Even though the sky was darker than usual but the radiance the hive had given to the forest was like a lamp in a dark room.

After flying to the hive, they now arrived at the entrance of the hive. The color the hive gave to them ranged from yellow to golden both in the floor and the wall as well as the ceiling parts. For the younger ones, they were astonished by the glamour the interior gave to them.

“It’s beautiful. How did they make it?” asked Wu Qing in amazement.

“Not only beautiful but it is also strong as well!” commented Ye Qingcheng. He naughtily punched the floor as a test but even his strike did not leave a single trace!

“Please don’t try to break our property.” The man that always stayed near Theresa warned Ye Qingcheng harshly., not giving any chance for them to resist.

“We better not make any unnecessary problem here.” Manstein reminded them. Then he turned his body to Ye Xiaobai who stood beside him. Manstein patted his shoulders to gain his attention.

“What’s the matter, Brother?” Ye Xiaobai became serious when he saw the looks that Manstein gave to him.

“This is the right place for learning. I only wonder if we can gain the permission from that man.” Manstein silently peeked the man who ordered the bees to prepared the place for Theresa.

“I don’t know either. And I think that he is really protective to the point of madness?” Ye Xiaobai said in a low voice. Every time he saw that man, the first impression that man gave to Ye Xiaobai was excessive protection.

Then, Theresa sat on the throne that located at the far end of the most luxurious and largest chamber.

“Shouldn’t we positioned ourselves with our group?” Ye Yingyuan was forced to follow Theresa but he never expected that he had to stand right beside her! And it also included one person too as well.

Then Ye Yingyuan looked around only to be more disappointed. It was because of the reaction that everyone gave to him. For example, Manstein only looked at him with a pitiful look and even waved his hands to him!

Another example for that was when his own brother smiled wryly after seeing him. But Ye Yingyuan just realized that other than the place, the situation was also wrong!

‘He is really fortunate!’ Alice said to Manstein. Manstein just nodded his head, even showed Ye Yingyuan his body language which meant that he supported Ye Yingyuan fully.

“This smell, is this that honey?” Manstein had a good impression of the honey. No matter what, honey will become major healthy consumable in every place. It was just the extracting process that really matters.

“Yes, the honey that can cure even the Black Plague. But not only that, this honey is coveted even by the superpowers in the center of the continent.”

Alice said while she saw the formerly nectar that slowly transformed into honey in one of the chambers that far from the main chamber. There was dense energy that rotated in the hive, accumulating itself and merged to the newly produced honey.

“If I meditate here, Can I enter the initial stage?” because of dense energy in the hive that Manstein had this thought. But of course, he had to ask for the pointer by both Alice and Theresa to made reference.

‘Previously, I can’t even absorb the energies around me! Is there any tricks in it?’ the way of absorbing the energy was not recorded in his device and even with the self-meditation Manstein still had not found a good method.

“Maybe I should ask for your help from the start.” In the end, he had no other way out from this dilemma.

“That’s why I bring you here.” Alice turned serious. Then she continued, “But you really make me worry to death by your spiritual root! Just look at it for a moment and everyone will know that you are unable to gather the energy in your surroundings!”

Even though she once encountered similar case but Manstein acted as if he did not care. But at the same time, Alice felt the potential from his spiritual root.

‘It contained every energy acceptor in this world! But the impact from it was the process to gather the energy was reduced so much that my previous self is much better than him.’

Even though the spiritual root became the measurement for the innate talent at absorbing the energy scattered around the world, which indirectly reduced the time for a person to ascend the next stage but it was in the end only a factor.

‘But I’m not sure with Willpower and Intent that Senior has.’

“Listen, my colony, my descendant.” Theresa raised her hand to signaled them that she needed their attention.

Her eyes stared at her own kin with love and care. The greatness of a bee was, the entire colony both male or female was born only from a single queen, a single female bee without the interference of any other male!

‘Oh, I remember now. Bees actually don’t have any father. I can call them fatherless!’ Manstein remembered this one fact that made him dazed for a while.

Manstein saw the look that Ye Yingyuan gave to him. He looked really annoyed not because he had to stand with Theresa but rather, he became figurative with Li Ling alongside him in that same place!

“As you all know, we live here every day. We gather the nectar from the nearby areas, strengthening the current home of us, increasing our power here.” Theresa said while emphasizing about their daily life.

“But I, as your queen, have to tell you something.”

Pausing, Theresa then looked at Manstien. Of course what she wanted was to let Alice attend the speech besides her.

‘No, rejected.’ Replied Alice as soon as the action took place. Manstein could only relay the matter with his body language, shook his head. Seeing this, Theresa continued dejectedly.

But while the little speech was in motion, Ye Xiaobai then tried to talk to Wu Qing. He felt grateful for her and also there was something that he had to talk personally. This could be traced back when he recovered from his grave situation back then.

‘Hmm, Elder Sister Wu?’ he sent his message via energy transmission.

‘Yes, what’s the matter? Do you want to talk about that?’ asked Wu Qing. She knew that when she tried to treat him in the past, they both had to keep something only between the two.

‘Is the honey here really the one that like the book describe?’ Ye Xiaobai scanned the chamber and found out about it.

‘But we must discuss this with Her Excellency. Even though your brother is her friend but still we must ask for her permission before doing this. Remember, they also know about it.’ Wu Qing replied.

Manstein and Alice both knew about the particular case that Wu Qing talked about. And it also involved Ye Xiaobai that Manstein wanted to lend a hand.

“Only your highest chain in command knew our origin other than me.” Theresa looked at the man that stood beside her all the time.

Ye Yingyuan who looked at the man with the wings protruded from his back and antennae on his forehead was lost in thought.

‘Is there more than what it appeared?’ he thought. But then he sighed before he looked at his side. Besides him, Li Ling also stood near the throne. If not for the fact that Theresa allowed them and even personally led them then they would not do as she said.

-

“Hmm?” when the formation had worked, the performance it gave was there to see. Even without them to appear, the power behind it was still great but Wang Yu noticed that the formation itself was susceptible to a spatial hole.

After all, the part of the formation itself was built and carved in the small space.

“How should I get this done at the fastest speed possible?” there was a need for the formation later. Wang Yu got the instruction from Alice to prepare for the second stage.

“Second stage of offensive in Coiling Dragon Formation, Dragon’s Breath.” Murmured Wang Yu. Then he released a certain amount of energy both to the center of the formation and the pattern that located in one part of the formation.

This made a short but powerful shock to the entire city.

“What is this again?” someone said. They all still afraid of coming out but after the situation returned to normal, they acted as if the event from the past was a dream.

“From what I heard, there is a formation that protected our city.” Another man said.

“But didn’t the mayor also have a formation to protect us? Why make another one?” confused, the opposite person wondered about it and could not help but ask.

They only heard that the formation had protected them from the threat outside. And the proof of that there was some disciple from other sect wandering in the city.

“So do you all treat us as a hostage?” said Luo Mang coldly. He only aspired to become someone that could influence another person like a small leader or even the crazy ones like an emperor. Of course, that was like someone who stared at his own reflection in the water, could only see it.

“I already told you, you are not a hostage. Besides, you walked around freely in the city right?” Han Lang did not care but because of his principles, he had to take care of every single person he had treated.

“What!? After all, that massacre and slaughter outside you still have the guts to say that I’m not a hostage!” Luo Mang tone increased with each word but that was what his heart had told him.

“There are many others that similar to you, they have been saved and now they are also recovering in this city. If not for those people, do you think you can leisurely walk here?” Han Lang replied.

“They should just kill me right from the start, no need to pity me.” Luo Mang said that while chuckled. He lost his position but it did not matter too much.

‘But all my friends in the sect, all of them died! I’m sure that this person knows it.’ Thought Luo Mang.

They walked, no to be exact Luo Mang was the one who walked faster but Han Lang had to hasten his move in order to maintain their distance.

Soon, they returned to the place where Luo Mang had been treated. At that place, there were young man and woman that stood or sat. No matter what they did, the clothes that they wore clearly showed their position in the organization and their pride.

But from that many scenes, there was one which could be described as unique. A large crowd formed a circle and surrounded someone.

“What’s with that commotion?” Luo Mang said in annoyance. He wondered about it himself as he never got to know them either.

“That place is...” Han Lang nearly fell down from his position because he knew that place too well. With a large stride, he arrived at the crowd and forced himself to breakthrough.

“Excuse me, I need to go there.” Han Lang said but the crowd still did not let him through.

‘Ugh, what should I do?’ Han Lang only though for a moment but then a sudden idea flashed in his mind. Then with a loud voice, he said something that he used when he wanted to break this crowd.

“That’s my relative in the front! Yes, that’s my relative!” because of what Han Lang said that the crowd took a glance at him before opening a path for him to walk. Luo Mang just followed him without much resistance either.

‘Such a shameless method.’ Commented Luo Mang inwardly.

“Ah, it’s really you!” Han Lang then truly see the person that he could recognize. But the people only stared at Han Lang strangely as if looking at a strange person.

“Doctor Han!” it was actually Yi Xiaodie. But she then heard the voice from her surroundings.

“Is he really the relative? Pft..”

It was then Han Lang realized what mistake he had made that day. In front of Yi Xiaodie was an injured dog with both of its legs broken!

‘I, I claimed myself to be this dog’s relative!?’ Han Lang felt that his face was slapped hard. Even he said those words loudly and everyone must heard it.

“Wahahaha, never in my mind that you actually are this dog’s relative.” Luo Mang laughed hard and the others almost let it out but restrained themselves.

Even Yi Xiaodie giggled which added her charm. Don’t forget that she was also beautiful when she expressed herself.

Han Lang’s face turned pale before he stomped his feet in frustration and then he took a step closer to Yi Xiaodie.

“Miss Yi, what is happening here?” asked Han Lang. Fortunately, the dog was in injured state and he could use this as a cover. He turned to the dog to see the extent of the injury.

“I don’t know but this dog walked to one of the beds in the treatment room despite its state.” Yi Xiaodie said while pointing to a bed in a room.

“What is it that makes this dog care for this person?” Han Lang walked to the said person. In a bed, there was someone that already recovered but did not wake up.

“This person is the one that I ask special treatment. Quick call someone to send a message to the residence.” Han Lang ordered.

That was when someone came. Because of the order that Wang Yu had given to both Li Dian and Ye Canghai to let Han Lang use their service, there were two servants that stayed with him in times of need.

Then Han Lang ordered them to call for both Ye Canghai and Li Dian.
