However, for the young bees to grow to adulthood, it would take too long and could not meet Zhou Chun’s short-term needs.

Therefore, after he contracted the young bees, he set his sights on the Bee King.

The Bee King is the brain and ruler of the swarm; by subduing it, the entire swarm would be at Zhou Chun’s disposal.

But as a mature Skyfrost Cold Bee, a third-tier Demon Insect, subduing it was not an easy feat.

Zhou Chun could only do his best to try.

He placed the Bee King on the ground and with a wave of his hand, he removed all the Restriction Talismans stuck to it.

With the talismans removed, the previously inanimate Bee King immediately vibrated its wings and transformed into a white shadow that pounced towards the hive.

Clearly, in its mind, the hive was always the safest place.

Zhou Chun did not stop it, allowing it to land on the hive.

Once back in the hive, the Bee King began to absorb the cold Qi of the area, seemingly to recover its strength first.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun promptly took out a large chunk of Demon Beast meat, chopped it up, and threw the pieces onto the hive.

The Bee King was not shy and, after scenting the fragrance of the food, quickly flew out to feed.

After eating a few bites itself, it even started to take on the worker bees’ tasks, chopping up the food and feeding it to the young bees.

Zhou Chun knew that all this was actually directed by the Bee King’s instincts.

Normally, the worker bees and the male bees are responsible for safeguarding the swarm’s safety, and all the Bee King needs to do is stay in the nest and reproduce.

But now, with the worker and male bees gone, the Bee King had to tend to the young, find food, and even take on the responsibility of protecting the young bees and the hive.

For the Bee King, when there is no threat to its life, its priority is to feed the young bees well and let them grow as quickly as possible into worker bees that can hunt and guard for it.

And it was this that Zhou Chun intended to use to increase his chances of success in subduing the Bee King.

He first offered the Bee King food and gave it time to recuperate its Essence Energy.

Once the Bee King had condensed some “Skyfrost Cold Qi” within its body, he made threatening moves towards the hive to force the Bee King into a fight.

The outcome of the battle was a given; the Bee King, having recovered less than half of its strength, was easily defeated by Zhou Chun.

After defeating the Bee King, Zhou Chun attempted to form a contract with it.

The result was, of course, a failure.

As “punishment,” Zhou Chun took two of the young bees from the hive and arranged for them to be raised separately in another place.

Some days later, once the Bee King had regained some strength, Zhou Chun stimulated it to battle again, and once again he emerged victorious.

Then he repeated his previous actions; first, he attempted to contract with the Bee King, and if the contract failed, he would take away two more young bees.

This back-and-forth struggle, repeatedly defeating the Bee King and taking away the young bees, caused the Bee King to develop a strong sense of fear towards him.

Eventually, even the mere scent of him would make it nervously hide deep inside the hive.

The emergence of this behavior greatly encouraged Zhou Chun, who knew that his plan was close to success.

So, he changed the rules slightly and waited for over two months, waiting until the Bee King had almost fully stored up “Skyfrost Cold Qi” in its body, before once again provoking it into battle.

This battle, due to the Bee King’s considerable strength, successfully triggered the automatic protector of the “Moon Toad Pearl.”

The Bee King not only had all the painstakingly condensed cold Qi in its body sucked out by the Treasure Bead but was also knocked unconscious by the bizarre bellows and croaks emitting from it.

When it awoke, Zhou Chun promptly contracted with it again, and this time, he succeeded in one fell swoop, subduing it as his Spirit Pet.

With the Bee King subdued, the rest was easy.

Zhou Chun held the Bee King in his hand, using it to command the bees, and swiftly contracted with all the other Demon Bees as well.

Under the command of the Bee King, even the three male bees in the swarm that had also reached maturity could not resist Zhou Chun’s contract.

“`

And through comparing the Demon Bees in the maturity, adulthood, and growth stages of the bee swarm, Zhou Chun quickly confirmed something.

Those Demon Bees with only sixteen blue stripes on their bodies were actually Demon Bees with degenerated bloodlines.

As long as a Demon Bee could step into the maturity phase, it would purify its bloodline and transform into a true Skyfrost Cold Bee.

What made Zhou Chun happy was that, after communicating with the Bee King, the Bee King clearly expressed that the current environment was more comfortable and preferable to it and the swarm than before, and the cold Qi emitted from the Cold Spring was also of great help in condensing their “Skyfrost Cold Qi”.

This favorable environment could likely improve the situation of the bee swarm’s bloodline degeneration, or even stop it completely.

Therefore, Zhou Chun decided to leave the bee swarm in the ice cave and let them go out to forage on their own.

With the strength of the bee swarm, even if they encountered a third-order Demon Beast, they had a very high chance of victory.

Therefore, Zhou Chun was not worried about their safety.

When he needed to use the bee swarm in the future, he would just come back and take them away.

This way, not only did he not hinder the growth of the bee swarm, but he also gained an extra ace up his sleeve that others were unaware of.

And not long after Zhou Chun had subdued the bee swarm, the Zhou Family received news of Lu Ran’s death.

“These two Magic Artifacts were entrusted by the High Priest to Wukulu before his last breath, to be passed on to Taoist Friend Zhou. He said Taoist Friend Zhou is a trustworthy person, and he hoped that Taoist Friend Zhou could bury his body in the land where he was born!”

Within the Black Spear Tribe’s settlement of the Scale Frog Alien Clan, when Zhou Chun, representing the Zhou Family, came to mourn the deceased Lu Ran, the Tribe’s Great Elder Wukulu brought out two items left by Lu Ran to give to him.

Zhou Chun was very familiar with these two items, one was the “Red Dragon Dagger” Magic Artifact that Lu Ran had used to kill the protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect’s Golden Dragon Hall when they first met, and the other red Treasure Bead was also a Magic Artifact Lu Ran had used during his lifetime.

Such Magic Artifacts of Cultivators were beyond the command of magicians of the Scale Frog Alien Clan, and it seemed Lu Ran had no intention of taking them to the grave with him.

Now giving them to Zhou Chun was tantamount to bringing an end to the bond between the two men.

As for Lu Ran’s last request, Zhou Chun would of course help him fulfill it.

This matter had already been discussed by Lu Ran before his death; he did not wish to be buried in the Scale Frog Alien Clan tribe but wanted to be buried in a mountain city underneath the site of the former Red Dragon Hall of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

From this alone, one could tell that Lu Ran had always considered himself part of the Human Clan at heart and felt little sense of belonging to the Scale Frog Alien Clan.

“Rest assured, Taoist Friend Wukulu, I will give Senior Lu a proper burial,” Zhou Chun solemnly assured Wukulu as he took over the two Magic Artifacts.

After exchanging a few words about future trade between the two races, Zhou Chun left with Lu Ran’s body and departed from the Black Spear Tribe.

Several days later, Zhou Chun’s figure appeared near the former site of the Red Dragon Hall.

Although decades had passed, the Dragon Transformation Sect had shown no signs of reusing the site, and a fourth-order Demon Beast had made its presence known there.

Not wanting to disturb the fourth-order Demon Beast, Zhou Chun dared not make too much noise and, after finding the mountain city ruins that Lu Ran had mentioned, he buried his body there.

“Senior Lu, I have now fulfilled your last wish. I hope that in your next life, you can still reincarnate as a human and set foot on the path of cultivation once more!”

In front of the new grave, made from bluestone, Zhou Chun poured several cups of Spiritual Wine in front of the tomb, concluding his tribute to its occupant.

This was likely the last tribute the master of the tomb would enjoy after being buried.

After paying his respects to Lu Ran, Zhou Chun returned to his family.

No sooner had he arrived back at Jiufeng Ridge’s mountain gate than he suddenly felt a strong sense of connection.

Hence, instead of first going to meet with Zhou Mingde in his mountain peak dwelling as he had initially planned, he changed his mind and went to his own residence first.

When he opened the gate of his courtyard, a large silver-white snake head appeared in front of him.

“Oh, Baibai, have you awakened?”

Zhou Chun’s face broke into a slight smile as he reached out to touch the snake head in front of him.

But suddenly, as if he had discovered something incredible, his gaze sharply focused, looking towards the top of the snake head.

Atop the snake’s head, the bulge that had been there was now gone, replaced by a long, silver One-Horned horn.
