Chapter 17 - Chapter 17, None of Your Business

"not good!"

The moment the rope broke, the first thought that came to Little Fairy Doctor's mind was that she had bought a substandard rope.

Then came the thought that I might die.

The wind howled in her ears as she plummeted downwards; she closed her eyes in fear.

Suddenly, a warm and strong chest caught her steadily.

Little Fairy Doctor opened her eyes in surprise, and what came into view was a gentle, refined, and handsome face.

With just one glance, she felt as if she had lost her senses, her eyes filled with nothing but him.

Seeing the girl looking somewhat lost in thought, Xu Qi broke her reverie and said, "This is a cliff, how dare you come here alone?"

Little Fairy Doctor finally came to her senses, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

At this moment, her soft, delicate body was held in Xu Qi's arms, her nose filled with the scent of a man, making one's heart flutter.

But Xu Qi doesn't have such good intentions now.

He was now barely able to catch Little Fairy Doctor by only managing to grab a rock with one hand and step on two protruding rocks.

But the weight of two people can't be maintained for long.

"You're a mercenary in the guard team, right?"

Little Fairy Doctor had some impression of him.

Although the two did not have close contact when they were in the herb-gathering team.

Even from a distance, Little Fairy Doctor had noticed Xu Qi.

With Xu Qi's looks, she's always eye-catching no matter where she is; it's hard not to notice her.

"Let's go up first, hold me tight." Xu Qi said in a deep voice, supporting Xiao Yixian's delicate buttocks with one hand and lifting her up slightly.

The little fairy doctor blushed immediately when her sensitive areas were suddenly touched so intimately by a member of the opposite sex.

"you..."

Before she could even speak, Xu Qi had already used the stone he was holding and the stone under his feet to jump up, carrying Little Fairy Doctor with him as they quickly leaped up the cliff.

"ah--!"

Startled, Little Fairy Doctor quickly wrapped her arms tightly around Xu Qi's neck with her jade-like hands, pressing her body against him as if afraid she would fall.

She closed her eyes, unable to look.

The wind howled around me, a warm chest pressed against my chest, a strong heartbeat filled my ears, and the alluring scent of a man lingered in my nostrils.

Little Fairy Doctor felt as if she were drunk, her head was a little dizzy.

She hadn't even realized what was happening until Xu Qi jumped up from the cliff step by step.

Xu Qi didn't remind her either.

Feeling the girl's soft body in front of him was very comfortable.

It wasn't until quite a while later that Little Fairy Doctor finally felt that the surroundings had calmed down. She quickly opened her eyes and saw the familiar scene around her.

They've already come up.

It wasn't that Xu Qi didn't put her down, but rather that she clung to Xu Qi and wouldn't get down.

"We're up now, you can come down," Xu Qi kindly reminded him.

Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks flushed red instantly, like ripe tomatoes in a field, tempting and delicious.

She quickly let go of him, stepped aside, turned her face slightly away, and whispered, "Thank you..."

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow: "You're welcome. After all, I also received a commission to protect you."

really...

"You're a mercenary in the guard team, right? I think your name is..."

"Xu Qi".

"Oh right, Xu Qi!"

Actually, it had no impact on the name at all.

"Although you received a commission, I still want to thank you." Little Fairy Doctor gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her bright and lively eyes gazing at the man before her.

She had to admit that she had never seen such a handsome man.

Moreover, Xu Qi gives off a feeling that's not just about being handsome, but also about an invisible affability and friendliness, as warm as sunshine, making people feel very comfortable and not at all averse to him.

"It's so dangerous down there, how could a weak woman like you with no cultivation risk going down there by yourself? Is it because there's treasure down there?" Xu Qi glanced down at the cliff and asked knowingly.

Her purpose was exposed, and Little Fairy Doctor was so frightened that she quickly shook her head: "No, nothing like that."

Her act was so convincing that Xu Qi found it quite amusing. He said, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. I have no interest in the treasure down there. I just want to say that you, a weak woman, shouldn't take such a big risk going down. No matter how good the treasure is, it's not worth your own life."

His sincerity and concern made Little Fairy Doctor feel a little embarrassed.

Xu Qi cared so much about her, but she only wanted to keep it from him.

"Thank you... Actually, there is indeed a cave down there, but I don't know if there's any treasure inside." Little Fairy Doctor was a little embarrassed.

"Now that you know, could you please take me down there... If there really is something inside the cave, we can split it equally."

She didn't want to tell anyone about it.

Unfortunately, Xu Qi bumped into him.

Most importantly, the life-or-death moment she had just experienced had truly terrified her.

If Xu Qi hadn't arrived in time, she would probably have already fallen into the abyss and been smashed to pieces.

Anyway, Little Fairy Doctor doesn't dare to go down alone anymore, and the rope has broken.

"You're thinking like this?" Xu Qi showed absolutely no interest, his only concern being Little Fairy Doctor.

"There's probably a cave left behind by some master from a past life down there. There might be a lot of good stuff inside. Aren't you tempted?" Little Fairy Doctor quickly tempted.

She was the one who discovered the cave, but now it's like she's the one begging Xu Qi...

"I am quite tempted... Okay, let's go down now."

As he spoke, Xu Qi naturally reached out and put his arm around Little Fairy Doctor's slender waist, and was about to get down.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

The sensation at her waist startled Little Fairy Doctor, who quickly retreated, looking at Xu Qi like a wary kitten.

"Not now. We've been out for too long and need to go back, otherwise others will come looking for us. We can come back tonight."

"Fine, you decide."

The two reached an agreement and returned to the herb-gathering team together.

When they returned to the herb-gathering team, they ran into the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

"Little Fairy Doctor, where have you been? I couldn't find you anywhere and thought something had happened to you." Mu Li greeted him with a big smile.

Little Fairy Doctor didn't give him a friendly look: "It's nothing, just going out for a walk."

"This is the Monster Mountain Range, full of dangers. If you want to go out for a walk, I can accompany you." Mu Li's tone was somewhat persistent.

"No need, I have other guards, I'm very safe."

It was only after Little Fairy Doctor's words that Mu Li noticed Xu Qi standing to the side.

A barely perceptible glint of malice flashed in his eyes as he asked, "Oh? I remember this young man is also from the guard team, isn't he? What's your name?"

Xu Qi glanced at him indifferently.

Little Fairy Doctor couldn't see that fleeting glimpse of malice, but he did.

People like that probably already harbor resentment towards Xu Qi.

So, Xu Qi walked past Mu Li calmly, leaving only one sentence behind.

"None of your business."
