Ms. Doctor Divine

1840 Condition 1

This time, she didn’t hesitate but fixed her gaze in that direction.

Behind a small hill, the sight of a familiar figure greeted her.

Huaijin?

Fu Bao!

Accompanying Huaijin were a few discreet guards, undoubtedly separated from the group to ensure his safety. Surprisingly, none of them seemed injured or harmed, having managed to find their way back to their team.

Gu Chaoyan stole a quick glance at them, cautious not to attract attention from the guards of Snow Territory.

Maintaining an air of nonchalance, Huaijin discreetly gestured toward a wounded spot, signaling Gu Chaoyan that they required assistance.

Gu Chaoyan observed the injury and committed it to memory, nodding subtly in response.

Taking cover within the hills, they concealed themselves, opting not to reveal their presence again.

Gu Chaoyan returned to the wagon and whispered, “Lingyun, fetch some medicine to staunch the bleeding and gather herbs known for their cooling properties. Inform the covert guards to discreetly leave them in the snow. They’re in need.”

“…”

“Mr. Head and the others?” Sword One inquired excitedly. Gu Chaoyan motioned for her to lower her voice, and Sword One complied, understanding the need for discretion.

They silently organized the arrangements.

However, Gu Chaoyan found herself in a state of hesitation.

The condition of the hidden guards was dire, and Huaijin’s well-being seemed far from optimal.

They had suffered severe injuries in an ambush, and their resources were scarce in this icy, snowy land. Enduring the bitter conditions, they had faced immense hardships.

The herbs available to them had proven to be less effective than desired.

Gu Chaoyan pondered for a while.

Nevertheless, she made up her mind to enter the space.

Within the space, a myriad of herbs flourished due to the enchanting aura, and several fruits thrived, nourished by holy water. If she could provide these resources, it would facilitate their swift recovery.

Gu Chaoyan gathered an assortment of fruits.

Since she had concealed the existence of the space from the public, she couldn’t simply hand over the items she retrieved to Lingyun and the hidden guards. She needed to devise a way to deliver them personally.

But how could she accomplish this?

It presented a challenging predicament for her.

As Gu Chaoyan found herself in a state of confusion, Huang Fu settled down beside her.

Donning his red robe, he still exuded an air of arrogance, albeit less pronounced than before.

During these days…

He had been contemplating his actions.

He and Feng Le held grievances against each other, but she had chosen to forget. He had been pressuring her to make amends, but she couldn’t comply.

Perhaps they could take things slowly.

When this thought crossed her mind…

Dealing with that could be put off for now.

“You’re unsure how to deliver it to them?” Huang Fu queried.

Silence followed.

“I may not like him, but I can assist you this time,” he offered.

“…”

“But you must promise me one thing.”

“That’s impossible,” Gu Chaoyan promptly declined.

Huang Fu had a tendency to exploit her vulnerabilities whenever she was down. At this moment, she preferred to devise a solution on her own rather than agreeing to his terms.

Huang Fu smiled helplessly.

Indeed, deep down, that was who she truly was.

Bitterly, Huang Fu continued, “Listen to me first.”

“…”

“I lack sufficient magical power, trapping me in this place. I can only venture out when my magical power replenishes, albeit for a limited duration.”

“….”

“I can assist you in retrieving the items,” he stated.

“….”

“I have a different request this time, one that diverges from my previous statement.”

“….”

“I simply wish to…”
