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

Chapter 18 Little Fairy Doctor, Keep Laughing From Now OnChapter 18: Xiao Yi Xian, Keep Smiling from Now On (Seeking Collections)

As his voice fell...

In Xiao Yi Xian’s eyes, Gu He seemed to pull out another box like a Magic Treasure and handed it to her.

The box opened, revealing a dragon-eye-sized Medicinal Pill inside, emitting a faint golden light.

The moment the pill came into contact with the air, a faint mist rose from its surface, clearly showing its extraordinary nature.

Gu He smiled faintly, ”This alchemist aptitude pill is the only one in the world.”

Xiao Yi Xian hesitated for a moment, ”Then... Teacher, are you going to let me eat it?”

”It’s a Medicinal Pill. If it’s not consumed, how can it fulfill its value?”

”Besides, you are my disciple now.”

Gu He’s tone was natural, as if he were stating an established fact.

”Is that so...” Xiao Yi Xian blinked, her large, dark eyes sparkling with a beautiful light.

Gu He looked at her and said gently but firmly, ”Hurry and take it.”

Xiao Yi Xian nodded heavily. Having just achieved a Breakthrough to become a Dou Practitioner, she was somewhat tired yet excited.

After learning she had a Water Attribute, she had been nearly in despair, but it was Gu He who reached out and pulled her back up.

Xiao Yi Xian took the Medicinal Pill and swallowed it to refine it.

Instantly, a surge of hot Qi and a vigorous Qi merged at her Qi Cyclone, slowly devouring the Water Attribute within, then becoming increasingly powerful and intense.

Gradually, Xiao Yi Xian felt this change in elements. Her face lit up with joy, and she was about to tell Gu He,

”Continue absorbing the Aptitude Pill; you haven’t fully refined it yet.” Gu He, standing by her side, reminded her while outputting his own Qi to help nourish her Meridians.

Feeling the warm and gentle energy coming from the outside, Xiao Yi Xian quickly composed herself and continued to circulate her Qi.

But in her heart, earth-shattering changes had already occurred.

The System notification Gu He heard was its explanation.

[Ding! Target’s favorability toward the host has increased by 15%. Reward obtained: Stage Cultivation Three-Piece Set!]

[The three-piece set consists of the ’Profound Rank Elementary Cultivation Technique: Poison Devouring Art’, ’Earth Rank Elementary Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Poison Manual’, and ’Heaven Rank Elementary Cultivation Technique: Calamity Poison Skill’!]

[Poison Devouring Art: Dispels and controls poison; after cultivation, it can control the Calamity Poison Body.]

[Ten Thousand Poison Manual: After cultivation, one uses poison like a god. Although it is Earth Rank Elementary, it can exert the effectiveness of Earth Rank Advanced.]

[Calamity Poison Skill: The most compatible Cultivation Technique for the Calamity Poison Body. Its moves are ruthless, and upon reaching Major Achievement, it creates a poison domain where no one survives!]

[Target’s favorability toward the host: 65%.]

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

”Whew... whew...” Xiao Yi Xian opened her eyes, raised her hand to brush aside the damp strands of hair on her forehead, and looked at Gu He with a lively gaze.

”Teacher! Can I become an Alchemist now?” Her expression carried a hint of excitement.

Gu He felt her excitement and agitation, but he shook his head slightly.

”Still... no?” Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head dejectedly, her eyes seeming to be covered by a layer of mist.

Gu He spoke slowly,

”While nourishing your Meridians just now, I discovered that your Physique is very special. You possess the once-in-a-century Calamity Poison Body.”

Xiao Yi Xian was startled: ”You... you know?”

Gu He nodded, paused, and continued,

”Normally, it’s impossible for you to become an Alchemist because as soon as you touch poison, it will trigger the Calamity Poison Body, and then... you will nourish the poison with your body.”

”You only need to consume poison to increase your cultivation, but sooner or later, you will die from body explosion due to being plagued by ten thousand poisons.”

Every word he spoke was like the waterfall in the deepest part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, washing over Xiao Yi Xian’s heart like a torrential rain.

She couldn’t help but bite her lip hard.

As expected...

She was just an unlucky person!

Because of her Calamity Poison Body, her mother died, and all the villagers died...

She thought she could redeem her sins and start over...

But now, Teacher knew everything. Would he be like those villagers back then, loathing her? Hating and ostracizing her?

Xiao Yi Xian’s gaze was as fragile as spring water on the ground, like a homeless child, yet carrying a bit of hope, wishing for someone to find her.

And Gu He—

He finally couldn’t help but gently hug Xiao Yi Xian. The small girl trembled and cried in his arms like a little rabbit.

His tone became even gentler as he continued, ”Everything has its way. I have a solution for your Physique; I can even make it beneficial and harmless.”

He pulled away from the hug and took out a pitch-black scroll from his storage ring, placing it in Xiao Yi Xian’s fair hand.

Xiao Yi Xian instinctively looked at the scroll and saw three bold characters written in the top right corner:

”Poison Devouring Art”

Poison... Devouring Manual? Xiao Yi Xian felt her heart being wrenched hard, and she looked at Gu He with a hopeful expression.

”Could it be that... I can use my own power to control the poison body?”

She looked at Gu He expectantly, her voice so light it seemed to float, as if she didn’t dare believe it.

”That’s right!” Gu He told her firmly.

Xiao Yi Xian gripped the scroll tightly but didn’t look at the content immediately. Instead, she closed her eyes and threw herself into Gu He’s embrace like a fledgling bird.

”I didn’t want to have this Physique either, but I had no choice... Even after growing up, I still dream of the past, dreaming of others dying because my poison body erupted.”

”I don’t want to be a Poison Master. I can use poison as a weapon, but I want to be an Alchemist even more!”

”So...” Xiao Yi Xian held Gu He a little tighter.

”Teacher, do you... do you really not loathe your disciple?”

Her voice was muffled.

As for Gu He,

With a slender and soft willow-like waist in his arms, the sensation was exceptionally wonderful.

He felt both annoyed and amused. How could this girl think he would loathe her?

Because she had never been loved, was even asking for a little bit of affection done so cautiously?

Gu He patted her back and said, ”I won’t loathe you. If you need a backer, Teacher will be your strongest shield.”

”What I just gave you is the Poison Devouring Art. It can help you control your poison body, and I will teach you step by step how to Cultivate and how to perform Alchemy.”

He paused, ”And besides, I’m not that dislikeable, am I?”

Xiao Yi Xian was stunned, looked up, and stammered, ”How could that be? How could Teacher be dislikeable!”

Her voice was firm, and her small face was red, inexplicably sounding like she was acting coquettishly.

Gu He said with a hint of a smile, ”Then... my little disciple, can you smile?”

”I don’t want to see you always shedding tears in front of me.”

The gentle yet resonant male voice was like a beam of light, instantly illuminating Xiao Yi Xian’s dark eyes.

Xiao Yi Xian was moved and couldn’t help but touch the area over her heart.

It felt... sour yet sweet.

Like being filled with sweet soup.

”Mm-hmm!” She nodded, her small face flushed.

In the next instant, her pink lips curved slightly, and her smile bloomed like a flower.

Gu He tapped her nose, his deep eyes rippling with uncontrollable tenderness.

”Keep smiling like this from now on!”

Xiao Yi Xian nodded heavily, her sweaty palms clutching the black scroll as she said happily,

”Of course, Teacher!”
