"Sever!"
Hao Xuan's palm glowed with a pale white light that fell on the spider's crisp carcass. He closed his eyes and felt the newly established soul connection.
"Looks like it worked," he mumbled watching the spider hover on the brink of life and death. A couple more seconds and it would have died but now it was being slowly pulled back.
Its life essence started to regenerate on its own, albeit very slowly. But even though Hao Xuan gained a new sever, his face was completely devoid of every emotion other than poorly concealed anger. He had to physically stop himself from killing the spider where it laid.
"There is no death without my permission. From now until I see fit, you will serve me without question," Hao Xuan muttered slowly and stood up. He waved his hand and the spider vanished.
The Scorpion King who was standing behind him with a lowered head instinctively took a step back as well.
