Chapter 313: 8.40 First Blue Star - Inside the Queen Chamber.

Bee Zergs' Beehive Entrance.

The first floor of the hive is now piling up of cut limbs and green blood of low-level zergs. Han Ling and Qu Yul were also covered with the blood of their enemies but they didn't care. They just had to do their task. No one knew how many they had killed but the small hills surrounding them are enough proof of their hard work. They've been fighting nonstop for half an hour parrying all attacks coming from all angles. Their KP team points were increasing every second.

At the entrance of the beehive.

Han Ling and Qu Yul were a bit out of breath but their fighting stance had never relaxed since they started fighting. They've suddenly heard the queue they've been waiting for Lin Yven. As soon as he suddenly appeared by the entrance with Si Shen and Wu Liu who removed their invisibility, Han Ling and Qu Yul knew that they must do the second phase of their tasks and that's to lure away middle-level zergs out of the beehive.

Lin Yven said while waving his hands,

"I made sure to bomb the chambers where the mid-level zergs live on my way back."

"Did you get everything back?"

asked Si Shen.

Lin Yven replied,

"Un. I took everything and left nothing."

Wu Liu asked,

"Is it fun inside?"

"Not really. The bugs inside are more hideous than the ones here,"

answered Lin Yven which made Wu Liu's face ugly.

Wu Liu,

"Then I don't want to look inside anymore."

While they were talking huge sounds made by zergs can be heard coming over in their direction. Hearing this made Lin Yven smile as he successfully angered the mid-level zergs.

KKRRRIIEEK KREEK KKRRRIIEEK KREEK KKRRRIIEEK CREEK

Lin Yven murmured,

"They are here. A'Shen, Xiao Liu prepare to run."

"Whoa~ that's a lot,"

said Si Shen.

Wu Liu,

"Urrg~ they look more disgusting when they are cramped together like that."

BOOM!

Lin Yven holding a small size bomb in his hand threw it towards the incoming zerg herds and ran away. He runs towards the only entrance of the hive while dragging Si Shen and Wu Liu with him. Seeing this Han Ling and Qu Yul wanted to know why they ran without calling them.

Han Ling,

"Hey! Where are you guys going?"

"Behind. Look behind you, idiot!"

shouted Si Shen while running away with the other two.

BOOOOMMM KRRRRIIEEEK!!! BOOOOM KRRRRIEEEEKKK~~~

Qu Yul and Han Ling followed what they were told to do and when they turned around they saw mid-sized zergs coming towards them. Some had missing parts from the small bomb Lin Yven thrown at it. Seeing these many twice their size zergs their faces could help but turn pale.

Han Ling,

"T-That's a lot~"

Throwing some bombs at the herd to slow down the zergs,

"Start running!"

said Qu Yul as he ran away to the direction their partners and teammates had run to.

As they expected most of the remaining alive low-level zergs and mid-level zergs had flown out of the beehive catching after their team. Lin Yven was watching the feed of the entrance of the beehive and only decided to detonate it the moment all of the low and mid-level zergs had come out.

The small group of five were still running but they were also watching the scene at the entrance of the beehive.

Si Shen,

"Almost all of the low to mid-level zergs are coming out."

"This is good. We need to detonate the bomb at the entrance at the right moment,"

said Lin Yven.

Wu Liu asked,

"Would Vega and the seniors be okay inside the hive? How can they get out if we block the only entrance."

"Liu'er, don't worry. The leader (Feng Jing) is with them,"

said Qu Yul.

Han Ling said with a huge smile on his face.

"They would be alright. I mean they are safer than us who are currently running away from our lives. Hahaha~"

Hearing the silly comment from the silliest person in their team, everyone couldn't help but laugh even at their current situation.

Hahahaha~

Qu Yul spoke,

"Okay enough playing. Let's finish our task first. Afterward, we still need to prepare dinner for when the rest return home."

Han Ling said,

"Hahaha~ that is also true."

"I'm hungry~,"

said Wu Liu.

Lin Yven,

"Now that you said it, me too. That warehouse is too large. I had to run around to get everything."

"It's almost sunset. Let's bring the targets to the bombed area and finish with this,"

said Si Shen.

"Let's go!"

The second phase of their task is to lure out all the low and mid-level zergs outside of the hive and bring everything to the area where they've planted numerous explosives made by Solaris Vega. Once they've entered the bombed area they would use a teleport stone to a high area where they could observe everything from the land full of explosives. The zergs who run after them would be bombed until nothing is left but just in case there are remnants they were tasked to kill them off as well. After finis.h.i.+ng this task, their group would return to their hidden camp and wait for the rest to return.

Back to the Beehive Zerg's nest.

The entrance is now blocked by some destroyed part of the hive itself. Now the interior was empty with living creatures and mostly carca.s.ses and green blood were scattered all over the place. Except for the chambers where the Queen Bee Zerg and Guardians live the rest of the bee zergs were lured out.

By the way, except for the personally made program of Feng Jing, most monitoring gadgets from the other side are blocked by the beehive protective barrier. The only gadgets controlled within the planet could see through the barriers of each habitat within Planet Citlali. From a dome-like place like a hive, it is even harder to broadcast the event. This is why no one could see what was happening inside the beehive.

At the Queen Bee Zerg's chambers.

Feng Jing nonchalantly opened the door to the chamber. His actions to those who ordinary people might look lethargic yet elegant and full of confidence but only those who had experienced blood and war would notice that the presence he emits itself isn't only made by his appearance alone. His aura says everything about him. Cold, indifferent, strong, and even cruel. An apathetic being that looks down on everything beneath him and his gaze would never land on something that will never amuse him.

Yes, like a block of eternal ice. Cold and serene. Beautiful yet cruel. untainted yet ruthless.

Feng Jing walks gracefully inside the chamber, his eyes only needing to look around once for him to understand what happened in the area. His phoenix-shaped crimson eye glows brightly in darkness as if nothing could escape his sight. He suddenly stopped walking and stood right to where he had halted his steps. He brought out wipes from his inventory and cleaned up his hands as if signifying that he finished his battles.

"If you are here then please don't play around anymore~ you called me here on purpose after all~,"

said Feng Jing in the empty chamber as if talking to someone.

No one answered him nor could he hear any sounds of footsteps but suddenly he was hugged from behind and was lifted under his armpit like a child. On his face are a pout and adorable expression he only shows towards his elders and family members. And in front of him a beautiful middle-aged man who looks from the same generation as his grandfather was looking at him with those doting emerald irises.

This person's hair is azure in color, the same shade of blue of a clear sky. His eyes were green yet like a polished emerald gem. His features were not otherworldly like Feng Jing but enough to contend with the appearance of mermaids in the legends. At this moment he is looking at Feng Jing's eyes full of love for his grandchild.

Feng Jing pouting,

"Please put me down. Xiao Jing is already 18 years old!"

The peals of laughter come out from the man with emerald eyes. He change his way of carrying Feng Jing and placed his hands under his knees as if he is carrying a child.

"HAHAHA~ so our Xiao Jing is now 18. Our darling grows up too fast. The last time this old man had seen my darling you were only 8 years old."

said the man with emerald eyes.

Feng Jing replied,

"Of course! The last time Grandpa Celes saw Xiao Jing was ten years ago!"

The man with long azure hair color and emerald eyes is named Alula Celeste. Grandpa Celes for short. He is the childhood friend of Grandpa Feng and Grandpa Xia at the same time he is the deceased partner of Marshal Ja.n.u.s Stellan. But in the records of the Interstellar Federation, he is a martyr that had died a decade ago. This person used to be the first guide to become a Marshal. It was said he is the first SSS-ranked Guide in the history of the Oberion Empire.

He also comes from the clan whose special ability is to merge his body with his quantum beast. His quantum beast is a blue morpho b.u.t.terfly. Which is known all to be the most beautiful b.u.t.terfly, and that's because of its bright blue color on the upper side of its wings. This shade of blue looks like it's glowing under the light. The underside of the blue morpho's wings looks different with a brown color and eyespots.

When he combines himself with this blue b.u.t.terfly, a pair of huge light blue b.u.t.terfly wings appear on his back paired with his azure hair and emerald eyes, he looks like a celestial fairy. Inhuman yet extremely beautiful.

Alula Celeste mumbled,

"That's right. It's been a decade. Is your Grandpa Lan alright?"

"It's been a while since Xiao Jing visited Grandpa Lan. Big Yeye says Xiao Jing cannot visit him anymore because the bad guys' eyes were watching Grandpa Lan,"

said Feng Jing.

A frown appeared on Alula Celeste's face as if understanding the real meaning of the child's spoken words.

Alula Celeste said,

"Those old men from the federations don't even know that there is a spy within their ranks! So useless as always."

"Grandpa Celes, when are you going to come home? Xiao Jing and everyone misses you a lot~"

said Feng Jing.

A gentle smile appeared on Alula Celeste's face, he used his other hand to pat Feng Jing's head lovingly.

"Soon, child. Grandpa will quickly finish his undercover job and go home,"

said Alula Celeste.

Feng Jing said,

"Grandpa Celes should go home as fast as you can. Grandpa Lan started targeting even those in the younger generations just to take full control of the Federation. Grandpa Lan is no longer on the advice of Big Yeye and Xiao Yeye and even sent a.s.sa.s.sins to kill my Sentinel!"

His words were full of complaints but all were told straight to the point.

"Is this true? Your Grandpa Lan is even harming children just to take over the Federation! Moreover, darling, you have a chosen mate already? Did your grandpas approve of it?"

asked Alula Celeste.

Feng Jing cutely nodded his head.

"Yes. Big Yeye, Xiao Yeye, and Grandpa Astra agreed. I haven't visited Grandpa Lan yet but Xiao Jing doesn't think he likes my sentinel. After all, Grandpa Lan tried to kill my Sirius."

With a startled look on his face, Alula Celeste looks at the young boy in his arms in shock,

"Sirius. You don't mean to say that your chosen mate is Altair Sirius!?"

"Yes! That's his name but Sirius always told me to call him husband instead. I haven't called him that since we aren't married yet. But Sirius said we would be married soon, after all, we are a fated pair."

said Feng Jing.

Alula Celeste was finally rendered speechless. He was shocked enough to know that his darling had finally awakened as a guide and suddenly got a mate. But this mate of his is not a simple figure. Marshal Sirius, the youngest Marshal who had been promoted to the Marshal position even before the age of 30.
