Chapter 2278 — So That Was It
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The little spider naturally knew that Wei Zhao was one of those who had helped find it, so it did not resist. It merely listened to Wei Zhao's words, some doubt in its heart—but the next moment, a warm current surged from Wei Zhao's palm into its body, astonishing the little spider greatly!
And its injuries, at a speed it could actually feel, were recovering as if by magic... truly recovering!
The Heaven-tier Spider was no fool either. Seeing its son's injuries healing, the way it looked at Wei Zhao grew even more admiring and grateful... This human cultivator really was different from the rest!
As for Sun Jingyan and the Thunder Pig, they wore calm expressions—especially the Thunder Pig. Though its strength was no match for the Heaven-tier Spider and it dared not openly provoke it, it still eyed the creature with a look of great smugness.
"Done." Wei Zhao stood up briskly and said.
"It's done just like that?" The Heaven-tier Spider stared wide-eyed. It had seen the little spider's injuries improving, but surely they could not be healed this fast? Wasn't this speed a little too astonishing?
But Wei Zhao did not answer; the little spider's actions answered for him. The little spider could now move and walk normally, and it looked as though it had never been injured at all.
"Thank you, human cultivator!" The Heaven-tier Spider had been grateful to Wei Zhao before, but that did not mean it had harbored no misgivings at all! Wei Zhao's friendship with the Fire Lion Clan had made it somewhat uncomfortable. But now, it no longer cared whether Wei Zhao was friendly with the Fire Lion Clan or not, for Wei Zhao had shown the Spider Clan an incomparable kindness. "You have done our Spider Clan a kindness as vast as heaven, and my son and I will never forget it. Should you ever have need of us in the future, just say the word!"
Wei Zhao shrugged. The Fire Lion Clan had made him a similar promise, and now the Spider Clan had made one too—only these two spirit beast clans were sworn enemies, which gave Wei Zhao something of a headache.
But he did not want to meddle in their feud. Two tigers cannot share one mountain—everyone understood that. Especially with cultivation resources for spirit beasts so scarce, there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two clans. Getting them to sit down and split resources evenly seemed a very difficult thing indeed.
"Are you worrying over the relationship between our Spider Clan and the Fire Lion Clan?" The Heaven-tier Spider seemed to have read Wei Zhao's thoughts, and so it asked.
"Indeed. Now you all count as my friends," Wei Zhao nodded and said.
"Spirit beasts in the same mountain range, competing with one another—that is entirely normal. It has been so since ancient times," the Heaven-tier Spider explained with a smile. "Only where competition exists can our two clans keep developing and cultivating. If cultivation resources really were split evenly, life would grow easy, and we would no longer train so diligently..."
Hearing the Heaven-tier Spider's words, Wei Zhao was somewhat surprised. So that was the reason! (To be continued) RQ
