Chapter 38 After all, I'm so handsome
1200 Fate Points, and in the blink of an eye, only 50 points remain.
However, this feeling of instantly boosting one's strength...
It felt very similar to that instantaneous feeling—exciting and thrilling.
Gu Yu felt as light as a swallow, with sharp hearing and eyesight, and his whole body was full of power. It was as if he could hear a mosquito humming "Eighteen Touches" as it flew by.

After a while, there were two soft knocks on the door.
As soon as the door opened, a familiar, delicate fragrance wafted out, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.
As expected, it was Shen San Niang.
As soon as the door closed, Gu Yu hugged her tightly, one hand slipping inside her clothes.
"Don't!"
Shen San Niang quickly broke free.
"It was Madam who sent me."
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised: "Uh? She asked you to come over?"
Shen San Niang sighed: "Actually, Madam has already realized the nature of my relationship with you."
Gu Yu couldn't help but laugh and ask, "What's our relationship?"
Shen Sanniang couldn't help but pinch Gu Yu, saying angrily, "You brat, you've taken advantage of me and now you don't acknowledge it? What do you take me for, a slut like Lin Xian'er?"
"How could that be?" Gu Yu pulled her into his arms again and said softly, "You are my woman, Gu Yu's woman. Lin Xian'er is just a worn-out shoe. It's no loss to throw her away."
"Heh, so you finally admit you slept with her?"
"Uh, it's a friend of mine..."
How did I accidentally get myself into this mess?
"Alright, stop making excuses. Madam sent me here to tell you about the Blue Scorpion's fighting style, so you can be prepared..."
Shen San Niang gave a detailed explanation of the characteristics of the Blue Scorpion's moves.
Finally, they took out a pill and a small copper tube about the thickness of a thumb and three inches long.
"This is a detoxifying pill personally prepared by the lady. If you take it in advance, it can neutralize most of the rare poisons in the martial arts world."
"This small copper tube contains three Ice Soul Silver Needles. Pressing the mechanism at the end will fire them. Once they hit, the opponent will feel a chill run through their body and their body will stiffen."
Gu Yu sighed, "It is hardest to repay the kindness of a beautiful woman. Princess Bai Feng's intentions are truly commendable, and I am deeply grateful."
Shen Sanniang chuckled and said, "You should say these things in front of Madam in the future. I won't relay them for you. Alright, I have to go back to my room now."
"Since we're already here, why don't we..."
"No!" Shen Sanniang hurriedly pushed Gu Yu away. "You have a big battle tomorrow, you can't waste your energy."
"But I feel terrible right now, and that will affect my mood tomorrow. I promise, just gently, just a little bit, just a little rub..."
After an unknown amount of time, Shen San Niang walked out of the room with a flushed face.
Damn it, believing this brat is worse than believing in ghosts.
The weather was sunny in the morning.
The snow is beginning to melt, and the breath of spring is getting closer.
There is a small hill in Qilipo, east of the city, with a grove of trees on it.
Gu Yu arrived as promised.
As soon as they entered the grove, a mocking voice rang in their ears: "As expected of a novice, he doesn't even understand the principle of not entering a forest."
Gu Yu laughed and said, "Back then, the Five Poison Child also hid in the forest, but didn't he still die at my hands?"
"You are indeed quite capable to have killed the Five Poison Child. Unfortunately, you seem to have forgotten one thing."
"Oh?"
"The godmother of the Five Poison Boy is the Great Joyful Bodhisattva."
"Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"
"Hehe, the Great Joyful Bodhisattva is notoriously protective of her own. Aren't you afraid she'll devour you whole?"
"Turns out she likes short ones, too bad, mine are a bit long."
Blue Scorpion: "..."
Why do I feel like I can't have a normal conversation with this guy?
"Ugh!"
Blue Scorpion sighed and slowly walked out.
Her walking posture was quite beautiful; her slender waist resembled a graceful water snake, full of rhythm.
With her fiery red lips, she exuded a unique allure.
"I must admit, you're a very special man. But I wonder if you're genuinely confident, or just naive and overconfident?"
Gu Yu looked her up and down a few times and laughed, "All I know is that I lost two fat rabbits."
"rabbit?"
Blue Scorpion was stunned for a moment.
She was clearly talking about a very serious topic, a topic involving life and death.
Why is this guy bringing up fat rabbits for no reason?
But the next moment, she suddenly realized.
Gu Yu said, "You must have stolen them. You hid them inside your clothes. Don't think I didn't know."
Blue Scorpion couldn't help but laugh: "So, you think I stole your fat rabbit, and you want it back?"
Gu Yu nodded seriously: "Yes!"
Blue Scorpion chuckled sweetly, "That's right, the fat rabbit is with me. Let's see if you... have the ability to take it."
Gu Yu smiled and said, "Of course I'll take back what's mine, but before I do, I'd like to ask you a question."
"ask!"
"How could a remarkable person like you possibly like that grotesque, half-human, half-ghost fellow?"
Blue Scorpion said sweetly, "Are you jealous?"
"I asked around for a friend."
"That friend of yours, isn't it?"
Gu Yu sighed. "Fine, I was jealous, so I killed Yi Ku because he was my rival in love. That's fair, isn't it?"
The blue scorpion narrowed its eyes, which gleamed with a ghostly blue light.
"No wonder Yi Ku lost to you; your silver tongue is as sharp as a weapon."
"Hehe, you flatter me, my beauty! Would you like to witness my silver tongue?"
Blue Scorpion said meaningfully, "Wait until you can beat me before we talk."
"good!"
Gu Yu was very decisive.
In response, he drew his sword.
Like a bolt of lightning.
Back at the teahouse, Hua Mantian didn't even have time to react before Gu Yu snatched the sword from his hand.
Therefore, even a top-tier martial arts master would likely find it difficult to dodge his sword strike.
But Blue Scorpion is not a top-tier expert.
Her martial arts skills were even slightly stronger than "Green Demon Hand" Yi Ku, making her a top-tier expert.
As soon as Gu Yu moved, she seemed to transform into a nimble snake, twisting her slender waist and suddenly disappearing, causing Gu Yu's sword to miss its mark.
Blue Scorpion's slender waist is far more flexible than that of an average person, allowing her to make dodges and attacks from angles that are unimaginable to ordinary people in battle. She is slippery and makes it impossible for others to defend against her.
Gu Yu was naturally aware of this.
Therefore, after he thrust out his sword, he abruptly shifted his body to the side by one step.
As expected, a blue light almost grazed his clothes.
That is the weapon that made Blue Scorpion famous—the Scorpion Tail Whip!
The next moment, the whip tail, like a living scorpion, curled back and stung Gu Yu's shoulder.
Gu Yu raised his sword to block, and at the same time leaped into the air, avoiding the attack.
"call!"
The blue scorpion also took to the air, its scorpion tail whipping straight up, coiling around like a snake.
"clang!"
Gu Yu swung his sword to block, using the momentum to land on the ground.
Unexpectedly, the blue scorpion seemed to be even faster than him. As soon as Gu Yu landed, the scorpion's tail whip swept over him again.
Before Gu Yu could react, the whip's tail swept across his ribs, tearing a long gash in his clothes.
"Um?"
The blue scorpion retracted its scorpion tail whip and frowned.
She knew very well that the whip should have pierced into her flesh, and the barbs on the whip would have pulled out a patch of blood and flesh.
However, it does not.
She suddenly understood and couldn't help but say, "I heard you were wearing invulnerable golden armor. It seems the rumors are true. No wonder you dared to come to the appointment."
Gu Yu laughed and said, "That's right! Your scorpion tail whip is so terrifying, how could I not take some precautions?"
Blue Scorpion: "Looks like next time I'll have to stab your face; you never have any golden armor on your face."
Gu Yu asked, "Can you really do that?"
Blue Scorpion snorted coldly, "Why wouldn't I do it?"
Gu Yu touched his face and revealed a handsome smile.
"After all, I'm so handsome!"
