Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Sun Zhe suddenly remembered a record in his grandfather’s medical book. According to the description, Earth Heart Grass usually grew near tombs.

This plant was also known as the ”Passage to the Nine Netherworld” because its roots grew exceptionally deep, as if connecting to the underworld itself, hence the name. In ancient times, powerful figures would often plant this grass around their tombs. Not only did it reinforce the soil to prevent grave robbers from digging, but it also symbolized a passage to the netherworld.

If there was anywhere Sun Zhe could find Su Nanzhi now, it had to be the ancient tomb the Chen siblings had mentioned. It was the only and closest clue he had.

Nanzhi, I hope you’re safe. No matter where you are, I will find you.

A short while later, the Chen siblings found clean clothes in their backpacks and changed. After tidying up, the three of them prepared to set off.

Chen Ruoyi suddenly took off the shiny necklace from around her neck, holding it dangling between two fingers to observe it carefully. Sun Zhe leaned over for a look and saw that the pendant was a beautifully crafted hollow crystal. Inside, a sesame-seed-sized black dot moved around like a tiny insect.

”What’s this?”

Chen Ruoyi glanced at Sun Zhe. Seeing his handsome face so close, she couldn’t help but blush. ”This is a Compass Stone, a mineral extracted from the depths of Celestial Prison Mountain. It can counteract magnetic fields, so it’s not affected by the one here.”

”If we want to get to the ancient tomb, we need to use this to determine our direction first,” she added.

Sun Zhe smiled. ”You guys are pretty professional.”

At his side, Chen Ruolong laughed. ”Of course! We’re professional adventurers, after all! Boss, let me tell you, our Chen family ancestor made his fortune exploring tombs!”

Hearing this, Chen Ruoyi shot him a glare. This foolish brother of mine is really something else. Is the fact that our ancestor was a tomb raider something you can just casually talk about?

After turning in circles with the Compass Stone a few times, Chen Ruoyi suddenly sighed.

”What’s wrong?” Sun Zhe asked.

”Well,” she said, frustrated, ”this Compass Stone only works at an altitude of at least fifty meters. We used to use a drone, but unfortunately, we lost it.”

”Then what do we do?” Chen Ruolong asked. ”Should we find a high place to try from?”

Sun Zhe suddenly held out his hand to her. ”Give me the Compass Stone. I have a way.”

A moment later, the siblings’ eyes widened as they saw the Yin Yang Wings materialize on Sun Zhe’s back.

”Whoa, Boss! Do you have to be so cool?” Chen Ruolong exclaimed. ”Those wings are awesome, aren’t they!”

Sun Zhe just smiled and said to Chen Ruoyi, ”I’ll fly you up there. You can determine the direction from above.”

”Can… can we do that?” Chen Ruoyi asked, a little shy but filled with anticipation.

”Come on. The sooner we confirm the direction, the sooner we can get moving.”

Once Sun Zhe had carried Chen Ruoyi fifty meters into the air and she had determined their direction with the Compass Stone, the three of them officially set off.

Since the Chen siblings were both injured, their pace wasn’t fast. Chen Ruolong, in particular, was as fussy as a child, constantly whining and demanding they stop to rest after walking just a short distance. And while Sun Zhe was anxious, he couldn’t fly while carrying two people. Moreover, the Ice and Fire True Qi in his body was flaring up again, so he didn’t dare overly exert himself or use his True Qi.

「Night fell in the blink of an eye.」

After a full day of travel, all three of them were exhausted. They decided to stop and rest, waiting until dawn to continue their journey. Traveling at night was several times more dangerous than during the day, as many large beasts and Jiao Beasts came out to hunt after dark.

In a patch of reeds by a small river, Sun Zhe said to the siblings, ”You two rest for a bit. I’ll go to the river and catch some fish. I saw quite a few when we passed by.”

Chen Ruolong looked curious. ”How come I didn’t see any fish? Boss, how did you?”

Hearing this, Sun Zhe just smiled without a word. He certainly wasn’t going to tell Chen Ruolong he had X-ray Vision.

”Hehe, Boss, we’re really making you work hard. Once we get out of Celestial Prison Mountain, I’ll find a hundred pretty ladies for you, the kind who wear black stockings and miniskirts!”

Sun Zhe just waved his hand as he turned to leave. ”Let’s talk about that after we leave Celestial Prison Mountain.”

The moment Sun Zhe, the ”mother bird,” was gone, Chen Ruoyi instantly switched into ”fierce mode.” She marched over to Chen Ruolong and grabbed his ear, twisting it mercilessly. ”You want to get him girls? In damned black stockings and miniskirts, no less? I don’t even dare to wear that!”

”Chen Ruolong, you must be tired of living! I’m going to beat you senseless today!”

”Ahhh! Mercy, Sis, mercy!” Chen Ruolong cried, covering his head with his hands.

”Begging for mercy now? It’s too late!”

”I was just trying to find him some girls to repay him for saving our lives!” Chen Ruolong protested defiantly. ”What’s it to you? I was shamelessly trying to set you two up, but you weren’t interested. So why are you getting involved now? What right do you have to interfere with him?”

Listening to his long-winded argument, Chen Ruoyi grew even angrier and smacked him on the head. ”You’re not finding him anyone! He’s not that kind of person! You think everyone is as lecherous as you?”

”What do you mean, ’like me’? Let me tell you, all men are lecherous!”

”He’s not.”

”He is! I, Chen Ruolong, am an excellent judge of character!”

”Lecherous, my foot! Didn’t Master say that lust is a bone-scraping knife?”

”That’s fine. My bones are hard. They can take a good scraping.”

As the night grew deeper, the sounds of their bickering faded. After finishing the grilled fish, the Chen siblings fell asleep almost instantly. Sun Zhe sat cross-legged by the campfire to keep watch, planning to pass the time with his cultivation.

Time trickled by.

Sun Zhe suddenly stopped his cultivation and glanced at Chen Ruolong, who was snoring beside him. He sighed under his breath.

Sigh, this guy is really something else. Ruolong, that clown. How can he be so loud even when he’s sleeping? But then again, it’s a good thing I ran into them. At least they’ve given me some clues. It’s much better than searching blindly on my own.

As his thoughts wandered, his gaze settled on Chen Ruoyi, who was lying on her side on the dry reeds. He couldn’t help but swallow.

She was facing him, sleeping soundly. Because of her position, the collar of her T-shirt had loosened, revealing the beautiful valley of her cleavage. From his angle, Sun Zhe could even see a hint of crimson. Staring at those two points of crimson, which were on the verge of being exposed, he suddenly felt a wave of heat wash over him. The Yang Qi in his body began to surge uncontrollably.

Damn it! Not again!

Sun Zhe cursed inwardly, quickly looking away as he tried to suppress the restless energy. It was no use. He couldn’t force the Yang Qi down.

Helpless, he had no choice but to leave the camp with his ”angry little Sun Zhe” and head for the riverbank to cool off in the breeze.

He hadn’t been gone long when Chen Ruoyi, who had only been pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes.

Where is he going so late at night? He’s not thinking of abandoning us, is he?

The thought made her instantly nervous. Having been betrayed by her expedition leader before, she was a firm believer in ”once bitten, twice shy.” Seeing Sun Zhe leave the camp, she couldn’t help but think the worst.

She sat up, glanced at Chen Ruolong sleeping like a log, and quietly followed.

Just as she left the campsite, she saw Sun Zhe standing by the small river with his hands held in front of him. Aided by the light of the campfire, she could see a liquid arc flying through the air.

Oh, he just came out to use the bathroom. That makes sense. He isn’t that kind of person.

Chen Ruoyi let out a sigh of relief. But when she looked closer and saw Sun Zhe shaking... *that thing*... she blushed and quickly averted her gaze.

Chen Ruoyi, how could you? Spying on a guy peeing in the middle of the night! I can’t look, I can’t look! If I keep looking, I’ll get a sty! But... it’s so dark, I can’t really see anything... so I probably won’t get a sty, right? So maybe just one more look... Just a tiny peek shouldn’t hurt...

For a moment, it felt as though two souls were warring inside her. Ultimately, she restrained herself and decided not to peep again.

But just then, Sun Zhe took off his shirt, revealing his chiseled muscles. She couldn’t help but steal another glance, a pink blush spreading across her cheeks as ripples of admiration stirred in her beautiful eyes. What a perfect physique.

The next instant, her eyes flew wide in shock, and she nearly screamed.

Sun Zhe was taking off his pants.

When she saw the massive serpent, completely exposed and pointing straight into the distance, her mind went completely blank.

Oh my God… that’s terrifying!
