CHAPTER 802: CHAPTER 498: SURVIVING THE NIGHT

There’s another head, seemingly holding something in its mouth, and as it climbs upward, that held item drags along the wall...

Leaving a trace...

The item seems spindle-shaped, with something flowing down from below...

Yi and Sui Yi exchange glances... Blood?

The two slowly lift the quilt, get up from both ends of the bed, and head to the balcony, opening the balcony door. Sui Yi steps out first with the Demon Que Sword in hand... and then turns to see the window glass.

Hmm, nothing?

But indeed, there’s a sticky layer of liquid on the glass, and it is blood, flowing downward... but also dragging upward... dragging along... bending down...

She looks down at the Demon Que, the sword edge slowly rotates, casting a reflection of what’s above...

Spider!

Above!

Sui Yi decisively sidesteps!

Two strands of silk shoot toward her!

Swish!

Sui Yi jumps onto the balcony, the Demon Que unsheathed, its cold light under the moon forcing out a chill, cutting everything in its path!

The two strands of spider silk are severed in an instant!

This huge spider’s body is as large as an elephant, its abdomen bulging, a line of eyes on its head, and that face flashes by in the darkness, startling Sui Yi who was about to draw her sword.

This face... is the face of a beauty, extraordinarily beautiful, yet not quite human, with a touch of Demon Qi,

Monster?

Whoosh~

Another long strand of spider silk is spat out~ but instead of a strong attack, it twists, wrapping around the raised Demon Que in Sui Yi’s hand!

The force is indeed great, directly pulling Sui Yi upward!

Its mouth opens wide, about to swallow her whole.

Thud! Sui Yi stomps on its face, then steps on its back, twisting the Demon Que Sword Edge in her hand, ssss! The entangled spider silk is shredded, scattering everywhere, as Sui Yi grips the Demon Que and boldly stabs downward...

Yet the spider is cunning, using the other end of the bound cocoon as a shield!

It’s a person!

Sui Yi has no choice but to shift the Demon Que aside, cutting the silk binding the cocoon, letting it fall, unable to catch it in time, only watching as the cocoon drops onto the first-floor balcony... thump!

The sound startles people awake, oil lamps are lit, and voices travel.

Above, the spider, unwilling, hisses, preparing to pounce on Sui Yi~~

Whoosh!

Yi’s long dagger intercepts!

Thunk!

One leg is forcibly severed!

In excruciating pain, the spider opts for a swift retreat, springing along the silk thread to escape...

Sui Yi’s sword is about to strike it, when below, the gate opens, someone steps out onto the balcony, staring at the cocoon with suspicion: "What’s this?"

Next to them is a bodyguard, who steps forward, examines the cocoon, and is horrified: "Young Master, this is..."

Swish!

A streak of white shoots toward them!

Followed by a flash of sword light!

Clatter!

The silhouette of the sword dances, shredding the white silk, it falls on their heads.

Whoosh~ A large shadow darts into the garden, vanishing from sight,.

And Sui Yi lands before them.

The long sword emits a frosty chill.

In shock, Marton’s Young Master Ya Ke glares at Sui Yi, "It’s you!"

With some hostility!

It’s a female voice!

Sui Yi’s gaze naturally turns toward the indoor voice, as someone rushes out!

Wo Er?

"You’re trying to assassinate us?! You’re the murderer!" Wo Er accuses Sui Yi decisively and efficiently, with a malicious certainty in her eyes!

Sui Yi looks at her, frowns: "There’s a spider."

"What spider? Sui Yi, it’s you..."

Women, especially those intent on bringing about your end, can be astonishing in their obstinacy, ignoring the spider cocoon on the ground and not acknowledging that it was Sui Yi who blocked that spider silk for them earlier. If not for her concern for them, that spider would already be dead.

Sui Yi doesn’t bother arguing with her, just lowers her gaze to the spider cocoon on the ground. The spider silk wraps around the person in circles, with the head exposed but also covered in some silk strands, seemingly a woman, covered in slime~

It’s unclear if she was swallowed and spat out, or half-devoured and spat out, or perhaps just licked...

Anyway, it’s thoroughly disgusting.

Yet, she seems to have some breath left.

"She’s still alive," Sui Yi says calmly.

However, Wo Er and the others don’t care, the bodyguards encircle Sui Yi...

Swish!

With several consecutive afterimages flashing, all the bodyguards fall to the ground.

Yi holds the tip of her dagger to Wo Er’s cheek, chillingly cold. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
