Fang Ruotang hesitated for a moment.

[Can Brother Yan hold on?]

[What do you think? It'll only take the Spider Queen a moment to mate with him, and afterwards she'll eat him for nourishment. It's fine if you usually prefer Rong Xing, but don't be too biased now, or someone might die.]

The little mirror estimated for a moment before speaking up to remind the user.

Fang Ruotang bit her lip and instructed, "Fan, go and rescue Rong Xing now. Make sure he is safe. Da Mei, come with me."

After saying that, she refuted the little mirror's words.

【You're wrong. I'm not showing favoritism towards Xingxing at a time like this. It's just that Xingxing is closer to me, and I need to save Brother Yan, even if it means going past Xingxing.】

She headed towards where the two of them were, following the same route for the first part, but the two routes ended in opposite directions. However, the place where Rongxing was located was clearly closer.

It's the same as rescuing someone who has fallen into the water. Of course, she will pull out whoever is closest to her first. How could she ignore the person who is closer and go to the more distant one, unless that person who is closer is not the one she wants to save?

But given the current situation, she has to save both Gu Yanjin and Rong Xing.

Fang Ruotang directly connected with the six people, and while heading quickly towards Gu Yanjin, she also informed them of the situation in her mind.

[Alright, alright, Brother Yan's situation is a bit more dangerous. If I don't go, he'll have a child with the Spider Queen. I've already sent Fan to find you. Hang in there a little longer.]

Fang Ruotang no longer hesitated at this point.

After all, both of them could obtain magical artifacts from the small mirror.

Rong Xing can hold out until Fan goes to find him, or even after she saves Gu Yanjin, it won't be a big problem for her to go to find him. On the contrary, it would be troublesome for Gu Yanjin if he lost his innocence.

The mere thought that Gu Yanjin might be slept with by the Spider Queen sent chills down Fang Ruotang's spine. She couldn't be blamed; she could only be a heartless person.

She could not become sworn sisters with the Spider Queen.

Okay, be careful, I'm fine here.

Rong Xing was still able to reply to Fang Ruotang, but Gu Yanjin was so busy that he didn't even have time to reply in his mind. Just now, because Fang Ruotang suddenly spoke in his mind, he paused for a moment, and his waist was bound by the Spider Queen's silk. He was uncontrollably flying towards the Spider Queen.

Even if Gu Yanjin wanted to cut the spider silk immediately, it was too late. Strands of spider silk gushed out, and Gu Yanjin's hands were bound.

Soon, the spider silk formed a giant pupa.

Gu Yanjin was completely enveloped and unable to move. He couldn't even see what was happening outside. His spiritual sense wasn't particularly strong, but his perception was still quite good.

However, the spider silk seemed to block the detection of spiritual power. He could not see what was happening outside, but a faint layer of smoke suddenly rose from the pupa.

The color was neither white nor translucent; it was an eerie red.

Gu Yanjin held his breath, not daring to inhale even a drop, but the red smoke could penetrate his body through his skin.

"Don't come any closer."

Gu Yanjin suddenly spoke, his voice unusually calm and resolute.

【What's wrong? 】

Fang Ruotang's steps didn't stop at all; on the contrary, they quickened.

"The situation here is a bit bad. The Spider Queen sprayed something that can burrow into people's bodies. Don't come over rashly, or you might get infected."

He also had defensive armor, but it had no effect on the smoke emitted by the Spider Queen. He was afraid that Fang Ruotang would be the same.

Is it that amazing?

Fang Ruotang was a little surprised and immediately asked Xiao Jingzi what smoke was.

The smoke wasn't harmful; it was just the queen spider controlling the males, forcibly inducing them to mate.

[Are you... in heat?]

Fang Ruotang's jaw nearly dropped in shock, and she slipped, almost tumbling over.

[Brother Yan, how are you now?]

Gu Yanjin also heard what Xiao Jingzi said. Normally, at such a critical moment of life and death, he would not have thought in this direction, but after being reminded by Xiao Jingzi, he realized that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, not because of the life-or-death situation and the surge in adrenaline, but because of the burst of physical desire.

[Brother Yan?]

Receiving no response, Fang Ruotang called out again.

[Gu Yanjin, you didn't let the Spider Queen take advantage of you, did you?! Wake up! You're a human, you can't sleep with a giant spider! No matter how human-like she looks, her lower body is still a giant spider! Don't have such heavy tastes!]

[Shut up!]

This was the first time Gu Yanjin had spoken harshly to Fang Ruotang.

The veins on his forehead were bulging.

The smoke that the Spider Queen spewed out was incredibly powerful, I don't know why.

It kept drilling into his body, and it worked extremely quickly. His lower body felt like iron, forcing him to grit his teeth and restrain himself. Meanwhile, Fang Ruotang was still rambling on and on.

Oh, you're alright! I've arrived.

After Fang Ruotang finished speaking, she appeared in the Spider Queen's nest.

The first thing she saw was a giant spider, so big that it terrified Fang Ruotang. It was bigger than a small house. It was just like the ordinary human-faced spider, with a human upper body, and it was a beautiful one at that.

She was exceptionally beautiful, with long hair cascading down like a waterfall, a fair and delicate face, almond-shaped eyes, and cherry lips—a truly charming beauty.

Like the ladies of noble families in their Great Yong Dynasty, she possessed great elegance.

But its lower body was so enormous that from a distance it looked as if it were sitting on a spider, especially its lower body. It was unclear whether the spider queen was originally like this or if it was stretched to the point of being transparent due to the large number of spiders it was carrying in its abdomen.

Fang Ruotang could clearly see the swarming little spiders, and she felt like she was going to vomit. She couldn't help but gag twice.

The Spider Queen immediately looked at Fang Ruotang, a flash of anger in her eyes, very emotional. Fang Ruotang noticed it and was stunned.

"You don't still have human memories, do you?"

"Kill her! Kill her!"

Enraged, the Spider Queen issued a command.

Fang Ruotang's eyes widened. What else didn't she know? This Spider Queen actually had memories of being human. How could she still be clinging to life?

Fang Ruotang couldn't figure it out, and didn't have time to think about it.

A group of human-faced spider demons rushed in from all directions.

The once spacious stone chamber suddenly became cramped.

Fang Ruotang looked at the densely packed spiders with human faces, and she felt completely horrified; goosebumps rose all over her body.

"Hurry, hurry, Da Mei, get on it! Fire, fire!"

Fang Ruotang danced a tap dance as if there were knives under her feet, bouncing around.

But the sword in her hand deftly strung the human-faced spiders together, like stringing grasshoppers, two at a time. Fang Ruotang vomited as she killed them.

The Spider Queen was furious when she saw this, and suddenly her silk pulled the pupa in the air.

Fang Ruotang had noticed the pupa long ago, so when the spider queen moved, she looked over and saw that the thick pupa suddenly became transparent, revealing the person inside.

Yes, a naked man writhing!
