Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

After his shower, Sun Zhe waited for nearly half an hour before Zhu Yan finally finished getting ready.

He was somewhat exasperated by this and asked, ”Yan’Er, how come I never saw you this fond of dressing up when I first met you?”

Zhu Yan rolled her eyes at him. While applying lipstick in front of the mirror, she said, ”When I dress up to look beautiful, doesn’t it reflect well on you when you take me out?”

”Er... I guess there’s no arguing with that.”

Zhu Yan put down the lipstick, tossed her handbag to Sun Zhe, then went up and looped her arm through his. ”Should I wear stockings?”

”You absolutely have to!” Sun Zhe replied without a second thought. ”I need something to touch while I’m eating. How else am I supposed to have an appetite?”

Zhu Yan covered her mouth and giggled sweetly. ”Look how spoiled I’ve made you.”

”By the way, little rascal, speaking of which, what did you think of me when we first met?”

”Hmm… a perfect wife and mother—gentle and dignified. Back then, I seriously wanted you to be my mom.”

”And now?”

”Now that your true colors are showing, you’re just a little vixen.”

”Get outta here! I’ll smack you!”

Sun Zhe turned and ran. ”Spare me, Your Majesty!”

Amidst their playful banter, the two left the hotel and headed for the parking lot.

Zhu Yan drove the Accord she had rented after arriving in Xiong City. She took Sun Zhe to a restaurant near the hotel, where she had booked a private room.

In the cozy atmosphere of the private room, Sun Zhe ordered a table full of dishes and began to gorge himself without a care for his image.

Zhu Yan, however, was watching her figure and weight, so she only took a few bites before she started flipping through the photos on Sun Zhe’s phone.

”My god, is this some kind of Immortal Realm?”

”Strictly speaking, it’s a Spirit Realm. The kind of place where secluded masters go to cultivate.”

Zhu Yan stared at a photo of a Winged Dragon Bird. ”Does this thing really exist? If you hadn’t taken the picture yourself, I would’ve thought it was a movie special effect.”

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, her gaze freezing on a photo of a massive snake.

”This… such a huge snake? Is it real?”

Sun Zhe nodded, boasting, ”Of course it’s real. I even killed one.”

”Good heavens, does it have to be so terrifying?”

Sun Zhe put on a mysterious expression. ”Keep scrolling. There’s even more exciting stuff ahead.”

A moment later, Zhu Yan, who was still flipping through the photos, suddenly froze, her beautiful eyes quivering.

”Ah Zhe, this… what is this?”

”Is it a dragon?”

Sun Zhe leaned in close to her ear, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, and whispered, ”I took this secretly, so don’t tell anyone. Of course, you can tell Qiaoqiao.”

Although he had promised ”Brother Long” not to tell anyone, Zhu Yan and Ye Qiao weren’t ”anyone.”

”Oh my god… Am I dreaming? Do creatures like giant dragons really exist in this world?”

Sun Zhe grinned mischievously. ”What’s so great about a giant dragon? Don’t you get to eat one every day?”

”Get lost! I’m being serious. What you have is no giant dragon; it’s a tiny earthworm.”

Sun Zhe’s face instantly darkened. ”Zhu Yan, are you even listening to yourself?”

”Alright, alright, it’s a giant dragon! Happy now?”

”But seriously, Ah Zhe, just looking at this photo gives me an intense feeling of pressure.”

Sun Zhe asked, ”And seeing mine doesn’t give you a sense of pressure?”

”Stop it, you’re being shameless!”

Sun Zhe slid a hand down onto her thigh, feeling the silky texture of her stockings with his palm. ”So,” he asked, ”after seeing these photos, has it shattered your perception of the world?”

”Yes!” Zhu Yan nodded vigorously. She ignored his wandering hand that was making its way up her short skirt and continued to examine the photos, even zooming in for a closer look. She suddenly asked, ”So is all this gold, silver, and jewels real too?”

”Of course. I grabbed a whole bunch. I’ll give it all to you later to put in our safe.”

”That must be worth a fortune, right?”

Sun Zhe thought for a moment. ”Even if the three of us did nothing but eat, drink, and have fun every day, we couldn’t spend it all in several lifetimes.”

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something. He quickly took a piece of Candle Dragon Stele from his Storage Treasure and handed it to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan looked at him, puzzled. ”And what’s this?”

”This is a Candle Dragon Stele, also known as a White Silk Hulus. It’s a very precious medicinal item that grants immunity to all poisons when worn. This piece is for you. I’ll give Qiaoqiao hers in person later.”

Zhu Yan took it and brought it to her nose for a sniff, smiling. ”It smells quite nice. How thoughtful of you, bringing back gifts for us from your trip.”

Sun Zhe said, ”If you were to measure this thing in terms of money, it would probably be enough for us to live off for several lifetimes as well.”

”Are you exaggerating?”

Sun Zhe shook his head. ”Not at all. After all, rarity creates value.”

”Besides, this thing isn’t just rare; it’s genuinely effective. Let me put it this way: do you know about agarwood?”

”Mhm, a little. I’ve heard the wild kind is very expensive.”

A smug look appeared on Sun Zhe’s face. ”An entire log of agarwood that’s been buried for ages is nothing compared to this piece of Candle Dragon Stele.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yan quickly put it away safely. ”Then I’d better keep this safe. I can’t lose it.”

”Yeah. We’ll have it made into a pendant for you to wear around your neck later.”

”Won’t that be too extravagant?”

”Not at all. If you don’t use it, it’s meaningless, no matter how valuable it is.”

”That’s true. I didn’t think our little rascal would be so considerate of his family. Not bad, not bad at all. Here, you’ve earned this piece of meat.”

Sun Zhe suddenly dove into her embrace. ”But I want these two pieces of meat.”

”Hey, don’t… that tickles! Your mouth is still greasy.”

Sun Zhe abruptly pulled his head back and grinned wickedly. ”Yan’Er, after that meal, I feel my energy’s back. How about we…”

”No! Wait until we get back. We’re still in a restaurant.”

”Then let me play with your legs.”

”Go ahead. I’ll look at your phone.”

It wasn’t until after eleven at night that they finally returned to the hotel together.

His Primordial Qi restored after a satisfying meal, Sun Zhe was ready for another campaign the moment they got back. He swept Zhu Yan into his arms as soon as they were through the door.

Zhu Yan had originally wanted to rest for the night, as she was still swollen and sore, but she couldn’t resist Sun Zhe’s seduction. She quickly got swept up in the moment, shifting from passive to active.

A trail of discarded clothes littered the path from the living room to the bedroom.

The battle officially began with a long, delicate moan drifting from the bedroom.

「The next day.」

Sun Zhe woke up early, feeling refreshed and full of energy. As he got out of bed, he surveyed the chaos in the room and couldn’t help but recall the previous night’s madness.

”Yan’Er, want to come with me?”

”Mmm… don’t bother me. I want to sleep a little longer.”

Sun Zhe tucked her in, adjusted the air conditioner’s temperature, and tidied himself up a bit before heading out. He planned to visit Su Nanzhi first, then check on Bai Ran.

However, just as he finished freshening up and was about to leave, he unexpectedly ran into Ye Qiao, who was just coming back.

”Bro!”

Her eyes reddened. Ye Qiao dropped her bag and threw herself into Sun Zhe’s arms, finally letting out all the longing she had felt for the past several days.

Sun Zhe spun her around a few times before setting her down and straightening her hair. ”You have dark circles under your eyes.”

”Don’t even ask! Last night’s rehearsal went until four in the morning. I only managed to doze for a bit.”

Sun Zhe temporarily shelved his plan to visit Bai Ran. ”Let me massage them for you,” he said, his voice full of concern.

Ye Qiao buried her face in his chest again, nuzzling him like a kitten. ”Bro, I missed you so much.”
