After Lian Manman had finished speaking about the efficacy of pricking the sole with a needle, her gaze remained fixed on Lady Zhou. It was indeed rare to see Lady Zhou managing not to move an inch. Lian Manman chuckled to herself; although Lady Zhou's body didn't move, her eyes still twitched beneath her eyelids. In fact, Lian Manman had always thought that feigning unconsciousness or pretending to be asleep was quite a tricky task. Even if you can control every muscle in your body to stay still, it's really hard for most people to keep their eyes motionless. As soon as your thoughts waver even slightly, it's difficult to prevent your pupils from moving.
With the needle in hand, Lian Manman aimed for the sole of Lady Zhou's foot.
