Chapter 297: The Honey Brewed by the Little Honeybee is Super Sweet (5)

Tai Shuqing is fully aware of what he ate.

Brewing honey is extremely laborious.

They first need to collect nectar into their honey sacs, and through special substances secreted in their bodies, transform it into honey within them.

Except for the mating drones chosen by the queen, other bees do not have reproductive functions.

All of their output is honey.

Because of the strict roles within the bee colony, worker bees such as this one naturally do not possess any other functions.

In other words, anything produced by the little honeybee is honey.

What he ate, was naturally honey.

Tai Shuqing looked at the little honeybee whose expression seemed somewhat distressed, and gently poked his soft belly with his fingertip.

Bees do not need clothes. They spend their entire lives brewing honey for the queen, so they have no concept of modesty.

Except for the tiny piece of thin cloth covering the key areas, the little honeybee's white skin was revealed.

The little honeybee's belly was very soft, and Tai Shuqing poked it again.

Song Chuyi watched silently...

He collapsed softly.

After pausing briefly, Tai Shuqing created a small amount of ice on his fingertip and offered it to the little honeybee's mouth.

Song Chuyi looked up at him, perplexed.

"Do you want some?" Tai Shuqing asked.

Song Chuyi's body was hot at this moment, and eating something cold would be nice.

Thinking about it, he nodded.

The ice was offered to Song Chuyi's mouth.

He eagerly took it into his mouth.

Surprisingly, the ice wasn't that cold; the slightly cool sensation was a bit like eating crushed ice, just without much flavor.

Song Chuyi smacked his lips. "I think making honey crushed ice would be good."

Tai Shuqing murmured quietly. "What is crushed ice?"

"It's ice crushed into sand," Song Chuyi explained. "Very delicious."

Tai Shuqing appeared content upon seeing that the little honeybee had regained vitality.

——

For several consecutive days, Song Chuyi would smell the fragrance of the Shuyu flower for no apparent reason.

Each time, he would stumble forward and cling to Tai Shuqing's fingers, rubbing against them wildly.

Tai Shuqing would always look at him quietly, as if tolerating his antics.

Most of the time, he was silent, his gaze cold and devoid of emotion.

This, in contrast, made the little honeybee seem even more playful.

Song Chuyi, after much soul-searching to himself, decided to be extra cautious and absolutely not get tricked again!

As soon as the other bees had rested, Song Chuyi began getting busy once more.

This time, he was on high alert, determined not to come into contact with the Shuyu flower.

In mid-air, Tai Shuqing, who had concealed himself, hovered a Shuyu flower on Song Chuyi's left side.

Song Chuyi reacted swiftly this time, immediately catching sight of the Shuyu flower.

He remembered clearly that there was no Shuyu flower there just moments ago.

But now it had appeared.

Thinking about how Tai Shuqing always seemed to show up just in time, it hit him.

Tai Shuqing was behind this!

Song Chuyi put his hands on his hips, flapped his wings and took off.

"Master, isn't it fun to stay up all night?"

Knowing that the little honeybee had seen through him, Tai Shuqing revealed himself.

He spread out his hand so the little honeybee could fly into his palm.

Song Chuyi let out a little huff, flew over, sat in his palm, and swung his legs.

"You know the Shuyu flower affects me, why do you keep putting it near me?"

Tai Shuqing glanced down at the little honeybee in his palm, his eyes softening.

"It's cute."

He replied, "A'Chu's reactions are cute."

The deity who had never known what 'cute' meant felt this new joy of cuteness for the first time in the little honeybee.

This joy made him behave in ways that puzzled even him.

"Are you mad at me, A'Chu?" he asked again.

Song Chuyi cocked his head, with a serious look.

"Yes, I am angry."

Tai Shuqing's long lashes lowered, he shimmered slightly, and he returned to the palace.

He placed the little honeybee on the grand throne, standing at the center of the grand hall.

As Song Chuyi watched in shock, he dropped to one knee.

He bowed his head, thin ice forming around him.

Mist spread, making his form more mysterious.

"A'Chu, stop being mad."

He apologized earnestly.

"I'm sorry."

He hadn't even figured out why the little honeybees were upset but had already apologized.

The palace grew cold. Tai Shuqing's long eyelashes had unknowingly frosted over, as if he had shed tears.

As Song Chuyi sat on the high throne, he felt as if he could control Tai Shuqing's destiny.

No wonder so many people love sitting on this throne.

He stood up, flapped his wings, and flew to Tai Shuqing.

"The Shuyu flower makes me uncomfortable. Don’t do this again."

Tai Shuqing looked up at him and murmured, "Hmm."

Pausing, he asked, "Is it because of the causal energy inside A'Chu?"

"What?" Song Chuyi was slow to respond.

"Causal energy." Tai Shuqing's fingertip touched Song Chuyi's soft belly. "It circulates in your body."

Song Chuyi quickly understood what Tai Shuqing meant.

It must be the karma Ying Chengan left behind in the last world.

Yet it was odd that this hadn't happened before.

He also recalled Ying Chengan's final words—messing with his karma...

Did the bad guy figure something out?

Song Chuyi frowned slightly. His brow furrowed with concern.

"Is A'Chu worried?"

Song Chuyi blinked lightly and came back to his senses.

"How’d you know?"

"I noticed it," Tai Shuqing said. "I saw the causal energy circulating in A'Chu's body."

"Bees don’t react to those flowers—only A'Chu does."

He held the little honeybee in his palm; his fingertips were cool.

"Did someone pick on A'Chu?"

"Nah." Song Chuyi hugged Tai Shuqing's fingers. "No bullying here."

Tai Shuqing murmured, "Hmm."

I don't know if Song Chuyi believed the words of the little honeybee or not.

The ice palace was freezing, and threads of cold air crept into Song Chuyi's body, cooling the heat from the Shuyu flower's scent.

Song Chuyi lay back completely, allowing Tai Shuqing to treat him.

Hmm... I guess you could call it treatment, since this coolness entering his body was quite effective.

Occasionally, Song Chuyi would also feel puzzled—Are the villains in this world really emotionless?

Even though Song Chuyi was so uncomfortable, his first instinct wasn't to fix his own issue but to purge the toxins from him.

He used his core energy.

Using his core energy to suppress the causal force within his body was indeed unexpected.

If it weren't for confirming over and over that the villain didn't remember the other worlds, he would really think he had regained his memory.

In any case, with Tai Shuqing's help, the adverse effects Song Chuyi experienced due to the floral fragrance diminished significantly.

At this moment, the story's background events began to happen.
