NOVPUBEly wondered why the burgundy spider demon clung to the silk egg sac. She tugged at it, and it clutched the silk desperately.
"..." Gabriella examined the big silk cocoon more closely.
She couldn’t peer deeper because the silk layers got in the way. Her spiritual sense got disturbed. So, she had no idea what might be hidden in it.
Her master took it because it was suspected to be the silk egg sac of countless spider demons’ eggs. Her master wished to raise spider demons for their silk.
"How about we look inside this silk cocoon, master?" Gabriella proposed an idea.
"Hmm, good." Ely released the burgundy spider demon and then used her Sacred Vision.
As far as she could remember, she also had not checked the contents of this big silk cocoon. This one was wrapped in special silk threads, unlike the other cobweb sacs with the prey inside. That was why she regarded this one as the silk egg sac.
"!!!" Ely gasped when she found a stark naked white-haired lady inside the silk cocoon.
That lady was clearly a demon, and four pairs of burgundy spider legs were on that lady’s back. Those sturdy spider legs look like weapons because of their sharp edges.
Regarding the spider demon’s human form, that lady truly looked like a human if those spider legs were excluded.
’She may have achieved human transformation almost to perfection, but... she doesn’t breathe, and her heart doesn’t beat! She’s dead!? I thought this silk cocoon contained spider demon’s eggs! Did I accidentally kill her because of acute pesticide last week? Or, she is one of the black spider demon’s prey?’ Ely was worried.
She held the victim’s corpse, and it smelled trouble. Whatever it was, she had to hide the dead body and bury the corpse.
With that thought in mind, she put some soil into her storage pouch, then tossed the silk cocoon inside. After that, she covered it with the soil. It was a temporary grave, and she would give that lady a proper burial later.
"You bastard! Why did you suddenly bury me alive?" The Little Spider Queen cursed in annoyance, but she was buried in soil a moment after.
*Scrape*
Ely’s mini shovel accidentally scraped the silk cocoon, tearing it a bit.
Seeing the opportunity, the Little Spider Queen crawled into the small opening and entered the silk cocoon.
She immediately transferred her soul essence back into her real body. Regardless of what had happened in the past few days, she could finally retrieve her real body.
*Bam*
The Spider Queen ripped the silk cocoon from the inside.
It was a special silk cocoon because her child wished to devour her and didn’t want her to escape. Her clothes were gone, and she was covered with albumen-like white mucus.
Her hand popped out of the temporary grave, gripping the dark knight’s arm tightly.
"Zombie!?" Ely gasped and smacked the zombie-like pale white hand with her mini shovel. However, it wouldn’t let go of her arm.
"!?" Gabriella was curious about what her master was doing. Yet, she immediately moved when her master’s arm was grabbed by a pale hand from inside the storage pouch.
"Stop it, you bastard! That hurts. I’m still alive. Ugh..." The Spider Queen crawled out of the grave. She pulled the dark knight’s arm for her to get out of the storage pouch.
*Thud*
Ely and Gabriella pulled the spider lady out.
"???" Ely glanced at Gabriella, but her disciple was just as clueless.
She then glanced at the spider lady’s hand. It got scratched by her panicked mini-shovel attack. Feeling guilty, she healed it secretly.
"Huff... Uhh..." The Spider Queen was panting heavily and sat on the ground, clutching the dark knight’s arm. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
She was still suffering from qi exhaustion and was running out of spiritual energy because of the previous betrayal. She had forgotten about it and was currently offering her helpless naked body to the possible enemy.
She fell into a dangerous situation. This dark knight demon was cruel and powerful. He could do anything as he pleased to her helpless Spider Queen body now.
’I’m screwed.’ The Spider Queen paled.
She didn’t know why she had come to this rash decision. She wanted to beat this dark knight demon the moment she was buried. She also wanted to run away immediately for safety, but her 8th Rank strength was useless in her current state.
Ely then crouched down to observe the other party more clearly. This spider lady was truly like a human if she ignored those spider legs.
The spider lady has silky white hair, red and blue heterochromia eyes, but super pale white skin like a corpse. Also, covered in a lot of mucus...
The spider lady suffered severe qi exhaustion, but this lady’s gaze and expression looked like a desperate little animal.

Ely checked the spider lady’s status screen. She was just about to speak, but someone’s arrival interrupted her.
Skyla and Daphne came out from behind the bushes. They were about to lurk in secret but were shocked and covered their mouths by reflex.
Their young lord did something indecent to his wife out in the open. They were a step too late to witness the deed. That white-haired devil was already stark naked and covered in indecent liquids, panting heavily and no longer had the strength to stand up.
"You, you, you... how indecent! Pervert. Even though Lady Sylvi is your wife, at least don’t do the deed out in the open!" Skyla was flustered and spat out whatever came to her mind.
Yet, she immediately covered her mouth and fled the scene in embarrassment. "Ah, I didn’t see anything!"
"I’m sorry, my young lord, Young Demon God! We were worried because you went into the dark forest sneakily. But we don’t mean to peek at you." Daphne apologized with a polite bow before running off after Skyla.
"..." Ely didn’t know what to say. Another misunderstanding unfolded when she hadn’t even said or done anything.
She went to the dark forest with an active anti-detection item. However, she left a temporary mark so Skyla would know she was leaving. She wished to handle that nightmare demoness’ problem privately first.
’This is troublesome... I should abandon this young lord or Young Demon God’s identity. I can still send the Young Demon God’s identity to ascend to the upper realm and let this misunderstanding grow old with time.’ Ely sighed, then looked at the spider lady.
"Could you let go of my hand? I want to know why you ended up in that silk cocoon. Tell me your situation." Ely felt a bit curious.
"I-" The Spider Queen tried to stand up and run away, but her body was still vulnerable. Her legs were also shaking.
She never thought the repercussions would be this big. Her body had not yet recovered from the qi exhaustion, and her spiritual energy was depleted.
Not to mention, she had just transferred her soul essence to her real body. It put a burden on her soul.
She felt a little nauseous, and the world seemed to spin. She fell into the dark knight’s arms.
"..." The Spider Queen stared at the dark knight demon with a desperate, terrified gaze as she was extremely frightened.
Even so, she finally gave up. Before she passed out, she punched the dark knight’s chest. However, she didn’t have much energy left, and it became like a desperate silent plea instead.
"Alright, I’ll figure it out later. For now, close your eyes and sleep. I mean no harm." Ely put her hand on the spider lady’s face and closed the lady’s eyes.
"..." The Spider Queen passed out. However, she felt incredibly comfortable with energy flowing into her body. She didn’t feel so scared or threatened anymore.
Because of that, her survival instincts didn’t kick in, and she passed out in serenity.
Gabriella took out a cloak and helped her master wrap the spider lady’s body with it. Nevertheless, she still had no idea what had just happened.
"Huff..." Ely heaved a sigh of relief, then put the spider lady into her storage pouch. She also set up a recovery formation with four tier-4 spirit stones as the cores for the spider lady.
Whatever the situation, she couldn’t leave this vulnerable lady alone in the dark forest alone. Moreover, the spider lady previously stared at her with that desperate yet frightened gaze. Something terrible must have happened.
"The spider lady may have fallen prey to the thousands of spider demons I accidentally exterminated with an acute pesticide last week." Ely told her disciple that was the only sensible thing she could think of.
"Ah-uhm..." Gabriella nodded in understanding.
After that, Ely took out the torn spider cocoon. The burgundy spider was nowhere to be seen, and she failed to notice when it left.
It probably got what it wanted from the silk cocoon and ran away when the spider lady came out of the storage pouch.
"What do you think of these silk threads? These come from spider demons. I intended to raise them for their silk, but no spider demon’s eggs are here. What a pity." Ely groped at the silk with a feeling of loss.
"It’s okay, master. This silk has an anti-peeping effect. We can’t peer inside it easily, and it’s hard to tear. A top-tier raw material. If you want a silk factory, the Guardian of Dream will build one soon. We will get the best materials from the silkworms from the Northern Realm and spider demons from the Demon Realm." Gabriella pinched the silk thread with her fingers.
She then reassured her master as she could see a hidden meaning behind her master’s statement.
They would also need a high-end clothing factory for their future necessity. After thinking it over, the Guardian of Dream’s members didn’t have an official uniform outfit yet!
They only had Versatile Slime artifacts for slime outfits. They would need to dominate the fashion industry soon.
