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

17: Join hands into the Warcraft Mountains! The little medical fairy is panicking!The next morning.

The Wan Yao Pharmacy started recruiting mercenaries early in the Qingshan Town to go up the mountain together.

The Wan Yao Pharmacy was never stingy when it came to their treatment.

They promised many good things, including healing for the mercenaries.

Therefore, many mercenaries came to sign up.

Boss Yao hesitated for a moment, then took a step back and looked at Gu Fei.

”How about you choose the mercenaries?”

Gu Fei glanced at him with a half-smile, then shook his head.

Boss Yao had no choice but to select people according to the usual rules, constantly glancing at Gu Fei’s expression with trepidation as he did so.

Gu Fei’s terrifying Aura from yesterday had simply left too deep an impression on him.

Recalling yesterday, Boss Yao’s body twitched.

”These mercenaries, are you... are you satisfied?”

[Boss Yao generated a fearful emotion, Emotion Value +10]

Gu Fei responded faintly, and the recruitment of mercenaries was concluded.

The Wan Yao Pharmacy was busy during the day, so Boss Yao did not see them off.

Xiao Yi Xian followed behind Gu Fei, with a large group of mercenaries trailing behind them.

Among the mercenaries accompanying Gu Fei to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, just like in the original story, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was also present.

Furthermore, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was the strongest among the three major mercenary groups in Qingshan Town.

Therefore, they were also the main force among this group of mercenaries.

However, Gu Fei narrowed his eyes and inadvertently looked back at the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, who was walking at the very end, head lowered with an unreadable expression.

That was Young Master Mu Li.

He had ulterior motives.

Xiao Yi Xian introduced Gu Fei to everyone, and when she revealed Gu Fei’s identity as an Alchemist, the mercenaries’ eyes were filled with respect and longing.

[Mu Chuan generated a respectful emotion, Emotion Value +0.1]

[Qin Zheng generated an adoring emotion, Emotion Value +0.1]

Most of these mercenaries, who lived by the sword, had also fantasized about becoming legendary Alchemists who could stir up a storm.

But most, due to lack of talent and poverty, had no choice but to become mercenaries.

Now, with a young Alchemist appearing before them, they naturally yearned for such a path.

However, Gu Fei immediately frowned slightly.

[Mu Li generated a worried emotion, Emotion Value +10]

In an instant, Gu Fei looked up at a tall, burly mercenary.

That mercenary was the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and also their Young Master. Gu Fei remembered his name.

Mu Li.

He was also the Mu Li who, in the original story, wanted to harm Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan for profit.

Gu Fei did not believe that the worry of such a malicious person would be for the safety of a seemingly delicate Alchemist like him.

Calculating the time, at this point in the original story, the person who entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range with Xiao Yi Xian should have been Xiao Yan.

Gu Fei had a sudden thought and realized.

At that time, Xiao Yan was just a person of average strength, so Mu Li was naturally reckless.

But now it was him, an Alchemist... Mu Li wouldn’t be thinking that he was in the way and would disrupt his plans, would he?

Therefore, the original order should have been for the strongest Wolf Head Mercenary Group to lead the way, with Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian walking in the safest middle of the group.

However, Gu Fei had walked at the very front from the beginning, and Mu Li had tacitly allowed this suicidal behavior, even secretly giving a death order to the entire mercenary group not to remind Gu Fei.

But he had accepted Boss Yao’s entrustment to escort Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian, so he still had to put on a show when encountering Demonic Beasts.

What’s more, Mu Li was practically seething with anger at Gu Fei right now.

When the first wave of Demonic Beasts suddenly attacked, Mu Li deliberately slowed down his attack speed, thinking of waiting for the Demonic Beasts’ attacks to land on Gu Fei before making his move.

He didn’t expect that this person, who had pretended to be full of courage and led the way when they first went up the mountain, would, when attacked by Demonic Beasts, pull Xiao Yi Xian back and hide behind him!

The first time Mu Li thought it was an accident, but then several times in a row, Gu Fei would suddenly grab Xiao Yi Xian and dart behind him, with fierce attacks following one after another—

[Mu Li generated an angry emotion, Emotion Value +10]

Watching Mu Li deal with the situation rather awkwardly, Gu Fei’s lips curled up.

Since he wanted to scheme against him, then let’s see if Mu Li could handle the ’gift’ he was sending.

Xiao Yi Xian obediently followed Gu Fei, her eyes alertly watching her surroundings.

She made no comment on Gu Fei’s playful actions.

Along the way, after eliminating several waves of Demonic Beast attacks, the team finally arrived at an area in the Magical Beast Mountain Range where medicinal herbs gathered.

[Xiao Yi Xian generated an excited emotion, Emotion Value +80]

Xiao Yi Xian’s eyes were bright, and she looked very happy.

Gu Fei chuckled. This girl was very engrossed in medicinal herbs; in her eyes, treasures worth a thousand gold probably couldn’t compare to the rich medicinal herb area before them.

Xiao Yi Xian quickly gave everyone a few instructions, telling them to rest on the spot first, and then go collect the medicinal herbs after they were well-rested.

Gu Fei, however, said nothing, leaning against a tree with his arms crossed, silently watching her.

The spot he chose was very clever; this position allowed him to see both the herb-collecting area and the movements of almost all the mercenaries.

This also included Mu Li, who clearly had something in mind after hearing Xiao Yi Xian’s words.

[Mu Li generated a malicious emotion, Emotion Value +10]

Xiao Yi Xian hesitated, glanced at Gu Fei, and then walked over again.

”I’ll go pick out some medicinal herbs that the Wan Yao Pharmacy needs to replenish first. Young Master, you can come down by yourself after you’ve rested enough.”

”The medicinal herbs here are very abundant, and there are many that even I can’t name. I hope there will be some that Young Master needs.”

She looked up at Gu Fei, then waved goodbye with a smiling face.

Gu Fei stood still, watching Xiao Yi Xian leave the camp alone and head into the surrounding dense forest.

She didn’t know that the next moment, Mu Li, who had been pretending to be idle, got up and quietly followed behind her.

Gu Fei frowned, calculating in his mind.

He knew Mu Li had ill intentions and was worried that Xiao Yi Xian wouldn’t be able to defeat him.

So, Gu Fei chose to follow behind Mu Li as well, quietly trailing them.

Gu Fei himself was skilled at concealing his Aura, not to mention that Mu Li’s strength was not even half of his. Throughout the tracking, Mu Li didn’t notice a single clue.

After passing through the dense forest, a cliff appeared in Gu Fei’s line of sight.

Mu Li was hiding in the dark, peeking at Xiao Yi Xian, Gu Fei was behind Mu Li, and Xiao Yi Xian had just laboriously climbed up from below the cliff.

”Mu Li, why are you sneaking around behind Xiao Yi Xian?”

Seeing the malice in Mu Li’s eyes, Gu Fei made the first move.

He attached his battle Qi to his voice and shouted loudly towards Mu Li’s direction not far away.

”What?”

Hearing this, Mu Li panicked and abruptly turned his head.

He hadn’t expected that someone would actually be following him, and he hadn’t noticed at all.

Xiao Yi Xian, who was walking in front, also had a pale face at this moment. She was a little flustered, not expecting that Mu Li, the Young Master of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, would actually be secretly following her.
