Ch. 41Gathering Herbs! Li Qiuping Arrives with Reinforcements

Bibi Dong joins a group of Soul Masters in the Star Dou Forest to gather Hundred-Repelling Grass and other herbs. She also hopes to develop a remedy that will keep disease-carrying, venomous Soul Beasts away.
The party survives several attacks by weaker Soul Beasts. Bibi Dong treats the injured, while Ning Chengyi proves himself capable in combat. The group reaches a huge tree marked with Old Zhu’s red cord, where Bibi Dong carefully harvests the herbs.
Ning Chengyi notices signs that someone may be following them. Nearby, Li Qiuping, the young master of the Fierce Wolf Group, waits with five Soul Elders and other subordinates, intending to seize Bibi Dong.
Li Qiuping’s group arrives openly. He makes clear that Bibi Dong is his target and crudely offers Ning Chengyi a place in his service. Old Zhao organizes the party into a defensive formation, putting the children—including Ning Chengyi—in the center.
Rather than attacking immediately, Li Qiuping lights Beast-luring incense, creating a new danger for the party.

Bibi Dong shows practical medical and herbal knowledge, carefully treating injuries and identifying plants. Her competence convinces Ning Chengyi that she is not the woman from his memories.
Ning Chengyi demonstrates growing strength and perceptiveness: he recognizes Li Qiuping’s intentions and senses the danger of being followed. Though assigned to protect the younger group, he remains alert.
Li Qiuping reveals himself as arrogant and predatory, using his numerical and rank advantage to intimidate the party and pursue Bibi Dong.
Old Zhao responds to the threat by rallying the Soul Masters and prioritizing the children’s safety. Bibi Dong, meanwhile, remains behind the tree and appears unaware of the confrontation.

Vigilance and survival: Even familiar routes are dangerous, and careless travelers risk death.
Strength and social power: Ning Chengyi earns respect through ability, while Li Qiuping relies on his group’s superior numbers and rank.
Care versus exploitation: Bibi Dong uses her skills to heal and gather responsibly; Li Qiuping treats her as an object to possess.
Identity and mistaken recognition: Ning Chengyi’s observations separate Bibi Dong from the person he had associated with her.

Li Qiuping reveals that the incense he is holding is Beast-Luring Incense, which will draw a devastating beast tide to the group. The Fierce Wolf Group has set a trap intended to leave everyone dead.
Old Zhao orders the adults to fight a path through so Old Xu can get the children to safety. Nearly forty Soul Masters battle four Soul Elders and nine Soul Grandmasters, but poor coordination and the need to protect inexperienced fighters leave them at a disadvantage.
As the beast tide approaches, Li Qiuping and a Soul Elder called Third Uncle go around a great tree to seize Bibi Dong. Li Qiuping crudely demands that she become his wife; she refuses.
When Third Uncle attacks, Bibi Dong reveals her power: four Soul Rings mark her as a Soul Ancestor, and a single palm strike kills him.
Li Qiuping panics and wets himself. Bibi Dong is relieved the tree concealed her from Ning Chengyi, who senses a familiar but puzzling aura and begins to wonder about her.
The enemy fighters abandon their plan and flee as the beast tide nears. Old Zhao prepares to retrieve Bibi Dong, but she emerges unharmed before he can reach her.

Old Zhao and Old Xu act protectively, prioritizing the children’s escape and trusting one another to carry out their roles. Old Zhao intends to go back for Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong shifts from quietly gathering herbs to decisively defending herself. Her strength and composure contrast sharply with Li Qiuping’s bullying, though she is careful to keep her identity or abilities from drawing Ning Chengyi’s notice.
Li Qiuping is exposed as cruel, entitled, and predatory. His confidence collapses instantly when Bibi Dong kills Third Uncle.
Ning Chengyi observes the fight and privately assesses the group’s weaknesses. Bibi Dong’s unexpected power sparks his curiosity.
The newly trained Soul Masters show courage and solidarity, including support fighters who continue healing the wounded under pressure.

Cruelty and exploitation: Li Qiuping uses the beast tide as a weapon and treats Bibi Dong as something to possess.
Courage and self-sacrifice: Old Zhao, Old Xu, and the others risk themselves to protect the children and one another.
Hidden strength and deception: Bibi Dong conceals formidable power, while the Fierce Wolf Group disguises murder as an accident caused by nature.
Survival under pressure: The approaching beast tide forces both sides to abandon their immediate plans and confront a larger danger.
