Chapter 160: Rescuing Shadowless 17

Aided by the divine elixir, Situ Tengyi swiftly repaired all of his alter egos.

At that exact moment, he sensed danger approaching!

Greatly startled, Situ Tengyi’s soul rapidly flew out from within the spatial dimension!

Regaining consciousness instantly, Situ Tengyi bolted to the side!

The male spider lunged into empty air, feeling utterly frustrated and depressed!

It had plotted everything out meticulously: while its dear wife was asleep, it would quietly and stealthily devour Situ Tengyi, yet somehow this fellow had managed to escape!

In the gloom, Situ Tengyi caught sight of the male spider’s resentful eyes!

He could not help feeling baffled. What on earth had gotten into this spider in the middle of the night? Initially, it had not looked at him with such a gaze. Could it be that after a nap, it had woken up hungry and wanted to eat him?

Yet that was not the look of hunger; it was unmistakably a glare of bitter hatred! More accurately, it was the look of a romantic rival!

Strange, when on earth had he become a rival in love to this spider?

With his quick mind, Situ Tengyi connected what had happened before he entered the dimension to repair his avatars, and factoring in how everyone else had been attacked while he alone was spared, a glimmer of realization dawned upon him.

Seeing that the female spider was still fast asleep, he deduced that the male spider was acting on its own accord!

How cunning was Situ Tengyi? Without hesitation, he launched a palm strike directly at the female spider—

Though fast asleep, the female spider’s instincts regarding impending danger remained razor-sharp!

Soon, the female spider snapped to full awareness—

In the darkness, Situ Tengyi watched as the female spider lunged directly toward the male spider!

Overjoyed, Situ Tengyi knew he had successfully provoked an internal conflict between the spiders. If the two beasts ended up injuring each other in the brawl, he would be the ultimate beneficiary!

He swiftly fished out a luminous night pearl.

In the dark, the brilliant glow emitted by the pearl illuminated the entire spider cavern as bright as day!

Demonstrating his wicked streak, Situ Tengyi gave the female spider a thumbs-up in silent praise and flashed her a smile—

Though it was merely a sinister grin, to the female spider, it was the most handsome smile in all creation!

Consequently, she launched a ferocious attack upon the male spider!

Deeply in love with his wife, the male spider naturally yielded to her.

It limited itself to defense while desperately trying to explain, "My dear wife, this human is extremely cunning! He is clearly trying to make us turn against each other so he can reap the rewards."

The female spider refused to listen to any explanations. "You’re lying! You just wanted to wait until I fell asleep to eat him so you could achieve spiritual ascension!"

When a woman loves deeply, her fury knows no bounds!

The female spider was no exception. She had once loved the male spider dearly, but the mere thought that he had intended to abandon her to attain spiritual enlightenment on his own filled her with a burning hatred for him!

Situ Tengyi retreated a few steps back.

The sheer explosive power of the female spider was ferocious beyond belief, sending vast waves of venom surging toward him. Fortunately, his body was completely immune to all poisons, or else he would have long since died of toxic shock.

Situ Tengyi also noticed that the female spider continually targeted the male spider's sixth single eye.

A wave of elation washed over him. Could this be the male spider's fatal weakness?

These two spiders were on the verge of attaining spiritual maturity; using a sword could at best hack off their limbs, but inflicting serious damage upon their actual bodies was utterly impossible!

If they possessed a vulnerable spot, however, things would become much simpler!

Initially, the male spider merely dodged and defended itself, but as the female spider pressed forward relentlessly, driven by an urge to end its life, things changed.

Its polite admonitions only served to enrage the female spider further!

After all, it had a temper of its own, did it not?

Its own wife had been so easily seduced by a human—it truly resented her for having so little spine!

They were both shallow creatures obsessed with looks, but hadn't it laid eyes on plenty of beautiful human women over the years?

Quite a few, yet none had ever stirred its heart. At most, it would capture them just to look at them, and once it grew tired of them, it would eat them right up!

Look at the female spider instead: she actually wanted to marry this human!

Consumed by jealousy, the male spider was driven to the verge of madness!
