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

Chapter 22: Xun'er Returns to Wu Tan City!



Wu Tan City, Xiao Clan.

By this time, quite some time had passed since Xiao Yan left for his training journey.

Before he left, with Yao Lao's help, he left behind a large amount of pills for the Xiao Clan, allowing them to dominate the largest marketplace in the city.

For the Xiao Clan members, it was like rain after a long drought. Having been oppressed for so long, they were eager to become stronger.

With the large supply of pills Xiao Yan provided, the Xiao Clan quickly rose to become the most powerful family in Wu Tan City.

Today, news spread rapidly that Xun'er, who had left the family a year ago, had returned.

Xun'er rushed back to the Xiao Clan.

"Uncle Xiao!"

Upon seeing Xiao Zhan, she respectfully greeted Xiao Yan's father, just as she always had. After Xiao Zhan smiled and indicated that she needn't be so formal, Xun'er quickly lifted her head and asked eagerly, "Uncle Xiao, where is Brother Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Zhan was silent for a moment before saying, "Yan'er has been away for training for some time now."

Without further conversation, Xun'er quickly thanked Xiao Zhan and was ready to leave to search for Xiao Yan.

This time, Xun'er had secretly slipped away from the Gu Clan, accompanied not only by Ling Ying, an eight-star Dou Emperor, but also by a Dou Ancestor expert from the Gu Clan who was secretly following her.

After all, Xun'er was the apple of Gu Yuan's eye. As the clan leader, how could he not notice any movement within the Gu Realm?

The moment Xun'er planned to sneak away, he was already aware.

His daughter was growing up, and he couldn't control her forever. As a bird's wings grow stronger, it needs the sky to fly.

Gu Yuan sighed silently and chose to let her go, but there was no way he wouldn't send someone to ensure Xun'er's safety.

Thus, Ling Ying and another Dou Ancestor expert were sent to accompany Xun'er.

Moreover, if Xun'er ever faced a life-threatening situation, she only needed a second to crush the spatial jade slip she carried, summoning Gu Yuan from the Gu Realm.

Gu Yuan had gone to great lengths for this daughter, hoping that she would grow up safely.

He silently watched Xun'er's departing figure, letting out a long sigh.

Meanwhile, after some investigation, Xun'er quickly learned of Xiao Yan's whereabouts.

After some thought, she decided to head towards the Magical Beast Mountain Range with Ling Ying to find Xiao Yan.

...

In the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

At this moment, Gu Fei and Little Fairy Doctor had gathered quite a number of medicinal herbs.

Although Gu Fei's storage ring still had plenty of space, there were no more herbs here that he needed.

"Brother Gu Fei, we..."

Before Little Fairy Doctor could finish her sentence, Gu Fei nodded.

She then informed the mercenaries that they were ready to descend the mountain. However, her beautiful eyes were filled with worry, and her brows were furrowed.

Gu Fei, with the help of the system, noticed Little Fairy Doctor's state but said nothing. Distracted, Little Fairy Doctor didn't even notice when Gu Fei stopped in front of her, bumping straight into his solid back, finally snapping back to reality.

Her brows remained furrowed, and her whole demeanor seemed gloomy.

Gu Fei stared at her for a moment before shaking his head.

The reason for Little Fairy Doctor's worry was that she had already flipped through the 'Rainbow Poison Book' she had obtained in the cave at the bottom of the cliff during a break in their herb gathering.

The moment she saw the words 'Woeful Poison Body' at the beginning of one of the pages, her heart sank. A vague feeling told her that if she continued reading, she would regret it.

But Little Fairy Doctor bit her lip and kept reading.

After finishing the entire 'Rainbow Poison Book', she learned that she possessed the Woeful Poison Body.

Little Fairy Doctor could tell that her Woeful Poison Body hadn't yet been unsealed, so she tried hard to stop herself from overthinking.

Right now, the more pressing matter was the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

This time, Gu Fei had killed their deputy leader, Mu Li. Although he left no witnesses and those mercenaries who survived wouldn't dare return to report the incident, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group might still suspect her since Gu Fei was new to the area and logically shouldn't have had any prior conflicts with Mu Li.

Most of the remaining mercenaries were weaker than Mu Li and couldn't have killed him, while the few stronger ones wouldn't dare provoke the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Thus, if they thought carefully, they might suspect Little Fairy Doctor.

If she returned to Qingshan Town, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group might not let her go.

Although Gu Fei was strong... he probably wouldn't stay in a small place like Qingshan Town

for long.

Little Fairy Doctor's clear purple eyes were filled with worry.

Gu Fei sighed. He could clearly see the concern in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes.

He had hoped she would come to terms with it on her own, but it seemed impossible since her mind was prone to overthinking.

Gu Fei stepped forward and gently asked, "Little Fairy Doctor, are you worried about returning to Qingshan Town and facing the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's revenge?"

His tone was warm as he fixed his gaze on Little Fairy Doctor. She hesitated for a moment.

"Yes, sir, you may not know, but the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is the most powerful in Qingshan Town. Now that their deputy leader is dead, they won't let it go. Besides, Mu Li was

the leader's son."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded, openly admitting her worry.

She was deeply concerned. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group was ruthless, and those who crossed them rarely fared well.

Now that their deputy leader had mysteriously died, the revenge would be even more

terrifying.

Gu Fei smiled calmly and said, "You don't need to worry. Rest assured, I will take care of

everything."

"Next, I will appear to leave, but I'll actually stay in Qingshan Town for a few days. If anyone

dares to harm you, I'll deal with them."

Gu Fei paused.

"All you need to do is be the Little Fairy Doctor. Leave everything else to me."

Little Fairy Doctor stared at Gu Fei in a daze. His confident tone made her feel warm surge of

security.

Gu Fei looked down at the purple-haired, purple-eyed girl. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, as if she was about to cry.

In Qingshan Town, everyone respected Little Fairy Doctor, but no one had ever told her, "All

you need to do is be the Little Fairy Doctor. Leave everything else to me."

Little Fairy Doctor's throat tightened, her long-forgotten heartbeat quickening.

She said nothing more, her expression much calmer, as she followed Gu Fei down the

mountain.
