The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Are You Even a Doctor?

Daniel quickly pulled out a needle and thread used for sewing clothes from the plastic bag and waved them in front of Isabella. Seeing the needle and thread, Isabella was dumbfounded.

“Are you even a doctor? That’s sewing gear for clothes, you’re planning to use that to stitch me up? Surgical stitching is supposed to use special threads.”

“In my hometown, this is what we use for stitching wounds. If you’re worried, I’ll just spit on the needle and thread a couple of times to sterilize them.”

“You… you’re a madman!”

“If you don’t want it done the hard way, I can do it the soft way.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It means you don’t need surgery.‘

Daniel pulled out a clay pot from the plastic bag and poured out a listless, black insect. The bug had the head of a beetle but the body of a cicada.

This particular insect, called the Fate Seeker, was unique to the farm where Daniel lived. It was bred by Noah Carter, Daniel’s old man, who loved using various insects and animals for cross–breeding with the aim of cultivating better medicinal materials. The Fate Seeker was one of his accomplishments.

Isabella screamed when she saw the weird insect she had never encountered before in Daniel’s hand.

“Ah! Get that thing away from me, I can’t stand bugs.”

“This is called the Fate Seeker; it’s harmless and has a pleasant fragrance.”

Daniel brought the Fate Seeker close to Isabella’s nose. Just as she was about to scream, an enchanting aroma entered her nostrils. She was spellbound by the strange but delightful scent. An ugly insect with such a beautiful fragrance, more attractive than any perfume she had ever used.

Seeing Isabella had stopped screaming, Daniel asked with a smile, “How do you like the Fate Seeker’s

scent?”

“What are you going to do?”

Without answering, Daniel placed the Fate Seeker on Isabella’s chest.

“Ah! You lunatic, what are you doing?”

Before Isabella could finish, she felt something moving in her stomach, and then a sensation in her throat. A large, black centipede, about twenty centimeters long and as thick as a thumb, crawled out of her mouth.

The centipede headed straight for the Fate Seeker, but Daniel was quicker. He captured it and secured it inside a mineral water bottle. He then put away the Fate Seeker back in the clay pot.

“All done! I’ve removed the curse that was inside you.”

Before Daniel could finish speaking, Isabella sprang up from the sofa and rushed to the restroom.

She retched over the toilet bowl, not being able to vomit anything but saliva. The thought of the centipede

crawling out of her mouth was nauseating. After rinsing her mouth with mouthwash several times, she

managed to suppress the revolting feeling.

“You okay? If you are, I’ll be on my way!”

Daniel shouted through the frosted glass door, preparing to leave.

“Wait a minute!”

Isabella called out to him and then opened the door to step out.
