Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Having survived a life-or-death ordeal, she has become much more insightful.

It's a fact that the other party saved me, and the strength they displayed was terrifying.

And she frankly stated her requirements, which actually put Miya at ease.

Because of the life-saving grace, Miya felt that even if the other party asked for something in return, she wouldn't be unable to accept it.

As a highly social species, the Abe Bees have a higher status in their tribe than the Great Chief of the Demon Bear Tribe, Devouring Sun!

Sometimes Shi Ri might need to consult with his tribesmen for good opinions and ideas, but Mi Ya Er can truly make decisions with a single word within the tribe.

If Liu Nian can persuade Miya'er, it will be equivalent to persuading the entire Abe Bee tribe!

So Liu Nian put forward the conditions and requirements he could offer.

As Miya listened to Liu Nian's words, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Floating cities? Mobile nests? Safe homes? Shared resources...jointly defending against external enemies...

Every word struck Miya's heart like a hammer blow after she had just experienced a desperate situation!

Their desperate search for a new nest has yielded no results; the fear of being attacked today; the despair of possibly being targeted by the Gorgon King; and the impending Ascension War...

This made her crave a strong and safe haven more than ever!

The mysterious and powerful human in front of her not only saved her life and wiped out the attacking enemies, but also provided such a near-perfect solution!

After transforming into a queen bee, she was unable to leave the hive city. However, a floating city that allows her to fly and leap would perfectly solve her predicament!

Miya's heart began to pound wildly.

The joy of escaping a desperate situation, coupled with the anticipation of the future, brought a blush of excitement to her pale cheeks.

"Liu Nian, what you said... is it true? That floating city can really... become our new home?" Her voice trembled again with excitement.

Compared to the cost of becoming a vassal race, the benefits are far greater!

Moreover, the Abe Bees are different from other races. They have a low desire to fight and little interest in exploring the outside world. The members of the entire group are used to obeying all of Mia's commands and prefer to act in groups. Individual thoughts are not important in the entire group!

Previously, all decisions were made by Mia, which put enormous pressure on her. To be honest, she didn't consider herself a good candidate for queen bee, but there was nothing she could do; fate had arranged for her to play this role.

If they choose to become vassals, for the Abe bees, it's simply a matter of changing who gives orders.

To put it bluntly, this is a species that is naturally suited to be a vassal race!

Think about it, even the queen bee cannot leave her hive to move freely, which shows how different their lifestyle is from other species.

Mia felt that she couldn't win the Ascension War under her leadership, and now there was the threat of the Gorgon Insect King. The entire tribe couldn't protect her. What could she do but seek protection from a stronger being?

"Seeing is believing. I can take you to see it." Liu Nian nodded, "But before that, you need to contact your subordinates; they're probably in complete disarray right now."

Upon hearing the mention of the tribe, Mia immediately snapped out of her excitement, a deep worry appearing on her face. "Yes, Vayne and the others must be frantic with worry!"

As night deepened, a group of distraught Abe bees, shrouded in immense grief and self-reproach, wandered aimlessly through the Misty Valley in search of their queen.

The Queen has been lost by them.

For the Abe Bees, a tightly structured tribe with the queen bee as its absolute core and spiritual symbol, this was not simply a matter of losing a leader.

The sky has fallen.

Commander Freya of the Royal Guard knelt on one knee beside a rock, her crimson bee wings hanging limply behind her, and her poisoned longsword, which she never parted with, was carelessly discarded at her feet.

This woman, known for her bravery and fortitude as the tribe's second-strongest fighter and the frontline commander, now had her head bowed, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, and dripped yellowish blood mixed with mud, yet she remained oblivious.

"It's my fault... I was incompetent... I couldn't stop them..." she repeated over and over, her voice hoarse.

She failed to detect the infiltrators, failed to see through their methods, and failed to protect the Queen… If she had been stronger and smarter, perhaps the Queen wouldn't have… Unfortunately, she was too weak! She was completely outmaneuvered by the enemy…

Beside her, Vayne, the Shadow Rank Commander with silver-gray wings, leaned against another cold stone, her eyes now filled with numbness and self-loathing.

She witnessed the entire abduction of His Majesty… but what good did it do? She couldn't stop it, and she was too late to even track him down. The "eyes" of her tribe went blind in the face of true crisis.

"Sister Miya... Waaah..." Vaness buried her face in her palms, her shoulders trembling violently.

The other bees were completely bewildered.

Without the queen bee's warm, steadfast, and ever-present guidance, they didn't know where to go or how to spend every minute and second that followed.

Gathering, brewing, raising young, defending... all the daily tasks lost their meaning.

The future is bleak.

Without the queen's command, even their "sorrow" and "revenge" seemed so aimless and disordered.

All beekeepers are enduring this heart-wrenching torment.

Just as this despair and chaos were pushing them to the brink of collapse—

A familiar voice suddenly rang out in the channel:

"Assemble around me."

At that moment, all the bees fell silent.

Time seemed to stand still.

"A...Queen?"

"It's the Queen's voice!!"

"Sister Miya?!" Vayne sprang up as if electrocuted, her silver-gray wings suddenly unfurling, but she froze in mid-air due to extreme shock and disbelief.

"The Queen! It's the Queen!!"

"The Queen is back!!!"

After a brief silence, there came a burst of wild, exhilarating cheers, like a landslide or a tsunami!

All the bees, regardless of rank or function, felt their hearts, frozen by despair, begin to beat wildly again and their cold blood surge back the moment they heard Honeybee's voice!

Soon, the bee-men in the mist began to rush towards the coordinates given by Mia!

When everyone arrived in front of Mia, almost without exception, they all knelt on one knee and bowed their heads deeply!

This is not an audience with the emperor; this is a plea for forgiveness.

"Your Majesty! We failed in our duty to protect you, putting you in danger! Please punish us!" Freya's voice was choked with sobs as her forehead slammed heavily against the cold ground.

"Please punish us, Queen!" more than two hundred bee-men shouted in unison, their voices choked with emotion, filled with endless self-blame and guilt.
