"!!!"
The sudden change instantly terrified the two monsters.
The Demon Tiger had been defeated.
But this didn't reassure the Beetle; instead, it made it even more vigilant.
"Good combat awareness."
"You must have gone through many brutal battles before, haven't you?"
Ice Emperor descended from the sky, her pristine jade feet treading upon the sea of flowers, then she walked step by step towards the Beetle and the Bee.
"Squeak!"
The Beetle felt the terrifying aura emanating from Ice Emperor.
It immediately shielded the Bee, continuously emitting insect chirps, seemingly urging the Bee to escape quickly.
"Buzz buzz~~"
Unfortunately, the Bee was unwilling to leave.
It also sensed Ice Emperor's formidable power.
If she wanted to harm them, they would have no means of resistance.
Therefore, it would not abandon its companion and flee.
"Quite the deep affection."
Ice Emperor interrupted their communication and said, "I forgot to mention, I can understand your language."
"You are from the Insect Demon Race, aren't you?"
"What a coincidence, I am also from the Insect Demon Race."
Ice Emperor's racial classification in the Cardinal World was Insect Demon Race.
And the two little fellows before her were also from the Insect Demon Race.
Ice Emperor didn't know what the situation of the Insect Demon Race was like in the Cardinal World.
But since she encountered them, there was no reason to let them slip away.
One must know that when Ice Emperor was on the Douluo Continent, she had an incredibly vast Ice Jade Scorpion tribe under her command.
Ice Jade Scorpions were gregarious creatures and quite united.
Unfortunately, the spatial passage on the Douluo Continent was sealed off by that side.
Otherwise, Ice Emperor truly wished she could bring her kin over to escape the shackles of that place.
'Although there are no Ice Jade Scorpions, they seem pretty good too.'
Ice Emperor thought of the Beetle's action of desperately protecting the Bee even in the face of danger.
It was a very principled fellow, which Ice Emperor quite admired.
The little Bee was also good.
It didn't abandon its companion, preferring to die with it rather than live alone.
"Just right, I need two subordinates to help me with work."
Zhu Cai and Shion all had subordinates, which made Ice Emperor envious for a long time.
Now it's good.
By bringing these two fellows back, Ice Emperor could establish her own force.
(aeae) "How about it?"
"Do you want to come with me?"
Ice Emperor reined in her beastly aura. She came before the Beetle and the Bee, then cast healing magic to restore their injuries.
"Is that really possible?"
The Beetle was a little worried, but more than that, it was joyful.
At first, the Beetle thought Ice Emperor was a powerful individual sent by the Insect Demon Race to completely eradicate them.
But no matter how it recalled, it couldn't remember anyone named Ice Emperor in the Insect Demon Race.
Therefore, the other party was not an enemy, but an Insect Demon Race born in the material world!
"Although I don't know what you are guarding against."
"But I truly have no ill intentions."
Ice Emperor greeted the two little fellows, preparing to take them back to the town and then introduce them to Bai Luo.
She wasn't worried that Bai Luo would refuse.
The more monsters there were, the more magic essence Bai Luo would have.
So as long as they were genuinely submissive monsters, Bai Luo would welcome them all.
As for letting them be Ice Emperor's subordinates...
Ice Emperor was willing to manage things, Bai Luo would be overjoyed, how could he refuse?
"A monster town?"
"Can we really join?"
The Beetle and the Bee were a bit uneasy, afraid they would be bullied among the monsters.
But thinking of a monster gathering place, they felt a longing.
Expelled from the world where the Insect Demon Race lived, stripped of their power, they relied on each other and struggled to survive.
If possible, they no longer wanted to live such a wandering life.
"Don't worry, they are all good guys."
Ice Emperor had quite a high opinion of the monsters.
Everyone worked hard, and the town's development was thriving, completely devoid of human scheming.
Anyway, Ice Emperor really liked this world, and she liked everyone from the Ogre Race and the Werewolf Race.
Compared to this place, life in the Northern Icefield was utterly boring.
"Speaking of which, are you underestimating me too much?"
Ice Emperor patted her chest and guaranteed, "With me here, who would dare to bully you?!"
"Oh oh oh~~" x2
Seeing Ice Emperor so confident, the Beetle and the Bee's eyes immediately lit up.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, their favorability towards Ice Emperor surged significantly.
First, she saved them from the claws of the Demon Tiger.
Now, she was taking such good care of them.
This kindness truly moved the two little fellows to tears, making them wish they could kowtow to her on the spot.
"Big Sister's kindness, we will engrave it in our hearts!"
"Don't call me Big Sister."
Ice Emperor disliked the title of Big Sister, because Shion loved to call herself that: "Just call me Ice Emperor."
"Okay, Ice Emperor-sama!" x2
"Hmph hmph!"
After a quick outing, she gained two excellent subordinates, and Ice Emperor's mood was exceptionally delightful.
She did want to take them directly to see Bai Luo.
However, Bai Luo was resting, so it was not good to disturb him.
Thus, Ice Emperor found the Ogre Race leader, Red King, hoping he could arrange lodging for the two little fellows.
"Oh, they are subordinates newly subdued by Ice Emperor-sama."
Red King observed the Beetle and the Bee. He squatted down and asked gently, "Do you have any requirements for your living environment?"
"Squeak squeak squeak."
"Buzz buzz buzz."
The two little ones were flattered, waving their insect legs repeatedly to express their thoughts.
"They prefer to live in areas close to the forest."
Ice Emperor translated for them, "Preferably a place with many flowers. It says it's good at making honey and can offer it as compensation for being taken in, as a tribute to Bai Luo."
"You can even make honey, that's quite capable of you."
In that case, she had also made a certain contribution, hadn't she?
Ice Emperor wasn't the type to freeload.
She would occasionally go to the farmland to help Egui Peng plant crops.
When she had free time, she often hunted monsters in the forest.
But compared to these, it was indeed a distinctive industry like honey that gave Ice Emperor a greater sense of accomplishment.
"A monster that can make honey?"
Red King was a bit surprised. He thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then live on the east side of the town. There's a large fruit orchard there."
Fruit trees need pollination to bear fruit.
The Bee could use this to collect enough pollen and make honey.
"They say that's fine."
"That's good then."
After all, they were brought by Ice Emperor herself, so Red King would certainly treat them seriously.
As for Bai Luo, he was truly busy right now, busy dealing with the passionate Shion and the shy and lovely Zhu Cai.
