Chapter 1861 - 1856: Bitter Woes

"Master, you’re here!"

Though feeling a bit down inside, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit had to put on a cheerful face.

However, unless you were blind, you’d see the sadness in its heart...

Honestly, everyone could understand its frustration.

...

"Yes, I’m here. I arrived earlier! By the way, your harvest this time is quite impressive! But, you have me to thank for these excellent results, don’t you?"

Hu Xiaobei noticed the Treasure-hunting Rabbit’s distress but pretended not to know.

Instead, he nonchalantly took credit for all the benefits.

"Xiaobei, my brother, is really quite thick-skinned!"

"Indeed!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s pointed remarks, Yao Ling and Cao Lingbing, who stood beside him, shared a meaningful smile.

They genuinely began to sympathize with the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, Hei, and Xiaobai!

They felt it was really hard to gain any advantage when dealing with Hu Xiaobei...

"Yes, if it weren’t for the master’s suggestion, there’s no way we could have had such a good harvest, so we won’t forget the master’s share!"

The Treasure-hunting Rabbit was indeed quite savvy...

So it fully understood what Hu Xiaobei was implying...

Understanding Hu Xiaobei’s intention, it simply followed his lead...

It knew there’s no point in trying to outsmart someone so much stronger...

It really had some ability, but compared to Hu Xiaobei, it was far behind...

So, better not to play any tricks in front of him.

After all, it had just gotten off his blacklist, and landing back on it again would be embarrassing...

Upon hearing the Treasure-hunting Rabbit’s words, Hu Xiaobei glanced at it, smiled broadly, and said, "Since you’re being so considerate, I’d be happy to accept! However, I’m too embarrassed to take much, so I’ll just casually pick a few items!"

The Treasure-hunting Rabbit, which had been looking like a withered eggplant, was suddenly revitalized after hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, "Master, you... you only plan to pick a few items?"

It was genuinely excited...

Because if Hu Xiaobei only took a few items, it wouldn’t matter much...

"Yes, just a few would do!"

Glancing at its stunned expression, Hu Xiaobei calmly spoke again.

Truthfully, Hu Xiaobei hadn’t intended to take any at all...

Over the years, Hu Xiaobei had been collecting valuable items, so he really wasn’t lacking precious herbs...

But in the end, Hu Xiaobei decided to take a little.

Because he found some herbs which would benefit Cao Lingbing’s recovery.

With them, Cao Lingbing’s body could recover faster...

Once assured that Hu Xiaobei didn’t actually plan to take much, it swiftly moved aside, "Alright, Master, feel free to choose! You can take anything you like."

"Okay!"

With a light smile, Hu Xiaobei walked over.

Very soon, Hu Xiaobei selected a few herbs from the towering pile of herbs.

"They’re not even the most precious! It seems the master didn’t get greedy this time!"

Looking at the few herbs Hu Xiaobei chose, it let out a long sigh of relief...

...

After making his selection, Hu Xiaobei looked at the Treasure-hunting Rabbit and said, "The rest is yours! But make sure to divide them well, don’t let any discord arise, understood?"

"Understood!"

The Treasure-hunting Rabbit nodded quickly...

Hei and Xiaobai also nodded eagerly...

Seeing them nodding, Hu Xiaobei didn’t say anything more.

Hu Xiaobei knew that after what had happened before, their relationships had improved significantly.

So, there shouldn’t be a repeat of uneven distribution issues.

...

"Sister, the herbs Xiaobei chose are actually beneficial for your health."

Upon hearing this, a trace of emotion flashed in Cao Lingbing’s eyes.

She felt Hu Xiaobei did that intentionally.

He purposely acted carefree, aiming to ensure she got those herbs she particularly needed.

Thinking like this, she saw Hu Xiaobei walking towards her.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Hu Xiaobei’s enthusiastic remark.

"You’re really lucky, I just happened to come across these herbs, and coincidentally, they’re all beneficial for your body."

Glancing at Hu Xiaobei, she softly questioned, "Coincidentally? Is it really coincidental?"

"Of course it’s coincidental!"

"I understand!"

With a gentle smile and without dwelling on it further, Cao Lingbing took the herbs Hu Xiaobei handed over.

Watching Cao Lingbing take the herbs, Hu Xiaobei smiled, then turned again to the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, "Talk to your clients properly, this is just the first batch, in the future, there will be a continuous supply of this Poison Liquid!"

"Master, you... you’re not joking with me, right! There really will be a continuous supply of Poison Liquid?"

The Treasure-hunting Rabbit’s eyes widened...

Not only its eyes, all its hair stood on end.

Seeing its extremely excited appearance, Hu Xiaobei knew it was genuinely thrilled now.

"Have a little more composure, okay? We’ve seen the world, haven’t we?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s reminder, it quickly calmed down.

After calming down, it looked tightly at Hu Xiaobei again and said, "Master, you’re really not joking with me, are you."

"No, I’m not joking with you, I’ll continue to provide in the future, so you can continue trading with them."

"Master, there’s no one in this world better to me than you. In the future, if you tell me to go east, I’ll go east; if you tell me to go west, I’ll go west, truly, I won’t have a single complaint."

"Alright then, I look forward to your performance! I hope you won’t disappoint me!"

"Definitely won’t, definitely won’t!"

"Okay!"

With a slight nod, Hu Xiaobei didn’t continue on this topic with it but turned to look at Yao Ling and Cao Lingbing, "Alright, things here are settled, let’s head back!"

"Okay!"

They quickly agreed...

The Treasure-hunting Rabbit watched Hu Xiaobei and the others disappear, then turned excitedly...

Looking at Hei and Xiaobai, it quickly said, "The master has been really good to us, in the future, we must repay him well, got it?"

"We know!"

"Yes!"

They nodded vigorously...

In fact, even if it hadn’t said these words, they would never betray Hu Xiaobei, as they had already recognized in their hearts...

They knew Hu Xiaobei was their biggest support in this life.

Once Hu Xiaobei and the two of them returned to the tranquil courtyard, he looked at them, and softly said, "Alright, let’s continue the treatment!"

"Continue? Wasn’t the treatment just done? Don’t we need a bit of time to buffer?"

Hearing the surprised remark, Hu Xiaobei looked at Yao Ling, who was standing beside Cao Lingbing, and said blandly, "When I said to continue the treatment, I wasn’t referring to others, but to you!"

"Me? Xiaobei, are you joking with me! There’s nothing wrong with my body!"

Yao Ling looked at Hu Xiaobei in surprise...

She thought Hu Xiaobei was mistaken...

Because there was indeed nothing wrong with her body.

Previously, she had overexerted herself a bit, but now she had completely recovered.

Seeing Yao Ling’s surprised look, Hu Xiaobei said softly, "Recently, haven’t you clearly felt that your body’s condition has improved significantly compared to before?"
