"Indeed, the Soul Nourishing Pill can rejuvenate your soul, helping you advance further. It will ensure you win the bet easily tomorrow."
"But remember, once you take my pill, you're mine~~"
Gu Changqing chuckled lightly.
"Well, in that case... I'd rather not."
Lin Fei quickly pulled her hand back, blushing with embarrassment.
"Are you sure? If you refuse, I might just give it to someone else."
As Gu Changqing spoke, he maneuvered the pill towards Xue Mei.
"No way!"
Lin Fei panicked and snatched the pill back, exclaiming, "You can't give it to anyone else. It's mine now! I mean, it's already been given to me, so you can't take it back. No second thoughts!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Fei stamped her foot in embarrassment, her face flushed as though she feared her beloved might be taken away, quickly claiming her territory while trying to hide her feelings.
"Hahaha."
"Hehe, who knew Lin Fei would be so protective."
Ao Tuo and Fu Lan Ke laughed heartily, seeing that Lin Fei and the mysterious youth were becoming friends.
Xue Mei also giggled behind her hand, though a hint of regret and disappointment flashed in her eyes as she glanced at Gu Changqing. She wondered if she could withstand a direct confession from him using this pill.
With Gu Changqing demonstrating the creation of a sixth-grade pill, Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo dared not show off in front of him. Instead, they approached him respectfully, seeking advice on various alchemical techniques.
Gu Changqing offered casual guidance, then took Lin Fei to refine the sixth-grade pill, helping her advance further.
Seeing Gu Changqing lead Lin Fei away, Xue Mei's mouth fell open in disbelief.
"Oh no, I'm going to lose to Lin Fei. What should I do? Do I really have to find a random boyfriend and give away my first kiss?"
Panicked, Xue Mei buried herself in studying alchemy, desperately cramming knowledge.
"What? Lin Fei has been taken away by an outsider and even harassed in public?"
"Who is this person? I'll have him executed!"
At the city lord's mansion, Lin Fei's father, was enraged upon hearing that his precious daughter had been harassed and abducted. He immediately vowed to kill Gu Changqing.
"Lord, the person claims to be from Wutan City, from the Xiao family, named Gu Changqing. However, from what we know, the Xiao family in Wutan City only has a few old members and their patriarch, Xiao Zhan, who are high-level Dou Grandmaster. This young man is neither from the Xiao family nor a high-level Dou Grandmaster. We suspect he may be using a false name."
General Kent, who reported the news, relayed everything he knew.
"What? Wutan City, Xiao family, Gu Changqing... Ah, I suddenly have an epiphany. I might be on the verge of a breakthrough. It would be better to wait until I've broken through before dealing with him. For now, leave this matter alone."
The City Lord quickly wiped his brow, although there was no sweat, and said hurriedly.
As a Dou King, the city lord had traveled to the Monster Mountain Range when Gu Changqing was breaking through. Although he had not met Gu Changqing directly, he had heard some of their exchanges.
If this young troublemaker was truly as formidable as rumored, it was best not to disturb him. Besides, his daughter, with her potential as a Dou Spirit and Dou King, could benefit greatly from associating with such a powerful individual.
Having given his instructions, the city lord retreated to seclusion.
Meeting Gu Changqing personally was out of the question; he only needed to wait for Gu Changqing to visit his daughter.
Boom!
"I've done it! I've really done it?!"
A joyful exclamation came from the alchemy room as Lin Fei, with her well-endowed figure, opened her eyes in amazement.
She felt she had made a significant breakthrough, advancing two stars from a two-star Dou Zhe to a four-star Dou Zhe, with her soul power surging refreshingly.
"Hmm, not bad, but the cultivation method is a bit too low-level. The breakthrough feels almost insignificant."
Gu Changqing opened his eyes, commenting indifferently.
"Hmph, you bad guy! The cultivation method I use was specifically chosen by my master; it's advanced, not low-level!"
Lin Fei glared at Gu Changqing with irritation.
"Oh? Still doubting your boyfriend? Time to teach you a lesson!"
With that, Gu Changqing pulled Lin Fei into his embrace and kissed her passionately.
"Hmm!"
Lin Fei trembled, trying to resist, but Gu Changqing grabbed her round, fragrant rear, making her lose all strength.
When Gu Changqing and Lin Fei emerged from the alchemy room, Lin Fei continued to strike Gu Changqing in frustration.
"Pervert! How dare you do that to me! I'll kill you!"
Recalling Gu Changqing's actions in the alchemy room, Lin Fei nearly wanted to bang her head against the wall, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the floor.
Not only was she toyed with, but she also had to reciprocate. It was the most humiliating experience of her life, leaving her hands weak.
"Alright, go rest now. You still have a bet with your friend later."
Gu Changqing clicked his tongue, gently comforting the blushing Lin Fei with a hug.
Lin Fei's figure was truly impressive, a testament to her use of enhancement potions, with a delightful scent.
"You jerk, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Lin Fei pushed Gu Changqing away angrily and stomped off.
"Gu Changqing, could I ask you a few questions about alchemy?"
Seizing the moment while Lin Fei was away, Xue Mei approached Gu Changqing, her silver robe fluttering. She asked timidly.
"Oh? What questions do you have?"
Gu Changqing looked at the elegant Xue Mei with interest.
Xue Mei, with her slightly disheveled hair and faint blush, had clearly stayed up all night studying alchemy. Despite her fatigue, she maintained her enchanting charm, with a hint of weariness adding a unique allure.
Her delicate face, silver hair, cool demeanor, and slender figure, adorned in a silver robe, made her appear both tall and alluring. The metallic sheen of her attire and her smooth, jade-like skin complemented each other, giving Xue Mei a distinct and captivating elegance.
