Nonsense! How could my adopted son be a villain?

The cave was covered with spider webs. Zhu Sanniang nimbly climbed up the webs and dragged Xu Lingguang up with her.

Her movements were extremely rough, and Xu Lingguang was thrown around and became dizzy. Fortunately, Zhu Sanniang stopped binding him with spider silk after they entered the cave. Xu Lingguang shook his head and climbed up, supporting himself on the sticky spider web.

Zhu Sanniang was sizing him up, her eight spider legs bent up, her upper body lowered, her face almost touching Xu Lingguang's.

She reached out and gently stroked Xu Lingguang's cheek, saying with satisfaction, "Very tender."

Xu Lingguang smelled a strange fragrance, and he began to feel nauseous again, but he was afraid of angering Zhu Sanniang, so he could only try his best to endure it and said in a trembling voice, "I...I am over a hundred years old, my meat is too tough, it doesn't taste good."

When Zhu Sanniang first saw a man who could remain conscious after entering the cave, she was a little puzzled, but she was amused by Xu Lingguang's ignorance and naivety. She circled around Xu Lingguang, her eyes shining, and she was already impatient. So she released more aphrodisiacs.

"Your greatest purpose isn't eating."

Zhu Sanniang turned around with a smile, raised her huge spider abdomen towards Xu Lingguang, licked her lips and said, "Come on."

Xu Lingguang was stunned for a moment. What? Come on?

But he quickly realized what was happening. His face turned red, then green, and he scrambled back a few steps, stammering, "I...I can't do it, I can't do it. Your Majesty, could you please send someone else?"

Zhu San Niang was genuinely puzzled this time. The entire cave was filled with the smell of aphrodisiacs, so how could it not work?

This is a natural talent of the human-faced spider race. No male can resist aphrodisiacs. Under the influence of aphrodisiacs, they will sacrifice themselves to become nourishment for the human-faced spiders after completing their mating.

Of course, not every male is qualified to impregnate them. Most of the time, these inferior males can only serve as a breeding ground for their offspring.

But the one in front of her is good; he's qualified to be the father of her child.

But... it won't work?

Zhu Sanniang stretched out her claws to grab him: "Come here, let me take a look."

Xu Lingguang dodged her grab, trying to reason with her and appeal to her emotions: "Men get old, and that's how it is—good-looking but useless. I'm also troubled by this. Why don't you, Your Majesty, choose a younger, stronger one? Maybe I'll recover after a while, and then I can serve Your Majesty..."

Zhu Sanniang chuckled coldly: "All the useless ones are hanging in their cocoons outside. Is it your honor to be the father of my child, or would you rather be the warm bed that nurtures my child?"

Xu Lingguang thought of those unlucky guys with big bellies, and Number Nineteen who had been stuffed with spider eggs, and he shuddered violently.

There's no point in reasoning with them; we have to fight.

Xu Lingguang silently circulated his spiritual energy in his palm. It was a very weak amount of spiritual energy, which couldn't do much normally, but it could replace a tinderbox for starting a fire, which was very convenient.

A warm, burning sensation spread through his palm. Xu Lingguang's eyes darted around, and after identifying an escape route, he suddenly threw a ball of flame at Zhu Sanniang, shouting, "Monster, prepare to die!"

As he finished shouting, he leaped off the spiderweb, rolling over to cushion the impact as he landed. He rolled right to the cave exit, ignoring the pain all over his body, and scrambled to his feet, rushing out.

Zhu Sanniang, who was on the spider web, instinctively dodged after he shouted. When she realized it was just a small ball of flame, her face turned extremely horrified.

The flames she swung away landed on the dense spiderweb. They quickly spread and turned into a raging fire.

But this little flame did nothing to Zhu San Niang. What really angered her was that a man had escaped from her bed. If her two older sisters found out, they would definitely laugh at her!

This is simply a great humiliation.

Zhu Sanniang gritted her teeth, her face turning black. Soon, her upper body began to melt away, transforming into a gigantic human-faced spider, two meters tall. Its abdomen, adorned with human-face patterns, rose high, and its eight spider legs rapidly propelled it along its silken webs, chasing after Xu Lingguang in the direction he had fled.

Xu Lingguang dares to say that he never ran this fast in a 1,000-meter physical fitness test in college.

He seemed to have wings on his feet, dashing and stumbling out of the cave, running towards the village entrance he remembered. He saw emaciated, pale heads emerging from the spider cocoons hanging overhead, staring at him with terrified expressions.

Skulls were still emerging from the ground ahead, but Xu Lingguang was too scared to care about being afraid at this point. He stomped the skulls back and continued running.

But despite remembering it as a very short distance, he could never reach the end. Instead, water droplets kept falling from his head, stinging his skin and corroding it into burn-like spots.

Xu Lingguang was so bothered that he looked up and saw a huge black spider climbing on the web above his head.

On the spider's huge, swollen abdomen was a clear human face pattern, exactly like Zhu San Niang. When it realized that Xu Lingguang had seen it, the human face pattern began to move, revealing a wicked smile to Xu Lingguang.

Xu Lingguang: !!!

He cursed a hundred times in his mind, but knowing he couldn't reach the finish line, he guessed he was under the spider demon's spell, so he could only raise his hands and stop.

Zhu Sanniang jumped down from the spider web, her ferocious head and red spider eyes staring intently at Xu Lingguang. She said in a sinister tone, "I hate men who defy me the most. Now you can think about how you're going to die."

Xu Lingguang took a step back, tilted his head back, and said in a contemptuous tone, "If you dare to touch me, the Qingyu Sect will not let you off the hook."

The old man had mentioned the Azure Feather Sect when he tricked him into coming, clearly showing his apprehension towards them. It's likely that the Azure Feather Sect has fallen in the last month or two, which is why these demons dare to act so recklessly.

Unable to outrun or defeat them, Xu Lingguang could only resort to invoking the Qingyu Sect, attempting to borrow their power.

Zhu Sanniang paused upon hearing the name of Qingyu Sect. She tilted her head, her front legs opening and closing as if she were pondering.

But before Xu Lingguang could rejoice, she said again, "The sect leader of Qingyu Sect is dead, and the sect has fallen apart. Tell me, why won't you spare me?"

Xu Lingguang put his hands behind his back, straightened his back, and said coldly, "Who told you that the Qingyu Sect Master is dead? I'm alive and well, aren't I?"

Before Zhu Sanniang could react, he took out a golden bell and shook it. Amidst the clear tinkling of the bell, he calmly said, "Today's stunt was just to lure the snake out of its hole. Did you think that the Qingyu Sect would sit idly by and do nothing while you caused trouble on their territory? After finding your lair, I sent a message outside, and my good disciples will be here soon."
