Xu Ye sat by the entrance and reached out to catch a snowflake.
A chill spread across his palm.
"Meow... humans are terrifying..." Alice eyed Xu Ye warily. "You deliberately made Qin Feng expose a weakness so they would notice him, then had him use Shadow Sneaking to reveal a trace of the Goddess of Gloom's aura. Speaking of which, since when did my Shadow Sneaking become exclusive to the Goddess of Gloom?"
"That's beside the point."
"Then you had Little Green Head unleash Upper Respiratory Infection. It was formed from a wisp of the Child of Calamity's aura in the first place."
Alice planted one hand on her hip and pointed at Xu Ye with the other.
"Shadow Spiders are naturally wary. The more careful it was, the easier it became for it to fall into your trap. Their kind hates anything unexpected."
"But you gave it two false impressions in a row, causing it to misjudge the situation."
"Then you had Zhou Fanghua and his wife use the power of illusions to invade Yun Changeng's mind from a distance. While he was panicking, they planted suggestions in his mind to guide him here."
"Faced with an unknown danger and urged on by the Shadow Spider, he had no time to think things through before falling for your trick."
"A-Ye, you've got enough schemes in that head for eight hundred people."
Xu Ye said casually,
"Bandit Lord, Alice is insulting you."
The Bandit Lord snorted. "Don't drag me into this. What are you going to do next? Judging by that conversation, if I'm not mistaken, that Shadow Spider is Sophia, the demigod who worships the Mother Nest and is known as the Shadow Being."
"Her strength hasn't recovered, but she definitely won't be easy to deal with."
Xu Ye
