Hu Xiaobei didn’t know he was being targeted again!
Leaving the airport, he lazily flipped through a brochure about Chuanjiang City in his hands!
This brochure was produced by the Jiangchuan City Tourism Bureau and contained very detailed information about Chuanjiang City.
After reading it, Hu Xiaobei had a clearer understanding of Chuanjiang City.
Previously, Chuanjiang City and the entire Miaojiang were very poor because the environment here was poor.
Later, with local adaptations, they vigorously developed the tourism industry...
Tourists flooded in crazily, which transformed Chuanjiang City completely.
Now, when everyone mentioned Chuanjiang City or Miaojiang, what came to mind was no longer skies full of poisonous insects but a unique environment and Miaojiang.
"Let’s check out the nearby mountains first; if I can find the Green Beauty Fruit I need here, I won’t need to venture deeper into the forests of Miaojiang. But if I can’t find it, I’ll have to go deeper!"
After putting aside the brochure, Hu Xiaobei muttered to himself and headed straight for the mountains around Chuanjiang City...
...
Not long after Hu Xiaobei left, those three figures in black who had appeared at the airport emerged stealthily...
"001, we’ve spotted him. Should we move in now?"
"That’s right!"
The one called 001 gently moved his neck and said, "No need to rush, enjoy the process. It’s no fun if we just kill him straight away. What do you think?"
"Then..."
"Follow him for now. According to Zhang Batian, Hu Xiaobei has come to Miaojiang to find a particular herb. We can totally wait until he’s found it, then make our move. It’s much more amusing to let him die when he’s happiest."
"That makes sense!"
Hearing 001’s detailed account, the two exchanged glances, both seeing the excitement flash in each other’s eyes...
"Alright, let’s follow him. If we lose him, we’ll have to start searching all over again."
"Okay!"
They agreed and moved forward first, with 001 following behind. Quickly catching up, he soon disappeared...
...
"Indeed, without venturing deep into the forest, it’s impossible to find the Green Beauty Fruit!"
On the bus heading deep into Miaojiang, Hu Xiaobei gazed at the endless expanse of bamboo forests and silently sighed...
Just before, Hu Xiaobei had roamed the mountains near Chuanjiang City for a long time.
Although he had found some herbs, he hadn’t located the Green Beauty Fruit.
This made Hu Xiaobei feel quite regretful, and then he boarded the bus going deep into Miaojiang...
Hu Xiaobei knew that deep within Miaojiang, he would definitely find the Green Beauty Fruit...
"Young man, you’re frowning; is there something bothering you?"
Hearing the lilting question like a song from a lark, Hu Xiaobei turned his head and realized that a super cute girl had appeared beside him.
She was looking at him with concern.
"A Miaojiang girl!"
Recognizing her distinctive dress, Hu Xiaobei knew this angelic-looking girl was a local from Miaojiang...
"She’s really beautiful!"
He sincerely admired and then shook his head, saying, "No, big brother doesn’t have any troubles."
Hu Xiaobei had indeed been a bit irritated before, but looking at her, the gloom in his heart cleared away...
So now, Hu Xiaobei was telling the truth!
Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s flat denial, she pouted slightly and said, "You’re lying, big brother! You were clearly upset just now. Tell me; maybe Lian’er can help you share your worries."
"Lian’er? Is that your name?"
The girl with the adorable ponytail gently nodded...
"Yes! My name is Xue Lianlian. My mother often dreamt of snow lotuses when she was pregnant with me, so she gave me this name. Big brother, do you think it’s nice?"
"It’s nice!"
"I think so too! By the way, I still don’t know what to call you, big brother."
"My name is Hu Xiaobei."
Hu Xiaobei replied with a beaming smile.
"Hu Xiaobei? Then I’ll call you Brother Xiaobei."
"Okay!"
"Brother Xiaobei, are you here to travel?"
Hu Xiaobei shook his head slightly and replied, "No! I’m here to gather herbs."
"I knew you couldn’t be here just for tourism because, although many tourists come here, not many want to venture into the depths of Miaojiang. With all the snakes, insects, mice, and ants here, it’s really too much for most people to handle."
"Lian’er, you’re so clever."
"Of course! I’m very smart! By the way, Brother Xiaobei, come back to my tribe with me! Start gathering herbs again tomorrow morning."
"Why? It’s just past noon now!"
"Brother Xiaobei, it’s impossible to go into the forests of Miaojiang in the afternoon because the mountains here have miasma. People usually go up the mountain in the morning to gather herbs."
"I see!"
"Brother Xiaobei, what’s wrong? Don’t you want to go back to the tribe with me? Are you worried I might be a swindler?"
"No!"
"Then come back with me!"
"Well... alright! I’ll go back with you."
Hu Xiaobei agreed, as he saw her pout once more!
Hu Xiaobei knew she understood Miaojiang far better than he did, so chatting more with her would also be helpful to him...
"Yes yes, that’s more like it!"
"Nonsense, would the driver be so scared otherwise?"
As the driver opened the door, everyone on the bus began to talk uneasily.
They were all from Miaojiang, so they recognized Xiong Wei and knew him as a notorious lecher.
Over the years, he had harmed countless girls.
But even so, everyone was too terrified to speak out.
After all, Xiong Wei’s tribe was very powerful, and his grandfather was a well-known Wizard throughout Miaojiang...
"Seems like this young man named Xiong Wei has quite a bad reputation!"
Hearing everyone whispering, Hu Xiaobei snorted coldly.
At that moment, Hu Xiaobei felt Xue Lianlian, still clutching his arm, trembling all over...
Thinking she was still scared of the sudden stop, Hu Xiaobei softly comforted, "Lian’er, you don’t need to be scared anymore! The bus has stopped."
"Brother Xiaobei, it’s not the bus I’m afraid of, it’s Xiong Wei!"
Hearing her trembling voice, Hu Xiaobei realized she was genuinely afraid!
Looking at her with some distress, Hu Xiaobei said softly, "Don’t be afraid, brother is here! No one can hurt you!"
"Brother Xiaobei, do you really mean that?"
Feeling her anxiety and nervousness, Hu Xiaobei smiled reassuringly, "Yes! Brother Xiaobei wouldn’t lie to you!"
"Okay!"
As she nodded vigorously with excitement, that arrogant-faced Xiong Wei quickly walked up!
Soon, Hu Xiaobei heard his arrogant and haughty voice.
"Lian’er, where are you? Brother has come to find you."
With such an excited tone, he quickly walked over in this direction.
Hu Xiaobei now knew for sure he was here for Xue Lianlian...
"Lian’er, you’re here, I... Huh? Who are you?"
After seeing Xue Lianlian, he eagerly began to speak.
But before he could finish, he saw Xue Lianlian holding onto Hu Xiaobei’s arm; instantly, he bellowed in anger...
Hearing Xiong Wei’s angry shout, everyone looked over, and their faces were filled with astonishment!
"Who is this young man?"
"Never seen him before!"
"He doesn’t seem to be from our Miaojiang!"
As they said this, they continued to scrutinize Hu Xiaobei...
Hu Xiaobei calmly looked back at the contorted-faced Xiong Wei and replied indifferently, "Who I am is none of your business."
Glancing at Hu Xiaobei, he said arrogantly, "While it may be none of my business, Xue Lianlian is my woman, and letting my woman get so close to you is a death wish! Bow down and apologize to me now, or you won’t be leaving this place today."
