Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 122: They actually managed to subdue the bee eggs?

Izari Street.

Glow Cafe.

In the familiar private room, Veronica, the Poison Patriarch who had transformed into a human, was sipping a cappuccino.

Today she changed into a sky-blue silk dress, but the smooth silk couldn't contain her hot and voluptuous figure at all.

That extremely charming and alluring face was filled with contemplation, her innocent, girlish gaze fixed on the horizon outside the window, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Veronica, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons, narrowed her eyes and sensed something. Her flawless face turned completely astonished.

"My bee eggs...have lost contact with me again?"

"But it's only been less than a day and a half!"

pat!

The white porcelain coffee cup in her hand was crushed, but the shards and the scalding coffee inside "collapsed" in an instant, turning into countless tiny bees that burrowed into her snow-white skin.

This was the first time she had ever lost her composure like this. The last time she had lost her composure like this, or rather, the only time she had ever lost her composure was when she witnessed that all nine true gods were false.

You should know that as a physical entity, the bee eggs she planted might disappear after three days, but they never lost contact with her on the second day!
This is simply unheard of!

As a physical being, her strength may be far inferior to that of the "Storyteller" and the "Bard," and certainly not to the strongest being among all physical beings in the universe, but she is comparable to the "Gourmet."

In this situation, even a god could not sever the connection between the bee eggs she planted and the bees the very next day!
"That kid Xia Fa... that kid Xia Fa..."

The Poison Patriarch Veronica bit her cherry lips lightly, repeating the sentence with some annoyance.

But suddenly, she let out a long sigh and shook her head as if she had given up.

"Fine, I admit defeat this time."

As a physical entity, she also has her own rules, but she is far freer than those entities that need to be "unbound".

For example, selecting targets to plant bee eggs is one of her rules.

And her other rule, or rather, the rule that even she herself could not break, was—

"We must not harm the people who have been planted with her bee eggs!"

Whether the bee eggs have just been planted or the poisonous bees have already hatched, she cannot harm them.

This also led Veronica, the Poison Queen, to be extremely cautious when choosing targets to plant her bee eggs on. After all, once the eggs were planted, she would be unable to harm the target, and if the target were to attack her...

But Veronica, the leader of all poisons, never expected that this time, she would be caught off guard and suffer a setback!

"Just what kind of existence is this kid, Xia Fa?"

"He definitely couldn't be a physical being; he didn't even reach the level of a demigod, nor could he be some kind of subordinate god or outer god, but there was that special aura about him..."

The Poison Patriarch Veronica bit her lip and thought for a long time, but finally shook her head and decided to explore it slowly in the future.

But no matter what, she has lost those two bee eggs.

With a flick of her wrist, she produced a long-handled mirror with silver ornaments adorning its edges.

Veronica, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons, looked into the mirror, her long, slender, white fingers gently stroking her smooth, delicate face, as if she were feeling sorry for herself.

Then... she did see the dark circles under her big, watery eyes.

"We've overexploited them; we won't be able to plant any more bee eggs for the next few months..."

……

Daniel Street, in the attic.

Xia Fa sat on the dark red leather sofa, breathing slightly, recovering the strength he had lost from exercising.

At the same time, he was trying to communicate with that faint will, that is, the bee egg.

In any case, now that he has grasped the soul essence of the bee egg and signed a contract with it, the bee egg has become someone whose fate is intertwined with his own.

In other words, bee eggs are absolutely trustworthy and are essentially his "companion" in a certain sense.

Not to mention, these were bee eggs planted by the physical "Poison Patriarch Veronica"!

Since this entity can't harm him anyway, and he can just plunder her bee eggs, so Xiafa isn't too afraid.

What's more, she was the one who first planted bee eggs on herself.

Therefore, Xia Fa has decided to carefully nurture these bee eggs and hatch them!
When he first fell into the cave, he encountered Veronica, the chieftain of all poisonous creatures, who led an army of holy poisonous bees. Xia Fa was deeply impressed by the power of those holy poisonous bees.

Moreover, looking back now, it seems that the weakest of those Holy Poison Bees were all whale-level, and there were even demigods among them.

As for whether there are angels or even higher beings, Xiafa doesn't know, mainly because his memories are too hazy to make a comparison.

If this bee egg of mine could hatch into a demigod-level Holy Poison Bee...

Xia Fa found the thought both exciting and anticipated.

Do you need nutrition? The nutrition of ordinary food or the nutrition of extraordinary food?

Remembering that he still had some roasted mutton left in his stomach that hadn't been fully digested, while the rest had been absorbed through his exercise, Xia Fa immediately continued to communicate with the faint will of the bee egg.

Of course, it's through spiritual intuition.

After a long silence, the bee egg actually responded, also through spiritual intuition.

"I want...I want...wei...super...self..."

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback. What the heck?

He tried to understand it and vaguely grasped the meaning.

"You mean you don't need me to provide you with nourishment, but instead need to devour strange or supernatural creatures?"

Another long silence followed. It seemed that each time the bee egg responded with its spiritual intuition, it was quite exhausting, and it was too weak now to accumulate strength for a long time.

"Yes...yes...thank you..."

Xia Fa chuckled inwardly. This bee egg was clearly still like an unborn baby, yet it already knew how to be polite and even thanked its owner.

He suddenly had a whim and asked a question.

"Are you a male or female bee?"

The bee egg answered quickly this time:
"Male...male..."

Xia Fa breathed a sigh of relief. If it were a female bee living on him like this, it would be inconvenient for him to even take a bath. It's not bad now.

After thinking for a while, he asked again:

"If I find a strange or supernatural creature, how should I give it to you to devour? Should I put it on my left shoulder?"

This time, the bee egg answered even faster, just as Xia Fa had predicted. The bee egg's potential was almost limitless, and even its growth rate was so astonishing.

"I...I can...do it myself..."

Its answer didn't end there; Xia Fa suddenly felt a slight itch on his left shoulder.

A round bead, about the size of a pea, with a smooth, cool jelly-like surface, flew out from his collar, clinging to his left shoulder.

It flew to within about ten centimeters of his face.

Xia Ding looked closely and was somewhat amazed.

It was indeed a bee egg, but it was made of amber, appearing translucent, while the inside was blurry and indistinct.

But that's not the key point. The key point is... these bee eggs are actually covered with rings of secret text!
These cryptic texts are like interlocking rings, seemingly chaotic, yet possessing an indescribable, mystical beauty that foreshadows its future power.

A small portion of the inscriptions came from some mysterious power that even he couldn't understand, but Xia Fa understood that this might be the power of Veronica, the Poison Patriarch, as a physical entity that had inscribed them.

But the other half of the secret text was engraved by a mysterious power formed by the fusion of his own burning sensation and strange electric current.

It is probably because of this that the bee egg submitted to him, recognized him as its master, and no longer needed him to provide nutrients. Instead, it could devour strange or supernatural creatures to grow and hatch.

"Okay, I understand. You can come back now."

Xia Fa discovered that although the bee eggs had great potential, they were currently so fragile that even a needle could pierce them. The thought of that made his heart ache, so he quickly spoke up.

The bee egg was indeed very obedient. It flew to his cheek and rubbed against him affectionately before immediately flying back into his collar and merging back under the skin of his left shoulder.

Xia Fa breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she were seeing her pet cat or dog obediently return home.

However, new problems have arisen.

Pets are pets, but there will always be some secrets that can't be revealed. It's not that I'm worried it will betray me; in fact, it's impossible for it to betray me.
Xia Fa's main fear is that some people will use the bee eggs to explore his secrets through occult methods such as divination, voyeurism, and dream infiltration.

In this situation, the perception that needs to be blocked should still be blocked.

The moment Xia Fa had this thought in his mind, he immediately felt that most of the secret rune rings on the bee egg's body lit up for a moment.

In an instant, he discovered that the bee egg's perception of the outside world was completely restricted, confined to the area of ​​the cryptic ring.

"It's quite convenient..."

Xia Fa's lips curled into a slight smile as he nodded.

As for how to find strange and supernatural creatures next... well, there's no rush, we can just let them hatch slowly.

When I hunt strange creatures and supernatural beings in the future, and take away the most valuable and extraordinary materials, I will feed them to this bee egg.

Xia Fa estimated that since the burning sensation and the mysterious electric current forming the secret ring within his body had completely changed the "essence" of the bee egg, its incubation time would definitely be more than a month. It might take two months, or even three months, and could proceed slowly.

"call--"

Seeing that all the necessary communication had been completed and the bee eggs had fallen into a deep sleep, Xia Fa let out a long sigh of relief and continued to rest on the sofa.

After a while, feeling that his strength had recovered somewhat, he got up and went to the washroom, where he casually conjured a few streams of water and took a shower.

Then, she went to the bedroom to change her clothes and went downstairs.

He was preparing to go out and take a look around, and if all else failed, to ask the Silver Church so that the investigators could come and investigate sooner, allowing him to continue with his own business.

Bang bang bang!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Xia Fa was quite wary and asked in a low voice.

But the next moment, the door was pushed open, and Beneath, a tall and slender doll-like girl in a black dress, walked in.

Xia Fa breathed a sigh of relief. He was so tired after exercising that he had forgotten to sense Benedict's location.

He was about to speak when he saw Benedict Cumberbatch, her small hands on her slender waist, puffing out her cheeks, pretending to be angry as she said:
"Well, you, Xia Fa, you just came back by yourself while you were shopping without even telling me!"

Shafa immediately saw through her act, because Benedict would never get angry over such a trivial matter.

His mind raced, and suddenly he seemed to understand something. He scratched his head and feigned an apologetic smile.

"I was tired from walking around and couldn't find you, so I thought I'd come back by myself first."

No sooner had he said that than he saw two people walk in behind Benedict.

The man on the left is wearing a pure black suit, but his collar bears a silver dragon emblem that breathes fire, clearly indicating that he is an official investigator and a member of the Selenes royal family.

The man on the right, wearing a red cloak and holding a scepter with a small ball floating on it, had an aged but solemn appearance—it was... Tyrean!

Xia Fa was somewhat stunned. The people sent by the Silver Church to investigate his experience were actually their own people.
Then all his previous nervousness was for nothing.

Moreover, the official on the left, I think I've met him before. His name is "Jack". He appeared with Prince Ariman in the entrance passage of the Colosseum at the Fog Carnival.

"Benise is pretty clever. Seeing that I disappeared because I randomly ate a free meal, she pretended to go shopping, creating the illusion that I was also shopping. Then, as soon as she sensed that I was back, she rushed home, only to run into the two people who came to investigate..."

After a moment's thought, Xia Fa understood Benedict's strange behavior and felt quite appreciative of it.

Who would have thought that this silly doll girl, who usually only knows how to eat dried fish, could be so witty!
Xia Fa immediately gave Benedict a look, signaling her to look at the dining table.

Benedict's big eyes darted around and immediately spotted a whole plate of dried gem shark on the table. Her golden-red pupils lit up instantly, and she was overjoyed.

Seeing Benedict Cumberbatch carrying a plate of dried shark fin, she obediently went upstairs.

Xia Fa then looked at Tyrene and Jack, and said very seriously:
"Lord Tyrene, and this gentleman named Jack, are you here to investigate on behalf of the church and the authorities, respectively?"

Jack nodded first, then glanced at Terrein's serious expression before turning back to Shafa with a rather polite smile:
"Viscount Xiafa, don't worry, it's just a formality. We all know you have nothing to do with this incident, not to mention you made such a great contribution. At most, we'll just help you confirm whether you've been targeted by that... um... person."

He seemed to have originally intended to say "that ruler," but for some reason, he changed his words at the last minute.

Tyrene, however, said in an icy tone:
"Your royal family can follow the procedures as you see fit, I won't interfere. But our Silver Church will strictly enforce the investigation procedures, and there can be no mistakes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up something that looked like a miniature telegraph machine from his clothes and pressed a button on it.

With a click, a blue-white current surged through the miniature telegraph machine, seemingly shutting it off.

"Alright, the formalities are done. Xia Fa, it's the same for me. Just go through the motions. I personally recruited you into the Silver Church. Do you think I don't know if you have any problems?"

Tyrene spoke with a slight smile, it was unclear whether it was because he had successfully dealt with his superior or because he was facing Xia Fa.

Xia Fa breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Tyrene's attitude just now almost startled him.

After all, given his relationship with Tyrene, if the church specifically sent Tyrene to investigate with such a severe attitude, it meant that this matter was truly serious.

This is tantamount to a direct warning to Tyrene not to abuse his power and to cut off any possibility of Tyrene helping him through the church.

Fortunately, that's not the case.

Next, the investigation process begins.

Both of them asked Xia Fa some questions, but the questions were roughly the same, basically about whether he had any strange feelings or saw any suspicious phenomena after entering that desert world.

And, most importantly, everything that happened after those nostrils that stretched across the sky emerged.

This question was particularly detailed; they almost asked how much sand Xiafa had seen fly into that huge nostril.

The investigation took a full half hour to conclude.

Jack extended his hand first and shook hands with Xia Fa:

“Viscount Shafa, we met before at the Fog Carnival. Of course, you recognized me as well, calling out my name right away. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Jack de Selenes, and I am currently in charge of the natural forests and marine resources of the Kingdom of Augu.”

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised; he hadn't realized this person was such an important figure.

Tyrene stared intently at Shafa for a long while, even waving a white crystal around him before finally seeming to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Very good, your soul has been almost repaired, Shafa..."

His tone suddenly became extremely stern, and his face was as if covered with a layer of frost:
"...No matter what, you need to think more about yourself. You can't risk damaging your soul like this again next time."

Although Tyrene's expression was serious, a warm feeling welled up in Shafa's heart. He knew that Tyrene cared about him, just like when Tyrene had sent him the Dream Ghost Core as quickly as possible before.

“Yes, I understand, Lord Tyrene.”

Xia Fa lowered his head and spoke softly, as if he knew he was wrong and would correct it.

Tyrene sighed, because based on his experience in judging people, he knew that Shafa's current behavior only proved that he had no intention of changing:

"Forget it, the Fog Carnival only happens once every five years anyway, and the next carnival won't be the God's Land in the Desert, so you won't have another chance to make the same mistake."

Xia Fa looked up and smiled sheepishly.

Just then, Tyrean exchanged a glance with Jack, and then pulled out a rectangular certificate from his pocket.

It was a platinum certificate with Xia Fa's photo and name in the upper left corner, and his information and a serial number on the right.

At the very top of the certificate is a line of text.

Hunting permit for the Mist God Hunting Grounds.

"What is this...?" Xia Fa asked curiously.

Jack smiled:
"As you know, with Princess Victoria's victory in the demigod region of the desert, we now possess a vast hunting ground spanning ten million acres west of Augustus City, however..."

He sighed slightly:
"The Fog People obviously didn't expect us to provide this large hunting ground for refugees. They thought it was for nobles, so there are quite a few supernatural creatures in the hunting ground now."

Xia Fa understood:
"So, the superhumans need to hunt down the supernatural creatures first before the refugees can move in?"

Jack smiled:
“Brilliant! That’s it. There were only one hundred hunting licenses in the first batch of the Mist God Hunting Grounds. Many people were scrambling for them, but Lord Tyrene spoke up and asked me to issue one for you. You will own all the supernatural creatures you hunt there. Our royal family and other nobles will also buy them at high prices. It’s up to you whether you sell it or not.”

Xia Fa was overjoyed; this was great news!

He was short of money, and he also needed to hunt strange or supernatural creatures to feed his bee eggs.

This is like a pillow delivered just when you're about to fall asleep!

Not to mention, he can also greatly advance his understanding by hunting supernatural creatures and constantly using the various secret abilities of the Silver Throne!

This way, he can not only continue to master the remaining five secret abilities of the Silver Throne, but also sign the overlord-level secret agreement of the Gate of Stars earlier!

Xia Fa grew increasingly excited and even impatient as he thought about it.

"Can we go to the Mist God Hunting Grounds now?"
