“Elder Xiong, what request do you have?” the little white fox asked.
Elder Xiong said, “If Ye Changsheng obtains the Demon Emperor’s inheritance, I hope that Your Majesty will marry him.”
The little white fox teased, “Elder Xiong, weren’t you just worrying that Ye Changsheng might have connections with that race?”
“Are you not afraid that if I marry him, it will bring trouble to the demon clan?”
Elder Xiong laughed and replied, “Previously, this subordinate was inconsiderate.”
“After hearing Your Majesty’s analysis, this subordinate finally understands Your Majesty’s good intentions.”
“Since the Eternal Blue Sky Great Emperor chose Ye Changsheng, and the anomaly of Nine Suns across the sky appeared on him, if he then obtains the Demon Emperor’s inheritance, it will prove that he is inextricably linked to the rise of our demon clan.”
“Since the demon clan and Ye Changsheng are already bound together on the same boat, why not make our relationship even closer?”
“Moreover, I have watched Your Majesty grow up, and I also hope that Your Majesty can find a suitable husband.”
“Ye Changsheng’s character, appearance, and talent are all outstanding choices.”
“I think you and he are very well-matched.”
The little white fox smiled and said, “Elder Xiong, you do not know this, but right now you look less like a demon clan elder and more like a matchmaker.”
Elder Xiong laughed heartily and said, “If Your Majesty truly ends up with Ye Changsheng, it will surely become a beautiful tale. I am happy to play the role of matchmaker.”
“Your Majesty, will you agree to my request?”
The little white fox replied, “Let me think about this matter carefully…”
Roar!
Suddenly, a tiger’s roar came from afar, shaking heaven and earth.
The little white fox and Elder Xiong both looked into the distance.
“This is Elder Hu’s Tiger Roar Technique,” Elder Xiong said. “Although this roar is full of vigour, its power is considerably weaker than Elder Hu’s. It seems Ye Changsheng is the one using it.”
“He only left a short while ago, yet he has already mastered Elder Hu’s ultimate skill. His talent is too terrifying.”
“This young man is truly a heaven-sent genius!”
The corners of the little white fox’s mouth curved up slightly as she thought to herself, “The person this monarch has taken a fancy to is naturally a genius among geniuses.”
“Your Majesty, shall I accompany you to Elder Hu’s place to see Ye Changsheng?” Elder Xiong asked.
“No need for your company. I shall go alone,” the little white fox said. “Elder Xiong, go and prepare the matters related to entering the forbidden area.”
Elder Xiong asked, “Your Majesty, when do you plan to take Ye Changsheng into the forbidden area?”
The little white fox said, “Tomorrow.”
“The matter of the elders imparting their ultimate techniques shall end here.”
“Tomorrow I will take Ye Changsheng into the forbidden area.”
“At that time, the ten great elders will accompany me inside. I imagine you all wish to know whether Ye Changsheng can truly obtain the Demon Emperor’s inheritance.”
“Yes,” Elder Xiong replied. “This subordinate will go and make the arrangements now.”
After Elder Xiong left, the little white fox vanished instantly from her spot. When she reappeared, she was already in a vast mountain forest.
The forest stretched for millions of li, with ancient trees towering into the sky. This was the gathering place of the tiger clan.
As the little white fox flew over the forest, her gaze fell upon countless tiger clan citizens frolicking on the ground below. This filled her with emotion.
“If only it could remain this peaceful forever, how wonderful that would be!”
“Unfortunately, the human race views the demon clan as a great enemy.”
“If we cannot eliminate the racial opposition, the demon clan staying here long-term to rest and recuperate will only cause us to lose our fighting strength. This is not a good thing for the demon clan.”
Swish!
The little white fox suddenly quickened her pace, appearing like a bolt of lightning above a massive palace.
At once, she saw Ye Qiu and Elder Hu. They were in the courtyard, with Elder Hu kneeling before Ye Qiu.
“What is going on?”
“Could it be that Elder Hu has also become a disciple of Changsheng?”
Unable to hold back, the little white fox asked aloud, “Elder Hu, what are you doing?”
Elder Hu quickly looked up and said, “Your Majesty, this subordinate wishes to take Young Master Ye as my master. I beg Your Majesty to help persuade Young Master Ye.”
“What is this? You are unwilling to accept Elder Hu?” the little white fox said. Her figure landed beside Ye Qiu.
In an instant, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose.
Ye Qiu took a deep breath and explained, “It is not that I am unwilling, but I feel I am not qualified.”
“Elder Hu has taught me the Tiger Roar Technique. To repay his kindness in imparting the skill, I taught him a set of fist techniques.”
“This set is called Dragon Slaying Fist. It was created by my father. When my father created it, his cultivation was low, and the power of this fist technique is quite ordinary.”
“Therefore, I feel I am not qualified to be Elder Hu’s master.”
“Your Majesty, Young Master Ye is not telling the truth,” Elder Hu said. “The power of Dragon Slaying Fist is very strong. If you do not believe me, watch.”
Boom!
Elder Hu stood up and punched towards the sky.
In that instant, a massive hole appeared in the sky, as if the void itself had been shattered.
The little white fox was somewhat shocked. With her eyesight, she could clearly see that the fist technique Elder Hu used was extraordinary.
“Elder Hu is right. Dragon Slaying Fist is indeed very powerful, and this set of techniques is very suitable for Elder Hu,” the little white fox said.
Elder Hu knelt before Ye Qiu again and said, “Young Master Ye, please accept me!”
Ye Qiu glanced at the little white fox, feeling a little embarrassed. He thought to himself, “If I accept Elder Hu, then more than half of the demon clan’s ten great elders will be my disciples.”
“Why are you looking at me?” the little white fox said. “In any case, so many elders have already taken you as their master. If you think Elder Hu is acceptable, just accept him!”
“Forget it. I shall make the decision for you.”
“Elder Hu, Ye Changsheng agrees to accept you. Kowtow!”
“Yes!” Elder Hu was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to Ye Qiu.
“Very well, Elder Hu. You carry on with your business. I am taking Ye Changsheng away,” the little white fox said. She grabbed Ye Qiu’s hand and abruptly vanished.
The next second, the little white fox and Ye Changsheng appeared in the monarch’s bedchamber.
“I had not even spoken yet, and you made the decision for me. Is that appropriate?” Ye Qiu muttered.
“What, are you angry?” The little white fox rolled her eyes playfully, hugged Ye Qiu’s arm, and said coquettishly, “This servant was wrong. Please forgive this servant, alright?”
Hearing her voice, Ye Qiu felt his bones almost go soft.
What a tormenting little vixen.
“Actually, I am not angry. I just… By the way, why did you bring me here?” Ye Qiu asked.
“What do you think?” The little white fox blinked her eyes, her gaze seductive, her smile enchanting.
Could it be that she wants to…
Just as the thought arose in Ye Qiu’s mind, the little white fox hugged him and jumped into the pool together.
“Do you want to?”
The little white fox asked, her breath like orchids.
Ye Qiu felt somewhat nervous.
Although he had long anticipated that this day would come, it had arrived much sooner than he imagined.
With five parts anticipation and five parts fear of exploring the unknown, Ye Qiu said, “Is this not… a bit too rushed?”
The little white fox smiled charmingly and said, “If we do not let something happen soon, everyone is growing impatient.”
