first kiss 2
A sour liquid that goes down smoothly with a tightly clenched fist, sipping it on the tip of the tongue.
The liquid passed by the queen bee passed through the throat and hit the stomach.
The trajectory of the liquid, like a shot of strong whiskey, showing me where my esophagus and stomach are.
In such a confusing situation, that was the only thought that came to my mind.
Above all, my first kiss was stolen by the queen bee.
Yeah, that was the one thought that popped into my head.
‘At first, more than anything, I wanted to share my heart with you… My romance…’
The bees were stuck and could not resist, and the more they struggled, the tighter their legs became.
Eventually, I stopped resisting and let out my breath, and the liquid the queen bee was giving me continued to flow down my throat.
-Gulp. Gulp.
And after a while.
The kiss, which felt short but long, came to an end when the queen bee’s antenna gently tapped my head.
-Churup
Then, as the queen bee’s mouth left my mouth, a long stream of liquid formed between my mouth and the queen bee’s mouth, then stopped.
As I sat down in despair, the bees dragged me out of the tree and disappeared into their holes.
‘Is this all the fun…? Is this what it’s like to be a queen bee…’
Although I was bewildered by the absurd incident that suddenly occurred, I walked from the entrance of the old tree towards the entrance of the training ground.
-Thump. Thump.
It was when I was absentmindedly heading towards the entrance of the training ground.
I didn’t realize that I had lost my first kiss to the queen bee, but I remembered the sour taste in my mouth.
‘What is this… No, it’s not. Wait!? Could it be that I ate it…’
But I was just about to recall everything I had eaten.
I wasn’t aware of it because of the confusion, but as the confusion subsided, I started to feel something strange in my body.
With every step I took, a strange discomfort took hold of my body.
A strange, ticklish discomfort.
At first, I thought it was because my mind was blown by the kiss with the King of Gold, but instead of a feeling of discomfort like nausea, I started to feel a strange sensation in my lower abdomen below my navel.
-Knock knock. Knock knock.
When I concentrate, I feel something the size of a grain of rice throbbing in my lower abdomen.
As I neared the entrance to the training grounds, that small feeling began to amplify, and along with it, various other symptoms began to appear in my body.
It feels like my eyes are turning red and my body is getting hot.
No, my eyes were turning red and my body was getting hot.
And the small throbbing sensation in the lower abdomen had now definitely turned into a palpitation.
-Thump thump.
The heat rising from my body and the throbbing in my lower abdomen.
My eyes were getting dizzy.
And it felt like something was stretching out along a certain path through my body.
‘Wait a minute, is this the dantian I felt when I was learning the Five Poisons Returning to the Origin Technique!? They said that the honey from the Golden Phoenix King would increase my internal energy for two months, so then what does the queen bee eat…?’
The thought that the cause of the throbbing in my lower abdomen was my danjeon occurred to me, and it was around the time I realized why my tiny danjeon was acting like this.
Beyond my blurred vision, I could vaguely see my grandfather and older sister running towards me from afar.
“Little dragon!”
“Little dragon!”
And then a huge heat began to engulf me.

Mandokshin-gun and Dang Hwa-eun came running in a panic after hearing that So-ryong had been taken away by the Golden Phoenix Kings.
It was when the two of them, who had come running in a hurry, discovered Soryong walking out of the entrance to the training ground with a blank expression on his face.
-dump.
The little dragon seemed to stumble a little, then suddenly fell over like a log.
“Little dragon!”
“Little dragon!”
I don’t know how she did it, but Dang Hwa-eun flew like a swallow faster than her grandfather, Man-dok-shin-gun, and picked up So-ryong in her arms.
And I checked the condition of the dragon.
A flushed face and a sweet scent on her breath.
And I felt a strange heat emanating from the dragon’s body.
It was because the inside of her arms holding the little dragon was warm.
“What is this!? Grandpa Soryong is strange. There’s a fever coming out of his body!”
“Get out of my way!”
The old man came running, felt the dragon’s pulse, and then spoke with surprised eyes.
“I’ve only just begun to practice this kind of internal energy, and I feel like I’ve swallowed a huge elixir!”
“Is it an elixir?”
“Yes, I don’t know what you ate, but it looks like you swallowed something pretty big. There’s no time. Stand guard so I can guide the energy of my elixir!”
“Yes, Grandpa!”
It was a strange situation where it was unclear what he ate, as the dragon had clearly said that the honey from the Golden Phoenix King would not be remade for a long time.
Grandfather quickly took off Xiaolong’s upper clothes and began to guide the energy of the elixir.
I don’t know how great the elixir he swallowed was, but even though his grandfather was sweating and struggling, the blood vessels all over Xiaolong’s body were blazing.
It feels like I’m going to explode if I do something wrong.
The three guys who were attached to Hwa-eun’s body, Cho, Hyang, and Bin, started to climb up and down Hwa-eun’s body, worried about her.
“Don’t worry. Dad will be okay.”

Three geese who can’t even sit still when Hwa-eun speaks.
When Hwa-eun told the guys trying to cross over to So-ryong’s body that it might be more dangerous, only then did the guys become quiet.
They were truly mysterious guys.

-Ugh.
When I came to my senses, the first thing I felt was a cold feeling on my forehead.
As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw my sister’s worried face wiping my flushed forehead with a wet towel.
Then a worried voice is heard.
My sister asked me about my condition with a worried expression.
“Little Dragon? Are you awake?”
“Hey, where is this?”
When I asked where it was because it wasn’t my room, my older sister wiped the sweat from her forehead and said,
“This is the Tang dynasty’s medicine hall. We ran to the martial arts hall because they said that So-ryong was taken away by King Geummobong, but So-ryong walked out of the martial arts hall and suddenly collapsed.
So, Grandpa and I moved here. Do you remember what happened?”
‘That’s right. I was dragged away by the bees and my first kiss was stolen… I’m sorry, Sister! Sob…’
If I had to do it, I would have wanted to do it with my older sister…
As I hung my head in sorrow at having my first kiss stolen by someone else, no, by poison, my surprised older sister asked me.
“Little Dragon, are you okay!? What’s wrong? Is something wrong with your body? Should I call Grandpa?”
But I knew that nothing good would come of it if my older sister found out, so I calmed down and answered.
“Oh, no. Just wait a minute…”
Then my older sister questioned me with a worried expression.
“What on earth did you eat? My grandfather said it was something between a medium and high level elixir. It seems like you ate the Golden Mobongwang’s wheat or something else. Maybe it was Nae-dan?”
‘Elixir? Oh, right. It felt like I was fed royal jelly?’
My sister’s words reminded me of something I had forgotten.
The fact that the queen bee of the Golden Beetle fed me royal jelly.
And when I thought about it, what the queen bee and I did felt more like an exchange of nutrients between bees than a kiss.
Since I provided the house, I treated the guests to a meal during the housewarming party?
It was clear that the queen bee had fed her royal jelly, so this was more of a meal than a kiss.
Moreover, it was an act done without any thought.
‘Thank goodness, it didn’t count.’
I answered my sister’s question, thinking that this was clearly a no-count.
“Ah, as expected, what I ate was… The queen bee fed me the food she eats, but I don’t know the exact name. If I had to give it a name, I would call it Bongwangjang (蜂王浆)?”
“Bongwangjang?”
To explain royal jelly, I had to give a brief explanation about bees, so I explained it in detail to my older sister, who was obviously curious.
“How should I explain it? There are three types of bees in a hive.”
“Three types? You clearly said last time that there are queen bees and worker bees, but is there another one?”
When I brought the Golden Bee King here, I already told him that there was a queen bee.
He nodded and said.
“Yes, worker bees, drone bees, and queen bees. As I told you last time, queen bees lay eggs their entire lives, and worker bees work their entire lives.”
“Oh, then, what about the bees?”
I smiled to myself as I answered, as if the bee was curious.
Because I could clearly see how my older sister would react.
“Of course···.”
“of course?”
“Share the joy of clouds and rain with the queen bee… Other than that, the drone bees can’t do anything.”
“···.”
My older sister became quiet, as if she was chewing over the new knowledge she had acquired.
My sister spoke with slightly red cheeks.
“Ahem. That, that’s right. By the way, tell me more about the Bongwangjang.”
Now, my sister’s words, as her complexion quickly recovered, as if she had gained some tolerance.
I answered, thinking it was cute.
“Yes, bees gather honey and pollen in their hives to eat them and survive, but only worker bees eat honey and pollen.”
“Then, what about the queen bee?”
“From the moment we are born until we die, we live off of the honeycomb that worker bees make for us.”
To be precise, worker bees eat royal jelly only for a short period during the larval stage, and eat honey and pollen for the rest of the time.
Honey is a source of energy and pollen is for protein supplementation.
However, queen bees eat only one food from birth until death, and that is royal jelly made by worker bees.
As worker bees grow older after being born, their jobs change. One of the changes is that during the larval raising period, their salivary glands change into mammary glands and produce royal jelly.
A kind of bee milk?
“Oh, I see. The food that a queen bee eats throughout her life.”
When my older sister nodded at my explanation, I spoke with emphasis as if telling her to listen carefully.
“But Bongwangjang has a special effect.”
“What is the special effect?”
“While an ordinary worker bee lives a short life of about a month and a half, a queen bee that eats the beekeeping supplies can live up to sixty times that long. How is that? Isn’t that amazing?”
“Ahhh···. So···.”
I thought my sister would react a little surprised at this part, like, ‘Oh my! Is the life of a worker bee that short? And the queen bee lives sixty times longer than the worker bees!?’
But my older sister nodded calmly.
I was a little disappointed by the reaction of the person who explained it, which was so disheartening…
Then my older sister spoke with a bright smile.
“The mystery has been solved. Congratulations, Soryong. Didn’t you say that if you eat the Golden Phoenix King’s wheat, you will gain two months’ worth of internal energy?”
“Congratulations? Right? That’s what you said.”
When I tilted my head at the sudden congratulations and question from my older sister, my older sister continued her explanation.
“The internal energy method that So-ryong learned was the Tang sect’s introductory internal energy method, the O-dok-gwi-won-gong, so it couldn’t absorb all of the elixir’s energy, but if the Golden Phoenix King’s wheat increases two months’ worth of internal energy, then by eating the Phoenix King’s paste as So-ryong said, he gained exactly sixty times that amount, ten years’ worth of internal energy.”
“Ten years of internal energy?”
“Congratulations on your wonderful relationship.”
Let’s quickly turn over our internal energy as our older sister said, a chestnut-sized danjeon where we can feel our internal energy.
When I was a small grain of internal energy, I felt a huge energy writhing that I had never felt before.
“What is this?”
“So-ryong has now attained the level of the Ten Poisons. If he passes the Tang sect’s tests, So-ryong will be recognized as having reached the level of the Ten Poisons.”
The joy of having acquired great internal energy that allowed me to perform light techniques and shoot dark energy like my older sister was short-lived.
No, I was definitely preparing for the regular course, but then I suddenly heard my older sister say that since I passed the GED test, I should take the college entrance exam.
I was suddenly very confused, having to memorize the scents of over four thousand poisons and the locations of a thousand thrown weapons.
I’ve heard that I’m a genius at memorizing things about poisonous insects that I’m interested in from my past life, but I was evaluated a little differently when it comes to studying.
‘Studying wasn’t that easy…’
It was at that time that I was gripped by the fear of the upcoming college entrance exam.
My sister spoke in a slightly embarrassed voice.
“That… later, take a look at the Silver Mirror too. The Bongwangjang… It seems like it has other effects as well.”
“Eun-kyung?”
My sister told me to look in the mirror.
When I tilted my head, my sister’s cheeks were flushed red, just like when I woke up earlier.
