âThis is Tushan.â
Chu Kuangren followed the map in his mind and came to Tushan with Lil Fox. His arrival attracted many from the Fox Tribeâs attention.
Soon, a few of them came forward.
They were all handsome men and beautiful women but not comparable to Chu Kuangren.
His facial features were almost the perfect humanoid creation.
âThis human being looks better than the best-looking male fox in the Tushan clan. Thatâs incredible.â
All yokai foxes were astonished upon seeing Chu Kuangren.
Some female yokai foxes even secretly gulped.
Chu Kuangren was incredibly good-looking not only to men but also to women.
âWho are you?â
Although they were impressed by Chu Kuangrenâs appearance, they did not neglect their duties and immediately questioned him.
âIâm Chu Kuangren, and Iâm here to visit Tushan with Moonlight Fox. Itâs an agreement between Tushan Fei Yu and me.â
âWhat? An agreement with Maiden Sage?â
Some yokai foxes were slightly surprised.
âBring him in.â
At that moment, a voice sounded from the depths of Tushan.
It was a Tushan Tribeâs Elder.
âAlright.â
â¦
âChu Kuangren killed hundreds of Heavenly Champions and sky-prides in that battle. Some of them were no weaker than me. Heâs extremely powerful, and Iâm afraid none among the younger generation in the entire Immortal World can compare to him,â Tushan Fei Yu said by the lake.
Before her, Lil Yu listened with fascination and lamented. âIf I were to get married in the future, I must marry such an unparalleled hero. It doesnât matter even if he is a human.â
âIndeedâ¦â Tushan Fei Yu lamented.
She thought of Chu Kuangren, about how he had killed a group of enemies with one sword attack and how he had saved her from the Blooded Nine Crow.
She even thought of his extraordinarily handsome appearanceâ¦
Everything about him was unrealistically perfect.
âIt must be great to marry such a person,â mumbled Tushan Fei Yu.
Then, she shook her head. âHow is that possible? Unless a miracle happens, Iâm afraid Iâll have to marry the Golden Crow Crown Prince.â
She knew Tushan could not defend themselves against the Heavenly Golden Crow Mountain now.
In order to protect Tushan, the elders would want her to marry the Golden Crowâs Crown Prince no matter how reluctant they were, even if it was a temporary measure.
At that thought, a bitter smile appeared on her face.
âFei Yu, Chu Kuangren is here,â a yokai fox reported.
âAlright.â
Tushan Fei Yu was stunned for a moment before she nodded.
âIs it Chu Kuangren for real? I want to have a look too,â said Lil Yu.
It felt as if she was going to meet an idol.
âLetâs go.â
â¦
Tushan was not in nature as Chu Kuangren imagined.
There were many buildings here, which were no different from the cities where humans lived, except that yokai foxes lived here.
At that moment, a few of Tushanâs elders were meeting Chu Kuangren in the Tushanâs great hall. They had long known about Chu Kuangrenâs visit, so they dared not slack.
After all, he was an unreasonably powerful sky-pride. They had, more or less, heard about the battle in the Kunlun Secret Realm. Some of the Fox Tribeâs great ones even spied on the battle.
However, compared to Chu Kuangren, they were now more interested in Lil Fox as they could sense her strong Celestial Fox bloodline.
âA Moonlight Fox is a rare and strange Celestial Fox.â
âThere havenât been many Moonlight Foxes in Tushanâs history, but itâs the first time a Moonlight Fox has returned from the outside world.â
All yokai foxâs elders looked at Lil Fox with great interest.
A yokai foxâs elder furrowed his brows while staring at Lil Fox. âDo you think Lil Fox looks familiar?â
At that, other elders reacted and looked at Lil Fox in amazement.
âYes. She does look familiar.â
âCould she be an illegitimate child of one of our higher-ups in Tushan? Thatâs really something.â
âNo, she looks a little like the Queen,â an elder suddenly said.
As soon as he said that, everyone was stunned. Then, their gaze on Lil Fox gradually turned solemn.
âThey do look somewhat similar.â
âWhat the hell is going on?!â
Lil Fox was slightly frightened by the yokai foxâs elders staring at her and could not help but hide behind Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren rubbed her head to comfort her.
âBrother Chu, Iâve sent someone to get the Bloodline Crystal. Then, we can identify her bloodline.â
âAlright.â
Soon after, Tushan Fei Yu showed up before the Bloodline Crystal did.
She nodded at Chu Kuangren. âGreetings, Brother Chu.â
âGreetings, Miss Fei Yu.â
Chu Kuangren greeted her with a smile.
Then, he noticed a small head sticking out from behind Tushan Fei Yu and was looking at him curiously.
She was a cute young lady with fair and smooth skin.
âLil Yu, come and meet Chu Kuangren, whom I mentioned earlier,â said Tushan Fei Yu.
âGreetings, Brother Chu.â
Lil Yu walked forward and bowed politely.
Chu Kuangren smiled. âGreetings, Sister Lil Yu.â
âBrother Chu, youâre the same as my sister described.â
âOh, what did your sister say about me?â
âShe said youâre an awesome and good-looking sky-pride whoâs much more powerful than her. She even said it would be great if she could marry youââ
Before Lil Yu could finish her sentence, a blushing Tushan Fei Yu covered her mouth.
âSheâs just a child spouting nonsense. Please forgive her, Brother Chu.â
Her ears turned red, and her cheeks felt so hot that she was almost smoking.
âSister, Iâm not a child. Iâm two hundred and thirty years old.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lil Yu finally broke free from Tushan Fei Yuâs hand and said with dissatisfaction, âConfess to him since you like him.â
âRepeat it, and Iâll kill you,â Tushan Fei Yu said while gritting her teeth.
Chu Kuangren smiled and did not take Lil Yuâs words seriously. However, he noticed the elders beside him reacting weirdly.
All of them were taciturn, and their expressions were grim.
It seemed to have started when Lil Yu said Tushan Fei Yu liked Chu Kuangren.
Could their reaction be due to that?
Was it because humans and yokai were different, so they disallowed Tushan Fei Yu liking Chu Kuangren?
Or could there be some other reasons?
âSigh. How despicable. If it werenât for the Heavenly Golden Crow Mountain, I would support Fei Yu even if she likes an ordinary man.â An elder sighed.
âHeavenly Golden Crow Mountain?â
âIt must be the Golden Crow Tribeâ¦â Chu Kuangren thought to himself.
After a while, a yokai fox brought in the Bloodline Crystal and began to examine Lil Foxâs bloodline.
The outcome was exactly in line with the conjecture of all yokai foxâs elders.
âShe is indeed the Queenâs descendant!â
âHow is that possible? When did the Queen have a descendant, and why was she left out?â
âThe Emerald Hill Fox King. If the Queen has a descendant, it is likely that she and the Emerald Hill Fox King gave birth to her.â
The elders looked at Lil Fox with a conflicted expression.
