Chapter 873: Ghost-Faced Celestial Spiders!
Somewhere in the starry void within the Grand Assembly Arena, a group of Gu God Star disciples huddled together. Their nerves were taut as they watched the scene unfolding before them.
In the center stood Bai Lu, a celestial maiden in a white gown, deftly wrapping a luminous cloth around a young boy’s head, covering his eyes. The fabric shimmered with an otherworldly glow, casting faint reflections on their anxious faces.
Once she secured the cloth, Bai Lu exhaled deeply and turned to address the gathered disciples, “With the Rebirth Elixir and Spirit Storing Cloth, Lil Ao’s eyes can be saved!”
A collective sigh of relief swept through the nearly 20 disciples, the tension momentarily easing.
But Bai Ao, freshly bandaged, immediately clenched his teeth and growled low, his voice edged with pain and frustration. “I swear on my family’s lives, I didn’t lay eyes on that woman! I have no interest in giants like her. I adore Lil You—small, delicate, and lovely…”
Bai Lu could only shake her head in exasperation. “We get it! Now keep your mouth shut!”
“Sis,” Bai Ao pleaded, his voice breaking, “you have to believe me. Our Grand Assembly might get eliminated, but my reputation must stay intact. Otherwise, how will I explain myself to Lil You? She’ll be furious with me!”
“Bai Ao, one more word and we’ll leave you here,” Bai Lu warned, her patience worn thin.
The boy hesitated, sensing his sister’s genuine anger, and recoiled, his resolve crumbling. Yet, the defiance lingered in his eyes.
