Chapter 37: Could I Have Been Exposed?
The Amethyst Winged Lion King briefly stopped at the edge of the desert, where the surrounding climate was unbearably hot.
"It's so hot!"
Without the protective barrier, beads of sweat continuously formed on Little Fairy Doctor's forehead, and her purple hair became damp and sticky. She loved staying clean, but seeing Gu Fei deep in thought, she didn't want to disturb him. She quietly fanned herself with her hand.
Although they had prepared beforehand, there were still some oversights. The clothes Little Fairy Doctor wore were slightly thick, suitable for the spring-like weather of Qingshan Town. But here, it was unbearably hot.
Gu Fei glanced at her and with a wave of his hand, a barrier of Dou Qi enveloped them both. She quickly felt much more comfortable as the climate became more bearable.

After making some adjustments, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flew back into the sky, heading towards Gu Fei's destination.
His first stop was Stone Desert City, where Hai Bodong, who had his cultivation sealed by Queen Medusa, was hiding.
As the yellow city gradually came into view, Gu Fei didn't slow down and directly ordered the Amethyst Winged Lion King to fly towards it.
Little Fairy Doctor, sitting on the Lion King's back, leaned forward excitedly to get a better look at the distant city. Her pupils dilated in excitement, and she nearly leaned too far out. Little Fairy Doctor feels excited, Emotional Value +100
"Brother Gu Fei, the desert scenery is so beautiful! This is my first time seeing a city in the desert!"
He helplessly pulled her back.
"Be careful. If you fall, I won't catch you."
Little Fairy Doctor pouted and obediently sat back, though her gaze remained fixed on the view below.
Her eyebrows arched, and suddenly, a lovely blush spread across her face as her eyes widened.

"Brother Gu Fei, why are those people dressed so... so lightly?"
He followed her gaze, his eyes also filled with curiosity.
Although he had read descriptions of this in the original story, seeing it in person for the first time was still a novelty, much like it was for Little Fairy Doctor.
As they approached the city, the number of people on the streets increased. Most of the men were shirtless, their dark skin radiating a rugged, masculine aura. The women, with skin a shade of seductive bronze, dressed far more boldly than the reserved women within the empire.
Unlike the shy, modest women of the empire, these desert women wore tight leather outfits that barely covered their chests and the area just below. Their slender waists were boldly exposed, and their long, toned legs were only partially covered by short skirts or shorts, swaying with a seductive rhythm as they walked. The style was reminiscent of modern fashion.
Gu Fei, accustomed to more conservative attire, was momentarily stunned by the sight of these boldly dressed women.

Little Fairy Doctor noticed his reaction and bit her lip, turning away in a huff.
The next moment, Gu Fei pulled his gaze back, sighing helplessly as he looked at Little Fairy Doctor with a hint of amusement.
He murmured to himself, "It's nothing special, really. Our Little Fairy Doctor is much prettier."

Only then did Little Fairy Doctor huff softly and turn back around.
They continued to banter playfully, with Little Fairy Doctor looking down at the yellow city that was now fully visible in the distance.
Inside the city, the unique desert-style architecture came into view, with one peculiar building after another catching their eye. Above the city gate, three large, faintly red characters were engraved into the wall, exuding a slight sense of bloodthirstiness from a distance.
"Stone Desert City..."
Gu Fei softly murmured the name, smiling.
As the Amethyst Winged Lion King flew closer and gradually descended, the once-lax city guards and the passersby outside became filled with fear.

Creatures as massive as the Amethyst Winged Lion King were rarely seen by most people.
Gu Fei's eyes calmly swept over them, and shortly after, the Lion King came to a stop above the city.
He then wrapped his arm around Little Fairy Doctor's waist and descended from the sky, landing in the city.
The city guards, usually quick to take advantage of the weak, now looked at him with
trepidation, shrinking back without daring to speak.
His arrival caused a massive commotion in the city.

The desert was isolated, with outsiders rarely entering and locals seldom leaving. The people here had never witnessed such a grand display.
A young man who appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen not only possessed such a terrifying flying beast but could also traverse the sky himself. It was simply unbelievable!
Little Fairy Doctor giggled softly.
These people's reactions were exactly the same as hers when she first witnessed Gu Fei's power. It was perfectly understandable. After all, anyone would be shocked to see such a
prodigy.
Gu Fei paused for a moment and called out to a passing pedestrian.
"Excuse me, where can I find a shop that sells maps?"
The pedestrian had seen this composed young man leap down from the giant beast and land effortlessly on the ground. He dared not refuse and promptly provided directions to the best
map shops in the city.
"Let's find something to eat first!"
After getting directions, Gu Fei didn't rush to his destination. Instead, he planned to take Little Fairy Doctor to a restaurant in the city for a meal. After all, they had been traveling for a long time, and while he was fine, Little Fairy Doctor, with her lower cultivation level, was
probably hungry.
At that moment, the Lion King was still hovering over the city, causing great fear among the residents. Many fearful glances were cast upward at the enormous beast. Although the beast seemed calm, the people below were terrified.
Even though it showed no intention of attacking, it felt like a sword was hanging over their heads-how could they not be afraid?
Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment before speaking to Gu Fei, "Maybe we should let the Lion King wait outside. It's scaring the people here."
"Alright."
Hearing this, Gu Fei nodded. Although he didn't mind, since Little Fairy Doctor mentioned it, he readily agreed. He sent a mental command to the Lion King, instructing it to circle outside
the city.
As Gu Fei and Little Fairy Doctor enjoyed their meal in a restaurant, an elderly man with a head full of white hair emerged from an ancient shop in the city.
He had also noticed the sixth-tier flying beast and was lost in deep thought as he watched. "Could it be that someone has discovered me?"
