The new Queen Bee gradually stopped struggling, and the golden light slowly seeped into its body before flying out and entering Qin Niu’s forehead.
He quickly focused and prepared himself.
It had been hard-earned; he couldn’t afford to falter at the critical moment.
He closed his eyes, and after a severe stabbing pain in his head, it gradually returned to normal.
He had finally managed to secure it.
The situation had been extremely dangerous; if he, as the master, couldn’t withstand the energy of the contract, had fainted, or gone mad, the contract would have failed.
“You stubborn thing, why do you have to be so obstinate?”
Qin Niu glared at the new Queen Bee and scolded it.
He had nearly failed to subdue it, even after expending two Low-grade Contract Charms.
This Queen Bee was definitely a tough nut to crack.
Despite scolding, his heart was filled with extreme joy and a sense of accomplishment.
Not to mention anything else, just the tenacious will it had shown, that stubborn defiance to never bow down, filled it with unlimited potential.
With proper nurturing, its growth potential in the future could be astonishing.
Eagerly, he checked its attributes.

Bee Colony: Worker Bees 31,789, Drones 472, Juvenile Queen Bees 4.
Qin Niu was stunned.
At that moment, a bee that was obviously much larger than the other Worker Bees and darker in color flew out from the depths of the hive.
As it emerged, a large number of Worker Bees and Drones flew out with it, accompanying it.
“This, this is the old Queen Bee!”
Qin Niu knew that when a bee colony divided, it was usually the old Queen Bee that led part of the colony away to find a new nest.
Today was an eye-opener.
In one day, this hive of honey bees had split twice.
The entire bee colony became restless, and a large number of Worker Bees and Drones flew out, following the old Queen Bee into the distance.
In just a moment, the number of bees left in the hive had already dropped below half of the original.
He checked the number of the bee colony; it was still that many.
There were still over thirty thousand Worker Bees.
This didn’t even include the bee eggs, larvae, and pupae left in the nest.
A vast bee colony was truly terrifying.
After the old Queen Bee led part of the colony away, this hive became the domain of the new Queen Bee.
The first thing it did was not crawl into the depths of the hive but towards one of the royal platforms. After entering, it directly dragged out an unmatured royal larva from within and threw it to the ground below the tree.
Since the larvae lack the ability to move, and their bodies have not yet formed wings and are still soft,
the fall from such a height smashed the poor royal larva into a pulp.
What was it doing?
Was it slaughtering its future competitors?
One would have thought such actions only occurred in human kingdoms, yet these diligent, kind honey bees had such a cruel and selfish side as well.
Qin Niu did not intervene, instead observing quietly.
Soon, another Juvenile Queen Bee was dragged out and killed by it.
When it attempted to kill the third Juvenile Queen Bee, some Worker Bees began to stop it.
But this new Queen Bee had an iron will, and no bee could prevent it from doing what it wanted to do.
The third Juvenile Queen Bee was killed.
As it proceeded to kill the fourth Juvenile Queen Bee, more Worker Bees came forward to stop it. Still to no avail, it killed whoever it wanted to kill.
The fourth Juvenile Queen Bee also met a tragic end on the spot.
It was too cruel.
Upon ascending to its new position, the new Queen Bee engaged in fratricide, slaying its four sisters outright.
Luckily, the first new Queen Bee had matured and left the nest earlier; otherwise, a great battle might have ensued.
It had completely taken over the hive, becoming the sole queen of the entire bee colony.
One could see that, not long after it had slaughtered the four Juvenile Queen Bees, the entire bee colony gradually became well-ordered.
It also slowly crawled into the depths of the hive.
A swarm of Drones followed it like whipped dogs.
