The Little Fairy Doctor Throws a Tantrum

Of course, since Brother Gu Fengchen had not been in this world for long, strange thoughts occasionally still crossed his mind.

For example, he would sometimes have nightmares, waking up to realize he had not written anything the day before, then cry out in anguish that he had lost his perfect attendance bonus.

Then he would start imagining whether readers would comment things like, "The author has gone into the palace," or "Where's the update?" and so on.

But once Brother Gu Fengchen realized he had already transmigrated, he continued imagining himself righteously replying in the comment section in his head, "An update? Sorry, I'm off to save the world!"

Of course, dreams like these, almost like withdrawal symptoms, were gradually becoming less frequent. Brother Gu Fengchen was slowly, completely integrating into this world.

Besides cultivating diligently during this time, Brother Gu Fengchen had also set aside time to specifically practice using his Flying Dou Skill.

Brother Gu Fengchen had originally thought flying would be exhilarating, but during flight, he unexpectedly awakened an entirely new trait: acrophobia.

Yes, he discovered that he was somewhat afraid of heights.

When Brother Gu Fengchen first flew into the sky, he focused on controlling the circulation of his Dou Qi and did not notice it. But when he swayed unsteadily and looked down, the view of the mountains below reduced to mere specks made cold sweat break out across his back.

So during this period, rather than practicing his Flying Dou Skill, Brother Gu Fengchen was practicing how to overcome his fear of heights.

Wutan City, Xiao Clan

Atop a mountain peak, Gu Xun'er stood in a long purple dress. Her flowing black hair danced in the wind, making her seem like a celestial maiden.

At this time every day, she came to this mountaintop and looked up at the stars in the sky.

She was lonely in the Xiao Clan, but whenever she thought of that young man, the loneliness in her heart vanished without a trace.

Whenever Gu Xun'er looked up at the starry sky, she remembered the young man who had watched the stars with her. She wondered whether Brother Gu Fengchen was also looking up at the glittering stars, just as she was.

Ling Ying, hidden in the shadows, silently watched the scene. However, he was no longer worried about his young lady. Instead, he had discovered that his Dou Qi had recently been draining away at an imperceptible pace. Although it was slow, he was a Dou Emperor Expert, so he naturally noticed it.

He did not know why it was happening. The loss was simply so gradual that compared to his cultivation speed, it merely slowed his cultivation somewhat.

Time passed like water, and one day a month later...

Early in the morning, Brother Gu Fengchen climbed out of bed.

He had not cultivated the night before, instead enjoying a comfortable night's sleep.

However, when he opened his eyes, he suddenly understood one of Schopenhauer's famous sayings.

Life was truly like a pendulum, swinging between pain and boredom.

Lying in bed that morning, he truly felt boundless pain and boredom.

Although he did not need that much sleep, if one could lie in bed all day, who would be willing to get up?

Besides, even if one got up, one could not create much value anyway. So staying in bed was not really a waste of time.

The Great Demon King Quilt was far too powerful, firmly sealing him in place.

The satisfaction of staying in bed was simply irresistible.

After lazing in bed for an hour, Brother Gu Fengchen finally got up.

And it was not because Brother Gu Fengchen had wanted to get up voluntarily, but because Xiao Yi Xian had come to wake him.

"Something happened west of Qingshan Town. Um, several villagers would like to ask you to help deal with it." Xiao Yi Xian seemed somewhat apologetic for disturbing Brother Gu Fengchen's rest.

"Hm? Something happened, and Myriad Medicine Pavilion is supposed to handle it?"

"No. Theoretically, these matters should be handled by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. They get paid to do the job, after all. But after several of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's core members died, they basically scattered. And most of those remaining only have the strength of Dou Practitioners, so they seem unable to resolve the trouble over there." Xiao Yi Xian explained.

Brother Gu Fengchen scratched his head. It seemed his arrival really had disrupted the local ecosystem.

In this era, the strong were revered.

Brother Gu Fengchen had actually planned to treat Myriad Medicine Pavilion as his beginner village and advance to Da Dou Shi, or even Dou Ling, over the next two years.

So he also hoped to build good relations with the local people. Although Yaoye's presence had made the villagers and mercenaries quite courteous toward him, if he truly wanted to establish his authority, he would still have to rely on himself.

"Sister Xiao Yi Xian, why does your complexion look so bad today? Are you still angry?" Brother Gu Fengchen raised his brows.

This girl was simple-minded. Xiao Yi Xian had clearly seen Yaoye flirting with Brother Gu Fengchen before, and she was not good at hiding her feelings.

Brother Gu Fengchen thus felt like teasing Xiao Yi Xian a little.

"Why are you ignoring me, Sister Xiao Yi Xian?" Seeing Xiao Yi Xian deliberately ignore him, Brother Gu Fengchen continued asking with a grin.

"If you keep talking, I'll tie you up and throw you to the Snake People Tribe. The snakewomen really like little boys like you."

"Oh, oh, oh, there's such a wonderful thing in this world?" The moment Brother Gu Fengchen heard that, he immediately revealed a shameless grin.

"Shameless!" Xiao Yi Xian spat, then stopped paying him any attention and continued tending to her medicinal herb garden.

White mist gathered upon jade-green leaves, condensing into pearl-like morning dew.

Xiao Yi Xian took an ancient, simple incense burner from somewhere, tossed a piece of incense into it, and lit it with a match. Flames immediately rose within the burner.

Fragrant smoke slowly curled upward, as though a great fire had broken out. Yet the smoke did not drift away, merely quietly shrouding the medicinal herb garden.

Generally speaking, when cultivating these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, impurities were most taboo.

Thus, Xiao Yi Xian used burning incense to dispel these unnecessary things.

At the entrance of Myriad Medicine Pavilion, a villager was waiting while leading a horse.

Many of the villagers living west of Qingshan Town had never actually met Brother Gu Fengchen. This villager had come partly to fetch help, and partly to see what the young man who had recently been spoken of in such exaggerated terms truly looked like.

Brother Gu Fengchen pushed open the door. What entered the villager's sight was a young man in a white training outfit, young and handsome in appearance, with a straight saber laid horizontally behind his waist, its blade concealed within a wooden case.

This villager was himself a One-Star Dou Practitioner, yet even so, with his eyesight, he did not dare meet the young man's gaze at all.

Those eyes were like a venomous snake lurking in the forest. Looking into them for too long sent chills down one's spine.

"Let's go."

Brother Gu Fengchen grinned and mounted his horse first.

Grass grew lush and orioles flew as mist coiled through the mountains and forests.

After days of heavy rain, the weather had finally cleared. The old official road, long left in disrepair, was now even more muddy and difficult to traverse.

"Tell me, what kind of monster is it exactly?"

Generally speaking, the Magic Beasts in the Magic Beast Mountain Range did not leave the mountains. In any case, he did not really care. If it was too powerful, he would just run.

If it was trash, he would wipe them all out.

That was Brother Gu Fengchen's way.

"It's a group of Tiger Hounds. Who knows what madness has seized them lately, but they've been frequently attacking nearby residents! Their leader is a second-tier Tiger Hound. The strongest person in our village is only a Seven-Star Dou Practitioner, and we really have no way to deal with that Tiger Hound."
