Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Worried that changing clothes after getting out would expose her, Yang Jianwu dressed underwater. The wet clothes clung tightly to her shapely body, revealing her curves. Her slender waist was so small that it could be encircled with one hand, and her pair of perky breasts, though not large, were beautifully shaped and just large enough for an adult man to hold in one hand...

Ye Ning felt a surge of impulse. His mother had died early, and no one had arranged a maid for him to learn about human affairs. Later, he went to the army and had never been with a woman. He occasionally heard the soldiers tell dirty jokes in the barracks, so he was not completely ignorant.

He dared not look at Yang Jianwu again, annoyed at himself for acting rashly. He used his inner strength to forcefully suppress his impulse before turning around.

When Yang Jianwu stood up, she felt completely dumbfounded. Who was this?! Aside from the familiar, bright eyes, the entire face seemed different. Staring blankly at Yang Jianwu, she stammered, "Your...your face..."

Yang Jianwu touched her face, remembering that her face was wet, and wondered how the water had ruined her makeup. So she simply washed her face with lake water.

After washing her face, the woman's skin was as smooth as cream, her neck as delicate as a cicada's, her teeth as fine as melon seeds, her forehead broad and her eyebrows arched, her smile charming and her eyes bright and beautiful... When she emerged from the water, the water droplets she was carrying sparkled, and the jade ring in her hair was nowhere to be seen. Her long hair reached her waist and fell around her shoulders. She was like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without any adornment.

Yang Jianwu felt like she was becoming transparent in front of Ye Ning, with one secret after another being dug up. Suppressing her anger, she questioned, "Are you satisfied now?!"

Ye Ning quickly and sincerely apologized, "I really didn't mean it..."

Yang Jianwu didn't let Ye Ning continue, "You say I like tearing clothes? May I ask, Young Master Ye, when have I ever torn clothes without saving someone's life?"

"The first time was with Young Master Nan. He was wounded in his shoulder blade, and his blood vessels were connected to his heart. How could we administer acupuncture to protect his heart vessels and stop the bleeding if his upper body wasn't exposed?!"

"The second time was with you, Young Master Ye. You were scratched on the back by a gyrfalcon. How am I supposed to clean away the rotten flesh and treat the wound if you don't take off your clothes? Do you expect me to close my eyes and touch it all over? I don't even want to! I don't have that kind of fetish! I didn't hold it against you for sneaking into the City Lord's mansion at night, and I treated you, but you didn't even say thank you. Instead, you kept trying to find out more about me. What kind of logic is that?"

"And this time, why did you think I tore your sleeve? To take liberties with you? Your mind is full of filthy thoughts." Yang Jianwu became angrier and angrier as she spoke, with a hint of grievance in her voice. Her eyes were red as she tried to hold back her tears. She walked to the discarded sleeve, carefully turned it open, and saw a red worm slowly wriggling inside.

"This is a tracking Gu cultivated by the Southern Yue royal family. I don't know what grudge you have with the Southern Yue royal family, or why they would release a tracking Gu to find you. But once this Gu enters your body, it will go straight into your heart and reside there, sending a signal to the mother Gu. If you want to remove it, you must go to the Southern Yue royal palace to find the mother Gu."

"Leaving aside the issue of removing the Gu, the journey to the Southern Yue royal family will be anything but peaceful. The Gu keeper will follow the signal to find the person afflicted with the Gu, and a constant barrage of attacks is inevitable. The Gu worms will also feed on the heart along the way, so whether we can wait until we find the mother Gu to remove the Gu is unknown."

At this point, tears welled up in Yang Jianwu's eyes and streamed down her face. She sobbed twice and continued, "I kindly tried to tear away the Gu worms for you, but I accidentally used too much force and tore off too many. I tried to explain, but you wouldn't listen! You even ripped my clothes. Who's bullying whom here?!"

Ye Ning was at a loss, unsure how to comfort Yang Jianwu. "I'm sorry, I can take responsibility."

Yang Jianwu continued crying, "Take responsibility? How can I take responsibility? Do you want me to become your concubine?"

Ye Ning wanted to refute, but didn't know what to say. Could he marry her? He probably couldn't even decide his own marriage; if he were to take responsibility... he could probably only be a concubine.

"Hehe... Young Master Ye, my medical skills are no less than those of the Ghost Doctor. The doctor is a profession that commands respect. I usually dress as a man and specialize in treating difficult and complicated diseases. All those I have saved are grateful to me. I can live well anywhere, so why should I confine myself to your inner quarters and guard that small courtyard?"

"You've been to the Cloud City Lord's Mansion, and you know I have some connection with it. The valuable glass you saw is worthless to me. Besides, given my relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, it's impossible for it to enter your inner quarters. So, let's not bring up the matter of responsibility again. Forgetting about today's events is better for both of us."

Yang Jianwu quickly left after speaking. Damn it, it's so cold! I mustn't catch a cold. Mo Yu absolutely can't know what happened today; that jealous man would cause a huge uproar if he found out.

Thinking of Mo Yu... It's been so long, how are you?

Over the years, I've built my own power so I could be your support. If you roam the world freely, I'll accompany you across countless mountains and rivers; if you want the world, I'll fight for it for you... I've always thought I'd be with you in the future, and everything I've done is for you, but I've never discussed these issues with you directly... When we meet again, will you be like the young master now, surrounded by concubines...? If that's the case, what should I do...? My heart is too small to bear such things... I can't even bear to imagine it... Thinking of that dashing young man who once vowed to build a city and protect her, Yang Jianwu felt much better... Now the city is built, and I'm waiting for you.

Mo Yu, where are you? I miss you so much... Do you know I was almost bullied today... For so many years, I've been protecting others, but I also want to be cared for...

Judging by the time, Mo Yu will be arriving soon. Let's go back today... Longing is like the wind, I don't know when it started, and I don't know when it will end. It is formless, colorless, and omnipotent, yet it can easily penetrate the barriers of thousands of mountains and rivers.

A small town north of Anshun

"Master, we should arrive in Anshun in about two days."

"Yes, send a message to Sixth Brother that we will meet at the North Gate of Anshun at Chenshi (7-9 AM) in two days, and then we will go to visit General Yang together."

"Yes."

The guards withdrew, leaving Mo Yu alone at the window, lost in thought... Wu'er, I'm here. It's so far from the capital to Anshun. How could you bear to leave me for so long... So long that I can't even remember if it was a year, a month, a day, or two days ago when I last held you in my arms... There are so many things I want to say, but no one to confide in.

Ye Ning didn't know how she got back. She didn't eat dinner with everyone and stayed in her room alone. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Yang Jianwu's wet body and the two soft, white mounds exposed when her clothes were shattered... The restlessness she had just suppressed rose up again.

"Hongfeng, prepare water for a bath, all of it must be cold water."

"Ah! Yes." Hongfeng didn't understand why his master wanted to take a cold shower, but he obediently did as he was told.
