Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 617 - 620 Too Hot

The moment she heard there might be a turn of events, Ning Hua's eyes filled with hope.

However, Liu Ergou's next words plunged her back into despair.

"Don't worry, this poison isn't lethal. But, well, it's definitely not pleasant. Anyway, it's going to be rough for you!"

Saying this, Liu Ergou shook his head, a look of pity on his face.

At this, Ning Hua could no longer hold back. She slammed the lunchbox to the side, pointed a finger at Liu Ergou, and roared.

"Liu Ergou, what in the world are you trying to do?!" she shouted. "Why would you poison me? Don't tell me you're..."

Before Ning Hua could finish, Liu Ergou drawled, "Senior Sister, you're getting angry a little too soon. It's not too late to get angry after I tell you what kind of poison it is."

Before Ning Hua could respond, Liu Ergou suddenly leaned close and whispered in her ear.

After he finished, Ning Hua's expression turned incredibly grim. Her gaze, fixed on Liu Ergou, was filled with contempt. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Liu Ergou, I never thought you were such a despicable person! To think you'd dare use that kind of drug on me!"

"Just you wait! It's just my virtue, isn't it? At worst, I'll get rid of you afterward. I already have an excuse ready if Master asks! I'm not afraid!"

With that, Ning Hua lay down on the ground, closed her eyes, and assumed a posture as if ready to be taken.

The sight was quite tempting to Liu Ergou.

However, Liu Ergou didn't act on it. He simply said lightly, "Get up, Senior Sister. I was just playing a small joke on you. Why would I poison you? I'm still waiting for you to give me special training. If you're out of commission, who's going to train me?"

After speaking, Liu Ergou flashed a cheeky grin, then sat down beside Ning Hua and began to doze off.

At first, Ning Hua didn't believe him. But after lying on the ground for nearly ten minutes and realizing nothing was happening to her, she finally accepted that Er Gou was just messing with her.

Realizing Liu Ergou had been toying with her, Ning Hua exploded with rage and lunged to deal with him. However, in the next second, a casual remark from Liu Ergou made her freeze.

"Senior Sister, if I were you, I wouldn't do anything rash."

"Don't forget, I'm a doctor. If I really had poisoned you, do you think you could have resisted it?"

"It'd be one thing if I were a quack, but I happen to be quite skilled. So, for your own future safety, I'd advise you not to make a move against me."

Liu Ergou's words made Ning Hua so furious she clenched her jaw, nearly grinding her teeth to dust. She never imagined Liu Ergou could be so shameless as to threaten her with something like this.

It was utterly shameless! I should have kicked him harder back then, killed him on the spot so he never even had a chance to take a Great Restoration Pill!

But it was too late for regrets now.

Ning Hua could only pick up the now-lukewarm lunchbox and begin to eat, gritting her teeth with every bite as if she were chewing on Liu Ergou himself.

From the side, Liu Ergou, who had been dozing, cracked open an eye to peek at her and couldn't help but chuckle. Even though her punches hurt, she's actually quite captivating when she's angry.

Soon, Ning Hua had polished off everything in the lunchbox.

Then, she kicked Liu Ergou's leg. "Stop lazing around! Get up and spar with me!" she urged. "It's been a week, and your progress is far too slow! You can only last a few dozen rounds against me, and I'm an entire major realm weaker than you, you know! You can't even beat a woman. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

Liu Ergou, however, just waved his hand dismissively.

"Senior Sister, I've been on edge for a week straight. I really can't take it today. Besides, haven't you noticed how unusually hot it is?"

Ning Hua hadn't thought anything of the weather until Liu Ergou mentioned it. Now she suddenly realized it was indeed much hotter than usual. Now that she was at the late stage of Dark Energy, she shouldn't be affected by ordinary heat, even if she wasn't completely impervious to the elements like those in the Houtian Realm. Yet today, she had actually broken a sweat, something that hadn't happened in a long while.

Thinking of this, Ning Hua wiped the sweat from her forehead. With a puzzled expression, she said, "You're right, Er Gou. I didn't even notice how hot it was until you said something. Now that you mention it, I can feel a layer of sweat on my forehead."

"I'm not in the mood for special training in this heat. What do you think we should do this afternoon?"

Hearing Ning Hua call off the afternoon's special training, Liu Ergou's face lit up with joy.

All he wanted at that moment was to go home, take a bath, and get intimate with his sister-in-law. But that was something he couldn't say out loud. So, he could only say vaguely, "What else is there to do in this heat? If you ask me, we should just go back and take a bath. After that, we could sit in the shade of a tree and eat some watermelon. What a perfect way to spend the day!"

Ning Hua's eyes lit up when she heard his suggestion.

"You're right, Er Gou! It's the perfect weather for a bath!"

With that, Ning Hua scrambled to her feet and headed straight for the mountains.

The sight left Liu Ergou completely dumbfounded. He couldn't understand. Didn't she just say she wanted to take a bath? So why was she walking into the mountains? Was she afraid he would peek?

While Liu Ergou was still wrapped up in his confusion, Ning Hua, who was walking ahead, turned back to call out, "What are you spacing out for, Liu Ergou? Hurry up and follow me!"

"Let me tell you, I've wanted to go into the mountains and bathe in the river ever since I came to your village, but I never got the chance! Today's the perfect opportunity, so come on!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

For him, this was a mix of good and bad news. The good news was that Ning Hua had accepted his suggestion. The bad news was that she'd only accepted half of it.

But on second thought, it wasn't a loss for him. He might not be able to get cozy with his sister-in-law, but getting to watch Ning Hua bathe wasn't a bad deal at all. In fact, it would be a real treat for the eyes.

At this thought, Liu Ergou's face lit up with joy. He shouted out his agreement and quickly hurried after her.

Led by Ning Hua, they found a river deep in the mountains in just over ten minutes. The most astonishing part was that it was a river Er Gou had never seen before. This made Liu Ergou marvel.

"Wow, Senior Sister, you're pretty amazing!" Liu Ergou said, his face a mask of surprise. "I've never been to this river before. To think you were able to find it is just unbelievable! I'm starting to suspect you're a local!"
