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

The walkthrough for Chapter 151 is on the agenda.After Xuan Kongzi announced the results, he ran to Gu He, holding something, and said with a smile:

”This is the reward for the Pill Assembly champion, a Soul Dou Technique, and you now have the qualification to compete to become a Giant of our Pill Tower in the future.”

He handed a scroll of a Soul Dou Technique to Gu He with great solemnity.

Xuan Kongzi expressed his gratitude to Gu He for discovering the Hall of Souls spy and presented him with several high-quality Monster Cores. After thanking him, he said very politely,

”...I truly wish to befriend you!”

He no longer even referred to himself as ”this old man.”

Xuan Kongzi was a representative figure of the Pill Tower, which was always known for its neutrality. This was the first time Xuan Kongzi had shown such a strong friendly intention toward someone.

Gu He nodded. ”Naturally.”

”Then I look forward to seeing your brilliance in three days!” said Xuan Kongzi.

After Gu He bid farewell to Xuan Kongzi, Cao Ying stopped him, her beautiful eyes blinking: ”Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”

Gu He smiled slightly. ”Then, see you in the Star Domain?”

Cao Ying curled her lips, her fingers playfully fiddling with the black storage ring clutched in her palm, and nodded.

”Fine, see you in the Star Domain.”

Gu He took Xiao Yi Xian back to the residence where they were staying.

...

Inside the residence.

Zi Yan and Feng Qing’er had been playing like crazy over the past few days.

Gu He thought that Feng Qing’er’s long-term Conquest Value should increase; he couldn’t just keep slacking off like this.

Previously, his conquest missions had gone with the flow without much detailed planning, but recently, the fluctuations in the target’s values were too small, so Gu He decided to ”take the initiative.”

The residence he had reserved was very large, belonging to a Dou Huang who enjoyed traveling everywhere; the owner said it was rarely lived in.

Gu He knocked on the door of Feng Qing’er’s room, and after a moment, she opened it.

She was wearing ordinary daily clothes and was quite curious about Gu He coming to find her.

”What’s wrong?”

Gu He said, ”I want to invite you to soak in a spiritual spring with me...” After a pause, he added, ”Just the two of us.”

Feng Qing’er’s hand holding the door was very fair, and she clearly tightened her grip on the doorframe unconsciously. ”Ah?”

”Really... really?” For Feng Qing’er, it was more of a pleasant surprise than shock.

On her slightly thin, oval face were a pair of brownish-purple eyes, like high-grade purple gems, focusing intently on Gu He.

”Okay! Are we leaving now?” she asked excitedly.

Gu He still had two days before going to the Star Domain, yet he had actually made time specifically to accompany her! The thought flashed through Feng Qing’er’s mind.

Gu He nodded and waited for her outside.

Feng Qing’er quickly changed her clothes. Originally, she wanted to apply a bit of makeup, but then she thought they were going to a spiritual spring, and maybe they would even soak together... then, a lone man and woman... oh no.

The spiritual spring gathered the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, so it would surely be warm. When the steam rose, it would definitely ruin her makeup, so she decided against it.

Feng Qing’er gave a soft laugh, her mind racing with thoughts. After getting ready, she quickly opened the door, not wanting to keep Gu He waiting.

”I’m ready!”

After closing the door, Feng Qing’er spun around in front of Gu He.

She had her hair tied in the same bun Gu He had seen when they first met, with two strands of hair hanging down like willow branches on both sides.

Her clothes were mainly in pink, blue, and white tones, giving a feeling like a fresh breeze. Her lower body’s blue-and-white gradient long skirt was printed with diamond patterns, making her look very light and elegant as she moved.

In her hand, Feng Qing’er also held a dark blue butterfly-shaped silk fan. With the breeze brushing her face and her fan gently swaying, she gave Gu He a bright, refreshing feeling that was completely different from their first meeting.

Gu He chuckled. ”You’re looking exceptionally formal today.”

”Isn’t that because I’m going out with you?” Feng Qing’er countered bluntly, a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

”I dressed up just for the two of us to see,” she said.

For some reason, Gu He felt very relaxed in his heart.

Perhaps besides becoming stronger, he should also take the time to experience the gentle moments of daily life.

The two of them set off.

...

Within the Pill Domain’s territory, there was a famous spiritual pool—the Azure Stream Spring.

After Gu He showed his reservation voucher, he led Feng Qing’er inside under the guidance of an attendant.

The two traversed a long wooden corridor. Outside the corridor was a courtyard with pavilions, terraces, spiritual trees, and potted plants, which the attendant was introducing in detail.

Feng Qing’er suddenly asked, ”So, is this spiritual spring for communal bathing or individual...?”

Before the attendant could react, Feng Qing’er had already quietly lowered her head, her face flushing red.

She had never imagined that someone as noble as her would actually ask such a question.

The attendant finally reacted. ”Both, we have both.”

A trace of anticipation unexpectedly flashed in Feng Qing’er’s eyes, as if a sliver of moonlight had fallen upon those brownish-purple gems.

The attendant continued, ”However, it seems the one you booked is separate.”

Feng Qing’er was stunned and shot a glance at the attendant.

What a way to pause mid-sentence!

She felt a slight sense of disappointment in her heart.

To be honest, despite her noble status, she knew very little about the affairs between men and women.

Perhaps it was also because, during these days spent playing with Zi Yan, she had encountered many people and things, and somehow a bit of yearning for love had sprouted.

Hmm... mainly... she wanted to see what Gu He’s physique was actually like.

Was it a barbaric look with lots of muscles? Or was it just right, like egg mixed with tofu?

Ahem, she seemed to be overthinking; her thoughts were wandering a bit.

And her proud nature would not allow her to reveal even a hint of her ”dirty” inner thoughts.

Wuwuwu, it’s so hard to hold it in!!

The corridor was long, and the two walked slowly. Not far away, there was a rockery and a small windmill. The windmill was turning slowly, and the flowing water rolled and washed over it, making a tinkling sound like a concerto, making one feel very comfortable for a moment.

Gu He looked at Feng Qing’er’s darting eyes and knew her little head must be thinking about something.

Could it be... a young girl’s private thoughts?

But since Feng Qing’er didn’t show it on her face, Gu He wouldn’t be so foolish as to expose her.

Suddenly, as they were passing a corner of the corridor, a disturbance occurred on the other side.

A man dressed in a green, ornate robe was arrogantly stepping on the belly of a man in white, shouting loudly,

”I told you not to be so arrogant! What are you acting so arrogant for!”

”I’m a Three-star Dou Zong, so what if you’re a Five-star Dou Zong? You still can’t beat me! My Puppet is equivalent to a Peak Dou Zong!”

A Puppet?

Gu He and Feng Qing’er paused. Feng Qing’er’s eyes darkened, a trace of doubt appearing on her face as she looked behind the man in the ornate green robe.

Behind him stood an old man in black with numb eyes. The old man emitted the thick aura of a Dou Zong, and he was indeed a Peak Dou Zong. But what truly surprised Feng Qing’er was—

This Puppet old man possessed the Bloodline aura of her Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!

This was a deceased clansman of her Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!
