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

Chapter 38 Do you want to live the rest of your life in such a pathetic state?

"No, I must be overthinking it..."

After having this thought in mind, the old man shook his head again.

He believed that if someone found him here, they would come straight here.

But now, an incense stick's worth of time has passed, and there is still no movement from him.

Meanwhile, the chaos in the city gradually subsided as the Amethyst Winged Lion King flew away from the city.

Therefore, he dispelled his concerns.

……

"Are you full?"

In the desert city, on the balcony of a restaurant called Liyang Restaurant, Gu Fei looked at Little Fairy Doctor across the street with a smile on his lips.

"Mmm! I'm full!"

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor smiled and nodded, then took out a handkerchief she always carried and wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth.

Although their conversation was extremely mundane, it was precisely this mundane nature that indicated the progression of their relationship.

Now, their relationship is no longer as restrained as when they first met. Everything is relaxed and casual, and this kind of interaction is the most comfortable.

"Then, come with me to buy a map!"

Gu Fei stood up and left the restaurant with Little Fairy Doctor.

Next, Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian walked through several streets in the city and soon arrived at the old-fashioned shop they had seen before.

The shop is named "Gutu". Unlike other shops that are luxurious and ostentatious, it has a subtle and rustic feel to it.

Gu Fei and Xiao Yixian walked into the shop side by side. The shop was not very spacious, but the faint light from the two moonstones made it quite bright. There weren't many people buying maps inside, so it was rather deserted.

Gu Fei glanced around and finally fixed his gaze on an elderly man behind the counter who was carefully making a map with his head down.

The old man was clearly quite old, but although his hair was completely white, his hand holding the black pen was still steady and strong.

"It seems this person is Hai Bodong!"

Gu Fei smiled to himself, but did not go directly to the counter to ask.

At this moment, Gu Fei concealed his aura.

Even Hai Bodong, a former Dou Huang powerhouse, couldn't sense Gu Fei's aura.

Therefore, Gu Fei and Xiao Yixian's arrival did not attract Hai Bodong's attention.

Next, Gu Fei went alone to a rustic wooden shelf in the corner of the shop.

This wooden frame is clearly old and dilapidated, covered with holes from decayed wood.

On top of it, some yellowed maps were randomly piled up. Judging from the tattered marks on the surface of these maps, they seemed to be failed products when they were made.

This was exactly what Gu Fei was looking for. He casually flipped through the yellowed maps, and a faint musty smell wafted out, making him frown slightly.

The next moment, Gu Fei picked up a stack of failed works, his palm trembling slightly.

As he shook the paper, a tattered picture, no bigger than a palm, suddenly fell out from the stack of failed works.

"It was here after all!"

Seeing the fallen fragments of the map, Gu Fei was not surprised; he already knew all along.

Once the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame diagram are collected, they can become a secret means to control the Pure Lotus Demon Flame when it is born.

"What is this? It looks like a treasure map, but it's severely incomplete!"

Little Fairy Doctor glanced at the fragment of the map in Gu Fei's hand, and wondered why Gu Fei would have such a thing.

"Hehe, this is a good thing!"

Gu Fei smiled, offering no further explanation, and instead took the fragment of the map to the counter, asking, "Sir, do you have any other fragments of this map here?"

Gu Fei knew that Hai Bodong had another incomplete map. After obtaining the incomplete map, he studied it for a long time without finding the answer, so he divided his copy into two.

As Gu Fei finished speaking, the old man behind the counter finally stopped drawing the map and abruptly raised his head.

His eyes were somewhat fierce, and there was a horrifying scar on his left cheek, which made Little Fairy Doctor feel a little scared. She subconsciously grabbed Gu Fei's clothes.

"Don't be afraid!"

Gu Fei noticed Little Fairy Doctor's actions and gently patted her head.

Have you ever seen this kind of fragmented map before?

The old man asked in surprise.

Hai Bodong showed surprise, his emotion value increased by 80.

"Yes, I have seen it before. I wonder if you would be so kind as to part with this map and sell it to me?" Gu Fei nodded with a smile.

"Not for sale!"

The old man shook his head, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Sir, name your price, as long as you're willing to sell!"

Despite being rejected by Hai Bodong, Gu Fei did not give up.

He was determined to obtain this fragment of the Demon Flame Map.

"Young man, don't even think about taking my broken map. I don't care about money, and don't even try to rob me. That won't do you any good!"

The old man behind the counter waved his hand and said calmly, seemingly unafraid that Gu Fei would simply take the fragment of the demonic fire map and run away.

"Brother Gu Fei! Since the old gentleman is determined not to sell, let's go!"

The Little Fairy Doctor said very simply that she did not want Gu Fei to have a conflict with the old man.

In addition, she believed that Gu Fei would not do something like forcibly robbing someone.

"Don't worry, he'll choose to sell..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fei smiled at Little Fairy Doctor, then turned to the old man: "You agree, right? A former Dou Huang powerhouse!"

"Who exactly are you?"

As Gu Fei finished speaking, a fierce glint appeared in the old man's eyes behind the counter, and a powerful aura spread out.

Hai Bodong is shocked and suspicious, his emotion value increases by 80.

"What's going on?"

This sudden turn of events surprised Little Fairy Doctor, but now that she understood some of Gu Fei's strength, she did not panic.

Meanwhile, Gu Fei emitted a warm aura to protect Little Fairy Doctor, preventing her from being affected by the icy, bone-chilling aura.

"Young man, I didn't expect you to have some skills."

Seeing that Gu Fei was completely unharmed by his aura, the white-haired old man couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

"So, sir, what is your choice now?" Gu Fei nodded slightly, neither confirming nor denying, and smiled.

"I've said I won't sell it to anyone. If you intend to take it by force, then don't blame me for bullying the weak..."

He uttered a soft sound, and the old man's white hair moved on its own without any wind.

A chilling fighting aura swirled around him.

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor stood obediently to the side without saying a word.

"If I told you I could break the seal within you, wouldn't you consider it?"

"Do you really want to spend your whole life stuck in this remote border town, just an ordinary map shop owner?"
