Two full months later.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi reappeared in everyone's sight.
Upon receiving this news, Little Stone immediately led the new Stone Bee clan back to Spicy Palace from afar.
It wanted to report its latest cultivation progress to Song Chen.
However, by the time Xiao Shi returned to Spicy Palace, it was too late.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi had already gone to the blessed land of the Qilin clan for training.
Upon receiving this news, Xiao Shi was stunned for a moment, then left angrily with the stone bee.
It was determined to lead the stone bee clan to continue their diligent cultivation.
The Stone Bee clan is currently weak and unable to help Boss Zhao and the leader, which has led to them being completely ignored.
Xiao Shi grumbled and complained:
"It's been five years since we last met, and you don't even think about us! At least you should see me and Xiaofeng!"
They used to take us with them wherever they went.
Now it's even worse; we can't even meet them! What's the difference between us and the wild ones?
While cursing, Xiao Shi led the Stone Bee clan back to their cultivation place and devoted themselves to cultivation.
We'll have to wait until Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi return to discuss this further.
But what was unexpected was...
Xiao Shi waited for ten years.
Over the past decade, Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi have been traveling back and forth between the blessed lands of the demon and monster races.
Since they no longer need to run the Spicy Palace or cook, they stopped going back to the Spicy Palace to save time.
Ten years later.
A small golden stone lay on a cliff, quietly watching the sun rise and the sky brighten.
Beside it, a small silver bee was also lying.
Xiao Shi asked numbly:
"Any news about the boss and Boss Zhao today?"
The little bee sighed:
"No, I heard they won't be back for another two weeks. They went to the blessed land of the demons and have been staying there for four years."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shi murmured:
"The little bees can talk now, why haven't they come back yet?"
The little bee comforted it:
"Don't worry, he'll come back. Just wait a little longer. We've already waited fifteen years, a little more time won't make a difference."
Let's continue our training. In the next two weeks, another batch of stone bees will be able to advance.
As they spoke, countless stone bees lay prostrate on the cliff face below.
As if in response, they all flapped their wings and shook.
This cliff is where the Stone Bee clan cultivates.
Since the stone bees were modified, they have grown larger and can absorb spiritual energy, making the hive no longer suitable for habitation.
To avoid attracting attention, Xiao Shi had no choice but to take them to a secluded cliff edge in the Star Pivot Immortal Fox territory to live in seclusion and cultivate.
Without any disturbance, the Stone Bee clan made rapid progress.
Stone bees have low intelligence, simple minds, and few thoughts, so they can quickly enter a meditative state when cultivating.
Moreover, they are very obedient to the queen bee, Little Stone.
Xiao Shi also possesses extremely high intelligence.
Under Xiao Shi's leadership, the Stone Bee clan persisted in cultivating every day.
Now, looking out from the cliff...
On the cliff, the aura emanating from each stone bee was exceptionally astonishing.
Currently, the Stone Bee clan numbers over 30,000, with the lowest cultivation level being the fourth rank of Spirit Beast.
Most of the stone bees are already fifth-tier spirit beasts.
A fifth-tier spirit beast is equivalent to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
This enormous force belongs solely to Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi.
Several months later.
It flew swiftly from afar.
It landed on the top of the cliff and reported the news to Little Stone.
"Your Majesty, I have news to report!"
Inside the Spicy Palace, two more auras appeared. I recognize these two auras; they should be your bosses, Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shi rolled over and stood up instead of lying down.
It said excitedly:
"Men! Charge with me! It's time to show our boss our true strength!"
Subsequently, Xiao Shi led countless stone bees in a grand procession toward the royal city of Xing Shu Xian Hu.
This aura was so astonishing that it attracted countless demon cultivators from the Star Pivot Immortal Fox Clan to watch.
The demon cultivators thought someone was trying to invade the Star Pivot Immortal Fox Clan.
However, once they realized it was a swarm of stone bees, the foxes scattered.
They all knew these stone bees.
The leader of the stone bees is Little Stone, the head steward of Spicy Palace.
The other stone bees were Little Stone's subordinates.
When Spicy Palace was open, Stone Bee served them food and got their milk tea. The foxes were very familiar with it.
Two days later.
Little Stone, leading 30,000 stone bees, appeared at the entrance of Spicy Palace.
**
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi were originally cultivating.
But suddenly, Song Chen noticed that many high-level cultivators had gathered outside the Spicy Palace.
The spiritual energy emanating from these cultivators seemed to be gathering, suggesting that they were practicing the same cultivation method.
Song Chen was somewhat puzzled and released his divine sense to investigate.
Upon seeing this, Song Chen smiled.
It was Little Stone and Little Bee!
Since Song Chen regained his memories of his past life, he has forgotten about Xiao Shi.
Unexpectedly, after more than a decade, Xiao Shi has become so promising, leading the Stone Bee clan down a different path.
After thinking for a moment, Song Chen's smile deepened. The growth of the Stone Bee clan would help them complete their plan more quickly.
Song Chen whispered in Zhao Ziyi's ear:
“Ziyi, in a few days, let’s go out and see Xiaoshi and Xiaofeng. You haven’t seen them in a long time, have you?”
Zhao Ziyi's eyes were glazed over, and he couldn't hear what Song Chen was saying at all. He fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.
One week later.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi pushed open the door of Spicy Palace.
Immediately afterwards, they were almost blinded by the silvery ocean before them.
Countless enormous stone bees gathered around the Spicy Palace. They were covered in silver wings and silver armor, completely different from their previous grayish-white color.
Among them, a golden stone bee stands out conspicuously in the silvery ocean.
Zhao Ziyi greeted it with delight:
"Little Stone! Little Stone! I miss you so much!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shi immediately raised its head, its eyes filled with tears, and rushed to Zhao Ziyi's side, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Boss Zhao! You've finally remembered me, Xiao Shi!"
Do you know how miserable I was without the Spicy Palace and without spirit stones to count?
I almost thought you didn't want me anymore! We haven't seen each other for fifteen years!
Zhao Ziyi patted its wings and encouraged it:
"You are the queen bee, and you bear a greater responsibility. What is the little Spicy Palace compared to this? You should continue on the path of the clan leader!"
I've seen the results of your hard work; you did a fantastic job!
I now bestow upon you the title of "Queen of the Bees"! All queen bees of all colonies should learn from you!
As Zhao Ziyi spoke, he hastily carved a plaque.
He solemnly handed the plaque to Xiao Shi.
With tears welling up in its eyes, Little Stone felt that its fifteen years of hard work had been worthwhile!
It has once again won Mr. Zhao's approval!
In this world, besides Boss Zhao, who else would give an award to a little bee?
Little Stone is the happiest little bee in the world!
Seeing this, Song Chen's lips twitched. He also needed to learn this skill of managing people. Soon, he would also need the Stone Bee Clan to do something for him.
