The young master is shameless

Chapter 36

Before she could think further, more and more people were being bitten by snakes.

While treating her wound with a short dagger, Shen Zhili asked Su Chenche to go to a nearby clinic to call someone and buy some realgar to repel snakes. She then felt a lightness in her body and was suddenly embraced around the waist.

Shen Zhili exclaimed in shock and anger: "Su Chenche, what are you doing? Put me down right now!"

Su Chenche: "There are snakes on the ground, it's very dangerous."

Shen Zhili: "I'm fine! If these people aren't dealt with soon, their lives might be in danger in a moment..."

Su Chenche shook his head: "I don't want to put you in danger."

Shen Zhili: "I already said I'm fine. Even if I get bitten, I won't die. It's just a little danger. Is human life more important...?"

Su Chenche interrupted her, saying decisively, "You are important."

Seeing Shen Zhili struggling in his arms, Su Chenche held her body down firmly and added, "To me, no one's life is as important as your safety, especially since you can't save many people..."

Shen Zhili was speechless.

Should she be moved? But...

"Su Chenche, save as many as you can. I've already told you I'll be fine. This is a human life! I'm a doctor, how can you expect me to just watch people die!"

Su Chenche pursed his lips, refusing to let go.

Shen Zhili steeled her resolve, wrapped her arms around Su Chenche's neck, and pressed her lips to his.

Su Chenche blinked, his eyes instantly turning into hearts, and he loosened his grip.

Shen Zhili took the opportunity to break free and continued to treat the wounds of the bitten person.

Su Chenche stood there blankly for a long time before turning to look at Shen Zhili and saying nervously, "Zhili... this is the first time you've ever kissed me first."

"Yeah, but it's still a bit disgusting."

Shen Zhili didn't hesitate to pop the pink bubbles that were floating around Su Chenche.

Chapter 31

No matter how famous she becomes, Shen Zhili is still just a doctor at heart.

Saving lives is an innate instinct that cannot be changed. It took quite a while for the patients to be detoxified one by one.

Shen Zhili returned to the inn, rubbing her shoulders, but couldn't help recalling the three men in black robes she had seen during the day. They always gave her a dangerous feeling, and she hoped she would never encounter them again, and that they would not cause any more trouble for Hua Jiuye...

Someone gave my sore shoulders a couple of quick massages, with just the right amount of pressure.

Shen Zhili said expressionlessly, "Let go."

Su Chenche: "Uh, was the blow too hard or too light? Should I try a different technique?"

Shen Zhili waved her arm to push Su Chenche's hand away: "...Stop arguing, I'm exhausted today, I'm not in the mood to bicker with you."

Su Chenche quickly made the bed for Shen Zhili and smiled at her: "If you're tired, then go to sleep. I'll watch over you, and no bad people will dare to approach you!"

Shen Zhili: "..."

You're clearly the one who looks most like the bad guy here!

Before Shen Zhili could retort, Su Chenche had already obediently sat down to the side, cupped his face in his hands, and stared at Shen Zhili with a warm smile like that of winter: "Zhili was so amazing today..."

It's more than just impressive.

Amidst the panic, only Shen Zhili calmly gripped the knife, drained the poisoned blood, and applied medicine, her movements so practiced that they seemed to require almost no thought.

She moved gracefully among the injured, exuding an innate calming aura that made people feel at ease, as if they didn't need to worry about anything and could simply trust her.

It's understated yet dazzling, impossible to look away from.

Shen Zhili yawned: "What's so amazing about that? Aren't all doctors like that? You haven't seen my master heal; his movements are so fast you'll feel like you're blind..."

She tapped her temples a couple more times and said, "Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't wake me up or disturb me!"

Su Chenche stared at her and nodded like a chick pounding rice.

Su Chenche didn't disturb her at all, and Shen Zhili slept until dark.

She came to her senses, let out a long breath, and felt all the strength she had lost return to her body.

The moonlight outside the window was dim and hazy.

The sunlight shone on Su Chenche, who was sitting upright in the chair, giving his clean and clear face a beautiful silver glow.

He leaned against the table, his eyes closed, his breathing shallow; he was clearly asleep.

Shen Zhili scrutinized Su Chenche's appearance. Even now that she knew him inside and out, she still had to admit that Su Chenche's face looked...very harmless.

It even makes you want to poke the corner of his mouth to see if you can poke out a cute dimple.

I poked him twice, but Su Chenche didn't react.

Withdrawing her hand, Shen Zhili thought, "She's probably fast asleep."

Wait, he's fast asleep!

Shen Zhili took out a bundle she had prepared beforehand from the wardrobe, ready to use her plan to escape from Su Chenche for the nth time.

Her numerous failures had made her extremely skilled at it...

It must be said that her spirit of persevering despite setbacks is truly commendable... but in reality, at this point, Shen Zhili had little hope of success...

It's also very necessary to make your stance clear by escaping twice!

It was nighttime, and the inn was packed with guests. Shen Zhili tiptoed out of the inn, and no one noticed her.

After strolling around the streets, Shen Zhili ate a bowl of sweet fermented rice balls, bought a few sets of clothes, and went to watch a play at the opera troupe before quietly heading towards the post station.

As Shen Zhili walked, she thought to herself that it seemed like she had been out for quite some time.

...But why hasn't Su Chenche appeared yet? Is he still asleep?

Hmm, maybe.

Should she take this opportunity to escape to a distant place?

Before they even reached the inn, Shen Zhili suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

...She knew it! How could Su Chenche not have caught up by now!

After so many failures, even when caught, Shen Zhili felt no frustration at all. Instead, she felt a sense of "As expected, I was caught again," "I knew it would happen," and "Su Chenche's decisiveness is omnipotent."

Honestly... this isn't a good mindset at all.

Shen Zhili resigned herself to her fate and stood still, only to discover...

"Huh?"

Su Chenche suddenly turned around a street corner away from her and quickly turned into another alley without looking back at all.

Shen Zhili: "..."

What's wrong with this sudden feeling of unease?! Su Chenche, where are you going?!

No, she should be happy that she finally has a chance to get rid of Su Chenche!

Shen Zhili clenched his fist and quickly turned around, intending to circle back to the inn.

She had barely run two steps when someone suddenly blocked her way.

Shen Zhili looked up and saw several hooded men in black robes standing in front of her. The man in the lead said in broken Mandarin, "You are Shen Zhili?"

The visitor seemed hostile. Without even answering, Shen Zhili turned and ran in the direction where Su Chenche had disappeared.

However, before she could run even a step, she felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she felt like she no longer belonged to herself.

Before losing consciousness, she vaguely heard the soft voices of several men speaking in the Miao language. In her haste, Shen Zhili could only make out a few key words.

King, effective, snake, kill...

...Why are these words so chilling when put together?

When she regained consciousness, she was standing in a strange room.

Yes, standing there.

Shen Zhili reacted quickly; she hadn't been knocked unconscious, but rather her consciousness had been paralyzed for a period of time by a curse.

This is actually more terrifying than being knocked unconscious.

At that moment, the terrifying person seemed to be sitting right in front of her, and she had to brace herself.

Clearly due to their lack of skill, the teacup made a crisp sound when it was lightly touched, and the other person simply threw the lid on the ground, instantly shattering the porcelain lid into countless small pieces.

His action made Shen Zhili nervous, and her hand unconsciously reached for the hidden silver needles.

The person on the other end slowly turned their face.

He wore a hooded black robe, his black hair cascading down his shoulders like a waterfall, and his beautiful face was as bright as the moon and as lovely as spring flowers. However, his eyes held a deep indifference, making it impossible for anyone to see what he was thinking.

He said, "My name is Gechui, and I am the Gu King of Southern Xinjiang. I'm sorry to have invited you here, but I'm afraid you'll have to come back to Southern Xinjiang with us."

It was still that strange tone, cold and devoid of any emotion.

People like this are the most unsettling.

Because you have no idea what he wants from you.

Shen Zhili smiled and said, "I'm also sorry, I can't go to Southern Xinjiang with you for the time being..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gechui suddenly bent down and picked up the broken pieces of porcelain from the ground.

However, there were too many porcelain shards, and they were too sharp. Before long, Ge Chui's fingers were cut by the shards and blood flowed out. But he seemed completely unaware and continued to pick up the porcelain shards on the ground.

Shen Zhili silently watched as the porcelain shards cut Ge Chui's fingers, drawing blood. She sighed, and couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wrap Ge Chui's hand, saying, "The porcelain shards are too sharp; there's no need to use your hands. Just sweep them off with a broom, otherwise you'll easily hurt your hands."

Gechui turned his head and looked at her with the eyes of someone looking at a lunatic.

Shen Zhili: "..."

Okay, it's all because she's meddling!

Then she realized... she really was meddling in other people's business. A layer of gray substance quickly covered her fingers, and after the gray substance faded, her hands were once again as smooth as before.

What an enviable constitution! I'm so jealous!

The wound on her lip still hasn't healed!

After tidying up the porcelain shards, Gechui asked her, "How is he?" He didn't seem to care what she said.
