In the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Gu Fei quietly waited for Little Fairy Doctor to awaken, and three days passed just like that.
During this time, Little Fairy Doctor's aura fluctuated a bit, but fortunately, nothing went wrong, and everything eventually stabilized.
Gu Fei was not in a hurry. After all, the energy in this small valley was quite abundant. Although it was like a drop in the ocean for him, it was better than nothing.
He left the only bed for the motionless Little Fairy Doctor, so he had to sit on the ground and meditate.
On the fourth day, Little Fairy Doctor finally awoke.
The moment Gu Fei sensed her awakening, he opened his eyes, and their gazes met.
Little Fairy Doctor feels touched. Emotion points +100.
Seeing Gu Fei by her side, Little Fairy Doctor realized that he had been watching over her these past few days.
Her heart was suddenly filled with warmth, and she smiled.
But soon, as if she remembered something, her eyes became evasive, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Gu Fei again.
Little Fairy Doctor feels inferior. Emotion points +100.
"Big Brother Gu Fei, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I just… just had a little accident while preparing medicine…" Little Fairy Doctor said in a hoarse voice, biting her lower lip.
Her fingers tightly clutched the hem of her dress, and her violet eyes were full of complex emotions, fearing that Gu Fei had discovered her dark secret.
If Big Brother Gu Fei really found out, would he despise her and be afraid of her?
She felt like a walking disaster...
Gu Fei noticed the sudden cautiousness in the once-smiling girl and couldn't help but frown.
He had, of course, noticed the change in Little Fairy Doctor's emotions and shook his head helplessly.
What did she take him for? How could he possibly despise her?
"I already know about your constitution. It's the Woeful Poison Body, right?"
Although Gu Fei's tone was questioning, his expression was calm.
Little Fairy Doctor feels shocked. Emotion points +100.
Little Fairy Doctor's eyes widened as she stared at Gu Fei, who casually pointed to the Rainbow Poison Book that she had left lying around.
Her mind buzzed, and she didn't dare look at Gu Fei's reaction.
This constitution would eventually harm everyone around her, and she loathed it herself.
However, the Woeful Poison Body allowed for rapid cultivation by absorbing poisons, granting her power...
"Big Brother Gu Fei, do you... do you despise someone like me? Would you still… want to be my friend?" Little Fairy Doctor asked in a trembling voice, her tone low.
Gu Fei chuckled and shook his head.
"Silly girl, of course I wouldn't, and of course, I still want to be your friend. No matter what your constitution is, to me, you'll always be the kind and gentle Little Fairy Doctor."
"You'll always just be yourself."
Gu Fei paused for a moment before adding, "Besides, with my current level, your poison poses no threat to me."
"Have you forgotten my strength? Or do you not believe that I can be immune to your poison?"
Unless Little Fairy Doctor had already reached the Dou Ancestor level, her poison could not harm him.
She shook her head vigorously, hastily explaining in a panic, afraid that Gu Fei might misunderstand.
Little Fairy Doctor feels touched. Emotion points +100.
Her lips curved into a slight smile, and another wave of warmth filled her heart.
Although Gu Fei's sincere words unraveled her worries, Little Fairy Doctor instinctively kept her distance from him, knowing her body was poisonous.
Little Fairy Doctor feels worried. Emotion points +100.
The Rainbow Poison Book's description of the Woeful Poison Body was terrifying. Little Fairy Doctor didn't know how powerful Gu Fei truly was, but she only worried that her poison might harm him.
"The Woeful Poison Body is a strange constitution that allows one to rapidly increase their power by absorbing poisons. The way to identify it is by a small, seven-colored line on the lower abdomen. This line will grow as the poison power within increases, and when it reaches the heart, the Woeful Poison Body will be at its strongest, but the person will also suffer the pain of being devoured by ten thousand poisons."
Beneath this description, the Rainbow Poison Book detailed the devastating effects of the Woeful Poison Body.
Since Little Fairy Doctor chose to unseal it, this was a path of no return.
For now, her Woeful Poison Body was in its initial stage, so when she was conscious, physical contact with Gu Fei wasn't a problem. But if she were to fall unconscious or as her poison body matured, then… whatever she touched would die.
However, Little Fairy Doctor hid her worries behind a smile, thinking she had disguised them well, even though the system faithfully reported all her emotions.
Little Fairy Doctor feels worried. Emotion points +100.
Gu Fei's eyes flashed, but he said nothing more and behaved as usual.
The two continued to live in the small valley for several more days.
Life in the small valley was peaceful and relaxing, and Gu Fei began to enjoy it.
But he knew that if he wanted to continue living such a comfortable life, he couldn't stop striving to become stronger.
Meanwhile, in another part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range…
Xun'er was still searching for Xiao Yan, but his erratic path made him hard to track, even with the help of her treasure.
Xun'er ventured deeper into the mountain range, heading further away from Xiao Yan. As she delved into the depths, Ling Ying, who had been silent and shadow-like, suddenly spoke.
"Miss, it seems there's a Rank Six Magical Beast nearby."
Xun'er pondered for a moment and muttered to herself, "It seems I've gone the wrong way. With Brother Xiao Yan's current strength, he wouldn't be able to venture into such a dangerous area. He should still be near the outskirts."
A Rank Six Magical Beast was not something Xiao Yan could contend with, so he wouldn't have gone further in.
Xun'er decided to retrace her steps and continue searching for Xiao Yan in the outer regions.
She was visibly anxious, wondering if Brother Xiao Yan was safe after so much time had passed and what the true intentions of the people from the Gu clan were.
At the same time, Gu Fei also sensed the distant energy fluctuations.
He thought for a moment, noting the intensity of the fluctuations, and deduced that a Rank Six Magical Beast must have been provoked.
Rank Six Magical Beasts were highly territorial, and it seemed that something or someone had invaded its territory, or even offended it.
Gu Fei squinted his eyes.
At this time, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range…
"Could it be the battle between the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Yun Yun?"
He vaguely sensed the source of the magical beast's aura. As a transmigrator familiar with the original story, Gu Fei immediately guessed the true situation.
