Qian Renxue: Why Did This Spider Silk Glow Brighter the More I Burned It? It Even Has Special Effects?!

Nan Feng looked at the exquisite gift box Qian Renxue held out to him but did not take it. He merely stared at her timidly with those large mismatched eyes.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly and pushed the box a little farther forward.

Nan Feng immediately took half a step back.

Qian Renxue pressed forward another step.

Nan Feng kept backing away.

"Why are you hiding from me?!"

Qian Renxue was getting angry, and her voice rose unconsciously. "I already told you, this is a gift I prepared for you!"

Seeing her lose her temper, the fear in Nan Feng's eyes deepened.

Like a startled little rabbit, he abruptly turned around and ran toward the front hall where the adults had gone, his short little legs pumping wildly.

Qian Renxue was completely dumbfounded.

Again?! Was this little brat addicted to framing her or what?!

Seeing that he was about to run off and complain, Qian Renxue panicked.

Golden light suddenly flashed, and the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul instantly possessed her body!

Though she had not yet reached rank thirty and could neither fully undergo Martial Soul Possession nor truly fly, the Angel Martial Soul's explosive power made it easy for her to leap into the air and dash at low altitude over short distances.

"Whoosh—"

Qian Renxue's wings beat sharply behind her. Like a bolt of golden lightning, she traced an arc through the air, performed a crisp forward flip, and landed squarely in Nan Feng's path.

Seeing his way blocked, Nan Feng seemed terrified. He cried out and plunged headfirst into the dense flowerbeds beside him, hiding himself completely.

Qian Renxue froze in place, her face twisting in exasperation. "No... I didn't even touch you! Why are you running?!"

There was no movement in the flowerbeds.

Looking at the flowerbeds Bibi Dong treasured most, Qian Renxue immediately began to panic.

If this little brat wrecked the place and got himself covered in dirt, then when her mother came back, wouldn't she assume Qian Renxue was bullying him again?!

"Get out here, now!"

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth in anxiety. Ignoring the prohibition, she plunged into the flowerbeds to drag him back out.

But that was harder than climbing to heaven.

Nan Feng was small now, slipping through the flourishing branches like a loach.

Qian Renxue, on the other hand, was not yet nine but, as a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, had already developed nearly to the size of an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl. In these waist-high flowerbeds, she seemed clumsy and burdened instead.

After Nan Feng led her in circles through the flowers a few times, Qian Renxue suddenly stopped dead.

It was not because she could not keep chasing him, but because she discovered in horror that she was trapped!

Only then did she realize that her hands, feet, and even her clothes had somehow become wrapped in dense layers of gleaming Spider Silk!

At first, the silk was soft and transparent, so subtle that she had not noticed it at all. But once it tightened, it revealed a terrifying resilience that drove people to despair!

Most horrifying of all, Qian Renxue could clearly feel the Soul Power inside her rapidly draining away through the Spider Silk!

"Damn it... there's something wrong with this Spider Silk!" Qian Renxue's face turned pale.

Ahead of her, Nan Feng also stopped once she had been trapped.

He poked half his little head out from behind a cluster of peonies, watching her warily and innocently.

"You did this?!" Qian Renxue shouted in frustration. "Let me go!"

Nan Feng blinked but said nothing, as quiet as a simple hunter.

Feeling her Soul Power draining away at high speed, Qian Renxue grew increasingly anxious.

She tried to break free with brute force, but after absorbing her Soul Power, the Spider Silk's toughness and strength surged instantly. It bit tightly into her clothes, and she could not budge it in the slightest!

"You bastard! Let me go!" Qian Renxue was completely panicked.

Nan Feng remained hidden among the flowers, utterly still.

Second by second, the sense of danger in Qian Renxue's heart reached its peak.

She could no longer care whether destroying the flowers would earn her a scolding. If she did not break free, this strange Spider Silk would drain her dry!

"Break!"

With a sharp cry, Qian Renxue unleashed the Six-Winged Angel's Sacred Soul Power without holding anything back!

Dazzling golden light carried terrifying heat as it tried to purify and burn away all the evil around her.

"Hiss, hiss—"

The delicate flowers and grass around her instantly withered under the scorching holy light, blackened, and turned to ash.

Yet then came a scene that shattered Qian Renxue's understanding of the world.

The gleaming Spider Silk tightly wound around her not only failed to snap or melt under the sacred heat, but greedily devoured her Sacred Soul Power like a sponge!

In the blink of an eye, the formerly transparent Spider Silk turned into brilliant pale gold!

Qian Renxue stared blankly at the layer of "glittering golden" webbing around her body, her mind in complete chaos.

What the hell was this thing?!

Hidden behind the peonies, Nan Feng quietly watched Qian Renxue question her entire life inside the pale golden web.

Of course she could not burn it away. Not only could she not burn it away, she could not even use the sacred attribute's innate purification and dissolution effect against it.

This was the source product of his Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor—the Soul-Devouring Spider Silk.

Ever since he had devoured that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Spirit Ring and Evil God Pearl, his Spider Silk had gained an absurd trait: devouring.

When it was first spun, the stuff was soft, transparent, and almost completely without presence.

Unless someone was prepared for it in advance, they would never notice it.

But once it touched prey, it would silently suck away Soul Power like a leech!

The most insidious part was that all the energy strengthening the Spider Silk came from the prey's own Soul Power.

Because their auras shared the same origin, the prey would not notice anything wrong in the early stages of being parasitized.

By the time the prey felt their body being hollowed out and finally realized what was happening, the Spider Silk had long since absorbed its fill of Soul Power, becoming terrifyingly tough and strong!

Trying to tear it apart with brute force, or simply blast it with a burst of Soul Power, would not only fail to free them, but would accelerate the loss of Soul Power and make the Spider Silk tighter and harder!

Other than certain special soul skills, the only way to escape was through slashing or cutting attacks.

But that was only the Soul-Devouring Spider Silk's basic form.

Nan Feng's body had been tempered for years in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

His Spider Silk itself had inherited that extreme resistance. It would not lose its resilience in low temperatures, nor would it be destroyed by high heat.

That was why the high-temperature Soul Power Qian Renxue had just unleashed had not burned through even a single strand.

However, the Sacred Soul Power accompanying Qian Renxue's Angel Martial Soul was, after all, extraordinary top-tier energy.

The original Soul-Devouring Spider Silk would not actually have been able to withstand such energy.

Sacred energy naturally possessed powerful purification and dissolution effects, specifically countering all kinds of evil Soul Power.

Even with its resistance to high temperatures, the Spider Silk would rapidly dissolve beneath this force capable of purifying all darkness in the world.

But Nan Feng now held an immense amount of Evil Divine Power within his body!

The "disguise" effect inherent to Evil Divine Power was no mere visual trick. It was absolute "simulation" at the most fundamental level!

After devouring the Sacred Soul Power Qian Renxue had unleashed, the Soul-Devouring Spider Silk's attributes underwent a qualitative transformation as well.

It directly simulated and disguised itself as the exact same kind—Holy Spider Silk!

Use your Soul Power, turn it into your attribute, then tie you up nice and tight with it.

Surely you could not use a sacred attribute to purify the sacred attribute itself, could you?

So no matter how Qian Renxue sweated in panic, she could only watch in despair as the golden Spider Silk wound tighter and tighter around her.
