29: Royal jelly

No wonder people say that murder and arson lead to golden belts; he had only attacked these few insignificant Cultivators, yet the wealth he gained was more than what a Yao Beast could accumulate in several years, and he was starting to fall in love with this feeling.

No, no, he immediately shook his head; firstly, excessive slaughter would definitely affect his Heart-Nature, and while he was decisive in killing, he would not kill indiscriminately; secondly, one who walks by the river often gets their shoes wet—if you kill too many people, you might run into some Child of Destiny or someone you cannot afford to provoke, which would lead to total disaster; cultivation must be done one step at a time, and any attempt to take shortcuts is inadvisable.

Finally, he arrived at the Bee Raising Forest; these bees had already been refined, and although they were Yao Beasts, they possessed no intelligence, spending their entire lives under the control of the Beast Taming Sect, working tirelessly to contribute resources to them; this was the current situation for most monsters not in Cloud Sea Marsh, where, in the prosperous age of the Human Race, it was truly difficult to survive.

Although he sympathized with these bees in his heart, the Bee King was still on his little list, and it had to die; however, he scanned the area twice with his Divine Sense but could not find any trace of the Bee King, making him even more cautious.

In his Simulation, he had perished together with the Bee King, so the opponent must be here; was he not careful enough in his search, or did the Bee King have other hidden means? He did not advance rashly; although the Bee King was only a Mid Qi Refining Stage Yao Beast, it was still best to be cautious.

He controlled several streams of water to submerge the beehives, and many bees died in the water; it would be unreasonable if the Bee King remained motionless while he slaughtered its subjects.

Sure enough, a black needle struck towards Gu Yuchuan at an extremely fast speed, even creating a sonic boom; in an instant, the needle was right in front of Gu Yuchuan, but fortunately, he had already activated his Green Scale Shield, and the black needle struck the shield with no further effect, exposing the Bee King's location.

The Bee King was a rather large bee, with alternating golden-yellow and black colors, looking furry and in a way that humans would like, but its eyes held malice.

"Serpent Yao, you and I are both of the Yao Race, why must you kill my children?"

Gu Yuchuan almost wanted to applaud it; the Bee King's acting was quite good, and in his past life, winning a Golden Rooster or Hundred Flowers Award would not have been impossible.

"You vile beast, since you have already defected to the Human Race, you are an enemy of our Yao Race and no longer deserve to be part of it; why do I kill them? Have you not prepared yourself to be killed by me?"

In fact, regarding Yao Beasts tamed by the Human Race, the Deity Transformation Venerable of Cloud Sea Marsh had long ago issued a decree stating that once a Yao Race member formed a contract with the Human Race, they automatically lost their Yao Race status and could be killed by any member of the Yao Race; however, Gu Yuchuan had not been in this Transmigration for long, so he was not very clear about these basic matters.

Seeing that Gu Yuchuan was immovable by soft or hard tactics, the Bee King opened its mouth, and a cloud of yellow smoke enveloped Gu Yuchuan; however, Gu Yuchuan remained motionless, and on a whim, he felt that he could control this cloud of smoke; he blew a breath, and the smoke returned to envelop the Bee King—yes, Soaring on Clouds and Riding the Mist, Soaring on Clouds and Riding the Mist; why was this smoke not a type of cloud and mist?

This smoke was actually the Poison Mist that the Bee King had refined for many years; wherever it went, vitality dissipated, and the trees and flowers on the ground began to fade; however, this time it had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, as the poison eventually eroded its own body, causing its vitality to slowly drain away.

The Bee King shrieked loudly, and the venomous needle behind it struck out again; however, the needle had been useless when it launched a sneak attack, so naturally, it was of no use when launched face-to-face, and the needle was blocked by the shield; the Bee King did not say another word.

Indeed, the Yao Race and the Human Race are just different; when the Yao Race is forced into a desperate situation, they think of resisting, of whether they can make the enemy suffer a bit before they die, whereas the Human Race usually thinks of how to survive; it is hard to say which mindset is better, but there is indeed a great difference in the nature between these races.

However, the Bee King did not leave a single injury on Gu Yuchuan and died the next second under his Water Sword; from this point on, there were no living things left in the entire Bee Raising Forest except for Gu Yuchuan; he took out the jade bottle given by Great King Hui She and collected all the royal jelly; during the process, he tasted a few mouthfuls, and the taste was indeed very good, and it was also helpful to his own cultivation, so he also packed ten jin for himself, as there was no reason he should do the work and not get the benefits; although the royal jelly was not of much use to him, he now had a large household to support, with Bai Ming and the Koi as subordinates, so he had to consider them.

After all, they had just started following him and their cultivation was still low; if he wanted to win them over, he could not rely solely on a tough attitude, as benefits were also necessary to make them follow him wholeheartedly.

He swept through the entire Bee Raising Forest once more, and after confirming that there was nothing left behind, he prepared to leave; after all, this was the territory of the Human Race, which was very dangerous, and the matter of the Bee Raising Forest could not be concealed for long; if he were discovered by the Human Race, he would be doomed.

【Congratulations on achieving the accomplishment: First time destroying a Human Race stronghold, reward: two Simulation attempts.】

Soon, he arrived at the place where he had met Bai Ming; Bai Ming was very happy to see him, her tail wagging continuously; in fact, over these past few days, Bai Ming had been very anxious, and although Gu Yuchuan had promised her, waiting was always the most difficult thing, especially waiting for someone else's promise.

For example, when a child is young and has been begging for a toy for half a month, and one night the mother finally promises to buy it the next morning, that night is the most difficult time for the child; they are happy about the toy they are about to get, wanting time to pass quickly, but also afraid that the mother will go back on her word the next day; various emotions are intertwined, making it very difficult to endure.

This was exactly how Bai Ming felt, and when she saw Gu Yuchuan, tears were about to fall from her eyes.

"We will rest here for one day, and tomorrow, I will take you back to Cloud Sea Marsh."

Gu Yuchuan always felt that something was wrong, so he planned to perform a Simulation here; he knew that this incident could easily lead to war between the Human Race and the Yao Race if not handled properly, and being at the center of the storm, he would inevitably be in danger; by performing a Simulation now, he could avoid the risks this time; he keenly felt that this time, the Yao Race's reaction was not quite right, as if they would never submit to the Human Race again.
