He Lengqian narrowed his eyes sharply, his body temperature dropping to freezing point. "I've already said, she's mine."

The old man stared at He Lengqian, then suddenly gasped, "Lengqian, you... you and that little nine-tailed fox...?"

Seeing the old man's eyes suddenly become ambiguous, and his eyebrows twitching lewdly towards him, He Lengqian's tone suddenly turned disgusted, "It's not what you think."

"Oh, what am I thinking? Little Leng Qian, if you don't tell me, people won't understand~~" The old man was still grinning lewdly.

He Lengqian gave the old man a deep look, then got up and left without saying a word.

"Alright, alright! I won't say anything, okay? Sit down!" The old man knew He Lengqian's temper, so he quickly raised his hand and waved at him.

He Lengqian then sat down again, staring coldly at the old man, "What exactly happened?"

"Hmph, why are you being so fierce? I don't know what kind of bewitching potion that vixen gave you, look at how you treat me every day!" The old man said with a dissatisfied look, and he also muttered something.

It wasn't until He Lengqian narrowed his eyes coldly again that the old man finally spoke, "Don't you know the people from the Fairy Association? They're as afraid of you as a grandson seeing his grandfather. You said you'd protect Little Nine-Tailed Fox, and most of them didn't dare to cause any trouble anymore. It's just that those few elders are in a bit of a dilemma. They asked me to come and beg you, saying that if you want to keep Little Nine-Tailed Fox, you must ensure that she poses no threat."

“She posed no threat whatsoever.” Seeing the old man staring intently at him, He Lengqian leaned back coldly and asked, “Just this little thing?”

"This is a mandatory requirement from the elders of the Fairy Association. Only you would think this is a small matter." The old man glanced at He Lengqian and continued, "For you, the Fairy Association's affairs may be considered trivial, but now, it's not just the Fairy Association that's eyeing Mu Chuchu, but also the Serpent Clan."

A bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed in He Lengqian's eyes, a cold light swirling within them, as if capable of freezing a person.

"As you know, the Serpent Clan and the Fox Clan have always been irreconcilable enemies. Ever since their great war a thousand years ago, when the Fox Clan's leader, the Great Nine-Tailed Fox, died, the Fox Clan has been without a leader since the emergence of a Nine-Tailed Fox. Most of them have now gone into seclusion, leaving the Serpent Clan as the dominant power. And now, the Little Nine-Tailed Fox has suddenly appeared. Once the Serpent Clan learns of this, they will surely elect her as their new leader, and the Fox Clan will make a comeback." The old man's tone was extremely cold, as if it could freeze everything. "Think about it carefully yourself. The Fox Clan and the Serpent Clan are sworn enemies. Can the Serpent Clan tolerate the Little Nine-Tailed Fox leading the Fox Clan?"

"She is mine. If the Serpent Clan wants to touch her, they should first ask if they have the ability to touch our He family." He Lengqian coldly curled the corners of his lips and sneered disdainfully.

Seeing He Lengqian's cold words and his gaze that seemed to freeze people, the old man immediately became anxious, "You, you, you, you still say you have no feelings for that little nine-tailed fox? Who are you trying to fool!"

He Lengqian pursed his lips and remained silent.

The old man looked at He Lengqian with a worried expression, and let out a long sigh. “This matter is of utmost importance, Lengqian. I advise you not to get involved in this mess. Think about it yourself, why are you doing this?”
