"What are you babbling about? What do you mean my pants are wet? That's just dew from running just now! Do you think that trash could scare me into wetting myself? Is that possible?"

After defending himself loudly, he continued with an air of arrogance, "I'm not bragging to you all, but that was because I didn't understand his strength! If he shows up now, I can beat him into kneeling and begging for mercy. I..."

He hadn't finished speaking when suddenly there came a rustling noise from the bushes...

Hearing this, he freaked out and quickly knelt down...

Soon, he shouted towards the bushes, "Master Xiaobei, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I... I won't brag anymore! I'm really wrong!"

After saying this, he shivered as he stared at the man-high bushes in front of him!

Shortly after, he saw a white rabbit dart out...

At that moment, his expression was extraordinarily comical!

...

"Aiyo, you really weren't lying! You really did kneel and beg for mercy!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this sarcastic taunt, the man kneeling on the ground's face turned even uglier...

He was about to say something when he heard Yamamoto-kun's growl first!

"Enough, stop causing trouble among yourselves. If you have the guts, go find Hu Xiaobei!"

Hearing Yamamoto-kun's furious shout, they flinched and instantly shriveled up!

They knew the gap between themselves and Hu Xiaobei was too wide, so if they really went back to find him now, that would truly be seeking their own deaths!

Seeing that they had nothing to say, Yamamoto-kun spoke in a cold voice, "Waste, you're all useless!"

They didn't dare respond to his scolding...

Seeing them as docile as kittens, Yamamoto-kun slightly furrowed his brow and said, "Alright, part of this is on me too. Previously, I didn't properly investigate just how strong Hu Xiaobei is. That's why things turned out this way!"

Hearing Yamamoto's words, they nodded in deep agreement...

They knew their defeat this time was really because they didn't understand Hu Xiaobei...

If they had known more about him, they surely wouldn't have lost face like this...

Seeing their acknowledging nods, Yamamoto-kun let out a faint smile.

"Later on, let's investigate his detailed information thoroughly again, then we can definitely finish him!"

"Yes, as long as we're well-prepared and work together with concerted effort, we will certainly be able to eradicate him!"

"Right!"

Feeling their excitement mounting, Yamamoto-kun nodded and said, "We indeed have a gap with Hu Xiaobei, but everyone has their weaknesses. As long as we find Hu Xiaobei's weakness, then he will be defenseless! We are very skilled at this, right?"

Understanding Yamamoto-kun's intent, they let out a sinister laugh...

They knew what Yamamoto-kun meant now was that they could resort to any means necessary...

Seeing that they all understood his meaning, Yamamoto-kun coldly gazed into the distance.

He knew that even if he had to be unscrupulous, he had to achieve his goal; otherwise, the only path left for him would be death...

"Hu Xiaobei, when you're off to the other world, don't blame me. If you're going to blame someone, blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have! So, you must die!"

With this sneer, he ominously moved his neck...

...

Hu Xiaobei was unaware of these underlings preparing for their comeback, and he was still on his way back with Mu Zhenzhen...

After driving back to Sanfeng City, Hu Xiaobei sat up straight...

Taking a look at Mu Zhenzhen, who was driving, Hu Xiaobei directly asked, "Zhenzhen, what do you know about that Japanese person named Tanaka Kitano?"

"You... you know about Tanaka Kitano?"

As she asked this, Mu Zhenzhen suddenly hit the brakes hard...

"Darn it! Thank goodness for seat belts!"

With the corner of his mouth twitching slightly, Hu Xiaobei said, "Yes! I got the information on Tanaka Kitano from that ninja's mouth."

Previously, Hu Xiaobei had taken the ninja to the woods.

Hu Xiaobei wanted to pry out of him what he wanted to know!

Originally, Hu Xiaobei thought it would be difficult, but unexpectedly, the shivering man had spilled everything, naturally including various information about Tanaka Kitano...

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, Mu Zhenzhen took a deep breath, "Since you know about Tanaka Kitano, you know how terrifying it is to offend him, right? After I go back, Yan'er and I are leaving!"

"Leaving, why?"

"We... we can't implicate you!"

Hearing this so-called reason, Hu Xiaobei laughed, "What a joke, do you think I'm afraid of getting implicated?"

"But... but Tanaka Kitano is really strong! It's really not worth it for you to confront him head-on!"

"No worries! I'm strong too, so you and Yao Yan'er just stay put and let me treat you. Once you're healed, and you want to leave, I won't stop you."

"I..."

Hearing Mu Zhenzhen still wanting to refuse, Hu Xiaobei slightly frowned, a bit angry, said, "If you keep refusing without reason, I'll spank you! Just so you know, I mean what I say, and if I do it in public, you'll be the one embarrassed."

"I..."

She opened her mouth but didn't dare say anymore...

Seeing her bashfully at a loss, Hu Xiaobei laughed heartily and said, "Alright, let's continue on our way."

"Okay, I understand!"

Having said that, she smiled!

At that moment, she knew she had truly found someone who could protect her, so she and Yao Yan'er no longer had to live in fear...

...

"Zhenzhen, did... did you find the medicinal herbs?"

On the second floor of the shop, Yao Yan'er, with her face covered by a white silk scarf, became very nervous when she saw Mu Zhenzhen appear...

Feeling Yao Yan'er's nervousness, Mu Zhenzhen smiled, "Found it, once Master Xiaobei and I are in action, failure is impossible!"

Having said this, Mu Zhenzhen shook the medicine basket in her hand quickly.

"I knew it would be like this!"

"Yes! Little brother Xiaobei is reliable!"

"Mhm!"

Standing next to Yao Yan'er, Murong Qingqing and others burst into laughter upon hearing Mu Zhenzhen's words...

Hearing their excited cheers, Yao Yan'er smiled, relieved...

She knew she finally had the chance to return to the spotlight...

Seeing Yao Yan'er smile, Mu Zhenzhen took a step forward and said, "Yan'er, Master Xiaobei is downstairs making preparations for the treatment, and it will be ten minutes before he can treat you! Let's chat for a bit."

"Okay!"

Although she didn't know what Mu Zhenzhen wanted to discuss, Yao Yan'er agreed quickly.

...

In the room, watching Mu Zhenzhen lock the door, Yao Yan'er whispered, "Sister Zhenzhen, is it so necessary to be so formal?"

After glancing at Yao Yan'er, Mu Zhenzhen said, "Yan'er, those people are on to us."

Hearing this solemn statement, Yao Yan'er, who had been relaxed before, suddenly trembled...

At that instant, she felt so cold!

That kind of cold came from deep within her soul, leaving her truly at a loss!

Feeling her body shiver, Mu Zhenzhen quickly walked over, "Yan'er, what... what's wrong?"

"Sister Zhenzhen, how... how did you know they were coming?"

Upon Yao Yan'er's question, Mu Zhenzhen took a deep breath and recounted in detail what had happened before...

This naturally included Hu Xiaobei's impressive feats...

"Master Xiaobei... is Master Xiaobei really that amazing?"

"Yes, even more incredible than what I've described! Yan'er, we really need to establish a good relationship with Master Xiaobei! Only by doing so can we stop fearing those devils!"

"Yes! I understand!"

While Yao Yan'er was nodding, Murong Qingqing, You Na, and Fang Xiaoxiao went to find Hu Xiaobei, who was making preparations...

Surrounded by them, Hu Xiaobei was a bit surprised...

"What... what does this mean?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's question, they exchanged glances...

Murong Qingqing spoke up somewhat gravely, "Little brother Xiaobei, how much do you know about the cause of the scar on sister Yan'er's face?"

Hu Xiaobei's lips twitched slightly as he hedged, "I... I don't know much! She said before that it was an accident."

"Do you think we are fools?"

"That's right! If you don't tell us what you know, we'll ignore you!"

"Uh..."

Hu Xiaobei smiled wryly and rubbed his nose!

Hu Xiaobei knew he had to speak now...

Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei said, "I can tell you, but this is Yao Yan'er's personal matter. You should try not to spread it around, okay?"

"Mhm!"

After they nodded, Hu Xiaobei recounted his encounter with the ninjas...

And also told them that Tanaka Kitano was the main culprit!

"This Tanaka Kitano is a real beast!"

"Indeed!"

While Murong Qingqing and You Na cursed the main culprit, Fang Xiaoxiao stared at Hu Xiaobei and said earnestly, "Big brother Xiaobei, you must not let him off!"

Looking at Fang Xiaoxiao, Hu Xiaobei said, "Don't worry, I won't let him go!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's resolute words, they all smiled!

They knew that Tanaka Kitano was in for it, having caught Hu Xiaobei's attention...

"Alright, go on ahead. I'll finish my preparations, then I'll take good care of Yao Yan'er's treatment!"

"Yes!"

After speaking, they swiftly walked away. After they left, Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath and continued with his preparations...

...

In a quiet room in the corner of the second floor...

Hu Xiaobei drew the curtains closed...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei looked at the brand-new set of surgical tools he had just purchased...

Hu Xiaobei knew he needed to cut open the wound to properly apply the medicine...

"This is the first time I'm performing surgery in the real sense, I really need to be as careful as I can!"

While Hu Xiaobei was thinking this, there was a knock at the door...

Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei called out, "Come in!"

Following Hu Xiaobei's words, the door was gently pushed open.

Soon enough, Yao Yan'er wearing a white veil, walked in slowly...

"Beautiful!"

After a compliment, Hu Xiaobei said, "Please, have a seat! I..."

Before he could finish, Hu Xiaobei was startled because at that moment, he saw her suddenly kneel down...
