Xiao Wu was being rigged with holes by all the questions the others asked her question upon a question on how the hell she had made it back safetly by herself. Xiao Wu didn't dare b the Twins after most questions had been answered and merely sat dowo the Twins. When Tang San, still leaning against Tang Yin, was starting to stir, blood-like mist oozed out from his body as he vulsed o her.

  Tang Yin cursed and then took him into her arms, hugging him tightly. He was trying to exceed his limits by a siderable margin here, and if he failed, he would die; that much was obvious. She grabbed him tighter, trying to engulf him in her own spirit power, trying to give him some of hers to help.

  They were twins, so it was not an impossibility for her to succeed. The possibility existed. She closed her eyes, fog pletely on her brother to help him to the best of her abilities.

  She grasped him tighter when aremor went though his body, gasping his eyes turned into two bck orbs as he shook like a leaf in her arms. She gritted her teeth and silently held on to him as none of them dared take a step closer to them. Tang Sa out a scream, a painful wail that was filled with pain as on his back spider-like legs burst forward and tore his clothing. Their sharp edges cutting Tang Yin's skin, they felt the poison ihem run through her hands into her body when it slowly fainted away at the sense of her spirit power.

  Still, she didn't dare let go of her brother as blood dripped from her hands. Whispering.

  "Life, Life, you have to make it. Survive."

  He suddenly started to emit a faint purple glow, his hair dark like a nightshade, as he gasped for air and vulsed once again in Tang Yin's arms, a vicious tremble going through him. Xiao Wu was close to them, not daring to touch them folding her hand as if praying.

  "He is not going to turn into a giant spider, is he?" Oscar muttered, and Xiao Wu gred at him with a death gre at those wirds of his. This was not the moment for jokes.

  The lo took, the more the faint purple glow vanished, and his body stilled in Tang Yins arms.

  Blue Silver grass grew all around the Tang Twins, curling around them, caressing them, and coing the two of them. Tang Yin hugged her brother, holding him tightly as she sprayed to whatever god came into her mind.

  The tremors stilled. Tang Yin's purple hands turned clear, and the spider legs on Tang San's back vanished into the air slowly but certainly. Still, they were together as the tremors finally stopped, and Tang San was returning to being a lip body in Tang Yin's arms. She carefully id him down, three rings glowing like glittering beas around them, moving up and dowly.

  "He's do-" Zhao Wuji said, eyes oang Siblings. "He actually did it."

  Xiao Wu let out a cry of relief as she got closer to the twins and silently asked Tang Yin for permission. Yin looked at her and then nodded after a small hesitation as Xiao Wu settled down. Yily pced Tang San's head on Xiao Wu's p, holding onto his hand, refusing to let go of it.

  "He didn't die." Xiao Wu said, and Tang Yin snorted.

  "I khat," She muttered, grabbing his hand tighter. "Far too stubborn"

  Despite everything, Xiao Wu had to smile at those words. He was too stubborn, and that was right ihey noted he was moving, slowly but surely, his eyes fluttering again. As he opehem, he looked upwards and then croaked.

  "Xiao Wu...?" Xiao Wu smiled her most dazzling smile at him, and his head lolled aside as he saw his sister and then sighed. "Sis...."

  "Yeah?" She asked him, and he grunted rather ungracefully. "You look horrible."

  Tang Yi stuhat. That was what he said after she had just covered his ass, and he had almost died.

  That she looked horrible?

  "You should get a medic to check you out." He then added his voice barely there, and Tang Yin was about tle him when Xiao Wu bowed doecked him oemple with a smile. He was stunned into silence as he looked at her. "Are you an illusion, or have you really made it back?" He asked her. Xiao Wu huffed a out a gentle ugh.

  "I am real." She told him. "I am fine, you idiot."

  "I am sorry." He muttered. "I wasn't strong enough to protect you."

  Xiao Wu stared at him, just as fbbergasted as Tang Yin. The two looked at each other, silently unig. Xiao Wu smiled at him.

  "I am just happy you are safe, " she said and then smiled. And you may want to get dressed."

  Tang San bli her and then looked at himself, noting he was iopless with mostly torn pants, which did not leave much to the imagination. Xiao Wu turned away, blushing. He let out a hum and and dressed in record time.

  Tang Yin was instead left ughing at seeing him dressed up all prim and proper, blushing in embarrassment. Seeing her ugh, he grumbled, "You could have told me sooner."

  "What?" She grinned. "Nothing I haven't see."

  Tang San stilled and internally agreed. There was really nothing she hadn't seeheir father had not made a big distin between them when he had taken care of them as babies. Evehey were twins, and the only opportunity to bathe had been in the nearby river or in a tiny bathtub during winter.

  "Still. At least act embarrassed." He grumbled, earning ughs from everyohen he walked closer to her and looked at her. "You should get some sleep."

  "I should get more than sleep." She muttered. "Three times, you guess who will be carrying me home. Cuz I ain't running anywhere anymore today."

  "Sure." He muttered when Zhao Wuji picked the two of them up.

  "You two are not going anywhere but my back, and we are heading back to the School."
