Mu Chuchu spoke slowly and deliberately, her eyes blazing with anger, "What? Are you just spouting nonsense as the acting clan leader? I've only been down the mountain for a few days, and you've already attracted the attention of the Serpent Demon Clan. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
"Among the demon race, the nine-tailed fox is supreme. Given your status, peace is destined to be elusive. The serpent demon clan is just the beginning; others will also try to kill you before you regain your demonic power. The demon realm has been in chaos for a thousand years, and countless demons have become accustomed to their freedom. Your appearance as king will surely cause a huge uproar, as you surely know..." Fox Qingling said, sounding aggrieved. "Besides, what use is Little Gold with you? This little fool hasn't even cultivated a nine-tailed fox yet, let alone transformed into human form. How can you place such a heavy burden on this kid?"
"Dad! How could you dislike me! I'm your own son!" Jinzi asked in surprise, his eyes wide.
"I don't have a useless son like you." Hu Qingling glanced at Jinzi with great disdain, then took a breath and continued, "Your Majesty, the best, and only, way now is for you to put everything down and come back to the Fox Clan with us to inherit the demonic power left by the previous clan leaders, and then go and destroy that old serpent of the Snake Clan."
"Uncle, why did you let my sister go back again? She said she doesn't want to be the queen!" Chou Chou said unhappily to Hu Qingling.
"This isn't a matter of whether we want to or not. The die is cast, and we have no choice but to go. Do you have a better way?" Hu Qingling retorted.
"I don't have the time. That serpent vulture captured my father, and if I don't go there at midnight, my father will die." Mu Chuchu was well aware of the current situation, and Hu Qingling was indeed right.
She is a nine-tailed fox, a born queen of the demon realm.
Her appearance would cause turmoil in both the demon and human realms, and for Mu Chuchu, returning to inherit the position of Demon King of the Fox Clan would undoubtedly be the best outcome.
But Mu Chuchu didn't like that kind of restrictive life and had never agreed before. Now, it's too late for her to go back.
Inheriting power is no child's play; it will take at least a few days. By then, Mu Tianhua will be long dead.
Upon hearing Mu Chuchu's words, Hu Qingling's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Your Majesty is nothing more than a mere human."
Hearing Hu Qingling's words, Mu Chuchu suddenly narrowed her eyes and glanced at him. "You mean, I can abandon this body's father and go directly to the Fox Demon Clan with you, regardless of his life or death?"
"The body you're currently inhabiting has far too many weaklings. This time, Mu Tianhua was captured, and you rescued her. But next time, the Serpent Vulture will learn of your weakness and capture others to continue threatening you. Someone as intelligent as you shouldn't be unaware of such a simple truth. Once you rescue someone, it will never end." Hu Qingling sighed heavily. "Saving people isn't the problem; the key issue is, how many people will truly thank you? You are a demon, and humans and demons are different. Too many people cannot accept your identity, including your current body's father. Once he knows you are a nine-tailed fox spirit, will he still consider you his daughter?"
"Dad, stop talking..." Little Jinzi didn't want to hear her father use such cruel reality to hurt her sister.
