Seeing that He Lengqian remained silent, the old man continued to earnestly persuade him, "Think about it yourself, isn't that reasonable? As a nine-tailed fox, that little nine-tailed fox was destined to be in the eye of the storm from birth. There's nothing you can do about it, nothing I can do, nothing anyone can do. All we can do is try our best to protect her. Take my advice and hand her over to the Fairy Association..."

"No, no one can touch her." He Lengqian interrupted the old man hastily before he could finish speaking.

The old man was furious, stomping his foot angrily. "Damn it! You brat, are you trying to drive me crazy?! Tell me! What exactly do you want?"

"I will handle my own affairs," He Lengqian said firmly.

"You! You, you, you're going to drive me crazy! What can you do? Even if the Serpent Clan wants to attack Little Nine-Tailed Fox, as long as the Fairy Association protects her, the Serpent Clan won't dare to act rashly. Once Little Nine-Tailed Fox returns to the Fox Clan, the Fox Clan members will protect her. Why do you care so much? You don't even like her."

"I don't even consider the mere demon snake clan a threat," He Lengqian said with a cold smile and disdain.

"Go ahead and be stubborn! Just keep arguing with me!" The old man was so angry he was almost fuming. "You just won't listen to advice, you just won't listen to me."

“Chu Chu doesn’t want to go back,” He Lengqian suddenly said.

The old man took a moment to process what He Lengqian meant when he said Mu Chuchu didn't want to return to the fox demon clan. "You're not her, how do you know? What if she does want to?"

“She has cultivated for a thousand years. If she wanted to go back, she would have returned to the Fox Demon Clan long ago, but she didn’t. This shows that she doesn’t want to.” He Lengqian said coldly, “Since she is unwilling to go back, then I will guard her. People from the Serpent Demon Clan are welcome to come. I want to see who can snatch her from my hands.”

The old man looked at He Lengqian, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Does this brat really dislike the Nine-Tailed Fox? The more he looks at this kid, the more suspicious he seems!

Secretary Zhou clearly felt the oppressive aura emanating from the two men, and was so frightened that he trembled and dared not even breathe.

Just as the two were at an impasse, the phone on the table rang.

The ringing bell quickly attracted the attention of the three people present.

At the same time, Secretary Zhou looked at the phone on the table as if she had seen a savior. She quickly came over to answer the phone and excitedly said to the person on the other end, "Hello!"

"Secretary Zhou, Miss Mu Chuchu, whom you mentioned before, has arrived. She said she's looking for the gentleman. Do you think we should let her go upstairs?" The receptionist answered quickly on the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhou nodded vigorously, "Of course, please invite her up quickly."

"Xiao Zhou, what's wrong with you? I haven't finished speaking yet! Who did you call over?" The old man glared angrily at Secretary Zhou, his eyes filled with displeasure as he questioned.

"Mr. Ou, I'm so sorry, but one of our most important clients has arrived, and we must treat him with the utmost hospitality. Mr. Ou, why don't you come and sit in the secretary's office? All of our secretaries are exceptionally beautiful, and they especially admire mature and charming men like you." Secretary Zhou approached with a smile, pulling Mr. Ou along as she spoke.
