The whereabouts of the Queen Bee?
Well.
That was honestly a fantastic question.
One that, unexpectedly enough, ended up being answered through a conversation no one would've anticipated hearing in the middle of an allegedly peaceful dungeon space.
"Congratulations."
Elder Feng suddenly spoke out of nowhere while looking toward the direction of a wild Killian Nox.
"It seems you're a father now."
"..."
"..."
The words landed with all the subtlety of a meteor strike.
No one reacted.
Not because they didn't hear it.
But because the peaceful surroundings—and even the earlier insane buzzing—had momentarily gone quiet as though giving the stage entirely to the Elder.
It became so deathly silent when he spoke with such horrifying sincerity that the declaration practically echoed throughout the entire area like some ceremonial announcement.
DA-DUN.
Father now.
The silence afterward was immediate and absolute.
Surely, they heard wrong, right?
