"Auntie, are you in the room right now?"

From the Medicinal Field of Xuefeng Tribe, Hu Xiaobei quietly called out…

Hu Xiaobei had come here to check on Xueyao's health once more…

Honestly, Hu Xiaobei didn't want to come because he knew that meeting Xueyao now would inevitably be a bit awkward…

"Yeah, I'm here, Xiaobei, you… you come in!"

Inside the room, Xueyao heard Hu Xiaobei's inquiry and shyly responded!

As she spoke, Xueyao couldn't help but think about the past craziness with Hu Xiaobei…

She knew it really wasn't Hu Xiaobei's fault, so she had no reason not to meet him now…

…

"Okay!"

After agreeing, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose and quickly walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, Hu Xiaobei smelled a faint, peculiar scent lingering in the room.

The moment he smelled it, Hu Xiaobei knew it was the scent that hadn't completely dissipated after their previous frenzy...

He coughed, glanced at Xueyao who was looking down, and quickly asked, "Auntie, how… how are you feeling physically now?"

"My… my legs are still a bit weak, especially the lower legs!"

Hearing this shy reply, Hu Xiaobei's mouth twitched vigorously, and soon, in a low voice, he said, "Auntie, I… I don't mean that, I want to ask how you feel physically, after that treatment I gave you!"

With her face turning bright red, she bit her soft lip and said, "I'm much better now, basically completely recovered!"

"So cute!"

Looking at her blushing cheeks, Hu Xiaobei exclaimed!

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei continued, "That's good! Oh, Auntie, the herbs I picked for you earlier, remember to brew them as they will help you!"

"Yes! I know! Also, Xiaobei, thank you so much for everything before. If it weren't for you, our whole tribe would surely have been completely annexed by the Xuefeng Tribe."

"Fortune favors the brave, even without me, it would not necessarily have been completely annexed!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's reassurance, Xueyao silently sighed!

Soon, Xueyao's voice slightly hoarse, said, "Xiaobei, you don't understand our Miaojiang, the tribes here are always fighting. If a tribe cannot quickly become stronger, it will indeed be completely annexed. Honestly, even though you saved us this time, we could still potentially be annexed by a larger tribe in the future."

Hearing her low tone, Hu Xiaobei silently sighed and asked, "Auntie, now that you've recovered, will you be able to cultivate Gu Insects again?"

Hu Xiaobei knew he would be leaving here soon!

Once he was gone, their tribe would still be in danger, so if she could start cultivating Gu Insects again, it would make things much better!

"It's difficult! Because Gu Insects must be nurtured from a young age, and if I start cultivating them again now, it would take over a decade before they regain their combat abilities!"

"It shouldn't take that long! Let's try! If it really takes that long, then we can give up on cultivating! When I leave, you and sister Lian'er can come with me!"

"Leave?"

"Yes, let's go back to the place where I stay!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's confident statement, she pursed her lips, "What are you thinking? You want both of us to leave with you without even offering a dowry? Is there such a good deal in the world?"

"Uh..."

Hearing such banter, Hu Xiaobei gently rubbed his nose and said, "Uh... a dowry is definitely essential!"

"Haha, don't be so nervous in explaining, I was just joking with you!"

"Yeah! Aunt, I'm serious! Let's try it now! My body contains Nine Wood True Qi, as you know. They should be able to promote rapid growth of the Gu Insects, so if we cultivate them again, they might quickly regain their combat abilities."

"Indeed, we can give it a try!"

Although Xueyao was skeptical that the Gu Insects could become combat-ready in a short time, she was still willing to try.

Once Xueyao agreed, Hu Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief, and in that instant, Hu Xiaobei suddenly asked, "By the way, aunt, I've always been curious about one thing. Where do you get the Gu Insects in Miaojiang? And how do you determine that someone will definitely become a Wizard?"

"That's a secret of Miaojiang, but since you're now our tribe's lifesaver, I can share it with you."

"Aunt, just a lifesaver?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's counter-question, Xueyao's cheeks flushed...

Huffing and giving Hu Xiaobei a glance, she whispered softly, "In the depths of Miaojiang, there is a very mysterious place! Every four years, each tribe selects eligible children to go to the Mysterious Land for testing. If these children receive approval there, they can get a Gu Insect. But if they don't get approval, they aren't qualified to become a Wizard."

Hearing Xueyao's explanation, Hu Xiaobei looked enlightened. "So that's it! So, the type of Gu Insect one receives upon approval is decided by the Mysterious Land?"

"Yes! There are many levels of approval in the Mysterious Land. The higher the level of approval, the more powerful the Gu Insect you receive. Some people even receive the highest level of Gu Insects, which can evolve after they mature!"

"Evolve? Gu Insects can actually evolve?"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's puzzled look, Xueyao nodded, "Yes! The so-called evolution means that the strength of the Gu Insects can be greatly elevated... It's difficult, but it's still achievable. Of course, such an evolution is very rare nowadays! For many years, no Wizard has actually managed to evolve their Gu Insects..."

"I see! So, you need to go back to the Mysterious Land to get re-approval, right?"

"Yes! I need to go there and get approval again, but since I succeeded once before, the difficulty this time will be much lower!"

"That's great then! By the way, aunt, can I go with you? I'm quite curious about the Mysterious Land."

"You can come, but make sure not to wander around when we get there; it's a mysterious place."

"Don't worry, aunt, I'm not a child, I won't cause any trouble."

"Alright! Then wait outside for me now, I'm going to change clothes, and then we can head out."

"Aunt, do I really need to go out?"

"What do you think?"

Feeling a hint of menace, Hu Xiaobei's eyelid twitched, and he quickly said, "Alright! Alright! Alright! I'm going out!"

With that, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose and quickly ran outside...

Watching Hu Xiaobei dash off, she smiled and began picking out clothes quickly...

...

Outside, a faint smile played at the corners of Hu Xiaobei's mouth...

Hu Xiaobei found Xueyao to be much more cheerful than before, "Looks like, my scolding of Shan Hu has completely helped her step out of the shadows!"

With that said, Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath.

Just then, Hu Xiaobei heard footsteps, turned his head, and saw the lovely Xueyao with blushing cheeks, standing softly behind him and looking at him...
