Luo Qi took a step back with a hint of disgust, retracting the fat spider he was holding. He pointed at the insects still crawling around in the elevator.
"Where did you find those bugs?"
Lei Wa wiped the tears from his face. "On the mountain behind the school. There's a large forest there."
Luo Qi looked at Ye Mu, who nodded. "Besides snakes, insects, rats, and ants, that forest is home to many small beasts. The school uses that forest to test students."
Luo Qi nodded and looked back at Lei Wa. "Then find a box, put them all in, and return them to the forest on the mountain."
Lei Wa's lips trembled, and his gaze towards the elevator was filled with fear. But he glanced at the spider in Luo Qi's hand, swallowed, and headed towards the elevator.
A Ming and A Liang, supporting each other, stood up and walked over to Lei Wa, helping him put the snakes and insects into a cardboard box.
Luo Qi, holding the spider, intended to put it into the box as well.
All those snakes and insects were wild. They lived well in that forest, but Lei Wa had captured them for a prank, and Ye Mu had even stepped on a few.
The spider, however, suddenly extended its eight long legs and wrapped them around Luo Qi's finger.
Looking ferocious, as if it would immediately spit out poisonous silk to bind its prey without hesitation, the fat spider in Luo Qi's hand was as docile as a small butterfly, resting obediently on his hand.
Luo Qi was a little surprised. "You don't want to go back?"
Of course, the spider couldn't speak, but it tightened its grip on his finger.
Ye Mu tutted and reached out to take the spider from Luo Qi's hand. "I don't know if this spider is clean or poisonous, it's better to put it back."
Fat Spider: Ծ‸Ծ
Having two legs myself, I really dislike this tall person. His words are also annoying.
You're not clean! Your whole family isn't clean!
It extended a long leg towards Ye Mu, its leg hairs bristling.
Luo Qi found it amusing. This spider seemed to be no ordinary insect; it appeared to understand the conversation between him and Ye Mu.
He placed the plump spider in his palm and asked again, "Do you want to follow me? If so, crawl towards me. If not, crawl towards him."
He pointed in Ye Mu's direction and then watched the spider in his hand intently.
The round, fat spider, with its round eyes, ran towards Luo Qi's direction without any hesitation, seemingly eager to shed its undocumented status and become a pet spider with a family.
Luo Qi squinted and smiled, extending a finger to stroke the spider's long leg. This fat spider, which had looked a bit fierce and terrifying at first glance, was quite cute when it lay obediently in his hand.
"Alright, alright. From now on, you are my Luo Qi's spider. I need to give you a name. Hmm... how about Fat Spider? Fat Spider..."
Fat Spider clung tightly to one of Luo Qi's fingers, appearing completely content with its owner. Luo Qi was also happy to have found such an intelligent and fierce spider as a pet.
If anyone was unhappy, it was Ye Mu, who had been left aside.
Ye Mu watched the fawning spider with cold eyes, tutted impatiently, and muttered softly, "How can there be such a shameless spider?"
Seeing the spider crawling up and trying to get close to Luo Qi's face, Ye Mu quickly blocked its movement and said coldly,
"Even as a pet, it was caught from the wild. It still needs to be disinfected."
Luo Qi nodded, took down the Fat Spider that was about to touch his face, and gently squeezed its leg. "I'll take you to the infirmary for disinfection."
Fat Spider: ∑(〟〇o〇) That sounds terrifying!
Luo Qi first put the Fat Spider in his pocket and supervised Lei Wa, A Ming, and A Liang as they put all the snakes and insects into the box. Only after they swore in the name of the gods to return the little creatures did he nod with satisfaction.
Luo Qi very seriously educated the spoiled brat, using the fox's might to tell him that if he pulled such a prank again, he would have Ye Mu kick his butt.
Lei Wa had A Ming and A Liang shield him, and he nodded vigorously from behind them, looking wronged.
Finally, after seeing off the two terrifying figures, Luo Qi and Ye Mu, Lei Wa breathed a sigh of relief. He held the cardboard box and, trembling, walked towards the elevator.
A Ming pursed his lips, his eyes bruised, and his mouth also broken. "Young master, I... I wasn't prepared, that's why I was defeated by that human. I will definitely train hard when I get back, next time..."
Lei Wa raised his hand to stop him. "Ah, stop, stop." His eyes were red from crying, and he sniffled. "My divine father told me to have wisdom, or something like that."
A Liang said expressionlessly, "It's self-awareness, young master."
He seemed a little embarrassed but still straightened his neck and said, "Of course, I know! Besides, I already promised those two, so how can I go back on my word?
How did you two find these bugs, and why are there poisonous ones?"
Lei Wa pursed his lips. He really just wanted to play a prank and didn't intend for anything to happen. Talking about compensation was just him speaking carelessly under the interrogation of Luo Qi and Ye Mu.
A Ming scratched his head sheepishly. "Young master, I didn't know the insects in the forest on the mountain were poisonous."
Lei Wa rubbed his head, making a few strands of hair stand on end. "This is such a disgrace, it's too annoying!"
Lei Wa kicked the small stones on the road and led A Ming and A Liang towards the mountain.
Along the way, people kept looking at their group with surprise, curiously sizing up his tear-reddened eyes and the injuries on A Ming and A Liang's faces.
Lei Wa, annoyed, led A Ming and A Liang down a small path, avoiding the people on the main road who kept staring at him.
Fortunately, the path from the dormitory building to the small forest on the mountain wasn't far, and they soon reached the entrance of the forest.
Lei Wa squatted down and placed the cardboard box on the ground. Suddenly, he heard laughter.
Lei Wa looked in the direction of the sound. A child, also wearing a first-year uniform, was leaning against a tree.
The child's face was pale, but his lips were crimson. Leaning in the shade of the tree, he looked somewhat gloomy.
"The legendary son of a god, the next God of Strength under the Giant Star, turns out to be a little brat who gets cried on by humans?"
Lei Wa's face turned red. "Who are you? How do you know what just happened?"
The person leaning against the tree lowered his arms and walked two steps towards Lei Wa. A Ming and A Liang immediately shielded Lei Wa behind them.
So, the person stopped in place and said, "Don't you want revenge? They bullied you, mocked you like this.
I can help you."
