Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

After leaving the clinic, Mo Ye and his group went to Huashuiyuefang. They hadn't eaten anything since entering Yunzhi, and had only had some snacks in the afternoon. They were starving.

After finishing her meal with everyone, Yang Jianwu quietly left through the back door. It had been a long time since she had returned to the City Lord's Mansion. The grapes on the trellis should be ripe by now; she wondered if that gyrfalcon would steal some...

The so-called "pearls" hanging on the streets of Yunzhi are actually solar-powered lights. These lights absorb sunlight during the day and shine brightly at night, making the city much brighter than other cities.

Mo Ye had only intended to pay his respects before bedtime, but then he saw Yang Jianwu sneaking away... So, one walked ahead while the other quietly followed behind... Jing Nan had said that to pursue a woman, you at least have to get her attention first, to attract her gaze. Clearly, Xiao Wu'er didn't even notice him, so he figured he should just hang around in front of her more often... But alas...

Yang Jianwu was indeed exhausted after the surgery, but the food at Huashuiyuefang was so delicious that she felt refreshed and full of energy after the meal. She was in a good mood, even humming a little tune. To avoid attracting attention, Yang Jianwu decided to enter through the back gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Upon reaching the long street behind the gate, she noticed it was dark. Looking up at the solar-powered lamp, she realized one was missing!

Ha! Someone actually dared to steal from the Cloud Realm?! Stealing a lamp! What the hell! Why didn't it burn you to death?! The solar panel should have exploded right now, blowing your face to smithereens!

Yang Jianwu channeled her inner strength to fly upwards, but unfortunately, her inner strength was insufficient, and she only flew to two-thirds of the way up the lamppost. Uh... she still had to work hard to climb the remaining third...

Mo Ye had been following Yang Jianwu closely, but because they were near the city lord's mansion, he didn't dare to follow too closely. So when he turned the corner, what he saw was a woman climbing a pillar with both hands and feet... Mo Ye wanted to cover his face, but luckily there was no one around. Her posture of climbing the pillar was really not flattering... Afraid that Yang Jianwu would fall, he slowly walked a little closer to the lamppost.

Yang Jianwu sensed someone approaching, looked around and saw Mo Ye. "Oh my god, Your Highness Prince Ning, why are you following me at night instead of sleeping? You'll scare me to death!" She then exaggeratedly patted her chest.

Mo Ye could only see Yang Jianwu fiddling around up there from below, and he didn't know what she was doing. "I saw you came out alone and was worried that something might happen to you, so I followed you."

Yang Jianwu tidied up the exposed wires around the solar lamps, cursing the thief's entire family in her mind. They took the lamps without even cleaning up afterward! What if they short-circuited in the rain?! Gui Liu's arrangements for the security around the City Lord's Mansion were inadequate; he'd have his pay docked!! These solar lamps were all redeemed with space medical points—so expensive!!!

"What could possibly happen to me? Others may not know, but don't you know? This is my territory."

Mo Ye thought of Yang Jianwu's proud little expression and his heart softened. "Yes, I'll listen to you on your turf."

Yang Jianwu slowly moved down a little, jumping off halfway down. In her previous life, there was no such thing as internal energy, and nobody knew it. She could defeat most of her opponents. In this life, she was defeated by her lack of internal energy. She muttered to herself, "Sigh~ When will my internal energy increase by another level..."

Mo Ye tentatively asked, "How about I help you unblock your meridians?"

Yang Jianwu stared at Mo Ye for a long time before blurting out, "Your Highness wants to take advantage of me?"

Mo Ye was so angry he almost vomited blood. "I've been so sincere, can you please stop ignoring my sincerity!"

Remembering that Yang Jianwu had mentioned that if one wanted to open up the meridians, one should not wear too many clothes and should place one's palm on her body, fearing that Yang Jianwu might misunderstand, he explained, "I didn't mean to take advantage of you. You have many strengths. I just didn't want to see you suffer in terms of internal strength. Close combat is indeed very useful. If you encounter a true master, there will be times when you are not strong enough to defeat him."

"Oh, like you?!" Yang Jianwu felt a surge of annoyance at the thought of being almost seen naked by someone. "Hmph, so what if he has higher internal energy? What's so great about that! In close combat, he was still taken down by me!"

Mo Ye's face flushed. "I didn't mean it that time, can we let it go..."

Yang Jianwu waved her hand. She hadn't worn a bikini in her past life, but she had worn a swimsuit. No matter how little clothing she wore, it couldn't be less than a swimsuit.

"I didn't care, I just asked casually. Anyway, I don't care who helped me open up my internal energy, it's just that I'm wearing less clothing, it's not like I'm naked."

"Ahem..." Mo Ye seemed a little distracted. "Little Wu'er, do you always speak so directly?"

"No, that's not true. You've seen what I'm like in real life anyway. I can be myself in front of you, so why should I pretend? It's exhausting!"

Mo Ye was secretly delighted. Could this mean that their relationship had taken another step closer?

Yang Jianwu recalled what Luo Qi had said before leaving: Mo Ye's surroundings were very clean, and he could be considered as a potential husband... Now, getting along with him didn't seem so difficult. He never put on airs of a prince in front of her, and even referred to himself as "I". If he could marry only her, she could consider it. He was good-looking and had enough martial arts skills. Hmm, his subordinates were a bit weak, but she could complement them, so it wasn't a problem.

She could be all alone, but how could her parents agree... Rather than being forced into a relationship with someone she didn't know and who wasn't even suitable, why not just keep the one in front of her for now? Get to know each other and see how it goes, and if it doesn't work out, we can always find someone else!

Yang Jianwu organized her thoughts and said, "Your Highness Prince Ning, actually... it would be great if you could help me open up my meridians... I reacted quickly last time, otherwise I would have really suffered a great loss... You see, there must be quite a few internal strength masters in our Dongli. What if I offend someone one day... you know... oh dear, the consequences don't look very good."

Mo Ye certainly didn't want such a thing to happen. "Little Wu'er, as long as you're willing, I can help you open up your meridians anytime. Tomorrow I'll write to Master and ask in detail if there's anything else I should pay attention to. Or, after we're done with these few days, we can go to the West Suburbs Villa together. The Ghost Doctor and Master are there. With them by our side, we can prevent any accidents."

Yang Jianwu inwardly applauded, but outwardly she said with some embarrassment, "It would be better if Elder Tie and the Ghost Doctor could protect you, but... in that case, they would all know, wouldn't that tarnish your reputation?"

She felt a little guilty, like a naive white lotus, and that she was somewhat using Mo Ye. But then she thought, "Everyone has to look out for themselves," and besides, she hadn't really made Mo Ye suffer any loss. By the standards of this world, she was the one who suffered a loss... Thinking about it this way, she no longer felt sorry for Mo Ye.

For a moment, Mo Ye had the impulse to confess his feelings, but having learned from his previous failure, he didn't dare to speak up easily. "Little Wu'er, don't worry, your master has always wanted to take you as his disciple. Who dares to object to Elder Tie's disciple?" He silently added in his heart, "I will protect you, I always will."
