Playboy: Medical and Martial Master-Chapter 256: Blazing Fire Profound Ice Palm

Boli Music Academy.

Sun Zhe waited at the school gate for a long time before he saw Lin Shuqing's graceful figure hurrying toward him.

Today, Lin Shuqing was wearing a charcoal-gray suit skirt befitting a teacher. It gave her an air of elegance and nobility, yet it didn't conceal her sensuality. Her long legs, exposed beneath the skirt, were wrapped in sheer, coffee-colored stockings. She wore exquisite high-heeled sandals, and each step showcased the utmost elegance. As she walked, subtle creases would appear in the stockings around her ankles and the backs of her knees, adding a touch of subtle allure.

Her stunning, graceful figure was so captivating that her mere presence seemed like the most breathtaking scenery in the world. Her fair and delicate face, poised yet capable demeanor, clear and bright eyes, and flame-red lips were all the more dazzling as she basked in the sunlight.

Seeing the peerless beauty approaching him, Sun Zhe couldn't help but fall into a daze.

He suddenly recalled the first time he had seen Lin Shuqing, when she was sitting by a window playing the piano. Back then, she had truly seemed like a pure and noble fairy who didn't belong to this world. But now, having been… 'watered,' perhaps, she seemed even more alluring. With a touch of worldly charm, she was far more approachable than before.

As Sun Zhe was lost in thought, a fragrant breeze wafted over.

Lin Shuqing stopped in front of him, stood on her toes, and playfully tapped him on the head. "What's wrong, Divine Doctor Sun? Spacing out at the sight of a beautiful woman?"

Sun Zhe chuckled. "I was just thinking about something."

"What is it?"

Staring at the gorgeous face so close to his, Sun Zhe said, "I was about to ask my strategist how one might pursue a goddess like you."

Lin Shuqing burst out laughing. "You don't have to go to the trouble. What if I just throw myself at you instead?"

"That works for me!"

Lin Shuqing took a tissue from her purse to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then took his hand and led him toward the security booth.

"I just finished class. Have you been waiting long?"

"Not too long. I only got here a little while ago."

"Really?"

"Alright, honestly, I've been waiting for almost an hour."

"You silly goose," she teased. "Why didn't you find somewhere shady to wait?"

Sun Zhe had no response.

The elderly security guard watched, stunned, as Lin Shuqing walked toward him, suddenly feeling as if he were in a dream.

He had been a security guard here for two and a half years, and today was the first time he had ever been this close to the goddess! He could even smell her perfume! At that moment, he found himself thinking that if his old hag at home were half as gentle and beautiful as Teacher Lin, or possessed even a tenth of her grace, he would make sure she couldn't keep her legs closed from morning to night!

"T-Teacher Lin?"

Lin Shuqing offered a captivating smile and raised a delicate hand to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear. Her casual gesture exuded an endless charm that made the security guard's eyes go wide.

"Hello, I'm here to sign in a visitor."

Hearing Lin Shuqing's melodious voice, the security guard shivered and scrambled to get the registration form. "Oh, yes, yes! Sign in right here!"

He couldn't believe it. The foremost of the four campus beauties was actually speaking to him. Her voice was simply divine! If a voice like that whimpered in bed, it would probably be enough to make a man shake the bed apart!

A short while later, after completing the registration, Lin Shuqing led Sun Zhe through the school gates.

It was now the lunch rush, and teachers and students were milling about the campus grounds. Lin Shuqing paid no mind to their shocked and gossipy stares, familiarly looping her arm through Sun Zhe's and resting her head on his shoulder. Laughing and chatting, the two strolled toward the shade of the trees, occasionally teasing each other playfully. Anyone who saw them would have assumed they were a couple in the throes of love.

Feeling the dagger-like glares from the nearby men, Sun Zhe gave a wry smile. "Teacher Lin, isn't this a little too high-profile? You're putting me in the line of fire."

Lin Shuqing smiled sweetly. "Ever since my voice recovered, even more people have been pursuing me. It's driving me crazy day after day. I've received enough flowers and little gifts to fill a truck."

Sun Zhe was surprised. "Isn't that an exaggeration? How come no one's chasing me?"

Lin Shuqing gave a faint smile. "Then let's take this opportunity to let everyone know that this beautiful flower is already taken."

"I still think they'll try to steal you away," Sun Zhe said.

Lin Shuqing glanced up at him. "If I can be stolen away by another man, it means I was never destined to be yours. If I am destined to be yours, then no one can steal me away, no matter how hard they try."

Hearing this, Sun Zhe suddenly raised his right hand and curled his middle and ring fingers in an extremely lewd and suggestive gesture. He then said meaningfully, "Thankfully, I was quick on the draw. On the night we went to the village for black dog's blood, I had already 'dug you up' and made you mine."

Lin Shuqing's face flushed red. She stamped her delicate foot and said, "If you dare to 'dig' me again, I'll bite your fingers off!"

Sun Zhe laughed heartily and wrapped his arm around her fragrant shoulder. He led her into the shade and found an empty bench for them to sit on.

Lin Shuqing took a half-empty bottle of mineral water from her purse and handed it to him. "Are you thirsty? I have some water."

Sun Zhe took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and noticed the faint trace of lipstick on the rim. He didn't mind and tilted his head back to gulp it down. After so long in the sun, he was indeed very thirsty.

Lin Shuqing studied him intently. "I noticed you seemed listless the moment I saw you, and your complexion is off. Did something go wrong with your cultivation?"

Sun Zhe gave a bitter smile, casually tossed the empty bottle into a trash can more than ten meters away, and said bluntly, "I'm injured, and it might be serious. I'm not sure about the extent of it myself, so I came to ask you."

Lin Shuqing's heart tightened. "What happened? Where are you hurt? Let me see!"

Seeing no one around, Sun Zhe lifted his shirt to show her the red palm print on his abdomen. He then recounted everything that had happened that night in detail. He didn't hide a thing, not even the part about Han Xinyue and Yao Rao taking turns draining him of his essence.

After listening to his account, Lin Shuqing's delicate body trembled, her eyes filled with rage. She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth. "That Yao Rao… Does she really think our Jiewu Palace is a pushover?"

Sun Zhe put his arm around her shoulder. "Shuqing, you don't need to get involved. I'll handle it myself. I came to find you today just to ask about this palm print."

Lin Shuqing took his hand. "I can't be sure just by looking. Let's go to a classroom."

「A short while later.」

Lin Shuqing led Sun Zhe into a music classroom. All the teachers and students had left for lunch, so the large room was empty and desolate.

Lin Shuqing turned to face Sun Zhe. "Take off your shirt."

Sun Zhe's expression turned strange. "Isn't that a little… inappropriate in a classroom?"

Lin Shuqing, however, was completely serious. "No one will come here at this time."

Without another word, Sun Zhe took off his t-shirt.

Gazing at the powerful physique before her, Lin Shuqing's face blushed slightly. She then knelt, leaning in to carefully inspect the red palm mark on his abdomen.

Sun Zhe looked down at the alluring woman kneeling before him, and his mind began to wander. If someone were to walk into the classroom right now and see them from behind, they would surely assume Lin Shuqing was going down on him.

Lin Shuqing suddenly placed her hand on his navel and quietly infused her True Qi into him. But in the next moment, she saw a large tent pitch before her eyes, and her face instantly flushed crimson.

She looked up, glaring at Sun Zhe as she chided softly, "Don't let your imagination run wild."

Sun Zhe wore a pained expression. "It's hard not to when you're kneeling in front of me like this."

Lin Shuqing huffed and ignored him.

A moment later, she slowly stood up.

Seeing that her eyes were red-rimmed and she looked to be on the verge of tears, Sun Zhe's heart trembled. He quickly asked, "Shuqing, what's wrong?"

Lin Shuqing looked up at him, her voice choked with emotion. "This is… this has to be the Blazing Fire Profound Ice Palm."

Sun Zhe's heart sank. "Is it that bad?"

Lin Shuqing suddenly threw herself into his arms, wrapping her hands tightly around his waist. "I'm sorry, Sun Zhe! I'm so useless… As the Palace Master of Jiewu Palace, I couldn't even protect you. I let you suffer such a vicious attack."

Sun Zhe patted her shoulder gently. "No, it's my fault for not being strong enough. Besides, Shuqing, this isn't the time for that. We've run into a problem, so now we have to solve it. This Profound Ice Palm you mentioned, is it really that terrible?"

Lin Shuqing said between sobs, "From what I know… anyone struck by the Blazing Fire Profound Ice Palm will die from the depletion of their qi and blood within a month."

"The Ice and Fire True Qi left inside you will continuously absorb the essence of your flesh and blood. It will continue until the two energies erupt completely inside your body, and then you'll…"

At this, she bowed her head and began to sob quietly. In her eyes, Sun Zhe being struck by the Blazing Fire Profound Ice Palm was no different from an ordinary person being diagnosed with cancer. Every day he lived was a small victory.

Sun Zhe gritted his teeth, forcing himself to remain calm as he asked, "Is there a cure?"

Lin Shuqing replied, "The only method I can think of right now is the Spirit Crane Pill."

Sun Zhe couldn't help but think of Su Nanzhi. "I'll refine the Spirit Crane Pill as soon as possible."

Lin Shuqing wiped her eyes and added, "Until you can refine the Spirit Crane Pill, I can use my Cold Yin True Qi to help you suppress the injury and buy you some more time."

Sun Zhe asked, "How do we do that?"

Saying no more, Lin Shuqing slowly rose onto her tiptoes, bringing her glistening, flame-red lips toward his.
