Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

Chapter 185 Bai Zhaoli's Confession

You are the queen bee I've chosen!

Upon hearing this explanation, Jiang Lang's head buzzed.

But soon, an indescribable anger exploded in his heart.

"Am I the queen bee you've chosen?"

A cold smile played on his lips: "And what about Manzhi? Who is she?"

Yu Xuanming's voice was devoid of any emotion: "Didn't you hear what I said just now? Nutrients!"

"Your mom—"

"If it weren't for me, she would be dead. This was all a deal between us. She gained many more years of life and even met her true love. Do you think she should hate me or be grateful to me?"

Jiang Lang felt a kind of irritating sensation, as if his throat was stuffed with paste.

He had heard Gu Manzhi say that before they met the queen bee, the uncle and nephew were already at their wits' end.

From this perspective, Gu Manzhi should indeed thank the queen bee.

Yu Xuanming continued calmly, "Just yesterday, I clearly told her that she would become the nourishment for your coronation as queen bee. Guess what her reaction was?"

She first let out a long sigh of relief, and then thanked me!

In her heart, sacrificing herself for you is the most perfect ending.

Jiang Lang's eye twitched repeatedly: "What makes you think I'll obey your arrangements?"

Yu Xuanming said calmly, "Why don't you obey my arrangements? You should be very clear about the situation of your human race. You need strength, but you also need allies."

Once you are crowned Queen Bee, all five five-star generals, nine four-star generals, and 136 generals-level experts infiltrated from various races under the Hive will become your most loyal subordinates. Why would you refuse?

Moreover, Manzhi loves you very much, and her sacrifice will perfectly dedicate her soul to you.

Your reproductive potential is several times higher than mine, which means you can produce several times more worker bees.

Don't you think this prospect is very bright?

"Ruling all races is only a matter of time for you."

;

Jiang Lang admitted that he was tempted, but he also knew very well that once he became the queen bee, his will would become one with the hive.

He had experienced that feeling before. The urge to make a pilgrimage when the drone's imprint went out of control still sends chills down his spine whenever he thinks about it now.

Hive's strength, and even its future prospects, are incredibly attractive.

He also believes that with the help of such a beehive, he is very likely to reach the other side.

But that's the other side.

It is the opposite shore of the human race.

Or is it on the other side of the hive?

The two sides were too far apart in strength and status in the early stages, so such an alliance was bound to be unbalanced.

Jiang Lang's gaze was somewhat gloomy: "So? Why me?"

Yu Xuanming smiled faintly: "It's very simple! My vision led me to decide to bet on the human race, and you happen to have the highest quality human soul, which is very important for the new generation of the Hive."

"Bet on the human race? Why bet on the human race?"

"You'll understand when you become the queen bee!"

"What if I disagree?"

"If you disagree, I certainly won't force you."

Yu Xuanming said with some regret: "Three days later, the hive's nuptial flight ceremony will be officially held. Wang Mo is in the Federation, and Manzhi is in Yunjin. When one prospective queen breaks through the queen cell, the other prospective queen will die immediately."

You should have already seen Wang Mo's personality. After she becomes the queen bee, she will inherit the will of the hive.

But the will of the hive does not represent my will.

The stakes I've placed on humanity may very well be the first thing she'll discard after her coronation.

And Manzhi—

They would die in utterly meaningless circumstances.

At least in her understanding, such a death was meaningless.

Jiang Lang: "???"

Yu Xuanming smiled gently: "You don't need to rush to give an answer. You have three days. I will tell you the location of the wedding flight then."

Jiang Lang still didn't reply; all he could hear was his own heavy breathing.

Yu Xuanming seemed to remember something: "By the way, you don't need to fantasize about killing me. You are very strong now, strong enough to surprise me, but you are still far from being able to kill me, even with the two experts hiding in the shadows."

The "King-level" title is a vague concept for you.

But in reality, it has a strict internal hierarchy.

Among those at the King level, I belong to the very strong tier.

However, if you agree to be crowned, you will soon be in my position, or even further.

So—think it over carefully.

next moment.

The restless drone imprints subsided.

Jiang Lang finally succumbed to the backlash from his violent killing spree, and his vision went black as he fainted.

"Ah Lang!"

Bai Zhaoli couldn't help but rush over and quickly checked Jiang Lang's vital signs.

Aside from the physical tearing from overload, slight mental exhaustion, and burns, there were no major problems, which brought a slight sense of relief.

Bai Heng quickly followed, his brows furrowed: "What happened?"

He's strange.

The intensity of the battle just now, and the overwhelming pressure Jiang Lang displayed, far exceeded his expectations.

This kid's skills and fighting awareness are even stronger than I realized.

However, the result was within his expectations.

Logically speaking, Jiang Lang should remain unconscious to attract the queen bee.

However, Jiang Lang had only been unconscious for a short while when he suddenly sat up and remained sitting there for a long time.

The queen bee has yet to appear.

Jiang Lang sat there for a while, then fainted again.

What's going on here?

Liu Xiu was also somewhat surprised and uncertain, but could only shake his head: "I don't know! Let's take him back to treat his injuries first!"

"Okay! Treat the injuries first!"

Bai Zhaoli picked up Jiang Lang and quickly walked towards the car.

night.

The medical equipment kept beeping.

"Squeak!"

The attending physician pushed open the door and took off his mask.

Liu Xiu stepped forward: "How is it?"

The attending physician's expression was somewhat grave: "Dean! The patient has an extremely strong will to live, and his life is not in danger, but his injuries are indeed too severe. If he continues to risk his life like this in the future, it's questionable whether he can even live to be forty."

Liu Xiu said somewhat helplessly, "I'll find an opportunity to give him some nourishment."

The attending physician could only nod: "Supplementation is only one aspect; in short—we should be more cautious in the future."

"Any other questions?"

"Yes! But it's not a big problem. There's an out-of-control external force in his mental realm, but it's been at a disadvantage. The patient should be able to clear it out on his own."

"Um!"

Liu Xiu patted him on the back: "You've worked hard! Your bonus will be doubled this month."

The attending physician nodded and left the ward.

Liu Xiu looked at Bai Zhaoli: "Are you going to stay with her tonight? If not, I'll send a few more nurses."

"No!"

Bai Zhaoli quickly stood up: "I'm fine here."

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Then I'll have to work hard. But since you're not an employee of Xinghuo, there's no bonus for you!"

Bai Zhaoli: "————"

Liu Xiu stretched, waved to her, and left.

Bai Zhaoli bit her lip, gently pushed open the ward door, and tiptoed to the bedside.

Looking at Jiang Lang's newly scabbed wounds, she was filled with mixed emotions.

She still remembers the shock she felt when she approached the sandcastle during the day.

The terror was even greater than when I went to Shangjiang Island.

Even from a great distance, she couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Even the aftershocks of the battle made her feel like a small boat in a raging storm, which could be capsized and plunged into the deep sea at any moment.

And Jiang Lang—

But it was right in the middle of the battle!

Fortunately, she was talented enough to judge from subtle changes that Jiang Lang had the upper hand.

Otherwise, she wouldn't even dare to imagine what she was feeling while watching the game.

But she also knew that such battles were likely to become the norm for Jiang Lang in the future.

Although his opponent today was formidable, he was still within his limits and could not escape the result of serious injury and unconsciousness.

In the future—but there is a high probability that they will face King-level powerhouses directly!

Can he survive every time?

Even if he always manages to have the last laugh, will his end be like the doctor's description—not even living to be forty thousand years old?

Bai Zhaoli lay by the bedside, looking at Jiang Lang's face, her heart churning with emotion.

She suddenly realized that many of the things she used to pursue were now considered luxuries in this era.

But this feeling of wanting but not being able to have it made her struggle even more.

The indicator lights on the instrument kept flashing, shining on Jiang Lang's face like the aurora borealis that night.

Her slightly weak breathing disturbed the airflow, brushing across Bai Zhaoli's face as if scratching at her heart.

She let out a soft breath, as if confiding in someone or talking to herself: "Ah Lang, you're so annoying!"

"I've already decided that I only need to be your partner for the rest of my life, but you keep reminding me how painful it would be to lose you."

"I've really thought about it seriously. If you can't take that step, I might as well take it myself, even if half of your heart doesn't belong to me."

"But you have a lot of past!"

"Besides Su Su and Gu Manzhi, how much of your heart is left for me?"

"Actually, it's okay if you don't keep it."

"But we are destined to get married, and I am really unwilling to be just a wife."

"You, you————"

"ah!?"

Bai Zhaoli suddenly exclaimed softly, "You, you're awake?"

She was shocked to find that Jiang Lang had opened his eyes at some point and was staring intently at her.

The scene fell silent for a moment.
