Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

"If you don't want it, just say so. Don't use me as a cover." Qiongqi sneered.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao covered his face in pain.

When Jiao Chong heard this, he was happy: "Look, Qiongqi has said it..."

"...Okay." Qin Xiao had no choice but to agree and nodded with his ears burning.

Jiao Chong chuckled and touched the queen bee with his fingertips, as if they had completed an exchange of thoughts. The queen bee fluttered its wings and landed on Qin Xiao's shoulder.

——Carrying a bee of this size on your shoulders is not much different from carrying an eagle.

Qin Xiao thought uncomfortably.

It's just that the shape is slightly different.

Indeed, the fluff on the queen bee's body was soft, but Qin Xiao had no urge to touch it. Facing those wide-open eyes, he reluctantly touched its translucent wings.

"... Just call him Xiao Mi. I've told him. He will follow you obediently." Jiao Chong said happily, "By the way, he doesn't like rainy days. Before it rains, he will give you a hint, which is dancing. He also..."

Jiao Chong pulled Qin Xiao to talk about Xiao Mi's preferences and points that need to be paid attention to. Qin Xiao nodded continuously.

Although Qin Xiao acted nonchalant, Jiao Chong knew he would take note of it. The two voices alternated back and forth, and they finished what they were going to say in one breath.

The Qiongqi next to them couldn't help but reveal an indescribable look.

Qiongqi once again felt that Qin Xiao's patience was really good. If it were him, he would have run away long ago.

After hearing this, Qin Xiao was afraid that Jiao Chong would push some weird things on him again, so he left in a hurry.

Qiongqi glanced at Jiao Chong, said nothing, nodded, and followed Qin Xiao.

Jiao Chong looked at Qin Xiao's hurried back, slowly packed up his things, and prepared to leave.

Qin Jinyi stood not far away, watching the slow-moving Jiao Chong with a serious look in his eyes.

Mo Hanshang still had a smile on his face, but his eyes grew colder.

Mo Hanshang glanced at Qin Jinyi: "What do you think?"

“…Don’t tell anyone.”

Qin Jinyi whispered, his tone hiding an uneasiness that he himself hadn't noticed.

Mo Hanshang raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.

Qin Jinyi originally wanted to go find Jiao Chong after saying goodbye to Mo Hanshang, but seeing that Jiao Chong was about to leave, he had to go up and talk to the strange man first.

Jiao Chong was slowly folding the wide linen into a small square piece of cloth and putting it into his black robe. He was about to get up and leave when a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

Jiao Chong looked up and saw a human standing in front of him, looking at him with a complicated expression.

"We've closed this stall." Jiao Chong thought he came over out of curiosity.

"I'm not here to buy anything." Qin Jinyi pursed her lips and smiled at him.

Jiao Chong was puzzled, and turned his hat slightly half a circle, and saw Mo Hanshang also standing in front of him.

The arrogant insect slowly stood up. Qin Jinyi then realized that he was so tall that he looked down at them like a giant.

Qin Jinyi couldn't help but take a half step back and let his eyes fall down.

"What was the queen bee that the kid took away just now? Are there any more?" Mo Hanshang spoke with a cold smile.

Jiao Chong shook his head: "The Queen Bee of Guna gives birth to one every hundred years, and I have only raised three. The one that the child took away was a young one, there are no more."

"Then shouldn't you have two more? I want to buy one." Mo Hanshang asked.

"Guna Queen Bee is not for sale." Jiao Chong shook his head, "I'm giving it away, not selling it."

"Since the queen bee is so precious, why do you give it to him?" Qin Jinyi pressed Mo Hanshang down and asked softly.

Jiao Chong lowered his head, and one side of his bamboo hat tilted down: "The gift of an old friend."

"What's the old friend method?" Qin Jinyi felt as if he had grasped something and asked hurriedly.

"…It has nothing to do with you, right?" Jiao Chong suddenly stopped talking and prepared to leave.

"...Wait." Qin Jinyi stopped him.

Jiao Chong paused: "What else?"

Qin Jinyi glanced at Mo Hanshang, as if he was worried about something.

Mo Hanshang shrugged, without any intention of avoiding the issue.

Qin Jinyi clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and was about to say something, but Jiao Chong suddenly spoke.

"Do you know him?" Another voice came from the strange hat and asked him.

When Qin Jinyi heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment and nodded hesitantly.

"What's his name?" asked Jiao Chong.

"Didn't you say that you and he are old friends? How come you don't even know his name?" Mo Hanshang pulled Qin Jinyi and asked.

Jiao Chong stopped talking and looked at Mo Hanshang quietly.

Mo Hanshang looked up at the strange man who had covered his entire head tightly with a huge hat. He couldn't see anything through the dark cloth, and his words kept changing, which really made people suspicious.

"His last name is Qin." Qin Jinyi broke the weird atmosphere between the two and said to Jiao Chong, "Can you tell me your name?"

Jiao Chong turned his head, and his bamboo hat suddenly rotated 180 degrees, looking at Qin Jinyi from a distorted angle that normal people could not do.

Qin Jinyi paused, apparently noticing the strangeness of the hat, but he did not speak, quietly waiting for Jiao Chong's answer.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little frozen.

"Didn't you hear everything?" Jiao Chong pointed to where they were just now, "It's right there."

In an instant, the atmosphere around was as silent as death.

Qin Jinyi's eyes suddenly became cold and a creepy chill spread throughout his body.

Jiao Chong seemed to have not noticed at all and turned his head away again: "If you didn't hear me, I'll say it again. My name is Jiao Chong."

"Then do you know what Qiongqi is?" Mo Hanshang suddenly asked when he saw Qin Jinyi was silent.

Jiao Chong was very surprised: "Qiongqi is Qiongqi, what else can it be?"

Qin Jinyi pulled Mo Hanshang, not wanting him to ask any more questions.

But Mo Hanshang had a feeling that something was wrong and wanted to continue asking: "Is it the kid from before? From your attitude just now, it's obvious that you know that Qiongqi, so why did the kid named Qin Xiao say that he had this at home?"

Jiao Chong didn't think there was anything wrong: "He won't die so easily, and Qiongqi won't do anything to him."

"Die...do it?" Mo Hanshang's eyes moved slightly, "Is Qiongqi dangerous?"

"I think so. It is indeed dangerous for you humans." Jiao Chong said lightly.

You humans?

Qin Jinyi frowned and instantly caught this key word. Isn't he a human?

Jiao Chong seemed to have seen something. He slowly walked to a stall and stared at the small and exquisite beehives hanging in front of the stall.

Jiao Chong looked around and found that there were many curious children around looking at the beehive, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused.

So why is no one watching his place?

"Hey, these are all top-grade magic bees." The stall owner saw the proud insect and introduced it with a smile, "Here are mid-level swift bees and low-level winged bees, which are very rare in the market."

"They are dying." Jiao Chong stretched out his dead branch-like hand and pointed at the slightly wilting bees and insects in the cage in front of him.

"What are you talking about?" The stall owner was unhappy when he heard it. "I have been doing business for so many years, and I have never done a deal that goes against my conscience, let alone sell dying demon bees."

Jiao Chong ignored the stall owner's anger and said calmly, "These species cannot be placed in the same place. You should have collected these bees in the past two days. The original bees like to collect pollen from a flower called purple lotus, and if the smell of the pollen is inhaled by the winged bees, it will cause unconsciousness. The calls made by the winged bees can make the swift bees in a state of high excitement, and they will die of stress in a few days."

Jiao Chong spoke very slowly, and it seemed that he was thinking about what to say next after each sentence.

The stall owner was stunned, and looked at Jiao Chong in doubt: "Are you a magic trainer?"

Jiao Chong didn't know what a demon trainer was, so he shook his head and said, "No."

“Then how do you know so much about these bees?” the stall owner wondered.

Jiao Chong paused: "They told me themselves."

The bee trapped in the cage was groaning weakly, longing for help.

Jiao Chong stood there and thought: "If I want all of these, how much will it cost?"

"Ah? You want them all?" The stall owner was stunned. He never expected things to turn out like this.

He had just thought that this man had come here deliberately to cause trouble and disrupt the stall, but after listening he felt that it made sense. However, his sudden request made the stall owner dazed for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

"If you want all of them, I'll give it a discount, five gold coins." The stall owner said, holding up his finger.

Jiao Chong looked for it and found that he didn't bring the gold bars.

A meal for the arrogant insect.

Qin Jinyi stretched out his hand and handed the stall owner the gold coins: "I paid for him."

Jiao Chong looked at him, wondering what he was planning.

But things were good. Jiao Chong thanked him and waved his hand gently. He did something, but all the beehives were torn open and the bees inside came out.

“? Hey hey hey??” The stall owner was stunned at first, then took a few steps back in panic, his hands shining brightly, and he stared at the swarm of bees vigilantly.

The proud insect stretched out its fingers, and seemed to sprinkle some golden light, which fell on the bee colony. In an instant, the sound of the flapping wings seemed to become more powerful.

Jiao Chong waved his hand, and the swarm of bees scattered and disappeared in a moment.

Looking at the direction where the swarm of bees disappeared, Jiao Chong was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, then turned around and continued to move forward.

This time his speed was obviously much faster.

"Wait, wait a minute--" Qin Jinyi wanted to call him.

"Do you know Mo Ze?" Mo Hanshang flashed and stood in front of Jiao Chong.

Jiao Chong paused for a moment and seemed to turn his head to look at him: "Why do you want to know this? I don't understand."

"But you were clearly having a very happy chat with that kid just now, weren't you?" Mo Hanshang's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light as he stared at Jiao Chong.

"What's the point of asking these questions?" Jiao Chong's voice suddenly turned cold. "It's not good for you to know too much."

As he spoke, his figure flashed and disappeared out of thin air in full view of everyone.

Qin Jinyi:?!

Qin Jinyi looked at the place where Jiao Chong disappeared, and his pupils kept shrinking.

Mo Hanshang frowned, his face turned gloomy, he looked at Qin Jinyi and was about to say something.

"Why are you saying so much?" Qin Jinyi suddenly turned his head and frowned as he said to Mo Hanshang, "I want to ask him..."

As he spoke, he seemed a little aggrieved, turned his head and stopped talking.

When Mo Hanshang saw him, he said, "Hey," and quickly hugged him: "I just want to ask him... Alas."

Mo Hanshang wanted to explain, but then he realized that he didn't seem to have anything to explain, so he sighed, "Sorry."

Qin Jinyi felt regretful, but did not blame him too much. He sighed and said, "Why... did you ask Mo Ze's name?"

Mo Hanshang was stunned: "You know him?"

"I've seen this name before when I was reading ancient books." Qin Jinyi pursed his lips and said softly, "It is said that Mo Ze is cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, and is also good at bewitching people. A thousand years ago, he bewitched Lei Ting's then queen - the founding emperor of Yuhua, to break with Lei Ting's then emperor, rebelled against Lei Ting, and founded Yuhua."

Mo Hanshang frowned.

Qin Jinyi seemed to think that the story was a bit far-fetched, and shook his head. "When I read it, I just thought it was a random novel made up by someone before, so I didn't pay much attention to it. You know, the history of Yuhua has always been vague. We all know that it was split from Thunder a thousand years ago, but the specific details have not been passed down."

"Then in that book...how did Mo Ze die?" Mo Hanshang's face looked a little strange.

"Well..." Qin Jinyi recalled, "It is said that because Mo Ze committed many sins, which were too numerous to list, he aroused public anger and was jointly attacked by many countries... As a result, Mo Ze saw that the situation was not good, and bewitched Emperor Ying to take him in... In the end, his Yuan Qi was exhausted, and his body was dismembered and cooked."

Qin Jinyi had never seen Mo Hanshang look so ugly before, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Mo Hanshang came back to his senses, met Qin Jinyi's worried gaze, and smiled: "It's okay."

Mo Hanshang frowned slightly, avoiding Qin Jinyi's inquiring gaze.

Before he hunted down Liu Mu, he had gone to find Mo's father, because Mo Hanyu was locked up for some reason. He wanted to ask Mo's father for an explanation, so he flew to Mo's father's window without making any noise - also to run faster when Mo's father summoned the attribute.

As soon as I got to the window, I heard Father Mo talking to someone.

"I've already confirmed it, he can't be Mo Ze. Don't force me anymore!"

There was something strangely angry in my father's voice.

"Impossible. Everything about him and his every move has the shadow of Mo Ze." A hoarse voice said, "Mo Jian, you know, if Mo Ze comes back, what will happen to the entire Mo family?"

"I'll say it again, he can't be Mo Ze's reincarnation. The phenomenon you're talking about is nothing but nonsense! Even though I haven't seen him for a few years, I know exactly what he is like. Stop pointing fingers at me. You failed to kill him when he accidentally ran away as a child, so don't even think about killing him now."

The father's voice was clearly filled with murderous intent: "After all, you are just afraid that you can't control him, right?"

The strange voice laughed, "Mojian, you can protect him for a while, but you can't protect him forever. Since we couldn't kill him then, let's just wait and see."

"Let's see how long he can live..."

"It's been nearly a thousand years, Mo Ze has been dead for a long time, why are you so persistent?"

"We will not allow someone who could pose a threat to the Mohist School at any time to live." The strange voice said sinisterly, "Where are you?!"

Mo Hanshang didn't listen to the rest of the words. He turned around and ran, running wildly with his feet on the wind, and almost ran away.
