While Jiangning was experiencing a snowstorm, Ye Lan's place was as warm as springtime, with bees collecting nectar and birds chirping in the forest.

After being in the Cloud Cave for a long time, Ye Lan finally discovered that there were no seasons here. He could only count how many days had passed by remembering the number of sunrises and sunsets. As of now, he only knew that more than a year had passed, and he couldn't remember how much longer it would take to leave.

Ye Lan cultivated very quickly here. After he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he did think about going to find Jiang Ning and the others, but the Great Devouring Demon Lion wouldn't let him leave and there was nothing he could do but wait until the three years were up before he was forcibly removed from the Cloud Cave.

Ye Lan himself wasn't sure whether the argument of forced withdrawal would work on him without the Great Devouring Demon Lion's consent.

Over the course of more than a year, Ye Lan had grown accustomed to raising the two "big cats." They got along so well that even the little demon-devouring lion would let him hold it and stroke its fur.

Ye Lan had his eye on the beehive not far from the cave entrance a long time ago. The beehive was built on the cliff next to the waterfall, in a very high position. Before, his cultivation level was not high enough, so he did not dare to act rashly. After he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he began to plan how to safely remove the beehive.

At this moment, Ye Lan was flying into the sky on a sword with the little demon-devouring lion. After accidentally experiencing flying on a sword, the little demon-devouring lion liked to have Ye Lan take it around the cave.

This time, it was also it that insisted on coming with Ye Lan to join in the fun. The two of them stood on the sword, looking at the beehive not far away.

There wasn't even any vegetation on the cliff. As a wood-elemental being, Ye Lan would have a hard time attacking these black bumblebees. The black bumblebees' stingers had a paralyzing effect, so he planned to outsmart them. He would knock the beehive down with something, then fly down to catch it. If the black bumblebees attacked, he would jump into the waterfall to hide. Bees are afraid of water, so black bumblebees should be no exception.

“Xiaobai, wait a moment, I’ll knock down the beehive, catch it and we’ll run back,” Ye Lan said, looking at the beehive.

If they couldn't escape, Ye Lan would grab Little White and dive into the water, hoping that the black bumblebee really couldn't swim. This was Ye Lan's plan.

Little White is the Little Devouring Demon Lion. Ye Lan, who is terrible at naming things, named it this because of its snow-white appearance. The Great Devouring Demon Lion is called Big White, but he doesn't dare to call it that. He once called it that and was immediately overwhelmed by the overwhelming pressure, falling flat on his face. This Great Devouring Demon Lion loves to use this move on him the most.

Ye Lan picked up Xiao Bai and flicked a few small stones towards the center of the honeycomb. The parts that were hit broke off and fell straight down.

The black bear wasps, suddenly attacked, panicked. They quickly realized that it was the human in front of them who had attacked them, and they bared their stingers and chased after Ye Lan.

As soon as the beehive fell, Ye Lan flew down after it, caught it, stuffed it into his spatial storage, and desperately tried to escape into the cave, hoping that the pressure from the giant white beehive would repel them.

"Om~Om~Om~"

The speed of the black bumblebees exceeded Ye Lan's expectations. In no time, they were almost catching up. Hearing the sound so close to his ear and glancing at the distance to the cave entrance, he had no choice but to abandon the cave and turn to dive down into the waterfall below.

With the waterfall still some distance away and the black bumblebee about to catch up, just as Ye Lan thought his life was about to end and was about to throw Xiao Bai aside to let it escape, Xiao Bai broke free from his embrace.

Ye Lan felt a weight on his shoulder; it turned out that Xiao Bai had climbed onto his shoulder. He quickly reached out and hugged Xiao Bai's back to prevent it from falling off.

"Roar!" In the critical moment, the little demon lion finally remembered its skill. It stood on Ye Lan's shoulder and sprayed a fireball at the black bumblebees behind it. The black bumblebees caught fire the moment they touched the fireball, and soon they were burned to death and fell. Ye Lan could vaguely smell the aroma of the burnt black bumblebees.

The remaining black bumblebees continued to chase them, but Little White spat out two more fireballs, burning the black bumblebees in front to death. The last black bumblebees stopped upon seeing this.

Ye Lan looked back at the scene and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was relieved. Suddenly, he smelled a strange burning smell. Xiao Bai had actually burned the ends of his hair that were floating up!

"Oh my god!" Now that they were very close to the waterfall, Ye Lan plunged into the water without hesitation, not even letting go of Xiao Bai.

After falling into the water, Ye Lan's hair finally stopped burning. He poked his head out from the bottom of the water and looked helplessly at the little white dog paddling beside him. This young version of the Demon-Devouring Lion obviously couldn't swim. Ye Lan reached out and picked it up on his head. Seeing that the black bear bee didn't chase after him, he swam to the shore with the little Demon-Devouring Lion on his head.

Once on the shore, Ye Lan cast a cleansing spell to dry herself and Xiao Bai, then carried it towards the cave.

Having safely returned to the cave, Ye Lan had no interest in Xiao Bai, who wanted to eat honey. He looked at his burnt hair and felt like crying. When he first transmigrated, it took him a long time to learn how to tie his hair up. "This is retribution!"

Seeing this, Xiao Bai angrily abandoned Ye Lan and walked into the cave.

Ye Lan cut off his scorched hair, and in an instant, his waist-length hair was reduced to shoulder length. If he wasn't afraid of being treated as an oddball when he went back, he would have liked to cut it back to the way it was in modern times.

Thinking of the modern world, Ye Lan recalled the milk tea and desserts he had eaten before. He had been in the Cloud Cave for two years, and the ingredients there were of high quality, but even they could get tiresome if eaten too much. Now that he had honey, he could try making some drinks.

When Ye Lan came to her senses, she realized that Xiao Bai was gone. Thinking of its snarling face, Ye Lan shuddered. This little thing was very difficult to coax when it got angry!

He went into the cave to find Little White. The Great Devouring Lion was sleeping, and these days it was sleeping for longer and longer periods of time.

Little White was leaning against its mother, its back to her with its bottom sticking out.

"It's my fault. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to come back safely. I shouldn't blame you." Ye Lan apologized, but Xiao Bai didn't move and still turned its back to him.

"To make up for it, I'll make you the honey-glazed roasted pig we agreed on tomorrow." That's why they went to find honey together.

Little White's ears twitched.

"There's also a really delicious honey water that I guarantee you'll like," Ye Lan continued to tempt.

Ugh, this human is really awful, only knowing how to tempt himself with delicious food.

Even with these thoughts in mind, the little demon lion still raised its head. Ye Lan knew that Xiao Bai had agreed to this compensation method, and continued, "Tonight I will set a trap to catch that little pig. You can try this honey first."

As she spoke, she took out a small piece of honeycomb from her spatial storage, and the sweet aroma of honey immediately filled the air. Little White turned its head and saw that Ye Lan had already squeezed the honey onto its plate.

It raised its noble head and walked towards Ye Lan. Hmph, human, I only forgave you because you begged me.

Although there was no communication, Ye Lan could understand its thoughts. "Yes, yes, it's my request. Please, my little ancestor, have mercy and forgive me."

While Xiaobai was eating honey, Ye Lan resisted the urge to pet it a couple of times, because Xiaobai hated being touched while eating and would only let him pet it after it had finished eating and was lying on its stomach.

After Xiaobai finished eating, Ye Lan took out some honey from her space and tasted it. The honey from the black bumblebee had a soft and delicate texture, was sweet but not cloying, and had a sweet aftertaste. It was a delicacy that Ye Lan had never tasted in her previous life.

It seems my hair loss was worth it, Ye Lan thought, and she had new expectations for tomorrow's drinks and roast pig.
