Chapter 482: Oh, Look at Those Eight Legs, It’s a Spider Spirit!

Bai Wei entered the room and casually closed the door.

"Let’s have a chat," he sat next to the fire pit.

"You can speak freely, young master," the female herb gatherer appeared obedient in attitude and expression.

"Alright, I’ll get straight to the point. I’m here to bring warmth," Bai Wei said seriously, "You can understand it as me helping to alleviate poverty."

"Alleviate poverty…?"

"Assisting those in need," Bai Wei explained, "Isn’t that straightforward enough?"

The female herb gatherer pretended to not understand and said, "Are you saying that you want to give me money?"

"Almost."

"How much?" she immediately asked.

"?" Bai Wei was confused. "You should ask about the benefits. Young people shouldn’t be so eager to ask about money. Is money the only reason you live?"

…I’m not sure if it’s for money that people live, but without money, life is definitely difficult.

The female herb gatherer maintained her composure and asked, "What exactly is this money?"

"It’s about poverty alleviation. There’s a basic principle – if we help you up, you must stand on your own." Bai Wei explained.

"Are you saying that I need to give something in return?"

"Exactly."

"But what can I, a weak woman, offer?" she softly said, "Even my legs are broken."

"Isn’t it just one leg that’s broken?" Bai Wei responded dismissively, "You still have other legs."

… What did you say?

The female gatherer of herbs felt disdain in her heart towards this capitalist behavior, but she put on a bitter smile, pretending to be pitiful.

"Sir, feel free to tell me what you need me, a simple farmer’s daughter, to do. All I have left is my body."

"A healthy body, that’s what I need. To work physically and earn money, without feeling ashamed," Bai Wei desired these words.

The female herb gatherer squinted her eyes, gradually approaching with indirect hints, her smile becoming more alluring, "Are you saying… that you are interested in my body, sir?"

Bai Wei no longer beat around the bush, "Since you understand, I’ll be direct. I’ll provide the money, and you provide the labor."

"Uh… well…"

Inside, the female herb gatherer frowned, finding this poverty alleviation method surprising.

Are you really trying to help the poor? Or are you just trying to satisfy your own desires? Is this an exchange of goods and money? How noble of you! How lowly I am!

There’s no choice, only those who are sold are considered lowly, while those who buy are the masters.

However, the female herb gatherer didn’t really care about this aspect. For some monsters, the concept of chastity was practically non-existent.

She wasn’t human, after all. She trained daily, absorbed the essence of the sun, and even engaged in more intense activities. She was open to it all and even expressed a willingness to intensify.

Since this person wasn’t afraid of death and wanted to deal with monsters, she would let him experience the dangers of the martial world and the toxicity of perfumes.

She had to maintain a certain level of restraint on the surface, saying, "But, isn’t this too promiscuous? I am not that kind of person."

Bai Wei continued to persuade her, saying, "I have always respected the working class. As long as you are willing to be open and honest, I will not discriminate against you. I guarantee that the other members of the caravan will also not discriminate against you. What do you say?"

The female herb gatherer gritted her teeth and asked, "Does it have to be today?"

The young man asked, "Can we discuss this later?"

The woman who gathers herbs took a deep breath and thought, "Since you’re in such a hurry to die, I won’t wait any longer. Watch me drain you of every last drop!"

"…I can’t." She looked embarrassed and said, "Then please be kind, sir."

"You have to figure that out for yourself."

"What? Do I have to do it myself?"

"Well, what else? If you don’t move, should I move? If I move, how can I count that you’ve done the work?" Bai Wei looked at her with a confused and innocent gaze.

"But this kind of thing, I’m completely inexperienced and unfamiliar with it."

"Practice makes perfect. It’s only natural to be unfamiliar at first. The first time, you might lose control early and exhaust yourself, but I’ll do my best to help you control it. After that, you have to take it slowly on your own."

The woman who gathers herbs heard the message from the green spider, "Do you want me to bite him?"

The female herb gatherer laughed coldly in her mind and said, "Excuse me, sister, please step aside. I can do it myself."

The green spider sighed and said, "Then I’ll wait under the bed, you hurry up…"

The female herb gatherer thought to herself, "I hope this bed is of decent quality."

She pretended to be shy, then slowly unbuttoned one of her shirt buttons, revealing her fair shoulder and collarbone. "My legs are not very convenient, I hope you will show some mercy, sir…"

The female herb gatherer’s eyes sparkled with a tempting pink light. She was indeed a little hungry. She couldn’t resist taking a bite or two of the food that was offered to her to satisfy her hunger.

Among animals, there are cases of cannibalism. After praying mantises mate, the female will bite off the male’s head; similarly, female black widow spiders will eat the males… not to mention monsters and humans.

Genuine fox spirits who repay kindness are rare, and many of them are just looking for a reward while also tricking others into eating and drinking. Scholars who encounter beautiful female demons in mountain temples are often used as living materials to replenish Yin energy. The process may be lustful, but the ending is often tragic, far from being a beautiful story… Unless one’s personal strength is extraordinary, there is no hope of crossing the boundaries between species.

Of course, Bai Wei kept this a secret.

He placed one hand on the female herb gatherer’s shoulder, looking confused and puzzled. "What are you trying to do?"

The female plant collector froze and blinked her eyes, saying, "Isn’t Young Master Bai supposed to help the poor? I want to repay with real work!"

"Why are you taking off your clothes as a form of repayment?"

"Since you mentioned being honest, I thought being completely naked would be honest enough."

Bai Wei replied, "Can’t we discuss this later?"

"Shouldn’t we deal with it now instead?"

"？"

"？"

The human and the creature looked at each other for a moment, and a subtle misunderstanding arose from each other’s hesitation and pause.

Bai Wei confidently took a step back and said, "I think you have some misunderstanding. I am not that kind of person… I truly never thought of, nor would I seek you… and there’s no need to use this kind of method, as if forcing the pure pool to become a prostitute."

The girl’s eyes twitched, and she took a step back with a serious expression. What else do you want to say after we’ve been talking so nicely? Misunderstanding? Is it because my appearance isn’t good enough for you to criticize me?

"Are you going back on your word?" The girl’s expression turned cold, and she started to lose patience. Hunger was starting to control her thoughts.

"It’s not about going back on my word, but I think we need to clarify the misunderstanding between us."

"Clarify, huh?" The girl licked her lips. "We can…clarify it slowly…in bed."

"I don’t want to."

"You have to." The girl stood up, and her broken leg didn’t seem to affect her walking at all. "We’ve talked and been honest with each other. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to just walk out unscathed, would it?"

"What do you want then?"

"I want to taste you." The girl giggled. "You were so eager just now, why are you hesitating now?"

"The kind of work I’m talking about is not this kind of work. Although this kind of work can also help you escape poverty, it’s ultimately illegal." Bai Wei said seriously. "Put on some clothes and be a decent person."

The female woman who collects herbs sneered and said, "Do you think you have a choice? I am not human."

She stopped pretending and showed her cards.

We’ve talked it out to this point, do you still think it’s a misunderstanding? If you say it is, I say it’s not. Today, don’t even think about leaving through this door standing up!

The pink mist floated, revealing six colorful spider legs beneath her dress.

With eight legs, she was a spider monster.

Bai Wei wasn’t nervous at all, instead, he looked at her spider legs.

"Seeing it with my own eyes, it really does have four pairs of good legs."

The female herb gatherer was taken aback. She didn’t expect him to suddenly compliment her. Feeling embarrassed, she thought to herself… Oh, having good legs and all… I know my legs are indeed beautiful, without any thorns, smooth and neat.

"Sir, doesn’t that make me even more excited? I really want to suck you dry."

She licked her lips and said, "I promise to take you to paradise."

Bai Wei shook his head politely and declined, "No need, thank you."

"It’s not up to you, young master." The female herb gatherer blew out a pink mist, filling the room with a magical aura. Spider silk wrapped around Bai Wei’s hands and feet.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Didn’t the young master just threaten me?" The spider spirit giggled.

"I was only trying to be reasonable, but it seems that my efforts have led to a reverse distancing." Bai Wei said, "In that case…"

With a playful smile, the female herb gatherer asked, "What do you think?"

Bai Wei replied calmly, "I won’t reason with you either."

A colorful tiger swiped its paw, causing the spider woman to fall to the ground and become immobilized. The magic dissipated into nothingness.

The female gatherer looked up and saw a fierce tiger licking its teeth. Her voice immediately became trembling and gentle, "I will help, no need for money."
