Chapter 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.

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.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels
But this time, it felt different.

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.

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.
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.

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.
