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

Chapter 74 Bloodthirsty Divine Path Rewards, Hand in Hand Releasing LanternsMedusa approached aggressively.

Countless unspeakable images kept flooding into her mind.

Furthermore, this man’s Aura suddenly became even more intense.

”You’re awake?” Gu He asked first, his tone carrying a hint of concern.

Proud as Medusa was, at this moment, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She couldn’t beat him in a fight, and what was done was already done...

Medusa softened her tone and said softly, ”Mm...”

Gu He walked over, picked up Medusa’s wrist, opened his palm, and placed a storage ring into her hand.

”Inside are the Medicinal Pills to help you with the Fusion of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.”

”Consider the extra Medicinal Pills as my compensation to you.”

Medusa was slightly stunned, her cold and beautiful eyes looking somewhat dazed for a moment.

She took it, her fingertips feeling the clear patterns on the storage ring, and for some reason, she felt a bittersweet ache in her heart.

He... what does this mean?

Does he think of her as what kind of person! But... she did indeed need the Medicinal Pills.

She had to rely on him.

Medusa silently accepted the storage ring.

”...Thank you.”

It was impossible for her to let go of her hostility toward the Human Race just because of this sudden accident; Gu He had indeed incited her hatred and resentment, but he had also become an indelible mark in her life.

[Ding! Target’s favorability toward the host increased by 20%, obtained reward ”Heaven Rank Elementary Dou Technique · Bloodthirsty Divine Path”! ]

[Bloodthirsty Divine Path: Divided into three stages, Blood Garment Protection, Yamas Judgment, and Court Opening.

Blood Garment Protection: The injuries you receive are not injuries, but enhancements to your spirit and Dou Qi; furthermore, after activation, it significantly increases the durability of your life and body, reducing corresponding pain.

Yamas Judgment: Releases Sword Qi through a weapon carrier; its Aura is unstoppable, tracking the target relentlessly until death, and there will be special enhancements after successfully tracking and killing the target.

Court Opening: An invincible Divine Domain; although it has a time limit, invincible is invincible. ]

[Target’s favorability toward the host: 25%. ]

After receiving this notification, Gu He felt a second of bitterness.

He had been working quite hard, yet Medusa’s favorability was only twenty-five; truly, the road ahead was long and arduous!

At the same time, he was secretly startled.

The suggestion given by this System was clearly an upgraded version of the Cloud Misty Immortal Sword Art and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation! Moreover, it didn’t strictly require a weapon; he could engage in close-quarters combat.

With his invincible long-range attacks, he was now confident in close combat as well.

Furthermore, he was very interested in Blood Garment Protection; if he encountered a powerhouse he couldn’t defeat, could he just stab himself a few times first to gain an enhancement?

Ahem...

Meanwhile, Medusa, who had shyly accepted the storage ring, looked at the clearly distracted Gu He and furrowed her willow-leaf eyebrows.

Immediately, she discovered—the place Gu He was staring at was her neck!

She recalled the kiss marks on her neck that she had seen in the mirror a short while ago, those strawberry marks that had turned from pale pink to rose red...

Medusa immediately misunderstood.

”You... shameless, indulging in debauchery in broad daylight!” She quickly covered her neck.

Watching Medusa’s amusing actions, Gu He moved like drifting clouds, leaned forward, and kissed her soft, delicate lips.

The sensation was nothing like the thorns of the rose she was; instead, it was as sweet as morning dew.

”You wouldn’t still want to...” Medusa couldn’t help but take a step back.

Her snow-white soles were stained with dust.

She felt a bit alarmed.

If this continued, it would be a losing deal!

Even if he was very strong, he couldn’t...!

Gu He’s expression darkened.

Yun Yun and Yun Shan, having gained insights from observing his fight with the eight Dou Zuns, had taken a Flying Beast back to the Cloud Mist Sect to enter secluded meditation and Cultivate, seeking a Breakthrough.

As for Hai Bodong, after assigning the various tasks of the new auction to the members of the Mittel Family who had just arrived, he had busied himself wandering around the Black-Corner Region, not knowing what he was up to.

Now, the area around their room could be said to have formed a vacuum zone.

”We can try other ways to play.” Gu He said.

He took out a high-quality wolf hair brush.

Its material and quality were excellent, made from the tail of a Rank 3 Magical Wolf.

Medusa frowned slightly, ”What is the use of this...?”

Gu He pressed her onto the messy soft couch and said slowly, ”You’ll know in a moment.”

Medusa recalled her night of absurdity with Gu He, the most ferocious beast.

...

Half a day of absurdity.

Medusa’s attitude was clearly softer.

At night, the Moonstone embedded in the ceiling emitted a brilliant, glowing light,

Gu He pulled Medusa and suggested,

”There’s a Lantern Festival nearby recently; shall we go out and take a look?”

Medusa, with her pair of fair, long legs exposed, leaned on a chair, feeling the breeze blowing in from outside.

”There’s actually a Lantern Festival in this chaotic Black-Corner Region?”

A rhetorical question revealed her disbelief.

Gu He took her soft hand, ”Let’s go, you’ll know once we take a look!”

The two went out side by side; if they had been at each other’s throats nine-tenths of the time a day ago, now that was all concealed.

Medusa was wearing the pair of boots Gu He had given her, her thumb stroking the storage ring he had gifted her.

She had secretly checked the contents inside; they were exactly as Gu He had said, he had not lied to her.

Because of this, she wanted to be angry, but she couldn’t bring herself to be.

The barren desert had forged her cold and elegant temperament and fierce personality, yet in front of this man who carried a faint scent of Medicinal Pills, she couldn’t help but reveal a touch of tenderness.

She remembered when she was little, climbing onto the temple roof and seeing that crescent moon.

It was cold and clear, casting its radiance, as if to say no strangers were allowed near.

But suddenly, a purple cloud obscured it, then slowly unfolded in a gesture like an embrace, surrounding the crescent moon, as if filling its void.

Taking away that trace of regret.

Therefore,

She, Medusa, Queen of the Snake-People Clan, even the bright moon would encounter colorful clouds, right?

...

The area around the auction house that night was indeed quite lively.

Perhaps it was because the recent black storms were not as frequent,

The street that usually only sold ordinary goods was now hung with colorful lanterns, the multicolored lights dispelling the gloom, and countless peddlers and stalls were set up outside, looking row upon row from afar.

It was very lively.

Gu He took the initiative to hold Medusa’s hand, and unexpectedly, she did not resist the entire time.

The two walked to the side of the moat.

Pedestrians and couples in twos and threes were also, just like them, holding hands and walking side by side.

”Let’s buy a lantern.” Gu He pointed to a lantern stall filled with a dazzling array of goods and took out money first.

Medusa’s gaze lingered on a snake-shaped lantern for a few seconds, ”Mm.”

”I want that one.” Medusa took it down directly.

Gu He was responsible for paying.

The owner selling the lanterns praised, ”Men who listen to their wives are the most blessed!”

Apparently, he was talking about how deftly Gu He paid.

Medusa immediately recalled the soreness she felt before taking the post-coital Medicinal Pill Gu He had given her, and she glared fiercely at Gu He with her beautiful eyes.

This stall owner was simply blind to the truth!

Gu He had never listened to her!

Medusa took the snake-shaped lantern, went to the riverbank, and gently placed it down; Gu He summoned a wisp of Exotic Fire behind her.

She asked in surprise, ”What’s wrong?”

Gu He asked her in return, ”Aren’t you going to light the lantern? Everyone else’s is lit.”

Medusa glanced at the lotus lanterns, hibiscus lanterns, and others belonging to other people; indeed, they had all lit the wicks, glittering and shining, reflecting the shapes of the flowers, which was exceptionally beautiful.

”Dummy! This is Exotic Fire; if you light it with that, my lantern will be gone!” Medusa said, acting coy.

She also did not realize how charming she was at this moment.

Perhaps the warm scene of the lanterns made her put down the defenses deep in her heart for a moment.

She smiled, her eyebrows overshadowing the colors of the lanterns.

Green energy, like a slender snake, swam onto the wick, and the lantern instantly lit up.

The crimson little snake on the flower base shone brilliantly.
