“Elder Sister, why we must eliminate these bees that everyone judge as scouts?” Li Ling pondered it over and over again before ask about this.
“Do you confused about why we must eliminate the scout only, right?” Wu Qing already knew the reason behind it. But she only stayed silent the entire time for the sake of these children.
Li Ling nodded her head. Usually, the large swarm of the bees was patrolling around their own are. But by attacking them, they had to face the wrath from the leader of the swarm. This was what Li Ling confused over.
“It’s because only eliminating their scout while they have emergency telepathic signal mean that we only came to their most outer territory. To proceed further into the forest, we need to invite a certain someone.”
There was only a way to reach the nest without spending much effort. That was to let the queen of the yellow bees to know that they were at that place.
“Then, isn’t that the same as asking for them to overwhelm us all?” said Li Ling that turned pale. She frowned and then her face became white, that was the cycle. She tried hard to think the reason behind all of their action until now.
‘Is it because of what Sister Alice had said at that time?’ that was the first thought she could muster.
‘That the bees here actually some existence from another world? But how can no one know of it?’ the more she thought, there were more things that still unknown to the world.
“Literally, that’s true. At this moment, I can feel the presence coming to our direction. It is the largest since we entered the forest.” Wu Qing said while looking at the direction where the group had headed to.
In the sky, numerous yellow color filled the entire part of the area above the forest. Their buzzing sound made Li Ling gaped in astonishment.
“Here they come. I presume that those bees must be your doing, right?” Manstein had known about this but to think that Alice really dared to let a species from another world to live.
‘Strange, I can sense the natural law in their body even a tiny bit. But the largest presence around those bees don’t have any?’ Manstein then lost in thought. Naturally, there was something that really made him wonder.
‘Is the descendant naturally become the part of the world itself? Is that why they are not experiencing heaven’s restriction? Then for the descendant of those that once lived in another world, how can they are accepted so easily by the world’s law?’
There were more questions every time an answer came. This was the allure of the vast knowledge and for someone like Manstein and Alice who had become a scientist, their desire for the answer for anything like natural phenomenon or even like in that world, the presence of the energy that made cultivators exist.
“Whatever, I still have those restoration paste. Better to place them in my mouth.” Manstein then placed a hand of paste to his mouth but not devour it. Instead, he kept it in his mouth.
“Those bees are returning!” Ye Xiaobai finally realized and also placed the restoration paste to his mouth and just like what Manstein had done, he did not devour it. It also included Ye Yingyuan and Ye Qingcheng.
“Here, you have to keep it inside your mouth.” Wu Qing reminded Li Ling to placed the paste to her mouth.
“Why? Isn’t this paste function is to replenish the energy?” Li Ling had a premonition that something that needed a large amount of energy would be used for something.
“Just keep it inside your mouth.” Wu Qing said urgently before she used a certain incantation to form a thin layer of protection around her body. Then after all of them had done exactly the same, their energy was being sucked slowly.
‘If it is not for the fact that you are someone that I know..’ Manstein felt that his entire being was sucked dry without much resistance! Then he slowly gulped down the paste and the effect was there to see.
‘Sorry. This is one of the punishments that we will all get if we trespass their territory and this was considered a light punishment.’ Alice said nonchalantly before looking at the swarm once again.
‘She still recognizes my soul energy after all. She is really determined to learn the law of this world, even I can see the results from her descendant!’ thought Alice.
Only the queen of the yellow bees was not accepted by the world’s law and as for her descendant, they were all naturally united with the world’s law.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
‘Yes, even I also suffered the same fate of being rejected in this world.’ Manstein afraid that his rate of growth in this world would have been suppressed if not for the fact that there were ways to break through all of that obstacles.
“Gather!” a sound that was sent from energy transmission could be heard to all of them. They instantly grouped and together, they saw in the front of them was a large bee.
Their sizes now were two or three times larger than the first they had defeated. But the most dazzling figure among them was two human-like bees that flew to their direction. They then landed fifty meters from them.
“Give..way.” it was the man that had the antennae protruding from his head. His facial structure was exactly the same as another yellow bee around him. Looks like he was the highest chain command for the hive.
Soon, those bees did not dare to fly any longer. They also landed and obediently formed a path for their queen to tread.
“I can smell you wherever you are. Come out please.” It was the announcement from the queen herself.
“Should you really go out?” Manstein worriedly asked. Even though the world’s law rejected the queen but the entire group of those bees was accepted instead. They emitted an energy equal to someone at the late stage of Foundation Establishment in average.
“Don’t worry, she is just some old acquaintance. Then, how should I appear?” Alice pondered before she used her technique to appear.
Slowly, all the gaze focused on the appearance of someone that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
“It’s been a long time, Theresa.” When the two’s gaze met each other, they could see the development, struggles, and experience from their eyes.
Both of them had a certain charm that could attract the attention from many gazes. The queen, Theresa had a majestic and domineering aura on her while Alice had a calm and rather cold.
“Yes, a long time.” Theresa looked at the others too before her gaze fell upon Manstein first.
“This man, what did you do to invoke the seal?” Theresa asked something that made the rest of the group know about it. That was why Manstein’s expression turned ugly when she deliberately revealed it so openly.
“Oh, please don’t speak about that in this place,” Alice warned Theresa. This made the situation become more tense because the man that stood beside Theresa immediately took action.
He stabbed his weapon in the direction where Alice placed herself. She currently used her pseudo body form to temporary appear but when she saw the attack, a finger was raised.
A booming sound echoed and even before the first sound was gone, a second one could be heard. But to their surprise, the person who had been defeated was the man with his strange face.
“His Foundation Pillar is good. Looks like I really started to enjoy that exchange.” Alice then retracted her hands that previously opened. She just used her energy to fight him.
“But if you two fight here and now, I’m afraid that the punishment will descend upon us.” Theresa said before continuing, “So, please restrain yourself General!”
Hearing his own queen ordered that, the man instantly stopped all of his offensive stances and returned to Theresa’s side. As for Ye Yingyuan who had watched it all, he found out that the man used both his legs and an invisible wing that appeared from his back to accelerate his speed.
But at the same time, he thought about the words that The Queen had said before.
‘The seal? Why did Elder Brother not tell me?’ Ye Yingyuan did not know what kind of seal they were talking about.
“What business do you have here?” asked Theresa. “I can feel your aura since almost a month ago you know.” She continued to say those words to Alice.
“Do you still not get rid of that item yet?” Alice asked to make sure. This made the queen looked at her in annoyance.
“If not for you are the one that spared me and my colony, I will not let this matter go!” said Theresa in anger. Only Alice and Theresa knew what they really mean but for the others, it was as if they were quarreling with each other.
“And thanks for your energy. Hmm, so there are two people with body constitution here. I wonder who~” Theresa then flew around the group.
Ye Yingyuan felt like his entire body was frozen on the spot, unable to move. The domineering aura that the queen of yellow bees gave to him really made him stunned. That was also included the other like Ye Xiaobai and Ye Qingcheng.
‘I can’t even retrieve my weapons!’ Ye Xiaobai relied on his self-made weapon but when he faced the situation, he could not even use it.
“So it’s you two!” surrounded by a swarm of bees, adding to the fact that the queen herself was looking for them made all of the attention focused on her.
Then Theresa landed at the place where Ye Yingyuan stood. He barely composed himself but then he felt that someone was right behind him.
Even though it was faint but he clearly knew the person just smelling from the fragrance it gave. He did not need to turn around because he could detect the presence and that smell also came in as a factor.
‘Why do you need to stand behind me as if I can shoulder the vastness of the heavens.’ Ye Yingyuan lamented his already bad luck.
“There is Pure Yang energy circulated around your body. Hmm, and there is also a faint Yin energy too in the part of the forest that frozen over there. Tell me if I’m not wrong but today, I meet a bunch of people with good potential huh.”
A sorrow look from her facial muscle made the queen like a poor person that just lost its only chance to become rich. But only Alice knew the reason behind it entirely.
“And..there’s also a minuscule smell of that Tracking Dust. Even though they did not possibly contact it but someone that they met before must be had those dust with him. You already ordered someone to get rid of it, right?”
“Of course.” Alice rolled her eyes. She ordered someone to get rid of that.
“Why my nose suddenly felt itch!?” Wang Yu rubbed his nose immediately. In front of him was that exact person which caused trouble. If it was not for him, there would be no so much disciple from another sect that became the patient at the town.
That Li Kuang, currently unconscious, was lying on the stone bed.
“Senior Wang, sorry for the trouble that he caused.” Said Li Dian with a heavy sound in each of his words.
“Don’t mind it and assist me. After this, I have to activate the formation once again.” Wang Yu quickly let out a certain cup and filled it with water that came from a gourd. He controlled it like guiding a flying snake to the direction where the cup was.
Then Wang Yu flipped Li Kuang’s body and using his energy to enhance his sight, he could see a faint light that appeared at Li Kuang’s body like the stars in the sky.
“Begin!” Wang Yu signaled his process and thus Li Dian started to pour his energy.
“You better not touch a hair from all of them..” Alice said coldly to Theresa. Returning to the forest, the group now felt nervous but since The Goddess said that they would be fine, they believed in her.
“Of course. But that man...is he your friend or is it more to that?” Theresa suddenly asked something that made everyone around them got curious.
‘What is that fanatical look!’ Manstein still did not know the weight of the title that Alice held in this world. Of course, once he knew for real, he would gasp in awe as well.
The look from both the bee around them which still produced buzzing sounds and even the people from the group, even the older ones like Wu Qing also looked at him and Alice intently.
“What are you doing, suddenly changing the topic!?” though the sound that Alice produced still sounded cold, but Manstein narrowed his eyes because he found something more to it.
‘Is it just my imagination or she sounds like flustered?’ Manstein thought.
“Okay.” Theresa did not pursue the matter and instead, she looked at Ye Yingyuan.
“Your determination really impress me. Do you want to protect her despite in this helpless situation? What a great man and a fool.”
Ye Yingyuan who heard that suddenly felt cold on his neck. He felt that nothing could hide from the queen’s eyes that now looking at him. Indeed, he had the intention to protect the weakest one among them.
“You all really well in eliminated my scout units. Besides, shouldn’t you responsible for what you did to my kin?”
