Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 17 Joining Hands to Enter the Monster Mountain Range! Little Fairy Doctor's Panic!

The next morning.

Early in the morning, Wan Yao Zhai recruited mercenaries in Qingshan Town to go up the mountain together.

Wanyaozhai has never been stingy with its treatment of patients in this regard.

They promised many good things, including healing the mercenaries.

As a result, many mercenaries came to sign up.

After hesitating for a moment, Boss Yao took a step back and looked at Gu Fei.

"Why don't you choose the mercenaries?"

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

Boss Yao had no choice but to select people according to the usual rules, while cautiously watching Gu Fei's expression as he made the selection.

The terrifying aura of Gu Fei yesterday had left a deep impression on him.

Upon recalling yesterday, Boss Yao shuddered.

"Are you satisfied with these mercenaries?"

[Boss Yao experiences feelings of fear; his emotional value increases by 10.]

Gu Fei gave a nonchalant reply, and that concluded the matter of recruiting mercenaries.

There were many things to do at Wanyaozhai during the day, so Boss Yao didn't go to see them off.

Little Fairy Doctor followed behind Gu Fei, followed by a large group of mercenaries.

Just like in the original story, among the mercenaries who went to the Monster Mountain Range with Gu Fei, there was the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Moreover, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is the strongest among the three major mercenary groups in the entire Green Mountain Town.

Therefore, they are also the main force in this group of mercenaries.

However, Gu Fei narrowed his eyes and glanced back casually at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group leader, who was walking at the back with his head down and an inscrutable expression.

That's Young Commander Mu Li.

He has ulterior motives.

As Little Fairy Doctor introduced Gu Fei to everyone, when she revealed Gu Fei's identity as an alchemist, the group of mercenaries looked at him with respect and longing.

[Mu Chuan feels respect, emotion value increases by 0.1]

Most of these mercenaries, who live on the edge of death, have fantasized about being legendary alchemists who could stir up a storm in their own right.

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

Before them stood a young alchemist, whom they naturally longed to be.

However, Gu Fei immediately frowned slightly.

[Muli feels worried, emotion value increases by 10]

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

The mercenary was the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and also their young leader; Gu Fei remembered his name.

Muli.

He is also Mu Li, who in the original work wanted to plot against Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan for his own benefit.

Gu Fei couldn't believe that such a vicious person would be worried about the safety of a weak alchemist like him.

Based on the timeline, at this point in the original story, the person who entered the Monster Mountain Range with Little Fairy Doctor should be Xiao Yan.

Gu Fei thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized.

Back then, Xiao Yan was just an ordinary person, so Mu Li was naturally unrestrained.

But now it's his turn, the alchemist...

Could it be that Muli finds him a nuisance and that he's delaying his plans?

Therefore, the original plan was for the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, which was the strongest, to lead the way, while Gu Fei and Little Fairy Doctor walked in the safest middle of the group.

However, Gu Fei took the lead from the very beginning, and Mu Li tacitly approved of this suicidal act, even secretly giving the entire mercenary group a strict order not to remind Gu Fei.

However, entrusted by Boss Yao, he accepted the mission of escorting Gu Fei and Little Fairy Doctor, and he still had to put on a show when they encountered magical beasts.

What's more, Mu Li is absolutely furious with Gu Fei right now.

When the first wave of monsters suddenly attacked, Mu Li deliberately slowed down his attack speed, thinking that he would wait until the monsters' attacks landed on Gu Fei before making his move.

Unexpectedly, when this person first went up the mountain, he pretended to be full of courage and took the lead. But when the monster attacked, he shrank back and hid behind him with Little Fairy Doctor!

At first, Mu Li thought it was an accident, but several times afterward, Gu Fei would suddenly grab Little Fairy Doctor and dart behind him, launching fierce attacks one after another—

[Muli experiences anger; his emotion value increases by 10.]

Seeing Mu Li's rather disheveled appearance, Gu Fei's lips curled up slightly.

Since he wants to scheme against him, let's see if Muli can withstand the gifts he offers.

Little Fairy Doctor obediently followed Gu Fei, her eyes alertly scanning their surroundings.

She didn't comment on Gu Fei's playful behavior.

Along the way, after eliminating several waves of monster attacks, the team finally arrived at a place where medicinal herbs were gathered in the Monster Mountain Range.

[Little Fairy Doctor is excited, her emotion value increases by 80]

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes were bright, and she looked very happy.

Gu Fei laughed out loud. This girl was extremely obsessed with medicinal herbs. In her eyes, even priceless treasures couldn't compare to the abundance of medicinal herbs in front of her.

Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly gave everyone a few instructions, telling them to rest on the spot first, and then go to collect medicinal herbs after they had rested.

Gu Fei didn't say anything, but leaned against the tree with his arms crossed, quietly watching her.

He chose a clever spot; from this location, he could see the area where herbs were being gathered and also have a clear view of the movements of almost all the mercenaries.

This also includes Mu Li, who clearly had designs on the subject after hearing Little Fairy Doctor's words.

[Muli develops malicious emotions; emotion value increases by 10]

Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment, glanced at Gu Fei, and then walked over.

"I'll go and see what medicinal herbs the pharmacy needs to replenish. Young master, you can come down by yourself after you've rested enough."

"The medicinal herbs here are plentiful, including many that I don't even know the names of. I hope you may find something you need."

She glanced up at Gu Fei, then waved goodbye with a smile in her eyes.

Gu Fei stood there, watching Little Fairy Doctor leave the tent alone and head towards the surrounding dense forest.

Unbeknownst to her, the next moment, Mu Li, who had been pretending to be doing nothing, got up and quietly followed behind her.

Gu Fei frowned, pondering for a moment.

He knew Mu Li harbored ill intentions, and he was also worried that Little Fairy Doctor wouldn't be able to defeat him.

So Gu Fei chose to follow Mu Li quietly.

Gu Fei was an expert at concealing his presence, not to mention that Mu Li's strength was far inferior to his. Throughout the entire journey, Mu Li managed to avoid discovering any clues.

After passing through the dense forest, a precipice came into Gu Fei's view.

Mu Li was hiding in the shadows, spying on Xiao Yi Xian. Gu Fei was behind Mu Li, while Xiao Yi Xian had just climbed up the cliff with great difficulty.

"Mu Li, what are you doing, sneaking around behind Little Fairy Doctor?"

Seeing the malice in Mu Li's eyes, Gu Fei took the initiative.

He channeled his fighting spirit into his voice and shouted loudly in the direction of Muli, who was not far away.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Li was startled and turned around abruptly.

He never expected that someone would be following him without his knowledge.

Little Fairy Doctor, who was walking at the front, also had a pale face. She was a little flustered, not expecting that Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, would secretly follow her.
