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.
Some 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.

This person was so strong- who knows if the leader could actually kill him?
"Yes, our leader is a Two-Star Dou Master! You probably won't even have time to beg for mercy when he arrives!"

Gu Fei looked dismissive. A Two-Star Dou Master? He thought they would be stronger. He didn't hesitate to deal with the mercenaries. Moving quickly, he unleashed several powerful energy blasts that darted through the forest. In an instant, the cultivation of the dozen or so mercenaries was completely dcrippled, leaving them as ordinary people.

The Little Fairy Doctor was astonished, her beautiful eyes wide. Gu Fei's methods were ruthless, and she had never witnessed such a scene before. Yet, after her initial shock, she didn't think Gu Fei was wrong to strip the mercenaries of their cultivation so thoroughly. After all, in this world, such was the law. A group of weaker individuals harbored murderous intent against a stronger one, and the stronger one sparing their lives was already an act of mercy.
"Were you scared?" Gu Fei asked with a relaxed smile.
"No..." The Little Fairy Doctor gently shook her head, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.
Gu Fei then approached the edge of the cliff and glanced down, his gaze admiring the view. "This cliff, with its strange trees growing in a peculiar way, seems to hide an ancient predecessor's cave. It's a good fortune that you've discovered it."
He spoke softly, his eyes showing no trace of greed.
The Little Fairy Doctor was taken aback. She had originally intended to share half of the treasure with Gu Fei, but hearing his words, she realized that, given Gu Fei's status, he might not even be interested in the treasure hidden here.
She knew that after today's events, the secret of this place would inevitably spread. This kind of treasure would undoubtedly attract countless treasure hunters. If she didn't retrieve it today, there might not be another chance.
Little Fairy Doctor experiences hesitation, emotion value +80
Gu Fei's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Is there something you need help with?"
After a moment of hesitation, the Little Fairy Doctor finally spoke up, "Sir, may I ask you to help me with something?"
Her eyes showed a hint of unease, as if she was worried about troubling Gu Fei too much. But Gu Fei just smiled and nodded.
The Little Fairy Doctor, usually shy and gentle, rarely asked for help. Her request now showed that she truly trusted Gu Fei.
"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.
Little Fairy Doctor experiences joy, emotion value +80
"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.
Little Fairy Doctor experiences curiosity, emotion value +80
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.
Little Fairy Doctor experiences shock, emotion value +100
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.
