The large bluestone was uneven; the shorter side gradually disappeared into the water. I jumped onto the taller side and into the water, the stone conveniently blocking the line of sight. I stripped off my clothes, tossed them onto the stone, and told Hua Qingqing, "I'm over here, you stay over there. We won't interfere with or peek at each other."

Hua Qingqing scolded, "As if I'd peek at you. I’ve been dissecting men since I was little; what's there to peek at?"

Washing the sweat and grime of the past two days from my body, I laughed, "So Qingqing started peeking at men early on. I always thought you were so pure and noble."

Thud! A stone was thrown over, "Damn you, Zhao Qian! I dissect men! I don't peek at men."

"It’s essentially the same meaning, isn't it? In the end, don't you still have to see a man's JJ?"

Hua Qingqing dismissed it with a snort, "Hmph, what's so great about it? A soft, limp thing—cut it open, and there’s nothing left."

I argued, "You only see a dead man's JJ. If you saw a living man's JJ, that would be impressive."

Hua Qingqing's voice softened with shyness, "What's so impressive? It's not like I haven't seen a patient's lower regions before. Aren't they all soft and limp?"

I managed a wry smile, "Can you stop bringing up 'soft and limp'? It’s soft because the JJ isn't stimulated. The men you’ve seen are either dead or sick; they wouldn't have the mind to think about anything else. If you let a normal man see you bathing, I guarantee his JJ would be harder than an iron rod."

Thud! Another stone flew over, "Nonsense! Would you let your wife bathe where someone else could see her?"

"You're not my wife!"

"You promised me that when we came to the rainforest, you would treat me like your wife!"

I paused, then suddenly laughed, "That's right, I must treat you like my wife. I usually have to hold my wife when I bathe; otherwise, it’s not comfortable."

Thud, thud, thud! Three stones were thrown in quick succession, "If you dare come over here, I'll smash your skull with these stones!"

I quietly scrubbed myself for a while. Hua Qingqing asked from her side, "Are you angry? You're never serious. You’ve taken enough liberties with me these last two days; can't you just talk to me properly?"

Hua Qingqing said, "I have nothing to hide from you. Tell me what you want to know."

I asked, "Have you truly never seen an aroused man’s JJ?"

I heard the sound of her fetching stones from the water, but then it was followed by a thud as one was immediately tossed back into the stream. Hua Qingqing paused before replying to me, "Although I am a doctor, you know I'm still a girl, so I'm very careful to avoid contact with male patients, especially those in urology. I really haven't seen a truly aroused JJ. I have seen plenty of diagrams and videos, mind you—not porn, but instructional films."

Remembering that Fang Yanmeng had once asked me to get circumcised, I asked Hua Qingqing, "Then you’ve never performed a circumcision on a patient?"

Hua Qingqing answered readily, "No, I haven't done that surgery even once. You know I haven't had time for the major surgeries, so how could I have time for such trivial little matters?"

I sighed, "That’s true, you are a renowned physician after all."

Hua Qingqing suddenly laughed from her side, "Zhao Qian, are you asking because you need a circumcision? For Xiao Rou's happiness, if you were the patient, I'd be willing to sacrifice my reputation to do this surgery."

My foreskin is indeed a bit odd; when flaccid, my little brother looks quite long. To mask my inner panic, I quickly said, "I'm perfectly normal; I don't need a circumcision at all! Save your first one for your husband."

Smack! Another stone was thrown over, "What are you saying?"

I thought for a moment; there was indeed some awkward phrasing. The word 'first time' is more often used when referring to a woman’s precious virginity. Using it here was somewhat inappropriate. Just as I was figuring out how to phrase an explanation to clear up the misunderstanding, I suddenly heard Hua Qingqing scream from the other side of the stones.

At that moment, I didn't care if Hua Qingqing was naked. I leaped onto the large bluestone, "What is it, Qingqing!"

Hua Qingqing stumbled out of the water onto the stone slab, "What was in the water! It scared me to death."

I looked up at the water surface where Hua Qingqing was pointing. Whoa! A huge splash erupted, and a creature resembling a pig suddenly burst from the water and lunged towards us. I grabbed Hua Qingqing, drew back my other fist, and—thwack!—slammed a punch squarely into the pig's head!

My strength is such that even Guo Anju’s supposedly strongest man, Zha Bengang, would have to concede defeat. Facing a mere pig, this single punch instantly crushed its braincase, and it fell onto the bluestone with a thump.

Only then did I have time to examine it closely. Externally, it looked exactly like a pig, except it lacked the coarse hair. I said to Hua Qingqing, "So it was a wild... no, it was a Water Pig!"

"Water Pig? Are you making that up? I've never heard of one... Ah!" Before Hua Qingqing finished speaking, she shrieked again. I glanced at Hua Qingqing in my arms, let out a scream myself, tossed her aside, and jumped into the water. This work is exclusively available in text version on 16k Novel Network.

"I didn't mean to!"

"Zhao Qian! Get back here so I can gouge out your eyeballs!"

I flattened myself behind the bluestone and protested, "You screamed and made me come up there! Besides, you threw yourself into my arms! I only took one look! You don't need to gouge my eyes out, do you?"

Hua Qingqing covered her chest with both hands, hopping and jumping on the stone slab, "I am going to gouge out your eyeballs! Get up here!"

I tried to placate her, "Don't be angry. I didn't even get a clear look. Besides, you should put your clothes on first. What if another monster comes out and you end up naked again?"

Hua Qingqing told me, "Get back in the water and don't look!"

I shook my head and plunged back into the water, staying put obediently. Truthfully, I had already seen her breasts back in the small town. Furthermore, having frequented many women, I had every type of breast at home; why would I sneak a peek at hers?

Thud! A stone splashed into the water. "Get out! I'm scared to stay up here with a monster pig!"

I climbed back onto the bluestone and secretly glanced at Hua Qingqing. Good heavens, she looked better undressed than she did with her clothes on! Because her clothes were completely soaked, they clung tightly to her body, revealing every curve. That faint suggestion of concealment was far more seductive.

I told Hua Qingqing, "You look too hot like that. No wonder that Water Pig tried to get close for some intimacy. Take them off; I’ll find you some clean clothes."

I rummaged through the backpack wrapped in oilcloth; there was indeed a change of clothes inside. Hua Qingqing shyly took them, then glared at the water surface, so I dove back in.

When I emerged again, Hua Qingqing was sitting calmly on the bluestone, smiling at me, "Zhao Qian, I wonder how they are doing? Only Professor Smolder knows the clue to the Blood Flower. If anything happened to him, all our efforts would be in vain."

I looked upstream toward the river valley, "It should be fine, right? Should I go up and check?"

Hua Qingqing looked at the dark blue water surface and pulled me back, "No, I'm scared alone. Let's wait here for them. If there's a real problem, it won't help if we go now. If everything goes smoothly, they should pass by here anyway."

I pulled out solid fuel and a small stove from my backpack, then took a dagger to cut off a leg from the Water Pig. I sliced up a pile of meat, scooped some river water, lit the fuel, and set the pot to simmer.

Hua Qingqing, meanwhile, washed her clothes in the water and spread them out on the bluestone to dry. For a time, the two of us busied ourselves, looking very much like a hard-working young couple.

After tending to everything, we sat on the bluestone watching the meat slices tumble in the boiling water and began to talk. Hua Qingqing leaned against my shoulder, "Actually, having you around feels really nice. I don't worry or fear anything."

I countered, "Why not worry? I see you were quite afraid, terrified I would peek at you or molest you."

Hua Qingqing said, "You judge a gentleman by your own petty standards. I wouldn't think that way. It's just a body; what’s wrong with letting you look a few times? Actually, when I was studying in England, I participated in a naturist club, so I’m not worried about you peeking at all."

Setting aside the fact that Hua Qingqing was clearly lying in her previous statements, I was stunned by her last sentence, "You participated in a foreign naturist club? The kind where you strip naked and openly let people look at you?"

"Yes," Hua Qingqing said matter-of-factly. "At first, I was very reserved. Then, I was the only one left on the whole beach still wearing clothes, which looked strange and awkward. So, I bravely took them off too. After that, everything was very natural. Nobody looked at you with lecherous eyes; everyone got along so harmoniously and friendly. It gave a feeling of complete, liberating comfort for the body."

I wiped my mouth, "Next time you go, can you call me? I’ll pay any membership fee, even donate a beach for your venue."

"That naturist club doesn't accept men."

Plop! I smacked my head against the bluestone, "Miss Hua, stop messing with me, okay? What’s so strange about a bunch of naked women? I thought there would be men and women on the beach. What kind of fake naturist club is that? It's a total sham."

Hua Qingqing smiled, "Even if men were allowed, I doubt you could go. Your mind is too filthy. I’m afraid if you saw young, beautiful, full-chested girls inside, your JJ would get hard, and that would be awkward."

"Do the men in the naturist club not get hard? Or have they lost all interest in women?"

Hua Qingqing punched me lightly, "Their minds aren't as vulgar as yours, thinking filthy things every moment. They get hard when they should, and they absolutely don't come out to make a fool of themselves when they shouldn't."

I chuckled, "They just haven't met a beautiful, sexy goddess like you. If they met you, they’d all get hard."

Hua Qingqing peeked down at my crotch, "Nope, yours is still fine. You're lying. I’m not beautiful or sexy at all."

I shot myself in the foot. Did I really have to make my little brother stand up in front of Hua Qingqing?

"Oh, right. Are you actually long-foreskinned? Let me check," Hua Qingqing suddenly remembered the earlier topic and reached out to untie my pants.

I quickly stopped her, "Didn't I say I'm perfectly normal? You can save that surgery for your husband."

Hua Qingqing became serious, "Zhao Qian! Now, as a doctor, I command you to take off your pants and submit to an examination!"

I objected, "On what grounds? A patient has the right to refuse treatment..."

Hua Qingqing remained stern, "But you don't have the right to refuse, because your wife is my best friend, and I must be responsible to her. What if you yourself can't tell if you have phimosis and infect Xiao Rou with bacteria? Even if you aren't long-foreskinned, I still need to check to see if you have any other diseases. You're so promiscuous usually; who knows if you’ve secretly gone out looking for prostitutes? So, you must undergo my examination today."

Oh my god, what kind of doctor is this? I couldn't imagine these words coming from the knowledgeable, elegant, and refined Hua Qingqing. Could it be that Hua Qingqing hasn't fully recovered from the effects of the Drunken Passion Flower poison?

I stammered to Hua Qingqing, "You want to examine my lower regions? Won't that be bad if it gets back to Xiao Rou? Besides, I'm a healthy man with independent thoughts. What if I suddenly get stimulated and go wild during your examination?"

Hua Qingqing picked up the dagger I used to cut the meat, "With a knife in hand, I'm not afraid of you going wild. I won't mention the liberties you took with me to Xiao Rou, and you shouldn't tell Xiao Rou about me examining your body. We'll call it even."

It seems Hua Qingqing felt I had taken advantage of her, and now she wanted to take it back! However, examining a man’s lower regions with a knife felt somewhat unbelievable.

I gritted my teeth, "If I die, I die. If there is anything abnormal down there, I hope the doctor will provide extra assistance."

Hua Qingqing said smugly, "Of course. You're like my husband right now; if I don't care about you, who will?"

I lay back on the bluestone, spreading my limbs in a star shape, waiting for Hua Qingqing’s examination. Hua Qingqing told me, "Untie your own pants. There’s no reason for the doctor to do it."

Since I was already prepared for the worst, I wasn't going to be coy. I reached down, untied my pants, and pulled my little brother out of my underwear.

Hua Qingqing let out a soft gasp. I secretly glanced at her; she was staring shyly at my JJ, her face bright red. That expression—wanting to look but feeling a little embarrassed—was truly charming.

The cool blade gently nudged my JJ. Hua Qingqing composed herself and said, "You really are dishonest, being long-foreskinned and not admitting it. With our friendship, I won't refuse to help you, will I?"

My heart trembled in fright, "You're not going to use this dagger to help me cut it off, are you?"

Hua Qingqing glared at me, "How could I use this one? If I damaged your JJ, what would I use to compensate Xiao Rou? I’ll perform the surgery when we get back. Don’t worry; even though it’s my first time, I guarantee a successful operation on the first try."

Hua Qingqing's head was near my abdomen. If it had been any other girl, I would have pulled her head down then and there, thrusting my JJ forward to have her service me. But this was Hua Qingqing. No matter how lewd I was, I couldn't do that. I’d better get back into the water and cool off.
