"Why are they here?" Zui Mei asked.

Red Tea couldn't tell if he was angry or not. She lowered her head slightly and tentatively said, "Drunken Beauty, do you not like me anymore? I know this isn't something I should be hoping for. You are the strongest demon in our fox clan, and I am nothing, but I..."

"Don't say that anymore. You are the most beautiful demon in our fox clan. If you feel inferior, how are the other foxes supposed to live?" Zui Mei's lips curled slightly, and a sly glint flashed in her red eyes as she praised Hong Cha.

He knew that if he said that, the red tea would definitely continue talking.

Hearing him say that, Hongcha felt a little flustered. Zuimei rarely praised her; he usually looked at her with adoring eyes, which made her heart flutter. However, Zuimei was too childish, and she couldn't entrust her happiness to him.

A sinister glint flashed in Hongcha's eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know? The snake clan came to propose marriage today. They want our fox clan's... most beautiful fox demon to marry their king."

As he uttered those words, it was as if the red tea had used up all its strength.

Zui Mei chuckled silently, lowered her hand, turned around and said, "I understand."

After saying that, he left.

Looking at Zuimei's tall and slender back, Hongcha sighed softly. If Zuimei weren't like this, she would be willing to be with him, but now... she could only feel sorry for him.

On the elder's side, Fan Ye also learned what the snake clan had come to do.

Regarding this matter, Fan Ye, who had known about the developments for a long time, said... "Heh heh, did I teach my brother for nothing all month?" If Zui Mei were to risk his life for red tea, he would immediately commit suicide and never stay in this damn world again.

"Sigh, Fan Ye, you should try to persuade Zui Mei. Marriage is a matter of fate; if you're destined to be together but not to be, you can't force it. It's destiny. If it weren't for what happened today, I might have been able to refuse Yao Sanqian, but our fox clan… sigh." Fu Yao was extremely unwilling to separate Hong Cha and Zui Mei, this perfect match, but if she didn't agree to Yao Sanqian's proposal, they wouldn't be able to defeat the wolf clan, and their fox clan would face extinction.

“Since the elder has made his decision, I will do my best to persuade Zuimei,” Fan Ye said.

"Fan Ye, our fox clan owes you all a debt." Fu Yao looked up at him, her eyes filled with guilt. First it was Fan Ye, and now it's Zui Mei. What sins have we committed that Heaven must punish the most outstanding juniors of the fox clan?!

Fan Ye said, "Elder, you are joking. We brothers are also members of the Fox Clan. We brothers will not hesitate to do anything for the rise and fall of the Fox Clan. I believe that if it were the Elder, you would do the same as us. What is a little sacrifice for the Fox Clan?"

"Good, well said!" Fuyao was moved and felt a little excited. When he was young, he also had a passion for the fox clan. Even though it was now buried deep in his heart, as long as there was a spark, it could definitely be rekindled.

"Our clan has a chance to prosper! Our clan has a chance to prosper!"

Fuyao could not hide his excitement. Fan Ye was many times stronger than he had been back then, and with Zuimei by his side, as long as Fan Ye could become the patriarch of the fox clan, the fox clan could reach a new level.

Fan Ye remained silent for a while. At this moment, he had completely forgotten that he was a candidate for clan leader. He was thinking about what advice he should give the elders.

"Elder, we must first take back the fox clan's territory."

After much deliberation, Fan Ye concluded that this was the most pressing matter to be addressed.

Although it can't stop the fox demons from sneaking out to cause trouble, it can at least keep some of the honest foxes who don't go out.

"good."

Fan Ye and the elder walked out of the sacred place, flew up to the phoenix tree, and stood on the thick branches.

Fuyao, dressed in white with white hair, glanced at Fan Ye. "Is it alright this time without Zuimei and Suying's help?"

"I can expand the barrier by myself." After Fan Ye finished speaking, he raised his hand and released blue demonic power, which combined with divine power. The barrier reappeared and expanded towards the grassy hilly area.

Some wolf demons who hadn't had time to evacuate the fox clan's territory were blasted away from the fox clan by a burst of energy.

Fan Ye sensed that the barrier had expanded to the border of the fox clan and stopped.

"Fan Ye, your demonic power has increased considerably." Fu Yao was somewhat surprised.

Fan Ye clenched his fist, smiled, and looked at Fu Yao with gentle red eyes, "I owe my power to divine power."

"Divine power!" Fuyao's eyes lit up, his heart pounding. Was it what he thought?

Fan Ye knew that he might be able to deceive other fox demons, but as the eldest elder of the fox clan, he certainly couldn't hide it from them.

"Elder, I know I can't hide it from you, so please keep it a secret. The fewer people who know about this, the better, because neither I nor Zui Mei have fully realized it yet. We need a trigger. If the fox demons find out now, then we will truly be doomed."

Fuyao couldn't possibly be unaware of how much the fox demons of the fox clan craved power, but no matter how much they cultivated, their strength was still at the bottom of the entire demon realm, which discouraged countless fox demons.

If this gets out, it will probably cause a huge uproar. Everyone will come to Fan Ye Zui Mei for a solution, and things will really get chaotic.

Fuyao nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep the secret."

"Especially black tea, you absolutely cannot reveal a single word about it." Fan Ye thought for a moment. She decided to give a serious warning, lest Fuyao think that black tea was one of her own and trust her, and thus couldn't help but tell her.

“Okay.” Fuyao thought differently from Fanye. He thought Fanye was thinking of Hongcha. After all, he had already promised Yao Sanqian. Telling her at this time that they had the power to deal with the enemy would undoubtedly be the most devastating thing for her.

...

After leaving the holy land, Fan Ye felt that Fuyao was a little different from usual, but he couldn't figure out what was different.

It seems like something has been overlooked. What could it be?

"elder brother!"

Before Fan Ye could react, the handsome young man's sunny voice came from in front of him, and he reflexively looked up.

Zui Mei walked briskly towards him, a smile on her face. "Brother, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

"It's nothing. Where did you come from?" Fan Ye looked behind him. Could this kid have gone crazy missing the fox clan and wandered around the entire fox clan?

“I went for a walk, brother. Before I went, Red Tea called me in for a talk,” Zuimei said.

"Oh?" Fan Ye raised an eyebrow slightly; she could already guess what they were talking about.

Zui Mei smiled and said, "Brother must have heard about it from the elders."

"Seeing your smiling face, you're completely alright. The elder even asked me to comfort you," Fan Ye said with a smile. He knew his younger brother very well; this guy certainly didn't need anyone to comfort him.
