“After I was cured, Young Master went to meet you. He would only mention your name when he was with me, knowing that the situation at that time was not favorable.”

Yue explained it in a sorrowful manner. Ye Xiaobai had known about what situation at that time was while shooting the arrows at semi-automatic mode, the rate the arrow came out made the Beeknights looked at him amazed by his performance.

Even Ye Xiaobai could smell the air that filled with blood. He took a look at those Beeknights, silently praising them.

‘Beeknights, they still can’t change into human form yet but they really are a good unit.’ As the person who had at least ventured outside for once, he knew that the knight was far more experienced in defending an area.

“But I don’t know that will be the last time I saw him..”

Even though Yue still held Ye Xiaobai’s hand, she had to heal him as she said that. Ye Xiaobai let out a sad sigh, remembering those scene all over again.

-

“They have to be quick, now the outer hive was mostly occupied by the beats already. We have not much choice other than to temporarily move to the sealed space.”

Feeling the presence all over the hive made Wu Qing felt restless. The overwhelming numbers of the beasts now probably more than enough to sweep through any obstacle.

“Don’t worry, most of them are fast due to the rear keeping the beasts at bay. We just need to gather them all at this place and we are ready to go.”

Even Theresa had her resolution when she said this. If not the fact that the fountain contained such a mystical effects on both her and every beast in the forest, she would not ask Alice to directly removed the fountain from that very place!

“Then what about Manstein? He’s still down there!” said Wu Qing anxiously.

“They will use the wormhole to escape from this place. Ah..” just as Theresa wanted to say another word, the group came from the large door.

“At last we arrive. If not for the fact that the rear still defending then we will surely fall there.” Said Ye Yingyuan while panting. The path from the outer hive to the chamber in the inner hive was rather long and they had to move through dozens of corridors.

“Just rest for a bit. I’ll be waiting for Cousin to return safely. Even if I can feel him but seeing him in person is more reassuring.” Ye Qingcheng stood at the large door while letting the others enter.

“You all, quickly recover yourself with this.” Because of the situation, Theresa let all of them enjoyed the honey the colony had produced.

“Come and eat this otherwise we will not be able to take a defensive stance.” When Ye Yingyuan took a glance at Theresa and saw those glittering ray of light coming from the throne, he knew what to do.

“Hmm, so sweet.” When Li Ling raised her hands and put the yellow honey to her mouth, the sweet taste the honey had along with the energy contained within also let her energy recovered faster.

Ye Yingyuan also grabbed the honey that came to him. It was in liquid form and moved like a bubble to his range thus he was able to catch it.

“It’s true. I can’t believe Big Brother was in this delicious liquid during the awakening process.” Ye Yingyuan had never felt the sweetness of this level and envied his brother for submerged himself in this delicacy.

As for Ye Qingcheng, he only turned around his body for a short time.

“Thank you, Your Highness, for your care and help. I don’t know how I should repay it.” He said while placing his hand on his head. Then he turned around again and kept his posture to be ready at any moment.

“No, you misunderstand something here. In the future, I will accompany you all for a long time so you all should expect this.”

Then there was also the discussion between Wu Qing and Li Ling. Of course, Wu Qing would check her condition first before letting out a sigh of relief.

“Elder Sister, did you also experience it all?” when the topic came to the killing, Li Ling had her doubt in her heart. Even with Ye Yingyuan’s advice she still could not hide her dislike towards such action.

“Everyone will experience it someday no matter who they are.” Wu Qing then slowly placed her hands on the top of her head.

“Yingyuan, are you fine?” but when seeing the expression Ye Yingyuan made previously made Li Ling asked him.

“What is happening with him? Did something go wrong?” Wu Qing also asked Ye Yingyuan. Ye Yingyua turned his head before he replied, “I’m fine. What are you talking about? If you are talking about my feeling when killing those beasts, then maybe I have a problem.”

But contradict to what he had said, Ye Yingyuan showed them a radiant smile on his child's face.

“Elder Sister Wu, Yingyuan definitely has a problem. He told me that he felt indifference when killing those beasts and I also saw him doing it without even blinking! Is this good or bad?” worry started to appear inside Li Ling’s heart.

She only remembered that expression Ye Yingyuan produced only appeared at the time where he ‘taught’ her the lesson at the festival years ago. Remembering all of that clearly made her flustered and embarrassed.

“For the first time and he already accustoms himself to the condition where he did not even blink when killing, this is a good sign but you can also call it a bad one.” Wu Qing let out a sigh.

“Oh, I remember. Why don’t you two meditating together?” suggested Wu Qing.

“Ye Yingyuan had his Nine Yang Body Constitution while Li Ling had Pure Yin Body Constitution. Do you read the note that placed behind the scroll?” asked Wu Qing.

Then Ye Yingyuan remembered the scroll his father had given to him. He opened it and then found out that the part explaining dual cultivation. Of course one of his ability, ‘Ring of Fire’ originally came from the scroll.

“I didn’t read it previously because I trained myself with Ring of Fire technique. The first one to taste the technique was my cousin so that I can judge the strength of the technique.” Said Ye Yingyuan innocently.

“Then what about you, Li Ling?”

“I’m able to learn the first technique due to the training I had for some time in Ye Residence. But I also lost myself when learning the second one.” Li Ling also gave the similar reason as Ye Yingyuan.

“Didn’t you two training together in the training room?” Theresa said with a chuckle.

“Yes, we often took exchange with each other to test our growth in strength and abilities. And I have to admit that Li Ling has more deep techniques than me.” Said Ye Yingyuan with honesty.

“Is that so?” Theresa wanted to tease the young children again but she stooped from doing that. Instead, she frowned before she closed her eyes and her aura radiated around.

“Elder Sister Wu, have you ever seen a person with animal ears and tails?” Li Ling asked due to her curiosity. And she also knew that Wu Qing had far more knowledge than her.

To her surprise, Wu Qing stared blankly at the moment before she returned to her sense. She just did not believe that someone from that kind of race would appear here.

“Come here quick!” all of a sudden, Ye Qingcheng shouted with excitement. In his point of view, two silhouettes followed by a crowd followed behind moved to his direction. Then with anticipation, Ye Qingcheng prepared for another strike.

His large muscular body now bulged more, showing the power behind that muscle. Ye Xiaobai who saw it immediately issued an order.

“Evasive maneuvers!” he shouted loudly to remind those knights behind. Then he also tightened the hand that held Yue because he started to move outside the range of those fist attack.

‘Seriously, Cousin. You wanted to use it again after all!’ only Ye Xiaobai knew that the mastery behind the strike was low, enough for Ye Qngcheng to lose his control. Even the fist that was able to turn the beasts outside the barrier into meat pulp was still unstable.

‘It’s dangerous but the destructive force in it is no joke.’ While Ye Xiaobai was still flying to the door, he did not take notice of Yue’s expression. She held her intense anger in her.

‘Why did you grab my hands so tightly!? It’s hurt, hateful!’ but at the same time, she also noticed the slightly strange situation and her ears twitched strongly.

‘This is the pressure from that large man. He is the one that gives me the very essence of natural fear, I don’t know why though.’ All of the beasts that sensitive to the aura would feel its terrifying oppressive aura.

But for Ye Yingyuan and the others, they had it easier because Ye Qingcheng was on their side after all.

The Beeknight behind then also feel its aura and suddenly obeyed the order given, started to move away from the straight route, giving a clear view of the beasts chasing them from their back.

“Go, Charging Punch!” doing the same previous movement by retracting the arm behind, took the stance and then gave a straight punch, Ye Qingcheng let out his charging energy from his arm to his punch.

‘But this is too slow, I’ll not use it in close combat though!’ thought Ye Qingcheng with a bitter smile.

A deafening sound came from the air as soon as the punch was executed. Even the air was moved following the movement of the force behind those punch that came straight to the beasts, giving them no chance to evade.

“It’s the source of all that strength. Strength, we need it.” There were some intellectual beasts among the crowd that instantly sense their desire reached the peak. They glanced at the large door leading to the chamber and saw that there was a man at the front of the door.

“Where is that Nightstalker King? I have not seen him since we move to the hive. Why did he suddenly vanish without us knowing?” even though Nightstalker King was sending his minions but the leader himself now did not even present.

“Don’t care about him. It’s better to gang on that boy!” said the centipede with a little face on its front head. The opposite talker was a serpent that let out its tongue every few seconds.

“But just look at that force behind the punch, how should we deal with that? Now with the addition of the hive we invaded, we clearly offended The Queen already. I’m sure they just hold their ground here but I really don’t know what their next plan is.” Said the monkey.

They did not really know what will happen next. The temptation in front of them clearly alluring but they had no idea if all of this was just a trap to deal with all of them altogether or just the last defense line the opponent created.

“Hey, do you remember what Nightstalker King carried us two years ago? Just where did he get those black water from?”

Sadly, their intelligence was only at the level of basic communication but not to think too far from their instinct. If this was watched by either Wang Yu or Alice they would surely laugh at their simple mind.

“As long as we got stronger then whatever he gives is good!” the centipede just continued to move closer and silently without letting the others know his position.

But the monkey looked around before he went back a step. Its eyes showed the cunningness only found in the more intellect beings.

‘Surely they did not know where the Nightstalker King is. There must be something big but I don’t know where is it either. Might as well get out from this muddy water, I get a tingling sensation from my head.’ The monkey thought before scratching its head and walked back.

“What are you doing!? Are you just retreat if something uncertain appears?” grumbled the centipede.

“Think about the situation before striking, maybe that will help you. See you!” as if it did not have any sense of hearing and shame, the monkey already ran far away from their sight.

And for the rest of them, they hesitated to strike while the chance to obtain the strength they desire was right in front of them.
