Chapter 49 Self-Healing
After Jessica bought all the items specified by Alex, he showed her how to prepare the medication.
The form was a remedy for internal injuries that he read in the Nine Heaven Scrolls, and its efficacy
was excellent.
He drank a bowl of the medication once it was ready, then signaled for Jessica to leave.
However, she insisted that she stayed back to look after him, and he gave in to her.
Later on, Alex took off his shirt and prepared to perform acupuncture treatment on himself.
Seeing how solid Alex’s muscles were, Jessica blushed as her heart started beating wildly.
“Light the alcoholmp,” said Alex.
“Huh? Sorry, what did you say?” Jessica fumbled to regain her senses after drooling over Alex.
Alex quickly raised his head to catch a glimpse of Jessica, and he was amused to see how much she
was blushing.
Does she think I’m trying to make advances on her?
“Rx, I’m not into younger girls,” he said whileughing.
That very instant, Jessica felt embarrassed and angry at the same time.
Hmph, is he implying that I have small boobs?
Idiot! I’m at least a B cup. Do I look that t-chested?
“Hmph! Even if you were into younger girls, I wouldn’t go after a married man like you!” Jessica huffed.
“Alright, alright. Just light the alcoholmp now,” Alex said.
Although Jessica was still feeling rather annoyed, she quickly lit themp and put it on the coffee table.
Alex used themp to sterilize a silver needle, then he started performing acupuncture on himself
ording to the methodology found in the Nine Heaven Scrolls.
However, this was the first time in his life performing acupuncture. Even though he had learned the art
of acupuncture in theory, performing it physically was a lot more challenging.
He missed his pressure points several times and ended up piercing other parts of his flesh, resulting in
agonizing pain.
Jessica, who was standing next to him, looked apathetic on the surface, but she actually felt a great
deal of distress inside.
After more than an hour, Alex finallypleted his acupuncture treatment.

It was already nighttime by then, so Jessica asked the hotel staff to serve them dinner through room
service.
Later on, Alex continued with more breathing exercises to regte his internal energy.
After a series of exercises, he opened his eyes, only to find Jessica gazing at him doe-eyed with her
cheeks propped against her hands.
Alex checked the time and was stunned to find that it was already eleven o’clock at night. “Why are you
still here? Don’t tell me you’re going to stay the night with me?” he said to her.
Jessica was very much angered by his remarks. I kindly stayed back to take care of him, and this is
how he responds? How rude and ungrateful!
“In your dreams! I would never go after a married man like you!” she yelled, then she grabbed her
handbag and left.
The door mmed shut with a loud bang as though it were reflecting her annoyance and displeasure.
The corners of Alex’s lips curled up into a faint smile, then he got off his bed.
After recuperating for five to six hours, his internal injury was half-healed.
The medical knowledge found in the Nine Heaven Scrolls indeed worked wonders.
If he had gone to the hospital with such severe injuries, he would have to be hospitalized for at least
ten days.
But with the scrolls’ help, he would be able to achieve full recovery in two to three days.
A whileter, he took a warm shower, then he finally switched on his phone again.
He found that there were several missed calls. One was from Heather, and the rest were from Flynn.
Without any hesitation, he called Flynn back.
As soon as the call connected, Flynn said, “I’ve caught the person you mentioned earlier, but he’s
incredibly strong and he has injured over twenty of my brothers. If I hadn’t brought along that tool of
mine, I wouldn’t have been able to catch him.”
