"Xiaobei brother?"
Yao Ling also tried calling him, although she had never called him that before, so it felt a bit awkward.
Seeing Yao Lingâs awkwardness that was hard to hide, Hu Xiaobei laughed and gently encouraged, "You might feel awkward now, but youâll get used to it slowly! So, donât be shy, you can call me that a few more times, I wonât mind!"
As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei carefully watched them!
Honestly, Hu Xiaobei was really happy, because the more he looked at them, the better they looked...
"Oh!"
Exchanging glances, they nodded shyly...
They didnât dislike Hu Xiaobei, so they didnât have much of an opinion against calling him âXiaobei brother.â
But previously, they had never called anyone like that, so it still felt awkward...
Seeing them still a bit bashful and reserved, Hu Xiaobei was about to say something more when he caught a whiff of a rich medicinal scent.
Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, holding medicinal herbs in its arms and looking at him hopefully.
"The medicinal herbs I asked you to find, have you found them all?"
Hu Xiaobei glanced at the herbs it held and spoke calmly.
"Yes, Master! Iâve found all the herbs you need."
Responding confidently, it quickly lined up all the herbs before Hu Xiaobei.
The Treasure-hunting Rabbit knew it was still in a state of making amends.
So it dared not show any delay.
Hu Xiaobei glanced at the neatly placed medicinal herbs.
After looking, Hu Xiaobei was about to say something when he suddenly heard a very shocking statement.
"Guaiguai, these herbs are the best from the Medicinal Field, how did you manage this?"
Yao Ling asked and stared dumbfounded at the Treasure-hunting Rabbit with its big ears dangling.
She was really amazed...
If it were one or two, it could be attributed to luck.
But now, all of them were the best, it couldnât simply be credited to luck anymore.
Because solely relying on luck, itâs impossible to find so many perfect herbs.
Seeing Yao Lingâs stunned expression, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit immediately started to brag, "Itâs extremely simple for me, I just have this capability."
"Is that so?"
Seeing Yao Ling being bluffed, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the proud Treasure-hunting Rabbit and said calmly, "Donât listen to its nonsense, this is its talent. Without this innate talent, it probably wouldnât find anything."
"I..."
The Treasure-hunting Rabbitâs eye twitched!
If Hei or Xiaobai said that, it would retaliate directly.
But now it was Hu Xiaobei saying it...
So, it dared not act and could only keep the frustration to itself.
Ignoring its frustration, Hu Xiaobei quickly began sorting them!
Many herbs would react with each other, so some can be used together, but for others, itâs really impossible.
Hu Xiaobei understood this, so now all the herbs were sorted according to their properties.
"The basic materials are almost ready, but still need a few important main herbs!"
Mumbling to himself, Hu Xiaobei turned to the Treasure-hunting Rabbit.
Original frustration from the Treasure-hunting Rabbit turned into a bad premonition suddenly for some reason.
"Whatâs happening?"
Muttering like this, it looked up!
When it saw Hu Xiaobei looking at it meaningfully, it knew why it had this bad premonition.
Sighing silently, it looked at Hu Xiaobei and solemnly said, "Master, is there anything else you need? If there is, you can tell me everything, as long as I can do it, Iâll go to any length. Even if itâs through blades and fire."
Hearing the Treasure-hunting Rabbitâs exaggerated statement, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand and said, "Donât be so anxious, at present, I donât plan to make you face blades and fire, I just still lack a few medicinal herbs. I need you to help me find them."
"Master, your need is my need, just tell me directly!"
After confirming Hu Xiaobei was just asking him to find herbs, it completely relaxed.
In its eyes, finding herbs is minor.
To itself, at least, itâs minor, because with its capability, finding a few herbs is quite easy.
"Since youâre so willing, Iâll tell you! Two ginseng roots of three hundred years, one Polygonum multiflorum of four hundred years, two hundred-year..."
Hu Xiaobei rattled off seven or eight types.
The lowest in years were over two hundred...
Initially, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit listened to Hu Xiaobei attentively, but later, it completely wilted.
After finishing, Hu Xiaobei glanced at it and said calmly, "Why do you suddenly look dispirited?"
"Iâm fine! Iâm fine, just suddenly feeling a bit tired!"
The Treasure-hunting Rabbit shook its head lightly.
Afterward, it rubbed its chubby front paws and said softly, slightly embarrassed, "Previously, I wandered around the Medicinal Garden quite a few times, so I know whatâs there. The herbs you need now donât seem to be complete in the garden."
"I know! I wasnât planning on you finding them in the garden; you need to figure it out yourself. As long as you can find these herbs, the prior issues will be completely wiped off."
Hearing Hu Xiaobeiâs words, its eyes sparkled, "Master, is that true?"
With a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei confidently said, "Yes, itâs true, a complete wipe-off!"
"Alright, Master, just wait, Iâll go find them for you, but it might take a little longer this time."
"No problem, Iâm waiting for you!"
"Alright!"
After saying this, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit disappeared suddenly...
"This time, it should be serious!"
Mumbling to himself, Hu Xiaobei heard Yao Ling speak softly, "Xiaobei brother, the herbs you need are quite precious. It might have a hard time managing, shall I go help?"
Being Yao Ling, she understood herbs more.
Therefore, she knew that the herbs just mentioned are really precious.
She thought the Treasure-hunting Rabbit might struggle to handle them alone, so she wanted to catch up and help.
"Although it looks somewhat nonchalant normally, it still has its strength, so you donât need to help, just wait here quietly!"
"Really?"
"Of course itâs true!"
With a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei looked at them and said, "You both wait a bit, Iâll go process these Medicinal herbs properly!"
"Need help?"
They spoke out in unison.
Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly and said, "Alright!"
Hu Xiaobei knew that sitting there might make them overthink, so it was better to have them join in, which also eased their emotions quite a lot.
Indeed...
After agreeing, Hu Xiaobei noticed they were much happier...
