Murderous intent!

Hu Xiaobei shuddered because he sensed a wave of murderous intent!

After his mouth twitched slightly, Hu Xiaobei turned his head and whispered, "Um… are you guys changed yet?"

While saying this, Hu Xiaobei slightly lifted his head and continued to steal glances at their chests!

"Little bastard, still looking!"

Noticing Hu Xiaobei's straightforward gaze, they were somewhat speechless and huffed at him!

"Uh…"

With a dry laugh, Hu Xiaobei quickly shifted his gaze…

"Xiaobei, what was the deal with that cat just now?"

"Exactly!"

Upon hearing their question, Hu Xiaobei briefly explained what had happened!

After listening to Hu Xiaobei's account, Murong Qingqing suddenly spoke up, "Xiaobei, wasn't that cat one of your helpers?"

Glancing at Murong Qingqing, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose, "This… Sister, you really have a wild imagination!"

"Wild imagination? Why do I feel it's quite possible! You always get along so well with animals!"

Hearing Murong Qingqing's explanation, the three of them also felt it made sense!

Hu Xiaobei's mouth twitched, and at that moment, he truly felt he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

…

Two hours later, Hu Xiaobei returned to Xiaohe Village after parting with them!

Upon reaching the entrance of the village, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but curiously look ahead because he saw many people gathered there!

"Is there some event today?"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei prepared to go over and check it out!

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei noticed that a yangko dance troupe had appeared!

Right then, under his aunt Han Xueyao's lead, everyone marched robustly towards him.

A confused Hu Xiaobei quickly asked, "Auntie, what's going on here?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's curious inquiry, Han Xueyao chuckled and explained, "What's going on? We are welcoming our hero back home, of course! Xiaobei, you're now our village's hero!"

"Hero?"

Seeing that Hu Xiaobei still didn't quite understand, Han Xueyao continued, "We've all heard how our vegetables and fruits sold out, so everyone in the village is very happy! That's why they organized spontaneously to celebrate properly!"

"You all knew about this?"

Laughing heartily, Han Xueyao continued to explain, "Yes, now our city's forums and television stations are all competing to report it! How could we not know!"

At that moment, Han Xueyao was really very happy!

Because she knew that both the vegetables and fruits had gained fame!

In the future, the sales were definitely going to be even better!

As Han Xueyao happily imagined the future, many people standing beside her excitedly praised,

"Xiaobei, you truly are our village's hero now!"

"That's right!"

"Our village really must rely completely on you from now on!"

Hearing their excited praises, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose!

Seeing Hu Xiaobei looking a bit nervous, they burst into laughter, previously worried that Hu Xiaobei would become arrogant after becoming famous, only now realizing they were overthinking, for he obviously remained the same Hu Xiaobei with a thin skin as in the past.

Honestly, the women of Xiaohe Village had truly watched the village change bit by bit, thus everyone was completely convinced by Hu Xiaobei to the utmost!

...

"Master Xiaobei is just awesome!"

"That's right!"

"Yes!"

Seeing how popular Hu Xiaobei was, many tourists visiting Xiaohe Village couldn't help but exclaim...

"Alright, let's head back to the village first!"

Seeing that his presence had directly caused a congestion, Hu Xiaobei quickly spoke up!

"Okay! Then let's head back to the village first!"

Just like that, Hu Xiaobei and everyone boldly headed straight for the village...

At the village committee, after glancing at everyone, Hu Xiaobei said, "Now that our village's vegetables and fruits have entered the market, I'm planning to open more branches! So now, our production must keep up. Do you have confidence in this?"

"Haha, Xiaobei, don't worry about it!"

"Yeah, production isn't a problem. We will definitely go all out!"

"Exactly!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei suggest increasing production, they all confidently patted their chests promising to do so!

They knew that the fruits and vegetables were selling well, so even if it meant working harder, they intended to increase production as much as possible!

"That's good!"

With a light laugh, Hu Xiaobei chatted with them for a few more moments before letting them get back to work!

After everyone agreed and eagerly left...

After everyone had left, Hu Xiaobei looked at Han Xueyao with her cheeks slightly flushed and, with a playful wink, said, "Auntie, did you miss me?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's blunt inquiry, Han Xueyao's face instantly turned scarlet, "You little bastard, let's talk business now! Stop messing around!"

"Heh, heh, alright then!"

Seeing that Hu Xiaobei was slightly more serious, Han Xueyao quickly asked, "Little bastard, I heard earlier that you were going up against that well-known 'Yongqiang Brand'. Isn't it a bit early for us to confront them now?"

Previously, Han Xueyao was aware of the province-famous 'Yongqiang Brand'!

She knew they would inevitably face off, but it seemed a bit too soon now given that their own strength was lacking quite a bit!

Sensing Han Xueyao's nervousness, Hu Xiaobei explained, "Auntie, there is no such thing as too early or too late! If our side catches fire, we'll eventually have to face them anyway, so a day earlier or later really doesn't make much of a difference!"

"That... That's also true!"

Han Xueyao thought for a moment and gently nodded!

Competitors are natural enemies!

This logic Han Xueyao understood very clearly, so she knew the other party wouldn't just watch her grow stronger!

As soon as they gained a bit of fame, 'Yongqiang Brand' would definitely start aggressively suppressing them.

So, it was okay to make things clear now; they would eventually have to reach this point anyway!

Seeing that Han Xueyao was no longer so tense, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "Auntie, you also know, our fruits and vegetables taste much better than those of 'Yongqiang Brand,' so even if we're up against them, we don't need to be afraid! Because we won't lose!"

Before the breakthrough, Hu Xiaobei was somewhat intimidated by the well-known 'Yongqiang Brand', but now Hu Xiaobei had broken through the bottleneck, this breakthrough had qualitatively leaped his Nine Wood True Qi, so Hu Xiaobei really wasn't scared at all!

Feeling Hu Xiaobei's confidence, Han Xueyao beamed a smile, "That's true, with you here, I'm not afraid of anyone!"

"How beautiful!"

In the instant that Han Xueyao beamed her smile, Hu Xiaobei was somewhat shocked and quickly grasped Han Xueyao's soft white hand…
