Playboy: Medical and Martial Master-Chapter 321 - 320: What Is a Guardian Spirit Immortal?

Seeing Yao Xiong so resolute and certain, Sun Zhe was momentarily at a loss. He even began to suspect that he might really be a "Guardian Spirit Immortal."

"Back off! All of you get the hell back!"

At this moment, Yao Xiong seemed like a completely different person. After waving his hand and dismissing the Corpse Wolves and giant pythons, he approached Sun Zhe with a beaming smile, as if he were looking at a revered ancestor.

"Guardian Spirit Immortal, you've come from afar! Forgive me for not welcoming you sooner. I'll take you to the village at once and have the Priest come to see you!"

Hearing this, Sun Zhe's expression turned slightly odd. This guy is a bit too enthusiastic, immediately arranging a "technician" for me.

However, avoiding a fight with these Jiao Beasts was a good thing for Sun Zhe.

"By the way, Brother Yao…"

Yao Xiong laughed heartily. "Just call me Ah Xiong!"

"Um... Ah Xiong, I wanted to ask you about something."

"My lord, please speak! I promise to tell you everything I know and hold nothing back!"

Afterward, Sun Zhe explained to Yao Xiong that he was looking for someone and gave a rough description of Su Nanzhi's appearance.

After listening, Yao Xiong thought for a moment and said, "Come to think of it, I believe I heard that a few outsiders arrived in the village not long ago." He added, "But I didn't pay much attention to it. Ever since the ancestral tomb was robbed and the Dragon Treasure was stolen, I've been guarding this place and haven't returned to the village."

Sun Zhe was secretly delighted and quickly asked, "Can you take me to the village now to see those guests you mentioned?"

"Of course! I was just about to take you there!" Yao Xiong beamed. "The presence of the Guardian Spirit Immortal is a great honor for our Dragon Taming Village!"

Sun Zhe thanked him, then glanced at the Chen siblings before asking Yao Xiong, "By the way, who robbed your ancestral tomb?"

"Who knows?" Yao Xiong gritted his teeth. "Throughout history, outsiders have always coveted our Dragon Taming Race's ancestral tomb. It's just that for the last one or two hundred years, no outsiders have intruded, so we descendants let down our guard. But we never expected the ancestral tomb to be robbed just a few months ago, and the Dragon Treasure we've guarded for generations was lost too!"

"Ugh!" he sighed, full of grief and indignation, then said hatefully, "If I ever get my hands on those damn bastards, I'll skin them alive and feed them to my wolves!"

Hearing Yao Xiong's words, the Chen siblings were too frightened to make a sound, standing behind Sun Zhe like obedient little children.

At this moment, Sun Zhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had intentionally asked the question to see if Yao Xiong recognized the Chen siblings. It now seemed that Yao Xiong had no idea they were the so-called "grave robbers."

"Guardian Spirit Immortal, it's about to get dark. We should head back to the village quickly."

"Alright."

Yao Xiong then whistled toward the sky a few times. Soon, two Winged Dragon Birds descended from above, landing heavily in front of them.

Yao Xiong pointed to one of the Winged Dragon Birds and smiled. "Guardian Spirit Immortal, and you two esteemed guests, please. I must go on ahead to the village to inform the Priest and have him come to greet you."

"Alright, thank you for the trouble."

"Don't be a stranger!"

After watching Yao Xiong ride away on one Winged Dragon Bird, Sun Zhe climbed onto the back of the other with the Chen siblings. This Winged Dragon Bird was significantly larger than the one they had encountered before, feeling quite spacious even with three adults on its back.

Chen Ruolong sat at the front with Sun Zhe behind him. Chen Ruoyi was at the very back, holding tightly onto Sun Zhe's waist. She occasionally felt his abs, shamelessly taking advantage of the situation.

"AWOOOO!"

As the Winged Dragon Bird soared into the sky, Chen Ruolong suddenly spread his arms wide, letting out a satisfied wolf howl into the rushing gale. He only settled down when the Winged Dragon Bird carrying him turned its head to shoot him a disdainful look.

"By the way, Boss, do you think there's a club in the village? I heard that Yao Xiong fella say he was going back to the village to get you a technician."

Sun Zhe shook his head. "I have no idea. Maybe it's their way of showing hospitality. Every guest from the outside gets a technician to receive them."

"Pfft…"

Chen Ruoyi suddenly burst out laughing.

Sun Zhe asked curiously, "What's so funny?"

Chen Ruoyi tried her best to stifle her laughter, looking at the two men before her as if they were complete fools. "I'm speechless, you two. A regular 'Sleeping Dragon' and 'Fledgling Phoenix.'"

Chen Ruolong's face immediately darkened. "Hey, Miss Chen, I can tolerate you calling me that, but why are you insulting my boss, too?"

Chen Ruoyi looked at them with utter disdain. "You two idiots, what nonsense are you spouting with such serious faces? Yao Xiong said 'Priest,' not 'technician'! In an isolated ancient tribe like this, the Priest is the one with the most power. As for a club and technicians… what pipe dream are you two having? Do you really think a tribe like this would open a club in their village?"

Faced with Chen Ruoyi's tirade, Sun Zhe was utterly lost for words.

Chen Ruolong, ever the quick thinker, decisively changed the subject. "By the way, Boss, why did he keep calling you 'Guardian Spirit Immortal'?"

Sun Zhe looked completely bewildered. "I'd like to know the answer to that myself."

Chen Ruolong looked at him suspiciously. "Be honest, Boss. Are you some kind of hidden master? Do you have an identity we don't know about?"

Sun Zhe looked innocent. "What hidden master? I really don't know what 'Guardian Spirit Immortal' means. When he called me that and acted so respectfully, I just had to go along with it. If I hadn't, we'd probably still be fighting those Corpse Wolves."

Chen Ruolong nodded. "That makes sense."

At this point, Chen Ruoyi spoke up. "I think I've heard my master mention the Guardian Spirit Immortals."

Chen Ruolong asked, "Why didn't Master tell me?"

"Because you're stupid."

"Oh."

Chen Ruoyi said to Sun Zhe, "Did you know that there are still many isolated Spirit Realms on Earth, places that ordinary people can hardly reach? The people responsible for guarding these Spirit Realms are called 'Guardian Spirit Immortals.' My master told me that they aren't just the protectors of these realms, but also the guardians of our world. They wander alone on the edge of hell, silently protecting all living beings."

Chen Ruolong sighed in admiration. "Hearing you say it like that, the Guardian Spirit Immortals sound really cool. That's exactly what I imagine a great hero to be!"

Chen Ruoyi corrected him, "The word you're looking for is 'great.'"

Sun Zhe was completely baffled. "That's all well and good, but why did he insist that I'm a Guardian Spirit Immortal?"

Chen Ruoyi pondered for a moment. "Perhaps it's because your wings and your surname hold some kind of absolute symbolic meaning."

"Exactly!" Chen Ruolong nodded. "Maybe your awesome wings are standard issue for a Guardian Spirit Immortal, Boss! Or maybe your elders are some really formidable figures! Think about it, if your ancestors weren't amazing, how could they have produced a descendant as amazing as you?"

Hearing this, Sun Zhe couldn't help but think of his grandfather.

At this time, Chen Ruoyi's hands, which were wrapped around Sun Zhe's waist, slid downward. She deliberately gave 'Little Sun Zhe' a squeeze and said, "Don't overthink it. When we get to the village, you can just ask the Priest and you'll know."

The squeeze made Sun Zhe's Yang Qi stir. He leaned back, deliberately pressing his back against her soft chest. "Alright, I'll ask him when we get there."

Chen Ruolong, however, had another idea. "I think you shouldn't ask, Boss. What if you're not a Guardian Spirit Immortal after all? If our cover is blown, won't the three of us be in huge trouble?"

Sun Zhe nodded in agreement. "That's a valid point."

He reached a hand back and gave Chen Ruoyi's pert bottom a few squeezes. "Since they think I am, I'll just play along."
