eyes now looked confused, because the heat he could. feel in his abdomen wasn’t coming from him…it was coming from that one silver needle.
Calista panted for a while. She was glad that she had just finished her practice session earlier and gathered all the Energy already, otherwise this one needle would have caused her worn-out body to collapse.
The bruise on Jarrett’s abdomen started to fade at incredible speed – the feeling he had was as if this one needle had given him vitality and stimulus that he had never felt before, allowing him to heal himself. It was just like he could heal himself! He was healing from the inside.
Jarrett suddenly thought of something, and stared hard at Calista. He had visited excellent acupuncturists before too, and they were also very highly skilled. Cases like his mother’s headaches. found relief only after doing monthly acupuncture sessions, none of the other medicines or treatments had worked.
But no matter how highly skilled they were, they were no match for this girl, who could heal internal injuries with just one needle.
Her needle not just stimulated his acupoint, but also inserted vitality- this ability was certainly rare.
Calista had already removed the needle and moved on to treating his leg. Fortunately his ankle was merely twisted, and just needed to be snapped back in place..
Jarrett sat up and saw the woman down on one knee and inspecting his ankle at the end of the bed, and started thinking about what sort of history she had, and whether she might pose any threat or if she
any ulterior motives.

“Who did you learn acupuncture from?”
He had thought about it and felt that it was safer to get treatment from her teacher instead. He was afraid she wouldn’t tell him, so he added, “Tell me who your teacher is and I’ll give you a million
dollars.”
