The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty

"That’s great!"

In her excitement, Lv Que felt a surge of blood rise in her chest and coughed up another mouthful.

"Hurry, go meditate and stabilize yourself." Leng Ning helped Lv Que sit down.

Lv Que suddenly clutched her lower abdomen, her expression one of extreme annoyance. "Damn it, my period came early..."

"Then let me help you back to your room to rest," Leng Ning said with a wry smile.

So much for Lv Que’s little plan.

At the very least, she would have to wait another seven days.

"Sister Ning, please tell Divine Doctor Jiang what I asked you to. As long as he doesn’t mind, I’m willing to ’run the red light’." Lv Que was truly speechless.

Leng Ning promised again that she would pass on the message if she got the chance.

However, she herself was now in a state of utter confusion.

After all, she had met Jiang Xinghai once before.

But now, at their second meeting, she was supposed to offer up her body. She couldn’t help but feel a bit cheap.

’What if Jiang Xinghai rejects me? Wouldn’t that be humiliating?’

’If I can’t even get what I want, how could I possibly pass on Lv Que’s message?’

「Five minutes later.」

After helping Lv Que back to her room, Leng Ning was just about to head back when she suddenly got a call from Chuchu.

"Go take a quick shower. You’ve only got ten minutes, so be fast." Chuchu hung up as soon as she finished speaking.

「Ten minutes later.」

Wearing a bathrobe, Leng Ning returned to the edge of the medicinal garden.

Her face was flushed, and her breathing grew ragged.

This sort of behavior was truly improper at the Mu Family residence.

But she’d brazenly done it anyway.

It was utterly mortifying.

When Chuchu saw Leng Ning, she quickly waved her over. "Hurry and come in."

"Divine Doctor Jiang... did he take down the array?"

Leng Ning hurried over and saw that the faint glow at the ten-meter red line had vanished.

Moreover, Chuchu had already set up a tent in the medicinal garden, just three meters from Jiang Xinghai.

"Yes. Lv Que’s trespassing earlier did alert him. He immediately sent me a warning via Divine Sense that the array would only be down for half an hour... that’s why I told you to hurry and shower." Chuchu quickly took Leng Ning’s arm and led her past the ten-meter red line.

In truth, Jiang Xinghai still had no idea that it was Leng Ning staying with him tonight.

Because of this, Chuchu had very mixed feelings.

’To have to give such a rare opportunity to Leng Ning for free...’

"Chuchu, I will remember this favor," Leng Ning said gratefully. Of course, she didn’t want Chuchu to get nothing out of this.

"Actually, helping you is also helping myself. I hope that after tonight, you’ll be able to stand on the same side as me." Chuchu didn’t spell it out, but Leng Ning seemed to catch her drift.

You see, the only reason Chuchu was still serving in the Black Cloak organization was because of a suggestion from Jiang Xinghai.

Given the situation at the time, if she had directly abandoned the Black Cloak, her Chu Family would have certainly been targeted by them.

By acting as an undercover agent, she could not only mitigate the danger to the Chu Family but also use her position to gather more information on the Black Cloak to help Jiang Xinghai.

Now, she was on her own. If Leng Ning could join her on the same side, nothing would be better.

The two of them working together inside the Black Cloak would undoubtedly be able to provide Jiang Xinghai with a great deal of secret information.

"You should lie down first. He won’t come out of his meditation until midnight. I’ll get going," Chuchu said from inside the tent, finally rising to her feet.

"There are still two hours until midnight. I’ll feel really awkward waiting here all by myself. Why don’t... why don’t you stay and keep me company?" Leng Ning bit her lip, having made a difficult decision.

’She had never imagined that there would be a third person present for her first time.’

"Are you sure? We’ll serve him together?" Chuchu, on the other hand, was delighted by the idea.

"Mhm, I’m sure."

Leng Ning lowered her head. "With you here, you can... guide me where I’m lacking. After all, it really is my first time."

"Hehehe, if Lv Que found out about this, I wonder if she’d fly into a rage out of sheer embarrassment..." Chuchu suddenly let out a mischievous laugh.

Earlier, when Lv Que had wanted to stay, both she and Leng Ning had shot the idea down immediately.

Neither of them was comfortable with a third person being present.

For the two of them to change their minds so quickly was absurdly ironic.

"Actually, even if we had agreed to let Lv Que stay, it wouldn’t have worked out for her tonight. Not for at least another seven days," Leng Ning chuckled.

"Don’t tell me... she got her period?" Chuchu said with a knowing look.

Leng Ning just smiled without confirming or denying it.

"Alright, I’ll bite the bullet and join you tonight. You lie down first, I need to take a quick shower, otherwise I’ll be covered in stinky sweat... Oh, crap!" Chuchu glanced at the time. There were less than ten minutes left before Jiang Xinghai’s "half-hour" window closed and the array reactivated!

"What about the fountain pool by the rockery..." Leng Ning pointed toward the rockery, a few dozen meters away.

"I guess my only choice is to bathe out in the open," Chuchu said, looking troubled.

But she refused to wait on Jiang Xinghai while covered in sweat, afraid of leaving a bad impression.

In the blink of an eye, Chuchu dashed out of the medicinal garden and was gone.

Growing up, it wasn’t as if she’d never been to a public beach.

A quick rinse in the Mu Family’s rockery fountain in the middle of the night was no big deal.
