In the spacious and bright beauty salon, Zheng Youen, dressed as a flight attendant, was screaming on a high-end luxury beauty recliner, struggling to breathe, her face contorted in pain. Dark red spots were clearly visible on her neck, arms, legs, and her slightly exposed slender waist.
A dozen beauticians in pink work uniforms surrounded her. The chief beautician, Ji William, clad in a white lab coat, was preparing to give her an intramuscular injection.
A pungent smell of body odor filled the air.
Ji William, sweating profusely, prepared the syringe while gritting his teeth and assuring, "Miss Youen, please rest assured. This Type 3a botulinum toxin is the latest special effect drug for body odor developed abroad. The first injection half an hour ago was indeed unbearable, but the second injection will be painless and guaranteed to permanently eliminate your hereditary body odor. Otherwise, it wouldn't be priced at over sixty thousand per vial!"
Zheng Youen had beautiful features and a tall figure, but she was tormented by body odor and dreamed of escaping it. Ji William's words made her disregard the pain. Gritting her teeth, she nodded, "Alright, I trust the professionalism of Tian Sheng Li Zhi Beauty Salon."
"You deserve a more perfect life, and it all starts with eliminating body odor!" Ji William finished speaking and immediately trembled as he injected Zheng Youen's arm.
Chen Xiao, who burst through the door, saw this scene and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly shouted to stop them, "You dare to ignore such obvious drug allergies? Are you tired of living?"
Lives were at stake! He wasn't afraid of offending anyone. As he spoke, he pushed Ji William away, taking the syringe with him. He then swiftly took out the silver needles he carried and inserted them into Zheng Youen's wrists and thighs. The mysterious, wordless golden formula in his mind spun rapidly.
"Ah—"
Zheng Youen, already in agony, screamed even louder, as if she had seen a ghost.
Ji William, who had almost been pushed to the ground, roared furiously, "What brat dares to trespass into Tian Sheng Li Zhi Beauty Salon?"
Casting a contemptuous glance at Ji William, who had dyed his hair into golden wavy curls, wore blue contact lenses, and looked neither male nor female, Chen Xiao said unceremoniously, "If I hadn't arrived in time to save her with acupuncture, not only you, but the entire beauty salon would be facing a lawsuit for manslaughter!"
Zhou Wanong, who followed closely behind, hadn't expected Chen Xiao to cause such an uproar in the beauty room. She quickly explained, "Youen, Doctor William, please don't misunderstand. Chen Xiao is my intern, he's not a bad person."
Ji William clearly knew Zhou Wanong and looked down on Chen Xiao even more. "A mere intern from the Central Hospital dares to talk about saving lives with acupuncture. Chen, are you sure you're not just seeking attention?" He paused, then added in exasperation, "Besides, Miss Youen is perfectly fine, why does she need you to save her?"
Chen Xiao argued forcefully, his tone resolute, "Are you blind or ignorant? Didn't you see her skin allergy, nerve pain, and sudden suffocation just now? In medicine, this is a drug allergy that can be instantly fatal! And you still dare to give her another injection? Are you trying to hasten her death..."
But before Chen Xiao could finish, Zheng Youen, whose body had slightly improved due to the acupuncture, suddenly interjected, "Wanong, isn't your little follower making a mountain out of a molehill? After Doctor William injected the second dose, I clearly felt my body suddenly relax."
Ji William became even more arrogant and continued to roar at Chen Xiao, "Kid, did you hear that? Even Miss Youen herself said my medicine is fine. This further proves that your misuse of acupuncture is just for show! Type 3a botulinum toxin is the latest special effect drug for body odor developed by the renowned foreign pharmaceutical company 'Red Ace'. How could there be an allergic reaction? What a joke!"
"If it weren't for my timely acupuncture controlling and alleviating the allergic reaction, would you still be standing here fawning over foreign things?" Chen Xiao was furious. As he spoke, he directly pulled out the four silver needles from Zheng Youen's body.
Zheng Youen cried out in pain, "Ah!"
Ji William seized the opportunity and continued to exclaim in mock alarm, "Kid, you hurt our customer! Kneel down and apologize immediately, or I'll call security..."
Zhou Wanong became anxious and quickly shielded Chen Xiao. "Youen, Chen Xiao meant well, and it's normal for acupuncture to hurt a little. Please forgive him."
But Zheng Youen ignored Zhou Wanong. She was in even more pain, the dark red spots on her body becoming denser, her breathing more difficult. In less than half a minute, her face turned ashen.
Ji William seized the opportunity to taunt Chen Xiao, "Chen, you must have hit a vital point on Miss Youen. If anything unfortunate happens to Miss Youen, you will be held responsible!"
"You know nothing!" Chen Xiao said, reinserting the silver needles into Zheng Youen's body.
