Lonemoon was speechless, it felt like he had met a fake queen earlier. But he was too lazy to bother with her and walked right towards Shen Ying, looked at the egg in her hands and asked, “How is it Shen Ying, is this the spirit seed?”

Shen Ying frowned, only replying moments later. “Perhaps…” With that said, her hands tighten, with a crack, the spirit seed was crushed.

“Damn, Shen Ying what are you… huh?” He paused midway, instantly stunned. “It’s empty!” How could this be, he looked closely at her palms, there was only the empty eggshells, there was nothing in it at all. Even that aura of original source that was initially on it had vanished.

For a moment, the gazes of all three people fell onto a certain massive being.

“It… It has nothing to do with me, Mdm!” The queen shivered as her entire body began trembling, a layer of dust fell from the room, looking like it was about to collapse from her shaking. “I… I’ve never opened that egg, I only absorbed some of the energy on the shell. Really! I swear!” As she spoke, she lifted eight claws and two feelers, leaving only a huge belly to maintain her shape.

“This spirit seed might not have been in this egg from the start.” Yi Qing said in a low voice. “This might be why we couldn’t sense its location no matter what in the Immortal Spirit Academy previously.” The Qi of the original source on the shell was too weak, without it being in their presence they couldn’t sense it too. At the beginning, they’d thought it was because the egg shell was hiding the spirit seed, they didn’t expect the spirit seed to not be here at all.

On further thought, Lonemoon thought that makes sense too! It seems like this queen wouldn’t dare lie to Shen Ying too. Besides, spirit seeds carried such concentrated Qi of the original source, if it was really in the insect nest, it was impossible that they were unaware.

“What do we do now?” He frowned, their lead was broken again. “Where do we go to find it?”

“The egg shell is here now, then it’s highly possible that the spirit seed had already broken away from this form.” Yi Qing also frowned. “Right now we do not know what form it will appear in, we’re indeed at a loss of where to start looking.”

Both of them went silent, they didn’t think it would be a futile attempt.

“Why don’t we find and ask fish bone?” Shen Ying suddenly suggested.

“What fish bone?” Lonemoon was confused then came to a realization a moment after. “You’re referring to Ling Wen Xuan? Why him?”

On the other hand, Yi Qing faltered before hastily reminding, “Father Niu, do you remember how Ling Wen Xuan injured his legs?”

“Ah?” Lonemoon was still lost. “Didn’t they say it was during a mission from the academy that he met a demon monster and even brought this spirit… damn!” He was instantly enlightened, his eyes widened abruptly. “Could it be that he was the one to bring this spirit seed back?!”

Ling Hong had mentioned to him that the first prize of the league was something that was found during the time Ling Wen Xuan injured his legs in a mission. This proved that they must have encountered danger before finding it, Ling Wen Xuan was even injured, then he naturally ought to know what happened then.

“Let’s go, we’ll go back to find him!” He walked out directly, Shen Ying and Yi Qing followed.

In a moment’s time, three people disappeared from the room. A certain massive being that was still curled up in a corner then sighed in relief carefully, while still not daring to let out sounds there were too loud, afraid of bringing the people who’d already left back.

She actually didn’t die, she was actually still alive, her race was still well! She really wanted to cry…
