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

Chapter 42 A stunning meeting, Medusa yields!Gu He was stunned for a moment, and the next instant, he saw that his empty arms were now occupied by a person.

The woman sat on the wooden table, her light purple snake tail swaying gently, emitting a faint glow, showing signs of transforming into human legs.

A face that could be described as bewitchingly beautiful leaned in close to Gu He.

Both were momentarily stunned, but Gu He was the first to break the stillness.

Gu He gently moved his finger, which was inside Medusa’s mouth, and pushed the Medicinal Pill down her throat.

Afterward, Medusa reacted. Her beautiful eyes, filled with Evil Qi, shifted slightly, but she didn’t pull her lips away. Instead, she moved her pearly white teeth, as if intending to bite down and sever Gu He’s finger—

”Snap!” Gu He slowly withdrew his hand and wiped it with a clean handkerchief.

Medusa looked down and saw the blue sachet stuffed in her mouth. Her willow-leaf eyebrows arched, and her Killing Intent was fully revealed—

The moment she bared her silvery teeth, Gu He had actually taken the sachet given to him by Xiao Yi Xian out of his storage ring!

A faint medicinal fragrance drifted into Medusa’s mouth and nose. For a moment, her Evil Qi surged, and then,

”Clatter!” Medusa’s Qi swirled, and the remaining Medicinal Pill bottles on the table were instantly flung to the ground, shattering with a crisp sound.

She took the sachet out of her mouth, threw it on the ground, extended and kicked with her snow-white jade legs, and stood barefoot on the floor.

Gu He was instantly captivated by Medusa’s legs.

His gaze traveled from bottom to top, and the first thing that met his eyes was a pair of snow-white jade feet that seemed to be a work of nature.

These jade feet were crystal clear, as if they were carefully carved works of art, making one unable to resist the urge to touch them.

Each toe was round and curved, resembling fine Guanyin jade, making one want to lean in and feel their warmth.

Further up were a pair of slender, beautiful legs. These legs were perfectly proportioned, with a rosy white complexion, and their smooth lines showed absolutely no trace of a snake tail.

Above her legs was that sacred place.

Further up was her flat, toned abdomen and her peaks.

Exquisite collarbones, alluring red lips—these charming and bewitching elements gathered together to form a scene that intoxicated Gu He.

Faced with Gu He’s scanner-like gaze, Medusa became even more furious, her pretty face full of anger.

She condensed three energy snakes and struck directly at Gu He’s face.

Gu He had guessed that her evolution was successful when he saw Medusa’s near-perfect legs earlier, and now the energy snakes she unleashed carried the might of a One-Star Dou Zong.

But he was unhurried. He raised a finger, and the three purple snakes were swept by a cyan flame, instantly turning into phantoms.

”You actually refined the Green Lotus Core Flame?!”

Before, her energy was insufficient and her memory was fuzzy, but now she was finally certain that Gu He had indeed obtained that Heavenly Flame which had almost cost her her life!

Her eyes narrowed. Facing this faint cyan flame, she had to suppress her rage and begin to think calmly.

She knew that it was Gu He who led people into the Snake-People Clan and later abducted her true form, treating it like a small pet—this was unforgivable!

But Gu He had already subdued the Heavenly Flame, and she didn’t know how many other trump cards he possessed, which forced her to be cautious.

”What exactly are your intentions?!”

Medusa’s Qi transformed into a purple long whip, held in her slender hand, her beautiful face bearing a look of cold ruthlessness.

Gu He smiled calmly, ”What intentions could I have? If I wanted to kill you, I would have wiped you out the moment you turned into your true form.”

Medusa, barefoot, distanced herself from Gu He. The sensation from the cold floor tiles was just like her current state of mind.

She pondered Gu He’s words deeply. It was indeed so.

Gu He had countless opportunities to kill her, yet he never made a move, and instead had taken good care of her true form.

But, he was a member of the Human Race! The Human Race was always treacherous and cunning.

Medusa’s long, charming eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a dangerous glint, revealing her vigilance. ”Are you saying these things to make me lower my guard?”

”What kind of scheme do you have?!”

Medusa’s long whip flew out directly, shooting toward the standing Gu He.

Gu He raised his eyes and flicked his finger gently. The faint cyan flame, like a swimming fish, burrowed into the rapidly approaching energy whip.

In just an instant, the energy whip turned to ashes.

Medusa couldn’t help but take a small step back; the might of that Heavenly Flame once again stirred up bad memories.

Gu He raised a gentle smile, ”Are you afraid of me?”

The famous Queen of the Snake-People Clan of the Jia Ma Empire, a powerhouse recognized by both the Human Race and the Snake-People, ruthless and cruel.

Yet such a queen, when facing Gu He, had to be on the highest alert.

Medusa smiled coldly. The sense of danger Gu He brought her, on par with a Dou Zong, made her unable to act further.

She hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, her voice carrying a hint of faint charm and a trace of concession. ”Speak, what do you want to do, or... what do you need me to do.”

She forced herself to retract her coldness and put on an appearance of peaceful negotiation. It actually felt a bit like the saying, ”one must bow when under the eaves.”

Facing her direct words, Gu He didn’t beat around the bush.

”I want you to stay, to remain by my side.”

Medusa knitted her dark eyebrows, her long, charming eyes staring fixedly at Gu He, as if trying to discern his true purpose.

In her heart, she harbored resentment and a bit of disdain. A mere human wanted to keep her, Medusa? What a joke?!

If it weren’t for the obstruction of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python’s Soul, she would have already erupted and chopped Gu He into mincemeat!

Medusa constructed a thick energy shield, preparing to leave. Unexpectedly, Gu He did not stop her.

She looked back at the wafting flame on Gu He’s hand, a flash of wariness in her eyes, and then prepared to form wings and leave.

”I can refine the Soul Fusion Pill; are you sure you don’t need it?” Gu He said unhurriedly.

Medusa’s movement to manifest her wings paused.

The Soul Fusion Pill was a Sixth-Grade Pill that could enhance one’s Soul Power and, more importantly, solve her current Soul problem, helping her control her body better!

And Gu He was the pill king of the Jia Ma Empire, the strongest alchemist in the Empire. Here, only he had the ability to refine the Soul Fusion Pill!

Medusa turned to look at Gu He, a flash of resentment in her beautiful eyes.

This man knew she would stay because of the conditions he offered, so he had been calm and confident from the very beginning!

”Heh...”

”You certainly have a good plan.”

Gu He smiled faintly, ”Then, Your Highness, shall we... have a pleasant cooperation?”

”Hmph!”

Medusa’s eyes shifted slightly, no longer looking at this despicable human. Her thoughts stirred, and a brilliant light burst forth from her body.

Her soft body and alluring curves vanished, her jade-white feet transformed back into a snake tail, and she turned back into the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

”Hiss~” Looking at the slightly wary little snake, Gu He stroked her smooth snake scales and tapped her snake head with his knuckles.

”The Medicinal Pill bottles are all broken, and I have to clean up again. You deserve to be punished!”

The little snake shook her head, dodged Gu He’s next flick to her head, crawled on the cold floor, unceremoniously used her tail to scoop up the intact Medicinal Pills, and swallowed them into her stomach like lightning.

The gluttony and intoxication in her purple snake eyes blended together, looking extremely satisfied.

”I might as well rename you ’Little Glutton’...” Gu He muttered, drawing a fiery glare from the little snake.
