Douluo Continent: Ice Phoenix Rebuilds Her Skills and Enrolls in Tianshui Academy

Chapter 33 Playing Hard to Get: The Great Cohabitation Operation

Dugu Yan subconsciously retorted:

"That can't be!"

"I know my own body very well. There have been no adverse effects whatsoever. Whether it's cultivating soul power or daily training and combat, I've never encountered any problems!"

Although she had a good impression of Chu Han, Dugu Yan, as the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, was confident in her understanding of the Dao of Poison.

Even chronic poisons can cause mild nerve paralysis and affect the body clinically. For Chu Han to say that Dugu Yan was poisoned so readily seems a bit like a publicity stunt.

Chu Han didn't say anything more.

From Dugu Yan's perspective, even Poison Douluo had never mentioned the toxins in her body, so how could she believe Chu Han's one-sided story?

In situations like these, explanations often seem inadequate.

But it doesn't matter, Chu Han has his own way of fighting.

Chu Han simply smiled slightly, "Miss Dugu Yan, I know this may be hard for you to believe, but I hope you can remember my concern for you. I just hope you are in good health and have a happy life."

"As for the fact that the toxins in your body don't make you feel unwell... actually, many diseases are too late by the time they are discovered. It's much easier and less harmful to remove them when they are just starting out."

Chu Han took out a white porcelain bottle from his storage soul tool and handed it to Dugu Yan.

"Miss Dugu Yan, these are some antidote pills that I made in my spare time. They might be of some help to you. I believe that with your understanding of poisons, you will be able to make the right judgment."

"I hope I'm wrong, and that you're in good health."

After Chu Han finished speaking, he turned to look at Ye Lingling.

"Miss Lingling, since this is our second meeting, I don't have much to give you. Here's a bottle of beauty pills, which I'll give you as a gift."

Chu Han then took out a white porcelain bottle and gave it to Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling accepted it in a daze.

Without a second thought, Chu Han turned and took his leave.

"I have other matters to attend to. I hope Miss Ye Lingling and Miss Dugu Yan have a pleasant time."

As Chu Han left, Dugu Yan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a sound.

Only after Chu Han left did Dugu Yan say with some annoyance:

"Did my attitude make him a little angry?"

Dugu Yan focused her gaze on the white porcelain bottle in her hand, feeling a mix of emotions.

She opened the wooden stopper and smelled a fresh herbal scent.

"It tastes like houttuynia cordata and licorice..."

It is indeed an herb used for detoxification.

But she was absolutely certain that she hadn't been poisoned at all!

Ye Lingling opened the porcelain bottle and smelled a slightly sweet scent.

"It looks like they added licorice?"

Dugu Yan put the porcelain bottle away, still somewhat doubtful, and unable to make up her mind.

……

Chu Han left.

They left very decisively and cleanly, without any hesitation.

Within the sea of consciousness.

Hyotei was getting anxious.

"Hey, Chu Han, didn't you say that the green-haired girl's grandfather was a Title Douluo and that you wanted his help? You're leaving so decisively now, but that girl clearly doesn't believe you!"

"Are you angry? Don't act impulsively! Go back quickly, and prove the effectiveness of your pills, won't that solve the problem?"

Xue Di explained:

"Bing'er, don't worry, Chu Han must have his reasons for doing this."

Chu Han nodded slightly.

"Xue'er is right, I deliberately left so decisively."

The saying goes, "Those who offer unsolicited kindness are either treacherous or thieves."

Even if Chu Han is handsome, his inexplicable fawning and overly eager behavior, which suggests a clear ulterior motive, will still arouse suspicion.

After all, Dugu Yan isn't stupid.

Chu Han's clean and decisive departure, appearing to have no ulterior motives, is designed to convince Dugu Yan that he simply cares about her. This is a classic example of playing hard to get.

and.

Instead of rushing to help others, why not wait for them to come to you for help?

The two may seem to have the same result, but in reality they are quite different.

The key lies in people's hearts.

Chu Han knew in his heart that this time it was probably a sure thing.

If Dugu Yan simply threw away the medicine he gave her, or just left it there as a decoration without even glancing at it, then it only shows that Dugu Yan was too stupid, and Chu Han shouldn't take the blame for that.

……

After returning to Tianshui College.

Chu Han entered the dormitory and used his mental energy to scan the room, confirming that no one was in the next cubicle.

Then he summoned the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor.

They displayed the purchased goods and fed them to the two northernmost kings.

"Little Scorpion, you don't fight, so eating just a little bit should be enough to meet your body's basic energy needs. Why are you eating so much? I feel like you're going to eat up all my savings."

Hyotei's mouth was bulging, stuffed full of pastries.

She rolled her eyes. "Chu Han, just say so if you can't afford to support me!"

"I'll go out and earn money myself!"

Chu Han's face twitched slightly.

Go out and earn money yourself...

To be honest, the only way he could imagine Hyotei making money was probably by robbing and pillaging.

Oh, they can even use entrapment to enforce the law.

With her adorable appearance, she attracts a group of pedophile men, then takes these scumbags into the alley for a "humanitarian makeover."

Finally, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, they used the remaining assets of the scumbags to support a cute little girl.

"To be honest, I really can't afford to raise them anymore."

"Even a hero can be brought down by a single penny! But it's alright, every Title Douluo has unimaginable wealth, and people will be rushing to give me money right away."

"All those pills I have piled up in my inventory are actually glittering gold soul coins!"

Fortunately, poverty is only temporary.

"Little Scorpion, Snow Maiden, I'll go to the most luxurious clothing store in Heaven Dou City and have someone make clothes for you tailor-made!"

Chu Han held a grudge against it.

I missed the chance to cosplay as the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor figures when they were younger than their original size, but after my Soul Power level increased, the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor suddenly grew bigger.

This made Chu Han regret his actions.

Every boy probably harbors a fantasy of raising a daughter! Even if it's not a real daughter, the chance to indulge in that fantasy is something to behold!

"Buzz~"

Chu Han's mental energy detected someone approaching.

He returned Hyotei and Yuki to the contract space.

Then, he swept the trash on the table into his storage ring.

With a creak, the door opened.

When Shui Bing'er saw Chu Han, who was already in the dormitory, a hint of shyness appeared on her originally calm face.

Although they each have their own rooms, it doesn't change the fact that they live together.

This was still a bit of a shock for Shui Bing'er, who had received a conservative aristocratic education since childhood.

Her long eyelashes fluttered gently as she greeted him.

"Captain, hello there~"

Chu Han smiled and nodded:

"Hello, Shui Bing'er."
