Chapter 79

The longing for sunlight and food completely shattered the last bit of hesitation in the Mother Spider's heart.

This extremely voluptuous and beautiful woman, upon learning that she had a chance to enjoy sunlight and eat normal food, stood up with a somewhat agitated emotion and tightly embraced one of Yudou's arms.

"Sir, I am willing to become your subordinate... no, even if I become your slave, I will have no regrets. I only hope that you can fulfill your promise and let me eat normal food and enjoy the warm sunlight."

Only those who truly became demons could understand how precious sunlight and food were.

Take the previous Zhu Shi, for example, after being turned into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji, she painstakingly researched for many years, all to break free from Muzan's curse and become a normal human again.

Even though the characteristics of demons allowed them to maintain an "eternal" state, not everyone desired this "eternity." Life, though short, was something more people wished to live normally.

Clearly, the Mother Spider was one of these people. Even if she knew Yudou might be deceiving her, she was willing to believe in this possibility. Having already been a person with a dead heart, now that she learned she might return to normal, even with just a one percent chance, the Mother Spider wanted to seize it firmly.

Yudou clearly did not expect that the ability to eat normal food and bask in the sun would be so tempting to demons, to the point where the Mother Spider immediately dispelled her previous fear and embraced him.

His arm sank into two astonishingly soft mounds, and even Yudou couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. It had to be said that the Mother Spider was truly well-endowed.

There was a reason she played the role of "mother" in the Spider family. At the very least, with her astonishing bust, she could save a lot of money on baby formula...

"I think you didn't hear me clearly. I don't have the ability to restore you to your original form. I can only help you overcome your weakness to sunlight and eat normal food. As for turning you back into a normal human, even I am powerless."

Yudou's words made the Mother Spider pause briefly, but after a short hesitation, she still hoped Yudou would help her. In exchange, she would become Yudou's subordinate and fight for him from then on.

Although the inability to return to a normal human left the Mother Spider slightly disappointed, being able to eat normal food and enjoy sunlight was already a luxury for her.

Moreover, from the beginning, she had no choice. Either submit to him or die. In any world, in any place, the law of the jungle was an unchanging rule.

Now that Yudou could promise her benefits that other demons couldn't enjoy, it was a kind of blessing for the Mother Spider.

Demons were all transformed from humans. No one liked to gnaw on their former kind. If it weren't for the demons' unique "hunger," most demons probably wouldn't choose such a terrible food.

Of course, some demons gnawed on humans not just to satisfy their "hunger" but also to become stronger. However, the timid Mother Spider did not belong to this type.

Hearing the Mother Spider's unhesitating acceptance of his conditions, Yudou was deeply moved and pretended to take out a large handful of purple crystals from his pocket.

If the other Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps were here, they would recognize these as the "inferior demon power crystals" they had been searching for their lord.

Previously, Yudou had been stingy and always claimed he had no stock of demon power crystals, but this time he took out a large handful.

Although each "inferior demon power crystal" was worth ten reputation points, Yudou had recently accumulated a lot of "reputation points" in the Demon Slayer Corps, so his storage was quite ample.

Yudou's idea was simple. Since the demon power crystals could resist the curse from Muzan Kibutsuji that affected Yagaya Ubuyashiki, they should logically be able to counteract the curse on demons as well.

After all, both curses originated from Muzan Kibutsuji, and the function of demon power crystals was to increase the demon power of those with demon power.

For those without demon power, it could transform their bodies, forcibly "demonizing" them.

Previously, Yagaya Ubuyashiki's human body was too fragile to withstand the erosion of demon power.

However, as a demon, the Mother Spider, in terms of both physique and lifespan, far surpassed Yagaya Ubuyashiki. Using a large amount of "inferior demon power crystals" would likely force her to become "demonized."

Of course, these were just Yudou's personal speculations. The actual situation would depend on reality.

From the beginning, Yudou had this idea when he decided to subdue the Mother Spider and was willing to use a large amount of "inferior demon power crystals."

The system had previously asked him to subdue multiple types of demons but did not specify that they had to be in the same world.

Was it possible to create a new type of demon and then subdue it?

If his conjecture could be realized, wouldn't it reduce the risk and also earn a reward from the system?

After taking out the "inferior demon power crystals," Yudou also explained the possible side effects to the Mother Spider.

After all, since he planned to subdue her, she would be a companion. Concealing such matters would only create resentment in the future.

However, the Mother Spider clearly did not take the side effects seriously. She extended her slender fingers and grabbed the purple crystals from Yudou's hand.

Having already prepared to die, now that there was a chance to gamble, the Mother Spider naturally had no hesitation.

Even if the success rate was low, the Mother Spider would still choose to try.

Because she knew this was her first act of loyalty. If she disobeyed her master's first order, such a subordinate would have no value.

The purple crystals glowed eerily in the Mother Spider's palm. After a brief hesitation, she swallowed them all.

Her decisive action left Yudou, who had been about to take out the "Killing Stone" to provide an extra layer of insurance, speechless.
