Su Hongxiu, Shen Guili, and the others all stared at the Spider Empress. They had probably already guessed that the demons Ye Kang had killed were her subordinates.
Ye Kang himself felt a chill seep through him. That Old Spider seemed furious.
But the Spider Empress soon looked away and spoke languidly. "What a lively gathering. Why didn't you three tell us you were coming? We had to search all over for you."
