Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"What the Gu Mother needs is simply enough powerful energy to activate herself. If that's the case, it doesn't necessarily have to devour 'Gu offspring' of the same origin! Feeding it other 'food' containing powerful energy can achieve the same goal, can't it?"

Bai Yue immediately gave the queen bee her own analysis.

"Food that contains power? What do you mean?"

As soon as the Queen Bee finished speaking, Bai Yue immediately took out three items from the system space: the Sea God Pearl, the Celestial Jade Dew, and the Queen Bee Honey.

"Are these the raw materials for the Rejuvenation Pill?"

The queen bee clearly recognized these things.

"That's right, that's right. It's said that the Rejuvenation Pill they refine can make people young again and reshape their bodies, which means they must contain powerful energy?"

Bai Yue decided to try to fool the queen bee with these first. If that didn't work, she would ask to contact Xiao 1 again and exchange the panacea directly from him.

After a moment of silence, the queen bee finally spoke.

"Okay, let's try it as you say!"

Seeing the queen bee nod, Bai Yue quickly turned to Ruo Xu, who looked bewildered, and asked anxiously.

"Ruoxu, can you find a way to get some of the 'extraterrestrial meteorite iron' you gave Yang Yumo?"

"Extraterrestrial meteorite?"

Before Ruoxu could finish speaking, the queen bee suddenly spoke.

"I have plenty of that kind of thing here. Take it if you need it!"

As soon as it finished speaking, several giant bees flew over carrying the meteorite.

"However, although the energy source has been solved, the Gu mother can only spin cocoons in an environment similar to 'amniotic fluid,' and it absolutely cannot come into contact with air before it hatches into a new carrier. How do you plan to solve this problem?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Qiuqiu, who had returned to its spherical shape and was now perched on her shoulder.

"Queen Bee! This problem is easily solved!"

Bai Yue pointed at Qiuqiu and said.

"This is a water spirit transformed from a spiritual spring. Its interior is absolutely sealed, making it the perfect breeding ground for cultivating Gu mothers!"

"Let the Gu Mother enter this life form and form a cocoon?"

After saying this, the queen bee fell silent again, while Qiuqiu, as if to prove its strength, deliberately jumped up and said loudly.

"That's right, that's right, let's leave it to Qiuqiu!"

"Alright, let's give it a try. If it fails..."

Although the queen bee did not speak again, Bai Yue knew from the sight of the flying giant bees that it was definitely not going to end well.

"Go! Ball!"

As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Qiuqiu nimbly jumped to the lips of the unconscious Ayino, spread out her soft body, and covered them.

After a short while, Aino's lips moved slightly, and a thin, small worm slowly emerged from between her lips and entered Qiuqiu's body.

"It's the Gu Mother..."

Upon seeing this, Ruoxu immediately bowed. Yuwen Tianle saw insects crawling out of his mother's mouth and was about to make a sound when Yuwen Ze covered his mouth.

"Don't make a sound! Your godmother is saving your mother, you mustn't disturb her!"

"Sigh, compared to this size, she's not even in the same weight class!"

Looking at the thin Gu Mother, Bai Yue shook her head, then took out a medicine jar and handed it to Ruo Xu, giving him instructions.

"Ruoxu, quickly crush and mix the royal jelly, sea god pearl, celestial jade dew, and extraterrestrial meteorite together!"

"Yes!"

After taking the medicine pot, Ruoxu busied himself with the pestle and mortar. In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the first pot of mixture was ready.

"Drink up, drink up! Look how chubby your child is, you can't be too skinny!"

Bai Yue delivered the medicinal liquid through the surface of the sphere, slowly drifting towards the Gu Mother.

After hesitating for a moment, the Gu Mother finally stepped forward and began to inhale the medicine. As the liquid entered her body, her dull body gradually brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It seems to be working. If you're not sure, let's continue!"

With Bai Yue and Ruo Xu's cooperation, they produced a total of 10 jars of medicinal liquid, and the Gu Mother's body grew larger and larger, its size resembling that of the Gu Child.

"Hmm, it seems it doesn't want to eat anymore!"

When the Gu Mother stopped absorbing the medicinal liquid, Bai Yue instructed Ruoxu to stop. Looking at the Gu Mother swimming inside Qiuqiu's body, Ruoxu leaned close to Bai Yue and asked in a low voice.

"Holy Maiden, were you just talking to the Queen Bee?"

Bai Yue was focused on the Gu Mother's condition when she heard this and casually replied.

“That’s right. I haven’t seen my ‘servant’ for a long time, so naturally we should chat for a bit.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Bee's voice rang in Bai Yue's mind.

"Child, when did I become your 'servant'?"

Bai Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly offered an explanation.

"Queen Bee, please calm down! This is an identity I made up on the spot to gain the trust of the Wu tribe and make things easier for them. I had no intention of offending or belittling them!"

Given the current situation, how could Bai Yue dare to take this queen bee, who could suddenly turn on her and kill people at any moment, as her follower?

"Alright, now that we have nothing else to do, why don't you tell me in detail about your experiences since you came to this world? Actually, I'm still very curious as to why you're the only one who appeared here first."

As soon as the queen bee finished speaking, Bai Yue's eyes darted around, and she tentatively asked.

“Telling stories is certainly possible, but Queen Bee, could you please release my companions first? They'll stay here anyway…”

"No."

The queen bee refused decisively.

“If your method fails, the Gu Mother will still need to return to that woman’s body to prolong her life. These people are the hostages who will ensure that you cooperate in ‘inviting back’ the Gu Mother.”

"Wow, so even bees know about backup plans!"

Bai Yue clicked her tongue inwardly, marveling at how none of these sentient beings were easily fooled. She could only helplessly turn to Ruoxu, Yuwen Ze, and the others, forcing a reassuring smile.

"Everyone, please be patient and rest for a while. I'll catch up with the queen bee again."

So, surrounded by countless giant bees in silence, everyone sat down on the ground, and Bai Yue began to tell the queen bee about everything she had experienced from Wenqu Kingdom to the present.

Time slipped away quietly as Bai Yue narrated. Yuwen Ze held Ayinuo and Yuwen Tianle, who had been asleep for who knows how many times, while Ruoxu sat down cross-legged to meditate.

"Hey, Daddy, that skinny worm that came out of Mommy's mouth looks like it's spinning silk!"

Half-asleep, Yuwen Tianle pointed in the direction of the Gu Mother and asked.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue immediately stood up. Then she saw that inside Qiuqiu's transparent body, the Gu Mother, which had become full of energy, was slowly spitting out fine threads with a pale golden hue from its mouthparts.

"Queen Bee, look! The Gu Queen is about to spin a cocoon!"

As more and more threads appeared, the golden cocoon grew larger and larger. Once the Gu Mother was completely encased in the cocoon, the Queen Bee's voice rang in Bai Yue's mind once again.

"My child, your courage and quick wit have truly exceeded my expectations. I am very satisfied with this result!"

"Great! Since you're satisfied, Queen Bee, then perhaps we could..."

Before Bai Yue could finish speaking, the queen bee interrupted her.

"They can leave, but you stay!"

"Oh, Queen Bee, are you worried that the Queen Bee won't survive after she spins her cocoon? Don't worry about that, from a biological perspective..."

She had intended to teach the queen bee some biology, but the queen bee just smiled and said...

"No, it was your story that piqued my interest. My master was also puzzled by 'love,' so I wanted to see for myself what love really is!"

As soon as the queen bee finished speaking, Bai Yue shook her head with a smile.

"The queen bee is joking. Love is abstract and intangible; how can it be shown?"

"abstract?"

There was a hint of mockery in the other person's voice.

"Don't worry, I'll bring it to life right away."

Before the words were finished, a crack appeared in the beehive, and several shouts mixed with panic and urgency pierced through.

"Miss!"

"Sister Yue!"

"Owner!"

Yuwen Yi, Lu Wangyou, Hua Mu'an, and Ling Xuzi, still dressed as women, saw Bai Yue through the gap and rushed inside.
