After inspecting for a while, Deanna withdrew her hand. After careful examination, she had discovered some clues. Sam and Chloe remained silent, watching her attentively, waiting for her next move.
Deanna remained calm, taking out a few silver needles from her pocket. She took out one needle and pricked the demon king's leg. The demon king still slept soundly, only twitching slightly. Deanna ignored this, showing no change in expression, and continued to take another needle and prick it nearby. The demon king's body trembled again, making Sam sweat nervously. He was full of anxiety, afraid that Deanna would kill the demon king. This dog was not ordinary; the young master cherished it dearly, and it had accompanied the young master through thick and thin. If it died just like that, he would not escape responsibility. However, he couldn't interrupt Deanna at the moment, so he could only be anxious.
Sam thought to himself that Dr. Deanna was capable of many things, even able to treat their young master. Since she confidently claimed to be able to treat the demon king, there should be no problem. So he quietly watched without speaking. Chloe was full of curiosity, hoping that the demon king could be cured by her mommy; she believed in her mommy.
After a while, the injured leg of the demon king had been pricked with seven or eight needles. When Lance finished his busy work and came over, this was the scene he saw. His demon king was unconscious, with silver needles all over its leg. He frowned, somewhat dissatisfied, and asked Sam, "What are you doing?" There was concern in his tone for the demon king. Sam looked at him, feeling embarrassed, and replied awkwardly, "Dr. Deanna found that the demon king's hind leg is disabled and took the initiative to help treat it." Upon hearing this, he looked at Deanna with curiosity. Surprisingly, the demon king did not resist her approach.
At this moment, Deanna finished pricking the needles. She stood up calmly and told Lance, "The demon king seems to be injured, with blood stasis blocking the blood vessels, causing poor blood circulation and necrosis, resulting in a lame leg. After my treatment, although it may not completely recover in a short time, it should improve significantly." She said confidently and assuredly.
Lance's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but he was very surprised internally. The demon king was indeed injured, and when he took it to the hospital before, many hospitals said it couldn't be treated and suggested amputation. After visiting many hospitals, he also believed that there was no cure for it. Now, Deanna actually said she could treat it? He didn't rush to get treatment for himself; he said indifferently, "You go ahead and treat it." Then, he stopped speaking and just stared at the demon king. Deanna noticed that he really cared about this dog. She found it somewhat amusing that such a ruthless person could also be so compassionate. Being understanding, she didn't urge him to undergo treatment.
The few of them waited here in silence. Chloe couldn't wait any longer and was excited. Seeing the demon king asleep, she quickly ran over and reached out to touch its head. The demon king was well-raised, with fine and soft black fur, very smooth to the touch. Her eyes lit up, lovingly stroking it. "Doggy feels so good!" She exclaimed, then suddenly patted it. Lance didn't stop her, watching her pet the dog, his eyes showing a hint of tenderness. Sam observed the situation and saw that he wasn't displeased, so he didn't say anything either. Deanna loved children the most, so she didn't intervene either.
Twenty minutes later, Deanna estimated that she could remove the needles. She said, "Chloe, step aside, let mommy remove the needles for it." The little girl obediently stepped aside, still staring at the demon king, excitedly. Lance and Sam's attention were all drawn to Deanna. Deanna coughed, then according to the acupoint sequence, removed the needles from the demon king's body. As the last needle was pulled out, the demon king soon woke up, opening its eyes. "It woke up!" Chloe exclaimed happily, watching it wake up excitedly. Lance breathed a sigh of relief, glad that it was fine. Sam took a deep breath, fearing that the demon king wouldn't allow her to get so close now that it was awake.
But when the demon king saw her, it actually approached her friendly, rubbing its black head against her leg as if it had become obedient. Its docile appearance amazed Lance and surprised Sam. Deanna wasn't particularly surprised; she smiled and stroked its head gently, her face full of tenderness. Sam couldn't help but exclaim, "Dr. Deanna, you're amazing! I've never seen the demon king behave so obediently in front of others." Deanna smiled and replied, "It's probably because the effects of the medicine haven't worn off yet. The herbs in my sachet have a calming and sedative effect." Therefore, she didn't doubt the demon king's closeness to her.
Lance remained calm; he had a hunch that even after the effects of the medicine wore off, the demon king wouldn't show any hostility towards Deanna. This was his dog, and he naturally understood it best. The dog was very understanding; Deanna saved it, so it wouldn't resist her approach. He didn't voice his thoughts, just looked at Deanna meaningfully and said, "Dr. Deanna, thank you."
