"But!" Ya Fei smiled charmingly, continuing Little Fairy Doctor's words: "You've overlooked the most fundamental thing, and if not handled well, it could endanger your own life, or even affect Chu Xiao."
Little Fairy Doctor drank her tea, her clear eyes reflecting Ya Fei's appearance: "What thing?"
"Look closely at the rules mentioned on the first page of the duplicate," Ya Fei said, flipping her duplicate to the first page and pushing it over: "Do not actively tell outsiders about the duplicate's existence, do not actively harm the notebook owner in any way, or the qualification to own the duplicate will be revoked, and relevant memories will be deleted."
"Now we know that those who also own duplicates are not considered outsiders."
"Then, what about the owner of the main notebook? Are they considered an outsider?"
Little Fairy Doctor's expression remained unchanged: "I thought of that. Losing the duplicate and having memories sealed, I don't mind."
"But you must care about Chu Xiao's safety." Ya Fei's eyes grew serious: "If we duplicate owners have these two rules, then does he, the main notebook owner, also have some kind of restriction?"
Little Fairy Doctor's pupils contracted.
"Think about the second rule," Ya Fei continued: "Actively harming in any way will result in the revocation of qualifications and deletion of memories."
"That means we duplicate owners can't harm him at all, not even by poisoning him or sending subordinates to act."
"Doesn't that sound like it's advising people like you, who are willing to tell Chu Xiao the truth, not to do anything unnecessary?"
Little Fairy Doctor: !!!
"Even if there's no life danger, perhaps both you and Chu Xiao lose the notebook and have your memories sealed. In that case, you, who have changed your life trajectory and appeared in Utan City, would you still be able to naturally get together with him?"
Little Fairy Doctor: !!!!
"Even if you don't consider this point, think about Chu Xiao losing his memories, but what if Yun Yun and other duplicate owners still have theirs?"
"Everyone is bound by the duplicate rules and cannot harm him, but it's hard to guarantee they won't do things that could affect his growth."
"Even a tiny change could affect Chu Xiao's future, so he absolutely must regain his memories."
Little Fairy Doctor: !!!!!
She understood in her heart that the possibility Ya Fei spoke of was small.
But no matter how small, that possibility still existed.
If she caused Chu Xiao to lose his future memories, she would be the greatest sinner.
"I'm returning to Qingshan Town!" Little Fairy Doctor instantly changed her mind.
She wanted to follow her original trajectory to Chu Xiao's side and then continue to accompany him.
If, during this process, she discovered any duplicate owner acting recklessly, she could set things right!
"I will send a Dou Ling to protect you in secret." Yun Yun smiled and said: "Ensuring your safety in Qingshan Town until Chu Xiao arrives."
"If there's danger or anything else you need, you can tell me through the letter function, and I'll do my best to help."
From their brief interaction, Yun Yun could fully guess Little Fairy Doctor's position in Chu Xiao's heart; she definitely couldn't compare.
Everyone is unique, and she didn't want to become like Little Fairy Doctor and lose herself.
But befriending her had no concerns whatsoever.
"You can also send it to me, or find someone from the Mittel Family nearby. There's also a mercenary group loyal to the Mittel Family in Qingshan Town; you can command them with this card." Ya Fei took out a purple-gold card with the Mittel Family crest.
"Thank you!" Little Fairy Doctor didn't stand on ceremony with them.
Judging from Chu Xiao's future memories, these two were natural allies.
"I'll leave now." Little Fairy Doctor stood up, gently smoothing her skirt.
"No need to be so hasty." Ya Fei smiled radiantly: "How about I treat you to lunch before you go?"
"No need. If Chu Xiao comes out of Cultivation and sees me here, it'll be hard to explain." Little Fairy Doctor shook her head, refusing.
"Alright." Ya Fei shook her head with some regret: "The restaurant we're in right now is Chu Xiao's only property in Utan City."
"Not only is his Cultivation talent good, but he's also very creative, excelling at innovation in architectural design and dishes. I eat the food at this restaurant every day; I haven't found anything better even in the Imperial Capital~"
"You knew about this, why didn't you tell me?" Yun Yun lightly raised her chin, showing displeasure.
"My dear sister, where do you think the dishes you've been praising so much these past few days came from?" Ya Fei feigned grievance: "I've had people pack them up from here every day, and the money isn't cheap."
"Alright, it was my misunderstanding." Yun Yun lightly coughed to hide her embarrassment: "When we return to the auction house, I'll go to your room and continue to guide you in your Cultivation Technique."
Ya Fei's eyes instantly became resentful: "Thank you."
This woman was repaying kindness with enmity!
"The timing is just right; I'll have lunch before heading back." Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks were flushed as she sat back down: "I mean, this time, I'll treat you two."
Ya Fei and Yun Yun exchanged glances and smiled, but tacitly didn't expose her.
"I'll order. Sweet and sour Black Dragon Pork Tenderloin, Spicy Jade Tofu, Chu's Sauerkraut Yellow Spirit Fish…"
Ya Fei called the waiter loudly and expertly began ordering dishes, whose names left Yun Yun and Little Fairy Doctor wide-eyed.
Once they officially started eating, Little Fairy Doctor's mouth only had "So delicious~" left.
She even ate three large bowls of the special Tagor Rice grown on the edge of the Tagor Desert.
"So satisfying." Little Fairy Doctor rubbed her little belly: "Chu Xiao is truly amazing."
"Indeed." Yun Yun nodded in agreement: "Eating it hot here tastes even better than taking it to go."
"Then let's come every day from now on." Ya Fei swayed her body, her peach blossom eyes curving charmingly: "Chu Xiao is truly capable; he satisfies all three of us at once."
Yun Yun and Little Fairy Doctor both felt that this remark was inappropriate.
"I'm reluctant to leave now." Little Fairy Doctor joked.
"Sister, you're showing off." Ya Fei rested her chin on her hand, a smile playing on her lips: "It's said that the chefs at this restaurant were all personally taught by him, and his own cooking skills are even better."
"You've accompanied Chu Xiao the longest; if he doesn't feed others enough, he'll definitely feed you enough, right?"
Little Fairy Doctor's mouth twitched: "..."
You'd better be talking about eating.
After a simple meal, Little Fairy Doctor boarded a Tier 1 Demonic Beast carriage returning to Qingshan Town.
She arrived quickly and returned even faster.
Meanwhile, in the dilapidated Dou Di Space.
On a protrusion three thousand zhang high on Tianzhu Peak, Chu Xiao sat cross-legged, his body actually suspended.
"Hoo!"
Suddenly, Chu Xiao exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.
This turbid Qi seemed to float out, yet electric arcs flashed.
"Direct Minor Achievement, not bad!"
Chu Xiao opened his eyes, and a purplish-blue light flashed in his dark pupils.
After switching to the Wind and Thunder Mystic Canon, the Dou Qi in his Dantian's Dou Crystal became extremely sharp.
As long as he continuously devoured and refined the two types of heaven and earth energy—wind and thunder—he could compress and transform them, Cultivating to Dou Zong without any Bottleneck.
[The Cultivation Technique has successfully reached Minor Achievement, and the flying secret technique has also been mastered.]
[It's time to depart for Stone Desert City to lend a hand to the two cousins, bring Qing Lin with me, and devour the Qinglian Earth Core Flame.]
All the women: !!!
In just a few hours, he had skipped directly from getting Started to Minor Achievement!?
