The Little Fairy Doctor glanced back at Mu She's ugly face. Her heart gradually calmed, and she quietly followed Gu Fei back to her room.
In the dark of night, Wanyaozhai was deathly silent. No one had yet discovered Boss Yao's death.
The Little Fairy Doctor lay down on her fragrant bed, a faint smile on her lips. She stole a glance at the young man sitting quietly beside her.
His face was comforting, and his occasional smile made him seem approachable.
He was completely different from the Gu Fei who had just coldly and decisively killed Boss Yao and Mu She.
Xiao Yixian felt warmth in her heart, knowing someone was protecting her.
This time, in order to help Xiao Yixian, Gu Fei had killed so many people in Qingshan Town.
And these weren't unknown individuals.
One was Boss Yao, the owner of Wanyaozhai, a man with many connections. The other was Mu She, leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, the strongest mercenary group in Qingshan Town—he was a two-star fighter.
Xiao Yixian, a kind-hearted woman, realized that she could no longer live the peaceful life she had longed for in Qingshan Town.
Without Gu Fei's protection, staying in Qingshan Town would likely prove difficult.
So, when Gu Fei turned to her and asked in a casual tone, "Little Fairy Doctor, what do you plan to do next?" Xiao Yixian thought for a moment before smiling and saying, "I'd like to live in that small valley I discovered earlier, for a while."
Gu Fei didn't ask further. Since Xiao Yixian had made her decision, he didn't see a need to worry.
Then, the Little Fairy Doctor jumped out of bed and stood by the window. She blew a whistle into the night.
Gu Fei heard the sound of wings flapping in the distance, growing louder and closer until it finally slowed and landed outside the window.
A gentle tapping sound followed, and the Little Fairy Doctor opened the window. A blue eagle landed on the ground outside, its eyes gleaming with intelligence.
Swiftly, the Little Fairy Doctor climbed out of the window and approached the large blue eagle.
The bird lowered its head to her, docile and affectionate.
She stroked its smooth, soft feathers, eliciting a soft cry.
"This is my pet, Blue Eagle—a first-level flying magical beast."
Noticing Gu Fei's gaze, she explained.
Blue Eagles were common in the Warcraft Mountains, but taming one surely required great effort on Xiao Yixian's part.
She hesitated for a moment, then turned to Gu Fei and asked shyly, "Brother Gu Fei... Could you... could you come with me?"
It wasn't that she feared danger, but there was a strange reluctance in her heart, prompting her to ask.
[Xiao Yixian's expectations rise, emotion value increases by 100.]
Gu Fei pretended to consider for a long time before finally nodding slightly, under the Little Fairy Doctor's hopeful gaze.
[Xiao Yixian becomes happy, emotion value increases by 100.]
She smiled faintly and climbed onto the broad back of the Blue Eagle.
Though Gu Fei had the ability to fly himself, he followed her and seated himself behind her on the eagle.
Once they were settled, the Blue Eagle flapped its wings and slowly ascended into the sky.
The experience of flight was thrilling. Despite her usual calm demeanor, Xiao Yixian was still a girl at heart, leaning excitedly over to look down at the distant ground.
"Brother Gu Fei, that's my favorite store!"
"I know, I know. Be careful."
Though the eagle's back was spacious, Gu Fei feared she might fall with too much movement, so he sat closer to her.
As Xiao Yixian turned her head, her lips accidentally brushed against Gu Fei's cheek.
She froze, her whole body tensing. Realizing what she had just done, her face flushed red.
The brief contact also caused Gu Fei to feel something strange, though indescribable, and the two fell into silence.
[Xiao Yixian becomes shy, emotion value increases by 100.]
After this, Xiao Yixian became much more composed.
Not long after, the Blue Eagle flew over the edge of the Warcraft Mountains, arriving at a basin.
This basin was where Wanyaozhai's herb-picking team had once hired mercenaries to gather medicinal herbs.
However, the Blue Eagle headed deeper into the basin, towards an area perpetually shrouded in mist. From a distance, Gu Fei could only make out vague outlines.
As the Blue Eagle descended into the valley, the air grew rich with energy, surprising Gu Fei.
Although the energy wasn't as dense as in the ancient world, it was still far more potent than the energy outside.
[Xiao Yixian becomes proud, emotion value increases by 100.]
"Well, Brother Gu Fei, what do you think? This valley is completely isolated from the outside world, and the fog keeps it hidden. I stumbled upon it by accident; otherwise, I would never have discovered this place."
Seeing Gu Fei's surprised expression, Xiao Yixian smiled smugly.
"It's impressive," Gu Fei nodded.
She then led him to a small thatched hut.
It was a temporary shelter she had used before. Gu Fei didn't mind and decided to stay there.
In this peaceful and energy-filled place, Gu Fei felt his mind relax as he and Xiao Yixian enjoyed some quiet time together.
There was no one else in the valley, only the creatures of nature.
However, early the next morning, Gu Fei noticed that the Little Fairy Doctor hadn't come out for a long time.
Worried, he knocked on the hut's door. When there was no response, he pushed it open.
Inside, smoke filled the air. Gu Fei squinted and saw poisonous gas wafting from the room.
Sighing, Gu Fei shook his head helplessly.
"So, she's finally chosen this path ."
The gas was deadly to others but had no effect on Gu Fei. He waved his sleeve, dispelling the smoke, and walked inside.
As the room cleared, Gu Fei saw the Little Fairy Doctor lying on the bed, her eyes tightly shut, her face twisted in pain, and her brows furrowed.
Her once rosy cheeks had turned a strange rainbow hue.
After a quick inspection, Gu Fei realized her life wasn't in danger.
However, her cultivation level was too low, and she had ingested too much poison at once, making it difficult for her body to process.
"It seems I'll have to watch over you for a while..." Gu Fei murmured.
He meditated nearby, quietly guarding the Little Fairy Doctor, waiting for her to wake up naturally.
Though he could force her awake, Gu Fei feared it would harm her body.
Although Xiao Yixian wasn't in life-threatening danger this time, Gu Fei remained vigilant, ensuring nothing else went wrong.
