"Old Li, I know it hurts. Just hang in there, only two needles left," Mr. Han said while he helped wipe away Mr. Li's sweat.
Mr. Li was in too much pain to bicker back. It hurt. It really, truly hurt. 'Thank goodness there are only two left,' Mr. Li thought, secretly relieved. 'I've finally made it through.'
'If I make a single sound, my old friends will definitely laugh at me, and this girl will look down on me too.'
Mr. Li clenched his jaw. After all the Golden Needles had been inserted, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Mr. Li, you truly live up to your reputation as a war hero. Keep clenching that jaw," Gu Jiaojiao said, then used her Inner Strength to flick the end of a needle.
"AHH..." This was far more painful than the initial insertion. The pain made Mr. Li's entire body tremble.
"Mr. Li, I'll have to flick the needles once every minute. There are still ten minutes to go, and it's going to get more painful each time."
