The commotion didn't go unnoticed and Jiang Liu emerged from the water upon hearing his name.
Turning his head, what came to view instantly are four maiden standing a top of the rocks in what appears like their defensive stance.
At the very front is Wei Yi Yi with her fists ready to swing and take down anyone to kiss the ground.
'They look like ready to wage war. It seems scary to get close.'
With his feet still dripping wet, Jiang Liu shook the thoughts away and jog to them. "What's wrong, Big Sister?"
"W-wait!" Wei Yi Yi stretched out both of her palms open in front. "Stay put! Don't get too close!"
Jiang Liu stepped down on the breaks a bit too late. He stopped just an arm away from where Wei Yi Yi stood.
"What exactly---... One moment, there's something itchy on my foot," Jiang Liu said and bend down.
What comes next is a shriek so high, Wei Yi Yi learns a guy can actually reach a girl's pitch.
"Jiang---"
"Aaaahhh!!!!"
"---Liu..."
"Aaaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!"
Wei Yi Yi's voice didn't reach his ears at all with how loud he screams.
"What are they?!! Why are they so many?!! This is a whole troop! Is this what nightmares are made of?! Mother! They're climbing into my leeeeggggg!!!!!" Jiang Liu kept shouting his throat dry.
He stomped his feet forcefully on the ground. Then jumped multiple times with him looking quite mad. He totally turned desperate to get rid of them.
In this rocky streambank, Jiang Liu little toe end up hitting a bulging stone with all the movement he did.
Jiang Liu, "!!!!!!!!"
That hurts so much, he wasn't even able to speak.
There are some people who are lucky. And Jiang Liu is definitely not one of them.
"Wow. Nice one! So much for being the emergency rescuer!" Wei Yi Yi facepalmed.
The rescuer looks like the one who needed the help most!
Bitting his lower lips and enduring the crawling pain, Jiang Liu, in his exasperation, slapped the remaining black dots on his leg.
A loud 'pah!' ring into their ears and there's now a bright red hand mark on Liu Wang's milky white skin.
Bai Huo mouth hangs open while Bai Shui stared with bulging eyes.
They are starting to notice how often they lost their breath and their heart stopping. And it's all in the same day!
This is scarily stressful.
Tang Mei, "..."
When Jiang Liu raised his palm, multiple dead corpses were stuck in there with their body fluid surrounding their now flat bodies.
Jiang Liu is panicking so much in his head, he could hear echoes of his cries. Still, after experiencing so much hysteria, his face resembles that of calm water.
"That's disgusting," Wei Yi Yi said and Jiang Liu started stepping back away.
"Where are you going?" Wei Yi Yi said doubtfully.
"Absolutely abandoning this place. I'm going to scrub myself clean until I wipe away this memory as well."
Wei Yi Yi pointed at the mother spider whose laying upside down as if pretending they don't exist and still popping out babies. "What about this?"
Jiang Liu just stares at it.
"What are staring for?! Do something!"
Jiang Liu closed his eyes.
"We don't solve problems by pretending it does not exist!"
"I can try!" Jiang Liu finally replied.
"You can't! So do something!"
"Maybe it'll go away after a while..."
"No, get it away now!"
"You can circle around them," Jiang Liu suggested despite seeing them almost surrounded.
Tang Mei tried interrupting the two. "This... this servant will face it instead for your majesty!"
Everyone turned their head to her. Tang Mei was forcing herself to look calm but failing on it.
"That would be ideal---"
Wei Yi Yo sharply interjects. "Jiang Liu! I swear to all the gods that I can name; if you don't do something now, I'll do something about you later!"
This brat actually want to sacrifice her Ah Mei!
"Don't also try to pass the responsibilities to the twins!" Wei Yi Yi added.
"Somehow, hearing it from you is irking," Jiang Liu said with a face of defeat.
For his first action, Jiang Liu took the branch he was holding before. And with the brightest idea he could fart out from his brain, poke the belly of the mother spider.
Mother spider wiggled...
Then burst out more babies...
Surrounded is now an understatement in their situation. The black mist spread everywhere.
Just how much a spider can give birth to?!!!! Mother nature, this is cheating!!!!
"Jiang Liu I can clearly see you running away! Come back here traitor!"
Wei Yi Yi removed her boot and snipped Jiang Liu. Too bad, the brat is just so good at dodging.
"I'll snitch you to Boss!"
Tang Mei supported her head with her hand. This is getting more and more ridiculous.
"This servant will carry the empress down," Bai Huo said bravely. She kept gazing away though.
"Maybe we can run swiftly across in tiptoes?" Bai Shui suggested with squinted eyes.
In the end, no one was brave enough to step on the ground and risk the little babies going inside their clothes.
If only that btch is not popping out little satans, Wei Yi Yi will simply pick it up with chopstick and throw it into oblivion.
After so much stressing about it, Jiang Liu removed his outer robes, submerge it on water and wring it. Water rain down over the spiders and they run in all directions in panic.
This scared Jiang Liu away again and he almost trips.
He did this multiple times until a wet path shows up and the four were able to escape.
They left the scene and never looked back.
"All of that just for a freaking spider," Wei Yi Yi complains.
"You don't get the right to complain when I'm the one who did all the work!"
