The village beauty and me!
Chapter 194 Proof of a Real Man
Chen Huan knew perfectly well that Zhao Yaru was trying to provoke him.
But he didn't care.
He immediately and crisply replied, "Whether I'm a real man or not, you'll soon find out."
"As for this bet, since you're so eager to make it happen, then I'll grant your wish."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yaru's eyes lit up. "Great! You seem like a person of your word, so please don't go back on your word!"
"I won't bully you. Once you're ready, tell me the timer. Thirty minutes, not a second less!"
"But if you're more than a second late, you lose, and you'll be a member of the Zhao family from now on."
It's clear that Zhao Yaru is quite confident in her betting plan.
They didn't think Chen Huan had even the slightest chance of turning things around.
Let's begin now.
"I already know where the medicinal herbs I'm looking for are." Chen Huan shook the bamboo basket in his hand, his expression calm and confident.
"You said it yourself, start the timer!" Zhao Yaru said with great interest.
Her cheeks even flushed slightly with excitement.
He looked even more energetic than when he first entered the forest.
Chen Huan, unhurriedly, took two steps to the left with the bamboo basket, bent down, and deftly plucked a small, light purple blade of grass.
"Purple Spirit Grass, remember what it looks like; you'll need it for healing later."
Chen Huan even had time to demonstrate it to Zhao Yaru.
Zhao Yaru was smarter and more direct; she took out her phone and took photos, saying she wanted to keep them as evidence.

Chen Huan didn't take it to heart and just smiled.
Then he took seven or eight steps to the right, reached into the tangled grass, and pulled out a green fruit.
"This thing is called peacock gall."
Zhao Yaru suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
If Chen Huancai's first medicinal herb was something he had already discovered long ago, then that would be plausible.
But this thing called peacock gall was growing in a patch of weeds, and I didn't see it at all.
How did Chen Huan manage to pinpoint the location so precisely, simply walk over, and reach out to pick it?
"Did you grow these medicinal herbs?"
"It was a scam from the very beginning, wasn't it?" Zhao Yaru boldly voiced her speculation and doubt.
Chen Huan rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding me?"
"Such a large forest, even if it were to be used to grow medicinal herbs, it would have to be planted in large, concentrated areas."
"There are no scattered seeds."
"Can't you use any common sense?"
Zhao Yaru was a little embarrassed. "Keep looking. I want to see if your luck will stay this good."
Just when Zhao Yaru thought that the series of actions just now were just a coincidence, Chen Huan's next move once again surprised her.
That guy actually went around to the back of a tree and pried out a small piece from a crack in the bark. It looked like moss or something like wood ear fungus.
"That works? How did you know?"
"Have you been here before and remembered the location of these medicinal herbs?" Zhao Yaru began to analyze again.
Surely this guy doesn't have X-ray vision, does he?
Or perhaps these medicinal herbs are connected to Chen Huan, shouting, "I'm here! I'm here! Come and get me!"
Chen Huan rolled her eyes at her again, "If it were you, could you remember that?"
Zhao Yaru certainly couldn't remember, so this suspicion was completely unfounded.
In the next five minutes, Chen Huan had already collected ten kinds of medicinal herbs right in front of her.
Zhao Yaru, who had been keeping track of the numbers and the time, grew increasingly uneasy.
Chen Huan is incredibly efficient.
The most crucial point is that Chen Huan didn't waste a single moment or hesitate at all when collecting these medicinal herbs.
Once they finished picking one, they immediately planned out the route for the next one, without ever going back or searching for it again.
It felt as if he had a sophisticated radar in his brain, knowing exactly where and what kind of medicinal herbs grew in these mountains.
"We've searched all the nearby places, now we need to find another spot." Chen Huan shook the bamboo basket in his hand, his expression still relaxed.
When they moved to a different area, they even took good care of Zhao Yaru, who wasn't in good physical condition.
Instead of actively increasing his speed, he waited for her at a leisurely pace, as if taking a stroll.
The more Chen Huan acted this way, the more Zhao Yaru felt something was wrong.
Another fifteen minutes passed, and Chen Huan's bamboo basket was already half full.
"That makes twenty-eight."
"If he's not lying to me, then all we need to do is find one more, and we'll be done!"
"Twenty minutes, and he also has to take care of me who has difficulty moving around. How can he do that?" Zhao Yaru's face looked a little ugly.
If it were a matter of losing a luxury car worth over ten million yuan, Zhao Yaru wouldn't be too bothered.
Besides, this car is the one that saved my life. Even if I give it to him for free, what difference will it make?
But the problem is, it's embarrassing.
More importantly, this means that the brilliant plan he had painstakingly devised would be completely ruined.
The initial elation had instantly dissipated, turning into deep worry and regret.
When your mind is wandering, it's easy to lose focus.
They didn't even notice that a red-banded snake was hiding in the bushes they were passing by.
Zhao Yaru's foot almost stepped on the tail of the Crimson Serpent.
This thing has a very strong sense of territory.
Feeling offended, he immediately opened his mouth and bit Zhao Yaru's fair ankle.
After feeling the stinging pain, Zhao Yaru subconsciously looked over and was terrified.
She screamed and fell to the ground with a thud.
"What's wrong?" Chen Huan, who was looking for medicinal herbs ahead, looked over at the sound.
The red-banded snake that bit someone immediately tried to escape into the grass.
"Trying to run?" Chen Huan bent down, picked up a tree branch, and threw it at him.
It struck the red-banded snake squarely on the head, knocking it unconscious.
He then quickly approached Zhao Yaru, asking, "Where did you bite?"
"On the feet."
"This thing is so brightly colored, is it highly poisonous?"
"There's no serum or antidote in this place, am I going to die?!" Zhao Yaru was terrified and almost cried.
"With me here, do you still need to worry about this?" Chen Huan reached out and pinched Zhao Yaru's ankle, quickly channeling his inner energy into it.
This directly forces the blood contaminated with snake venom to begin flowing back slowly.
A small amount of dark blood quickly seeped out from the tiny wound and dripped down.
Zhao Yaru's complexion gradually returned to normal.
Chen Huan breathed a sigh of relief. "I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. It's so dangerous."
Despite his complaints, he still carefully used his inner energy to circulate it throughout Zhao Yaru's body several times to ensure that not a trace of snake venom remained.
After the treatment ended, Zhao Yaru glanced at her phone.
She said softly, "You're willing to waste your time and lose the bet just to save me?"
Thirty minutes have passed.
Chen Huan glanced at her, his expression strange. "Saving lives is the most important thing. What does a bet matter?"
Zhao Yaru was deeply moved, and even felt a bit of admiration.
I was just about to say a few words of encouragement and comfort.
Chen Huan laughed and said, "Someone as awesome as me can actually keep up with the bet while saving people."
"So, I didn't lose."
But he didn't care.
He immediately and crisply replied, "Whether I'm a real man or not, you'll soon find out."
"As for this bet, since you're so eager to make it happen, then I'll grant your wish."
