Hearing Shan Hu's very gloomy inquiry, the person quickly spoke up, "Yes, Wizard, you had previously instructed me to watch the movements of the Xuefeng Tribe, and I have been lurking there all along. Before, their entire tribe seemed normal, but earlier today, they started to celebrate wildly, appearing even more boisterous than during the New Year celebrations!"

After nodding slightly, Shan Hu asked again, "Didn't you investigate to see why they are celebrating?"

"Wizard, I did want to investigate before, but the Xuefeng Tribe has barred outsiders, so I really couldn't find a good way in."

"I see!"

After nodding lightly again, Shan Hu narrowed his eyes slightly...

Right now, Shan Hu also couldn't fathom exactly what the Xuefeng Tribe was hiding...

Seeing Shan Hu lost in thought, the person hesitated a moment before saying, "Wizard, do you think their current excitement is because the wizard named Xueyao of the Xuefeng Tribe has recovered?"

Hearing this conjecture, Shan Hu let out a cold laugh and decisively said, "Recovered? That's completely impossible! She has no chance of recovering in this lifetime!"

Shan Hu was so certain because it was he who had caused Xueyao's injury...

Thus, he knew just how grave her condition was.

Hearing Shan Hu's cold response, the person expressed surprise, "Then why are they so excited now?"

"Forget about it. Regardless, it doesn't have much to do with us!"

After sneering, Shan Hu looked at him and directly commanded, "Inform them that we're heading to the Xuefeng Tribe tomorrow. It's high time we completely annex them."

"Tomorrow? Wizard, didn't you say we were waiting a bit longer before?"

"I had wanted to wait, but now I'm concerned about unexpected complications. Just go and inform them right away."

"Alright, I'll go notify them immediately!"

Very excitedly agreeing, he quickly ran out from there...

After he left, the wizard named Shan Hu laughed greedily like a fox!

After laughing, Shan Hu looked towards the distance and said coldly, "Xueyao, back in the day, when I pursued you, you refused. Later, I used a little trick, and you became so miserable! Now, I want to slowly take over your tribe, and once I have completely annexed your tribe, I will make your daughter my woman! At that time, I believe your expression will be very interesting indeed!"

Having said this, Shan Hu laughed maniacally, his face completely contorted!

Years ago, the first time he saw Xueyao, Shan Hu had thought she was truly beautiful!

Without hesitation, Shan Hu had pursued Xueyao directly...

In his view, as such a handsome man taking the initiative, he should have quickly won her over!

But his continuous confessions all failed!

This series of failures twisted Shan Hu's heart!

In his mind, Xueyao was just mocking him...

Completely enraged, he found an opportunity to launch a frenzied surprise attack on Xueyao, grievously wounding her!

Even then, he felt it was not enough revenge.

Before, he kept sending his men to harass the Xuefeng Tribe, and now he thought of directly annexing it...

"How I look forward to tomorrow coming sooner!"

Having twisted his face with laughter, he eagerly looked out the window...

At that moment, a swarm of black bugs swiftly flew in from the corner.

Lightly touching them, Shan Hu said consolingly with a smiling face, "Don't worry, you'll have your chance to perform tomorrow!"

...

"Damn, the people from the Xuefeng Tribe really can drink!"

The next morning, as the sun illuminated the entire tribe, Hu Xiaobei opened his eyes!

Even after a night's sleep, Hu Xiaobei still felt a bit groggy.

During last night's celebration, as a guest of honor, Hu Xiaobei was toasted incessantly!

Reluctantly, Hu Xiaobei drank a lot!

Hu Xiaobei thought that with the Nine Wood True Qi protecting him, he would be fine!

But now he realized he had been too optimistic because, despite the Nine Wood True Qi's protection, he still felt somewhat groggy.

After rubbing his nose, Hu Xiaobei quickly sat up!

Afterward, Hu Xiaobei looked around and realized he was in a very clean room...

"I remember last night, it seemed a few young people helped me into here. This might be a guest room designated for visitors by their tribe!"

Mumbling to himself, Hu Xiaobei stood up and walked out the door!

Arriving at the doorway, Hu Xiaobei confirmed this was indeed a guest room, as the words 'reception' were written on the wall by the room's entrance...

After looking around, Hu Xiaobei stepped under the sun and briskly performed a set of military boxing...

After finishing, Hu Xiaobei felt completely rejuvenated...

"I really need to drink less in the future! Otherwise, I'm the one who suffers!"

Thinking so, Hu Xiaobei saw that many from the tribe had come out...

"What's with that strange look everyone is giving me?"

Watching those people, Hu Xiaobei muttered to himself...

...

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei heard astonished exclamations and turned around to see Xue Lianlian standing not far behind him, covering her mouth and staring at him with wide-eyed surprise.

Seeing her stunned look of amazement, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "Lian'er sister, what's wrong with you? Do I have something on my face?"

As he asked, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help reaching out to touch his own cheek!

Sensing Hu Xiaobei's confusion, Xue Lianlian, coming back to her senses, gently shook her head, "No, Brother Xiaobei, there's nothing dirty on your face! By the way, Brother Xiaobei, why are you up so early? Didn't you drink the wine last night during the celebration?"

"Wine? I did drink!"

"Then how come you're up so early? That wine is a special kind from Miaojiang. Normally, those who drink it for the first time would sleep for a whole day and night!"

"Is that so? No wonder I felt a bit of a headache when I got up!"

Hu Xiaobei finally understood after hearing Xue Lianlian's explanation!

He also finally realized why the tribe's people were all staring at him!

"Just a bit of a headache? Brother Xiaobei, you're truly amazing!"

Hearing Xue Lianlian's admiring words, Hu Xiaobei blinked and said, "Heh, of course, I'm very impressive!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's proud demeanor, Xue Lianlian pouted, "Hmph, I think, you're just a natural-born drunkard! Alright, Brother Xiaobei, since you're up, let's go have breakfast together! Our tribe's breakfast is very tasty, you must give it a good try."

"Sure, I'm feeling quite hungry!"

Agreeing, Hu Xiaobei and Xue Lianlian headed towards the tribe's center. Along the way, Hu Xiaobei noticed that the looks from others were still full of shock...

While Hu Xiaobei and Xue Lianlian were about to go have breakfast, over at the Medicinal Field, Xueyao, who had been almost broken apart by Hu Xiaobei's antics, was finally able to get out of bed!

Drawing a deep breath, she sat up after getting dressed in her undergarments!

In that instant, she felt her calves were still a bit weak...

"A whole night has passed, and I still haven't fully recovered! It seems I really must keep my distance from Xiaobei!"

With a shy mutter to herself, Xueyao looked at her shoe cabinet.

Soon enough, she picked out a pair of pink sports shoes...

After putting them on, she stamped her slightly numb feet and shyly approached the mirror...

Glancing at her blushing cheeks, Xueyao smoothed her long, dark hair.

In that moment, she felt a lot better!

"I must admit, he really is impressive!"

With heartfelt admiration, she changed into a brand-new dress and bashfully left the room...

...

Not far away in the Shanwu Tribe, Shan Hu looked at all the gathered people in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.

"It looks like my influence is still quite strong!"

After muttering proudly to himself, he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, I believe you all know why I gathered you here today!"

"Yes! To confront the Xuefeng Tribe!"

Hearing everyone's uniform reply, Shan Hu chuckled.

Soon after, he spoke softly, "That's right! Now is the time to confront the Xuefeng Tribe! You all know that the Witch Xueyao from the Xuefeng Tribe was seriously injured before. She will never recover from her injuries in her lifetime! In simple terms, she and the Xuefeng Tribe no longer have the qualifications to coexist with us, so now we must take full control of their tribe."

Upon hearing Shan Hu's words, people from the Shanwu Tribe nodded vigorously!

They didn't think there was anything wrong with this action, as the whole of Miaojiang was a world of the survival of the fittest...

Thus, they had no objections to swallowing up the Xuefeng Tribe; in fact, they felt the sooner, the better!

Seeing everyone's eager expressions, Shan Hu declared, "Alright, let's move out!"

"Yes!"

And so, all of them headed en masse straight toward the Xuefeng Tribe...

"Xueyao, this time, I want you to watch as I take over your entire tribe. Of course, I also want you and your daughter to kneel before me!"

Laughing maniacally, he rubbed his hands together excitedly...

At that moment, he truly wished he could sprout wings and fly there...

...

"Brother Xiaobei, this is our tribe's special medicinal porridge, how do you like the taste?"

On the small square at the center of the Xuefeng Tribe village, Xue Lianlian asked curiously as she saw Hu Xiaobei take a sip of the porridge.

"It's delicious!"

As he complimented, Hu Xiaobei glanced into the bowl and took another sip!

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's enjoyment, Xue Lianlian smiled softly...

Xue Lianlian knew that the medicinal porridge was made the same way as regular porridge, but it contained many medicinal ingredients beneficial to the body, making it feel very comforting to drink.

"Brother Xiaobei, if you like it, then drink more. I..."

Before Xue Lianlian could finish her sentence, they suddenly heard a flurry of disordered footsteps coming from not too far away...
