Hu Xiaobei's lips curled into a faint smile.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei smile happily, the two of them became curious, "Master Xiaobei, what's the matter?"

"Experience it for yourselves, and you'll know!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's mysterious remark, they curiously crouched down...

After putting their hands into the water, they exchanged surprised glances, "Is... is this water hot?"

Glancing at them, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Yes! The water is hot."

"But... how is that possible?"

"That's right!"

The two of them felt this defied logic...

Glancing at them, Hu Xiaobei smilingly explained, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be geothermal resources nearby!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's explanation, Yue Lingsnow seemed to understand...

She brushed her ink-colored hair and spoke softly, "I've often heard that Miaojiang has rich geothermal resources. It seems to be true!"

"Sister, do you mean there might be hot springs ahead?"

Seeing Yue Lingyu's excited expression, Yue Lingsnow rubbed her plump cheeks and said, "Not necessarily, but there's a good chance that hot springs are present!"

"That's great, let's hurry and take a look!"

"Wait a minute, let's listen to Master Xiaobei."

"Oh!"

Quickly agreeing, Yue Lingyu looked at Hu Xiaobei with hopeful eyes...

Noticing Yue Lingyu's gaze, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "Let's go and have a look ahead; we might even discover some unexpected surprises!"

"Okay!"

Agreeing, Yue Lingyu happily ran ahead.

Yue Lingsnow noticed and gently shook her head...

Soon, she looked apologetically at Hu Xiaobei and said, "Master Xiaobei, my sister is quite headstrong; you really don't need to indulge her."

"You misunderstood! I actually do want to go ahead because the medicinal herb I'm looking for might be there!"

With that, Hu Xiaobei strode forward.

Yue Lingsnow blinked and quickly followed...

Hu Xiaobei was truly excited at the moment because he knew this trip might really yield something.

Hu Xiaobei knew that Green Beauty Fruits liked to grow in damp locations...

This dampness should ideally be accompanied by warmth...

For this reason, beside the hot springs was the most suitable place for Green Beauty Fruits to grow, so Hu Xiaobei felt that if he could find the hot springs, he might indeed find the Green Beauty Fruits he needed.

...

"Wow! This place is really beautiful!"

Five minutes later, Yue Lingsnow and Yue Lingyu exclaimed excitedly...

Hearing their excited shouts, Hu Xiaobei looked ahead several times and was surprised himself.

Because the scenery here was really nice...

Ahead, among the green shrubs, was a steaming hot spring...

The warm waters bubbled up from the spring...

Streams of steam shimmered under the sunlight...

"This is practically an Immortal Realm!"

While admiring, Yue Lingyu quickly ran over!

After testing the water temperature by the spring, she turned her head excitedly, "Sister, come quick, the water temperature is just perfect!"

"Okay!"

Agreeing, Yue Lingsnow looked at Hu Xiaobei and invited, "Master Xiaobei, let's go together!"

...

Hearing Yue Lingsnow's invitation, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "You go ahead, I need to pick something over there!"

"Medicinal herbs? Are there really any herbs you need here?"

"Yes! There really are!"

Smiling in response, Hu Xiaobei stared intently at a nearby rock crevice, where he saw the Green Beauty Fruits he needed...

Just ripened, they sparkled with a jade-green brilliance under the sunlight, captivating Hu Xiaobei...

"Master Xiaobei, do you need help?"

"No need! I can handle it myself!"

Chuckling, Hu Xiaobei quickly headed towards the steep rock face...

For ordinary people, this smooth and steep rock was difficult to climb.

But for Hu Xiaobei, it wasn't very challenging.

A minute later, Hu Xiaobei held the jade-green Green Beauty Fruits in his hand...

After carefully examining them, Hu Xiaobei cautiously stored them away.

"This trip was definitely not in vain!"

Smilingly, Hu Xiaobei returned to the hot springs.

After arriving, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but eyes them sisters enviously.

At that moment, sitting on a rock, they shyly removed their shoes, and soon, under Hu Xiaobei's gaze, they bashfully dipped their pale jade-like feet into the hot spring...

The scene was incredibly intimate...

Comfortably wiggling her slender Feet after a while, Yue Lingyu invited, "Master Xiaobei, the water in this hot spring is really nice, come and soak too!"

"Exactly, Master Xiaobei!"

Hearing their sincere invitation, Hu Xiaobei walked over with a smile...

After he approached, Hu Xiaobei looked at them; their pretty faces were flushed, possibly from soaking in the hot spring.

"So cute!"

He sincerely exclaimed, then casually sat between them.

Instantly, their delicate fragrance wafted to Hu Xiaobei's nose...

"If only I could hold one in each arm, how great would that be!"

He was excitedly reflecting on this when he suddenly heard a slightly pained cry.

Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw Yue Lingyu wincing in pain.

...

"Little sister, what's wrong?"

As soon as Hu Xiaobei noticed, Yue Lingsnow, who was sitting on the other side of him, quickly ran barefoot to Yue Lingyu's side.

"Sister, I... I'm fine, it just feels like my leg is cramping a bit."

Feeling her sister's concern, she gently explained, and at the same time, massaged her leg.

"A cramp? Let me see."

"It's okay, sister, really, I..."

Before she could finish, Yue Lingyu couldn't continue because she saw Hu Xiaobei jump into the water.

Feeling her confusion, Hu Xiaobei didn't explain but directly asked in a deep voice, "Little sister Lingyu, how long has this been going on?"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's serious expression, Yue Lingyu said, "Master Xiaobei, it hasn't been long! Don't worry, I injured my leg before, it might not have fully recovered yet. Resting should fix it!"

Hearing Yue Lingyu's explanation, Hu Xiaobei slightly knitted his brows, "Let me have a look. I think it's not that simple."

Saying so solemnly, Hu Xiaobei reached out and grabbed her scalding soft feet soaked by the spring water.

"Ah!"

Her face flushed instantly from the sudden touch...

If it had been anyone else, Yue Lingyu would have surely resisted.

But it was Hu Xiaobei, and she didn't think about resisting, only biting her lip shyly as she looked at him...

...

"Indeed!"

Carefully feeling her leg, Hu Xiaobei found that there indeed was a serious problem.

Previously, on the plane, the first time he met her, Hu Xiaobei felt her walking posture was off.

But at that time, he didn't think much of it.

Now, after examining her, he knew her leg indeed had a very serious problem.

"Master Xiaobei, what exactly is wrong with my sister's leg?"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's grave expression, Yue Lingsnow clenched her fists nervously.

At Yue Lingsnow's inquiry, Hu Xiaobei said, "Don't panic yet! Let me ask more carefully!"

After soothing Yue Lingsnow, Hu Xiaobei looked at the bashful Yue Lingyu, "Little sister Lingyu, did you often experience cramps in your leg before?"

"Yes! I did have that problem frequently before, but the doctor told me it was due to a calcium deficiency. After I took calcium supplements, it really improved, and I didn't pay much attention to it anymore. Master Xiaobei, is the leg cramping not due to a calcium deficiency?"

"Calcium deficiency is one aspect, the most important is that there are other issues with your leg."

"What issues?"

"It's an immune system disease. Originally, it would have taken decades to develop. But previously, your leg was injured, so it triggered the disease to manifest early."

"What... what will be the consequences?"

"If not handled properly, ultimately you can only amputate."

Feeling her anxiety, Hu Xiaobei spoke with a solemn face...

Hu Xiaobei wasn't exaggerating, as if the illness wasn't treated properly, amputation really was the only option.

"This..."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei mention amputation, both Yue Lingsnow and Yue Lingyu turned extremely pale.

Particularly Yue Lingyu, her face ashen.

She had always been studying dance; her lifetime goal was to become a dancer, and she knew if she indeed required an amputation, there would be no hope left.

Seeing their despairing faces, Hu Xiaobei coughed slightly.

After drawing their attention, Hu Xiaobei spoke, "What I mean is, if it is not handled properly, amputation is the only option. But if it's managed well, the issue isn't that serious."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's indifferent words, Yue Lingsnow's eyes brightened because she suddenly remembered Hu Xiaobei's excellent medical skills.

Quickly, she eagerly asked, "Master Xiaobei, can you... can you help my little sister? If she loses her legs, her life would be ruined!"

"Don't worry, with me here, there's absolutely no problem!"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness!"

Watching her excited demeanor, Hu Xiaobei smiled!

Soon, Hu Xiaobei looked at Yue Lingyu, and said, "Little sister Lingyu, I'll examine you now. Don't be nervous, try to relax as much as possible. Understand?"

"Yes!"

With that nod, Yue Lingyu tried her best to relax.

Just now, hearing about the potential amputation, she panicked completely...

Now, knowing Hu Xiaobei could help her recover, naturally, she would cooperate as much as possible!

Feeling Yue Lingyu relax, Hu Xiaobei looked at her pinkish white feet and suddenly said, "Oh no, oh no, oh no!"

"Master Xiaobei, what's wrong?"

As he spoke, their hearts clenched once again...
