Lang Ya quickly sensed that this place might indeed have very old medicinal herbs, as the environment was perfect for their growth...

Moreover, the most important thing was that the nearby farmers were all ignorant...

So even if there were treasures like ginseng here, those poor saps wouldn't have a clue!

Assured of this, he took another deep breath of the rich herbal fragrance, his eyes shining even brighter...

"Today must be my lucky day. Once I get that hundred-year ginseng, my strength will fully recover. Then, I'll make sure Hu Xiaobei pays the price! Definitely!"

As he harbored these venomous thoughts, Lang Ya quickly dashed towards the back mountain...

Before, even though he had been defeated by Hu Xiaobei, he hadn't accepted it.

In Lang Ya's view, his failure was due to his unfamiliarity with Hu Xiaobei...

If he had understood Hu Xiaobei, there was no way he could have lost, so Lang Ya plotted to regain his reputation as soon as he recovered...

...

"Hu Xiaobei, you just wait, just wait, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"

Outside the village, Feng Lin, who had been unceremoniously dumped into a fetid ditch by the youths of Xiaohe Village, growled with bitterness.

At that moment, he wished he could tear Hu Xiaobei limb from limb...

If there had been any chance of reconciliation between Feng Lin and Hu Xiaobei before...

Now there wasn't a single chance left...

"Look, that guy is so pitiful!"

"Yeah, really!"

As he begrudgingly climbed out from the ditch, he heard someone speak.

The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and Feng Lin lowered his head and quickly left...

...

In Xiaohe Village, after all the excited tourists had dispersed, Hu Xiaobei looked at Han Xueyao with concern and asked, "Auntie, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!"

Han Xueyao shook her head in response to Hu Xiaobei's query...

To be honest, at this moment, she felt a hint of aftershock...

She knew that if it hadn't been for Hu Xiaobei, she would have been in real danger...

Once he was sure Han Xueyao was indeed unharmed, Hu Xiaobei sighed with relief. Just then, he heard Han Jiayuan speak excitedly.

"Brother Xiaobei, if I had known how powerful you were, Mom and I wouldn't have been so worried just now!"

"What are you talking about! I wasn't worried at all! I knew someone like you, Brother Xiaobei, a big baddie, couldn't be easily defeated."

Hearing Han Xueyao's words, Hu Xiaobei chuckled...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei looked at Han Xueyao and said softly, "Auntie really understands me the best!"

"Of course I do!"

With that, Han Xueyao gave Hu Xiaobei a look and then spoke a few more words with him before quickly leaving with Han Jiayuan...

After they had left, Hu Xiaobei turned to Fei Yang!

That was when he noticed Fei Yang gazing at him with sheer admiration...

"What's up? Is there something on my face?"

"No, Master Xiaobei, I just think you are really awesome!"

"Pretty good, I guess!"

He laughed and waved his hand, then Hu Xiaobei spoke a few more words with Fei Yang.

Soon after, Hu Xiaobei and Fei Yang parted ways and headed straight for the orchard behind the village...

...

Whilst Hu Xiaobei was making his way to the back mountain, Lang Ya arrived at the rear of Xiaohe Village, his face brimming with excitement!

His pace quickened by the moment...

For the closer he drew to this location, the stronger the rich scent of the herbs became...

"There's definitely a treasure here! This time, I've really struck it rich!"

Lang Ya was truly ecstatic...

Just by smelling this herbal fragrance, he felt a lot better...

"It should be right ahead, just up ahead."

Muttering to himself with feverish zeal, he swiftly parted the dense underbrush and then saw a small deep pool not far in front of him...

The pool water was very clear...

Of course, his gaze didn't linger long on the water.

For that herbal scent was coming from the edge of the pool!

Upon closer inspection, he was slightly startled...

There, a very plump rabbit was munching on something...

"What is it eating? Carrots?"

Muttering to himself, Lang Ya crept forward a couple of steps, and the next moment, he was struck dumb!

Because the rabbit wasn't nibbling on any carrots, but on a ginseng plant that appeared to be over fifty years old.

"This... this... this..."

He didn't know what to say when he saw this scene!

He knew that outside, a fifty-year-old wild ginseng was enough to make everyone fight tooth and nail over it!

Yet here, the ginseng was merely this creature's food.

...

"Is this real?"

As he stood there stunned, he saw the chubby rabbit take a couple more bites and then carelessly toss it aside...

Just as he was about to stealthily pick it up, Lang Ya saw it disappear!

Where did it go?

As he wondered, he saw the rabbit come back, this time with a bigger ginseng clutched in its chubby forepaws.

"This... this ginseng is definitely over a hundred years old!"

Muttering this, he knew he had to act now to snatch it.

Because this wild hundred-year ginseng was worth a fortune, he absolutely could not let the rabbit just whimsically eat it...

Just as he was about to take action, Lang Ya heard a noise and, looking up, saw a White Wolf and a Black Tiger running swiftly toward this spot!

"This..."

Sensing their fierce and terrifying presence, his face paled slightly!

He knew he couldn't beat them even at his best, so now he was definitely doomed!

"What should I do?"

As he struggled with this decision, he saw them lie down beside the rabbit...

The rabbit glanced at them, then disappeared!

Soon, it came back, this time with a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and some medicinal herbs that Lang Ya could not recognize.

Seeing it distribute them to the White Wolf and Black Tiger made Lang Ya's heart bleed...

"Damn it! This... this world is so unfair! I risk my life for a hundred-year ginseng, yet here it's just a tasty treat!"

His spirit completely shattered, he felt like crying...

Earlier, facing Hu Xiaobei's full power left him feeling powerless!

Now, facing these three animals, he felt powerless once again!

"What should I do? Just walk away unwillingly like this?"

As he muttered to himself, he heard footsteps and, looking up, saw Hu Xiaobei approaching from not too far away...

...

"Hu Xiaobei is here? Great! As long as Hu Xiaobei catches their attention, he's done for!"

Lang Ya was slightly taken aback upon seeing Hu Xiaobei.

In an instant, he burst into excited, maniacal laughter!

While he laughed wildly, he saw them notice Hu Xiaobei...

In his mind, since they had discovered Hu Xiaobei, they would surely tear him to pieces.

"What a thrill!"

Imagining Hu Xiaobei about to be torn limb from limb, Lang Ya felt an immense satisfaction.

The next second, his face suddenly contorted with displeasure.

Because he noticed that there was not a single hint of panic on Hu Xiaobei's face!

"This... could Hu Xiaobei know them? This... how could that be possible, they're ferocious wild beasts!"

As he agonized over this, he saw the White Wolf and Black Tiger appear before Hu Xiaobei, sitting down obediently with a look of ingratiating submission.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Lang Ya's mouth twitched uncontrollably...

The next moment, he turned his gaze towards the chubby rabbit!

"This rabbit has been full of itself since I first saw it, so there's no way it would submit! Absolutely impossible!"

Lang Ya said this, then saw the rabbit disappear...

"Just as I thought! It left! I knew a proud rabbit like it would never submit!"

Seeing the rabbit vanish, Lang Ya laughed outright!

But the next second, his joyful smile froze solid on his face...

Because just then, Lang Ya saw that the rabbit, which should have left, reappeared on Hu Xiaobei's shoulder and, in an act of appeasement, presented a whole hundred-year-old ginseng...
