As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. She turned around and went to pick up the broken bucket of water that she could lift with all her might.

Qin Luo quickly reached out and pulled her back, his tone extremely gentle.

"Wait a minute! I'm a woman too, you can call me elder sister!"

Looking at her pale face, which looked as if she had been dead for days, he hurriedly asked, "Are you hungry? Besides blood, do you eat anything else? Would you like some snacks?"

Before the little girl could answer, Wu Hua took out some snacks and a bag of blood and handed them to Qin Luo.

"Give it to her! The mountain spider said she can eat it!"

Qin Luo looked at the blood bag and then remembered that it was used by Doctor You to treat Zhang Niangzi's group.

It had been sitting in a corner of the warehouse for a long time, and eventually, it was completely forgotten.

She took the item and handed it to the little girl.

"Eat up! Don't be shy!"

The little girl looked at her, bewildered and somewhat embarrassed.

Qin Luo watched as she frantically swallowed, then shoved the food directly into her hand.

"Eat quickly, this is from Little Spider's brother who asked me to give it to you!"

The mountain spider nodded at her, indicating that Qin Luo was right.

The little girl then picked up the blood bag and drank it, turning her body away to avoid startling the others.

Qin Luo felt a pang of heartache watching this scene; the child looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

To live a life sustained only by blood supply is perhaps less compassionate than not being born at all…

After the mountain spider and Wu Hua recognized each other, they had so much to say to each other that it unleashed a barrage of attacks on Wang Yue.

"Dang Kang, you have no idea how scared I was! As soon as I fell, someone attacked me. I finally managed to repel them with my spider silk, and then this bastard showed up, stole my spider silk, and tried to grab me. Luckily, I was quick-witted, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing me now, boohoo~"

Wu Hua felt very sorry for its plight, but she couldn't just kill Wang Yue!

He could only get down from Qin Luo's arms, carry the little spider on his shoulder, and strut aggressively to the unconscious Wang Yue's side.

He pretended to kick hard, but actually just lightly skimmed the surface and kicked Wang Yue twice.

"It's all your fault, you wicked fellow! You scared all of us spiders to death! Even though you brought us here to rescue it, you deserve to die! You…"

The mountain spider, who had been glaring angrily at Wang Yue, changed its expression after hearing Wu Hua's next words.

"What? He brought you here to rescue me? Wasn't he going to capture me?"

Wu Hua immediately spoke up, changing its mind.

"At first, he didn't know you were our friend. Later, when he found out, he risked his life to bring us here, worried about your safety and urging us on the way..."

Upon hearing this, the mountain spider's anger turned into guilt.

"Dang Kang! Quickly check if he was hurt just now. Do you need me to spit some spider silk for him?"

He was about to vomit when Wu Hua stopped him.

"No need, no need, I'll just give him some water later. You should save your energy!"

Then he took out a piece of raw meat and handed it to it.

"Eat up! You look like you've been hungry for a long time..."

The mountain spider, seeing the meat, didn't even have time to express its gratitude; it immediately jumped up and began to devour it.

After eating, it was noticeably larger and seemed much more energetic.

Qin Luo called it and the little girl together.

"Tell me! How did you two meet?"

The little girl introduced herself somewhat shyly.

"My Kui Duo is known as the Blood Eater by others. I met Xiao Zhu at the water source when I was being chased..."

She was hesitant to speak, so the mountain spider took over the conversation.

"What chasing? She was beaten by her tribesmen for refusing to trick living people into drinking her blood. If I hadn't been there, she would have been beaten to death!"

Qin Luo and Wu Hua were both puzzled.

"Didn't they say a lot of people are dying in the city every day? Is there not enough blood to drink?"

The mountain spider, though tiny, let out a huge sigh.

"Human hearts are inherently greedy. Death is never as good as life. When there's nothing, all they ask for is to fill their stomachs. But once they're full, they start pursuing taste. She's disobedient, and there's nowhere left for her in the tribe. She can only depend on me for survival..."

Kui Duo frowned deeply with remorse, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

"The little spider saved me, but I've never let it have a proper meal. It's been fed scraps that other people don't want every day. I'm so sorry to it..."

The mountain spider jumped onto her shoulder and used its legs to wipe away her tears.

"It's okay, I'm not hungry, and you've been protecting me well!"

Qin Luo looked at the human and beast huddled together before him, then turned to look at Wu Hua.

"Little one, it has found its destined one!"

Wu Hua looked up at her with a smile.

"Like Luo Luo, she's a kind person!"

"Hehe! It seems we can't get rid of it then!"

"Hmm, let's ask it for its opinion!"

Qin Luo then asked the Mountain Spider whether they should go to the Heavenly Dao.

From the moment she asked the question, Kui Duo kept smiling as she looked at the mountain spider.

I was afraid that if I showed even the slightest sign of reluctance, it would choose to stay in this city that felt like a living hell.

The mountain spider knew what she was thinking; he did want to leave, but he wanted to take her with him even more.

Instead of escaping to heaven himself, he left her alone here to suffer.

It stared at Kui Duo for a long time, then looked at Qin Luo as if it had made up its mind.

"Can I take her with me?"

Qin Luo gave the answer without even thinking.

"No, she's just a mortal, she can't ascend, and the Heavenly Dao wouldn't allow it!"

"What about Dangkang? Why didn't it go?"

Qin Luo's eyes softened considerably when this was mentioned.

"It stayed in the human world to protect me for a hundred years, all for my sake!"

Wu Hua nodded her little head frantically to the side.

"Yes, yes, for her!"

The mountain spider seemed to have found its target, its eyes becoming exceptionally determined.

"Then I will protect her for a hundred years!"

Qin Luo didn't try to persuade him further. Everyone has their own karma, and beasts are no exception.

Having made her decision, she wouldn't interfere further.

But a report still needs to be submitted. Explain the situation to the mountain spider and obtain its consent.

She touched the auspicious cloud on her forehead.

"Father of Heaven, we found the Mountain Spider in the black market near the border of the three countries. It has also found its destined person. Can we come to you in a hundred years?"

The next second, she received a telepathic message from the Heavenly Dao.

"Just swear not to harm anyone! Take care of yourself!"

Qin Luo hadn't expected him to care about people; it seemed he was aware of the dangers of this place. After politely thanking him,

He then conveyed the will of Heaven to the Mountain Spider and the Puppet Master.

Then, the mountain spider's impatient vow was heard.

"The Mountain Spider Beast of the Beast Realm swears in this realm that it will never harm the human realm, and will return to the Heavenly Dao after the death of its destined one!"

The oath was complete; a golden light slammed into its forehead, not sparing even Kui Duo's forehead.

With the question of whether to stay or leave resolved, Qin Luo asked some questions about survival.

"Are you two planning to starve in this city forever?"

The mountain spider sighed again, looking old-fashioned.

"I've thought about taking her out, but it's like she's sealed inside this city. She can't even step out of the city gates. Even putting her in my companion space wouldn't work; she'd be kicked out immediately..."
