Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

A pale white hue appeared on the horizon. A sliver of morning light spilled into the stone chamber, instantly filling the darkness.

On the stone bed, Su Nanzhi opened her eyes. She turned over with difficulty, and a sudden tearing pain from her lower body made her gasp.

It took her a while to catch her breath. She gently removed Sun Zhe’s hand from her body, then slowly sat up and looked at the man sleeping soundly beside her with a complex expression.

The crazed scenes from last night surfaced in her mind like a nightmare, leaving an indelible shadow on her heart.

WHINE...

A whimper suddenly came from nearby, sounding like crying. Su Nanzhi followed the sound and found Sun Batian crouched at the stone chamber’s entrance, looking at her with worried eyes.

Sun Batian had naturally been present last night and had witnessed everything firsthand. Although it didn’t understand such confusing human behavior, it could tell that Su Nanzhi had been bullied.

AWOO.

Sun Batian walked to the bedside and stood on its hind legs, resting its fluffy forepaws on the bed’s edge. Its eyes were filled with concern, as if asking a question.

Su Nanzhi reached out and stroked its head, a gentle look in her eyes. ”Batian, I’m fine.”

AWOO, AWOO.

Fearing it might wake Sun Zhe, Su Nanzhi made a shushing gesture before struggling to get off the bed.

However, the moment her toes touched the ground to stand, her weak legs buckled, and she staggered, nearly falling.

In that instant, the tearing pain became sharper, causing her delicate body to tremble and her lovely face to turn pale.

She looked down, startled to find the area red and swollen, with traces of dried blood on her snow-white legs.

”Hiss... It hurts so much...”

She couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath, again recalling last night’s madness, her heart filled with lingering fear.

Even she didn’t know how she had managed to endure it. At the time, she had been powerless to resist, forced to suffer the relentless impacts. The only thing she felt was pain—nothing but pain.

In that state, Sun Zhe was no different from a wild beast. He had even mistaken her for some enemy, showing no mercy or hesitation whatsoever.

She didn’t know how long the torment lasted, only that Sun Zhe was like a tireless machine, going on and on until they both lost consciousness and fell into a stupor.

”Sigh...”

Looking at the handsome yet annoying sleeping face on the bed, Su Nanzhi sighed softly, her expression growing more complex.

After what happened last night, although she didn’t exactly hate Sun Zhe, she felt some resentment.

In fact, she had once thought about giving her first time to this man willingly. She had considered all sorts of scenarios, but she never expected it to be taken from her under these circumstances.

”You bastard, I’ve been ruined by you,” Su Nanzhi murmured in complaint. ”Forget it. I’ll deal with you once your injuries are healed.”

She bent over to pick up the thick black tights, which had been torn to shreds. She rolled them into a ball and put them aside before picking up her pants.

Her pants were torn too, but fortunately, they were still wearable.

Just as she was pulling on her pants, Sun Zhe woke from his sleep on the stone bed and slowly opened his eyes.

”Nanzhi...”

Su Nanzhi’s heart pounded. She spun around in a panic, her back to Sun Zhe, and fumbled to pull up her pants.

Sun Zhe sat up, bleary-eyed, and was about to speak. But in the next moment, he suddenly froze, his sleepiness vanishing completely.

He had no recollection of what happened last night, but the scene before him, along with the scent of stephanotis flowers permeating the stone chamber... made it hard for him not to draw certain conclusions.

He remembered being gravely injured and fleeing back to the cave-dwelling last night. The Ice and Fire True Qi flared up inside his body, and that, compounded by the Demoness’s seductive tactics, made him finally lose his sanity.

”I’m sorry.” After a long pause, Sun Zhe managed to get out the three words.

At this moment, Su Nanzhi had her back to him, her hands crossed over her chest, unsure what to do. Her clothes were gone, leaving only a bra, and now even the bra had been torn into strips by Sun Zhe.

Sun Zhe clearly realized this. Enduring the severe pain in his body, he got out of bed, hurriedly picked up his t-shirt and jacket, and walked over to hand them to her.

”Nanzhi, if you don’t mind, you can wear mine.”

Su Nanzhi certainly didn’t stand on ceremony, quickly freeing one hand to snatch them.

Although they smelled of sweat, she had no other choice right now. Besides, she didn’t dislike Sun Zhe’s scent.

Sun Zhe stood behind her. Seeing her skin covered in black and blue bruises, and the bite marks on her neck, his guilt intensified.

”Nanzhi, what’s done is done. I’ll accept it if you want to hit me or yell at me.”

”But last night... I... I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

Su Nanzhi quickly got dressed and asked, ”What exactly happened after you went out last night?”

Sun Zhe sighed. ”It’s like this...”

「Later.」

After listening to Sun Zhe’s story, Su Nanzhi couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear. ”You’re lucky you even made it back alive.”

Sun Zhe felt equally terrified. ”That Priest was really horrifying. If I had been even a step slower last night, I probably would have been left for dead there.”

Su Nanzhi asked, ”So what should we do now?”

Sun Zhe said, ”We should pack up quickly and leave this place. We need to go back and tell Priest Yao about the situation here.”

”But how can you walk with your injuries? Forget about encountering those people you mentioned, we wouldn’t even be able to handle a few Jiao Beasts right now.”

”So we should just hide here?” Sun Zhe asked.

”What other choice is there?” Su Nanzhi retorted.

Sun Zhe said, ”That Priest wanted me to bring her to this cave-dwelling last night. She’s clearly interested in this place, so I’m worried she’ll come looking.”

Hearing this, Su Nanzhi frowned and asked, ”Could she be interested in the things inside that stone chamber?”

”What stone chamber?” Sun Zhe asked curiously.

Su Nanzhi turned to face him and said, ”After you went out, I wandered around the cave-dwelling for a bit and found another very large stone chamber inside.”

She added, ”There’s a skeleton in that chamber. I thought it was creepy at the time, so I didn’t go in to look.”

Sun Zhe nodded. ”There must be some kind of treasure in that chamber. Maybe it was left behind by the previous owner of Batian’s mother.”

As he spoke, he suddenly froze, looking at Su Nanzhi’s flushed face. ”Nanzhi, what’s wrong?”

”Pervert.” Su Nanzhi glanced at Sun Zhe’s lower body, at the unsightly thing pointing straight at her. Annoyed, she reached out and gave it a slap.

”OW!” Sun Zhe recoiled from the slap, his hands immediately flying down to cover himself as he let out a howl of pain.

”Nanzhi, why did you hit it? If it gets broken...”

Su Nanzhi gave him a huge eye-roll and said with a huff, ”Hitting it was letting you off easy! It should be chopped off, to stop you from thinking about victimizing people all day.”

Sun Zhe looked aggrieved. ”When have I ever thought about victimizing people?”

Su Nanzhi snorted and looked away. ”I’ll settle things with you when we get back to Huayang City.”

Hearing this, Sun Zhe’s expression turned serious. He stood up and said, ”You can hit me or yell at me, I’ll take it. I wouldn’t even mind if you strung me up and beat me!”

Hearing his words, a wicked idea suddenly popped into Su Nanzhi’s mind. She turned to face him. ”You said that yourself?”

A shiver went through Sun Zhe. He suddenly had a bad feeling but braced himself and said, ”Yes, I said that.”

Su Nanzhi gave him a mysterious smile, then turned, walked over, and picked up Sun Batian.

”Are you an exhibitionist? Hurry up and put your pants on. We’re going to check out that stone chamber.”

”If there’s really something valuable in there, we absolutely can’t let it fall into anyone else’s hands.”

Sun Zhe picked up his pants and put them on, but then he suddenly saw the crimson stain on the stone bed. His heart jolted, and he hurriedly chased after her. ”Nanzhi, was that your first time?”

”...”
