Shen Man cautiously approached the two swarms of bees, stopping a short distance away to see what they were doing.

There were many dead wild bees lying haphazardly on the ground, some with broken wings and others covered in wounds, clearly having just experienced a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, in the air, the two swarms of wild bees were still locked in fierce combat.

Their wings vibrated rapidly, making a buzzing sound, as if taunting each other. Then, they stabbed each other fiercely with their sharp quills.

The two queen bees that were the leaders fought particularly fiercely.

After being stung, one queen bee writhed in pain, but it did not back down; instead, it continued to fight its opponent tenaciously. The other queen bee, not to be outdone, quickly dodged and retaliated, attacking its opponent in the same manner.

They chased and collided with each other in the air, sometimes circling, sometimes diving, fighting fiercely and evenly.

Shen Man watched this scene with great anxiety.

In her previous life, her grandfather had also raised bees on the medicinal mountain. She knew the habits of bees very well and knew that once they started fighting, they would fight to the death, and they would not give up until the end.

If we could take these two nests of wild bees for our own use, we could produce a lot of honey every year. It would be such a waste if they died.

Thinking of this, she immediately shouted at them, "Stop arguing! Can't you talk things out?"

However, her voice was quickly drowned out by the buzzing of the wild bees.

She sighed helplessly, thinking she had to find a way to stop them. But what could she do in the face of this swarm of angry wild bees?

Shen Man looked around and saw some dry branches not far away, and an idea immediately came to her mind.

She quietly approached the branches, broke them off forcefully, and then lit one of them by friction.

Holding a burning branch, she slowly approached the swarm of bees. The heat from the flames caused the bees to retreat slightly, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Man quickly threw another burning branch between the two swarms of bees.

The swarm of bees was startled by the sudden flames and scattered in all directions, and the battle ceased.

Shen Man breathed a sigh of relief; at least they wouldn't attack each other anymore.

"What are you doing?" One of the queen bees flew fiercely toward Shen Man, as if it wanted to settle scores with her.

“If you keep fighting like this, you'll only end up hurting each other, and neither of you will gain anything. Why don’t you sit down and discuss it properly?” Shen Man said calmly to the queen bee.

"Can you understand us?" the queen bee asked, puzzled.

“Not only can I understand what you’re saying, but I can also summon all kinds of beasts. Do you believe me?” Shen Man said, taking out a white bone flute that she had hidden in her clothes.

Upon seeing the bone flute, the queen bee immediately and obediently landed on a branch next to Shen Man.

Seeing this, another queen bee flew over and landed directly on Shen Man's shoulder.

"Tell me, why did you fight?"

The two queen bees exchanged a glance, then looked at Shen Man simultaneously. One of them said, "This territory originally belonged to me, but later it led its colony to forcibly occupy it. Of course, I couldn't tolerate this behavior, so I fought with it."

The other queen bee quickly retorted, "That's not true! This place has always been unclaimed land, so why should it be yours?"

After listening, Shen Man understood. She pondered for a moment and then said, "In that case, why don't you share this land, each dividing up your own area so that you don't interfere with each other? What do you say?"

The two queen bees hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, under Shen Man's witness, they demarcated their respective territories and promised not to have any more conflicts in the future.

“However, winter is coming soon, and you will be exposed to wind, frost, snow and rain if you live here. Moreover, the honey you produce will be stolen by other animals... How about this, in a few days I will make some beehives for you, and you can move into the beehives to live. But as payment, you must give me half of the honey you harvest. What do you say?”

"Shall we share half of our honey with you?" The two queen bees were somewhat displeased upon hearing this.

"Anyway, there's so much honey that you can't possibly eat it all. If you'd like, next year I'll plant flowers all over this land so you'll have an endless supply of honey to collect."

"Okay, we'll do it your way. If you can't, we'll move somewhere else next year."

"No problem! But since you're moving, you'll have to take out all the honey you've stored, otherwise you won't have any to eat after you move to your new home! You can tell me where you used to live, and I'll collect all the honey stored there and move it to your new home for you."

Without hesitation, the two queen bees told Shen Man the location of their former burrows.

After silently memorizing all the locations, Shen Man returned to Lanxiang's side, satisfied.

Thinking about how she would soon be able to harvest lots and lots of honey, she was so happy that her mouth almost stretched to her ears.

"Man'er, you actually managed to persuade those two swarms of bees to stay calm! You're amazing!" Lanxiang exclaimed.

“Mother, let’s not work today. Let’s go back and find someone to make some beehives for the bees to live in. Also, those two bee colonies are moving. Their old hives have a lot of honey, so we have to dig it out.”

After returning to the village, Shen Man and Lan Xiang immediately found the village carpenter and told him about ordering a batch of beehives.

The carpenter had never made such a thing before, and after listening for a long time, he only had a vague understanding and didn't know how to get started.

Having no other choice, Shen Man went to the village head's house to borrow paper and pen and drew a diagram of the internal structure of a beehive for him.

After the carpenter saw it, he finally understood. However, making beehives was a meticulous task, and it would take him several days to make ten beehives.

Shen Man wasn't in a hurry. After paying half of the deposit, she went home with Lanxiang.

The next morning, Lanxiang took Shen Man and carried the buckets of water from home to the wasteland.

After about 15 minutes of digging, a huge beehive appeared before the mother and daughter.

"Man'er, this beehive is huge!"

Lanxiang had never seen such a large beehive before, and she was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

"Mom, we're rich! There must be lots of wild honey in here!" Shen Man shouted excitedly.

The bees responsible for guarding the nest were very anxious when they saw their hive being dug up. However, perhaps due to instructions from the queen bee, they only hovered above the nest and dared not attack Shen Man and Lan Xiang.

The mother and daughter carefully removed the beehive from the ground, then cut it into pieces with a knife, carefully scraping the honey from each piece and pouring it into a bucket.

After half a day of hard work, they finally finished cleaning a honeycomb, and the two large buckets they brought were filled to the brim.

These wild honeys are golden and translucent, and have a strong floral fragrance, making it clear at a glance that they are of very high quality.

Looking at the two buckets full of honey, the mother and daughter didn't feel tired at all; their faces were full of satisfied and happy smiles.
