Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

”AAAHHH!”

”You son of a bitch!”

”Come on, you bastard, come and eat me!”

Amidst Sun Zhe and Chen Ruoyi’s conversation, Chen Ruolong’s thunderous curses suddenly erupted from nearby.

Both of them jumped in surprise, turning their heads in unison to see Chen Ruolong had already pushed himself into a sitting position. He was flailing his arms with his eyes closed, a torrent of profanity spewing from his mouth.

Sun Zhe was about to say something but stopped when he saw Chen Ruoyi get to her feet. Enduring the pain in her leg, she walked over and slapped Chen Ruolong on the top of his head.

Stunned by the slap, Chen Ruolong opened his eyes and glanced around. His eyes lit up when he realized he was no longer in the bird’s nest.

”Sis, are we saved?”

Chen Ruoyi snapped irritably, ”What are you screaming about? You’re a grown man, yet your mouth is full of filth. You have no class at all. Be careful, or you’ll attract that Winged Dragon, and it’ll come back to eat you!”

Chen Ruolong felt deeply wronged. ”Are you even my real sister? That beast nearly ate us, and now I’m classless for cursing it a little?”

Hearing this, Chen Ruoyi’s expression darkened, her face filled with the innate authority of an older sister. ”Real my ass,” she said coldly. ”You were just a freebie Mom and Dad got for topping up their phone credit. If I’d known, I would’ve told them to pick the bottle of laundry detergent instead.”

A bitter look washed over Chen Ruolong’s face. ”Sis, how can you say that about me?”

”Before I started my apprenticeship, I earned several hundred million for our Chen Family! How am I still worth less than a bottle of laundry detergent to you?”

Watching the quarreling siblings, a smile involuntarily spread across Sun Zhe’s face. Growing up with only his grandfather for company, he truly envied this kind of familial bond. They would bicker playfully when there was nothing to do, each word more piercing than the last, with not a single one fit for polite company. But when they truly faced trouble, they were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect one another. How could one not be envious of such affection?

”Bro, thanks for saving us!”

As Sun Zhe was lost in his thoughts, Chen Ruolong suddenly got up and stumbled over to him, his eyes brimming with gratitude.

”Seriously, bro, that punch you threw earlier was epic!”

”I saw it all from the bird’s nest. You sent that Winged Dragon running with a single punch! You beat it into submission! It was so damn satisfying!”

His expression turned solemn as he declared, ”So I’ve decided! From now on, you’re my real brother!”

”No, wait! You saved us, you’re our savior. By rights, my sister should repay you by marrying you, so from now on, you’re my brother-in-law!”

”Brother-in-law, please accept this bow from your future brother-in-law!”

With that, he genuinely tried to kneel and bow to Sun Zhe.

Chen Ruoyi’s pretty face flushed completely red, though it was hard to tell if it was from shame or anger. Unable to bear it a second longer, she kicked Chen Ruolong on a part of his body that wasn’t injured.

”OW, THAT HURTS! Sis, what are you doing?! Eat shit!”

Chen Ruoyi rolled her eyes and snorted. ”Would you please just roll over to the side? We’re hanging on by a thread, and you’re still running your mouth.”

With that said, she turned to Sun Zhe with an apologetic smile. ”I’m so sorry, Dr. Sun. My brother... well, his brain hasn’t been quite right since he was a kid.”

Sun Zhe looked at Chen Ruolong, who was still putting on a one-man show of exaggerated emotions, and nodded. ”I understand.”

Hearing this, Chen Ruolong grew anxious. ”Brother-in-law, what do you understand? My brain is perfectly normal, okay!”

”Don’t listen to my sister’s nonsense! Her brain is the one that’s not normal!”

”And I’m serious! I’ve really decided to marry my sister off to you!”

”My sister’s a bit on the older side, sure—already twenty-eight and still not married off—but that’s fine. Worst case, I, as her little brother-in-law, will just add a little extra to her dowry.”

Seeing Chen Ruolong so earnestly arranging her future, Chen Ruoyi’s almond-shaped eyes went wide, and she nearly let a curse slip.

”Chen Ruolong, I swear to God today...”

She truly couldn’t hold back any longer; she wanted nothing more than to slap this idiot senseless. She could tolerate him making such jokes in front of acquaintances, but they had just met Sun Zhe, who was also their savior! For this numbskull to just blurt out her age and claim she couldn’t get married...

This was the last straw. If an uncle could tolerate it, an aunt could not. And even if an aunt could, a big sister certainly couldn’t!

”Chen Ruolong, get on your knees for me! I’m going to loosen your bones today!”

Chen Ruolong trembled in fear, his face a mask of misery as he shot a pleading look at Sun Zhe. ”Brother-in-law, save me!”

However, Sun Zhe didn’t dare utter a peep. He was just now realizing that, contrary to his initial impression of her being gentle and quiet, Chen Ruoyi was actually quite fierce.

He didn’t dare provoke such a fierce woman.

Chen Ruoyi pointed a finger at Chen Ruolong and raged, ”Kneel! I’m counting to three!”

Chen Ruolong scrambled behind Sun Zhe, a look of disdain on his face. ”Still playing the ’I’ll count to three’ game? With my brother-in-law here today, do you really think I’d let a mere woman like you run wild? It wouldn’t matter even if an Immortal himself showed up!”

Chen Ruoyi’s chest heaved with anger, but then she suddenly let out a sigh of resignation. She turned to Sun Zhe and said, ”Sorry, Dr. Sun. This clown has been a martial arts fanatic since he was a child. Whenever he sees someone stronger than him, he just wants to suck up to them.”

”He just admires you so much that he’s lost all control. Please don’t mind him.”

Sun Zhe smiled and shook his head. ”It’s probably because the effects of the Zhulong Jie are quite potent. Not only can he not feel any pain right now, but he’s also overly excited. His mind is a little too clear, you could say.”

Chen Ruoyi was surprised. ”Oh, so that’s why. No wonder he’s as energetic as if he were on adrenaline.”

Sun Zhe changed the subject. ”By the way, I heard you mention a Winged Dragon earlier. Were you talking about that big black bird?”

At this, Chen Ruolong quickly scooted closer to Sun Zhe and nodded vigorously. ”That’s right, that’s the Winged Dragon!”

Sun Zhe had a strange look on his face. ”Is that what a Winged Dragon looks like? It’s different from what I’ve seen on TV.”

Chen Ruoyi chuckled. ”The winged dragons and dinosaurs you see on TV are just what modern people have imagined based on fossil structures. A real Winged Dragon looks just like that.”

Sun Zhe laughed. ”I see. I guess you can’t believe everything you see on TV.”

Chen Ruoyi added, ”Of course, this can only be considered a descendant of the Winged Dragon, not the kind from tens of millions of years ago. So, strictly speaking, it’s a Winged Dragon Bird. We’re just all used to calling it a Winged Dragon.”

Sun Zhe nodded with a smile. ”Learned something new.”

Just then, Chen Ruolong leaned in, staring at Chen Ruoyi as if she were a monster.

Chen Ruoyi glared at him. ”What are you looking at me for?”

”It’s just, sis, I’ve noticed you’re acting a little strange today. Usually, you’re so sparing with your words when talking to a man, but today you’re so talkative. And your tone is so gentle.”

Chen Ruoyi’s face darkened. ”If you want to die, just say so.”

Seeing that the siblings were about to fight again, Sun Zhe quickly interjected, ”Right, you two, I still have to set off to find someone, so I’ll be taking my leave.”

”I saw some backpacks in that nest. They probably have useful supplies. I’ll go get some for you in a bit.”

A hint of reluctance flickered in Chen Ruoyi’s eyes. Her gaze on Sun Zhe was so intense it was as if she were drawing a thread between them. She opened her mouth but seemed at a loss for words.

Just then, Chen Ruolong grabbed Sun Zhe’s arm and said urgently, ”Brother-in-law, if you’re going to save someone, see it through to the end! We’re both so injured now. Without your protection, forget about the Winged Dragon Bird, even a crocodile could finish us off!”

”My life might not be worth much, but could you really bear to watch your brand-new little wifey get her organs harvested?”

Hearing this, Chen Ruoyi shot him a glare, then said to Sun Zhe, ”By the way, Dr. Sun, didn’t you say you wanted to go to that village? We know the general direction; we can guide you.”

Sun Zhe looked at the siblings before him, thought for a moment, and said, ”That works.”

Seeing Sun Zhe agree, Chen Ruolong was overjoyed. ”That’s great, brother-in-law! I knew my judgment of people was spot on!”

Sun Zhe shook his head. ”I can take you two with me so we can watch out for each other, but I have one condition.”

Chen Ruolong’s expression turned serious. ”Name it, brother-in-law! My sister’s measurements, her favorite colors, her dating history—anything I know, I’ll tell you!”

Sun Zhe’s mouth twitched. This kid is really something else, he sighed inwardly. He’s so quick to sell out his own sister.

”The condition is that you stop calling me brother-in-law. You might just be joking, but it could affect your sister’s reputation.”

”Pshaw!” Chen Ruolong waved his hand dismissively. ”What’s the big deal? I’ve seen women in their thirties still able to have babies. My sister’s only twenty-eight. She can still reproduce just fine, so it won’t affect anything!”

”Speaking of which, I can’t wait to have a little nephew.”

Sun Zhe broke out in a cold sweat. ”I said reputation, not reproduction.”

”Oh, oh, oh...” Chen Ruolong finally got it and slapped his forehead. ”Look at my brain. That Winged Dragon Bird must have scrambled it.”

He then added, ”But you don’t need to worry about her reputation, either. What reputation does she have left to lose?”

”She’s been causing trouble since she was a little kid, raising hell every other day. Let me tell you, she got beaten more than I did. They called her the ’Little She-Devil of the Chen Family.’ She lost her reputation a long time ago.”

”CHEN! RUO! LONG!”

Seeing Chen Ruolong so shamelessly airing her dirty laundry to a man she had just met, Chen Ruoyi felt like her lungs were about to explode. She lunged forward and twisted his ear.

”If you want to die, just say so! I’ll grant your wish today!”

”OWW, I was wrong, sis! Brother-in-law, help me!”

Sun Zhe, however, decisively shook his head. He smiled at Chen Ruoyi and said, ”It’s best to discipline a younger brother early.”

”Since he’s injured and can’t run away, you should take this chance to hit him for as long as you can.”
