Chapter 42: Heavenly-Grade Nectar Honey

Jiang Yingxue ignored its trembling body and sneered, "I spared your life. How are you going to repay me? If you want to live, take me to your lair now."

Her icy gaze swept over the seventh-tier Nectar Bee before she continued, "I know you understand me. Your meat is tough and scrawny—not tasty at all. But your nectar honey is valuable."

Xiao Zhao stepped forward and gave it a kick with her claw. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up, lead the way."

These mid-tier spirit beasts in this dimension had developed intelligence and could understand human speech, but due to the space's restrictions, they couldn't speak.

The seventh-tier Nectar Bee gave Jiang Yingxue a suspicious glance. Even though it was extremely unwilling, to save its own skin, it had to lead the way. It cautiously took a step and found it could move. Immediately, it flapped its wings and took to the air to lead them on.

Passing through the jungle, they arrived at a mountain. Ten minutes later, they stopped before a towering cliff.

The seventh-tier Nectar Bee flew high up. On the high cliff was a hole the size of a wok. It glanced back at the people behind it and flew inside.

Jiang Yingxue scooped up Xiao Zhao, and with a thought, both of them entered the cave. In her space, she could teleport to any location.

The entrance was small, but inside were over thirty rooms, each spacious and filled with jars brimming with nectar honey. The entire cave was permeated with a sweet, cloying scent.

After the seventh-tier Nectar Bee finished showing Jiang Yingxue and Xiao Zhao around the rooms, it stopped, as if to say, 'This is everything.'

"Sister..." Xiao Zhao had been salivating all along the way. This honey looked incredibly delicious.

"Here, for you." Seeing its eyes still glued to the honey jars, Jiang Yingxue knew Xiao Zhao was craving it. She opened a jar of nectar honey and placed it in front of Xiao Zhao, who immediately perched on the rim and began eating with relish, its beak covered in honey.

Then, with a wave of her hand, two-thirds of all the honey in the cave entered her storage ring.

Watching two-thirds of the honey disappear, the seventh-tier Nectar Bee's eyes went wide. It wanted to resist, but the idea died after a second. It couldn't defeat the she-devil. Resistance meant death, and it hadn't lived long enough yet.

Seventh-tier Nectar Bee: *Forget it, consider it the price for my life.*

After taking two-thirds of the honey, Jiang Yingxue still felt it wasn't enough. The honey in these rooms was ordinary nectar honey. It tasted good, yes, but there was better honey here. This creature hadn't been honest.

Jiang Yingxue stared at the seventh-tier Nectar Bee for a few seconds. "If I remember correctly, seventh-tier Nectar Bees possess Heavenly-Grade Nectar Honey. Where is yours?"

"Don't say you don't have it. This is something every Nectar Bee should have."

Heavenly-Grade Nectar is the pinnacle of honey. Not only does it taste excellent, but its effects are also significant. A cultivator drinking a cup could equal a hundred years of arduous cultivation. It not only boosts cultivation but also has beautifying, nourishing, and body-maintaining properties, making it especially popular among female cultivators and extremely expensive.

While Heavenly-Grade Nectar is useful for cultivators, its effects on mortals are even more potent. If a mortal could drink a mouthful of pure Heavenly-Grade Nectar, a body on the brink of death could regain vitality in the next moment.

Although the seventh-tier Nectar Bee isn't high in rank, they are rare in the cultivation world and live in remote areas. Few cultivators raise them. In her two thousand years in the cultivation world, Jiang Yingxue had only seen one once. She never expected to encounter one today in her own space, which was also a key reason she spared this seventh-tier Nectar Bee's life.

Hearing Jiang Yingxue's question, a flicker of panic quickly passed through the seventh-tier Nectar Bee's eyes. It wondered how this she-devil knew it had Heavenly-Grade Nectar Honey. Did she want to steal it? Impossible!

That Heavenly-Grade Nectar was painstakingly brewed by itself. It was saving it for its own consumption and would absolutely not give it away!

So it shook its head, its eyes clear as if Jiang Yingxue had wronged it.

"Won't tell?" Jiang Yingxue raised an eyebrow. She lifted her hand, and a bolt of heavenly lightning materialized out of thin air within the stone cave, striking the seventh-tier Nectar Bee.

"Boom—"

The seventh-tier Nectar Bee was struck from mid-air and crashed to the ground. Under the lightning, its aura weakened by half, leaving it half-dead. Moreover, its skin was charred, emitting sizzling sounds and steaming heat.

Xiao Zhao lifted its head from the jar, its beak still smeared with nectar honey. It wrinkled its nose and said, "Sister, this smell in the air doesn't smell good at all."

Jiang Yingxue nodded. "Indeed, it's not."

The seventh-tier Nectar Bee only had brewing honey going for it; there was nothing edible about its body. If it didn't cooperate, Jiang Yingxue could still erase its life and search for the Heavenly-Grade Nectar Honey in its cave anyway. It's just that if it died, there would be no more nectar honey.

She glanced at the seventh-tier Nectar Bee, a ball of lightning rising in her palm. Her voice turned cold. "I'll ask you one last time. Where is the Heavenly-Grade Nectar Honey? If you don't tell me, I'll kill you. I can still tear this cave apart to find it. I'm sure I'll find it."

Everything in the space was under her Spiritual Sense. She knew where the Heavenly-Grade Nectar Honey was. This act was just giving the seventh-tier Nectar Bee a choice. Life or death depended on its decision.

Danger! A deep fear surged in the seventh-tier Nectar Bee's heart, its fur standing on end. It clearly sensed the woman in front of it wasn't lying; she would truly kill it. It was terrified.

As soon as Jiang Yingxue finished speaking, the seventh-tier Nectar Bee dragged its half-dead body up. Trembling, it flew into the air. This time, it didn't try any tricks; it didn't dare.

Leading them through twists and turns to the deepest part of the stone cave, the seventh-tier Nectar Bee shot a stinger into the seemingly ordinary ground, and the door to a hidden chamber ahead opened.

It flew in first, and Jiang Yingxue, holding Xiao Zhao, followed.

The space inside the hidden chamber was small, only about the size of the woodshed in her front yard.

Inside the chamber, there was only one jar.

The seventh-tier Nectar Bee landed on a stone pillar beside the jar, its eyes indicating to Jiang Yingxue.

"This is what you want."

Jiang Yingxue waved her hand, and the lid of the jar automatically opened. The moment the lid opened, the air was instantly filled with a rich, intoxicating aroma that felt soothing just to inhale.

The color was a dazzling bright yellow, the taste sweet, cloying, and intoxicating. It was undoubtedly Heavenly-Grade Nectar Honey.

Jiang Yingxue closed the lid and stored this jar of Heavenly-Grade Nectar Honey into her storage ring.
