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

Chapter 118 Tang Huo’er’s conquest is a success!Every frown and smile of Tang Huo’er fell into Gu He’s eyes, like stars and clouds.

Her long hair fluttered in the breeze like ink, and her star-like eyes were so agile they seemed to be misted with vapor.

In the midst of the ambiguity.

[Ding! The target’s favorability toward the host has increased by 20%. Current favorability: 65%.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the weapon ”Frost Dragon Bone Bow”!]

[Frost Dragon Bone Bow: Made of pure ice-attribute Monster Cores, crystals, and white bones. The entire body is ice-blue, flowing like clouds and water, emitting a cold aura. Infinite arrow supply, can pierce defenses, and freeze with a single shot.]

Gu He was slightly stunned upon receiving the prompt. A bow and arrow weapon?

He had never had one of these before.

He was used to close combat; suddenly having a bow was quite interesting.

Gu He snapped back to his senses in a second. Because he was close to Tang Huo’er, he could smell the faint fragrance on the young girl.

It was like the Fire Tea Flowers that covered the mountains.

Suddenly,

”Swoosh—”

A hidden arrow shot out from the sleeve of Wu Chen, who was lying on the ground. It contained massive Dou Qi energy and a small Seal.

This was actually a rare hidden weapon type Magical Artifact from an auction!

It could only be used once, but its destructive power was astonishing. In the hands of an Eight-Star Dou Zong like Wu Chen, it could explode with the terrifying power of a One-Star Dou Zun!

Wu Chen wasn’t just charging blindly; he only dared to provoke because he had a trump card!

He, Wu Chen, was not convinced!

The moment the hidden arrow flew out, he propped up his broken body, wanting to see Gu He fall to the ground like a broken kite, just as he had.

But then—

Gu He caught his hidden arrow with one hand!

The Cyan-White Essence Flame flickered faintly, wrapping around Gu He’s large palm as if forming a gauntlet.

Amidst that light speed, the sharp arrow originally aimed at Gu He’s back flashed. Gu He turned his body sideways, his sleeves moving with the speed of a sweeping cold wind, and he caught the hidden sleeve arrow directly!

Wu Chen, who had propped himself up, froze. As his white hair fluttered in the wind, he felt a chill down his spine. In Gu He’s ethereal gaze, which looked at him as if he were mere grass, he felt as if he were haunted by vengeful spirits.

How ironic!

His full-strength strike, which cost a one-time Magical Artifact, was like child’s play in the eyes of others!

”Heh...”

”Heh...”

Wu Chen spat out several mouthfuls of blood, let out two cold laughs, and was completely defeated.

”It doesn’t even matter if you take the whole Dou Technique Pavilion away now...”

Following his exclamation, Elder Mu hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Gu He, on the other hand, gently squeezed the now-useless hidden arrow, turning it into powder that scattered with the wind. He then turned back to look at Tang Huo’er’s startled, pretty face.

Her beautiful eyes widened slightly. Wu Chen’s sudden attack just now had left her at a loss; she even had a faint feeling of impending death.

If it hadn’t been Gu He standing in front of her, but someone else, perhaps under Elder Wu Chen’s reckless attack, that person might have quickly swapped places with her, making Tang Huo’er the scapegoat.

Tang Huo’er pursed her lips. Her rosy, tender lips looked exceptionally beautiful under the crystalline luster.

”Mr. Gu He... You... you are really amazing!”

After a long time, Tang Huo’er managed to squeeze out these words, her voice crisp and pleasant, like the song of a lark.

”You will always be my idol!”

As soon as Tang Huo’er finished speaking, Gu He received another prompt.

[Ding! The target’s favorability toward the host has increased by 6%. Current favorability: 71%.]

[Congratulations to the host for a successful strategy!]

[Remaining strategy targets: Medusa, Feng Qing’er]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Magical Artifact ”Fluorescent Wave Azure Waistband”!]

[Fluorescent Wave Azure Waistband: A close-fitting Magical Artifact belt. By condensing Dou Qi onto the waistband, it can block a full-strength strike from a Dou Sheng.]

?? This is a protective Divine Artifact.

Gu He’s eyes lit up with joy. Was he going to be invincible and immortal? This close-fitting Magical Artifact didn’t seem like a one-time use item either.

Of course, Gu He didn’t show any of this on his face. He raised his large hand and stroked Tang Huo’er’s head as if petting a kitten, showing a hint of doting.

Tang Huo’er felt this warm touch and couldn’t help but curl her lips, a burst of joy overflowing.

Her heart felt itchy.

Is this what it feels like to have one’s heart flutter? Tang Huo’er asked herself softly.

Heat rose from her face. For some reason, even though the two of them hadn’t made any more intimate or further moves, her pretty yet heroic little face was as red as a cooked shrimp.

”Squeak~”

The sound of a door opening rang out.

Gu He and Tang Huo’er turned their heads at the same time and saw Valley Master Tang Zhen and Xiao Yi Xian walking out.

Since the third floor of the Dou Technique Pavilion was soundproofed, they didn’t know what had happened outside, so Tang Huo’er explained everything.

Valley Master Tang Zhen looked at Wu Chen, who was being helped up by Elder Mu for healing, a flash of anger appearing in his aging eyes.

”Blind fool!”

”Once you’re healed, go back and reflect on your mistakes in seclusion!”

Wu Chen could only respond in a low voice. Then, as if feeling he had lost all face, he quickly had Elder Mu help him away, leaving the area.

Valley Master Tang Zhen glanced at the large crater on the ground smashed by the shockwaves of the attack and said to Gu He with an apologetic face,

”I really didn’t expect such a thing to happen... Sigh, Lord Gu He, I’m truly sorry that you encountered so many issues on your first visit to our Burning Flame Valley.”

Gu He shook his head. ”It’s fine. On the contrary, I should thank you, Valley Master, for your generous Legacy.”

Gu He naturally took the fair, tender hand of his young disciple, Xian’er, preparing to leave together.

The moment Gu He’s hand touched the back of Xiao Yi Xian’s hand, Tang Huo’er’s gaze immediately stuck to it.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she looked away in an instant.

...

Along the way, red leaves drifted down like a spreading mist.

This was a beautiful scenery unique to the Burning Flame Valley.

Regardless of the season, the entirety of the Burning Flame Valley was a vibrant red. The fire-attribute energy, which would be unbearably hot for ordinary people, lingered in every fluctuation of the air, making fire-attribute experts feel extremely comfortable.

Yet amidst this passion, Tang Huo’er somehow saw a hint of sadness.

Red to the extreme, it was like the blood droplets shed by a dying nightingale.

...

Gu He and Xiao Yi Xian had already returned to their respective rooms. Tang Huo’er was called to her father Valley Master Tang Zhen’s room.

The two sat face to face, but Tang Huo’er was exceptionally constrained.

Because her father, Valley Master Tang Zhen, had never sought her out for a private conversation so seriously before.

What was this for?

Before Tang Huo’er could figure it out, Valley Master Tang Zhen spoke.

”Do you like that Gu He?”

Valley Master Tang Zhen asked directly. His gaze possessed a sharpness unique to a father, making Tang Huo’er’s face flush with shame, her pounding heart having nowhere to hide.

”Father... I... I do like him.”

”If possible, I want to be with him! ...I hope for your permission, Father!” Tang Huo’er shouted out her thoughts in one breath.

Like a dazed little beast breaking through a taboo.

After Tang Huo’er said it, she clearly felt her heartbeat accelerating even more, and the atmosphere between father and daughter changed noticeably.

But she didn’t regret it! Strike while the iron is hot; to hesitate is to lose momentum!

What’s said is said!

Tang Huo’er raised her eyes and looked at her father.

”Father...”

”No!!” Valley Master Tang Zhen interrupted her sternly.

In the deep eyes on his majestic face, there was ten thousand percent disapproval.

...
