However, Philip treated the rabbit with such nonchalance, which filled them with envy. “Are you here for this rabbit?” Philip was puzzled. In his opinion, there was nothing special about Rabbit. Therefore, he wondered why Ariadna wanted Rabbit at the cost of her life. Although he did not have a good impression of Ariadna, he still felt that it was not worth it. Ariadna stared at Philip without answering his question because her actions should say it all. She would not bother to please him if it were not for the rabbit. “I know you’re very interested in Rabbit, but he’s my friend. I won’t let you take him for no reason.” Philip gave her a side-eye and marveled at her audacity. “As far as I know, what you mentioned about absorbing his energy is simply killing him in a different way.” Philip glanced at her in exasperation. Since she was clearly going to kill Rabbit, how could he hand Rabbit to her? Ariadna turned her head away in shame. Indeed, the creatures would die after lo
Arachne was baffled by their bizarre interaction. “Hey, tell me what’s going on. Do you have a connection with that woman?” Ronan pinned Arachne down when she finished speaking. A kid sucking a lollipop stood next to Philip, watching everything curiously. The spider people were angry to see Ronan pinning Arachne down and swarmed forward, ready to teach Philip a lesson. Some people set their sights on the kid. In their opinion, the kid had to be very important for Philip to keep him by his side. Thus, one guy rushed up and grabbed the kid sucking a lollipop, feeling proud of himself. “Let go of our people or we’ll show you what misery is!” In his opinion, the kid was probably Philip’s son. No one would let their kid get hurt, so Philip would definitely give in to their request. Just when he thought his plan would definitely succeed, Philip shrugged. “You’re so dumb. You might as well grab Rabbit from me.” The kid probably felt some pain, so he was very annoyed. With the lo
“Okay, since you’re willing to talk to us, we’ll oblige. I have many questions for you!” Ariadna was very excited. If possible, she wanted to avoid a fight too. She was also curious about the woman who appeared next to Philip earlier. Although Ariadna did not know her background, she found her strange. The woman gave Ariadna a sense of familiarity, as if they had the same origin. “I want to meet the woman who was with you earlier.” Ariadna looked at Philip expectantly, expressing her interest. “Why do you want to meet her?” Philip was puzzled and surprised by her request. “I sense something familiar about her.” Unlike Selma, Ariadna did not recognize the other's identity and had no idea where she came from. “Come with me. You’ll see her soon.” Philip smiled and led Ariadna to Selma’s place. Selma was quietly waiting for Philip and was so hung up that she did not run her business. The diners who wanted to catch a glimpse of Selma at all costs felt a great blow. At this tim
“Your friend seems unhappy with you,” Philip said aloud without mincing his words. Ariadna felt embarrassed upon hearing that. It was a conflict within their clan, so it was embarrassing for an outsider like Philip to point it out. At this time, Selma walked out and looked at the crowd in confusion, wondering why Philip brought them to her home. However, Philip had to have his reason for doing it. Selma did not ask but stood next to Philip like an obedient girl. Ariadna was jealous at this scene. An outstanding man like Philip was rare. Everyone wanted to stand by his side. “She wanted to see you, so I brought her. Although I don't know what you have to talk about, you should have a chat. “I can help you solve the problem of not absorbing Rabbit’s energy, but you need to give me something in return. I can't help you for no reason. After all, we have nothing to do with each other.” After saying that, Philip left the space for Selma and Ariadna. Although they were not of the
“It’d be great if we could undo our curse. I believe all of us will be grateful to you!” Ariadna rushed forward impatiently and looked at Selma expectantly. In her opinion, Selma had to know something or she would never say such a thing. “I asked Philip to help me open the ancestral land. He promised me that he'd take action after the family competition is over.” Ariadna was taken aback and doubted her ears. She never thought that Selma would put her hopes on an outsider. Although Philip was indeed powerful and seemed like a reliable person, it was a family secret that should not be made known to others. Ariadna was conflicted and at a loss for what to do. “Whether you agree with my approach or not, it’s done, so there’s no point in saying further. Every race has the right to unlock the ancestral land. You can’t stop me.” Every family shared the same concern, but Selma felt she should believe and trust Philip. Philip smiled and shook his head at Ariadna’s hesitation. Sure e
Ariadna gritted her teeth. She could not decide this. She had to discuss it with her family. “Hold on, let me discuss with the elders of our family. After all, it’s a matter of great importance. I can’t decide by myself.” Philip smiled in understanding. This matter was indeed very important. It was reasonable for Ariadna to discuss it with her family. Ariadna returned to the crowd nervously and woke up the people deep in practice. They were taking advantage of someone else’s treasured land. Although their strength had improved by leaps and bounds, it was embarrassing. “I need to discuss something with you. Do you think we should work with Philip? They plan to explore our ancestral land.” Ariadna explained the situation without beating about the bush. Everyone was stunned and thought she was kidding. “What? Someone is planning to go to the ancestral land?” “Philip is too bold for words. What makes him think that he can return alive? Everyone knows that the place is extre
“You have quite a temper. I’ll speak to him, then!” Arachne was annoyed by Ariadna’s attitude. Arachne glared at her with disdain and walked away. Arachne knew that she could gain a good status if she handled this well. It was something she had been longing for. Besides, Ariadna was clearly afraid of offending Philip, so she would do it on her behalf. Ariadna would lose all hope if Philip fell out with them. If Philip agreed to work with them, she would claim the credit and make a mark in their history. Arachne was very excited at this thought. Philip watched them talking and could tell what they said through the shapes of their mouths. They were clearly having an internal dispute. Unexpectedly, the annoying Arachne approached them at this time. “Wow, I can’t believe that you’re one of the snake people. We come from the same origins!” Arachne’s sudden friendly approach made Selma uncomfortable. “Excuse me, I don’t know you that well. Just speak your mind. We spoke to
“Since you’re so confident, I don’t mind telling you that we’ll set off once the family competition is over. It’s best if you can keep up. If not, don’t blame us.” After saying this, Philip turned and left, winking at Selma in the process. Selma nodded and asked the butler to show the spider people out. They were not her friends, so there was no need for them to stay. The spider people were enjoying the rich energy when someone asked them to leave. “What’s going on?” “Why chase us away for no reason? There's so much energy. Just let us practice here. I’m willing to pay for it!” Everyone howled in misery. They were keen to stay and hoped they could live there permanently. Ariadna was embarrassed by their spineless behavior. However, Ariadna was curious about Arachne's conversation with Philip. It seemed that the discussion did not go well or they would not have been chased away. Arachne glared at Selma angrily, shocked that she would kick them out. She was unwilling to
Philip knew that Ariadna had taken things too far. Although she seemed sorry about what happened, she never explained Rabbit’s incident. She did not apologize or take any action but simply tried to please Philip. Moreover, she did not carry it out until the end. Philip never cared about such short-sighted people. “Philip, you’re such a nice guy. Don’t worry. After this is over, I’ll teach them a lesson. It’s best if I can take them under my wing! It’d be spectacular if I could go out riding a few spiders!” Rabbit said with a smug smile as if he was already the lord of the spiders. Philip shuddered at Rabbit’s description and felt goosebumps all over his skin. “What weird fetish is that?” Philip was terrified at the thought of riding a spider under him. Although practitioners would find various monsters as mounts, who would choose such an ugly mount? Maybe demonic practitioners would prefer spiders. After all, it was a sight to behold. They might find it cool to scare others.
“What has it got to do with you? Anyway, I settled it. We just need to head out,” Arachne grumbled, fully displaying her annoyance. The others simply followed orders without a word. No one cared who was the person in charge. They just wanted to reach the ancestral land smoothly, figure out the secrets of their family and themselves, and most importantly, break the curse so that they could live a normal life. No one wanted to carry this terrible curse for the rest of their lives. At everyone’s silence, Arachne became more arrogant. “Ariadna, you should stop fighting me.” Ever since she pretended to reach a deal with Philip, Arachne became arrogant and did not take Ariadna seriously at all. After all, she knew that Ariadna would not question Philip about it, so she could say whatever she wanted. Philip and the others slowed down on purpose so that the spider people could keep up. He knew that the so-called mysterious ancestral land had to be full of danger. If he did not want
Philip was surprised to hear that Selma had a younger brother.Soon, a young lad walked out from the kitchen. Ronan looked like a burly man next to him. “Hello, I’m Selma’s younger brother, Cavin. It’s my pleasure to set out with you.” His words made him seem more immature. “In that case, we’ll set off after a meal.” After saying that, Philip sat down for a meal with his men. As humans, eating was a must at this time of the day. “Philip, the spider people have been watching us from behind,” Cavin whispered to Philip. Philip was surprised that Cavin was keen enough to discover Arachne, who had been hiding in the distance watching them. “I’m known for my observation. Although my ability isn’t that strong, nothing much can escape my observation.” Cavin smiled in shy modesty. Philip shook his head with a smile at Cavin’s shy reaction. “Don’t worry about those losers. They want to use us as cannon fodder to help them explore the ancestral land, but no one can guarantee who will
“Let’s go. There’s no point in staying. As one of the four unique races, others will only laugh at our embarrassment. Don’t act like the frog in a well.” After saying that, Ariadna took the lead to leave, but the others pouted as if they disagreed with her statement. “Let’s stop listening to Ariadna. We won’t have any problem if you listen to me from now on. Everything will be fine once I get the ancestral land back for us.” Arachne started brainwashing everyone. Arachne would take the credit if they gained anything, and she had to find a way to get all of Ariadna’s glory. Besides, Ariadna would die in a few days anyway. Ariadna would have no choice but to die once she failed to get Rabbit. Ariadna felt very somber and remained silent along the way. Ariadna used to be a carefree and vivacious woman, but something changed ever since she met Philip. She lost that free-spirited energy but felt irritable instead as if something was going to happen.… On the other hand, Philip
