While Xue Lianlian was feeling this joyous, news about the successful evolution of the Gu insect from Xiong Yan spread through all clans of Miaojiang as if it had grown wings...

Many wizards were completely dumbfounded when they heard this news...

Soon, quite a few familiar wizards gathered together to discuss it.

"Have you all heard about the news from Xiong Yan? Do you think the news is true? Has the Gu insect from Xiong Yan really evolved?"

"Yes!"

"That's impossible!"

Most of these wizards couldn't believe it was true at this time!

Because they were all wizards, they knew that making a Gu insect evolve was really harder than ascending to the heavens...

After looking at the other wizards, an elder with white hair hoarsely opened his mouth, "I guess the news is true; otherwise, that Xiong Yan wouldn't dare to make such a claim, making us all submit to him."

Hearing this, they looked at each other and silently sighed!

They also knew that since Xiong Yan had issued an ultimatum, he must indeed have enough confidence...

At this moment, a young wizard suddenly said, "Is the evolved Gu insect really that powerful? If we all rush him at the same time, even if he has an evolved Gu insect, I guess he would still suffer greatly, right?"

"You are underestimating the evolved Gu insect! If his Gu insect has really evolved, fighting against him will only lead to a one-sided slaughter."

"Exactly! The evolved Gu insects are incredibly formidable!"

The young wizard, hearing their response, still felt somewhat unconvinced...

The others ignored him and once again solemnly resumed their conversation!

Soon, the hoarse voice of the old man spoke again, "Tomorrow, that Xiong Yan is going to confront the Xuefeng Tribe. Let's all go and watch. If his Gu insect has indeed evolved, then we shall submit!"

"Right!"

"Definitely!"

After agreeing, they didn't continue to stay but each returned to their own clans...

...

As these people rushed to leave, Hai Zhen and Hai Long, who had been humiliated by Hu Xiaobei and Xueyao in the Mysterious Land, also learned about the evolution of Xiong Yan's Gu insect...

After finding out, they too were completely shocked!

After coming back to their senses, Hai Long looked at his mother Hai Zhen, "Mom, Xiong Yan's Gu insect has evolved, and tomorrow he's going to wage battle against the Xuefeng Tribe. Do you think we should also go to the scene to watch carefully?"

Glancing at Hai Long, Hai Zhen shook her head forcefully, "No! Xiong Yan's Gu insect might have evolved, indeed increasing his strength a lot, but that Xueyao had previously tamed all Gu insects in the Mysterious Land, she's not someone to be trifled with. So now it's unclear who will have the last laugh, let's just watch and see how things unfold."

"Mom, aren't you overestimating Xueyao a bit too much? Xiong Yan's Gu insect has evolved, its strength will increase tenfold, there's no way that Xueyao can be his opponent."

"Idiot! Even if Xueyao isn't a match for Xiong Yan, Hu Xiaobei is still by her side. I always feel that he's a more formidable presence."

"That... that's impossible! No matter how powerful he is, he can't possibly beat Xiong Yan!"

"That's hard to say! Alright, stop the chatter, just listen to me."

"Yes! I understand!"

Knowing Hai Zhen's mind was made up, Hai Long sighed and dared not say anything else...

Of course, in his heart, he still didn't believe Hu Xiaobei could really handle Xiong Yan...

...

Xuefeng Tribe...

When Xue Lianlian took Yue Lingsnow and Yue Lingyu to rest in their room, Xueyao looked at Hu Xiaobei and spoke, "Xiaobei, I heard you went up the mountain this time and found the medicinal herbs you needed, right?"

"Yes! Auntie, I found them!"

Receiving an affirmative response, Xueyao bit her lip slightly, looking somewhat disappointed, she asked, "Then... then you will be leaving soon, right?"

Hearing Xueyao speak with such loss, Hu Xiaobei realized she was reluctant to see him leave. He smiled and said, "Yes! I'll be going back in the next few days."

"Will you... will you come back later?"

Looking at her frail expression, Hu Xiaobei smilingly replied, "Do you want me to come back?"

"I wish... I... I don't wish that at all. Don't get me wrong, I mean, I was busy and didn't get to show you around properly this time, so I hope you'll come again. Next time, I'll give you a proper tour. Show you the true culture and customs of Miaojiang."

"Covering up makes it even more obvious!"

He muttered to himself, Hu Xiaobei did not call her out on it but rather said with a sudden enlightenment, "Oh, in that case, I will come back again! Also, Auntie Xueyao, you and Lian'er are welcome to visit me anytime. Anyway, you have my contact information!"

"Sure, if there's a chance, Lian'er and I will definitely go."

Xueyao quickly nodded...

"Then it's a deal!"

"Right, it's a deal!"

Nodding lightly, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his hands together, a mischievous expression on his face, "Auntie, last time after I treated you, I didn't get a chance to give you a proper check-up. Come with me to my room now, I'll check if you're fully healed!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's invitation, Xueyao's face flushed red, "I don't want that!"

Being bluntly rejected, Hu Xiaobei looked disappointed, "Auntie, I'm doing this for your own good!"

"Nice try!"

With that, she gave Hu Xiaobei a look and quickly turned around, striding away.

Watching her leave, Hu Xiaobei quietly sighed...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei turned and returned to his own room...

Sitting on the bed, Hu Xiaobei looked at the dripping green Green Beauty Fruit.

He quickly prepared to lie down.

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei suddenly raised his eyebrows because he heard a very soft knocking on the door...

"Who could it be?"

He murmured to himself and swiftly opened the door.

Instantly, Hu Xiaobei's eyes lit up...

Under the fair moonlight, a beautiful woman was standing at the door.

It was none other than Xueyao, who had just left from here moments ago.

Xueyao had changed into a light white dress, a delicate aura emanating from her.

This made Hu Xiaobei uncontrollably want to embrace her in his arms.

As he watched Hu Xiaobei staring at her blankly, her hair soft and flowing, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, "What, you were chatting with me just a moment ago, now you don't recognize me?"

Hearing her light-hearted teasing, Hu Xiaobei quickly waved his hands, "No, no, it's just, Auntie, you look so beautiful right now!"

"Hmph, sweet talker! No wonder so many girls like you!"

"I…"

As Xiaobei listened to her words filled with jealousy, he couldn't help but smile wryly and rub his nose...

Hu Xiaobei knew it was normal for her to feel jealous now. These past few days, he had received a whole heap of love letters…

The girls from Miaojiang were different from those from other places; they were bolder!

Once they set their hearts on Hu Xiaobei, they launched into a fervent pursuit.

Even, they didn't mind sharing Hu Xiaobei with others...

...

"Completely smitten, aren't you, you little bastard!"

She muttered to herself, then shot Hu Xiaobei a glare before quickly changing the subject, "Well, aren't you going to let me in? Weren't you going to help me with a follow-up exam?"

"Right, right, right!"

Nodding his head rapidly, Hu Xiaobei hastily stepped aside...

Seeing how anxious Hu Xiaobei looked, she chuckled, stepping gracefully into the room with a catwalk sway...

So fragrant!

As she walked by, Hu Xiaobei caught a whiff of that tranquil fragrance...

In an instant, it made him somewhat distracted.

"Xiaobei, how do you plan to examine me now?"

Sitting elegantly on Hu Xiaobei's bed, she asked languidly, her legs naturally crossing...

As Hu Xiaobei watched her delicate feet sway, for a moment he didn't know what to say...

"Looks like even this little bastard gets nervous!"

Observing the somewhat bewildered look on Hu Xiaobei, she continued to swing her feet and muttered to herself.

She had declined Hu Xiaobei's invitation before because she was shy.

But after returning to her room, she decided to come back.

She knew she belonged to that little rascal for life, so there really was no need to be shy in front of him...

"What do you think?"

Retorting, Hu Xiaobei quickly locked the door...

"Little bastard! I knew you were up to no good!"

"Hehe!"

With a laugh, Hu Xiaobei pounced on her.

Xueyao struggled shyly for a moment but then gently wrapped her arms around Hu Xiaobei's neck...

Soon, they were intimately intertwined...

...

"Ah, still asleep, huh. Seems like last night's 'treatment' was quite effective!"

The next morning, after waking up, Hu Xiaobei stole a glance at the still sleeping Xueyao and laughed.

Soon after, he planted a kiss on her face!

Afterward, without waking her, he quietly got out of bed.

After stretching, Hu Xiaobei prepared to go up the mountain...

Hu Xiaobei knew that he would be leaving soon!

So he planned to collect some seeds of medicinal herbs from the mountain before he left to plant in his medicinal field.

Hu Xiaobei knew he might not need them now, but there might come a day in the future when they would come in handy, so it was always good to be prepared...

...

"That little bastard has finally left, huh!"

After Hu Xiaobei left, the 'asleep' Xueyao shyly opened her eyes...

Before, when Hu Xiaobei kissed her, she had actually woken up, but she didn't dare to open her eyes for fear that if she did, she would be entangled by Hu Xiaobei again...

She knew her fragile body could not endure another round...

"On my own, there really isn't a chance of winning, perhaps in the future, I really need to find some help!"

Thinking this way, she sat up coyly...

...

"The air on the mountain is so fresh in the morning!"

Hu Xiaobei, having arrived on the mountain, took a deep breath, sincerely admiring...

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei's eyes lit up...

Bending over, he picked a stalk of medicinal herb!

"To the commoners of Miaojiang, this place is Forbidden Land, but to me, it's truly a treasure trove."

With excited praise, Hu Xiaobei continued to pick various young shoots and seeds of medicinal herbs.

Soon, his medicine basket was filled with many.

"That should be enough."

Half an hour later, after carefully placing a rainbow-colored seedling, Hu Xiaobei prepared to head back.

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei suddenly caught a blissful scent drifting through the air...
