No Mistake, Right? This Little Spider Is a Beast Emperor?

The next day.

Not long after Qin Yang arrived at the library, the manager, Jiang Tao, gathered all the staff on the first floor for a meeting.

The reason for the meeting was naturally yesterday's unlucky uncle.

Qin Yang also learned what had happened to the unlucky uncle afterward.

The good news was that the uncle was still alive.

The bad news was that he had become a vegetable.

The hospital's diagnosis was that he had been afflicted with Deadly Poison.

After examination, the hospital determined that the unlucky uncle had likely been bitten by some kind of poisonous insect.

The poison within this insect was extremely potent. If that uncle had not possessed some cultivation, he would likely have already gone to see the King of Hell.

Given the circumstances, the unlucky uncle had probably been bitten by the poisonous insect while reading in the library.

Upon hearing this news, everyone's expressions became grave.

There were poisonous insects hidden in the library?

Wouldn't they end up just like that unlucky uncle if they were bitten by one? Even Qin Yang's expression turned ugly at the thought.

Why did he like working in the library?

Nothing more than the fact that it was peaceful and stress-free.

And now he was being told that even staying in the library carried the risk of death.

This was practically leaving him no way to live! These days, was it really impossible to find a place to just peacefully slack off?

A moment later, the meeting ended, and the manager assigned everyone tasks in response to the matter.

A complete deep clean! The poisonous insects had to be rooted out!

Clearly, the unlucky uncle's poisoning had brought considerable negative publicity to the library.

The higher-ups had issued a strict order: the problem had to be resolved quickly.

Such an incident absolutely could not happen again! "Qin Yang, help me take a look. Do I have a Sign of impending doom?"

After the meeting, Xia He asked Qin Yang.

"?"

Qin Yang looked at Xia He in confusion.

Xia He said pitifully, "I got beaten again last night."

The unlucky uncle had met with trouble in Xia He's Area 2, so as the administrator, Xia He naturally could not escape responsibility.

Although the library had dealt with the problem, accountability still had to be pursued.

Speaking of which, Xia's Father truly was capable.

If something had happened in Qin Yang's Area 1 instead, with no background to speak of, he would probably have been kicked out of the library by now.

After all, someone had to take the blame.

Yet Xia He had returned to work safely and soundly without receiving the slightest punishment.

Clearly, Xia's Father had pulled strings behind the scenes.

Still, Xia He had not gotten off entirely without punishment.

Judging from his utterly lifeless expression, it was obvious that he had once again experienced the tender comfort of paternal love yesterday.

"Look on the bright side. You should be glad you weren't the one who got bitten," Qin Yang could not help but console him.

"Uh..."

Xia He froze for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Qin Yang, you're right. Good thing I wasn't the one who got bitten."

Thinking of the unlucky uncle's fate, Xia He instantly felt a chill run down his spine.

"If I got bitten, wouldn't those young ladies at Bai Jin Han lose a huge amount of business?"

"They're already so pitiful. I have to preserve this useful body of mine and help them properly."

Qin Yang: "..."

You really are such a kind person.

I'll draw a circle and curse your kidneys to get cut out! Qin Yang turned and left, unwilling to deal with this bastard.

"Hey, Qin Yang, where are you going?"

Qin Yang gritted his teeth. "What else? Deep cleaning!"

Xia He feared death, but Qin Yang treasured his life even more.

During this deep clean, he had to drag out the "poisonous insect" hiding in the library.

Although he was already at the Half-Step to the Innate Realm and the insect might not pose much of a threat to him.

Still, better safe than sorry.

When it came to this unknown poisonous insect, Qin Yang naturally had to do everything he could to eradicate it.

A moment later, Qin Yang and Xia He collected insecticide, Ant Poison, and other supplies from the manager before heading to their respective areas.

This deep clean was specifically aimed at the lurking poisonous insects, so naturally, it could not be finished with a simple round of cleaning.

The key was exterminating insects and ants! For the sake of his own life, even the usually unreliable Xia He was extremely serious this time. With insecticide in hand, he carefully disinfected Area 2.

He strove to clean every corner thoroughly and refused to let a single poisonous insect slip through.

Qin Yang was even more meticulous. He flipped through every secret manual and sprayed insecticide into every blind corner of the bookshelves.

"Phew!"

"I'm exhausted!"

After they finished, Xia He collapsed into a chair with a sigh of relief, then handed Qin Yang a cigarette.

Qin Yang accepted the cigarette, and the two began puffing away.

During the deep clean, Qin Yang had left no stone unturned and ultimately earned the achievement Nine Consecutive Slashes.

However, what puzzled Qin Yang was that neither he nor Xia He had found any spiders.

Thinking of the spider the unlucky uncle had mentioned before falling unconscious yesterday, Qin Yang frowned slightly.

Had he heard wrong?

Where was there any spider here? "Ding, a Beast Emperor has been detected. Host, flee immediately!"

"Warning! Warning!"

"Host, run for your life immediately!"

Just as Qin Yang was feeling doubtful, the system notification suddenly rang out in his mind.

Qin Yang's hand shook in fright. Once he came to his senses, his expression immediately darkened.

Here it came again! This Dog System was acting up again.

Couldn't it give him some warning in advance? Sooner or later, it was going to scare him to death.

Xia He looked at Qin Yang in confusion. "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Yang shook his head, but then his gaze suddenly sharpened as his eyes locked onto the ceiling behind Xia He.

A tiny purple figure swiftly crawled across the ceiling.

A spider!

A purple spider! "Alert! Alert!"

"A Beast Emperor Star Beast, the Purple Soul Demon Spider, has been detected nearby. Host, flee immediately, or there will only be death ahead!"

"Host, leave immediately!"

"Leave this place immediately!"

The instant Qin Yang saw the purple spider, the system's voice rang out again.

Its tone was extremely urgent, unusually panicked and wary.

It was as though if Qin Yang did not leave at once, the only outcome would be death.

"Purple Soul Demon Spider?"

"A Beast Emperor?"

Hearing this somewhat familiar description from the system, Qin Yang immediately thought of the Undying Cockroach from last time.

But Qin Yang did not believe it at all.

This little spider was a Beast Emperor? What kind of joke was that?

That little purple spider did indeed look somewhat different from other spiders.

But if someone claimed it was a terrifying Beast Emperor.

Qin Yang would not believe it even if he were beaten to death.

A Beast Emperor was an existence even those in the Grandmaster Realm dared not provoke.

And the system was telling him it was hiding in this tiny library? That was simply absurd.

Clearly, the system was acting up again.

Suddenly, a screen appeared before Qin Yang's eyes.

Race: Purple Soul Demon Spider (contains the bloodline of an ancient demonic spider)
Level: Emperor-Class

Innate Abilities: Death Spider Poison, Purple Soul Domain
Traits: Purple Soul Demon Spiders are naturally intelligent and enjoy studying human martial arts.

Qin Yang stared at the screen before him and froze.

This little spider really was a Beast Emperor?
