Theresa then said again, “At the least, I absorb your energy. Oh, maybe because there are some of you that have rare energy type that I feel satisfied today.”

But for Ye Yingyuan, he had the feeling that if they were really doing all of this without Alice, sure, the entire swarm would outnumber them!

“This boy here, who is he? Why I feel something familiar from his blood?” when the queen saw the face of Ye Yingyuan, she curious about his origin as well as his body constitution.

‘Having the Nine Yang Body Constitution as well as the strange blood force in his body which I can recognize. Just who is he?’ pondered Theresa.

She had lived for more than half a millennium in this world. One day a woman came to her hive with some expert from this world. But to Theresa’s surprise, the woman also being rejected by the world’s law.

Even though they were being rejected but that did not mean they can’t cultivate. It just that to actualize that, they need more time, resources, workload and other things like a fortuitous encounter.

Since then, the queen developed her colony in this exact forest as long as she still remembered.

“Wait, what does Your Majesty mean?” suddenly the man spoke up. He did not understand why his own queen treated them like a guest rather than an invader.

“What I mean is, we will have to lead them to that item in our hive.” Theresa paused before she said formally once again, “Oh, and don’t you know that the woman there..” while pointing to the direction where Alice placed herself.

“..is our important guest. If you still don’t believe the words of your own queen, then whose words can you trust?”

Then the man had a hesitant look before he nodded his head. Then he moved in a certain pattern before the swarm started to fly one by one.

“It’s over. It’s finally over!” Manstein who had the poker face most of the time finally poured down all of his cold sweats. If not for the fact that Alice had said that she had known the ruler of the yellow bees, then he would not do the thing that he did.

‘Strange, right? Killing their scouts just to enter their hive?’ but only in the future that he realized there was a meaning to this.

Then all of the people finally loosened up their body after a tense meeting with the swarm. Yes, that was the thing they tensed about because they were surrounded by countless yellow bees without a way out.

“From all of us that stood here, maybe only Little Yuan has the fortitude to face-off against someone that gives us terrifying pressure.” Commented Ye Qingcheng. It was not exaggerated because that was the truth.

Even though that they could realize immediately that the queen only had the cultivation of Foundation Establishment late stage but all of her descendants was the same as her on average!

“I’m sorry..” from the perspective of other people, Ye Yingyuan’s legs trembled really hard. His breathing now turned into panting as he gasped for air in his breath and then he kneeled down, unable to stand for the time being.

Then Ye Yingyuan felt that his hand grasped something that really slender and tiny. He turned to take a look but he never expected that his hand would hold Li Ling’s hand so tightly.

And their position currently was similar, they could not stand due to the tremendous pressure they had experienced.

“..I’m weak!” that was the words he wanted to say the most after seeing the queen. Even if their stage was different but the pressure from her aura and movement were all entirely at another realm!

“Me too. I want to get stronger too.” The feeling of powerless made someone pursued strength. This also included Li Ling who had kneeled down.

“But why did Elder Brother did not affected by the queen’s aura?” Ye Yingyuan had a question in his heart. No matter what, the queen was able to unleash such aura that only someone with a lot of killing could make.

In this world, the intent could be raised through many methods and circumstances. And aura was a result from training intent. But in fact, training the intent was not even easy especially when someone was still so young and inexperienced.

“The energies that resided within the corpses of those bees...” finally Ye Xiaobai noticed an important factor.

“Whoa!” Manstein had seen something out of his imagination. The string that formed from the abundant energy leaked out from those corpses. The direction of those strings was toward Theresa.

She became the picture of the leader which her colony revered. The string then became one with Theresa and made her radiated a light that was so bright the people around her narrowed their eyes. As Theresa absorbed those energies, her face turned pale before returned to normal.

“If you really capable of removing that item from our place then as the queen of the yellow bees here, I will let you taste our honey.” Said Theresa.

“Now that’s a better offer. With the current condition outside, I’m sure that many people coveted for your honey.” Alice said with a flat tone.

‘By the way, what item that made even the queen to resigned herself?’ Manstein then saw that Theresa ordered something to her colony. Even though Manstein had his brain worked but he still could not understand the language the bees used.

“Please come to our hive. I invited you all.” Theresa then turned to Alice who once again returned to the place inside the medallion.

When she saw that, her eyes then focused once again on Manstein but she shook her head slowly before dispelled this from her mind. Instead, she had other things to look forward and the example was.

“You two, go together with me!” said Theresa while lifted both Ye Yingyuan and Li Ling. She lifted them like lifting a finger, so easy. Fortunately, Ye Yingyuan knew that there was no hostile relationship between them currently and he just let the force dragged him.

“Thank you for your mercy.” Said Wu Qing. She clearly knew something was off because the queen just forgave them so easily.

‘It must be because of Her Excellency.’ She thought while signaling to the group to do the same. Then all of them also gave their thanks.

After that, they journeyed right above the canopy of the surrounding woods. This was the height that still relatively safe and the factor of sticking together as a large colony.

“This is something that I never imagined before.” Said Ye Xiaobai. Even though he already could fly but compared to the experience when he rode one of the yellow bees made him unable to get tired of it.

“Right, their body is tough enough for both of us and themselves to fly. This is something that I need to investigate further.” Said Manstein with shining looks from his eyes.

‘It was said that the yellow bees, only this yellow bees species, did not originate from this world. Yes, that was the obvious things when Alice said that. But as time went on, they started to produce a honey with condensed qi in it.’

Manstein could not turn his head from those yellow bees, admiring the living beings that appeared in front of him. Because of the information that was recorded inside Intelligence Assitance Device, he became slightly numb to the surprise the world had to offer.

They flew far from where they originally were but they still knew that they went in the right direction. In the most center of the flying yellow bees, Theresa brought both Ye Yingyuan and Li Ling to her side.

“Ah, well. How should I begin this?” Theresa still in her human form but she flew with her own energy and the two children were in her right and left side.

“You must know about her, I mean Goddess of Artifact. As to why the human named her after that, I think you know the reason.” Said Theresa.

“Replying to Her Highness, I also saw in the records that her new refinement method, as well as the item Elder Sister, had made was in top quality. The first time I read about it in my families’ record, I don;t believe that my family was related to her.”

Ye Yingyuan had to answer Theresa and he had done it with politeness. This was also his way of appreciating her mercy.

“Good. I realized that she also looking for a way to break through the Universe Gate but failed, what happened that year, huh?” Theresa only said the second sentence in a low voice.

“If I say that you two do not only have great potential but also like a pair, will you believe me?” asked Theresa who smiled sweetly.

“What does that mean? Maybe Her Highness can recognize my body constitution but is it also included Li Ling?” since he saw the move that Li Ling used, he had been worried to the core.

“Yes. And I feel that with your type of energy and natural talent, going to my hive is a good fortune.” It was a long time for Theresa to reach the position and power she currently had. The restriction could only limit her potential but not fully restrict her in this world.

“Also, you trained with the scripture from that person. I can feel it from the energy that circulated around your body.” Theresa looked at Ye Yingyuan before said that.

“As for this girl, she really trained hard increasing her proficiency with the saber. While you trained in the sword. Your intent was not enough but I can feel it from your movement and gaze.”

Then Theresa brought them closer so that she could closely. At another place, Manstein regained the feeling when he grabbed the bow. The training that he had done in the previous world made him able to wield the bow.

“I never know that Senior really good at archery.” Manstein could hear the voice that belonged to Alice in his mind.

“Don’t mind it too much. I’m not even able to enter the lowest stage of cultivation just as you thought.” Manstein gave his piece of mind. Even the queen of the yellow bees, Theresa, only reached Culture Core stage during her long stay in this world.

“Of course it’s expected. But I think there is something more to the restriction. And why did you still hide it? Do you not want to share it?” from that question, Manstein had still underestimated Alice’s ability to see through him.

‘She had known about it too...’ Manstein felt a heavy burden when he wanted to say this. But he had to say it sooner or later.

“You maybe know about Tribulation and Retribution Seal but what does it actually do?” he hated to tell Alice about this. He had no intention to tell it but from the situation, he was forced to do it. But at the same time, his burden decreased a lot.

Hearing this made Alice had a warm feeling rose in her inner self.

“That seal is actually used against someone who potentially become a threat to the world. I think that this seal is really annoying as it made the bearer have to choose their fate.” Alice said indifferently.

“As expected. So the choice is to sow good or bad karma isn’t it?” Manstein chuckled. While he sat on the yellow bees, he did not forget to record everything about the yellow bees inside the device for experiment purpose.

They talked to each other and sometimes to Theresa as well. At first, they were afraid of her but after that, they could come up with a good topic to talk.

But it was not for long because they arrived at the hive. Located above the branches that spread its leaves to anywhere.

“Her Majesty is coming!” the man who always stayed near Theresa shouted loudly with his energy, sending his message to the entire hive. Then they saw the bees make a neat line like a narrow channel.

“So strict. The line formed flawlessly.” Commented Li Ling when she saw the scene.
