Chapter 17 Bee Clan's Treasure

Luo Qing: "Tian Ke? I think I had a classmate in junior high school named Tian Ke. I wonder if it's the same person."

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Luo Qing's heart. His junior high school days seemed like a dusty old painting, slowly unfolding in his memory.

Back then, Tian Ke came from a wealthy family and was the class bully, always leading a group of followers to swagger around the school.

Luo Qing, a beautiful, introverted, mediocre orphan with no background, naturally became the target of ridicule and bullying by Tian Ke and his friends.

During breaks between classes, Tian Ke would lead a group of people to surround Luo Qing, using all sorts of sarcastic and cutting remarks to mock her, and sometimes even shoving her.

During those days, Luo Qing always endured it silently. She dared not resist, nor did she dare to tell her teachers and parents.

She was afraid—afraid of being isolated, afraid of being ridiculed by more people. Every time she came home from school, she would silently hide in her room and cry silently.

Fortunately, she studied hard and never gave up even when she was bullied. She finally got into the city's top high school and escaped Tian Ke's bullying.

Luo Qing shook her head, clearing her mind of negative thoughts. "It's okay, don't pay attention to her. Everyone has had a hard day, let's all get some rest."

Luo Qing smiled and hugged Fufu, feeling as warm as if she were embracing a little sun.

Fufu's liveliness made her forget the shadows of the past, as if the days when she was bullied by Tian Ke were just a dream.

"Fufu, what did you do today? Did anything interesting happen?" Luo Qing asked gently, her eyes full of love for Fufu.

Fufu's big eyes sparkled with excitement. She grabbed Luo Qing's hand and said eagerly, "Sister, sister, I went to the shed today, guess what I saw?"

As she spoke, Fufu pulled Luo Qing towards the shed. Infected by Fufu's enthusiasm, Luo Qing quickly followed.

Stepping into the shed, Luo Qing was instantly stunned by the sight before her.

The once empty and ordinary shacks have now been transformed into a fairytale-like little world.

On the walls, Fufu has painted various vivid patterns with colorful paints, creating a vibrant and whimsical effect. In the corner, there are small wooden furniture pieces handmade by Fufu, simple yet adorable.

Sunlight streamed through the skylight, adding warmth and tranquility to the small space.

Luo Qing looked at Fufu, her eyes filled with surprise and emotion. She hadn't expected that Fufu could transform the shed into something so beautiful in just one day.

This is not just a renovation of a space, but also a manifestation of Fufu's yearning for a better life. Luo Qing gently hugged Fufu and exclaimed, "Fufu, you're amazing!"

Fufu proudly raised her little head and took Luo Qing's hand, explaining each piece of furniture to her.

Luo Qing listened with a smile, nodding and praising each story she told, her emotional value was off the charts.

Luo Qing and Fu Fu came out of the shed, and the afterglow of the moon shone on them, as if draping them in a beautiful veil.

Looking at Fufu's excited little face, Luo Qing felt a warm feeling well up in her heart. She took Fufu's hand and said with a smile, "Fufu, let's go back and cook dinner. Today is a day worth celebrating, so we should have a good meal."

The two returned to the open space on the raft, and Luo Qing began to get busy.

She skillfully chopped the vegetables, while Fufu helped by handing her seasonings. The air was filled with the aroma of food and laughter, like the most beautiful melody.

Before long, a sumptuous dinner was laid out in front of the two of them. There was braised fish, stir-fried potatoes, and Fufu's favorite stir-fried fish roe. Luo Qing had even cooked rice. Luo Qing served Fufu a bowl of rice and said with a smile, "Fufu, try it and see if it's good."

Fufu couldn't wait to scoop out a big mouthful and stuff it into her mouth. "It's so delicious! Sister is amazing!" she exclaimed, giving a thumbs up.

Luo Qing smiled and served herself a bowl; she was also starving.

The two enjoyed the delicious food together, and the moment was so peaceful and beautiful.

“By the way, sister, the queen bee you caught in your space today is looking for you,” Fufu suddenly said.

"Looking for me?" Luo Qing felt a little embarrassed, remembering her "robbery" behavior.

"Yes, she said she wanted to talk to you about a deal."

"Okay, I'll go find her after I finish eating." Luo Qing nodded. "Hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold."

After finishing dinner, Luo Qing cleaned up the dishes before going into the space with Fu Fu.

The two walked together to the screen outside the flower garden, and Fufu shouted, "Xiangxiang, my sister is here!"

The queen bee slowly flew out of the hive. She was much larger than an ordinary bee and radiated a golden light, like a dignified and noble queen.

Her wings fluttered, emitting a soft and pleasant buzzing sound, as if greeting Luo Qing and Fu Fu.

She flew to Luo Qing and stopped in mid-air, carefully examining Luo Qing with her crystal-clear eyes.

Luo Qing felt a little nervous, but she still mustered her courage and smiled as she nodded to the Bee Queen.

The queen bee gently vibrated her wings, emitting a soft buzzing sound.

Her voice rang in Luo Qing's ears, like a warm breeze, "Hello, I am Queen Bee Qiu Xiang, you can just call me Xiang Xiang."

Luo Qing was surprised by the Bee Queen's politeness. She instinctively extended her hand, "You're not done yet? I'm Luo Qing, nice to meet you."

After saying that, Luo Qing realized what she had said and tried to withdraw her hand in embarrassment.

The next second, the queen bee stretched out her hand and touched Luo Qing's hand with a puzzled look. She even looked up at Luo Qing as if to ask if this was the right thing to do. "I am also very happy to meet you."

"I'm so sorry for moving you into my space without your permission. I apologize." Luo Qing sincerely apologized; she hadn't expected the queen bee to be intelligent.

"That's alright. I wanted to talk to you about a collaboration," Queen Bee Qiuxiang said gently.

“Fufu has already told me, so you can just say it.”

"That's right. Our bee clan once had a priceless treasure, a treasure that was extremely important, but it was later lost. Without it, the number of new bee lives will decrease. The bee clan will eventually perish."

"I've received information that the Arcana will appear in the Island Conquest tournament in a few days. I hope you can help me find it."

"If you are willing, the entire bee family will be at your service from now on."

Luo Qing thought about it for a while. Since she was going to participate in the island championship anyway, this was just a side thing, so she agreed.

Qiu Xiang handed her a small, round disc that resembled a compass, saying, "It will guide you to find the treasure."

"Rest assured, I will do my best to find the treasure and save the bee clan."

After reaching an agreement, the two parties said goodbye.

After Luo Qing helped Fufu wash up, they returned to the shed to prepare for bed.

"Sister, are you going to a competition in a few days?" Fufu hugged Luo Qing's waist, a little reluctant to part. She had been alone on the raft all day and missed Luo Qing very much.

“Yes, my sister is going to participate in the island championship. Fufu can go with her. The system will keep the raft safe during the competition.” Luo Qing knew that Fufu was reluctant to part with it.

Fufu smiled happily, "That's great! Fufu is going to help her sister!"

"Fufu, you're so kind." A touch of emotion flashed in Luo Qing's eyes.
