But thinking of the fierce competition for the position of girlfriend at Wei Zhao's side, Sun Jingyan felt somewhat conflicted again. Qiu Lingshan, Shen Yushu—both of them were queuing up and waiting, weren't they?
"However, once you take this treasure back, do not spread word of it, or it will bring serious trouble!" the Heaven-Rank Spider warned.
"Naturally. A force that even you and the Fire Lion clan combined cannot contend with—I had best be careful," Wei Zhao said in full agreement. After his earlier clash with the Great Protector, Wei Zhao had already begun thinking along these lines.
"Then I will say no more." The Heaven-Rank Spider nodded. "Are you not anxious to know where that teleportation formation is?"
"What use is being anxious? If you won't take me there, there's nothing I can do," Wei Zhao said with a shrug.
"Taking you to see it is naturally no problem, but with your current strength, you had best not activate the teleportation formation. Setting aside the unknown dangers that might await at the destination, the energy produced when the formation teleports cannot be withstood without Heaven-Rank strength!" the Heaven-Rank Spider explained.
"I understand. I'm only curious to have a look—I'm not that reckless," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "With my strength, going to some Cloud-Rank Island would be no different from courting death, wouldn't it?"
"That teleportation formation lies at one end of another mountain-ravine chasm. Even for us of the spider clan, crossing over is not easy—we must spin silk one after another. With only your current strength, you could never cross," the Heaven-Rank Spider said. "If you want to go have a look, I will have my people spin a silk bridge. It should take about a night's work—you can go take a look tomorrow!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Wei Zhao said.
"It is nothing—merely within my power," the Heaven-Rank Spider said.
By this time, the spider subordinates had already prepared a lavish banquet. The wine was a fruit wine they brewed themselves, said to be infused with heavenly and earthly treasures and highly beneficial for cultivation, while the food consisted of natural fruits, much the same as what they had eaten at the Great Fire Lion's abode.
Wei Zhao did not stand on ceremony. After eating heartily together with Sun Jingyan, the Heaven-Rank Spider yielded the cave to Wei Zhao, Sun Jingyan, and the Heaven-Thunder Pig for their rest, while it led its swarm of spider subordinates—and even the little spiders—to work through the night building a silk bridge for Wei Zhao.
Outside the spider clan's cave there were ancient restrictions, so there was no fear of danger. Thus this was the most secure night Wei Zhao and Sun Jingyan had enjoyed...(to be continued) RQ
