Chapter 742 - 716: Yuening’s Invitation
The words Xia Shiyue said over the phone made Sun Zhe ponder almost all night.
Because of those words, he gained a clear self-awareness and understood his positioning.
Even with talent, unlimited potential, and a strong enough background, to ’cash in’ on these things, one must start as a pawn.
And to gain anything, one must pay something in return.
He has always disliked the circles of those big figures, finding them troublesome, but for Leng Yueshuang’s sake, he decided to play in those circles.
...
The next day.
Sun Zhe went early in the morning to villa No. 32 to pick up Qi Xue, taking her to the underground martial arts arena.
"You might have to stay at my place for a few days. If progress is slow, it might take ten days or half a month. Are you ready?"
"Mm, I’m ready, and I told Xiaojie."
Qi Xue sat in the passenger seat, quietly watching the street scenes outside the car window, and asked, "Are you really going to the Nascent Soul District?"
Sun Zhe nodded.
Qi Xue said, "At that time, the third elder from the Qi Family will come looking for you. But I’ve told him not to give you any trouble."
Sun Zhe chuckled, "I’m not going to the Nascent Soul District because of any Qi Family third elder. I just want to claim the title of Martial Hero."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xue turned her head to stare at his profile, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a mysterious light, suddenly finding this man very enigmatic.
"Have you reached the Nascent Soul Realm then?"
Sun Zhe waved his hand, "Alright, leave matters of society alone, little kid should stop asking."
Qi Xue snorted lightly, saying no more.
Sun Zhe asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet."
"Then treat me to some steamed buns later."
"Sure."
...
Underground Martial Arts Arena Trading Area.
Undying Pavilion.
When Chen Ruoyi, Chen Ruolong, and Feng Ling saw Sun Zhe push Qi Xue through the door, and the two were even chatting and laughing, they suddenly had the feeling like the sun was rising from the west.
But Sun Zhe didn’t explain, directly pushing Qi Xue into a small partition.
"It’s going to hurt a lot, do you want to take a nap first?"
"How painful?"
Sun Zhe thought for a moment and said, "Imagine bones grinding in your flesh, you can even hear the rubbing sound of bones stirring in flesh... how painful do you think that would be?"
Listening to Sun Zhe’s quite deliberate description, Qi Xue couldn’t help but shiver, her pretty face turning pale.
"Then I’d better take a nap. Will you give me an anesthetic?"
Sun Zhe shook his head, "Anesthetic is harmful. I have ways to put you into a sleep, to the point where even if I harvest your kidney, you wouldn’t feel a thing."
"Oh."
Sun Zhe suddenly asked, "But you need to be stripped first, can you accept that?"
Qi Xue slightly nodded, appearing indifferent, "Just don’t take advantage."
Sun Zhe smiled calmly, "Rest assured, if you wake up and find that the membrane is gone, I’ll give my life to you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xue’s pretty face flushed red, thinking how he could say such shameless words.
"I...don’t talk nonsense, what membrane...I actually...actually have been in a relationship before."
Sun Zhe smiled without speaking, knowing Qi Xue was lying.
Yesterday, he had already seen it with the Yin Yang X-ray Vision, how could it be fake?
"I’ll hold you to the bed first."
"Thank you."
Momentarily.
Sun Zhe looked at the fair jade body he had undressed himself in front of him, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, as the Yang Qi in his body momentarily surged.
Qi Xue noticed his gaze, thinking to herself that all men are the same, she asked, "Aren’t you afraid of Yueshuang finding out?"
Sun Zhe shrugged, turned and fetched the silver needles, "I didn’t do anything to you."
Qi Xue said, "I won’t tell Yueshuang about you and Xiaoling. But I hope you treat Yueshuang better, and not fool around in the future."
Sun Zhe smiled without a word, placing the needle pouch aside, then took out a shiny scalpel.
"What are you going to do?"
Sun Zhe said, "Peel back the flesh on your arm and connect the bone inside."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xue’s exquisite pretty face visibly turned into an "囧" expression, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
Sun Zhe suddenly asked, "Do you know how boneless chicken feet are made? What I’m going to do to you next is pretty much like that."
Qi Xue couldn’t help but recall the scene of removing bones from chicken feet, her pretty face turning pale, nervousness causing her stomach to ache, she trembled as she spoke, "Didn’t you say you’d put me to sleep first?"
She truly couldn’t understand how people in the medical field could say such things so calmly.
Sun Zhe slapped his forehead, "Oh right, I almost forgot while chatting with you. I’ll seal your sleep acupuncture point to put you to sleep."
Qi Xue stared at the knife in his hand, "Do treatments even work this way?"
Sun Zhe said, "Well, that’s how my grandfather taught me. When I was a kid, I treated injured small animals near the village like this. I remember a monkey whose leg was bitten off by a leopard, it took me three days to fix it."
"You..."
Qi Xue suddenly wanted to hit him, feeling aggrieved, "Is your home on the African savannah?"
Sun Zhe said solemnly, "Rest assured, since I promised, I’ll definitely cure you. Later I will give you an elixir to prevent infection and inflammation."
"..."
...
Five hours later.
Sun Zhe walked out of the small partition, exhausted, took off the blood-stained medical gloves and said to Feng Ling, "Xiaoling, please take care of her for the next few days."
Chen Ruolong came up and asked, "Boss, why so much blood? I could smell the metallic scent outside, did you dismantle her and harvest her kidneys in there?"
Sun Zhe raised an eyebrow, "Why don’t you try and see for yourself?"
Chen Ruolong shivered in fear and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, what happened between you two? Why are you treating her?"
Sun Zhe laughed, "Because she paid a lot. We’re running a business, how can we turn away money?"
"With the three of you here all day, fifty thousand per hour, doesn’t that cost money?"
"Hehe, that’s true. But boss, I think we found a new business opportunity here."
"What new business opportunity?"
Chen Ruolong said, "First beat people up and then let them come here for treatment. We call this expanding our business."
Sun Zhe said, "As a healer, one should have compassion."
Hearing this, Chen Ruoyi and Feng Ling couldn’t help but roll their eyes intensely beside him.
Chen Ruoyi complained, "If you’re compassionate, then everyone’s a living Bodhisattva."
Sun Zhe laughed heartily, "It’s lunch time, what do you guys want to eat for lunch?"
"Boss, you?"
Sun Zhe thought, "After just dismantling her bones, I suddenly feel like eating sparerib hotpot."
Hearing this, the three of them couldn’t help but dry-heave.
"Forget it, boss, you better go eat by yourself, the three of us will just grab a bite nearby."
"Then remember to keep an eye on Qi Xue. Let me know immediately if anything happens."
After leaving the underground martial arts arena, Sun Zhe went directly to a hotpot restaurant.
Just after sitting down for a little while, his phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, it turned out to be Leng Yuening calling.
"Are you free?"
"Yes, what’s up?"
"Let’s meet, just you and me."
Sun Zhe paused, thinking maybe this girl wants to rekindle a past romance?
"I was just about to eat, sparerib hotpot, how about you come over?"
"Okay. Send me the location."
"..."
