Meeting the Fox Clan Head
As soon as Ye Zichen spoke, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
When the fox kids heard his words, they trembled. At the same time, Su Yan froze.
"How could it be him?"
Su Yan repeated the same words over and over again in her mind. As the two of them stared at each other in silence, the little boy spoke up.
"Big Sister Su Yan, do you know him?"
"I don't."
Suddenly, Su Yan's expression grew cold. She stared intently at Ye Zichen, who was tied to the tree. Her gaze wavered, and she clenched her fists.
"This person trespassed on the nine-tailed fox clan's back mountain. He's most likely a spy sent by an outsider. Little Gang, notify the Three Halls and detain him. When the clan head comes out of seclusion, he'll deal with him. "
After explaining everything, Su Yan left without so much as a backward glance. However, the instant she turned around, everyone saw her shoulders tremble.
Su Yan seemed to be laughing and crying at the same time. She didn't stop until she'd left the back mountain. She gazed at the towering tree binding Ye Zichen.
"I used eight seconds to hate you, eight minutes to leave you, eight hours to throw away everything related to you, eight months to let you go, and eight years to forget you. But then you said, 'Are you alright?' All of my memories came back to me. Hah …. Why? I said I'd hate you for the rest of my life, but I'll never forgive you. But …. You're still alive. That's great. "
The hot tears in her eyes flowed down like a broken dam. Su Yan sighed non-stop, her tears glistening as they drifted away.
The adult-like boy frowned at Su Yan's departing figure, then at Ye Zichen's astonished expression. In the end, his expression turned into one of bitterness, but in the end, he could only scratch his head.
In the end, he was still too young. He couldn't understand the story behind all of this.
"Big Sister Su Yan said she doesn't know you. What do you have to say for yourself?"
The boy wrinkled his nose and frowned. Ye Zichen, who was tied to the tree, pursed his lips and smiled, but did not try to defend himself.
"I don't."
Ye Zichen barged into the nine-tailed fox clan's back mountain. As expected, he landed in the dungeon.
Sniffing the damp air around him, he recalled Su Yan's attitude towards him back then. Ye Zichen shook his head with a faint smile, then sat down on the cell's bed and poured wine into his mouth.
Half a day passed. Ye Zichen just sat there, looking up at the only window through which the sun shone, and continued to drink.
Rumble.
At this moment, the door to the dungeon opened, and a tall, cold, and arrogant woman walked in.
The woman walked right up to Ye Zichen's cell and instinctively covered her nose with a frown.
"Why does it reek of alcohol?"
When Ye Zichen heard the newcomer's words, he put down his wine gourd and glanced at the cell door. When he saw the woman, he couldn't help but purse his lips into a smile.
"Sister Liu 'er, long time no see."
"It really is you."
When Su Liu'er saw that the person in the cell was Ye Zichen, she didn't seem surprised at all. Rather, she seemed to think it was only natural.
"As soon as I returned to the clan, I heard that someone had barged into the back mountain. He even said that he knew me and my sister. Just now, when I went to see my sister, she stammered and stammered, as if she'd been crying not too long ago. After thinking it over, I figured it had to be you. "
After a hundred years, Su Liu'er had grown even colder and more arrogant. Her every word and action seemed inhumane.
She'd long since disliked Su Yan and Ye Zichen. It was only after their experiences that her impression of Ye Zichen had changed slightly. But now, Su Yan seemed to be deeply opposed to Ye Zichen. She naturally wouldn't try to get them back together.
"I heard from those kids that you're here to see the head of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. Coincidentally, the clan head just emerged from seclusion. I'll take you to him now. "
Ye Zichen broke the prison's seal and opened the door, then stepped out of his cell and said, "What's wrong with you?
"Thank you, Sister Liu 'er."
"It's no trouble at all. Although I've never liked you, I understand you a little. Since you said you had business with the clan head, it naturally wasn't a lie. I don't want my little sister's stubbornness to delay your business. "
Su Liu'er glanced at him coolly, then walked out of the dungeon.
Ye Zichen sighed inexplicably. He swallowed the words he'd wanted to say, then silently followed her out.
Su Liu'er led Ye Zichen to a bamboo forest. It was impossible to tell how old the one-inch-wide bamboos were, and they towered into the sky with no end in sight.
The layout of the bamboo forest was even more peculiar. Countless paths crisscrossed one another. If one wasn't careful, they'd get lost in the forest.
Ye Zichen didn't know how many twists and turns they'd taken, but by the time Su Liu'er led him out of the bamboo forest, he saw a steaming hot spring. Beside the spring stood a bamboo building.
"Auntie Wan."
Su Liu'er, who'd been leading the way, suddenly stopped and bowed towards the hot spring. Only then did Ye Zichen notice that, beneath the steam, there was a woman with her back to him.
Her back was as white as snow and as smooth as a pearl.
With just a glance, Ye Zichen felt his heart tremble. He hurriedly averted his gaze, not daring to profane her in the slightest.
"She's here."
The woman's voice was gentle. Ye Zichen heard a voice in the water, and before long, the woman spoke again.
"Come over here."
The woman had already put on her clothes and was sitting at a table by the side of the spring.
Su Liu'er and Ye Zichen walked up to the woman, stopped about five meters away, and cupped their hands in greeting.
"Ye Zichen greets the clan head."
The woman looked Ye Zichen up and down, then nodded at Su Liu'er.
"Liu'er, you can leave for now."
Su Liu'er disappeared into the bamboo forest without any hesitation. The beautiful woman pointed to the seat across from her.
"Sit."
The fox clan truly lived up to their reputation as the yao race's most handsome men and beautiful women. They were the most handsome of all yao. The Fox Clan's Clan Leader in front of him was an existence that was extremely beautiful.
What's more, she wasn't just beautiful; she was also one of the strongest existences in all of the Upper Three Realms.
As he sat across from her, Ye Zichen felt somewhat ill at ease.
"Did Emperor Hades send you?"
After a long silence, or rather, after sizing him up for a long time, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's Clan Leader finally spoke.
