Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Without hesitation, Liu Ergou took Fu Ya's hand, put it to his lips, and began to suck forcefully. With the first mouthful, he furrowed his brow and spat out a large clot of black blood.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou dared not hesitate. He worked quickly, sucking out more than a dozen mouthfuls until the black, venomous blood was finally gone, replaced by fresh, red blood. This meant the poison was completely cleared.

Only then did Liu Ergou flick the silver needle again. This time, as the needle vibrated, the wound—which had just been weeping red blood—began to ooze black blood once more. The dark blood flowed for some time before turning red again.

Only when he saw this did Liu Ergou finally breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed all the poison in Fu Ya's hand had been drawn out. She was no longer in mortal danger. Now, all Liu Ergou could do was wait.

「About an hour later.」

Fu Ya slowly regained consciousness. When she awoke, Liu Ergou handed her his water canteen.

"You're awake. Here, drink some water, Fu Ya."

Fu Ya looked around, startled at first, before subconsciously taking the canteen and drinking a few mouthfuls.

"Er Gou, what happened?"

Without turning around, Liu Ergou replied, "Nothing serious. You were bitten by a giant centipede, but I've already sucked out the poison. You're fine now."

At his words, Fu Ya finally felt the sharp pain in her hand. Lifting her hand, she saw a neatly bandaged wound on the back of it.

"Er Gou, I'm so sorry," Fu Ya said suddenly. "If I hadn't insisted on going up the mountain today, none of this would have happened. It's all my fault... I..."

Liu Ergou cut her off before she could finish. "What are you apologizing for? If anyone should be sorry, it's me. I was the one who brought you up the mountain, and look what happened."

"Alright, let's not dwell on it. Let me help you up. We should head back."

Saying that, Liu Ergou rose to help Fu Ya to her feet. But just as he helped her up, Fu Ya suddenly threw herself into his arms.

Fu Ya pressed herself against his broad chest, her face flushing as she took in his distinctly masculine scent.

"Er Gou, I'm so lucky you were here today. If you hadn't been..." She trailed off. "I can't imagine what would have happened.

"I have to reward you properly for this!"

As she spoke, Fu Ya lifted her head, closed her eyes, and rose onto her tiptoes, leaning slowly toward him.

Seeing this, how could Liu Ergou not understand what she intended? He immediately lowered his head. Just as their lips were about to meet... a figure suddenly burst from the nearby bushes.

The man pointed a finger at Liu Ergou and roared, "Fuck! Liu Ergou! You shameless dogs, daring to commit such depraved acts in broad daylight!"

"Now I've caught you red-handed, HAHAHA!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou looked up. The newcomer was of average height but had an enormous build, looking to be at least 300 pounds.

Liu Ergou recognized this person. He was a village scoundrel named Er Lü. Er Lü had left Fengzhu Village some time ago to find work and had been gone for two or three years without a single word. It was completely unexpected to see him here today.

Before Liu Ergou could respond, Er Lü spoke again. "Still, I have to admit, this is pretty exciting! HEH HEH HEH!"

"When did our village get such a gorgeous woman? How come I never knew!"

With that, Er Lü shot a look at Liu Ergou. "I never knew you had it in you, Liu Ergou. You've got some luck with the ladies. But to be doing this sort of thing in broad daylight... you're truly a disgrace to public decency!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou's brow furrowed. "Er Lü, what are you trying to say!"

"If you've got nothing better to do, then get lost! Stop being an eyesore."

Er Lü simply sneered at this. "Heh, Liu Ergou. You wouldn't want everyone in the village to find out you were messing around with a woman out here, would you?"

"If you don't want word to get out..." As he said this, Er Lü's gaze slid toward Fu Ya with ill intent.

Seeing his look, Fu Ya instinctively took a step back to hide behind Liu Ergou.

Liu Ergou understood Er Lü's meaning at once, and his face darkened. However, he didn't attack immediately. Instead, he said coldly, "Er Lü, I'm giving you one last chance. Get lost right now, and I'll pretend this never happened."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for what comes next."

Instead of leaving, Er Lü just roared with laughter. "HAHAHA! Liu Ergou, you must be itching for a beating, daring to talk to me like that!"

"Have you forgotten how I used to beat you down?

"Looks to me like you're the one asking for it. You're the one who needs to scram, and you'd better do it now!"

With that, Er Lü started walking toward Liu Ergou. Eyeing Fu Ya in Liu Ergou's arms, Er Lü's face twisted into a lecherous grin as he reached out to touch her cheek. "My, my, what soft skin. She's even prettier than those city girls!"

Just as Er Lü's hand was about to touch Fu Ya, a large hand shot out and clamped down on his wrist.

Er Lü turned and saw the hand belonged to Liu Ergou.

"Liu Ergou, you're the one who asked for this! Don't blame me for what I'm about to do!" With that, Er Lü threw his entire body at Liu Ergou, trying to use his immense bulk to crush him underneath.

Indeed, whenever he and Liu Ergou had fought in the past, Er Lü had always used this tactic. More than once, an unprepared Liu Ergou had been pinned by him.

But the Liu Ergou of today was a different man. Having cultivated the Body Strengthening Technique, he was far beyond what Er Lü could handle.

To Er Lü's shock, Liu Ergou caught his massive frame with a single hand, then used his other hand to get a firm grip. Then, with a great heave of both arms, Liu Ergou hoisted Er Lü clean off the ground.

As his feet left the ground, Er Lü was completely dumbfounded.

When did Liu Ergou get so strong? He actually lifted me! I weigh over 300 pounds! What kind of joke is this?!
