The core of the hive.
Qin Wudao's voice echoed through the empty chamber, tinged with a hint of urgency and an unshakeable arrogance.
Under the Queen Bee's frenzied attacks, he had been forced to propose a partnership with Gu Yuexi.
He had originally worried that, with her self-perceived cold and aloof personality, she would refuse.
But…
This time, Gu Yuexi's expression was as placid as an old well as she uttered a single word:
"Alright."
'So decisive?'
Qin Wudao, who was frantically dodging attacks, couldn't help but freeze for a moment upon hearing her. His footwork slowed by half a beat, and one of the Queen Bee's appendages nearly took off half his head.
An inexplicable, strange feeling welled up inside him.
'Could it be...'
'Could it be that she's finally recognized my strength?'
'Or perhaps, has she finally seen how dangerous it is inside this hive and realized that she can only survive by depending on a powerhouse like me?'
'Yes! That must be it!'
