Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Looking at Yuan Wenkang on the ground, one of the goons backhanded him with a swift 'Monkey Steals the Peach.' With his 'peach' stolen, Yuan Wenkang let out a miserable scream.

"AHHH!!!"

"You... you! How dare you... grope me!"

"Just you wait, I definitely will..." But Yuan Wenkang's threat was cut off before he could finish.

The goon who had just performed the move scratched his head, a puzzled look on his face. "Huh? It's empty. There's nothing here? Did I grab the wrong spot?"

His words were undeniably a heavy blow to Yuan Wenkang, making the already furious man even more frantic.

"AHHHH! You bastard, you deserve to die!"

"Let me go if you have the guts! Let me go!"

"I'll kill you! I'll make sure your body is never found!"

But no one paid him any mind.

When the others heard what the goon said, they all looked shocked.

"You didn't grab anything? Impossible, right?"

"Yeah, stop messing with us, kid!"

"I don't believe it! Don't try to fool me!"

Seeing their disbelief, the goon quickly explained, "Hey, we've been brothers for years. Why would I lie to you? I'm telling you, there's nothing. It's totally empty. If you don't believe me, try it yourselves!"

The suggestion to "try it yourselves" instantly energized the others. Their gazes on Yuan Wenkang turned sinister.

The previously frenzied Yuan Wenkang couldn't help but shrink back at their malicious looks.

"What are you going to do!" he asked in terror.

Unfortunately, no one answered him. The only response he got was the sight of them rubbing their hands together and their malevolent laughter.

A moment later, terrifying screams began to echo through the hotel corridor, one after another, seemingly without end. It was a sound pitiable enough to make any listener grieve and any hearer weep.

By this time, Liu Ergou had already brought Lu Shuangyue to a hotel room downstairs. He was unaware of Yuan Wenkang's current predicament, but if he knew, he would probably have commented that the man got what he deserved.

Liu Ergou held Lu Shuangyue in his arms, about to place her on the bed. By now, however, she had lost all reason. Her eyes were glazed, her cheeks were flushed, and she couldn't control herself at all. She kept rubbing against him and trying to strip off his clothes.

Seeing her in this state, Liu Ergou frowned deeply.

It took all his might to pin the struggling Lu Shuangyue to the bed, after which he took her pulse. When he felt it, his already furrowed brow tightened even further.

For some reason, the drug Lu Shuangyue had been given was unique. It clung to her like maggots on bone, making it impossible to remove completely. Even if he used the Hundred Turns Nine Sounds Phoenix Needle, some of the drug's effects would remain in her system—enough to permanently damage her mind. This meant there was only one way to neutralize it...

Although that was the case, Liu Ergou had no intention of taking advantage of her vulnerability.

Besides, this is Lu Shuangyue. She helped me when I was in trouble. If I do this now... it just isn't right.

As Liu Ergou was pondering the matter, Lu Shuangyue, her eyes hazy, chose that moment to speak.

"Er Gou..."

Although her voice was soft, he still heard it clearly.

"Hmm? Shuang Yue!" he replied, quickly looking at her.

The moment she saw him looking, Lu Shuangyue reached out and threw her arms around his neck. The embrace left Liu Ergou at a loss, frozen to the spot, not daring to move.

She then whispered into his ear, "Er Gou, take me. I'm willing to give myself to you."

As she spoke, Lu Shuangyue breathed warmly against his ear. Liu Ergou wasn't a eunuch. He had been hesitating, but her warm breath dispelled his last shred of concern.

Since she has agreed, what else is there to say?

With that thought, Liu Ergou no longer hesitated.

「The next morning.」

Lu Shuangyue was curled up in Liu Ergou's arms, sleeping soundly. Liu Ergou, however, suddenly opened his eyes and looked down at her. The sight of her immediately brought his mind back to the previous night.

Last night, Lu Shuangyue was truly wild. She hadn't rested for a single moment the entire night, and even he had barely been able to keep up.

Fortunately, the drug's effects had finally been completely purged from her system. She had calmed down and fallen into a deep sleep. Thinking of this, Liu Ergou shook his head. He said nothing more, but gently moved Lu Shuangyue from his arms and sat cross-legged facing the window.

Morning had arrived, and it was time for his Body Cultivation Technique practice.

Today, however, as Liu Ergou began cultivating, he discovered that the energy in his body was twisting wildly, like an untamed beast. Normally, the technique only allowed him to absorb a minuscule amount of the purple qi at sunrise. This time, however, he had miraculously absorbed five times the usual amount.

This surge pushed Liu Ergou, who was already at the second layer of the Body Cultivation Technique, directly into the late stage of the second layer. He was now just a single step away from the third layer—it was only a matter of time.

After finishing his cultivation, Liu Ergou was stunned by what had happened. He couldn't understand the reason for this sudden progress. After racking his brain to no avail, he decided to put the matter aside.

Whatever the reason, this is a good thing for me. There are no downsides.

He flexed an arm, feeling the power coursing through his body, and nodded in satisfaction. It was no exaggeration to say that he could now kill a cow with a single punch. Moreover, the amount of energy within him had increased substantially, no longer feeling so limited.

To put it into perspective, if I had to save Cai Qiang's father again now, it wouldn't be nearly as exhausting. I'd probably just break a sweat, at most.

Satisfied with this thought, Liu Ergou nodded and slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was met with the sight of a breathtakingly beautiful face staring intently at him. Only a few centimeters separated them. If he wanted, he could lean in and kiss her at any moment.

"Whoa!"

Liu Ergou jumped back, startled.
