Chapter 63: Xun Er: Gu Fei, you liar, didn't you say you had let it go?

"Pfft!"

As Gu Fei extended his palm, a wisp of eerie flame ignited without wind in his palm, and the temperature inside the room began to rise sharply.

Gu Fei flipped his palm, and that cluster of flame drilled straight into Nalan Jie's body, covering a section of blackened bone.

"Ah..."

On the bed, Nalan Jie, who had his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them. A hoarse, agonizing roar erupted from his mouth, and a fierce aura, like a final flash of vitality, awakened.

"Old Master..."

Looking at the old man who had suddenly opened his eyes and roared, Nalan Yanran and Nalan Su hurriedly called out.

"I am dispelling the poison for you, there is no need to fear."

Glancing at the sweat-drenched Nalan Jie, Gu Fei said indifferently.

Nalan Jie felt the burning Exotic Fire inside his body, which was continuously incinerating the bone-adhering branding poison until it was completely gone.

But the Exotic Fire was truly too terrifying; after a long period of burning, his body could not withstand a one-time treatment, and his complexion grew increasingly pale.

"Many thanks, Master. Please exert your full strength, this old man can hold on..."

Nalan Jie understood and gritted his teeth in response. Although his willpower was good, this kind of excruciating pain was not something willpower could endure; it could easily cause him to pass out from the pain.

Seeing this, Gu Fei took a Grade Five Medicinal Pill directly from his Storage Ring; this pill could restore vitality.

After Nalan Jie consumed it, his senses were refreshed, and the injuries within his body recovered rapidly. He glanced back at Gu Fei with considerable shock.

【Nalan Jie feels shock and gratitude, Emotion Value +30】

"Many thanks, Master, for the medicinal pill!" Nalan Jie said gratefully.

Next, Gu Fei manipulated the Exotic Fire, relying on his outstanding soul control to patiently burn those blackened bones eroded by the poison back to a jade-white appearance.

"It is done. There is no more branding poison in your body."

Nalan Jie let out a long, turbid breath. Sure enough, the black mist no longer lingered within; his skin was ruddy, and his eyes were bright.

【Nalan Jie feels gratitude, Emotion Value +30】

"Master Gu Fei, a great kindness that words cannot express!"

With a voice like a booming bell, Nalan Jie rolled off the bed and immediately prepared to perform a grand salute to Gu Fei.

Nalan Yanran's eyes had long since turned red. Seeing her grandfather recover his health, she covered her lips and sobbed with excitement.

【Nalan Yanran feels gratitude, Emotion Value +80】

【Nalan Su feels gratitude, Emotion Value +30】

"No need!"

Gu Fei waved his hand, and a gentle force of Dou Qi lifted Nalan Jie's body as he was about to kneel.

"Master Gu Fei, if you do not mind, could you rest at my mansion for a few days? I must properly entertain you!"

Nalan Jie spoke directly, calling Gu Fei "brother," his words extremely respectful and polite.

"Since the matter here is settled, I will be leaving now."

Gu Fei refused Nalan Jie's invitation without hesitation. He knew Nalan Jie's way of doing things well; even if he was grateful now, if Gu Fei were to run into trouble later, he would quickly distance himself.

"Eh? So soon?"

"If Master Gu Fei needs help in the future, feel free to come find me."

Nalan Jie was stunned and wanted to persuade him to stay, but seeing Gu Fei unmoved, he had to swallow his words of persuasion and nodded with a smile.

To the side, Nalan Yanran had left at some point, and now she returned to the room.

She walked in holding a plant contained in a jade flowerpot.

After this plant appeared, the entire room was immediately filled with a faint, exotic fragrance that calmed the mind.

Smelling the exotic fragrance, Gu Fei's gaze rested on the plant in her hands. The plant was entirely cyan, looking as if it had been carved from a piece of fine green jade.

At the top of the plant, a flower with seven colors was slowly blooming.

And as the flower unfolded, Gu Fei discovered with some surprise that those seven colors were actually gradually shifting, looking extremely gorgeous! "Young Master Gu Fei, it was because of this thing that my grandfather fought that Magical Beast and ended up poisoned. This thing can restore soul power. Since you are an Alchemist, I presume you might have use for it. I hope you will not find it lacking!"

Nalan Yanran held a very humble posture, handing the medicinal herb to Gu Fei with both hands.

"Hmm!"

Gu Fei nodded and did not refuse. This Seven-Colored Illusionary Green Spirit Saliva was indeed a good thing for an Alchemist.

Besides, this was the reward he was entitled to.

After putting away the Seven-Colored Illusionary Green Spirit Saliva, Gu Fei did not want to waste any more time here.

Before long, Nalan Jie led a group of people to see Gu Fei and his two companions off at the entrance of the Nalan Mansion.

"Master Gu Fei, I will definitely repay this kindness in the future."

【Nalan Jie feels gratitude, Emotion Value +30】

Nalan Jie said in a deep voice, his expression looking quite serious and earnest.

Gu Fei nodded with a smile, turned around, and left without hesitation.

The young woman in the moon-white long dress bit her lower lip lightly, her gaze looking indifferently at Gu Fei's back, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

【Nalan Yanran feels curiosity, Emotion Value +80】

As the pride of the Jia Ma Empire, this was the first time she had been so slighted by a man of her own generation, but the more Gu Fei acted this way, the more curious she became.

Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties, and beauties have likewise loved heroes. With Gu Fei being so outstanding, it was naturally inevitable that he would attract the hearts of some young girls in love.

Perhaps she was among them.

On a mountain peak several hundred miles away from the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.

A graceful and moving figure stood on the mountain peak. The young girl melancholically tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her brows furrowed.

Subsequently, a figure landed beside her.

"Is there any news?"

Xun Er asked.

During this recent period, she and Ling Ying had been rushing about everywhere, constantly gathering information to find a medicinal herb for Xiao Yan that could restore his soul strength.

"Young Miss, I have found information: the Nalan family in Gama Holy City possesses a strange plant called Seven-Colored Illusionary Green Spirit Saliva. The roots and stems of this plant can extract an extremely profound liquid substance, and this substance is the best medicine for restoring soul strength."

Xun Er turned her head abruptly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and joy.

However, she saw that Ling Ying had a somewhat hesitant expression.

"What is it?"

She asked somewhat nervously.

"However... that item has already been taken by Young Master Gu Fei."

"The head of the Nalan family was afflicted with Branding Poison, and the Nalan family put out word that whoever could remove the Branding Poison for their family head would be gifted that medicinal herb."

"And Young Master Gu Fei went to the Nalan family two days ago; afterwards, Nalan Jie recovered, and the Seven-Colored Illusionary Green Spirit Saliva had already been gifted to Young Master Gu Fei by the Nalan family."

"He is the one who took it?"

Hearing this, Xun Er was somewhat surprised. How could it be such a coincidence? She had just been searching for medicine to treat the soul, and immediately afterwards, she heard the news that the Seven-Colored Illusionary Green Spirit Saliva had already been taken by Gu Fei.

Xun Er lowered her eyes, her dark brows slightly furrowed, and she murmured: "Didn't he say he had already let go? Yet his actions now are still targeting me, targeting Brother Xiao Yan..."
