Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

The sky gradually turned white.

Mu Qingyan sat at the edge of the pond in the valley, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the water’s reflection.

After Sun Zhe’s persuasion, she calmed down and thought carefully about the issue.

She knew it wasn’t Sun Zhe’s fault for taking advantage of the situation; at that time, there was no other choice, and she vaguely remembered that she was indeed the one who initiated it last night...

What left her feeling helpless was that she actually benefited from it—after that encounter with Sun Zhe last night, the Dao Inquiry Lotus within her began to mature slowly, her cultivation ceased to decline, and even her life-threatening Dao Foundation injury stabilized.

”Perhaps it’s destiny; to gain something, one must pay the corresponding price.”

”This mysterious little fellow might just be the opportunity I obtain in the Outer Wilderness.”

”Now, as long as I acquire the Sun Lotus, my Dao Foundation injury should be resolved.”

”But... how should I face this little fellow in the future?”

As she pondered, a sudden sound of footsteps came from behind her.

Sun Zhe stood beside her, carefully holding a large bowl woven from leaves, and said with a smile, ”Fairy, this is the Hundred Flower Dew I just collected from the forest. You just broke... well, drinking this will greatly benefit you.”

Mu Qingyan was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up, looking at him with a complicated expression.

Sun Zhe handed the leaf bowl to her, ”Fairy, drink it.”

Mu Qingyan took the leaf bowl and drank it all in one go, then gazed at him with an undeniable tone, ”In the future, do not betray me.”

”Ah?”

Hearing this, Sun Zhe was stunned, not quite understanding what she meant by those sudden words.

Mu Qingyan said sternly, ”Do not betray me.”

Sun Zhe suddenly understood her meaning, and his emotions became complex.

”Fairy, do you mean... you want me to take responsibility for you?”

Mu Qingyan let out a cold snort, a hint of blush appeared on her face that she herself hadn’t noticed, and she turned away, her tone carrying a slight threat, ”You took my virginity and want to just walk away?”

”This...”

Sun Zhe couldn’t help but groan internally, realizing he was being clung to.

But on second thought, being clung to by such a stunning beauty didn’t seem too bad.

”Ah, Fairy, I won’t lie to you. I have many women around me. I might not betray you, but honestly, I can’t promise to be single-minded towards you. If you mind... you can consider it more carefully.”

However.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyan showed no reaction upon hearing this, remaining quite calm.

”No problem. On the path of cultivation, it’s common for powerful cultivators to have many Dao partners. You just must not betray me, and also, I don’t allow you to remain so commonplace and weak. I want you to ascend to the peak and overlook all beings.”

Sun Zhe smiled bitterly, ”I’ll do my best.”

Mu Qingyan gazed at him seriously, ”Not do your best, you must. I’m entrusting myself to you now, becoming your Dao partner, but you also need to have the strength to protect me.”

”With my looks, in the ruthless cultivator world, I’ll surely be coveted by others. So, can you handle it?”

Sun Zhe nodded with determination, ”I will!”

Mu Qingyan said nothing more, taking Sun Zhe’s hand and leading him to a flat area nearby.

”Kneel.”

”Ah?”

”Kneel.”

As she spoke, she already knelt down herself.

Sun Zhe felt bewildered but knelt beside her anyway.

Mu Qingyan then raised a hand, looking at the distant sky with a firm and pious expression.

”Ancestor of the Mu family, I, Mu Qingyan, set my heart here, determined to join with... right, what is your name?”

Sun Zhe cautiously asked, ”By the way, what are we doing here?”

Mu Qingyan replied, ”Becoming Dao partners.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe’s heart trembled, ”Fairy, are you serious? Are we really getting hitched this abruptly?”

Mu Qingyan replied, ”Since we already have skin-to-skin contact, becoming your Dao partner is the only way to ease my mind. So, what is your name?”

”Uh, my name is Sun...”

”Scoundrel, so you’re hiding here!”

Suddenly, a shout of fury came from above the canyon.

Sun Zhe was startled, quickly stood up, and looked up to see two elders standing in the sky, one of whom was the Wang Family’s second elder he had seen before in the illusion array space.

”Damn, they found us? These guys are truly persistent.”

Mu Qingyan lowered her gaze, secretly observing the two elders in the sky, and used Divine Sense to transmit to Sun Zhe, ”These two are powerful. Later, I will use a Secret Technique to hold them, and you find a chance to escape.”

Hearing this, Sun Zhe felt warmth in his heart, taking a deep look at Mu Qingyan.

They had just met, and she was ready to risk her life to protect him?

He never expected that this seemingly aloof and proud fairy was so passionate.

”Fairy, you don’t have to do this.”

Mu Qingyan said, ”My surname is Mu, given name Qingyan.”

Sun Zhe took her hand tenderly, ”I’ve already said I won’t betray you; I can’t let a woman shield me. Besides, this trouble is my own doing, you shouldn’t get involved.”

”I, Mu Qingyan, am not one to fear death. Now that we are Dao partners, we should be of one heart, what’s there to talk about involvement?”

At this moment, the second elder of the Wang Family in the sky spoke, ”The scoundrel is quite amorous, even at death’s door, still flirting with his little lady?”

”If you kneel and surrender now and hand over the treasure, I might consider giving you a swift death, leaving your corpse whole. Otherwise, I will make you beg for life and death... and make this peerless fairy beside you become the cultivation furnace for my Wang Family disciples, available to anyone at will!”

As he spoke, silhouettes flashed in the sky from all sides.

Led by Wang Yujun, the Wang Family disciples rode their swords and arranged themselves into a killing formation in the air, surrounding Sun Zhe and Mu Qingyan.

Sun Zhe’s eyes gleamed with killing intent, coldly gazing at the second elder of the Wang Family.

”Old dog, for what you just said... I must kill you!”

At this moment, the voice of Little Dragon Girl echoed in Sun Zhe’s mind, ”Xiao Zhezi, these two old fellows are injured, they can’t harm you in a short time.”

Then added, ”I sensed another Dao Inquiry Lotus not far ahead, and there are people guarding it. Why not lead these people there directly?”

Sun Zhe immediately had a plan in mind, suddenly pulling Mu Qingyan into his arms and flying skyward with her.

”Qingyan, is the Dao Inquiry Lotus over there?”

”Yes, that way, do you want to go now?”

Sun Zhe lightly smiled, ”Since we’re running for our lives, why not seize the Sun Lotus along the way.”

Mu Qingyan was full of confusion, not knowing what Sun Zhe intended to do.

”Hold tight, Qingyan, I’ll take you to snatch the treasure!”

While in mid-air, Sun Zhe unleashed a powerful punch, causing a dragon roar to reverberate in the void, directly blasting a Wang Family disciple in front of them into a bloody mist.
