Chapter 175: Division (5)
Bzzz. Bzzzz.
The buzzing of the Golden-Furred Wasp Kings filled the air above me, their movements lively and incessant.
Until yesterday, they had been busy inside their new hive, constructing wax chambers. But today, it seemed they were finally heading out in earnest to collect nectar.
Some flew toward Tang Mountain, while others flitted between the large lotus flowers blooming in the pond.
Weeeeeng. Weeeeng.
"Alright, keep up the good work."
A few of them seemed to have spotted me sitting in the pavilion by the pond and buzzed over to greet me.
I waved at them in response, and they flapped their wings excitedly before veering off toward the mountains.
While a bee’s buzzing always sounds the same, today their hum seemed especially cheerful—as if they were truly pleased with their new home.
I had checked inside the pavilion yesterday to see how their hive-building was going, and the moment I entered, they had swarmed me in gratitude.
They had all been eager to exchange nutrients with me as a show of appreciation, which had been... a challenge to decline.
The pavilion was five stories tall, spacious, and well-ventilated—compared to their old tree, it was practically a luxury estate.
