Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Chapter 638: Chapter 616: This Is a Kind of Flame

"Is that so... it’s just as well she left."

Thinking of Qing Kui, Sun Zhe’s expression became somewhat complicated, with a hint of reluctance in his heart.

In fact, he had originally planned to release Qing Kui’s Divine Sense Restriction and completely restore his freedom once this ordeal was over.

Because he had long told Qing Kui—when one day his strength surpassed Qing Kui, and Qing Kui was no longer a threat to him, he would restore Qing Kui’s freedom.

"Xiao Zhezi, your mother is almost here, I better hide first."

Just as Sun Zhe was lost in thought, Little Dragon Girl suddenly transformed into a silver light and slipped into the White Jade Ring.

Two minutes hadn’t passed after Little Dragon Girl entered the ring when urgent footsteps could be heard from outside the cave.

Xia Shiyue, dressed in a black tight-fitting athletic suit with her long hair tied in a ponytail, looked both beautiful and valiant, her presence unmatched.

After using her divine sense to locate Sun Zhe’s aura, she briskly ran into the cave with her long legs, and upon seeing the weak and haggard, bloodless face of Sun Zhe, her heart ached. She rushed over and embraced Sun Zhe into her arms.

"Xiao Zhe, how are you? Let mom have a look."

"Don’t worry, mom, it’s nothing serious."

Sun Zhe rested his chin on Xia Shiyue’s shoulder, feeling a warm and unusually calm comfort in his heart, free from distractions.

Xia Shiyue gently patted his back, "You silly boy, what on earth happened? Why didn’t you let me know earlier?"

She wasn’t clear on what transpired, only that two days ago, Little Dragon Girl sent her a text from Sun Zhe’s phone stating they were in danger, prompting her to use a method to locate Sun Zhe’s phone and hurriedly come over.

Kyoto is far from here, and even by flying, it took her two days.

"Mom, have you heard of the Demon Path?"

In the silent cave, Sun Zhe suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Xia Shiyue was taken aback, "You mean... you encountered people from the Demon Path this time?"

Sun Zhe replied, "Their subdivision."

"..."

In a moment.

After listening to Sun Zhe’s account, Xia Shiyue got up, left the cave, and instructed a group of disciples to search the vicinity. Then she returned to the cave to check Sun Zhe’s injuries.

Sun Zhe had no visible injuries, but Xia Shiyue sensed an eerie Sword Qi within him, and even with her efforts, she could hardly expel this Sword Qi from Sun Zhe’s body.

Moreover, during this process, Sun Zhe would experience excruciating pain, leaving her no choice but to abandon the attempt.

After carefully observing him again, Xia Shiyue said, "It’s less Sword Qi and more like a kind of flame."

"Flame?" Sun Zhe frowned.

Xia Shiyue withdrew her jade-like hand from his chest, recalled carefully, and said, "It should be Desire Flame, stemming from innate charm bones."

At this moment, she couldn’t help but think of someone, her expression gradually becoming heavy.

"Could it really be her?"

"I didn’t expect she had refined her innate charm bones to this extent."

Seeing Xia Shiyue’s heavy expression and murmur, Sun Zhe curiously asked, "Do you know this Squad Leader?"

"Not sure." Xia Shiyue shook her head, gazing at Sun Zhe with a complex expression. She said, "Compared to the Squad Leader’s identity, the most troublesome thing right now is the Sword Qi within you."

"As long as you have any desires of that kind, this Desire Flame Sword Qi will never extinguish, continuously burning until you are exhausted and perish."

"Especially since you possess a Pure Yang Holy Body, with a Yang Qi far exceeding ordinary people. Facing this Desire Flame Sword Qi is like adding fuel to the fire."

Sun Zhe sighed, "It really is troublesome."

Suddenly, Xia Shiyue stared at Sun Zhe intently, "But, speaking of which, it’s quite strange."

"What’s strange?"

Xia Shiyue lifted her thumb to wipe away the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, saying slowly, "Logically, with so much Desire Flame Sword Qi left in you, you should have already... why are you still alive now?"

Sun Zhe, without hiding it, honestly said, "Perhaps because I have an Undying Body."

Hearing this, Xia Shiyue’s beautiful eyes trembled, looking at Sun Zhe like he was a monster, and after a long pause, she said, "An Undying Body like your grandfather’s?"

Sun Zhe grasped the essence of her words, "My grandfather also had an Undying Body?"

"Uh..."

Xia Shiyue touched her neck, realizing she had let something slip.

Sun Zhe looked at her and said, "If my grandfather had an Undying Body, why did he die? I even buried him myself."

Xia Shiyue coughed twice, attempting to gloss over it, "Who knows? Anyway, Xiao Zhe, remember, never, ever reveal your Undying Body easily. From now on, even mom won’t ask how your Undying Body came to be."

Sun Zhe solemnly nodded, "Understood."

Looking at his frail appearance, Xia Shiyue suddenly blushed for some reason, softly said, "Right now, to dissolve the Desire Flame Sword Qi, mom can only..."

Seeing her blushing and speaking softly, Sun Zhe was suddenly frightened, quickly waving his hands, "Mom, what are you thinking? It’s alright, it’s alright, I can handle it myself, you don’t have to help. Once I return to Huayang City, I’ll find a way to deal with this Sword Qi!"

"Snap!"

Unexpectedly, Xia Shiyue slapped him on the head, her pretty face blushing even more, "You little brat, what are you thinking? Who said I was going to... I meant to arrange for a few maids to help suppress it."

"Uh... no need either."

Sun Zhe felt awkward enough to curl his toes, and sheepishly said, "Really, there’s no need, I am a healer myself, I know how to handle it."

The air suddenly fell silent.

The two of them awkwardly looked elsewhere.

Fortunately, urgent footsteps from outside the cave interrupted the awkwardness.

A Qingcheng Palace disciple dressed in a white gown hurriedly walked into the cave and saluted, "Reporting to the Palace Master, we have found evidence, there is no doubt it’s a Demon Path subdivision!"

Hearing this, Xia Shiyue’s face turned slightly somber, and she said to the disciple, "Take care of the Young Master, I will go and take a look myself."

"Yes, Palace Master."

After a while.

Once Xia Shiyue left, the maid in a white gown stepped forward to support Sun Zhe, her face smiling like a spring breeze, appearing extremely gentle and considerate.

Sun Zhe had a pained expression on his face, "Sister, you don’t need to support me, I can walk on my own."

For some reason, Sun Zhe didn’t have a single distracting thought when facing Xia Shiyue, but now, just being in close contact with this maid, the Desire Flame Sword Qi inside him went wild as if insane.

A tall "pyramid" stood up just like that.

Enduring the pain, as soon as Sun Zhe stepped out of the cave, a few more beautiful female disciples surrounded him with care and concern.

"Are you the young junior brother?"

"Wow, worthy of the Palace Master’s child!"

"You really resemble the Palace Master!"

"Young junior brother, quickly call me Senior Sister."

"..."

Sun Zhe was left speechless by the group of female disciples. After a few random responses, he quickly fled into a tent, immediately sitting cross-legged to attempt suppressing the Desire Flame within using the Dragon Taming Heart Method.

However, just recalling those beautiful little celestials from the Qingcheng Palace a moment ago made him feel unbearably hot, as if his body was about to ignite.

For a moment, he regretted not listening to Xia Shiyue’s suggestion of having a few maids accompany him earlier.

"Enough, enough, stop thinking about it. A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its den, I’ll just rely on myself to suppress it!"

"..."
