Xie Ning stared at it, her gaze gentle. "Like, say, biting me at the critical moment? Would something like that happen?"
Little Spider was about to freak out.
"Imposshible!" Its electronic voice was trembling and timid.
'Seriously, Master is just too shcary!'
'Her chilly gaze looked a bit like... she was thinking of getting rid of it ahead of schedule.'
Little Spider scrambled forward, its two small claws desperately clinging to one of Xie Ning's fingers. "I shwear! Future will never, ever betray Master!"
Xie Ning raised an eyebrow, gently patting Little Spider's hard metal shell. "I know. Future is my capable little helper. I like you very much too, Future."
"Mm-hm, mm-hm," Little Spider responded. "Master, would you like to learn about o-other things? Like potions?"
"A Beauty Potion?"
