"Mother, you cannot kill him. If my master dies, then I will die as well."
The Cold Nether Spider blocked Chen Changming's path, facing its enraged mother without a hint of fear.
The Spider King fell silent at once.
It understood perfectly well what a contract implied; this human man could end its daughter's life with a single thought.
