Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Queen Bee, we beg you to unleash divine punishment upon this fiend who dared to disrespect the Holy Maiden!"

Someone shouted first, and the bound Ukrainian followers began to pray in Ukrainian, hoping that their queen bee would save their saintess.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yixiao seemed to have thought of something and leaned close to Bai Yue's ear, whispering with a smile.

"If I were to make love to you in front of your queen bee, how would she feel?"

"I reckon it'll sing a song; today is truly a wonderful day!"

After muttering a curse to herself, Bai Yue ignored Hua Yixiao's teasing, while the surrounding prayers grew louder and louder, like a swarm of bees.

"Shut up, all of you! All that noise is driving me crazy!"

The martial arts practitioners guarding these Wu people began to beat and curse them, while Mo Yulong revealed a lewd expression on his face, lowered his voice, and winked at Murong Chuan beside him.

"Tsk, our leader is really still vigorous for his age, and the young woman in his arms is indeed as beautiful as a celestial being. No wonder the leader couldn't resist her..."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped across the face.

"Shut your mouth! How dare you make up stories about the cult leader like that?"

The person who hit him was Lingxi, whose face was cold and whose eyes were filled with an indescribable jealousy as she stared intently at Baiyue on the high platform.

"Yes, yes, Master Lingxi is right! I misspoke. Our leader's divine might is unparalleled, and his holy heart is unique. How could we presume to fathom his abilities..."

Mo Yulong pleaded for mercy, but inwardly he cursed him.

"Pah! What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for! You're just an old woman who can't have what she wants, so she says it's sour grapes!"

Just as everyone's attention was diverted by Hua Yixiao's actions, Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi moved almost at the same moment!

Hua Mu'an flicked his wrist, deflecting Yuwen Yi's fist that was aimed at his face, and then clenched his fingers to lock Yuwen Yi's wrist pulse point!

At the same time, Ling Xuzi slightly turned his body, skillfully avoiding Yuwen Yi's hand that was grabbing his collar, while his other hand reached out like a snake and grabbed the pulse point of Yuwen Yi's other wrist!

The two worked together seamlessly and instantly subdued the agitated Yuwen Yi. When he was subdued, he was stunned at first, then his anger intensified. He stiffened his neck and roared.

"Finally willing to fight back? Come on! Kill me! You've never treated me like a brother anyway! Kill me and you'll live!"

After Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi subdued him, they did not launch any further attacks.

Instead, almost simultaneously, the two men raised their other hands and gently placed them on Yuwen Yi's violently heaving shoulders.

"Ayi... I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Hua Mu'an looked at Yuwen Yi's pained eyes and said with a face full of guilt.

"Yes, we haven't fulfilled our responsibilities as elder brothers all these years; we owe you so much!"

Then Ling Xuzi also spoke, his voice choked with emotion.

"Ha, now you know how to repent? What were you doing all this time?"

Although Yuwen Yi was somewhat bewildered by their sudden apology, he still stubbornly insisted on continuing.

"Yes, it's all our fault for being too indecisive!"

Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi exchanged a glance, as if they had made a major decision. They tightened their grip on Yuwen Yi's shoulders slightly, their tone resolute.

"Ayi, from now on, please... live well for us two unworthy brothers."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them simultaneously pushed Yuwen Yi toward Yuwen Ze, and then looked at Bai Yue on the high platform.

"Little fairy, we are not destined to be together in this life. May you live a peaceful and joyful life from now on, and may you occasionally remember that there was once a man named Hua Mu'an who truly loved you."

Hua Mu'an's gaze was deep and focused, as if he wanted to engrave Bai Yue's image into the depths of his soul. Almost at the same time, Ling Xuzi's voice also rang out.

"Xiaoyue, from now on, the wind blowing through the pines and the water flowing over the green stones are all my thoughts of you. I don't ask for your response, I only wish you peace and happiness."

The two lines of confession echoed clearly in the queen bee hive, which had suddenly fallen into a deathly silence.

The next moment, Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi did not hesitate at all and leaped into the bottomless abyss!

The two figures, like moths drawn to a flame, were instantly swallowed up by the boundless darkness and vanished.

"elder brother!!!"

After a long while, Yuwen Yi’s hoarse and broken roar suddenly rang out, but this belated recognition received no response.

"Just... die like that?"

On the high platform, Hua Yixiao, who had been enjoying the spectacle of "brothers killing each other," froze when he saw Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi leap into the deep cave without hesitation.

His eyes seemed to flash with shock, frustration, and pain that even he himself was unaware of.

Just then, the distraught Yuwen Yi suddenly raised his head. His face was streaked with tears, and his eyes were bloodshot. He roared with extreme grief and indignation at the high and mighty Hua Yixiao.

"Hua Yixiao! You monster! It's all your fault! You killed my brother! You drove them to their deaths! I'll kill you! I'll make you pay with your life!!!"

This roar, like a thunderclap, instantly erased the pain from Hua Yixiao's face, replacing it with an almost cold calm.

He looked down at Yuwen Yi, who was acting like a madman, and said sarcastically.

"Oh? Now you know to call me 'brother'? When you were punching them earlier, why didn't you hold back?"

Hua Yixiao's tone was calm, yet every word was piercing.

"Forced them to their deaths? Ha, Yuwen Yi, get this straight, I was the one who proposed 'only one can live,' but wasn't it you who actually attacked them and wished them dead? What, now that they're dead, you want to shift all the blame onto me to lessen your own guilt?"

He leaned slightly forward, his eyes sharp as knives, as if they could pierce through people's hearts.

“You know very well in your heart that what killed them was your own resentment and impulsiveness? I gave you a choice, but the way things turned out is all the result of your own actions.”

These words were like the sharpest dagger, piercing into the most painful and unbearable part of Yuwen Yi's heart.

He was blinded by anger and vented all his resentment on Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi.

"It was...it was me...it was me who wanted to kill them..."

Yuwen Yi muttered to himself, his eyes unfocused.

"It's me...it's all my fault...I killed my brother...I killed them all..."

Extreme regret and the agony of losing his loved ones overwhelmed Yuwen Yi like a tidal wave.

"No, Yi, this isn't your fault. Please don't be misled!"

Seeing that Yuwen Yi's eyes were unfocused, Yuwen Ze quickly spoke up to persuade him.

"Your brothers said they hoped you would live well for them, and your wife, she..."

"Miss?"

Upon hearing this address, Yuwen Yi's eyes seemed to regain a glimmer of clarity. He quickly looked up and saw Bai Yue being held in Hua Yixiao's arms.

"My wife...I love you."

Yuwen Yi's lips moved a few times, and he shouted with all his might.

"But... I'm sorry."

Tears streamed down his face again. Yuwen Yi abruptly turned and ran towards the deep cave entrance that had swallowed his two elder brothers. Without any hesitation, he leaped into the air!

"Ayi! No!"

Yuwen Ze, who wanted to step forward to stop them, was held down by Mo Yulong and the others, while Yuwen Yi's figure, like a bird with broken wings, quickly disappeared into the darkness.
