Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Chapter 530 - 511: Someone Else Behind It!

"Ah Zhe, what do you want to eat tonight? Mom will take you out to eat."

"Anything’s fine, whatever you want."

"You’re just like your dad when you speak."

"Uh... how about mutton hotpot?"

"Okay."

"..."

Watching Xia Shiyue and Sun Zhe leave, Zhou Yao’s face showed a smile, feeling happy for them.

But thinking about his own broken family, his heart also felt bitter.

It wasn’t until the figures of the mother and son had completely disappeared from sight that he collected his thoughts and looked down at Li Zhenzhu on the ground.

Xia Shiyue’s strike had severely injured Li Zhenzhu, severing her meridians, leaving her completely harmless.

"Old witch, I’ll send you down to repent to the spirits of my Zhou Family!"

Li Zhenzhu moved her frail body on the ground with difficulty, blood gushing from her nose and mouth, barely breathing.

She wasn’t afraid of death, nor did she beg for mercy, only looked at Zhou Yao with eyes of pity and mockery,

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Yao frowned, feeling very uncomfortable under her gaze.

"Hehe... Zhou Yao, you’re truly pathetic."

Li Zhenzhu suddenly laughed, her voice broken, "You think... I’m the mastermind, but actually... there’s someone else."

"Someone even our Qingyao Sect fears."

"You misunderstood Ruoxue too... the night your family was exterminated, she truly didn’t participate."

"Aren’t you the one people in the Jianghu call the little Zhuge?"

"Then why don’t you use that pig brain of yours to think? Your Zhou Family’s defensive array is so profound and mysterious, even your Young Master can’t understand it, right?"

"Ruoxue only visited your home a few times... how could she figure it out?"

"Moreover, if she hadn’t protected you, willing to give up her position as an inner disciple, you wouldn’t have survived this long."

Zhou Yao’s eyes turned red, clenching his fists tightly, he gritted his teeth and said, "You just said there’s another mastermind, who is it?"

Li Zhenzhu sighed softly and her body suddenly convulsed violently, vomiting a mouthful of blood mixed with bits of organs, speaking painfully, "I don’t want to suffer this humiliation, endure this pain, give me a quick death... and I’ll tell you."

"Okay!"

Zhou Yao agreed without hesitation.

Li Zhenzhu looked at him with a half-smile, "The real mastermind, it’s him, it’s your..."

A moment later.

With a "bang," Zhou Yao cleanly and crisply struck the top of Li Zhenzhu’s head, sending her down to meet the spirits of the Zhou family, giving her a swift end.

However.

Even after personally killing his enemy, he felt no joy or satisfaction of avenging his great grievance.

He sat dumbfounded on the ground, tears in his eyes as he looked at the night sky outside the door, like a walking corpse.

"How is it possible?"

"Why... is it you?"

"..."

...

As night falls, Yang City’s snack street becomes lively, drawing people from all over to enjoy Hua Country’s culinary delights, with mixed food aromas wafting through the air, giving this street its name, "Ten Mile Street."

Palace Master Xia, who hadn’t tasted worldly pleasures for a long time, suddenly felt like a little girl in this place, bouncing around and asking Sun Zhe to buy her this and that.

Where did she look like a mother at all?

Someone who didn’t know might think Sun Zhe was out shopping with a schoolgirl.

After wandering with Xia Shiyue for quite a while, Sun Zhe stealthily bought a lot of food and secretly slipped it into the White Jade Ring for the Little Dragon Girl to enjoy, before finding a mutton hotpot restaurant by the roadside.

He had been to this store once with Zhu Yan, but that time he had hidden in a private room eating seafood, so he hadn’t had much mutton.

At the dining table.

Xia Shiyue gazed at Sun Zhe with gentle eyes, but instead of serving him food, she even competed with him to eat, as if afraid he’d eat more than her.

"When you have time to visit Kyoto, mom will take you to have authentic mutton hotpot."

Sun Zhe used his chopsticks to hold onto the piece of mutton she had, "We can talk about it, but can you stop taking my mutton?"

Xia Shiyue smiled slightly, using an irresistible force to snatch the mutton from Sun Zhe’s chopsticks, "Didn’t I say, good things are for mom. Even Kong Rong, at four years old, knew to give away pears."

Sun Zhe was at a loss, "I seriously doubt now, is this mom fake? Or did she come as a bonus with a recharge?"

Xia Shiyue ignored him, smiling and calling, "Ah Zhe."

"What’s up, my Palace Master Xia?"

Xia Shiyue looked at him seriously, "Mom hopes you’re well, don’t get involved in the conflicts of the Martial Artist Realm too soon."

Sun Zhe nodded, "I understand. But now I’m the Witch Master of Jiewu Palace, I’ve officially started down this road, so there’s no turning back."

Xia Shiyue looked at him with heartache, "If only you could always stay by mom’s side."

Sun Zhe pouted, smiling, "With you spoiling me so much, if I’d grown up with you, I’d probably be one of Kyoto’s top playboys by now, right?"

Xia Shiyue showed a faint anger, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying I can’t raise you right?"

"Uh... what do you think?"

Xia Shiyue irritably knocked on his head, "By the way, that Liu Bingyue will definitely come looking for you again since your Pure Yang Holy Body is so enticing, and you also possess Forbidden Techniques."

"If she comes to find you next time, just do as mom says."

Sun Zhe looked puzzled, "What should I do?"

Xia Shiyue’s face turned mysterious, "Mom will teach you a secret technique later that can activate the curse seal in her, so no matter how high her cultivation, she can only be toyed with."

Sun Zhe was amazed, "Is that possible?"

Xia Shiyue said, "When I went to rescue you last time, I took the opportunity to leave something in her body."

Sun Zhe promptly gave a thumbs-up, "Impressive."

"Did you expect anything less? I’m your mom, after all."

"Yes, yes, my mom’s the best in the world!"

"By the way, Ah Zhe, after I go back to Kyoto, take good care of Lingxue, and then the Blazing Flame Group will be yours."

Sun Zhe, "The entire group is handed over to me?"

Xia Shiyue, "To Qingcheng Palace, it’s just a small shop."

Sun Zhe applauded, "Magnificent!"

"..."

Amidst laughter, the mother and son finished their mutton hotpot and prepared to head home to wash up and sleep.

Xia Shiyue directly drove Sun Zhe back to Yang City First-class.

At the villa’s entrance.

After getting out of the car, Sun Zhe asked, "Have you always been staying at Gu Lingxue’s place?"

Xia Shiyue rolled her eyes at him, "What Gu Lingxue? That’s your Auntie Shi, show some respect."

"Oh... Auntie Shi."

Xia Shiyue laughed, "With you living with your girlfriend, and a little sweetheart coming over every now and then, what would I do as a third wheel?"

Sun Zhe scratched his head awkwardly, "Makes sense."

"Alright, you go in quickly, or Xiao Yan will get upset. Even I, as the mother-in-law, won’t be able to calm her down."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

"..."

Watching Xia Shiyue drive away, Sun Zhe’s face was full of happiness.

He felt especially relaxed being with Xia Shiyue, interacting like good friends, with no pressure at all.
