White Deer Sleeps Among Withered Leaves

Although King Sen regained consciousness, his body was still extremely weak. He was awake for less than three hours a day, spending the rest of the time in a coma.

In those short three hours, he spent half an hour vomiting blood.

During those brief but precious three hours, Lu Yixin stayed by Sen Wang's side without leaving him for a moment.

Three days after regaining consciousness, King Sen ordered the execution of Yue Fuge and the permanent imprisonment of Xi Wu, while also imprisoning all the remaining members of the Wolf Clan and Tiger Clan.

Upon seeing Qian Dai Yao Hua and Yue Lan Xin again, Shen Qie Xing couldn't bear to look at them and lowered his eyes.

Qian Dai Yao Hua was extremely thin, as if she would collapse if the wind blew her away, while Yue Lan Xin's face was covered in dust, her eyes were dull, and she no longer had her usual liveliness and playfulness.

"Mommy, I want Daddy to hold me."

After Yue Lanxin uttered those words in her childish voice, Qian Dai Yaohua could no longer control herself and knelt on the ground, hugging her daughter and wailing.

Lu Yixin quickly wiped her face, disappeared into the crowd, and stopped looking at the escort team.

"Brother Qiexing, I'm so sad."

She rested her head on Shen Qiexing's shoulder, clutching the fabric of his robe with both hands, and said in a muffled voice, "No matter what heinous things Yue Fuge has done, the child is still innocent..."

Shen Qiexing didn't know how to comfort her, so he gently patted her back, offering her silent comfort.

This won't be the last time. Even if the Wolf Clan and the Tiger Clan fall, there will be countless more Yue Fuge and Xi Wu. As long as King Sen is still on the throne, this war will never end.

“Your Majesty,” Shi Xu said in a low voice, “why didn’t you fight back when Yue Fuge attacked you that day?”

The Forest King is the highest-ranking ruler of the Forest Clan, the vessel that holds the faith of the Forest Clan's people, and a deity of this realm. Such a deity cannot harm His creator.

While God is personified, He is also without fixed abode. Wherever there is faith, there is God.

King Sen chuckled and shook his head: "Child, you'll understand later."

"yes."

In this war, the white lion, brown bear, and snow leopard all paid a heavy price, and the forest tribe finally regained a temporary peace.

It appears as a calm, still body of water, but beneath lies a multitude of turbulent undercurrents.

"Tushan Clan, you knew all along that the Wolf Clan was doomed to lose this battle, which is why you allied with me?"

The spotted hyena leaned back on the soft couch, its voice rising slightly at the end.

Tu Shan Jue raised her fingers, which were as green as jade, and shook them almost imperceptibly.

“It’s not that I knew all along, but rather—it was Chunhu Wan Dai.”

His almond-shaped eyes were upturned, giving off an inexplicable charm. He covered his mouth and chuckled, "Wan Dai divined the result a month ago, so of course I have to believe her."

Unlike other tribes, the fox clan is divided into four groups, each belonging to one of the four leaders: Chunhu Wan Dai of the Chunhu clan, Tu Shan Jue of the Tu Shan clan, Chuan Shan of the Qingqiu clan, and Su Yun Yu of the You Su clan.

The Pure Fox Clan is particularly skilled in witchcraft and divination, and the new generation leader, Pure Fox Wan Dai, is an outstanding practitioner of witchcraft.

The beaded curtain swayed, making a crisp sound, and Tu Shanjue's smile widened. "Speak of the devil and he appears."

A woman dressed in a cool purple dress walked gracefully towards them, her sleeves and swaying skirts adorned with large gold ornaments that shimmered with her steps, making her resemble a mysterious and proud cat.

She covered her face with a purple veil and said coldly, "Where are Chuanshan and Su Yunyu?"

"They're almost here," Tu Shanjue raised his left hand, tapped it a few times, and said with feigned regret, "Why can't I learn your magic?"

"This is not magic, it is divination."

Chunhu Wan Dai frowned and glanced at him, her dark purple eyes filled with disgust.

Tu Shanjue rolled her eyes at her.

Her personality is really annoying.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm late!"

Suddenly, a little girl's voice rang out from the doorway. The three of them looked towards the door and saw Su Yunyu, dressed in a pink dress, sticking out her tongue shyly, followed by Chuanshan, who was twice her height.

“Everyone’s here,” the spotted hyena Butcher grinned, his sharp teeth gleaming coldly. “Now, let’s discuss how to defeat the Forest King in one fell swoop.”

—

The psychological stress and trauma caused Lu Yixin to fall ill quickly.

Shen Qiexing worriedly placed a damp towel on her forehead and scolded, "Do you know that your body temperature is so high that you could make pancakes?"

Lu Yixin's face was burning red, and she couldn't even lift her fingers, but she could still smile at Shen Qiexing, "I don't want... scallions."

She forced a smile so as not to worry Shen Qiexing, and Shen Qiexing knew this, so he stopped teasing her.

"Brother Qiexing, are you angry...?"

Lu Yixin hooked her little finger around his hand, and her voice softened immediately, "I promise I won't work that hard anymore."

The warmth emanating from her body seemed to travel through the point of contact between them to him, and Shen Qiexing instantly felt an unnamed fire ignite in his heart, burning him uncomfortably.

"Don't be angry with me, okay?" Lu Yixin sat up with his help, pressing her entire upper body against him, and wailed pitifully, "I'm a patient now, and you're still being mean to me. I hate you!"

She was probably delirious from the fever. Shen Qiexing smiled helplessly, bent down and ruffled her hair, and said gently, "Where did I yell at you? Don't wrong me. Let go first, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yixin hugged him even tighter, all bark and no bite: "No, no, you'll definitely just leave me all alone!"

“Where can I go by myself?” Shen Qiexing had no choice but to sit down and coax Lu Yixin like a child. “I’ll go make your medicine and I’ll be back soon.”

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yixin suddenly let go and collapsed onto the blanket with a thud.

Shen Qiexing felt her pulse and was amused by her.

Well, he was so burned he passed out.

He meticulously wiped her bare arms and calves inch by inch with a towel soaked in cool water. Even though Little Deer Fairy was sleeping so soundly, she still smacked her lips. Shen Qiexing smiled and gently flicked the tip of her nose before placing the towel aside.

Sleep well. I wonder how long she can enjoy such peaceful days.

When the uninvited guest, Shen Qiexing, barged in, the four fox clan leaders and Tu Zong were scattered throughout the room, resting with their eyes closed.

Su Yunyu and Tu Zong reacted almost simultaneously. Tu Zong transformed into a spotted hyena and nimbly charged towards Shen Qiexing, while Su Yunyu's back transformed into nine pink fox tails that soared into the sky, and powerful foxfire swept towards Shen Qiexing!

Shen Qiexing remained calm and composed, advancing steadily against the foxfire.

The moment the foxfire touched his body, thick white smoke billowed up, and the foxfire vanished completely.

Using fire in front of the overlord of the Heavenly Female Sea, I really don't know how to evaluate her.

Su Yunyu was terrified. A red three-tailed mark lit up between her eyebrows, and she quickly assumed a defensive stance.

—This little girl is quite something. She looks no more than seven or eight years old, yet she was the first to sense him.

—This person is no ordinary person; the Samadhi Foxfire couldn't harm him in the slightest!

Su Yunyu was already considered one of the best in the fox clan. Now, she used about seven or eight tenths of her strength against the God of War, but in his eyes, it was like tickling him.

Some time ago, Shen Qiexing absorbed the magical power of tens of thousands of people, including nearly a thousand immortals. His magical power increased greatly, and among the Sen Clan, apart from the Sen King at his peak, no one else could even touch the hem of his clothes.

This is the original power of the dragon race.

Su Yunyu stopped Tu Zong, who was still unwilling to give up, clasped her hands in a fist and asked cautiously, "May I ask who you are and why you have suddenly entered my fox clan's territory?"

She knew that even if the five of them combined, they might not be a match for this outsider, so it was best to be cautious.

The petite girl's composure and maturity were so striking that the scene was almost comical.

“Don’t worry,” Shen Qiexing said with a smile as he scanned the five people’s faces, his smile growing wider. “Trust me, I’m here to help you all.”

Although the last person he helped was already dead.

While Su Yunyu was confronting Shen Qiexing, Tu Shanjue asked Chunhu Wandai in a low voice, "Can you cast another divination?"

Chunhu Wan Dai's expression was somber, and she shook her head slightly.

Tu Shan Jue was not surprised. Although Chunhu Wan Dai's divination accuracy rate was 100%, as the leader of the Chunhu clan, she could not use divination without restraint.

She had already performed one divination for Yue Fuge in a short period of time, and could no longer perform another.

This will severely damage her heart.

“Since we are not enemies, please come in and have a drink,” Su Yunyu gestured, “Please.”

The atmosphere inside the room was extremely strange, but Su Yunyu seemed completely oblivious. She put down her wine cup and asked Shen Qiexing, "May I ask how you are addressed?"

"With the wind."

These people really do like asking the same questions.

He glanced around at everyone. Even through the veil, he could see that Chunhu Wan Dai looked terrible. Tu Shan Jue seemed to be casually playing with a wine glass, but his attention was actually on him. Chuan Shan stood expressionlessly in the corner with his arms crossed. From Su Yun Yu's trembling hands and the sweat on her forehead, he could tell that she was also extremely nervous, afraid that she might harm them. Tu Zong drank one sip after another, seemingly trusting Su Yun Yu completely.

“I won’t beat around the bush,” Shen Qiexing said, tapping the rim of his wine glass and swirling it. “I can help you all get the position of Forest King.”

Upon hearing this, the five men exchanged glances, their expressions instantly changing to displeasure.

“Lord Suifeng, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Su Yunyu stared at him darkly.

Shen Qiexing chuckled lightly, "Whether you know it or not, you know best in your hearts. Anyway, I've put my words here, and of course you can choose not to believe me."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Five...four...three...

"Wait a minute!"

The prey has taken the bait.

Su Yunyu's expression was complicated as she slowly said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want from us?"

“I have only one request,” Shen Qiexing said with a smile, raising a finger, “I will personally take the life of the Forest King.”
