After crossing the cliff, Qin Yu intended to put Little Fairy Doctor down, but the girl simply climbed onto his back.

"Ugh... I'm tired, carry me."

"...You haven't walked that far on your way here, have you?"

Little Fairy Doctor remained silent in the face of Qin Yu's teasing, simply refusing to come down.

"By the way, do you... use water or wood elemental aura? Why can you heal people?"

As they were walking, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly remembered something and asked.

Judging from Qin Yu's actions during the day and the various methods he just displayed, he doesn't seem like someone who can heal people at all.

"I don't know how to heal, but I have a special ability to communicate with the power of the earth. The energy used to heal your hand is the wood-elemental energy from the earth's deep veins."

Little Fairy Doctor blinked, rested her chin on his shoulder, and carefully digested those words.

Being able to draw power directly from the earth, that's quite an interesting physique, unlike mine...

Little Fairy Doctor shook off those thoughts and continued to ask:

"Now that the treasure has been found, where do you plan to go next?"

"Cross the Monster Mountain Range, visit other cities in the Gama Empire, then go to the capital, and finally visit the Tagor Desert."

As Little Fairy Doctor listened, the names she had only seen on the map involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

She has lived in Qingshan Town for so many years, and the farthest place she has ever been is the depths of the Monster Mountain Range.

Those names were like legends to her.

"very nice."

Little Fairy Doctor murmured softly, her eyes gazing into the distance, filled with longing.

"Do you also want to go out and see the world?"

Qin Yu suddenly turned his head to the side. Little Fairy Doctor pondered for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly.

"Qingshan Town is pretty good. The outside world is full of beautiful scenery, but also full of dangers."

"What can a lowly doctor like me do outside of Qingshan Town? I should just stay here and treat patients and collect herbs."

Although she spoke fluently, it sounded like she was reciting lines stiffly from beginning to end, and her gaze kept wandering elsewhere, avoiding eye contact with Qin Yu.

She always felt that she had no secrets from Qin Yu.

When those eyes looked over, it was as if they could see right into her heart, bringing up those thoughts that she herself was unwilling to face.

This feeling made her uneasy, yet she couldn't help but want to get closer.

A person who has kept a secret for so many years is constantly worried that their secret will be discovered, and then they will be regarded as a heretic, and even the last bit of the right to a normal life will be taken away from them.

Although Qin Yu was very different, Little Fairy Doctor really dared not gamble, after all, no one could accept such a thing, right?

"Don't be too absolute. Ideas always change over time. Maybe one day in the future, you'll suddenly change your mind."

Again.

Why does this guy's words always hit the nail on the head so accurately?

Could it be that there really are people in this world you are destined to meet?

Little Fairy Doctor didn't reply. She simply closed her eyes tightly, forcibly dispelling the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and gradually relaxed.

Perhaps due to mental exhaustion, Little Fairy Doctor actually fell asleep on Qin Yu's back.

"This girl... I'm exhausted just looking at her."

Qin Yu slowed his pace, looking at Little Fairy Doctor's peaceful sleeping face, and couldn't help but sigh softly. What a good girl, to be ruined like this by that lousy constitution.

As night gradually faded, the outline of Qingshan Town slowly appeared on the horizon.

Before dawn, lights were already twinkling in the town.

"Hey, we're here."

Qin Yu shook her twice, and Little Fairy Doctor woke up from her sleep.

"I...I'm..."

Upon seeing Qingshan Town, Little Fairy Doctor was somewhat dazed, and then instantly realized what she had done, and quickly got off Qin Yu.

"Tsk, this outfit is no good."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at the small part of Qin Yu's clothes on his shoulder that was stained with her saliva, and couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, squat down and curl up into a ball.

She swore that she would rather Qin Yu know her secret than do something like this!

"Okay, just kidding."

Qin Yu gently patted Little Fairy Doctor's shoulder and helped her up.

"call..."

Little Fairy Doctor patted her flushed cheeks, let out a long breath, and then looked up at Qin Yu.

But when she looked up, her gaze automatically locked onto the piece of clothing, making her feel both helpless and amused.

"Um... how about I buy you a new one?"

In the end, both Little Fairy Doctor and Qin Yu couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing like two lunatics.

"It's almost dawn."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded, tidied her hair which had been ruffled by the night wind, and tightened the straps of her medicine pouch again.

Her movements were much slower than usual, as if she wanted to linger a little longer by taking advantage of these trivial actions.

"Then I'll go back."

She looked up at Qin Yu, revealing the same smile as always.

"Be careful on your journey from here on out. The depths of the Monster Mountain Range are not like the outer areas. Even though you are strong, don't be too careless."

"Um."

Little Fairy Doctor turned around and walked towards the direction of Wanyaozhai.

After walking a few steps, she stopped and looked back. Qin Yu was still standing by the stone tablet, casually waving at her.

She withdrew her gaze and quickened her pace, but deep inside, a feeling was quietly flowing, making her unable to resist turning back every three steps.

What reassured her was that Qin Yu was always there.

The back door of Wan Yao Zhai was unlocked, just like when she slipped out.

Little Fairy Doctor gently pushed open the door, slipped inside, and silently closed it again.

The courtyard was quiet, with only the night breeze blowing through the herb garden, carrying a faint fragrance of herbs.

She walked across the courtyard, her steps very light.

"Where did you go all night?"

Little Fairy Doctor paused, and from the shadows of the corridor, Mr. Yao, carrying a teapot, strolled out unhurriedly.

The person in charge of Wanyaozhai, an old pharmacist in his fifties, was also her nominal half-master.

The Little Fairy Doctor remained calm and answered naturally:

"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk."

Mr. Yao glanced at her, didn't ask any further questions, and turned to walk towards his room.

"Get some rest, you still have patients to see during the day."

"understood."

Little Fairy Doctor responded and quickly returned to her room, locked the door, and leaned against it.

"Thank you..."

Little Fairy Doctor looked down at her right hand, recalling the faint smile on Qin Yu's lips when he held her hand, and gently clenched her right hand, pressing it against her chest.

I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to see him again. If I do, what will he be like then?

Qin Yu was absolutely right. Although they had only known each other for a day, he would probably never forget him...

That bastard, I'm afraid he'll get smug if I say anything else.

...

"Wuhu! Let's take off!"
