That day, the weather was good and the sun shone brightly. The streets of Beiming’s capital were filled with people.
Han Moze and Liu Rushuang looked majestic as they rode their horses in between their troops, who also wore suits of armor.
“Long live his majesty the emperor, long live her majesty the empress.” The citizens on the streets kneeled and paid their respects.
Standing outside the palace gates, Han Moxi and Qing’er smiled radiantly when they saw Han Moze and Liu Rushuang had returned.
Liu Rushuang entered the Imperial Palace and dismounted.
“Young Miss, you’re back! I missed you so much!” smiled Qing’er, who swiftly walked over and embraced her.
Liu Rushuang stroked Qing’er’s head and smiled faintly. “How have you been lately?”
“Mm good!” Nodded a smiling Qing’Er.
Han Moze and Han Moxi smiled also, as they watched their delighted faces.
Rooarrr…
Duanhu tugged on Han Moze’s clothes in hopes of grabbing his attention.
Han Moze felt a pull on his clothes and couldn’t resist but looking down at Duanhu.
The black and white Duanhu cheerfully looked up at Han Moze with a smile.
Han Moze twitched the corner of his mouth. Was he smiling at him?
Han Moze smiled brightly. “Royal brother, Duanhu has recently learned how to smile like a human. Haha… How interesting!”
They all looked at Duanhu’s smiling face and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Just then, at Sky Mountain in the distant northern lands…
Besides the few thin clouds, the skies were clear and blue.
Yellow Wolf King, Mountain Sheep King, and Black Cat Queen walked over to a snowy area and suddenly all came to a stop.
Yellow Wolf King squinted his wolf-like eyes and snarled, “That Blue Spider’s definitely down there.”
Mountain Sheep King looked down at the snowy ground and heard what Yellow Wolf King had said before he coldly grunted in his croaky, old voice, “That’s what you said a few days ago, but in the end, there was nothing!”
Black Cat put her two cat claws on her claws in front of her chest and smiled flirtatiously. “The two of you, quit always fighting! For the past few days, we’ve almost searched the entire mountain, apart from this snowy patch of land. Who knows, he could really be under here!”
Yellow Wolf King spoke hostilely to the King Mountain Fox.
Mountain Sheep King glared equally ruthlessly back at Yellow Wolf King.
“Why do you both argue every day? Our priority right now is to quickly save King Blue Spider! Hurry up and make a move!” said Black Cat in a piercingly cold voice.
Yellow Wolf King gritted his teeth at Mountain Sheep King, then flipped a few complex moves. With two palms in the air, he furiously attacked the snowy ground.
Craccccckkk…
Suddenly, countless cracks formed on the snowy ground.
Mountain Sheep King thrust a palm at the ground, causing the white snow to abruptly fly everyone. The cracks in the ground widened.
Then, Yellow Wolf King thrust another palm down.
Mountain Sheep King followed after him.
After taking turns to repeat this three to four times, the ground shook.
Bam bam bam…
All of a sudden, several thousand giant spiders leapt out from the cracks.
Each one of those spiders were blue and the largest was clearly King Blue Spider.
King Blue Spider was thirty centimeters long and had a pair of small and terrifying, yellow eyes. He had two drooping antennae as hard as giant black poisonous needles, and four sturdy, hairy legs on another side. A clear, black, and oily glow appeared wherever the hair legs touched, his tail area had a poisonous black hook, and his back was curved.
The thousands of blue spiders behind the Black Spider King were slightly smaller than him but looked very similar.
Black Cat saw the Blue Spider King and naturally took a small step back. She hated those blue spiders the most, because of all the poisonous hooks everywhere. However, she couldn’t deny the Blue Spider King was stronger than she was.
Blue Spider King led his thousands of followers, as he walked over to the Yellow Wolf King, Mountain Sheep King, and Black Cat Queen with an emotionless expression on his face.
