Fabre in Sacheon’s Tang

Chapter 159



After finishing the conversation, I waited for a moment, and then Bini, Cho, and Yo-hwa returned from the water, washing off the bedbug fluids from their bodies.

Perhaps because they were wet, they immediately began grooming themselves.

  • Scratch, scratch.

  • Slurp, slurp.

The grooming process for centipedes always starts with their antennae.

As expected, Cho and Bini used their upper jaws to grab their antennae, bringing them to their mouths and carefully licking them.

Yo-hwa also took her forelegs and brought them to her mouth.

Though they were spiritual beings, after washing off at the water, they acted just like regular centipedes and spiders when grooming their bodies, licking them clean with their mouths—much like how a cat would clean itself.

However, unlike cats, centipedes don’t shed fur, so they’re even cleaner creatures than cats.

‘Ah, how neat they are.’

Many people mistakenly think centipedes and spiders are dirty creatures, but that’s a serious misunderstanding.

Both centipedes and spiders are incredibly clean animals. Centipedes, living in damp places, are vulnerable to mold, so they always keep their bodies clean. Spiders, too, regularly groom themselves to prevent their webs from making their bodies sticky.

After eating, it’s customary for both centipedes and spiders to carefully lick their antennae and fangs to clean them.

Since our little ones haven’t eaten yet, we don’t see this kind of grooming often, so I watched them with a blank expression.@@novelbin@@

It was a rare sight to see large centipedes and spiders adorably and delicately cleaning their bodies.

‘Ah, how precious. How sweet.’

I could almost understand why parents record videos of their kids growing up.

I deeply regretted not having a phone or any camera to capture this moment, instead engraving the image of them grooming into my mind.

It was a scene that I couldn’t afford to miss.

  • Skrch?
  • Chit?
  • Skrch!
  • Thud, thud.
  • Splash, splash, splash.
  • Skrch!
  • Kiss!
  • Drip drip.
  • Chit chit!
  • Fwoosh.
