Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Time flows like water.

A fortnight swiftly passed.

Another sunny morning arrived.

The warm sunlight bathed the earth, illuminating everything; morning mist lingered in the valleys, flanked by lush vegetation and fragrant flowers, akin to an Immortal Realm.

”Boom——!”

A towering column of water suddenly erupted several zhang high from the surging waves in the Dragon Pool.

A petite figure burst forth from the water, dragging a large fish over two meters long with one hand, and lightly flew to the shore, landing steadily.

The Little Dragon Girl casually dropped the freshly caught fish and looked at the Flying Star Puppet sitting silently on a large rock, saying, ”Master, you should rest first. I’ll eat something and then help Xiao Zhezi with the protection.”

The statue-like Flying Star Puppet slowly turned its head towards the Little Dragon Girl, ”No need, your Xiao Zhezi should be done soon.”

Feeling a bit uneasy under the lifeless gaze of the Flying Star Puppet, the Little Dragon Girl turned to look at the giant bud floating above the pool, and wondered, ”I only took three days to absorb two Great Demons’ corpses, why does it take Xiao Zhezi so long to complete the Dao Principle?”

”Logically, it should take just a day or two to complete.”

Long Youyou gently shook her head, indicating she was also unsure.

If not for still being able to sense Sun Zhe’s life aura, she would have thought Sun Zhe hadn’t survived the ordeal and had perished with his Dao dissipated.

After a moment of silence, Long Youyou said, ”For a cultivator born in the Kunlun Ancestral Land, passing this ordeal to complete the Dao Principle is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.”

She continued, ”But once this hurdle is crossed, the path of cultivation will be smooth, and their talent and potential far surpass those born in the Outer Continent.”

”Yueqing, do you know why the Outer Continent bears such hostility towards the Kunlun Ancestral Land?”

”Outer World Cultivators disdain the Kunlun Ancestral Land and look down upon its cultivators, yet over the years, they have always attempted to invade the Kunlun Ancestral Land.”

At these words, the Little Dragon Girl shook her head like a rattle drum, ”Why is that?”

Though she might seem knowledgeable in front of Sun Zhe, often able to provide answers, she felt clueless in front of Long Youyou.

Long Youyou said, ”It’s because any cultivator emerging from the Kunlun Ancestral Land is invariably a supreme powerhouse who reigns over an era.”

”Subsequent analysis by the ancestors of the Outer Continent concluded that the so-called Kunlun Ancestral Land is the master of all Dragon Veins in the world. Even the lands of the Outer Domain were initially separated from the main Dragon Vein of Kunlun.”

The Little Dragon Girl nodded, ”So even though Earth’s Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi has dried up, the main Dragon Vein remains, giving creatures born on Earth some innate advantage over those from the Outer Domain?”

”Exactly.”

”Master, you know so much. Disciple is enlightened.”

The Little Dragon Girl appeared obedient, her face full of admiration.

If Sun Zhe could see the usually high-and-mighty Sister Long in such a demeanor, one could only wonder what he might think.

Long Youyou looked at her with a kind gaze, just about to speak when her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly looked skyward.

”Yueqing, it’s coming.”

The Little Dragon Girl also looked up at the sky, surprised to find a mass of dark clouds had appeared at some unknown time.

The dark clouds obscured the sky, as vast as a gigantic rotating vortex, with its center resembling a gigantic eye peering down at the vast earth, invoking an inexplicable sense of dread.

”Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the dark clouds, as if a giant beast was soaring, seemingly brewing some unknown terror.

Long Youyou solemnly said, ”Blood-colored Tribulation Thunder... Xiao Zhezi might not withstand it.”

The Little Dragon Girl clenched her pink fists, beginning to get nervous.

Though she didn’t understand the power of the Blood-colored Tribulation Thunder, to her, who had already experienced a Heavenly Tribulation, the mere aura emanating from the brewing Blood-colored Tribulation Thunder in those clouds was a hundred times more terrifying than what she’d endured before!

”Master, what should we do now?”

Long Youyou sighed softly, slowly standing up from the large rock, looking at the giant flower bud blooming above the Dragon Pool.

Petal layers of the giant lotus unfurled outward, emitting a mysterious brilliant radiance, with the air carrying a faint sweet fragrance rich in profound Dao Rhythms.

Sun Zhe sat cross-legged at the center, covered in mystical golden patterns on his bare skin.

Long Youyou suddenly gestured with her hand, seeing the inverted scale placed not far away fly into her hand.

She then took out a seemingly ordinary bamboo hat from it and tossed it to Sun Zhe, saying, ”Put this on, it will let you temporarily evade the Tribulation Thunder.”

Hearing this, Sun Zhe quickly grabbed the bamboo hat and put it on his head, and in the next moment, the terrifying Tribulation Cloud in the sky dispersed and vanished.

Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

”Thank you, Your Highness.”

Sun Zhe clasped his fists to express his gratitude to Long Youyou, his cross-legged body suddenly soaring up, leaving a trail of light arc afterimage in the void, and in the blink of an eye, he landed in front of the two women.

He was about to speak, but then saw the disdain on the Little Dragon Girl’s face as she looked at him with a look reserved for a pervert.

”Sister Long, why are you looking at me like that?”

The Little Dragon Girl snorted softly, turned her face away, and scolded, ”Pervert, shameless, my master is here, hurry and put on some clothes!”

”My gosh!”

Sun Zhe exclaimed in realization that he was completely bare, and immediately ran to the side, naked, to find his White Jade Ring, from which he retrieved new clothes to put on.

In the original spot.

Long Youyou watched his retreating figure, with a pensive look on her face.

The Little Dragon Girl walked over to her, sheepishly smiling, ”Sorry, Master, Xiao Zhezi is just used to it in front of me... I’ll talk to him properly later.”

Long Youyou said indifferently, ”It’s fine, as your Master, I am indifferent to these physiological matters.”

Soon after.

Sun Zhe, now dressed, returned to the two women, sincerely thanking Long Youyou.

When the Blood-colored Tribulation Thunder was brewing, only despair filled his heart, with no confidence he could endure it.

Unexpectedly, Long Youyou had a magical treasure that could temporarily avoid the Tribulation Thunder.

The Little Dragon Girl adorably tilted her head, looked Sun Zhe up and down, then patted his shoulder smiling, ”Not bad, Xiao Zhezi, worthy of being my Yao Yueqing’s little brother, who would have thought you’d actually complete the Dao Principle.”

”Hmm... your body is sturdier, and your aura much deeper and steadier.”

Sun Zhe looked at the Little Dragon Girl before him, noticing that she too had changed significantly; the small dragon horns on her forehead had faint golden patterns, even her eyelashes and eyeliner had turned into a sparkling gold.

Her demonic vertical pupils were also more intimidating than before.

”Sister Long, when did you come out of seclusion?”

”I was done in three days. But you, just absorbing a lotus flower took you half a month.”

”What? Half a month?”

Sun Zhe’s eyes widened, suddenly remembering Leng Yuening, and immediately his Divine Sense entered the Ring Space, finding Leng Yuening wandering about idly.

This is when Long Youyou spoke again: ”Your tribulation isn’t over, once you remove that tribulation hat, the earlier Tribulation Thunder will reappear, so you must prepare yourself adequately before facing it again.”

”Right now, first head to the Emperor’s Tomb to seek the Dragon Spirit Immortal Herb. Wake me when you reach the Emperor’s Tomb.”

As she spoke, her Divine Sense had already left the Flying Star Puppet and returned to the Little Dragon Girl’s Sea of Consciousness, falling into slumber.

The Little Dragon Girl stretched lazily, yawning, ”I’m going to sleep too. You make the journey on your own, and take good care of your little girlfriend in the meantime.”

”...”
