Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 644 - 647 Stop Touching

At this point, Swallow Li patted Liu Ergou on the shoulder. "If they're not after you," he said, "who else could they be after? Me?"

After a moment of thought, Liu Ergou had to admit his master had a point. He was also quite surprised. Swallow Li had just said that no one in the entire Ancient Martial Sects dared to spy on him. My master is pretty incredible, isn't he? Liu Ergou thought. Taking him on was definitely the right choice.

Seeing Liu Ergou's silence, Swallow Li added, "Alright, kid, don't overthink it. Since someone is here watching you, we'll just have to drag them out later. This person has excellent lightness skills, so you won't be able to catch them. Let's go back."

With that, Swallow Li pulled Liu Ergou back into the room.

「In a large tree not far away.」

A figure dressed in black garb was hiding among the branches. Watching Liu Ergou and Swallow Li return to their room, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Damn," he muttered softly. "If I'd known this would happen, I never would have taken this job! Fierce Swallow's disciple is seriously skilled. I've already mastered Treading Snow in Search of Plums, yet his disciple still sensed me. I can't even begin to imagine how powerful Fierce Swallow himself must have been!"

After speaking, the man in black curled up tighter against the tree trunk, as if trying to draw courage from it.

「Back in the room.」

Swallow Li said, "Kid, don't go back tonight. Why don't you just stay here?"

Liu Ergou didn't quite understand. "Huh? Why, Master? Why should I stay here tonight? I want to go back to my place..."

Before he could finish, Swallow Li landed a swift kick on his rear. "Shut your mouth!" he scolded. "Have you already forgotten what just happened? I swear, your brain is only filled with thoughts about women! You're being watched right now! We need to draw out this spy and see who you've pissed off, otherwise you'll end up dead without even knowing why!"

At this, Liu Ergou meekly muttered an, "Oh."

But Ning Hua suddenly spoke up. "Master, when you mentioned who Liu Ergou might have offended, I remembered something. That fellow, Lang Yu of the Thousand Shadow Hand, came looking for Liu Ergou today. He said he wanted to befriend him, but I stopped him. Do you think the person spying on Liu Ergou tonight could be Lang Yu, or someone he sent?"

Hearing Lang Yu's name, Swallow Li raised his eyebrows. "Lang Yu? What's that little bastard doing here? If I recall correctly, neither of you has ever had anything to do with him. I'm the only one."

With a puzzled look, Ning Hua replied, "I don't know either, Master, but he did come looking today."

After some thought, Swallow Li shook his head. "Ah, forget it. Why think so much? Thinking isn't my forte! In any case, as long as I'm here, I doubt that little bastard Lang Yu will dare to show his face. If he does, I'll kick him so full of holes he'll look like a sieve!"

With that, Swallow Li plopped down on the bed. "Time for sleep!"

Soon, the lights in the room were turned off. The room fell silent.

Well, not completely silent. This was because Liu Ergou was staying over and had to share a bed with Swallow Li. The bed, however, was a bit small, leaving them cramped for space. Inevitably, Liu Ergou and Swallow Li began bickering over their territory.

"Kid, move over! I'm about to fall on the floor!"

"Master, how can you lie with a straight face? I'm clearly the one who's about to fall off."

"Bah! Who's lying with a straight face? Have you no respect for your teacher? Get over there, now!"

"No way! You're the one who needs to move, Master!"

Lying on the other bed, Ning Hua listened to their bickering, his expression darkening. I've really had it with these two. Yet, at the same time, he had a strange feeling. It's almost like... Master and Liu Ergou really get along well. He wasn't sure why he thought that; it was just a gut feeling.

Then, in the next second, the two who had been arguing abruptly went silent.

The room was suddenly plunged into an eerie quiet.

Ning Hua grew curious. Weren't they just having fun arguing? Why did they stop? Just as he was about to get up and check on them, he caught a whiff of a cloyingly sweet scent. It smells like... flowers? he wondered. But this whole area is surrounded by wild grass. There isn't a single flower nearby. Where could that fragrance be coming from?

Before he could ponder it any further, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

「About two minutes later.」

A figure carefully slipped in through the window. Once inside, it glanced around before deliberately making a small noise. When none of the three occupants reacted, the figure let out a quiet sigh of relief.

"Tsk, can you believe this? I get a last-minute call to search some guy," he muttered to himself. "I already told him Fierce Swallow was here, but he wouldn't believe me! So frustrating!"

Indeed, this was the same person in black garb who had been hiding in the tree earlier. After grumbling, he moved swiftly to Liu Ergou's bedside and began patting him down.

"There's nothing on him. What was I supposed to find?" he grumbled as he searched. "But I have to say, this kid's muscles are pretty well-developed. Ah, what a shame. Someone like me who practices lightness skills is doomed to never have a build like this. Man, I'm so envious."

The words had barely left his mouth when another voice suddenly spoke up. "What's there to be envious about? If you want muscles like these, you can train for them too. Want to learn? I can teach you."

The man in black garb answered reflexively, "No, no! I'd rather not. After all, for someone who practices lightness skills, getting this muscular isn't really…" He stopped mid-sentence. Wait. Someone is talking to me?!

Before the thought could fully form, the voice spoke again. "Alright, buddy, that's enough groping. I'm not into men, so get your hands off me! You hear me?"

At these words, the man in black finally realized the truth. The person in front of him hadn't been knocked out by the incense at all. He was wide awake
