-Chwk!

A strand of silk shot out from Yo-hwa’s abdomen, latching onto the cliff near the second entrance of the bottleneck where the people were gathered.

A bridge of spider silk now connected the jagged central rock to the cliffside.

The moment the web was secured, Yo-hwa wrapped her arms around me and immediately began scaling across the thread.

-Ksss! Kshhh! Ksshhit!

Even while climbing, she wouldn’t stop chattering—probably nagging me about something.

If I could translate Yo-hwa’s language, it was likely something along the lines of:

"I’m really upset! I’m telling big sister to scold you properly!"

She was acting like a nagging wife.

And given that she was currently in my senior sister’s form, it really felt like I was getting an earful from my actual wife.

-Chrrrrr!

Even Cho, perched on Yo-hwa’s shoulder, was nodding along as if she understood everything.

Ever since that bite incident, they had been distant, but now it seemed like they were best friends.

‘Yeah, go ahead. Bond over roasting me. If it keeps the peace at home, I’ll gladly take the fall.’

-Ssssshhhh.

With all the nagging in the background, Yo-hwa skillfully crossed the massive, swirling sea of ants below us.

As soon as we descended from the thread, my senior sister was the first to rush over.

"So-ryong! Are you alright? Did the demon ants’ fangs have any venom? I told you not to get hurt and—wait, blood!?"

I wasn’t even that injured, but seeing my wounds made her panic.

Even though my Iron Turtle Technique was still in the early stages, as long as I circulated my internal energy properly, I could prevent serious muscle damage.

My injuries were just minor scrapes, but judging by her reaction, you’d think I had been mortally wounded.

And just as she was fussing over me, I realized that the area around us was growing darker.

I turned my head—

The warriors of the Beast Palace had quietly gathered around us.

At some point, they had completely surrounded us, watching in silent awe.

Just as my senior sister was about to roll up my pant leg to check my injuries, the deep voice of the Beast Palace Lord rang out.@@novelbin@@
