Chapter 43: Your face is so red, are you feeling uncomfortable?
This time, Gu Fei decided not to let the Amethyst Winged Lion King fly into the city and cause panic as before. Instead, he stopped a few miles outside Shimo City and asked the Lion King to wait there while he and Xiao Yixian entered the city quietly.
Upon arriving in Shimo City, Gu Fei took Xiao Yixian to a restaurant first. The desert is full of yellow sand, which makes it difficult to breathe without choking on the dust. Although most cities have air filtering formations, they are still inadequate.
Gu Fei and Xiao Yixian had flown from high altitude, so their situation was better than those on the ground, protected by their shield. However, after walking from outside to inside the city, they were both covered in yellow sand blown up by the strong wind.
The Little Fairy Doctor looked at her white dress, now dirty, with tears in her eyes. There was also some yellow sand on her face. Gu Fei looked down and chuckled, but the sharp-eared Little Fairy Doctor heard him and stared at him with big eyes.
"Were you just laughing?"
[Xiao Yixian has doubts, and her emotion value increases by 100]
Gu Fei quickly cleared his throat and shook his head seriously. When the Little Fairy Doctor was about to speak, Gu Fei cut her off.
"Let's find a place to take a shower first, and then I'll take you shopping for clothes later."
"OK!"
The Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up with excitement.
[Xiao Yixian becomes excited, and her emotion value increases by 100]
"Really? Brother Gu Fei, you can't lie to me! I saw many beautiful clothes in the shops on the way here!"
Gu Fei laughed and patted her head.
"Okay, okay. Later, I'll give you all my money to buy clothes."
[Xiao Yixian becomes excited, and her emotion value increases by 100]
Although Xiao Yixian usually appears calm, she is still a little girl who loves beautiful clothes. She had accompanied him across thousands of miles from Qingshan Town to Shimo City without complaint, so he wanted to be kind to her.
The Little Fairy Doctor smiled, thanked him, and hurried to take a bath. Even though Gu Fei wasn't dirty, he still took a shower, feeling it was better to wash off the sand.
Soon, they finished bathing, and Xiao Yixian changed into a new long dress and went out onto the street. Gu Fei followed her with a smile, enjoying the sight of the lively girl in front of him.
Since arriving in the desert, Xiao Yixian's personality had become much cheerier. She openly made requests and jokes, which made Gu Fei happy as it showed her trust in him. Her true personality was likely more carefree and playful than the gentle demeanor she had in Qingshan Town.
"Brother Gu Fei! Come up quickly!"
Xiao Yixian noticed Gu Fei standing still and called out to him.
"Coming!"
Gu Fei waved and walked toward the Little Fairy Doctor. The clothes in the shops were exotic, with many having intricate designs. Xiao Yixian picked out a skirt, glanced at Gu Fei, and blushed deeply.
[Xiao Yixian becomes shy, and her emotion value increases by 100]
Gu Fei, seeing her reaction, was puzzled but noticed her red face.
"Your face is so red, are you feeling unwell?"
[Xiao Yixian becomes panicked and shy, and her emotion value increases by 100]
The Little Fairy Doctor, startled, jumped back with her ears turning red and looked around nervously.
"Nothing, nothing."
Gu Fei shook his head, gathered the clothes Xiao Yixian selected, and went to pay. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Yixian's eyes sparkling with excitement.
[Xiao Yixian becomes happy, and her emotion value increases by 100]
"Brother Gu Fei, you're so handsome! The lady at the shop next door told me that a good man is one who spends money on a woman!"
Gu Fei, feeling helpless, led the excited girl back to the restaurant.
…
The next day, Gu Fei planned to find Qing Lin. Qing Lin's situation had been difficult, and if he had arrived a day earlier, he could have freed her sooner. Despite claiming he wasn't a good person, Gu Fei felt a sense of urgency as Qing Lin's life in the original novel was not ideal. Additionally, she could provide him with emotional points.
"Little Fairy Doctor, I sensed an extremely powerful physique in this city yesterday and am considering taking on a disciple."
[Xiao Yixian has doubts, and her emotion value increases by 100]
Xiao Yixian showed doubt and murmured to herself, "Brother Gu Fei is going to accept a disciple. Does that mean there will be another person around?"
"Little Fairy Doctor, when I find someone, I will take you with me. Please stay in the room and don't wander off, okay?" Gu Fei instructed.
"Brother Gu Fei seems to care about me very much!"
Hearing the concern in Gu Fei's voice, Xiao Yixian was surprised.
[Xiao Yixian has a heart-throb emotion, and her emotion value increases by 100]
Gu Fei didn't expect such a big reaction from her. Xiao Yixian's heartbeat quickened unexpectedly.
"No, I must go with you to see what kind of disciple you are going to accept, Brother Gu Fei!"
The Little Fairy Doctor smiled brightly, her expression more beautiful than the rare night-blooming cereus.
Gu Fei, taken aback by her smile, quickly cleared his throat and changed the subject.
[Xiao Yixian becomes happy, and her emotion value increases by 100]
Seeing Gu Fei's rare panic, Xiao Yixian's smile grew.
"Okay, let's go together!"
Gu Fei nodded in agreement and took Xiao Yixian to fly over the city. Although they flew without visible support, it felt like walking on flat ground, moving freely across the sky.
With Gu Fei's strength, almost no one in the city could detect him. Unless seen with the naked eye, he remained undetectable.
In a corner of the city, there was a large manor, the base of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group of Shimo City. Gu Fei remembered that the two young leaders of the Sand Mercenary Group in Shimo City were Xiao Yan's eldest brother Xiao Ding and second brother Xiao Li.
