Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Master, it is my fault for being useless and failing to discipline Aynor properly!"

Seeing that he had become the target of everyone's criticism, Elder Miao quickly knelt on one knee and begged Yang Yumo for forgiveness.

Seeing this, Yang Mushan immediately added insult to injury, shouting in a shrill voice.

"You're more than useless! You're utterly wicked! The Queen Bee entrusted her sacred body to your Miao tribe, yet your shameless granddaughter dared to..."

"Enough! Didn't you see the leader hasn't finished speaking yet?"

Ruoxu interrupted Yang Mushan's next words in a cold voice, then turned to Yang Yumo and bowed to ask.

"Master, with your greatness, you would naturally not allow such a thing to happen, right?"

"That's natural!"

Yang Yumo glanced at Ruoxu and slowly spoke.

"As the leader of the sect, I was heartbroken upon hearing this divine decree. So I knelt before the altar day and night, praying in every way, hoping that the Queen Bee would give us another chance, out of consideration for the generations of devout worship of my Wu tribe."

She paused, looked around the room, and her voice suddenly became louder.

"The Queen Bee is merciful! She has told me that she will reincarnate her offspring into a woman! If my Wu tribe can find this woman and bring her back to the Holy Church, then the Queen Bee's supreme glory will once again descend upon Wu, protecting our tribe and ensuring its prosperity!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Yumo slowly turned around, faced Bai Yue, and bowed slightly. Her hoarse voice revealed a hint of sincerity.

"Only today, witnessing the arrival of the Gu worm, do I realize that the Bee Queen's divine decree has been fulfilled! You are the new Holy Maiden chosen by the Bee Queen, the hope to lead my Wu tribe to regain its glory!"

"I see! Thank you, Master, for allowing the Queen Bee to protect my Udi once again!"

Yang Mushan reacted the fastest, immediately kneeling down and loudly echoing his sentiments.

The people inside the hall seemed to be ignited, and they all knelt down and shouted in unison.

"Thank you, Master, for allowing the Queen Bee to protect my Udi once again!"

"Hey! Are you all crazy?!"

Su Ling Shuang's face flushed with anger, and she was about to expose Yang Yu Mo's trick, but Yang Yu Mo didn't give her a chance to speak. She turned to look at Ruo Xu and spoke sternly.

"Zhu Li! How dare you be so disrespectful as to shackle the noble saintess! Immediately untie her! Then, treat the saintess with the highest honors of the church and make proper arrangements for her!"

This series of actions was so smooth and seamless, as if Yang Yumo had long been anticipating the arrival of the "saint."

Elder Miao, kneeling on the ground, felt a chill in his heart. He knew all too well that this was Yang Yumo's smartest and most cunning countermeasure after she could no longer deny Bai Yue's "miracle".

This swift change of attitude not only preserved his authority as the leader but also allowed him to firmly control the enormous variable, Bai Yue, within his grasp.

"Sigh, that woman is still as cunning and treacherous as ever!"

Elder Miao sighed inwardly, while Bai Yue naturally saw through Yang Yumo's little trick. However, she originally came to rescue Ayinuo and rebuild Wudi. Now, by a twist of fate, she obtained this "officially certified" saintess status, which brought her an unexpected benefit.

Bai Yue then put away the illusory Gu in her palm, and then revealed a profound and unfathomable expression. She neither admitted nor denied Yang Yumo's statement, but simply looked at Ruoxu and spoke indifferently.

"The shackles are indeed a bit of a hindrance."

Upon hearing this, Ruoxu immediately stepped forward and carefully untied the shackles from Bai Yue's hands and feet.

Bai Yue moved her wrists, which had regained their freedom, and then looked up at Yang Yumo.

"In that case, we shall follow the leader's arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yumo's eyes flickered beneath her mask, seemingly surprised by Bai Yue's compliance. She then gave instructions to Ruoxu.

“Zhuli, you personally take the Holy Maiden to the Holy Maiden’s Palace to rest. Ten days later, we will welcome the Queen Bee to Udi once again.”

"What? A new queen bee is finally about to be born?"

"Great! Udi is saved! The glory of the Udi people is about to return!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, many of the Uyghurs in the hall were overjoyed. To them, the birth of a new queen bee meant prosperity for the colony, the end of disaster, and the greatest blessing.

"Ha, being a saintess is indeed not easy!"

Upon hearing that Yang Yu intended to use her, the "saintess with Gu poison," as a vessel to awaken the "new queen bee," Bai Yue shrugged. However, since the other party's purpose coincided with her own, she decided to play along and quickly resolve all the problems here.

Just as Bai Yue was about to leave the main hall with Ruoxu, Yang Mushan seemed to remember something and suddenly jumped out.

He pointed at Elder Miao, whose face looked rather unpleasant, and said obsequiously to Yang Yumo, who had already returned to her seat.

"Master! Since we are welcoming the arrival of the Queen Bee, this is a great joy! According to past customs, shouldn't we select some pure young girls from the Miao people and send them to serve the Queen Bee as a sign of our Wu tribe's respect?"

He emphasized the word "Miao family" and glanced at Elder Miao with ill intent.

"Master, you mustn't! Our family has produced such a rebellious son as Aino, how can we still have the nerve to send our clansmen..."

Before Elder Miao could even utter his refusal, Yang Mushan sternly rebuked him.

"That's precisely why your Miao family should apologize even more, Elder Miao. I'm doing this for the good of your people. Do you really want them to continue suffering the Queen Bee's wrath?"

"I……"

Elder Miao wanted to say that the poison afflicting his people had been completely cured by the royal jelly given to him by Bai Yue, but if he said that, he was afraid that Yang Yumo would harm Bai Yue, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.

"Hey, Ruoxu, what do you mean by sending an innocent young girl to serve the queen bee?"

Bai Yue leaned close to Ruoxu and asked in a low voice. Taking advantage of everyone's attention being on Yang Mushan and Elder Miao, Ruoxu explained angrily in a low voice.

"Goddess, the 'service' he spoke of is an ancient ritual within the religion, which involves sending chosen girls to the sacrificial temple for three days before pushing them into the queen bee's nest!"

"Human sacrifice?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue's eyes turned cold, and then Ruoxu continued to speak.

"I've witnessed the sacrificial rituals a few times. The girls had empty, numb eyes, and often had bruises and scars on their bodies, as if... as if they had been..."

At this point, she clearly pictured an extremely unpleasant scene and was unable to continue.
