"This little bastard!"

Women's sixth sense is always super sharp!

When Hu Xiaobei was warmly staring at Xueyao's swaying, ample bosom, Xueyao felt it!

Just like that, Xueyao muttered shyly...

Hearing Xueyao's shy mutter, Hu Xiaobei knew she had noticed his gaze!

Quickly coughing, Hu Xiaobei swiftly spoke, "Auntie Xueyao, you... don't get too excited right now. Try again to see if you can gain the Mysterious Land's recognition. If you can earn its approval, it's never too late to be happy, right?"

"Yes! You're right!"

After nodding gently, Xueyao turned her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked towards the deepest part of the Mysterious Land…

Seeing the confidence in Xueyao's sparkling eyes, Hu Xiaobei smiled and silently took two steps back…

After that, Hu Xiaobei watched her with shoulders crossed and eyes full of encouragement…

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei was brimming with confidence in Xueyao.

Hu Xiaobei was clear that the Nine Wood True Qi he had just infused into her was quite magical, so it definitely could help her!

If Xueyao still couldn't gain recognition with the help of Nine Wood True Qi, then she truly had no fate with the Mysterious Land…

…

"I'll try once more, I'll try again now! I feel like there's an eighty percent chance I'll succeed this time!"

After Hu Xiaobei had quietly retreated, Xueyao whispered to herself…

Soon, Xueyao completely calmed her mind!

At the same time, she attempted to mobilize the Nine Wood True Qi within her body once more.

Quickly, Xueyao felt the previously static Nine Wood True Qi in her Dantian slowly begin to circulate through her body again.

"It's still a bit unfamiliar! It looks like I really need to practice more in the future!"

Feeling the somewhat unsmooth circulation of Nine Wood True Qi, Xueyao whispered to herself…

After whispering, Xueyao's eyes grew brighter.

Because at that moment, she felt her sensitivity to her surroundings become sharper; she could see a butterfly twenty meters away very clearly.

"This feeling is truly wonderful."

Admiring the sensation, Xueyao's respect for Hu Xiaobei grew even more!

"I hope that this time, with the help of Nine Wood True Qi, I can really gain approval again!"

Having said that, Xueyao looked forward with great anticipation…

…

At this moment, several thousand meters in front of Xueyao, there was a deep cave where many powerful Gu Insects gathered…

These Gu Insects had lived here generation after generation, and each one was incredibly strong.

Suddenly, they felt a faint attraction.

Instantly, they became exhilarated…

Without hesitation, they began to flutter, ready to see what this attraction was all about.

Outside, Xueyao was unaware of the agitation among these Gu Insects; she continued to circulate the Nine Wood True Qi.

At that moment, a cold, mocking voice came from not too far off…

"Ah, isn't this the once far-and-wide renowned witch Xueyao! What's the matter? After your Gu Insects died, you still want to regain the Mysterious Land's recognition? To obtain Gu Insects again? You must be dreaming! Moreover, even if you were to luckily gain the Mysterious Land's recognition and obtained Gu Insects once more, would you have the time to cultivate them?"

Upon hearing this mocking voice, Xueyao paused the circulation of her Nine Wood True Qi.

Xueyao immediately stopped, making those crazily charging Gu Insects suddenly freeze in place, looking dumbfounded...

Because they suddenly felt that the compelling attraction that had driven them wild was gone...

Xueyao was unaware that those powerful Gu Insects were now confused like headless flies...

At this moment, she somberly turned her head and saw a woman weighing over two hundred pounds looking at her with a face full of bitter resentment.

Hai Zhen!

She knew this woman's name was Hai Zhen, a witch from another tribe...

Previously, Xueyao had some disputes with her and had interacted as a result.

At that time, Xueyao had sparred with her and, because her strength was much inferior, Xueyao had effortlessly overwhelmed her during the spar...

Xueyao had always thought that such a spar shouldn't have been enough to cause lasting resentment...

But now, seeing the malicious look in her eyes, Xueyao realized she had guessed wrong before, she truly had harbored a grudge...

Indeed, Xueyao was right; Hai Zhen had indeed been consumed with hatred after her defeat!

"Hai Zhen, what I want to do is none of your business, right?"

Hearing Xueyao's words, Hai Zhen took a step forward and coldly said, "None of my business? Of course it is! If you recklessly seek approval from the Mysterious Land and anger it, won't we all suffer the consequences? Get the hell out of here right now."

"You... don't you think that's a bit too much?"

After glancing at Xueyao, Hai Zhen sneered repeatedly, "How so? Will you dare to ignore my words? Your Gu Insects are already dead, so you are no longer the powerful witch you once were. I advise you not to court death, otherwise, I will definitely make you regret it!"

"Court death?"

"Yes! Speaking of which, you really struck it rich. This is the Mysterious Land, where blood must not be spilled. Otherwise, do you think I'd let you leave with ease after you offended me before? Now, while I'm in a good mood, get lost, and don't delay the young people from my tribe from taking the Mysterious Land's test."

Hearing her increasingly cold words, Xueyao glanced at her side and only then noticed there were six children standing next to her.

"It seems their tribe's four-year period has come! However, this time, it seems there are fewer young ones from their tribe."

Reading the look in Xueyao's eyes, Hai Zhen said, "What? Do you think the number of people from our tribe taking the test is too few? Let me tell you! Although we are few, their qualifications are absolutely top-notch! Especially my son, Hai Long, this time, he will definitely pass the Mysterious Land's approval and become a wizard!"

"Your... your son?"

Hearing Hai Zhen's confident words, Xueyao took a glance and noticed one chubby child among the six looked very much like her!

"They really are mother and son!"

Muttering to herself, Xueyao took a step back...

Although she disliked the arrogant Hai Zhen, Xueyao still stepped back!

Because she knew she must let these children take the trial of the Mysterious Land first, as it was an age-old tradition that she could not break...

...

"Consider yourself sensible!"

Seeing Xueyao step back, Hai Zhen arrogantly smiled.

Soon, she looked at the children standing before her and said, "Alright, this is the Mysterious Land I've told you about more than once. Whether you can leap over the Dragon Gate depends on yourselves!"

"Yes!"

They agreed, curiously observing the Mysterious Land before them...

They had heard many legends about this place from Hai Zhen before, so they were extremely curious and now wanted to thoroughly see what exactly the Mysterious Land was like!

Seeing them just curiously looking around, Hai Zhen spoke indifferently, "Enough looking, let's do as we discussed before. Xiaobao, you go first."

"Yes!"

The child called Xiaobao nodded lightly and quickly walked toward the Mysterious Land ahead...

After glancing at the child named Xiaobao, Hu Xiaobei approached Xueyao, "Auntie, at that moment, did you feel the Mysterious Land's acceptance of you?"
