Before meeting Xueyao, Hu Xiaobei had already learned from Xue Lianlian that Xueyao was experiencing some health issues.

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei didn't pay much attention to it.

But now, Hu Xiaobei knew he had to care.

Because he realized, with just one glance, that Xueyao's problem was really serious—so serious that it threatened her life.

"Hello, my name is Hu Xiaobei, I'm Lian'er's friend!"

As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei naturally extended his hand.

Standing before Hu Xiaobei, Xueyao looked intensely at him for a moment and then extended her delicate, fair hand.

Hu Xiaobei glanced at her pale, jade-like fingers and gently held them.

In that instant, Hu Xiaobei clearly felt a cold chill seeping from her palm...

That chill made Hu Xiaobei's eyelids twitch.

"It seems that Xueyao's health issues are more severe than I thought!"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei tightened his grip on her hand!

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei wanted to carefully feel the chill to ascertain her physical condition...

However, just as he was feeling it, Hu Xiaobei suddenly felt someone gently pushing him.

Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei asked, "Lian'er, what's wrong?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's puzzled question, Xue Lianlian rolled her eyes at him and said softly, "Brother Xiaobei, how long are you going to hold my mom's hand? This is your first meeting, can't you be a bit more reserved?"

Hearing the gentle teasing, Hu Xiaobei turned to Xueyao and noticed a slight trace of shy embarrassment in her pale face.

Clearly, Xueyao also felt she had held on for too long!

Coughing slightly, Hu Xiaobei hurriedly let go of her hand...

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei began to explain, "That... I... was actually..."

Feeling Hu Xiaobei's awkwardness, Xue Lianlian chuckled and quickly said, "Brother Xiaobei, you don't need to explain. My mom is the most beautiful woman in our tribe, no, the most beautiful in all of Miaojiang, so it's normal for many people to be stunned when they first see her!"

Hearing Xue Lianlian mention the most beautiful woman, Hu Xiaobei instinctively looked again at Xueyao!

Originally, Hu Xiaobei had only been focused on her injuries and hadn't paid much attention to her appearance...

Now, following Xue Lianlian's words, Hu Xiaobei took a closer look.

Very soon, Hu Xiaobei realized Xue Lianlian was absolutely right; she was indeed very beautiful...

Dressed in exotic attire, she exuded an air of mystery...

Her injuries had rendered her cheeks somewhat pale, but this only added a delicate frailty rather than detracting from her beauty.

Hu Xiaobei didn't know about others, but he himself couldn't help wanting to hold her close and protect her as much as possible!

"The first beauty is truly as reputed!"

With heartfelt admiration, Hu Xiaobei prepared to explain the hand-holding incident again!

But just as he was about to speak, he saw Xueyao gently shaking her head, "Don't explain, it's fine!"

After saying this, Xueyao, teasing her ink-like long hair, said softly, "Alright, you and Lian'er have a good look around here, I'm going to go check on the medicinal herbs in the Medicinal Field."

"Alright! Go ahead!"

"Mm!"

Nodding lightly, she turned and left, walking gracefully away...

...

After the well-proportioned Xueyao had lazily walked away, Hu Xiaobei withdrew his gaze...

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei turned to Xue Lianlian and asked seriously, "Lian'er, tell me, how did your mom get hurt before?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's serious inquiry, Xue Lianlian curiously responded, "Brother Xiaobei, are you a doctor?"

"Yes! Have you forgotten? I came here to gather herbs on the mountain."

"Ah, I remember now, you did mention that before! But don't think about helping my mom! My mom's medical skills are very good, she's among the best in Miaojiang, but even so, she hasn't been able to heal herself after all this time. My mom once said that even the most skilled doctors couldn't heal her. So, let's forget it!"

"There are no absolutes in anything; I consider my medical skills to be very impressive, so tell me about it!"

"Since you're confident, Brother Xiaobei, I'll tell you. Before, my mom had a very powerful Gu Insect, you should know that a wizard's Gu Insects are raised from a young age!"

"Yes! I know that!"

Hu Xiaobei had learned before, so he knew this...

Hu Xiaobei knew that the key to a wizard's strength was the Gu Insect...

Thus, wizards take great care of their Gu Insects, nurturing them meticulously from a young age...

Because only in this way can they fully connect with it spiritually and maximize its effectiveness...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei nod, Xue Lianlian, somewhat despondent, said, "My mom's painstakingly nurtured Gu Insect died in an accident before, and its death directly affected my mom's fundamentals! Although she has been repairing it, she has never been able to fully recover. Before, my mom was also attacked by the despicable Shan Dumu from the Shanwu Tribe, and now her injuries are even worse!"

"So that's what happened!"

After speaking hoarsely, Hu Xiaobei nodded lightly...

"Yes! I know my mom's health is getting worse, so I've always wanted to help her as much as I can, but my abilities are always too weak, so I can never help, I'm really so clumsy."

Toward the end, Xue Lianlian burst into tears, feeling utterly distressed.

Watching tears well from her eyes, Hu Xiaobei felt a deep ache in his heart!

Quickly wiping away her tears, Hu Xiaobei said softly, "Little Sister Lian'er, don't be discouraged. You've already done very well! From now on, leave everything to Brother Xiaobei. I promise you here and now that I will completely cure your mother!"

"Really? Brother Xiaobei, are you... are you lying to me? Can you really cure my mother?"

Her whole body trembled!

Xue Lianlian asked while shivering...

Feeling her nervousness, Hu Xiaobei rubbed her little nose and said, "Of course, Brother Xiaobei would never lie to you!"

Xue Lianlian blushed slightly when Hu Xiaobei pinched her nose!

Soon, she excitedly wiped away her tears...

Then, looking at Hu Xiaobei, she quickly extended her hand and said, "Brother Xiaobei, let's make a pinky promise!"

"Alright, pinky promise!"

After interlocking fingers, both Hu Xiaobei and she laughed!

...

Soon, Xue Lianlian, holding onto Hu Xiaobei, quickly said, "Alright, Brother Xiaobei, let's hurry to see my mother! I want to tell her this great news! She will be so happy when she hears it!"

"Okay!"

After readily agreeing, Hu Xiaobei and she quickly ran towards the Medicinal Field...

During this period, Hu Xiaobei looked at the herbs in the Medicinal Field and noticed that their growth was quite impressive...

"It seems, Xueyao is really skilled at taking care of the herbs. Maybe later on, I could have her help with my herbs. But she would probably be surprised then because the herbs in my Medicinal Field are much better than these!"

As Hu Xiaobei was thinking this, Xiong Wei, who had been severely beaten by Hu Xiaobei earlier, hurried back to his tribe!

Without hesitation, upon returning to the tribe, Xiong Wei madly rushed toward the grand palace in the center!

Xiong Wei knew that palace was where his grandfather, Xiong Yan, was qualified to reside...

"What... what's going on?"

"Exactly! Young Master Xiong seems to have been beaten!"

"Right, right!"

As Xiong Wei madly dashed forward, many people in the tribe muttered such things!

They murmured like this naturally because Xiong Wei was currently looking disheveled...

Expressionless, Xiong Wei heard their whispers.

But Xiong Wei had no intention of explaining; instead, he quickened his pace even more. Soon, he arrived in front of the palace where his grandfather Xiong Yan lived.

...

"Young Master Xiong!"

The two men in front of the palace greeted Xiong Wei as he ran over.

They were personal attendants of Xiong Yan and knew Xiong Wei was greatly favored by Xiong Yan, so they were always polite to him...

With an expressionless face, Xiong Wei nodded and directly said, "Inform him! I want to see my grandfather!"

Xiong Wei knew that only by letting his grandfather take action could he completely kill the bastard who beat him...

So he wanted his grandfather to act quickly...

Hearing Xiong Wei's urgent words, they exchanged glances and quietly said, "Young Master Xiong, I'm afraid that's not possible. The master said he is conducting very important research right now and cannot be disturbed by anyone!"

"Really!"

When they refused, Xiong Wei glared and said, "Nobody? Not even me? I am his grandson!"

"Yes! Not even you, these are the master's orders!"

"You..."

Xiong Wei's lips twitched a few times at their words!

Wanting to burst in but not daring to do so, Xiong Wei knew his grandfather hated being disturbed during cultivation. So even if he really angered his grandfather, it would not end well.

Taking a deep breath, Xiong Wei said, "I understand. I'll go back first, but inform me immediately once my grandfather finishes his cultivation!"

"Alright!"

After they agreed, Xiong Wei quickly left...

Returning to his room, he violently smashed a vase, "Bastard, for now, keep being smug. Once my grandfather finishes his cultivation, I'll have him help me kill you. Then, not only you will die, but the entire Xuefeng Tribe will suffer because of Xue Lianlian!"

At this thought, he suddenly remembered Xue Lianlian's mother, Xueyao!

"Xueyao seems to be an absolute beauty. This time, I'll catch two birds with one stone, making her my woman in one go! Having both mother and daughter together... Just the thought is thrilling!"

Laughing maniacally, an excited Xiong Wei proudly looked out the window...

...

While he was wildly daydreaming, Hu Xiaobei and Xue Lianlian arrived at the innermost part of the Medicinal Garden.

There, Hu Xiaobei saw Xueyao squatting not far ahead, staring blankly at a withered yellow herb at her feet.

"That herb looks like it's about to die!"

As Hu Xiaobei muttered to himself, hearing Xue Lianlian call out to her!

Quickly waving his hand to stop Xue Lianlian, Hu Xiaobei leaned over to Xue Lianlian's ear and said, "Little Sister Lian'er, don't shout yet. Can you go prepare some clean water?"
