Chapter 522: Chapter 522

Qiao’s face showed confusion, deep confusion.

Black Cocoon squinted his eyes, smelling his own scent, "I was thinking, I don’t have any strange smell...right?"

Su Wei was equally puzzled, not knowing why these two Light-Eating Bees were so wary of his grandson.

Qiao’s brow furrowed, raising his tail and pointing at Black Cocoon, asking Su Wei, "Who is he?"

"This is my other guest, we generally call him ’Black Cocoon’," Su Wei replied.

Qiao stared unmoving at Black Cocoon, their eyes met. After a while, he murmured:

"Very strange... Not like a human, no... It’s an existence I can’t comprehend, could it be... a higher existence than the Light-Eating Bees? But that’s impossible."

"What do you mean by that?" Su Wei raised his head, asking in confusion.

He didn’t expect the Bee Prince would make such an evaluation of his grandson; it was simply unbelievable.

"Forget it, no matter..."

Qiao withdrew his gaze from Black Cocoon expressionlessly.

He turned to Su Wei, "Indeed, it’s my fault for being presumptuous. I didn’t mention beforehand that I would bring another person here, so it’s natural for you to feel vigilant."

As the words fell, Qiao gradually restrained his killing intent, and the tense air suddenly became clear. Light and graceful jazz music wrapped around everyone’s ears.

Oh, are you really that reasonable? Black Cocoon was taken aback, couldn’t help scratching his chin, thinking it seems the Light-Eating Bees aren’t as brutal as I imagined.

Cameron blinked her narrow eyes, her eyelashes fluttering, only then realizing belatedly that there wouldn’t be a fight. Even if she wanted to fight, Qiao would stop her.

So she found a corner to squat down, drawing circles with her paws while sighing.

"Boring, if there’s no fight, I’ll go back to sleep." She propped her chin, complaining grudgingly, "Since you just don’t want anyone to know where you were going, you don’t need me on the way back, right? Just fly back to the island."

"No... you wait outside for me," Qiao said without doubt, "Don’t go too far."

"Alright, I can find some joy on the way." Cameron licked her lips and got up to walk out of the bookstore.

Qiao was silent for a moment, lifting his tail, and only then did Su Wei and Black Cocoon see three heavy books hooked onto it.

"I’ve finished the books," he said.

Su Wei was stunned, Black Cocoon was also taken aback.

"The reading speed of Light-Eating Bees is truly amazing. If it were humans, it would take months to chew through these three tomes, wouldn’t it?" Su Wei raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Don’t compare me to humans."

"Seems Bee Prince is quite idle."

"Those superpower users haven’t acted yet, I have nothing to do on the island." Qiao said, using his tail to place the three books back on the shelf. Black Cocoon glanced at the covers, which were well-preserved without scratches, then curiously looked at Qiao’s claws.

He thought, hmm, judging by the length of this Bee Prince’s nails, he must be quite gentle when flipping pages.

"There’s nothing to do now, but those superpower users will act soon, so let me remind you," Su Wei took a sip of tea.

"Will you step in?" Qiao suddenly asked.

"No, out of principle, I won’t help you, nor will I help them," Su Wei shook his head, "But after your battle ends, who knows."

"Principle... Are you worried that if you help me, humanity’s strongest forces will be wiped out by us, and then no one can stop the Light-Eating Bees from ruling the world?" Qiao asked.

"That’s not quite it, but ultimately, I’m still human and should uphold the boundaries of being human, so I shouldn’t interfere in your war."

Qiao pondered for a moment: "If I’m not mistaken, you have a grudge against those superpower users, so you want to use us to weaken their power."

"I don’t deny it," Su Wei said without raising his head.

"So, you are sure we’ll die at the hands of those superpower users?"

Su Wei sighed and said, "Your race’s sense of smell is truly keen, should be accompanied by some Spiritual ability?" Follow current novels on novelꞁire.net

"Aside from that, I can’t imagine any other reason to explain why you, a few strong beings, hide here without seizing the opportunity to attack me."

Saying this, Qiao turned his head, staring unmoving towards the underground passage entrance, "If you were in league with those superpower users, you should use this chance to capture me and utilize me to threaten other members of the Bee Race. But you didn’t."

Su Wei glanced with his peripheral vision at the direction Qiao was watching, only then realizing Qiao had also become aware of the Gu Zhuo Case’s presence.

He withdrew his gaze, silently flipping through books.

"Su Wei, what if I kill all those superpower users?" Qiao suddenly asked.

"What are you trying to say?"

Su Wei raised his head, gazing at him through his glasses.

"Speaking of them, I can smell an emotion from all of you called ’hatred’. I can tell you deeply loathe the Rainbow Wings organization," Qiao said expressionlessly, "I can help take them down for you."

"Don’t be too arrogant, I think you can’t beat them," Su Wei said indifferently, adjusting his glasses.

"Then if we Light-Eating Bees win, will you take on the role of Rainbow Wings, standing from humanity’s perspective to annihilate us?" Qiao said coldly, slowly lowering his face.

Su Wei was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "So that’s what you’re concerned about."

He paused: "Let me put it this way, if you can indeed eradicate Rainbow Wings, we won’t interfere for the sake of humanity’s survival... then the ones blocking you will be either the ’Salvation Society’ or an organization called ’Lake Hunting’," he said, looking up at Qiao, "If you can defeat them, then whatever you want, just take it."

"Good, then I am relieved," Qiao lowered his head, "Human... although we’ve only met once, I greatly admire you. I don’t wish to be your enemy."

"I’m not someone who wants trouble either. Honestly, at my age, I should already be resting," Su Wei said grudgingly.

Qiao watched his expression, seemingly confirming whether he was lying.

After a moment of silence, Qiao asked, "What book should I read next? The ones you recommended before were too superficial, couldn’t meet my needs. If you keep brushing me off, I’ll kill you."

At the end, his voice turned cold.

Black Cocoon raised a finger, "I understand, this is the time to throw in a textbook on higher mathematics! Right, Mr. Su Wei?"

"Shut up, I didn’t ask you," Qiao said coldly.

"Okay, I won’t interrupt your friendship between humans and bugs." Black Cocoon nodded, lowered his head, and continued reading his comic.

"The answer?" Qiao asked.

"Asking someone for advice with that tone." Su Wei said, "Fifth bookcase, third row, pick any book from above. I think you’ll be satisfied."

Qiao snorted coldly, moved toward the fifth bookcase Su Wei mentioned, knocking down a whole row of books and then tucked them under his arms.

He lowered his head, was silent for a moment, then lifted his head, "Too many, can’t take them back, they’ll get damaged during flight. I’ll read two here first."

Su Wei glanced at his watch, spoke without thinking: "Remind you, I close the store at five."

"Three hours left, enough."

Qiao said, suddenly turning to look at Black Cocoon, "You’re called Swallowing Silver...right?"

Black Cocoon nodded calmly, "Yes, sir, you can also call me Swallowing Silver Mouse Mousy."

"You give me a very uncomfortable feeling because I can’t smell anything from you..." Qiao said coldly, "so don’t hover in front of me, it distracts me from my reading."

"Okay, sir, then I’ll leave, I should be the kind of good baby who goes to bed early and wakes up early, otherwise someone will be angry." After speaking, Black Cocoon put his comic book into the restraint belt, then wrapped his whole body with the transparent restraint belt.

He swung the restraint belt and flew out of the Osaka Bookstore, his figure disappearing into the darkness.
