Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Long time no see? It seems there might be some problems inside the queen bee's hive!"

Ignoring the old priest's exclamation, Bai Yue slowly walked to Elder Miao, who was still writhing on the ground in pain.

"Miao Fa'an, although the Queen Bee is strict, she is also loving. Considering your sincere repentance and the Miao family's generations of piety, she bestows upon you holy water to alleviate your pain and cleanse your sins."

As she spoke, she handed the jade bottle to him. The other person struggled to lift his head and, with Bai Yue's help, drank the pale golden liquid in the bottle in one gulp.

Almost the instant the liquid entered his throat, the pain on Elder Miao's face quickly subsided!

He struggled to his feet, then knelt down with a thud before Bai Yue, his head touching the ground, his voice choked yet resonant:

"Thank you for your grace, Holy Maiden! Thank you for your forgiveness, Queen Bee! The entire Miao family will forever remember the Holy Maiden's life-saving grace, and will serve the Queen Bee and the Holy Maiden with even greater devotion, never daring to have any disloyalty again!"

This complete "miracle" was more impactful than any words! After Bai Yue raised her hand to signal Elder Miao to stand up, she looked around at everyone in the hall and spoke.

"As you all have seen, the Queen Bee is the most just deity. She is willing to forgive and bestow blessings upon her people who have devout faith and genuine repentance."

As Bai Yue finished speaking, her gaze swept towards Yang Mushan.

"But! For those stubborn and rebellious individuals who even question the Queen Bee's will..."

Before she could finish speaking, the old priest shouted sternly at the hesitant guards.

"What are you all standing there for? Seize this rebellious scoundrel Yang Mushan immediately and await the Holy Maiden's judgment! Do you also want to taste the Queen Bee's wrath?"

These words were like a final, heavy blow, completely shattering the guards' last shred of fear of Yang Mushan. Someone shouted "Take him down!" and the group rushed towards Yang Mushan.

The other person was so frightened that he turned around and tried to run out of the hall, shouting incoherently.

"No! You can't arrest me! I'm an elder of the Yang clan, and the cult leader's nephew!"

Yang Mushan hadn't run more than a few steps when guards rushed up from different directions, grabbed his arms, pinned him to the ground, and tied him up tightly. They even gagged him quickly, leaving him only able to make desperate "woo-woo" sounds.

"Old priest, please prepare the sacrificial ceremony quickly, and gather all the believers near the queen bee's nest so that everyone can feel the queen bee's blessings!"

Bai Yue gave instructions to the old priest kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, Your Majesty's decree!"

The other person immediately stood up and ran towards the back of the hall, while the other guards held their breath, clearly waiting for Bai Yue's next instructions.

"Wait a minute!"

Just then, the hoarse, unpleasant voice finally rang out again from the throne. Yang Yumo looked at Bai Yue, her voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

“Your Holiness, Mu Shan spoke recklessly and offended you and the Bee Queen. He certainly deserves punishment, but…”

While the other party was carefully considering her words, Bai Yue didn't give her a chance at all and simply spoke calmly.

"Master Yang, do you also want to defy the Queen Bee's decree? Besides, I personally sent Yang Mushan to see the Queen Bee. Shouldn't this be the greatest honor for your Yang family?"

"..."

Bai Yue's words left Yang Yumo, who was on the throne, speechless. After all, they had once forced other clans to offer their young girls as sacrifices.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Yang Yumo remained silent behind the golden mask. After a long while, her hoarse voice finally rang out again.

"The Queen Bee's divine pronouncements are naturally supreme."

She paused, then waved to the guards who had captured Yang Mushan.

"Perform the sacrifice according to the divine message conveyed by the Holy Maiden."

"Uh-huh!"

With his mouth gagged, Yang Mushan let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered, but he was eventually dragged out of the main hall.

"Master Yang is a man of great wisdom and righteousness; he is indeed the most devout and capable servant under the Queen Bee..."

After Yang Mushan's figure completely disappeared, Bai Yue cupped her hands and smiled at Yang Yumo.

"Your Holiness... you're too kind."

The golden mask turned towards the white moon, its empty eyes seemingly burning with invisible flames.

"I never expected that the Queen Bee would choose a woman as clever and capable as you to serve as the Holy Maiden."

"Heh, now you regret it, huh! Too bad you already chose me."

After muttering a curse to herself, Bai Yue rolled her eyes and prepared to provoke this Master Yang again. Suddenly, a naive and smug expression appeared on her face, and she spoke in an almost boastful tone.

"Oh dear, what Leader Yang said is certainly true. After all, who wouldn't like a young and beautiful woman like me?"

Then, as if remembering something even more interesting, Bai Yue's voice became even more coquettish.

"And it's not just our great Queen Bee."

She paused deliberately, drawing everyone's attention before continuing with her shocking statement.

"Even Hua Yixiao, the infamous leader of the Demonic Sect who was renowned throughout the martial world, fell in love with her at first sight, and even said something as shameful as, 'I am a man who hates people, but you must pity me...'"

"shut up!"

Yang Yumo's voice suddenly turned sharp and shrill. She stood up abruptly from the throne and spoke, her whole body trembling.

"What a handsome man Hua Yixiao, the leader of the Demonic Sect, is! How could he possibly be interested in someone like you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was abruptly stopped by a jade tablet that Bai Yue had taken out. The other party was stunned for a moment before leaping down from the throne and rushing straight at Bai Yue!

"Your Holiness, be careful!"

Su Ling Shuang thought Yang Yu Mo was about to hurt someone, so she tried to stand in front of Bai Yue, but the other party pushed her away and shook her head. Then, Yang Yu Mo snatched the jade token from Bai Yue's hand.

"Is this..."

While examining the jade pendant, Yang Yumo took off the silver glove on her left hand. Although the hand was quickly covered by the wide sleeve of her robe, Bai Yue still noticed that the hand was smooth and delicate, and it was not the hand of an elderly person at all!

"It seems Yang Yumo has really become younger!"

Having achieved her goal, Bai Yue saw that Yang Yumo's left hand could no longer withstand the coldness of the jade, so she handed the jade pendant to her gloved right hand. However, the way Yang Yumo looked at Bai Yue was as if she wanted to devour her alive.

"The Jade Token? Hua Yixiao's personal keepsake! How...how did you get this?"

"Naturally, Hua Yixiao gave it to Hua Mu'an, Hua Mu'an gave it to the young lady, and then Aunt Ye snatched it from the young lady and gave it directly to me!"

Recalling the origin of the Cold Jade Token, Bai Yue couldn't help but sigh, but when facing Yang Yumo, she chuckled and spoke with a hint of pride.

"How could I have it? Of course, Hua Yixiao personally gave it to me!"
