Playboy: Medical and Martial Master-Chapter 67: Sneaking into the Village to Steal a Dog
As the medicinal power of the Qi Passage Pill continued to disperse, Sun Zhe’s abdomen ached with waves of unbearable bloating. However, he could also clearly feel the Qi Vortex in his Dantian frantically absorbing the medicinal power and simultaneously condensing.
As time ticked by, the Qi Vortex finally shrank to the size of a single pea, transforming into a solid Golden Core.
The Golden Core Stage. I’ve finally made it!
Overjoyed, Sun Zhe leaped off the bed and threw a few punches into the air. The heavy punches cracked through the air like a whip, producing a faint sonic boom! At that moment, he felt as if his strength had reached an entirely new level.
He then tried to release his True Qi through his fingertips and discovered it had turned a faint golden color, no longer the milky white it had been before.
So this is the Golden Core Stage.
"Awesome!"
For a moment, he was as happy as a child who had just received a favorite toy. But gradually, he began to feel a physical discomfort. His abdomen felt like it was on fire, an unbearable, searing heat. In a very short time, he had pitched a large tent, feeling as if his crotch was about to burst.
Damn it... An excess of Yang Qi. What do I do now? Sun Zhe looked down at his predicament, inwardly lamenting his fate. To make matters worse, Zhu Yan wasn’t home.
Do I have to resort to my own hand for relief?
But after having tasted the delights of several top-tier beauties, he now had no interest in taking matters into his own hands. Helpless, he went to the bathroom to cool himself down with cold water.
However, it was completely useless. Even under the spray of cold water, his "little brother" wouldn’t go down.
Sigh, I’m so screwed.
Thinking about his meeting with Lin Shuqing later, he was suddenly filled with regret. If he had known that breaking through to the Golden Core Stage would lead to an excess of Yang Qi, he wouldn’t have so hastily agreed to see her.
After mulling it over, he resorted to pulling on a pair of tight, straight-leg jeans, followed by the white short-sleeved shirt Ye Qiao had bought him at Yishion. The shirt was rather loose and a bit long, which perfectly covered the massive bulge below his waist.
***
Around ten o’clock, Sun Zhe left the house. As soon as he stepped out of his apartment complex, he saw a blue Audi A6 with its hazard lights flashing. It was Lin Shuqing’s car.
After opening the door and getting into the passenger seat, Sun Zhe’s heart suddenly began to race as he looked at Lin Shuqing’s beautiful and captivating profile. Under normal circumstances, when faced with a serene goddess like her, he wouldn’t have a single impure thought, nor would the Yang Qi in his body stir. But at this moment, his excess Yang Qi made him feel like his body was about to explode. It wasn’t just a rare beauty like Lin Shuqing; right now, he would have found even a female monkey attractive!
Sun Zhe secretly glanced at the V-shaped outline between Lin Shuqing’s legs before quickly looking away. Gazing out the window, he asked, "Teacher Lin, do you know of any villages in the suburbs?"
Lin Shuqing was wearing a pair of tight yoga pants that perfectly accentuated the lines of her long, shapely legs, making them incredibly enticing. Like Sun Zhe, she wore a loose, white short-sleeved shirt on top. The difference, however, was that her proud, firm bust stretched the fabric taut, making it look anything but loose.
Lin Shuqing quietly glanced at the large bulge in Sun Zhe’s lap, her heart skipping a beat. She then made a hand gesture to him, which roughly meant they should just browse around first.
Afterwards, Lin Shuqing drove Sun Zhe toward the outskirts of Yang City. However, the so-called villages so close to the metropolis were still quite developed. The two of them searched for a long time, encountering plenty of dogs but not a single purebred black one.
The car cruised slowly down a village road. Suddenly, Lin Shuqing reached out and tapped Sun Zhe’s arm, excitedly pointing out the window. Sun Zhe looked intently and saw a small black dog chasing insects by the roadside.
But then he shook his head. "That black poodle won’t work."
Hearing this, Lin Shuqing pursed her lips, feeling a bit helpless. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as if she had remembered something, and she quickly typed an address into the navigation system.
Staring at the screen, Sun Zhe muttered, "Yangming Village. Are there black dogs in this village?"
Lin Shuqing first nodded, then shook her head.
Confused, Sun Zhe said, "Well, let’s go have a look anyway. We’re already out."
Lin Shuqing took out her phone and typed a message for him to read: "But it’s very far. We’ll probably have to stay there overnight."
Sun Zhe looked at the words, pausing for a moment before replying, "That’s fine. Coming back tomorrow morning is no problem."
"..."
With that settled, Lin Shuqing got on the highway. They drove for nearly an hour on the highway, then for another thirty-odd minutes on a national road. After much twisting and turning, they finally arrived at Yangming Village at nearly one in the morning. Compared to the villages closer to the metropolis, Yangming Village was far more remote; calling it a forgotten corner of the wilderness wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Outside the village, they got out of the car. Using their phone flashlights for illumination, they stepped onto the moonlit, muddy path that led into Yangming Village.
***
The summer night was exceptionally pleasant, with a bright moon hanging high among countless stars. This was the kind of dreamlike, clear starry sky you could never see in a big city. As Sun Zhe walked along the path between the fields, listening to the chorus of frogs, he felt an incredible sense of warmth and familiarity, as if he had returned to the village of his childhood.
While still a good distance away, he heard the barking of dogs.
"Sounds like there are a lot of dogs in this village," he said. "I just wonder if any of them are black."
Lin Shuqing nodded, a smile gracing her face. Sun Zhe turned to look at her and was momentarily stunned. In the bright moonlight, her smile was truly captivating. Lin Shuqing felt a bit embarrassed under his stare, and a faint blush colored her cheeks.
A moment later, the two quietly slipped into the village.
Using his Yin Yang X-ray Vision, Sun Zhe searched for a good while before finally finding a small, fenced-in yard nestled within the woods. The yard was full of chickens; it was clearly a chicken coop. The place stank, and the ground was covered in mud mixed with chicken droppings. Standing outside the fence, Lin Shuqing couldn’t help but wrinkle her elegant eyebrows, fighting the urge to gag. For someone like her, who had grown up in a big city, such an environment was difficult to adapt to. But for Sun Zhe, who had grown up in a village, it was all too familiar.
Sun Zhe’s gaze locked onto the doghouse inside the yard, where a purebred black dog was sleeping. He smiled and said, "Teacher Lin, this is it. It looks like our trip wasn’t in vain."
Lin Shuqing smiled and nodded.
"Alright, just you wait!" Overjoyed and full of energy, Sun Zhe easily hopped over the fence, then whispered, "Teacher Lin, wait here for me. I’ll be right back."
Lin Shuqing looked on with a worried expression and signed ’be careful’ to him.
Sun Zhe then began to make his way across the disgusting, muddy ground, slowly approaching the doghouse while pulling a prepared sausage from his pocket. By this time, the small black dog had woken up and was baring its teeth, glaring at him warily.
"Hey, buddy, don’t get excited. Please, calm down... I just need a little blood from your paw. As a reward, this delicious sausage is all yours."
"You know, you dogs are our best friends, so please just cooperate. It’ll just take a second... really, just a second..."
Sun Zhe continued talking to the dog as he inched closer to the doghouse. From outside the fence, Lin Shuqing watched him muttering to himself and couldn’t help but smile. She suddenly found him quite adorable, like a big, lovable fool.
Soon, Sun Zhe finally managed to pin down the small black dog, holding its snout shut with one hand while using the other to pull out a syringe. He quickly drew half a tube of blood from its paw.
"WHEW!"
After getting the blood, Sun Zhe let out a long breath of relief. He slowly released the dog, stood up, and prepared to make a quiet retreat.
"WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!"
Unexpectedly, the little black dog erupted into a furious tirade of barks. If not for the chain around its neck, it would have already lunged and bitten him.
"Hey, buddy, it’s okay, it’s over! Here, here, this sausage is for you."
Sun Zhe tore open the sausage and tossed it over. The small dog, as if receiving a priceless treasure, immediately dropped to the ground to enjoy it, whining softly.
Sun Zhe secretly sighed in relief. He turned back toward Lin Shuqing and brandished the syringe in his hand.
But just then, the beam of a flashlight cut through the darkness and into the fenced yard. It was followed by the angry roar of a middle-aged man. "Who the hell is this bastard, daring to steal dogs from here! You’ve got a death wish!"
"..."
