Playboy: Medical and Martial Master-Chapter 286: Entering Celestial Prison Mountain!

In the cozy and exquisite bedroom.

Sun Zhe walked to the bedside and bent over, about to lift Bai Ran out of bed. But Bai Ran beat him to it, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him into an embrace.

In an instant, a rich, milky scent filled his nose, and Sun Zhe felt like he was about to suffocate.

"Ah Zhe."

Sun Zhe nuzzled a few times against Bai Ran's chest, then lifted his head to look at her. "What's up?"

Bai Ran leaned in and gave a playful nip to his lip, whispering, "Will you… finger me for a bit?"

Sun Zhe looked surprised. "Sister-in-law… you're already swollen like this. You still want more?"

"Don't you worry about that."

A look of helplessness crossed Sun Zhe's face. "So this is what they mean by acquiring a taste for something, huh?"

After a few moments of secret intimacy with Bai Ran, Sun Zhe withdrew his hand and left the bedroom, heading to the living room to wait for their meal.

After freshening up and getting dressed, Bai Ran also came into the living room.

Sun Zhe glanced up at her, his gaze trembling in astonishment. The Bai Ran who appeared before him now was, in a word, cool.

She wore a women's shell jacket with brown cargo pants and matching brown hiking boots. Her long hair was tied in a high ponytail, giving her a capable and chic look, just like a female secret agent from a movie.

"Sister-in-law, this outfit…"

Bai Ran walked over to him, puffing out her chest and whispering, "What, were you expecting me to wear stockings and high heels for you in the mountains?"

Sun Zhe waved his hand hurriedly and laughed. "That's not what I meant. I just feel like you've become a completely different person. Your whole vibe is like a female agent from a movie."

Hearing this, Bai Ran winked at him and said meaningfully, "Are you referring to female agents in Japanese movies? I remember those female agents always have miserable endings."

Sun Zhe chuckled dryly. "I suspect you're making a dirty joke, but I have no evidence."

Bai Ran smiled mysteriously, then suddenly lifted the hem of her jacket just enough for him to see.

Sun Zhe stared, surprised to see a glimpse of a stocking band on her smooth, snow-white abdomen, stretched snugly over her adorable navel.

Bai Ran glanced toward the kitchen and whispered, "Don't worry, I wore stockings underneath for you. And the panties… they're that special kind, you know."

Sun Zhe touched his nose, muttering, "What do you mean, 'for me'?" Then he asked, "And what 'special kind' are you talking about?"

Bai Ran replied, "The ones with the butterfly lace pattern, and they're split in the middle."

Her description instantly conjured an image in Sun Zhe's mind.

Both Zhu Yan and Ye Qiao had panties just like that… and he even had a 'collection' of them in his bedside drawer!

Bai Ran raised a delicate hand, tucking a few stray hairs behind her ear. "So, do you like seeing stockings under pants?"

"Uh… yes, I do."

"As long as you like it."

Bai Ran looked Sun Zhe up and down, her tone suddenly turning serious. "Speaking of which, you should change your gear, too. Venturing into Celestial Prison Mountain is no joke. What you're wearing won't cut it; insects will crawl right up your pant legs."

She leaned in closer. "The bugs in this primeval forest are better at crawling into places than that 'bug' of yours, and they bite."

There she goes with the dirty jokes again, Sun Zhe thought, a strange look on his face.

Just then, Huang Qianggang walked out of the kitchen with a plate of stir-fried eggs with Chinese toon. "What are you two whispering about? Time to eat!"

Bai Ran turned her head and gave him a gentle smile. "Honey, do you have any extra mountain gear? Could you find a set for Ah Zhe?"

***

After lunch, the three of them tidied up and headed out, laden with bags of all sizes.

Sun Zhe had changed into hiking gear as well. With hiking boots, cargo pants, and a camouflage jacket, he had the distinct air of a soldier.

After driving for about half an hour, they arrived at Dangya Pass.

This pass was the only safe entrance to Celestial Prison Mountain from Xiong City. Just beyond the entrance was a river where anglers often went to catch pale chubs.

The three unloaded their gear from the car, each shouldering a large pack, and gradually disappeared into the dense forest.

At first, there were still visible paths in the woods, with traces of human activity everywhere, including some plastic trash. This was, after all, the edge of Celestial Prison Mountain, where many locals from Xiong City often came to forage for herbs or catch fish in the streams.

But as they forged deeper, the undergrowth grew denser until the path disappeared completely.

Weaving through the underbrush, Sun Zhe felt an oppressive, primeval atmosphere descend upon him, as if he had stepped into another world, completely cut off from modern civilization.

Huang Qianggang led the way, brandishing a Dog Leg Curved Saber in each hand and tirelessly hacking away to clear a path.

Walking in the middle, Bai Ran occasionally turned to look at Sun Zhe, as if afraid he might get lost or hurt. She constantly shared wilderness survival tips with him.

In the eyes of Huang Qianggang and Bai Ran, Sun Zhe was just a doctor, a delicate city boy who couldn't even truss a chicken. In a place as dangerous as Celestial Prison Mountain, a person like him probably wouldn't last a single day without professional care and protection.

However, what the couple didn't know was that in Sun Zhe's eyes, they were the ones who needed protecting.

***

After hacking their way through the wilderness until evening, Huang Qianggang finally found a relatively open grassy area. He took a tent out of his backpack and set it up as their temporary camp.

While he was setting up the tent, Sun Zhe wasn't idle, either. He was also pitching a tent, but his was for Bai Ran.

Because Bai Ran had once again lifted her jacket, showing him the silk stretched taut across her waist. Seeing her alluring, slender waist wrapped in sheer stockings, it was hard for Sun Zhe not to pitch a tent of his own.

After the tent was up, Huang Qianggang began assigning tasks. "Ranran, you prepare tonight's food. I'll go find some firewood nearby."

"Okay."

"Doctor Sun, you've been trekking through the jungle all afternoon. You must be tired, right?"

Sun Zhe smiled. "I'm alright, not too tired."

He had grown up in a village, often following his grandfather all over the mountains to gather herbs. For him, a place like Celestial Prison Mountain felt like a homecoming. He wasn't tired at all; instead, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, like a bird returning to the wilds of nature.

Huang Qianggang came up to Sun Zhe and patted him on the shoulder. "Eat something, then get some sleep. We'll take turns on watch tonight. You sleep for the first half of the night, and I'll take the second."

"Sure."

Huang Qianggang then took out a map to look it over. "At our current speed, we should be able to catch up with President Su's group the day after tomorrow."

Sun Zhe asked, "Celestial Prison Mountain is so large and the terrain is so complex. Do you even know where Nanzhi is?"

"Don't worry. President Su briefed me before we entered the mountain. I have a rough idea of her route."

"That's good to hear."

Huang Qianggang added, "It's a pity there's no signal in the mountains. This place is damn peculiar, too. The magnetic field is different from the outside world, so GPS and compasses go haywire. You need experience to navigate a place like this."

He's just trying to brag a little, Sun Zhe thought, playing along. "With you here, Brother Huang, none of that is a problem."

"Hehe, that's right! So, you have to put in a good word for me with President Su later."

Sun Zhe chuckled. "I will."

Huang Qianggang's expression turned serious. "Tomorrow, we have to cross Life-breaking Cliff. That area not only has treacherous terrain but is also home to many large carnivorous beasts, so we need to be well-rested and conserve our strength."

"Understood."

"Anyway, don't you worry, Doctor Sun. With Ranran and me around, you'll be perfectly fine. Just treat this as a vacation!"

Sun Zhe laughed. "Then I'll have to make sure to cling to your legs."

"Hahahaha… Alright, alright. You rest for a bit. I'm going to find some firewood."

A short while later, after Huang Qianggang had gone to find firewood nearby, Bai Ran suddenly walked over to Sun Zhe with a bag of beef jerky. She spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal. "When it's your turn for watch duty later tonight, remember to wake me up."

Sun Zhe's expression shifted as he instantly understood her intention. "Come on, sister-in-law, we're out in the wilderness and you still want to…"

Bai Ran playfully kicked him on the calf. "Less nonsense. Hurry up and help me start the fire. Otherwise, when a bear shows up, I'll feed you to it!"

As she spoke, she waved a petite fist at him, her face a mask of playful threats.

Sun Zhe pursed his lips. "Is there no end to you?"

Bai Ran giggled. "Hey, by the way, Ah Zhe, didn't you just say you wanted to cling to our legs? Want to do it now?"

"Let's skip that. Brother Huang will be back soon."

Bai Ran made a face. "But honestly, I regret wearing stockings. I've been rushing around all afternoon, and I'm all sweaty. They probably stink by now."

"Why don't you find a place to take them off, then?"

"No. I want you to help me take them off."
