Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Deep within the Bone Stone Forest.

Ye Fei sat on a fallen tree stump, disheveled and unkempt, with a scruffy beard and a crumpled cigarette dangling from his lips. He seemed deeply troubled, muttering curses ceaselessly.

Their campsite had been washed away by a flood, they had been chased by a giant snake, and all their supplies were gone. Since that day, he hadn’t had a single decent meal. And it wasn’t just that he ate poorly; he couldn’t sleep well, either. The deeper they ventured into the Bone Stone Forest, the more perilous it became. They had to constantly guard against the toxic miasma and watch out for large, carnivorous beasts.

Fortunately, the Zhou Family mercenaries all had their ”Truth” in hand, so they weren’t completely at the bottom of the food chain. As long as they didn’t encounter a Jiao Beast that had cultivated for over a century, any ordinary animal that crossed their path would face the judgment of the ”Truth”!

...

”President Ye, I hit it! I hit it! I just shot down a big bird!”

Just as Ye Fei was pondering his next move, a tall mercenary ran over, his face beaming as he reported the good news. The mercenary was so cheerful because Ye Fei had promised a hefty reward to anyone who successfully hunted prey.

The perpetually ravenous Ye Fei immediately perked up. He grandly pulled a check from his pocket and tossed it to the tall mercenary. ”What are you waiting for? Go get it! Find a place to clean it and get it roasting!”

”You got it, President Ye!”

The tall mercenary snatched the check and left joyfully, almost walking with a defiant swagger. The check in his hand seemed to flash, drawing the envy of others.

”Damn, Big Ghost! You better treat us brothers to a good time later!”

”That’s a must! President Ye is so generous. When we get back, you guys can pick any club you want!”

”Hahaha…”

”President Ye, is there anything else you’re craving? We’ll go hunt it down for you!”

...

For these mercenaries who had endured brutal training, this level of wilderness survival was nothing more than a walk in the park; it was completely stress-free. So, even in such an environment, all they could think about was how to squeeze more money out of their patron, Ye Fei.

Just then, Yang Xue approached. She waved her hand to dismiss the other mercenaries before sitting down beside Ye Fei. ”Looks like we can finally have some meat today.”

Ye Fei heaved a long sigh and slumped wearily against the stump, too exhausted to even speak.

Yang Xue glanced at him sideways and sneered, ”You skinny runt. Even stranded in the wilderness, you don’t know any self-control. Serves you right for being so drained.”

”You have no stamina for traveling, but when it comes time to get busy, you’re as tireless as a donkey on a collective farm.”

Ye Fei waved a dismissive hand and chuckled. ”What do you know? This is called ’dying beneath the peony flowers, a romantic even as a ghost.’ I’d rather die on top of a woman than in the mouths of those beasts.”

Hearing this, Yang Xue shook her head helplessly and said no more. She truly had to hand it to this guy; she had no idea where he found so much energy. Whenever he had a spare moment, he’d be at it, as if he hadn’t touched a woman in eight lifetimes. He would either bother her, even making her use the Fox Charm Technique, or go for the captured deputy leader of the Su Family’s herb-picking team.

In the ensuing silence, Ye Fei suddenly remarked, ”I really envy you women. You never seem to get tired, no matter how much you do.”

Yang Xue pursed her lips. ”There are only oxen that are worked to death, never a field that is over-plowed.”

Ye Fei glanced at her and suddenly remembered something. He smirked and said, ”Last night, I saw you and that fat subordinate of yours having quite a good time under that tree… I must say, Miss Yang, your tastes are quite eclectic. You’re not picky at all. You’d even spread your legs for a fat pig like that.”

Hearing this, Yang Xue nonchalantly flicked her shoulder-length hair and smiled faintly. ”To me, all men are the same. They can all be used to harvest Yang Essence for my cultivation.”

Ye Fei asked curiously, ”Speaking of which, in your Mercenary Corps, have a lot of the men slept with you?”

Yang Xue shot him a look and corrected him, ”It should be said that I’ve slept with every single one of these mercenaries.”

Ye Fei was stunned. ”Damn, that bold? Does that mean everyone here is my brother-in-law now?”

Yang Xue gave him a meaningful look. ”Sometimes, I even call on several of them to join me at once. But these guys, for all their size and tough talk, are always spouting dirty jokes. When it’s actually time to perform, they’re more pathetic than the last.”

Ye Fei gave her a decisive thumbs-up. ”Sister Yang, you’re a badass!”

”AHHHH—!”

Right in the middle of their lighthearted chat, a bloodcurdling scream erupted from the dense woods not far away.

Ye Fei’s expression tightened. He shot up into a sitting position and stared at Yang Xue. He recognized the scream as belonging to the tall mercenary from earlier.

Yang Xue’s brow furrowed slightly. She stood up and commanded, ”Everyone, grab your gear! Let’s go check it out!”

「Shortly after.」

When Ye Fei and Yang Xue arrived with the group of mercenaries, they found the tall mercenary rolling on the ground, wailing in agony and spitting blood, a few of his teeth apparently having been knocked out.

Not far away, Sun Zhe sat leisurely on a rock with his legs crossed, nonchalantly toying with the AK-47 he had snatched from the tall mercenary.

Ye Fei recognized Sun Zhe at a glance. His expression hardened, and he gritted his teeth. ”You little bastard! Why is it you!”

As he spoke, the mercenaries all raised their guns and aimed them at Sun Zhe.

Despite having so many guns pointed at him, Sun Zhe remained perfectly calm and composed, seemingly unbothered. He scanned the mercenaries before his gaze finally settled on Ye Fei’s face. He smiled faintly. ”I was just wondering how I was going to find you. I didn’t expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep.”

At that moment, Yang Xue walked up to Ye Fei’s side and looked at Sun Zhe with a half-smile. ”Hey handsome, you beat up my man like this. Aren’t you going to offer an explanation?”

Sun Zhe glanced at the tall mercenary on the ground, remembering the bullet he’d taken while in the air. He replied coolly, ”Screw off. No explanation.”

At his words, Yang Xue’s eyes went cold. Her True Qi flared as she said icily, ”You really don’t know your own limits. This sister doesn’t mind teaching you how to be a man.”

Seeing that Yang Xue was about to make a move herself, Ye Fei quickly retreated with the other mercenaries and laughed. ”Miss Yang, if you help me take this kid down, I’ll give you three million!”

Yang Xue didn’t hesitate. ”It’s a deal. Three million!”

Ye Fei laughed heartily, looking at Sun Zhe as if he were an ant, his arrogance boundless. ”You bastard! I’ll deal with you properly in a moment. I’m going to make you regret ever being born!”

Sun Zhe shrugged and offered a placid smile. ”Right back at you.”

”Lv Xin?!”

Just then, from the other side of the clearing, Bai Ran suddenly stepped out from behind the large tree where she had been hiding. Her eyes reddened as she saw the disheveled woman being held by two mercenaries behind Ye Fei.

”Oh? What’s this, another one?”

Ye Fei let out a strange cry, his attention instantly captivated by Bai Ran. His eyes filled with undisguised wickedness.

”Tsk, tsk… that face, and that figure. I have to ask, beautiful, why would you waste your time with a loser like Sun Zhe? Why not come over to my side? I guarantee you’ll eat and drink well.”

Bai Ran didn’t even bother to spare him a glance. Her gaze was fixed on the captured woman. She clenched her delicate fists and said to Sun Zhe, ”Ah Zhe, that’s Lv Xin, the deputy leader of the herb-picking team! You have to figure out a way…”

”Got it!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Sun Zhe shot forward like an arrow released from its bow!

Yang Xue’s lips curved into a smirk, her eyes glinting with contempt. ”You’ve got a death wish, kid!”
