Someone's Coming—They're Stealing My Stuff!
Although Annie didn't approve of a certain Spider Demon's behavior, the Fourth Zhu Sister, who was sneaking after Tibbers and had followed him all the way to a cliff on the outskirts of Lanxi Village, clearly felt differently.
At that moment, the cliff outside Lanxi Village was bathed in the sunset's glow, which cast a golden sheen over the verdant mountains. A breeze drifted by, carrying the fresh scent of bamboo leaves.
Tibbers stood alone at the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance with a pensive look. The setting sun stretched his shadow long, making it seem as if he had become one with the world around him.
Of course, Tibbers wasn't deliberately trying to look profound!
The thing was, he didn't like any of the food at Lanxi Village's banquet. It wasn't that he disliked only a few dishes—he disliked every single one!
So, seeing how annoying he looked, Annie had kicked him out so he wouldn't spoil her appetite. She'd told him to find somewhere far away to wait until she'd finished eating before coming back.
And so!
Tibbers had obediently come here, planning to stay for an hour or two before returning. He had no other reason, and he wasn't nearly as melancholy as he appeared. He simply thought it was cooler and quieter here. That was all.

Just then, the Fourth Zhu Sister quietly approached from afar, her steps light, as if she were afraid of disturbing Tibbers.
She didn't dare approach him recklessly. Instead, she stopped some distance away and stared blankly at his back, a complicated look rising in her eyes.
Anyone who took a closer look would have seen that it held affection, gratitude, resentment, regret, and many other feelings too hard to put into
