Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Deep within the majestic palace.

Xia Shiqing lay on the lavish bed, her body clad only in a pair of sheer stockings that wrapped her from her toes to her slender waist.

Even as she lay down, those alabaster curves appeared full and proud.

The twin crimson points on the peaks were vivid and enticing, like breathtaking accents.

Thinking of what was about to happen, her expression was calm and indifferent, her star-like eyes cold and piercing, as if she were merely an observer.

Yet the slightly smudged lipstick and a few loose strands of hair sticking to the corner of her mouth lent her a touch of poignant beauty, arousing a desire to cherish her.

Not far from the cabinet.

The man, bare-bottomed, rummaged through the drawer, retrieving all sorts of bottles, pouring the precious elixirs into his palm.

Xia Shiqing glanced at him and said, "Stop taking those, if you keep taking them, you’ll really ruin yourself."

But the man paid no heed, still consuming the elixirs, then turned to her with a grin and said, "My dear, it’s rare for you to come back. Tonight, even if it kills me, I’ll make sure you find heaven in ecstasy."

He added pitifully, "I’ve been holding back all this time while you were away."

Hearing this, Xia Shiqing felt amused inside and replied lightly, "You have so many concubines and the beautiful Empress herself by your side. How could you be holding back?"

The man chuckled, approaching the bed with his grand weapon, "Why, is the Empress Consort jealous?"

Xia Shiqing remained expressionless, "Why would I be jealous?"

The man suddenly lunged onto her, pinning her down, "In any case, tonight, I belong only to you."

Xia Shiqing did not resist, letting the man nibble on her neck and collarbones, and allowed his mischievous hand to venture into the lush valley, occasionally letting out a soft moan in cooperation.

The man suddenly knelt upright, passionately admiring the beauty below.

Xia Shiqing blushed prettily, "Why are you looking at me?"

The man picked up her foot encased in the sheer stockings and played with it, his fingers squeezing the crystal grape-like toes, "Shiqing, you are truly beautiful."

Xia Shiqing lifted her other leg, rubbing her soft foot against his chest, "Are you coming or not?"

"Wait a moment, I want to take a good look at you."

Xia Shiqing asked, "Waiting for the medicine to kick in?"

"The way you say it..."

Soon after.

As the man hoisted her long legs onto his shoulders, intense, yet deliberately vocal cries filled the entire room.

Outside the room.

A few maidservants blushed at the sound of Xia Shiqing’s cries.

One maid whispered, "Why does Lady Qingfei always end up being treated so harshly when she returns to His Majesty?"

"Shh—keep your voice down, if you’re overheard, it’s your head!"

"But I think His Majesty favors the Empress over Lady Qingfei."

"Well, duh, one is an Empress, the other a consort. How can you compare them?"

"..."

During their discussion, the sounds from the room abruptly ceased.

The man, lying on Xia Shiqing’s stomach, gasped heavily, drenched in sweat, too exhausted to continue.

Xia Shiqing patted his back, "Even after all those elixirs, just a few minutes?"

"Sorry, Shiqing, I... I need a rest before going on."

"No need."

Xia Shiqing sat up, "Health comes first. You labor over national matters all day and night, you should take care of yourself."

"Sigh!"

The man sighed deeply, sitting up slowly, looking at the stunning enchantress beside him that could drive men mad, but feeling powerless.

Blame it on these years of indulgence and nightly revelry, causing problems for his body.

Xia Shiqing got off the bed and, looking at the pile of disordered garments on the floor, said, "I’m going back."

The man asked, "Aren’t you going to see your son?"

Xia Shiqing shook her head, a pang of pain in her heart, "I’m tired, another day."

The man was puzzled, "Why don’t you stay at your own home when you visit?"

Xia Shiqing said nothing, with a wave of her jade hand, she retrieved fresh clothes from her Storage Treasure and changed, heading straight for the door.

Watching her departing figure, the man sighed again.

He knew that ever since that incident, Xia Shiqing only had hatred for him.

Even though he had tried to make amends over the years, her hatred was unable to be dissolved.

On the quiet palace path.

Xia Shiqing’s steps were somewhat unsteady, feeling an unbearable itch below.

This unresolved state was truly uncomfortable.

Especially those elixirs the man took, which also greatly affected the woman, leaving her to endure the torment after he finished.

"I wonder if Xiao Zhe is home yet?"

For some reason, she suddenly thought of Sun Zhe.

...

...

In the underground fighting arena.

On the stage.

As the man was slashed to the ground by the woman, the fierce fight concluded.

Looking at the disfigured man on stage, Chen Ruolong beat his chest, "Useless, absolutely useless! Such a disgrace to us men!"

Sun Zhe shook his head, "Forget it, let’s just head back."

"..."

After paying the fees and leaving the underground arena, Sun Zhe wanted to head straight home.

But Chen Ruolong wore a mysterious look, "Boss, what’s the point in going home on such a long night? Want to have some fun?"

"What kind of fun?"

With a roguish expression, Chen Ruolong replied, "What else do we gather for, other than women?"

Hearing this, Sun Zhe gave a knowing smile, "Honestly, I’ve been holding back."

"Geez, boss, you’re still full of energy... not enough excitement last night?"

Sun Zhe proudly said, "With my stamina, I need at least seven or eight a night."

Chen Ruolong exclaimed, "Really?"

"Why, want to see?"

Chen Ruolong pondered carefully, then suddenly took out his phone and made a call.

After hanging up, he said to Sun Zhe, "Alright, I’ve got you covered for tonight."

Sun Zhe raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean? A club? Or those internet-famous starlets you mentioned?"

Chen Ruolong waved it off, "A club is boring, and those starlets can’t be arranged quickly."

"So where to?"

Chen Ruolong said straightforwardly, "To my girlfriend, the two of us together."

"Pfft—!"

Hearing this, Sun Zhe, who was drinking water, couldn’t hold back and sprayed it out.

"Xiao Long, you’re... damn..."

Chen Ruolong knew Sun Zhe misunderstood and quickly explained, "No, no, boss, you’ve got it wrong, not a proper girlfriend!"

"Um... how to say, she was someone I kept before, but later owed me a lot of money for certain reasons, couldn’t pay it back, so now she repays me with her body, I can call on her anytime."

"Is that so?"

Chen Ruolong nodded emphatically, adding, "Besides, boss, let me tell you, this girl is wild, I truly can’t handle her alone!"

"I figured with your extraordinary prowess, it would be great if you could help me with her."

Sun Zhe had an eccentric expression, "I’ve tried 1V2, but never 2V1, it feels weird."

"What’s so weird? Life is all about experiences. In any case, boss, tonight, just go with me and we’ll handle her together!"

"Once you see her, you won’t be disappointed!"

"..."
