Ms. Doctor Divine

Gu Chaoyan’s eyes fell upon Zhou Huaijin’s. He looked very sincere as he said to Gu Chaoyan. “The mountains are located in the capital city, but the deeper we go, the more dangerous it would get. There are beasts and monsters appearing here and there too. Actually, many people got bitten to death by the beasts a couple of months ago.”

Gu Chaoyan flushed, but hearing what Zhou Huaijin said, Gu Chaoyan stopped being shy and said, “Really?”

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

The deceased were just ordinary people. No officers in the government cared about who they were specifically, but he found the whole thing peculiar.

So when Yan decided to get into the mountains, he hurried to catch up to her, hoping to keep her safe.

“No one except hunters dare to go into the mountains these years. So I was really worried about you,” Zhou Huaijin said.

Gu Chaoyan wanted very much to tell him that she was not afraid of beasts, since she herself was quite skilled in kung fu, but she swallowed the words at the sight of Zhou Huaijin’s sincere expression.

She stretched out her hands and gripped his. “We are going to be fine.”

Zhou Huaijin put his other hand upon hers and then kissed the chubby, fair-skinned hand of hers.

That warm touch made Gu Chaoyan withdraw her hand directly. She protested with a small voice. “Please don’t be like this.”

Now, she was not willing to place her hand into his any more.

With his eyes upon her, Zhou Huaijin chuckled.

Finally they arrived at Mount Maiji.

Gu Chaoyan felt that being with Zhou Huaijin alone in the wagon, the temperature inside was extremely high. Yet as they got off the wagon and faced the mountain in front of them, the air cooled down.

The next second, a hand wrapped around her waist and held Gu Chaoyan, as he said, “Let’s go and check it out while it is still bright outside.”

Gu Chaoyan froze. Feeling bashful… she removed Zhou Huaijin’s hand. “Sword One and everyone are here.”

“They are not watching us.” Zhou Huaijin said seriously.

Gu Chaoyan looked at them… Sure enough, Sword One and Sword Two had their heads lowered.

Gu Chaoyan rolled her eyes. “Who are you working for anyway? You are not defending me at all! I miss Qing so much. She always treats me nicely!”

Unfortunately, Qing was not martially skilled.

Zhou Huaijin was busy thinking which one of his friends was the same age as Qing, so that he could arrange a marriage between that person and Qing.

As he was thinking Gu Chaoyan already started to walk into the mountains.

Zhou Huaijin caught up with them directly.

Those people were highly skilled. They walked really fast in the mountains.

Gu Chaoyan had been used to picking these herbs in her previous life, so she wasted no time in getting whatever she needed. Apart from some ordinary herbs with no effects, Gu Chaoyan harvested most of the herbs she had seen.

Even Zhou Huaijin asked with disbelief as he looked at a stream. “Yan, how did you know there are things you need there!”

As he was asking her, Gu Chaoyan was digging up the herbs discreetly and passed them to Sword Two.

“It is a stream covered by tall grass. So the animals in the mountains never come to this place. The reason why they don’t come near to this place, is probably because the grass is poisonous. That’s how I found them.”

Hearing the word “poisonous”, Sword One shivered and almost dropped the herbs.
