However, the action was still a step too slow. A burning pain spread across his chest, and four long claw marks slowly began to bleed!
Hu Qiu was furious. He looked up at the little thing that had ambushed him and was suddenly startled…
It was Hu Qi?
How could he break free from his Heavenly Dao Emperor’s suppression? Impossible! He was only at the first stage of the Heavenly Dao Saint!
The Fox Clan Chief’s face also turned pale, but he dared not check Hu Qi’s injuries in front of everyone. He was anxious in his heart, but his face showed little else.
The ancient divine beast bloodline was rarely inherited! After so many years, their Fox Clan finally had one, and it absolutely could not be exposed today!
“Hu Qi! Stand down!”
Hu Qiu’s eyes dimmed. He glanced indifferently at the Fox Clan Chief, then at the group behind him, and finally his gaze fell on Hu Qi. Seeing someone about to pull Hu Qi away, he flashed forward and grabbed the latter’s tail…
“Hu Qi? Tell me, why were you able to escape my pressure?”
Hu Qi’s body thrashed violently as his tail was grabbed, but he was helpless. Hearing the question in his rage, he became even more furious!
“Bastard! Let go of your grandpa immediately! Want to know? I won’t tell you! Hmph, you trash, let go! Don’t dirty grandpa’s tail… un…”
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Qiu’s face turned ashen. He squeezed with all his might, and the fluffy tail was directly squeezed thin!
“I heard that the White Fox clan used to possess the bloodline of an ancient divine beast! If I remember correctly, Hu Qi’s mother is a White Fox, right?”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the foxes’ faces changed. The bearded man’s eyes were filled with anxiety, and his heart pounded wildly! It was precisely to avoid suspicion that the White Fox lineage had not appeared for many years. He had not expected this Hu Qiu to be so perceptive…
Hu Qi, taking advantage of his carelessness, shook himself and directly opened his mouth, sinking his sharp teeth into the opponent’s wrist with all his might!
Hu Qiu had not paid much attention at first, but the intense pain from his hand, caught off guard, twisted his face in agony! He instinctively threw the fox in his hand away…
Coincidentally, the direction was towards the big tree where Jin Bao’er was standing…
The fox was about to be thrown into her face. Jin Bao’er could not just let Hu Qi be knocked unconscious. She gently waved her right hand, and a pure white spiritual energy fluctuation emerged, directly catching the flying fox!
Hu Qi’s eyes were tightly shut. Having already been struck by a palm, he was powerless now and could only await the pain.
However, after a moment, he felt no pain. When he opened his eyes, his body was gently placed in a warm embrace that exuded a faint, clean fragrance…
The scent of the two little things he liked the most was also very close. For a moment, he couldn’t help but relax his body, even having the thought that it wouldn’t be so bad to stay like this forever!
He looked up, his dark little eyes meeting Jin Bao’er’s deep, cold black eyes, with a hint of brown that matched his fur color! For some reason, he became even happier!
The others who had been watching Hu Qi’s movements also saw this scene. Especially after their gazes fell upon the incredibly beautiful woman, their eyes flickered with amazement!
The foxes were born with excellent looks, but they had to admit that few foxes could compare to the woman before them! Moreover, this woman possessed a noble aura, her gaze was indifferent, and her posture on the branch exuded an inexplicable sense of condescending disregard…
It was that kind of… illusion as if a deity was looking down upon all beings!
A god?
The Fox Clan Chief suddenly jolted awake, followed by endless irony and bitterness!
In this world, where were the gods? Even the supposedly impartial Great Dao had abandoned the beings of the upper realm! The Heavenly Dao was heartless, and their monster race was living an increasingly difficult life…
For the Tiger Clan to want to be the Beast King was actually not that unacceptable! After all, they could avoid the world and not come out in the future! It was better than their descendants being threatened with their lives and being forced to do the Tiger Clan’s bidding.
Thinking this, the fullness on his face suddenly receded, and he closed his eyes in dejection…
“Hu Qiu! Our clan…”
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Bao’er landed gently, tossed the brown fox in her arms to the elder, and did not miss his change in expression. Although she didn’t know why he had suddenly come around, this Tiger Clan was clearly not a good one!
If the Fox Clan were to compromise, they would likely suffer even more in the future.
“You must be the Fox Clan Chief? I am Jin Bao’er.”
Saying this, the woman in white nodded slightly, her posture incredibly casual yet exceptionally pleasing to the eye! Her aura was extraordinary!
Before the Fox Clan Chief could speak, she ignored his stunned expression and said directly.
“Originally, this is a matter for the monster race, and I shouldn’t speak too much. However, as Hu Qi’s contracted master, I have some connection with the Fox Clan, so I have to say a few words!”
Her tone changed, and her gentle voice suddenly turned cold!
“The monster race has always respected the strong! Many monsters are proud in their lives and would rather die than surrender! Today, they are threatened by the Tiger Clan like this. If they bow down, I’m afraid the descendants of the Fox Clan will never be able to hold their heads high again! Becoming the Beast King, it’s simple, isn’t it? It’s about who is stronger? Since the Tiger Clan cannot openly challenge, it means their strength is insufficient! What right do they have to be the Beast King?”
“Moreover! Doesn’t the monster race disdain scheming and trickery? The Tiger Clan is so despicable, it’s truly an embarrassment to the monsters! If such beings really become the Beast King, the monster race will probably not be far from its demise!”
She spoke a long passage expressionlessly, every word logical, yet utterly unceremonious! It was practically equivalent to slapping the Tiger Clan in the face publicly!
Hu Qiu was enraged on the spot! His face turned black and blue as he glared at her. Noticing his Heavenly Dao King cultivation, he directly used his pressure to intimidate her!
“How dare you! Who is this petty cultivator who dares to meddle in the internal affairs of my monster race!”
When the pressure descended, the Fox Clan Chief saw it but did not react. Although her words were logical, what Hu Qiu said was not wrong. This was their monster race’s affair; what right did a cultivator have to interfere?
Furthermore! She didn’t seem to have any ill will towards the Fox Clan! But even he couldn’t protect her now. It was better for her to leave under Hu Qiu’s pressure. If he intervened, it was bound to make Hu Qiu stir up trouble for the Fox Clan again.
The chief did not move, and neither did his tribesmen behind him! No one doubted that this woman with her refined aura would be miserably thrown to the ground in the next second…
Seeing this, Jin Bao’er’s expression remained unchanged. Facing Hu Qiu’s tall and strong physique, she appeared even more delicate, yet there was no fear on her face, only extreme calmness!
Then, she waved her hand gently…
The pressure dissipated!
Like mist rushing towards her, it vanished quickly with her slight, casual movement…
Then, ignoring the shock and bewilderment on everyone’s faces, she said in a cold tone.
“I have no intention of interfering! Whether the Fox Clan lives or dies has nothing to do with me!”
