“What I want is simple. That even an issue arises between Lian Hong and the Lian Family and things get ugly, that we will be able to leave this place safely.” Sima You Yue laid out her request.

Elders Black and White never thought that Sima You Yue’s request would be that simple. They had thought that she would have far greater demands than this.

“That’s your request?” Elder White asked.

“That’s right. Sima You Yue smiled, saying. “As long as you can guarantee our safety, I will bring out my flame and my bee.”

“Alright. It’s a promise, then! So let us see that flame!”

Sima You Yue’s fingers twitched, and a flame appeared at the tip of her fingers. Although it was just a little, it raised the surrounding temperatures considerably.

“This temperature is even higher than that of the Divine Flame that we encountered previously.” Elder Bai cried out in surprise. “It wasn’t this hot just now, right?”

Sima You Yue’s right hand opened, and a ball of flames appeared in her palms. As her hands came together, the flames joined together, and the temperatures fell again.

“The flames melded together?” Elder Black looked curiously at the flame in Sima You Yue’s hand, and was so excited that his entire body began to shake. “How could this be?”

“It’s simple! All these are my flames, and they are the same kind. That’s why the flames do not explode when they meet.” Sima You Yue explained.

“These flames are yours?” Elder Bai asked.

“Well, my contract Beasts’, but you could say they’re mine.” Sima You Yue waved her wrists, and the flames disappeared.

“Aiya, that’s all?”

“You said you wanted ONE look. Wasn’t that enough?” Sima You Yue looked at him, annoyed.

“Tsk.”

“What about the bee?” Elder Black asked.

Sima You Yue called forth a bee. As he saw it, Elder Black’s eyes shone and he said excitedly “Is this the legendary Scarlet Bee?”

“That’s right.” Sima You Yue said.

“Where did you get this?”

“From the Continent below, where we came from.” Sima You Yue replied.

“The Continent below?” Elders Black and White were shocked. The Scarlet Bees had gone extinct where they were, but there were still some in the lower continents? But what they were unaware of was that there were many others who had Scarlet Bees as well, it was just that they were becoming fewer in number.

“Heihei, Little Doll, if you have so many Scarlet Bees, do you also have Scarlet Honey?” Elder White smiled and said. “If you do, I’m willing to exchange a treasure for it.”

“You want Scarlet Honey?” Sima You Yue looked at the pair, and she calculated it within her heart. “I do have some Scarlet Honey. You guys are elders of the Lian family, and we are friends with Lian Hong. If Lian Hong becomes a member of the family, then you guys would be the elders of my friend. In that case, I would gift it to you, instead of transacting with you. But… If we happen to become enemies, I will definitely not give such a thing to my enemies, right?”

“You little sneak. Aren’t you just saying that you wish for Lian Hong to return to the Lian family?” Elder White looked at Sima You Yue and said, “You wait here.” With that, he disappeared.

“Where has Elder White gone?”

“To the Main Hall.” Elder Black understood this man, and said affirmatively.

Very soon, Elder White returned and said excitedly, “It’s done! Now, Lian Hong is in the Lian family, tomorrow they will write his name into the family register.” Sima You Yue was speechless. Elder White was indeed fast!

“No one had any objections?” In such a huge family, how could it be that not a single person objected?

“What is the use? As long as Elder Black and I say so, they can’t do anything except our will.” Elder White said proudly.

“So you guys are that high ranking! Or are you very high up in the hierarchy?” Sima You Yue wanted to test the waters with these guys. It was unbelievable that these two men had such power over the entire clan’s decisions.

“We are the Clan Leader’s Grandfather and Third Granduncle, so they naturally have to listen to whatever we say.” Elder White said. “You see, we’ve already settled the thing with Lian Hong. So…”

Sima You Yue took out a ten centimeter tall jade bottle and said, “There is Scarlet Honey right here.”

Elder White and Elder Black opened the bottle stopper, and allowed the scent of the honey to waft out. Elder White exclaimed excitedly, “This is that smell! I never thought that we would ever get to smell Scarlet Honey in our lives, given our age!”

“That’s right! I have really missed it!”

Hearing what they said, Sima You Yue was curious, and asked, “Have you ever come across Scarlet Bees before?”

Elder Black capped the bottle and with a melancholic look on his face, reminisced “Back then, Elder White and I had gone to a Little Realm, and we encountered a group of Scarlet Bees there. There, we managed to obtain some Scarlet Honey.”

“But unfortunately, we did not manage to bring out a single Scarlet Bee. Back then, we were too young to have known the value of Scarlet Bees. If not, despite the danger, we would have gone and brought some back out.” Elder White continued.

“Little Doll, how many Scarlet Bees do you have?”

Seeing their faces, Sima You Yue said, “Just a few.”

“We will exchange it for treasure, how about that?” Elder White said. “As long as we can give it to you, as long as you ask for it, we will give that up in exchange.”

What—

Seeing their earnest expressions, and thinking that the Lian family must have a lot of treasures, she thought that it might be good to take advantage of that situation and get a considerable sum from them. But as she thought about Lian Hong, her heart softened and she replied, “Since you are aware of the value of Scarlet Bees, I will not say much. As long as you can give me something of equal worth. Pills, armament, arrays or beasts – anything is fine.”

Elder Black contemplated for a moment and proceeded to bring out two boxes – one big and one small. Sima You Yue opened the boxes and saw that they contained materials for armament. Seeing that it was kept so preciously, she thought that it must have been of high value. In the big box, was a bunch of medical ingredients, and a ten-thousand year old ice ginseng.

Elder White saw what Elder Black had offered, and also brought out two items. One was a lightning attribute skill, and another was an ancient recipe for alchemy.

Seeing the lighting attribute skill, Sima You Yue’s eyes shone. The other three she could do without, but she needed this Lighting Attribute skill urgently. Within her there was now a considerable amount of lightning spirit strength, but she never had the ways to train that skill, and was unable to showcase that aspect of her powers.

With the lightning attribute, she would have one more weapon available for battle. Also, this would be her foundational skill. Adding that on to her lightning attributes, she would be formidable!

“What do you think of these?” Elder Black asked.

“Not bad.” Sima You Yue took the items, and called out a hundred Scarlet Bees. Elders White and Black were surprised at the number of scarlet bees.

They had thought that getting ten, or twenty scarlet bees would be enough, but they never thought that Sima You Yue would be this generous to give them this much more than they had expected.

“Haha! From now on, you are our friend. When we have grown these scarlet bees, you must join us for a drink!” Elder White smiled.

Sima You Yue simply smiled – going drinking with THEM?
