BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage!

Chapter 16: Little Fairy Doctor's Admiration!



Gu Fei hadn't wasted his time while strolling through the streets earlier. He had visited a teahouse where he gathered some information he was interested in. The mercenaries there were quite friendly. Gu Fei merely started a conversation, and they eagerly contributed their thoughts one by one.

As Gu Fei leisurely sipped his tea, he quickly learned everything he wanted to know. With a smile, he complimented the mercenaries, saying that guarding Qingshan Town must be quite challenging, and he treated them to tea. The mercenaries were touched by his kindness and freely shared even more information.

Although these tiny emotional values meant little to Gu Fei, the intelligence he obtained was invaluable. The presence of the Blood Lotus Essence confirmed his suspicions. The Blood Lotus Essence had not yet been taken by Xiao Yan and remained in the Ten Thousand Medicine House. This, along with other clues, indicated that Xiao Yan had not yet reached the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

As Gu Fei pondered Xiao Yan's current whereabouts, Little Fairy Doctor spoke again, her voice soft and clear.

"Young Master, if you don't mind, in three days, you can join us in gathering herbs in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

Though a bit shy, she was determined to invite this reliable alchemist, racking her brain for reasons to persuade him.

"Hmm... The Magical Beast Mountain Range is rich in herbs. If Ten Thousand Medicine House doesn't have the materials you need, the mountains surely will!"

Gu Fei considered for a moment, and under Little Fairy Doctor's anxious gaze, he slowly nodded.

"Very well..."

His agreement brought a look of joy to Little Fairy Doctor's face.

The Magical Beast Mountain Range was home to many fearsome beasts. Usually, their herb gathering trips stayed on the outskirts, but once, they accidentally ventured too far and were almost wiped out by a terrifying beast. Although Gu Fei's Dou Qi aura didn't seem particularly strong, Little Fairy Doctor had a strange confidence in his abilities, believing his strength was far beyond that of the mercenaries.

With Little Fairy Doctor's invitation, Gu Fei was soon settled in the Ten Thousand Medicine House manor. She introduced him to Boss Yao, explaining that Gu Fei was an alchemist. Seeing the young, refined-looking Gu Fei, Boss Yao treated him with great respect. After all, becoming an alchemist required exceptional talent and ample cultivation resources, and a young, accomplished alchemist like Gu Fei must come from a notable background.

Though Boss Yao couldn't immediately gauge Gu Fei's true power, he sensed a unique aura about him. Moreover, Little Fairy Doctor's respectful attitude towards him left no doubt about his identity. Deep in thought, Boss Yao decided that befriending this alchemist might bring great fortune. However, Gu Fei wasn't looking for formalities.

"I'm on a tight schedule, so I can't wait for three days. I'd like to depart tomorrow," Gu Fei said with a smile. As he spoke, he subtly revealed a hint of his true strength.

In an instant, Boss Yao's expression changed, as though he had seen a terrifying beast.

He felt that the aura of this young man was several times more frightening than any third- rank magical beast he had ever faced. The immense pressure made him instinctively fearful, quickly extinguishing any thoughts of playing hard to get.

Boss Yao agreed with great respect to let the herb-gathering team enter the mountains the next day. This terrifying man was not someone he could afford to offend. After the arrangements were made, Gu Fei leisurely followed Little Fairy Doctor to his courtyard, his aura now completely concealed.

That evening, Little Fairy Doctor personally delivered Gu Fei's dinner to his courtyard. Her intentions were simple-she wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to consult the powerful alchemist about medical knowledge. Surely, such a skilled alchemist would have a wealth of knowledge.

As she brought in the meal, the moonlight enhanced her already enchanting beauty, making her appear even more graceful. Her purple eyes fixed on Gu Fei, and for such a diligent beauty, Gu Fei was generous with his knowledge.

Little Fairy Doctor had also brought a few of her medical books, filled with her neat handwriting. The books were well-used, with corners slightly curled from frequent flipping, but they were well-cared for, showing only light yellowing from age. She didn't disturb Gu Fei and sat quietly on the side, waiting for him to finish his meal.

Gu Fei ate gracefully, and as Little Fairy Doctor watched, she found herself lost in thought. When she finally snapped out of it, her face was flushed, and her eyes were flitting nervously.

Receiving the system prompt, Gu Fei looked at Little Fairy Doctor in confusion, noticing her bashful expression. She quickly averted her gaze after making eye contact with him, her eyes darting nervously.

Gu Fei scratched his head, puzzled by her reaction. After finishing his meal, Little Fairy Doctor approached to clean up. Her delicate hands moved gracefully as she lowered her gaze, her cheeks glowing softly under the moonlight. The scene was so serene that Gu Fei hesitated to interrupt it.

Once the dishes were cleared, Little Fairy Doctor hesitated before picking up her medical books and approaching Gu Fei. Normally, she would confidently ask an alchemist for guidance, but for some reason, she felt a bit shy around this young nobleman.

Seeing her reluctance, Gu Fei stood up and took the books from her, making her pause slightly. He opened to a page marked with a carefully placed bookmark, noticing her elegant

handwriting. A smile curved his lips.

"Is there a question here?" Gu Fei asked casually, without looking at her.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded quietly, her voice soft.

"Combining this herb with Lively Fruit can worsen side effects for patients, and in severe cases, cause rejection reactions. Previously..."

Gu Fei offered his advice freely. After just a few words, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes grew more focused, nodding continuously. His brief explanation made her feel as though she had learned

a great deal.

She looked up and sneaked a glance at Gu Fei's profile. He was explaining the medical theory

with intense focus.

As the system's notification sounded, Gu Fei quietly smirked before continuing his explanation. Under the moonlight, their shadows intertwined, creating a scene of subtle

beauty.
