Doupo: Rebirth of Gu He, Starting with a Strategy to Win Over Yun Yun

Chapter 16 Do you want to come with me?Chapter 16: Do You Want to Come With Me? (PK, please add to collection!)

Faced with this scene, Xiao Yi Xian widened her small mouth in shock.

Mu Li was the Young Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and his own strength was not weak.

Gu He actually severed one of his arms just like that?!

”You... just you wait!!” Mu Li’s eyes were as fierce as if they were steeped in poison as he spat out the threat.

”Xiao Yi Xian, and you! Just you wait! If I don’t avenge this, I’m not Mu Li!”

Gu He laughed candidly. ”Leave if you’re going to leave. Why are you barking like a dog?”

”You...!” The immense pain in his arm brought Mu Li back to his senses instantly.

”Retreat!”

Mu Li gave Gu He a sinister look and led his group away in a pathetic state.

The pharmacy fell silent for a moment, a faint medicinal fragrance carrying tiny powder particles floating in the air.

Dressed in simple white clothes, Xiao Yi Xian gazed at Gu He with a complicated look, her long, upturned eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

Gu He was also looking at her, not wanting to be distracted in the slightest.

[Ding!]

The sudden sound of the System stirred the waves within Gu He’s heart.

[Detected that the host currently has no bound target. Bind Xiao Yi Xian?]

Gu He almost forgot about this important matter.

”System, bind Xiao Yi Xian as the target.”

[Ding! Successfully bound ”Xiao Yi Xian” as the second conquest target.]

[Target information has been updated]

[Target: Xiao Yi Xian]

[Beauty Grade: Superior (Upgradable)]

[Cultivation: 7th Stage Dou Zhi Qi]

[Favorability toward host: 20%. Note: At the current favorability level, the success rate for the host to issue an appropriate invitation to the target is 35%.]

[Each time the target’s favorability increases, a corresponding reward will be granted based on the magnitude of the increase.]

Gu He wasn’t surprised by this information from the System.

As for why the beauty grade was upgradable? Haven’t you seen a ”nurturing” game? In a few years, Xiao Yi Xian would undergo a complete transformation as she matured...

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian finally organized her words and broke the silence.

”Mr. Gu, you should leave here quickly!”

A hint of worry appeared on her pure face. ”Mu Li was only targeting me... none of this originally had anything to do with Mr. Gu. You only got involved because of me...”

Gu He knew that Xiao Yi Xian didn’t want him to be involved.

But would he be afraid of trouble?

Gu He shook his head calmly, a spark of light in his eyes.

”You are a physician who treats and saves people; you shouldn’t be caught in such a predicament.”

”I will help you resolve this matter. Trust me.”

Xiao Yi Xian’s heart tightened, feeling a strange emotion spreading wantonly.

He acknowledged her profession; even as an Alchemist, he didn’t look down on her, a physician who hadn’t even become a Dou Practitioner yet.

He truly wanted to help her, and at any cost.

Xiao Yi Xian felt her thoughts were a bit messy.

Was she being too sensitive?

But...

Xiao Yi Xian suddenly revealed a brilliant smile.

”Mhm!” She nodded heavily.

Yet, under her sleeves, her pair of fair, tender hands held knockout powder and a short bamboo flute.

Just in case something happened to Gu He.

Meanwhile, Gu He heard the System’s notification:

[Ding! Target’s favorability toward host increased by 20%. Rewards obtained: ”spirit condensing pill” and ”alchemist aptitude pill”!]

[spirit condensing pill: Rapidly increases Dou Qi and helps cultivators condense a Qi Cyclone without side effects, but it is only effective for those below the Dou Practitioner Rank.]

[alchemist aptitude pill: A special pill that changes attributes, refines skeletal structure, and improves Aptitude—a complete all-in-one Alchemist service.]

[Target’s favorability toward host: 40%.]

Gu He raised an eyebrow. Quite a coincidence?

The spirit condensing pill and alchemist aptitude pill—weren’t these prepared specifically for Xiao Yi Xian?

...

Soon, Mu Li returned, followed by a large group from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, as well as their leader, Mu She!

”Son, is this the person who severed your arm?” Mu She stepped through the door with a grim expression, a long spear in hand.

”That’s right, it’s him!” Mu Li nodded fiercely.

Behind them followed a large group of mercenaries who lived their lives on the edge of a blade.

Mu She looked at Gu He and summoned his Dou Qi Gauze in a show of force.

An energy gauze catalyzed by Dou Qi was the hallmark of a Dou Master. His son was only a Dou Practitioner, but he was a genuine Two-star Dou Master!

The entire Qingshan Town had to defer to him!

”You took my son’s arm, so I’ll take your life. That’s only fair, right?” Mu She raised his spear, pointing it directly at Gu He.

Gu He looked at the pale spear tip, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

Beside him, Xiao Yi Xian shouted with all her might:

”Leader Mu She, it was your son who kept pestering me. He deserves what happened to him!”

Since they had already fallen out, she naturally didn’t need to be polite.

”Heh,” Mu She glanced indifferently at Xiao Yi Xian. ”My son hasn’t managed to win you over after all this time? What’s with this act of being so pure and lofty!”

”You...!” Xiao Yi Xian’s eyes reddened with anger, and she was momentarily at a loss for words.

Gu He shook his head helplessly.

This girl... was still a bit too naive.

However, her angry and annoyed appearance had its own charming flavor.

Mu She wasted no more words. Dou Qi coiled around his weapon as he took a large stride.

The long spear, enveloped in a green whirlwind, lunged toward Gu He, the sound of breaking wind seemingly tearing through the surrounding air.

Seeing Gu He standing still as if dazed, Mu She mocked inwardly: Heh, another useless fool making trouble on my turf!

*Clang!*

Gu He simply flicked his finger, and Mu She’s spear actually split in two vertically!

Immediately after, Gu He raised a hand, his robes fluttering.

In an instant, he struck with his palm.

A heatwave surged, and the air distorted for a moment.

Mu She’s body, wrapped in his own Dou Qi, was sent flying instantly!

Along with his son and several people behind them, they all became his cushions.

Gu He stepped forward and said calmly, ”You called for help when you couldn’t win; I allowed it. But now that you’re here... don’t bother leaving!”

He tapped his index finger, and a beam of light shot toward Mu She.

*Squelch!*

The Two-star Dou Master and local bully of Qingshan Town was killed in a single strike!

The trickling blood seeped into the bluestone floor, looking exceptionally beautiful reflecting the sunlight.

”Father!” Mu Li screamed toward the sky.

Beside Mu She’s corpse, he was completely plunged into horror.

His neck trembling, he looked up at Gu He with vacant eyes.

”Who... who on earth did I provoke...”

As Mu Li stood up with someone’s help, he smelled the stench of urine.

With an unnatural expression, he ordered the mercenaries behind him, ”Go back!!”

The mercenaries of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group carried Mu She’s body away in a chaotic mess, finally deciding to return the way they came to bury Mu She first.

...

Watching their pathetic figures, Gu He felt someone tugging at his sleeve. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yi Xian, who was making small movements.

”From now on, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group won’t be able to act tyrannically in Qingshan Town anymore!” Xiao Yi Xian’s eyes were like they carried starlight as she stared fixedly at Gu He.

Gu He smiled. ”I killed someone. Aren’t you afraid?”

Xiao Yi Xian secretly tucked away her self-defense knockout powder before replying leisurely, ”They deserved it!”

Her jade-white face was filled with smiles from her eyes to her brows.

[Ding! Target’s favorability toward host increased by 10%. Reward obtained: Heaven Rank Low-Level Dou Technique — Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!]

[Immortal Slaying Sword Formation: Seals the Domain, transforming swords into the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation centered on oneself to slay the target. When used in conjunction with the Cloud Misty Immortal Sword Art, its maximum power can be unleashed!]

[Target’s favorability toward host: 50%.]

Hearing the System’s notification in his ear, Gu He’s expression remained unchanged, but his voice took on a hint of seriousness as he asked Xiao Yi Xian softly,

”Mu She died in Wan Yao Pharmacy; you certainly can’t stay here anymore.”

”Do you... want to come with me?”
