Chapter 530: Greetings, Chief Guard; What a Coincidence

At that moment, an idea suddenly sprang into Liu Jie’s head.

“Can it be that the Chief Guard is waiting for me here?”

However, he cast this idea aside as soon as he thought of it.

Given the current active period of this dimensional rift, the Chief Guard would have to deal with many things every day. How would she have been able to make time to wait for him?

Just as Liu Jie looked at the black-robed, black-veiled Chief Guard, she seemed to sense his gaze and turned her head to look toward him.

Despite the vast distance between them, Liu Jie still saw the Chief Guard’s pitch-black eyes the moment she turned around.

Under the gaze of that pair of pitch-black eyes, Liu Jie suddenly felt a trace of indescribable pressure.

He was like a fish leaving the water under a final endless, starless night that felt like it would be sealed off by the endless night, doomed to sink forever.

At that moment, Liu Jie stepped onto the rope bridge and walked across it to the other side.

The Chief Guard stared at him unyieldingly, which filled him with a strange feeling.

However, he also had no idea what to do. He had no choice but to move forward one step at a time.

The more he walked, the more misgivings surfaced in his heart.

There was no one on the bridge but Liu Jie, and the Chief Guard kept looking in his direction without shifting from her position.

It really looked like she was specifically there to wait for him.

Liu Jie quickened his pace and walked until he was beside the Chief Guard.

After thinking for so long, he still did not know what to say to her.

Finally, he only said respectfully, “Greetings, Chief Guard. What a coincidence.”

Upon hearing Liu Jie’s words, Night Leaning Moon turned her body to make room for him.

She signaled for him to come forward and walk shoulder to shoulder with her.

Immediately after, Liu Jie heard an unusual sound that was steady yet sweet as a singing yellow oriole.

Upon hearing this sound, he inexplicably thought of the sound that Chimey made when it was calling out.

Because of Bai Hao, Liu Jie had also heard Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess, Star Web’s beautiful host, sing a few times before.

Previously, Liu Jie had only sighed at how Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess’ singing voice was so pleasant that it could actually be compared to that of an avian fey.

However, Liu Jie suddenly had an idea. What if the beautiful Star Web live streamer was the Spirit Guards’ Chief Guard?

He immediately cast this idea aside as soon as he came up with it.

Liu Jie thought in his heart about the absurdity of this notion. Could the influence of the mental poison in the dimensional rift have messed with his head?

Nevertheless, upon hearing the Chief Guard’s words, Liu Jie’s expression transformed immediately.

He looked both shocked and solemn.

“It was not a coincidence. I intended to come here to wait for you.

“Am I right to say that your Insect Queen has not woken up from its state of mutation?

“The Insect Queen’s body should have absorbed most of the Blade Queen Bee’s natal poison within the natal poison core.”

Back in the evolving dimensional rift, Liu Jie had been tortured by the purplish-gray mental poison.

Even after receiving Lin Yuan’s healing and the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia’s baptism, only his physical body had been healed.

If not for the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus flower paste that Lin Yuan had given him, it was very likely that Liu Jie would have woken up a few days later.

Moreover, Liu Jie had still slept for a full five days and had woken up only two days earlier than Lin Yuan.

Upon awakening, Liu Jie had found himself lying in his own room in the mansion.

According to Wen Yu, it had been Uncle Mystic who had brought him there.

Now, the Chief Guard not only knew about his Insect Queen’s condition, but it was also in such great detail.

This meant that when he had been in a coma after being spat out of the dimensional rift, the Chief Guard must have been there to have personally checked the Insect Queen’s condition.

Upon hearing the Chief Guard mention the Insect Queen, Liu Jie thought about when he had sensed the Insect Queen’s condition himself.

In the process of evolutionary mutation, the Insect Queen had been in an awkward state where it could neither advance nor retreat.

Now that the Chief Guard had mentioned the Blade Queen Bee’s natal poison, Liu Jie finally knew what the gray-haired, gray-eyed man had launched at him in the dimensional rift.

The Insect Queen had absorbed this poison in order to mutate.

However, because there had not been enough poison in the natal poison core, the Insect Queen had been unable to absorb the amount needed to complete its mutation.

The poison had also fused into the Insect Queen’s genetic model during the mutation process.

Now, as the Insect Queen had been suspended in the mutation process for a long time, it was very possible that the absorbed natal poison would attack the Insect Queen’s body.

If that happened, the poison engraved in the Insect Queen’s genetic model would explode in its body.

The Insect Queen’s spiritual energy would be severely damaged by the Blade Queen Bee’s mental poison.

It might even die under the poison’s attack.

Most people would not easily discuss private issues like the condition of their feys with others.

However, since the Chief Guard had asked, Liu Jie did not hold back when he told her about the Insect Queen’s current condition.

As he spoke, his feet traversed the rope bridge and stepped onto the Spirit Guards’ land.

They continued walking toward the study where Night Leaning Moon always stayed.

After understanding the Insect Queen’s condition, Night Leaning Moon said, “The Insect Queen only needs to absorb more of the Blade Queen Bee’s natal poison from its poison core in order to complete its mutation.”

Upon hearing this, a bitter smile revealed itself on Liu Jie’s face.

Carcinoma feys were rare on this continent. Moreover, he needed to find a particular carcinoma fey.

This was simply an impossible task.

At that moment, Night Leaning Moon added unhurriedly, “When you said ‘what a coincidence’ just now, you weren’t wrong.

“Amongst the carcinoma feys kept in the Spirit Guards’ headquarters, there happens to be one Blade Queen Bee.”

As she spoke, Night Leaning Moon was already sitting at the desk in her study where she usually read the secret letters sent by her Guard Envoys.

Liu Jie was pleasantly surprised by her words.

Deeply concerned about the Insect Queen, Liu Jie had forgotten that the Spirit Guards and Guard Envoys took in carcinoma feys found throughout the Radiance Federation and high-grade feys that had committed evil, keeping them on this land.

The Spirit Guards were in charge of the world’s feys.

Based on the Chief Guard’s words, it seemed that he could extract the natal poison core from the Blade Queen Bee’s body and give it to the Insect Queen.
