Chapter 19: Brother, Please Help Me!
The dozen or so mercenaries didn't even warrant a glance from Gu Fei. Even if they attacked together, they posed no threat to him- neither did Mu Li.
Mu Li experiences resentment, emotion value +15
Mu Li glared at Gu Fei, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Since Gu Fei refused to cooperate with the Wolfhead Mercenary Group, there was no need to let him live. No matter how strong Gu Fei was, he couldn't believe that a whole group of them wouldn't be able to kill a single alchemist!
Of course, Gu Fei sensed Mu Li's killing intent. Since that was the case, he wouldn't hold back either. With a disdainful look in his eyes, Gu Fei raised his hand slightly and released a blast of energy. The energy was faint but incredibly fast. By the time it pierced through Mu Li's chest, his face was still twisted in a dark expression, not realizing what had happened.
In the next moment, Mu Li's chest was completely pierced through. Without even changing his expression, he collapsed to the ground, clearly dead.
The other mercenaries, who had been brimming with confidence, were now trembling in fear, their legs giving way beneath them.

They stood frozen in place, too scared to even think of running. The power Gu Fei had just displayed was terrifying. With a mere casual attack, he had instantly killed Mu Li, a Seven- Star Dou Practitioner. Mu Li was one of the top experts not only in the Wolfhead Mercenary Group but in the entire Qingshan Town. Many of the mercenaries present weren't even dou practitioners. How could they possibly resist?

The Little Fairy Doctor was also stunned by Gu Fei's strength. Having lived in the small town of Qingshan, she had never encountered such a powerful individual before. However, she wasn't frightened by Gu Fei's lethal action, as Mu Li had been the one trying to kill them first. She clutched her chest, feeling a lingering fear.

If not for Gu Fei today, she would have either had her secret exposed or perished here.e of the remaining mercenaries, realizing they stood no chance against such a formidable opponent, tried to use the Wolfhead Mercenary Group's leader to intimidate Gu Fei.
"You killed the vice leader today. If you dare to kill us too, our leader won't let you off!"
One mercenary blustered, though he was clearly nervous.
"Could you help me retrieve the treasure down below? Of course, if there's anything you fancy, please take it first and leave the rest for me."
Although she felt a twinge of pain in her heart, she knew that without Gu Fei's help today, she wouldn't be able to obtain the treasure at the bottom of the cliff.
"Alright..." Gu Fei agreed, though he wasn't interested in the treasure himself. He understood that the Little Fairy Doctor would be most uncomfortable with owing anyone a favor.
As expected, the Little Fairy Doctor's eyes curved into a smile, her voice noticeably lighter.

"Sir, let me tie a rope first, and we can go down together."
The Little Fairy Doctor took out a rope, preparing to descend. Although it was troublesome, it was the safest way. She had always used a rope to descend before.
But Gu Fei interrupted her.
"No need for that. I have a more convenient method."
Gu Fei shook his head, meeting the Little Fairy Doctor's curious gaze.

This cliff was incredibly steep. How could Gu Fei have a way to descend without a rope? But then Gu Fei smiled faintly and suddenly spread a pair of red wings from his back. With a gentle flutter, he whispered an apology to the Little Fairy Doctor before wrapping his arms around her slender waist and flying down the cliff.

The sight of those large, crimson wings had left her momentarily stunned. Seeing Gu Fei soar through the air using those wings made her feel even more shocked.
Little Fairy Doctor experiences awe, emotion value +100
Isn't this the ability of a Dou King expert? The power of flight, how could it appear in
someone as young as Gu Fei, who is merely an alchemist?
This astonishing revelation even made her forget the awkwardness of being held by a man.
