The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Seeing this, Otto intervened, saying, "Linfei, don't be silly. What if this human little brother is a student of some reclusive master..."

Otto's words only made things worse, as the hot-blooded young Linfei was easily provoked. Now that Xiao Xuanyuan had challenged her, how could she swallow this insult?

"Alright, you're not some old master Bai Laoguai's student, right? Then I, Linfei, will accept this bet." Linfei ignored her teacher's words and resolutely accepted. Ever since she was accidentally tricked by Xiao Xuanyuan, she had been dissatisfied with this despicable imposter in front of her, who spouted nonsense and boasted without thinking, not even afraid of biting her tongue.

The two burly gatekeepers had been watching this scene closely. The bet between Xiao Xuanyuan and Lin Fei also attracted the attention of some people entering and leaving the Alchemist Guild. They all stopped in their tracks, and after learning the reason for the bet from others, they all looked at Xiao Xuanyuan as if he were a fool, whispering amongst themselves, "Is this Lin Fei an idiot? Does she really think third-grade pills are as common as cabbages? Can she just weave them together like that? And she dares to make a bet with the student of the renowned fourth-grade alchemist, Master Otto, of Black Rock City…"

"We'll show him how to walk out of the Alchemist's Guild crying, and obediently become a lowly servant..."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Lin Fei looked smug and waved her small, white fist at Xiao Xuanyuan in a provocative gesture.

Seeing the woman's idiotic behavior, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but shake his head. Although this woman was quite pretty, how could she be so brainless? After this trip, she would definitely have to pay the price for her foolish actions. The thought of having such a beautiful woman as his personal maid for three years was enough to make one's heart itch with desire.

Looking at the bill, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but scrutinize the woman in front of him. She was eighteen or nineteen years old, with rather full and proud breasts, a deep V-shaped cleavage, and perky, round buttocks. Her voluptuous and charming figure was pleasing to any man.

Seemingly noticing Xiao Xuanyuan's slightly gleaming gaze, Lin Fei quickly covered her chest with her hands, her cheeks flushing red, and said in a coquettish voice, "What are you looking at? I... I haven't lost yet!"

Seeing her like this, Xiao Xuanyuan deliberately made a drooling, lecherous face and said, "Just wait, you'll successfully become my personal maid. Hmm, three years. I think my personality can really enjoy this..."

After saying this, Xiao Xuanyuan turned around and entered the guild.

Only Linfei, her pretty face flushed and quite annoyed, stomped her foot. She turned to the old man beside her, then pointed at Xiao Xuanyuan who had gone inside, saying with embarrassment and anger, "Teacher, look at him..."

Otto had intended to dissuade the students from their antics, but Lin Fei wouldn't listen. The bet was already made, and there was no going back. He could only smile slightly and say, "You young people should handle your own affairs. This old man is too old to interfere." He then ignored Lin Fei and stepped into the Alchemist Guild.

Seeing that even her own mentor ignored her, Linfei could only stomp her foot and then followed her in.

As the three entered the Alchemist Guild one after another, some of the dull-witted alchemists who were about to leave decided to stay and watch the spectacle. After all, it was shocking news that a reckless young man who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere dared to challenge Lin Fei, the student of Master Otto, one of the top fourth-grade alchemists in Blackrock City. This news spread like wildfire, and soon, everyone in the Alchemist Guild building knew about it.

Xiao Xuanyuan was unaware of these matters and did not wish to concern himself with them. Upon entering the Alchemist Guild, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted towards him, making him feel quite refreshed.

"The Alchemist Guild is truly extraordinary," Xiao Xuanyuan muttered to himself before walking inside.

Inside the hall, there were quite a few people, all busy but quietly going about their business. And because of the commotion caused by Xiao Xuanyuan and Lin Fei's bet with Cheng Nuo at the Alchemist Guild entrance, many more people followed Xiao Xuanyuan and his companions in. Most of these people were alchemists, along with some Black Rock City dignitaries who had entered with status; a dozen or twenty people wasn't too many.

His gaze swept across the hall briefly, and after a slight brightening, Xiao Xuanyuan stepped towards a woman dressed in a light blue dress. She was talking to some young people who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old.

The woman in blue didn't look too old; she was probably eighteen or nineteen, in the prime of her youth. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and was quite charming.

"...What I just told you were some rules regarding the preparation of first-grade pills. Please remember them well, as the first-grade alchemist examination is extremely rigorous. If you fail the first time, you may have to wait several years before you can try again..." The woman in green seemed to be finishing, gesturing for the dozen or so young people in front of her to wait. The first-grade alchemist examination seemed to be about to begin!

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Xuanyuan walked straight up to her, patted her shoulder lightly, and asked, "Hello, I'm here to take the exam for a third-grade alchemist. May I ask how to do this?"

Xiao Xuanyuan remained silent until he spoke, which immediately startled the woman in green. Her face was filled with astonishment and disbelief as she exclaimed, "What? You want to take the exam to become a third-grade alchemist? How is that possible at your age?"

Not only was the woman in green startled, but the dozen or so young men beside her also looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with shock and disdain, their minds filled with doubt. Where did this hothead come from? Was he trying to be funny? Did he really think refining a third-grade pill was so easy, like cabbages growing on the street, something you could just whip up effortlessly? And judging by his age, he was only sixteen or seventeen. Was he trying to seduce the woman in green, a case of a younger man dating an older woman? So, he started spouting nonsense right from the start?

"Yes, I'm here to take the third-grade alchemist exam. Don't underestimate me because of my young age; refining third-grade pills is a piece of cake for me, I can do it effortlessly." Facing the beautiful woman in green before him, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a surge of goodwill and said with a smile, his tone brimming with confidence, giving off an aura of unwavering trust. Xiao Xuanyuan felt incredibly confident himself.

Chapter Forty-Nine Registration

Although Xiao Xuanyuan thought so, the others didn't think so. They believed that Xiao Xuanyuan was talking nonsense, daydreaming and still dreaming. Whether he had the ability or skill to do so was another matter. Moreover, it wasn't just the woman in green who thought so. The other dozen or so young people looked at Xiao Xuanyuan as if he were some kind of madman, thinking that he dared to come to the Alchemist Guild and talk nonsense. They thought he might be thrown out soon.

Seemingly finding it hard to believe, the woman in green cautiously asked Xiao Xuanyuan again, "You... sir, you're not joking, are you?" Unconsciously, Ya Han became much more respectful, changing her address from "you" to "you" and addressing him respectfully as "Mr. Xiao Xuanyuan."

"..." Xiao Xuanyuan was quite speechless, shaking his head slightly. Why didn't anyone believe him? Was he joking? But the person in front of him was a beautiful woman, so he couldn't be rude. He could only say, "Do I look like I'm joking? If I pass, do you need a boyfriend? Maybe I could..."

Seeing that Xiao Xuanyuan seemed to be flirting with women again, Lin Fei, who had come over, couldn't help but sneer, "What? Is our bet not over yet? You're here flirting with beauties again? Do you want to make a scene and have more people know about it?"

Upon seeing Otto and his companion approach, Xiao Xuanyuan turned around, nodded slightly to the old man, and said, "Master Otto, you heard your student Linfei say at the guild entrance that if I pass the assessment for a third-grade alchemist, Linfei will become my personal maid for three years."

Otto glanced around and saw that everyone's gaze was fixed on him, a mixture of doubt and respect. The title of a fourth-grade alchemist was indeed extraordinary. Things had escalated to this point, and Otto knew there was no turning back. If he admitted it in public, he would act as a witness, and the matter would be impossible to deny afterward. However, at this point, he couldn't simply deny it or let it go.

He shook his head helplessly, coughed a few times, and said, "Ahem, it is indeed true. My student Linfei just made a bet with this young man. If he can pass the third-grade alchemist exam and successfully advance to the third-grade alchemist level, Linfei will serve him as his maid for three years. Conversely, if he fails the exam, he will serve as my student Linfei as her servant for three years..."

"Oh..." Upon hearing the bet, everyone gasped in astonishment. Their gazes towards Xiao Xuanyuan held a complex mix of reactions: disbelief, admiration, and bewilderment. Undoubtedly, Ya Han believed Xiao Xuanyuan's words. After all, even Master Otto, one of Blackrock City's top fourth-grade alchemists, had spoken up; there was no doubt about it being true.

"Look, look, you all heard it with your own ears. Now, after this third-grade alchemist assessment, I'll show you my alchemy level." After saying this to everyone, Xiao Xuanyuan turned around and said to Ya Han, "Tell me, how do we conduct the alchemist assessment now?"

Her pretty face showed a mixture of fear and respect as she looked at Otto behind Xiao Xuanyuan. Otto understood that she was concerned about his status; after all, in this vast Alchemist Guild, he and Frank were the ones who called the shots. Xiao Xuanyuan had already offended his student, and by extension, him. If he didn't want to give Xiao Xuanyuan the Alchemist Examination, he could easily sabotage it behind the scenes. However, Otto wasn't that kind of person. He nodded slightly, as if in agreement.

Only then did Ya Han feel relieved. She went to the counter and took out a yellowed, antique parchment. Her delicate hand held a fountain pen engraved with the pattern of a medicine cauldron. She looked up at Xiao Xuanyuan, slightly lost in thought, and said, "Sir, please tell me your name, age, and your mentor's name. Ya Han needs to register."

Xiao Xuanyuan continued to gaze admiringly at the woman in green before him. To be honest, while she lacked Yun Yun's noble and graceful bearing and serene beauty, she was still quite pretty and possessed a certain charm that made her pleasing to the eye and instantly endearing. Regardless of what others thought, Xiao Xuanyuan found her rather intriguing. This woman had a gentle and refined personality, much like his mentor, Ruolin. Although she possessed no martial arts cultivation and showed no trace of an alchemist's aura, for some reason, Xiao Xuanyuan found her captivating.

"My name is Xiao Xuanyuan. As for my age?" After a moment's thought, Xiao Xuanyuan answered truthfully, "I'm sixteen. My mentor can be called Old Monster Bai."

"Hoo..." After Xiao Xuanyuan revealed his age, the surrounding onlookers gasped. They had initially thought he was at least eighteen or nineteen, already exceptionally talented. An eighteen or nineteen-year-old Dou Shi was a rare find, even in the Jia Ma Empire. But now, after Xiao Xuanyuan announced his actual age, everyone was stunned. They looked at him as if he were a monster. A sixteen-year-old Dou Shi! If word got out, the entire Jia Ma Empire would be in an uproar. Major powers would likely stop at nothing to win him over. A sixteen-year-old Dou Shi! If he continued to grow at this pace, he had a high chance of becoming a Dou Huang, one of the Jia Ma Empire's peak generation, before the age of thirty. Who wouldn't be eager to acquire him?

Looking at the dumbfounded Ya Han, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but reach out and touch her delicate hand holding the pen, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Is something strange?"

As if by instinct, after a slight shock, Ya Han blushed and withdrew her hand, saying shyly, "No, no, I just... I just..."

The onlookers weren't fools; they all understood what was going on. It seemed the young man was interested in the woman in green. Slightly recovering from their initial shock, their gazes towards Xiao Xuanyuan were now tinged with disdain. Some even sighed, thinking the young man was ambitious and exceptionally talented, perhaps even capable of passing the third-grade alchemist exam. However, most people didn't think much of Xiao Xuanyuan, believing him to be arrogant, ignorant, and lecherous.

"Well, after the third-grade alchemist assessment, I'll treat you to dinner. You absolutely must come." Xiao Xuanyuan grew increasingly fond of the woman in green before him and made an appointment with her in advance. However, at this moment, Lin Fei, who had been watching angrily from the side, came over and gently reprimanded the woman in green, saying, "This ignorant fool, with my teacher here, it doesn't matter whether he's registered or not. Just arrange for him to take the assessment."

Chapter Fifty Ya Han

Xiao Xuanyuan had no idea what was wrong with Lin Fei. Was she afraid of losing? Or did she want to win quickly? Was that why she was so impatient?

As a woman, Ya Han sensed tension in the air—an intuition born of rivalry and mutual affections. It was a woman's intuition, and she felt it was accurate. However, behind Lin Fei stood Otto, a teacher of considerable standing in Black Rock City, and her father, the city lord. Ya Han dared not offend her and quickly apologized, "Yes, yes, Miss Lin Fei, I'll arrange it immediately."

Xiao Xuanyuan was somewhat confused, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He simply told Ya Han to remember it, promising to treat her to a meal after the alchemist assessment. Lin Fei, standing nearby, glared at him angrily and cursed, "You lecherous bastard!" leaving Xiao Xuanyuan even more bewildered.

Only bystanders could vaguely discern the truth, secretly chuckling. Otto stroked his white beard, his eyes slightly narrowed, a smile playing on his lips. He was Linfei's teacher, spending every day with her; how could he not know his student's temperament? He thought to himself: Could it be that Linfei has taken a liking to this young man? I think it's highly likely. Judging from her angry expression, she's like an enraged lioness, secretly jealous…

After Lin Fei's reprimand, Ya Han dared not speak to Xiao Xuanyuan any longer. After busying herself for a while, Ya Han finally said to him, "Um, Mr. Xiao..."

"Just call me Xuanyuan." Facing the beautiful woman before him, Xiao Xuanyuan revealed his pearly white teeth. Coupled with his unique confidence and dashing demeanor, Ya Han was momentarily stunned.

Under Lin Fei's seemingly murderous, yet subtly hostile, gaze, Ya Han awkwardly snapped out of her daze, quickly lowered her chin slightly, and continued, blushing, "Mr. Xuanyuan, have you ever received a professional badge from the Alchemist Guild before?"

"I've never been before. This is my first time at the Alchemist Guild, and I never expected to run into such a beautiful woman like you. It's truly an honor." Xiao Xuanyuan was completely unaware of Lin Fei's reaction, assuming that she was dragging Ya Han into it because she disliked him. Finally, Xiao Xuanyuan asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

"I...I am called Ya-Han..." Ya-Han still kept her chin slightly lowered, seemingly having lost her usual composure.

"Ya Han, Ya Han, that's a really nice name. Ya Han, then you can just call me Xuan Yuan. Stop calling me 'Master' all the time, it's hard to pronounce." Xiao Xuan Yuan nodded slightly, then suddenly had an idea. He took out two white jade bottles from his storage ring and handed them to Ya Han on the table in front of him: "These are two bottles of Youth Preservation Pills, which can help women maintain their youthful appearance and beauty."

"Ah... I can't accept something so valuable!" Ya-han quickly refused.

Xiao Xuanyuan gently grasped her soft, jade-like hand, forcefully placing the two white jade bottles into her delicate grasp, and said rather forcefully, "These are for you, you must accept them, otherwise... when I become a third-grade alchemist..."

Lin Fei, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. Was this guy here for the Alchemist Guild's test or to pick up women? How dare he be so blatant? She stepped forward, pulled Xiao Xuanyuan away, and glared at him angrily, saying, "You bastard, are you even going to take the test? All you do is play around with women here!"

Xiao Xuanyuan was slightly taken aback, not understanding what had gotten into this girl, but he still said, "An assessment? Why not an assessment? Are you that afraid of losing to me?"

"Losing my foot!" Linfei was furious, her hands crossed in front of her full breasts.

"Ahem, ahem, I say, can you two stop fooling around? You're practically tearing the Alchemist Guild apart!" Otto, unable to bear it any longer, coughed awkwardly. On one hand, he was secretly worried for his student Lin Fei; on the other hand, he also felt that Xiao Xuanyuan had gone too far by daring to abduct Ya Han, the receptionist of the Alchemist Guild, in front of so many people in the hall.

"Hey Otto, you old bastard, you haven't been here for days, and now you're here to tear down the Alchemist Guild?"

Just as the hall was in chaos, a frail figure approached from a distance. He appeared to be younger than Otto, and his energy was exceptionally high. Notably, on the cuffs of his alchemist's robes, just like Otto's, there were four pale silver ripples above the cauldron emblem.

"Hey, Frankland, you seem to be in much better spirits these past few days. How's it going? Has Snow Fairy arrived yet?" Otto turned around with a smile and greeted the old man.

"This is her first assessment. She needs to prepare a little. She'll be here in a bit." Frank walked over and noticed that there were many more people in the hall than usual. Among them, everyone seemed to be looking at Xiao Xuanyuan and Lin Fei. He asked curiously.

"What could have happened? It's just that a young man is taking the exam to become a third-grade alchemist and made a bet with my student..." Otto then briefly recounted the story.

"Tsk tsk tsk, young man, you're really fearless! It's good to have ambition, but you shouldn't be too ambitious, lest you stumble and fall." Frank looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with amazement and said with a smile.

Upon seeing what appeared to be another important figure, the people around him greeted him. Xiao Xuanyuan had Ya Han, who was blushing and bowing her head, put away the pills first. Then, he looked at him with curiosity, stepped forward, and extended his hand to Frank, saying in a friendly manner, "Hello, Master Frank, my name is Xiao Xuanyuan. Please give me your guidance during the assessment later."

Faced with Xiao Xuanyuan's friendly gesture, Frank nodded slightly, but did not extend his hand. He merely looked at Xiao with a puzzled and curious gaze, wondering what could give this sixteen-year-old boy such confidence to dare to speak so arrogantly.

Faced with the awkwardly outstretched hand, Xiao Xuanyuan quickly withdrew it, then said to Otto beside him, "Master Otto, when will the assessment begin? I'm getting impatient."

Otto glanced at Ya Han on the counter, then at Xiao Xuanyuan, before finally saying to Frank, "Frank, are you almost done preparing? Let's take Brother Xuanyuan inside."

Frank glanced at everyone in the hall, nodded slightly, and said, "Everything is indeed ready. Now we're just missing Xue Mei. Let's wait a little longer."

Seeing that there was still some free time, Xiao Xuanyuan ignored the people around him and returned to the counter. He took advantage of this time to find out Ya Han's address and talk to her. He thought he should start pursuing women early and not let such a gentle woman slip away.

Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night, so my head is a bit foggy and I've lost track of time.

The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Chapter 51 Preparing for the Assessment

Despite Lin Fei's murderous gaze, Xiao Xuanyuan remained unconcerned, continuing his casual conversation with Ya Han. Perhaps out of concern for Lin Fei, Ya Han kept her head down, avoiding eye contact and refusing to respond enthusiastically to Xiao Xuanyuan, much to his chagrin.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, a figure walked in from outside the Alchemist Guild. A moment later, the woman came up to Frank and said to him, "I'm sorry, teacher, I'm late."

Hearing the commotion behind him, Xiao Xuanyuan turned his head slightly to look over.

Not far behind him stood a woman with a slender figure, her eyes as clear as a cold spring on a snow-capped mountain, a delicate face, slender eyebrows, and a graceful figure. She wore a tight-fitting silver robe, the silver clothing contrasting with her warm jade-like skin, giving her an undeniable, unique, metallic, and icy charm. What surprised Xiao Xuanyuan the most was that this silver-robed woman actually had long, waist-length silver hair.

This silver color wasn't the pale silver that mutated due to some disease; instead, her hair was as soft as a waterfall of silver threads, flowing gently, which gave the woman in the silver robe a strange attraction to men.

Upon seeing the woman in silver robes, a hint of amazement flashed across Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes. Her cold, delicate voice was like the clear, ethereal sound of snow-capped rocks striking each other on a snow-covered mountain, quite melodious. Her ethereal temperament, combined with her long, soft silver hair, made it impossible for the man to look away.

Upon seeing such a beautiful woman, Xiao Xuanyuan was about to step forward and ask her what was going on when, unexpectedly, Ya Han placed her soft, jade-like hand on his and whispered, "I'll wait for you!" After saying this, she immediately withdrew her hand, and the blush on her beautiful cheeks spread to her delicate white earlobes. Although she lowered her chin, she could not hide her shy and beautiful charm.

Since he had made a promise to the beauty, he couldn't possibly break it. Xiao Xuanyuan glanced around a few times, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking in their direction for the time being, he boldly reached out and grasped her soft, warm hand. Then he brought his cheek close to hers and said, "Then we'll meet there!"

"Mmm," Ya Han tried to pull her hand back, but it was already firmly held by Xiao Xuanyuan's strong hand, so she could only nod shyly.

"What are you doing!" Lin Fei, who was standing to the side, suddenly turned around and saw this scene, and glared angrily at the two people's clasped hands.

The sight of that shrew made Ya Han's heart tremble slightly. She quickly pulled her hand back forcefully, lowered her chin, and stammered awkwardly, "I...I..."

Xiao Xuanyuan was quite annoyed. This woman had ruined his plans time and time again. Did she really think he was someone to be trifled with? He said in a slightly angry voice, "What? Didn't you see that Yahan agreed to be my girlfriend? What are you glaring at me for? What's it to you?"

"Hmph, you're too happy now. Third-grade pills aren't so easy to refine. Once you become my servant, you won't be as free as you are now. I didn't expect you to still have the leisure to play around with women here? You're really courting death!" Lin Fei glanced at Xiao Xuanyuan and continued to attack him.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan was also quite troubled. He had offended this woman in front of him, and she was always intentionally or unintentionally going against him, trying to embarrass him. If this were not the Alchemist Guild, and not within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Xuanyuan would have liked to execute this woman on the spot! It really infuriated him!

"Hmph, don't worry, I'll disappoint you!" Xiao Xuanyuan said coldly.
