Dou Po: I married my wife Xun Er, but she refused to consummate the marriage!

24: I’ve taken too much poison!Xiao Yi Xian glanced back at Mu She’s ugly, unresigned face, her heart devoid of any ripples, and followed Gu Fei silently back to her room.

In the night, Wan Yao Pharmacy was eerily silent; Boss Yao’s death had yet to be discovered.

Xiao Yi Xian lay down on her fragrant bed, a faint smile gracing her lips, as she secretly looked at the young man sitting quietly by the bed.

That face was incredibly reassuring, and the occasional smile he showed seemed very approachable.

He was completely unlike the Gu Fei who, moments ago, had expressionlessly and decisively killed Boss Yao and Mu She.

Yet, Xiao Yi Xian felt a warmth in her heart, knowing someone was protecting her.

This time, to help Xiao Yi Xian, Gu Fei had killed so many people in Qingshan Town.

And they weren’t just nobodies.

Among them, one was Boss Yao, the owner of Wan Yao Pharmacy, who usually had dealings with many people.

Another was even more famous in Qingshan Town: Mu She, the two-star Dou Master leader of the strongest mercenary group, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group!

Xiao Yi Xian, being intelligent and perceptive, naturally understood that she could no longer live the peaceful life she yearned for in Qingshan Town.

If she insisted on staying in Qingshan Town without Gu Fei’s protection, she would likely find herself in a difficult position.

So, when Gu Fei turned to her and asked casually, ”Xiao Yi Xian, what do you plan to do next?”

Xiao Yi Xian thought for a moment, then smiled, her eyes curving, and said, ”As for me, I want to live in the Small Mountain Valley I discovered earlier for a while.”

Gu Fei did not press further; since Xiao Yi Xian had already made up her mind, he didn’t need to worry about her too much.

Afterward, Xiao Yi Xian jumped off the bed, stood by the window, and blew a whistle.

Gu Fei keenly heard the sound of wings flapping violently in the distance, a sound that came from far away and then grew closer, finally slowing down and landing outside the window.

A crisp tapping sound came, and Xiao Yi Xian pushed open the window; a Blue Hawk was perched on the flat ground outside, its intelligent eyes looking at them.

Xiao Yi Xian agilely climbed out the window and walked up to the massive Blue Hawk.

The Blue Hawk lowered its head to look at her, leaning against Xiao Yi Xian very docilely and affectionately.

Xiao Yi Xian turned her head, stroking its smooth, soft fur, which elicited a series of clear chirps.

”This is my pet Demonic Beast, Blue Hawk, a first-level flying Demonic Beast.”

Noticing Gu Fei’s gaze, Xiao Yi Xian explained.

Blue Hawks were common in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but for Xiao Yi Xian to tame one, she must have put in a lot of effort.

Xiao Yi Xian stood there, hesitating for a moment, then turned to Gu Fei and stammered, ”Brother Gu Fei... can... can you accompany me there?”

Xiao Yi Xian pleaded.

It wasn’t that she was afraid of danger, but a strange reluctance filled her heart, making her impulsively make the request.

[Xiao Yi Xian generated anticipation, emotion value +100]

Gu Fei pretended to think for a long time, and under Xiao Yi Xian’s somewhat expectant gaze, he slowly agreed, nodding gently.

[Xiao Yi Xian generated happiness, emotion value +100]

Xiao Yi Xian showed a faint smile and boarded the Blue Hawk’s broad back first.

Afterward, Gu Fei no longer flew on his own, even though he had the ability to fly.

Next, Gu Fei followed Xiao Yi Xian onto the Blue Hawk’s back.

After confirming they were both seated securely, the Blue Hawk flapped its wings and slowly ascended into the sky.

The experience at high altitude was quite interesting; Xiao Yi Xian, no matter how calm she usually was, was still a young girl, and she was very excited, leaning forward to look at the distant ground.

”Brother Gu Fei, that’s my favorite shop to go to!”

”Got it, got it, be careful.”

Although there was plenty of room on the Blue Hawk’s back, Gu Fei was afraid Xiao Yi Xian might move too much and accidentally fall off, so he sat very close to her.

The moment Xiao Yi Xian turned her head, her lips brushed Gu Fei’s cheek.

She shivered all over, only then realizing what she had just done, and her face instantly turned crimson.

This action also gave Gu Fei a strange, ineffable feeling in an instant, and both of them fell silent.

[Xiao Yi Xian generated shyness, emotion value +100]

After that, Xiao Yi Xian became much more well-behaved.

Soon after, the Blue Hawk flew over the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range and arrived at a basin.

This basin was where Wan Yao Pharmacy’s herb-gathering team had previously hired a group of mercenaries to gather medicinal herbs.

However, the Blue Hawk went to the very depths of the basin, a place that was perpetually shrouded in mist; from a distance, Gu Fei could only vaguely make out a silhouette.

In the depths of the basin, the Blue Hawk slowly descended, and the Small Mountain Valley was actually filled with rich energy.

Gu Fei was somewhat surprised.

Although the richness of this energy couldn’t compare to the Ancient World, it was much stronger than outside.

[Xiao Yi Xian generated pride, emotion value +100]

”How is it, Brother Gu Fei? Isn’t this place good? This Small Mountain Valley is completely isolated from the outside, and the sky is covered by thick fog, making it extremely hidden. If I hadn’t stumbled upon it by chance, I probably wouldn’t have discovered this wondrous place.”

Looking at Gu Fei’s somewhat surprised expression, Xiao Yi Xian chuckled with a hint of pride.

”It is indeed good,” Gu Fei nodded.

Next, Xiao Yi Xian led Gu Fei to a straw shed.

This was where she had temporarily stayed when she came here before; Gu Fei didn’t mind and gladly settled in.

Arriving at this refreshing and energy-rich place, Gu Fei’s mind also relaxed, and he and Xiao Yi Xian enjoyed a moment of unique tranquility.

There was no one in this Small Mountain Valley, only the creatures of nature.

However, early the next morning, Gu Fei found that Xiao Yi Xian had not come out for a long time.

He couldn’t help but feel a little worried, knocked on the door of the thatched hut, and after no response, he pushed it open directly.

Inside, smoke swirled, and Gu Fei squinted; a large amount of poisonous gas was emanating from within.

Gu Fei couldn’t help but sigh, shaking his head helplessly.

”It seems she still chose this path!”

This poisonous gas was fatal to others, but it had no effect on Gu Fei; Gu Fei gently waved his sleeve and walked straight in.

The smoke in the room gradually dissipated, revealing Xiao Yi Xian on the bed, her eyes tightly closed, her expression quite pained, and her brows furrowed.

Her originally rosy pretty face was now also showing a strange seven-colored hue.

After a brief check of Xiao Yi Xian’s condition, Gu Fei understood that she was not in any life-threatening danger.

It was just that her cultivation was too low, and this silly girl had consumed too many poisons at once, making her unable to digest them.

”It seems I’ll have to watch over you for a while...”

Gu Fei sat cross-legged beside her, quietly guarding Xiao Yi Xian, waiting for her to wake up naturally.

Although he could forcibly awaken Xiao Yi Xian, doing so might cause harm to her body.

Although Xiao Yi Xian was not in life-threatening danger this time, Gu Fei kept an eye on her situation, fearing that some other accident might occur.
