'Sha Chen' hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the other spider spirits who had already finished their water and dates, and seemed perfectly fine.
Only then did she pick up her cup, drank it all in one gulp, and in front of everyone, ate the dates as well.
She did not heed Sha Chen's advice to neither eat nor drink, because she was confident in her unique constitution and not afraid of poison.
However, as soon as she ate them, she felt it. The dates were poisoned.
She glanced at her sisters and saw their expressions were as usual. It seemed that what they had eaten was fine.
Although she didn't know the potency of the poison in the dates she consumed, she still pretended to collapse.
The other spider spirits were shocked and turned pale, while the master of Huanghua Temple burst into laughter.
"I've finally taken you down. All the effort I put into these poisoned dates wasn't in vain," he said.
