Chapter 42: Are You Feeling Unwell?

This time, without waiting for Little Fairy Doctor to speak, Gu Fei didn't let the Amethyst Winged Lion King fly directly into the city, avoiding causing a panic like before. Instead, they stopped a few miles outside the city and let the lion king wait somewhere outside. Gu Fei and Little Fairy Doctor entered the city quietly.

Upon entering Rock Desert City, Gu Fei took Little Fairy Doctor to an inn. The desert was filled with yellow sand, making it hard to breathe without inhaling some of it. Although most cities had arrays to filter the air, they were often insufficient.

Gu Fei and Little Fairy Doctor had flown in from high above, where the situation was slightly better, thanks to their protective barrier. However, just walking from outside the city to inside, they both ended up covered in the sand blown up by the wind.

Little Fairy Doctor looked at her now-dirty white dress, nearly in tears. Some yellow sand had also settled on her face. When Gu Fei noticed, he couldn't help but chuckle, though the sharp-eared Little Fairy Doctor caught him and glared at him with her big eyes.

"Were you just laughing at me?"

Gu Fei quickly cleared his throat and shook his head seriously. Just as Little Fairy Doctor was about to lose her temper, Gu Fei quickly spoke up.

"Let's find a place to take a bath first, and later, I'll take you shopping for clothes."

"Okay!"

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up, her attention drawn away.

"Really? Gu Fei, you better not be lying to me! I saw a lot of shops along the way with beautiful clothes on display!"

Gu Fei laughed and patted her fluffy head. "Alright, alright, later, you can use all my money to buy clothes."

Little Fairy Doctor feels excited. Emotional value +100

Although Little Fairy Doctor usually seemed calm, she was still a young girl who couldn't resist the allure of beautiful clothes.

She had accompanied Gu Fei all the way from Qingshan Town to Rock Desert City without complaint. Naturally, Gu Fei wanted to treat her well.

Little Fairy Doctor happily agreed and rushed off to take a bath.

Although Gu Fei didn't have any dirt on him, he also decided to take a bath, feeling a bit uncomfortable. After they both finished and cleaned up, Little Fairy Doctor changed into another long dress and was the first to step out onto the street.

Gu Fei followed her, smiling as he watched the lively girl ahead of him. Since arriving in the desert, her personality had become much more cheerful. She now dared to openly ask for things and even joke around, which made Gu Fei quite happy. It showed that Little Fairy Doctor now trusted him fully.

No, from the moment she agreed to leave Qingshan Town with him without hesitation, it was clear she was destined to stay by his side.

Her true personality was probably like this: cheerful and playful. The gentle Little Fairy Doctor from Qingshan Town was just a perfect mask she used to hide herself.

"Gu Fei, hurry up!"

Little Fairy Doctor called out when she noticed Gu Fei standing still, lost in thought.

"Coming!"

Gu Fei waved and walked towards her.

The clothes here were quite exotic, not as tight and bold as those Little Fairy Doctor had seen earlier, but still with a lot of lace.

Little Fairy Doctor held up a dress, silent for a moment. She sneaked a glance at Gu Fei, and her face suddenly turned a strange shade of red.

Little Fairy Doctor feels shy. Emotional value +100

Gu Fei, sitting nearby and waiting for her to pick out clothes, heard the system notification and looked over in confusion. He saw her smiling to herself, but her face was bright red.

"Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Fei asked with concern as he walked over.

Little Fairy Doctor feels panicked and shy. Emotional value +100

Little Fairy Doctor seemed startled, jumping away as her ears turned red and her eyes darted around.

"It's nothing, nothing."

Gu Fei shook his head, picked up the clothes she had chosen, and went to pay. When he turned back, he saw Little Fairy Doctor with stars in her eyes.

Little Fairy Doctor feels happy. Emotional value +100

"Gu Fei, you're the best! Back in Qingshan Town, the sister next door told me that a man who spends money on a woman is a good man!"

Gu Fei sighed, rubbing his forehead as he led the chatty girl back to the inn.

...

The next day, Gu Fei decided to find Qing Lin. She had always been in a difficult situation. The sooner he could find her, the sooner he could help her escape from it.

Although Gu Fei didn't consider himself a good person, Qinglin's life in the original story was far from ideal. Since she could also provide him with emotional value, he decided to find her sooner.

"Little Fairy Doctor, yesterday I sensed a very powerful physique in this city and thought of taking a disciple."

Little Fairy Doctor feels confused. Emotional value +100

Little Fairy Doctor looked puzzled, thinking to herself, 'If Gu Fei takes a disciple, won't that mean someone else will be with us...'

"Little Fairy Doctor, once I find the person, I'll take you along. But for now, stay in the room and don't go anywhere, okay?" Gu Fei instructed.

"Gu Fei seems very concerned about me!"

Hearing the concern in his voice, Little Fairy Doctor was stunned.

Little Fairy Doctor feels touched. Emotional value +100

Gu Fei hadn't expected his casual words to have such a big impact on her.

Little Fairy Doctor also hadn't expected her heart to start beating faster.

"Not fair! I want to see who Gu Fei wants to take as a disciple!" she said with a smile, her lips curling into a beautiful smile.

This smile was more beautiful than a rare flower blooming at midnight.

Gu Fei, seeing this, was momentarily stunned.

He quickly cleared his throat and changed the topic.

Little Fairy Doctor feels happy. Emotional value +100

Seeing Gu Fei's rare flustered expression, Little Fairy Doctor's smile deepened.

"Alright, let's go together then!"

With that, Gu Fei nodded and took Little Fairy Doctor to fly above the city.

He walked through the air effortlessly as if it were solid ground, flying freely in the sky.

Given Gu Fei's strength, almost no one in the city could sense his presence or aura. Unless they saw him with their eyes, they would never know he was there.

In one corner of the city was a large estate, the headquarters of the Desert Metal Mercenary Group in Rock Desert City.

Gu Fei remembered that the two young leaders of this group were Xiao Yan's elder brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
