The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty

"A little for pleasure, too much is a strain, and be safe?"

Jiang Xinghai muttered Shen Zhengye's words to himself. He then confirmed the small box in his hand was, without a doubt, a pack of Blue Elfs, and he instantly understood.

'As expected, it really takes a man to understand another man!'

"Jiang Xinghai, was my dad just here?"

Just then, Shen Lingxue opened the door a crack and asked doubtfully.

"Oh, your dad brought me a pack of cigarettes."

Jiang Xinghai chuckled and slipped the box of Blue Elfs into his pocket.

He couldn't very well tell Shen Lingxue that her father had made a special trip just to bring him a box of Blue Elfs so they could take proper precautions, could he?

"All you do is drink and smoke. Can't you just find the willpower to quit?" Although Shen Lingxue said this, she still slowly opened the door all the way.

"I'm not just smoking a cigarette. I'm smoking away my loneliness, the complexities of human relationships. You wouldn't understand," Jiang Xinghai said with a slight smile as he walked over.

Shen Lingxue shook her head with a wry smile. She didn't deny Jiang Xinghai's explanation.

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Jiang Xinghai asked, his hand resting on the doorframe.

"Then hurry up and come in."

Shen Lingxue stepped aside to let Jiang Xinghai pass, then poked her head out to check the hallway before quickly locking the door from the inside.

Her father didn't know she had hemorrhoids on her asshole, much less that Jiang Xinghai was about to apply medicine to the affected area.

If her father happened to walk in on the scene of Jiang Xinghai applying medicine to her problem area, wouldn't she just die of embarrassment?

"You're done showering too?"

Jiang Xinghai glanced around Shen Lingxue's bedroom, which was decorated in a very girly style.

"I finished a long time ago. I'm just waiting for you to apply the medicine."

Shen Lingxue sat fidgeting on the bed, unsure of what to do for a moment, her hands twisting the hem of her nightgown.

"Alright, let's get started."

As he spoke, Jiang Xinghai took out a small glass vial about the thickness of a thumb.

"The ointment is black?"

Shen Lingxue was taken aback for a moment. "It'll definitely stain my clothes, right? Should I take some sort of precaution? For example..."

Her gaze fell on a pack of panty liners on the nightstand.

"No need for all that trouble. Although the ointment is black, it will be fully absorbed ten minutes after application. You just need to air it out, au naturel, for ten minutes," Jiang Xinghai explained matter-of-factly.

"Then..." Upon hearing this, Shen Lingxue started to speak but then hesitated, her little face already blushing.

"Ask whatever you want to ask. I'll explain it to you."

Jiang Xinghai noticed Shen Lingxue's shyness and slowly turned his body to the side.

"I wanted to ask... you said the black ointment will be fully absorbed in ten minutes. Will it cause any melanin deposits on my skin?" Shen Lingxue buried her face toward her chest, mustering up a great deal of courage just to ask the question.

"Of course not. The ointment is absorbed as the affected area heals. It won't cause any melanin deposits on your skin, I guarantee it." Jiang Xinghai patted his chest earnestly. "And in the worst-case scenario, if it really does turn black, I have ways to restore it to its original state."

He understood. The woman was worried about her asshole turning black.

"Alright then, let's begin."

Shen Lingxue took a few deep breaths and, steeling herself, made her decision.

"Okay. Do you remember the position you were in last time, when I diagnosed your condition?" Jiang Xinghai asked.

"I have to get on my hands and knees on the bed again?" Shen Lingxue, of course, remembered it vividly.

That position was just too suggestive. Last time, she had been so embarrassed she wished she could've just crawled into a hole and disappeared.

"I can only apply the medicine if you're in that position. Otherwise, I won't be able to find the right spot, which will delay your recovery," Jiang Xinghai analyzed logically.

"Fine, but be quick about it!"

Shen Lingxue was rather speechless. She closed her eyes and knelt down on the bed.

At that moment, Jiang Xinghai also uncorked the ointment vial.

An incredibly foul stench wafted out from the glass vial, instantly filling Shen Lingxue's bedroom.

"Are you sure this is an ointment for hemorrhoids?"

Shen Lingxue was just about to take off her nightgown when she was nearly knocked over by the overpowering stench. Covering her nose, she whipped her head around and gave Jiang Xinghai an indescribable look.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. This is a secret passed down from my sect—Fragrant Skin Jade Bone Ointment."

Jiang Xinghai stepped forward, holding up the ointment, but Shen Lingxue waved her hands repeatedly to stop him.

"Don't come any closer to me." Shen Lingxue's eyes were frantic.

'If such a foul smell lingered on my body for a long time...'

"Lingxue, don't worry. Although the Fragrant Skin Jade Bone Ointment smells awful, after it's applied and absorbed, it will leave a long-lasting fragrance on the affected area. I promise I'm not lying to you." Jiang Xinghai took a step back and shook the vial of Fragrant Skin Jade Bone Ointment again, his expression very serious.

"It'll leave a fragrance?"

Shen Lingxue's beautiful eyes widened, her red lips parting slightly in astonishment.

She had heard of such intimate skincare products before, but she had never used one.

The next moment, she covered her nose again, stunned into silence.

'To be honest, I'm not expecting my asshole to be left with some lovely fragrance. I'll be happy as long as this awful stench doesn't linger!'
