Capítulo 20: Do You Really Want Nothing?
After the initial shock wore off, Little Fairy Doctor felt the hand around her waist and her face suddenly flushed red.
Little Fairy Doctor felt shy, emotion value +100
Her fingers tightened around the hem of her clothes, her eyes darting around nervously, her cheeks and the tips of her ears turning bright red. After all, this was the first time Little Fairy Doctor had been in such close contact with a man.
In the past, when faced with people's advances, although she had a gentle personality, she always avoided them. To her, those people weren't as important as a single medicinal herb.
But when it was Gu Fei…
Little Fairy Doctor patted her cheeks, trying to shake off the thoughts in her mind.
Gu Fei glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up slightly.
Next, Gu Fei and Little Fairy Doctor descended to the middle of the cliff.
Just as they were about to reach the ground, suddenly, a rock snake darted out. Its cold tongue flickered out, and its tail coiled up, ready to strike and devour them in the next second.
Although Little Fairy Doctor wasn't afraid of snakes, she would still get startled when suddenly encountering one during herb gathering.
But this time, it felt different.
Little Fairy Doctor felt dependent and trusting, emotion value +100
Little Fairy Doctor leaned against Gu Fei, unafraid.
Relying on his tall figure, she felt a sense of security.
Because she knew that with Gu Fei around, there would be no danger.
He might not be as tall and burly as those mercenaries, but he would never fall.
Gu Fei effortlessly dealt with the rock snake and finally saw an inconspicuous platform extending from the cliff's bottom.
With a light step, he floated above the platform, surveying the surroundings.
It was quite chaotic here, with no signs of anyone coming by, leaving them no place to land.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Fei raised his hand and sent out a gust of wind.
His control over his strength was perfect, only moving away the surrounding twigs and leaves without causing any other damage.
Gu Fei brought Little Fairy Doctor down, and once his hand released her, the warm sensation faded, leaving Little Fairy Doctor feeling somewhat empty.
Little Fairy Doctor feels lost, emotion value +100
She snapped out of it, realizing she had just been longing for Gu Fei's hand around her waist, and her face flushed red again.
Quickly, she looked around seriously, confirmed her destination, and then stepped forward, calling out to him.
"Young Master, this way."
Soon, they reached the entrance of a cave. It was clearly a sunny day, and the surroundings were hot, yet the cave before them exuded a cold aura.
Gu Fei took the lead and entered the cave. Inside, it was quiet and dark, almost to the point where one couldn't see their hand in front of them.
As they walked, Gu Fei remained calm, his steps steady, while Little Fairy Doctor's face grew paler.
The faint coldness in the cave wrapped around her, causing Little Fairy Doctor to shiver and her skin to prickle with goosebumps.
Gu Fei, on the other hand, felt fine. With his Dou Qi protecting him, he could regulate his body temperature, unafraid of the cold.
In the quiet tunnel, only the faint sounds of their footsteps echoed.
Little Fairy Doctor wasn't particularly brave, and facing such a claustrophobic environment, she couldn't help but feel a bit scared.
Thankfully, Gu Fei was with her. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sticking close to him, not daring to fall behind by even a step.
They had been walking for a long time, and the cave seemed endless. Little Fairy Doctor's feet started to ache, but she bit her lip, unwilling to complain.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Gu Fei stopped abruptly in front of her.
Little Fairy Doctor, lost in thought, didn't notice in time and, due to inertia, bumped straight into Gu Fei's back, leading to an unexpected close contact.
"I'm sorry, Young Master, I didn't know you were going to stop suddenly. I'm really sorry, I wasn't paying attention…"
Little Fairy Doctor feels flustered, emotion value +100
Little Fairy Doctor didn't know why, but her heart was racing.
She felt her face burning, her expression flustered, as she stammered out an apology to Gu Fei.
There was an almost imperceptible hint of a sob in her voice, and Gu Fei immediately noticed it.
Even though she had hurt herself in the collision, she was still apologizing to him. Gu Fei smiled helplessly, "It's alright, I didn't realize you were following so closely behind…"
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's heart raced even faster, completely different from the calm and composed Little Fairy Doctor who was so popular back in Qingshan Town.
The next moment, Little Fairy Doctor looked around, understanding why Gu Fei had stopped so suddenly. It was because the path ahead was blocked by a stone door.
"These stone doors usually have mechanisms. Let me find it…" Little Fairy Doctor tentatively suggested.
"No need…"
Gu Fei shook his head and struck out with his palm.
The seemingly heavy stone door shattered instantly.
Little Fairy Doctor instinctively dodged the flying debris but was amazed to see that, under Gu Fei's control, not a single piece of the shattered stone came near them.
Little Fairy Doctor felt admiration, emotion value +100
The young master is truly strong!
His control over Dou Qi had reached a level of perfection.
Little Fairy Doctor marveled inwardly.
Next, they ventured deeper into the cave to retrieve the treasure and found three chests along the way.
Since the map fragment was with the skeleton, Little Fairy Doctor didn't dare approach, so Gu Fei went to retrieve the key.
While he was at it, he also discreetly took the map fragment hidden in the skeleton's arm and stored it in his ring.
He hadn't planned on telling Little Fairy Doctor about it anyway, and even if he did, it would be pointless since she had no way of using it.
Knowing too much would do her no good.
After that, they opened the chests one by one, revealing the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, a flying Dou Technique, and a high-level Xuan-class Dou Technique scroll.
Little Fairy Doctor's eyes sparkled, almost blinded by the dazzling treasures.
Little Fairy Doctor felt amazed, emotion value +100]
Gu Fei glanced over the items, not wanting any of them.
With his current cultivation, unless it was a high-level Earth rank or above flying Dou Technique, it would be useless to him.
"Young Master, do you really want nothing?"
Little Fairy Doctor felt guilty, emotion value +100
Seeing Gu Fei give all the treasures to her, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but feel guilty.
After all, she had asked for help without offering anything in return.
However, it was also possible that Gu Fei simply didn't find these things valuable.
Not wanting to see her frown, Gu Fei shifted his gaze to a nearby cluster of wild herbs.
"There are some nice herbs over there. Let's consider them your payment for asking me to come down."
Gu Fei pointed to the herbs growing in the cave and smiled.
"Alright, Young Master, wait here. I'll gather them for you right away…"
Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor smiled brightly, then took out her tools and focused on collecting the herbs.
Gu Fei watched her work with admiration in his eyes.
This woman, though not as stunning as Xun'er in terms of pure beauty, had a unique and special aura about her.
