He turned around and glanced coldly at the five people, then said to them in a stern voice, "You really refuse to change! With parents like you, it's no wonder your child was raised like this!"
From what happened just now, it can be seen that both parents are selfish.
He thought they were man-eating monsters, and he left the children behind and ran away so fast. No parent who loves their children would do such a thing!
"I don't eat humans, nor am I a demon. Keeping you in this vat is just a small warning. I've already set up a barrier outside the vat, so don't even think about escaping."
"The barrier will automatically dissolve when the time is up. I hope you can take this opportunity to reflect on yourselves. If I discover you abusing animals again... you'll pay the price!"
Qilin scolded them very seriously, then turned around and stopped looking at them.
Then he bent down slightly, stretched out his hand to pick up the little fox on the ground, made a hand gesture and disappeared on the spot.
*****
The little fox was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and forced to run all the way, which could be said to be the result of having its fate strangled by the throat.
However, it did not struggle at all, but just stayed obediently in Qilin's hands, looking up secretly at his handsome appearance.
Qilin was very perceptive and noticed its gaze. He lowered his head and looked at it with a smile and asked, "Why are you peeking at me again?"
The little fox didn't expect that he was caught again. He only had a pair of eyes and was not looking in his direction. How did he find out?
Why peek...of course it's because it's beautiful! Who would watch it if it wasn't beautiful?
Qilin suddenly laughed out loud. When the little fox heard his laughter, he realized that he had accidentally said what was in his heart. It was really... embarrassing! !
However, this is not the first or second time that it has been shy about this matter, and it has become a bit used to it.
Anyway… I’m already embarrassed enough, so I might as well take this opportunity to look at him for a while longer! What a pleasing sight!
It raised its head to the highest point, its neck almost broken by itself, and its round eyes stared straight at its "savior", its gaze moving back and forth on him unscrupulously.
Qilin did not stop it. After all... being admired by others is something worth being happy about, isn't it?
He let the little fox stare at him for quite a while before asking the question he hadn't been able to say just now, "Little fox, how did you know my identity?"
"Huh?" The little fox was immersed in his handsome appearance and was a little confused after hearing this question. But after coming to his senses, he answered truthfully and said proudly, "I guessed it!"
"My father once told me about the five auspicious beasts and the four evil beasts. He also said that no matter if they are immortals, demons, or other races, as long as they are able to cultivate, they will have the day of the five declines of heaven and man."
"The Five Decays of Heaven and Man are difficult to resist and there is no solution. Now, only the Qilin and the Qiongqi remain of the Five Auspicious Beasts and the Four Ferocious Beasts. The aura you exude is neither immortal, demonic, nor human, and your magic is so powerful. You are most likely one of the Qilin and the Qiongqi."
When Qilin heard this, a smile appeared on his lips. He seemed extremely smart now, with no trace of his previous stupidity at all.
The little fox continued his analysis seriously, "I heard that Qiongqi has a bad temper and lives on Mount Qiong all year round. He almost never comes to the human world, let alone cares about such trivial matters."
"You bravely rescued me and taught those ungrateful people a lesson, which shows that you have a strong sense of justice. You are also very handsome, and your magic power is golden. Who else could it be but Master Qilin?"
"What I said makes sense, doesn't it?" She analyzed it clearly and there was a hint of playfulness in her words.
This made Qilin laugh out loud. Although he was usually gentle to others, he was always distant from everyone and would never laugh in front of anyone other than his friends.
But ever since he rescued the little fox today, he couldn't help laughing out loud again and again. Even he couldn't help but feel a little strange. It was really strange! How strange!
He thought about it and shook his head slightly, then changed the subject and said, "You just mentioned father, your father is the leader of the nine-tailed fox tribe?"
"...Yeah." The lively little fox suddenly became a little silent and seemed a little unhappy.
Qilin couldn't help but feel a little strange. He looked at it with an inquiring look and asked, "You are still young and haven't yet transformed into a human form, yet you came to the human world. I'm afraid you ran away secretly? Do you want me to take you home?"
"Home?" The little fox's mood grew increasingly depressed. He pouted and suddenly burst into tears, "I don't have a home anymore!"
Qilin frowned upon seeing this and asked softly, "What on earth happened in Qingqiu?"
An underage nine-tailed fox can easily deal with humans, but it will be completely vulnerable if it encounters other demons. Therefore, Qingqiu will not let this little fox go out alone.
If he hadn't run away secretly, then something serious must have happened.
"I... I have no home! My uncle brought many soldiers to fight with my father for the throne! My mother used forbidden magic to break through the siege and sent me out, telling me to run as fast as possible, the farther the better! Never go back!"
The little fox wandered alone in the human world for many days, with no food to eat, no warm clothes to wear, and no place to stay. Later, he was troubled by those children for a long time, and he felt very aggrieved.
At this moment, the sad thing was suddenly touched upon, and the whole fox felt bad in an instant. It cried and shouted and told everything that had happened before. Tears fell down like a kite with a broken string, and it couldn't be stopped.
Qilin was speechless for a long time after learning the truth. He had never expected the truth to be so. If they were invaded by foreign tribes, he could still help, but he couldn't intervene in the internal fighting between tribes. After all... he was still an outsider.
Moreover, the parents of this little fox probably knew that they were in great danger, so they sent it out using forbidden numbers in order to preserve the last bit of their bloodline.
Even if he drove away the so-called "uncle" of the little fox, its parents would not be able to be resurrected after all. The little fox was still young and knew nothing, so it was simply unable to assume the responsibility of the fox king. By then, the fox clan would be leaderless and might really be invaded by foreign races.
The die is cast, it's a foregone conclusion and there's no way to change it.
The little fox cried more and more sadly, sounding so pitiful.
Qilin couldn't help but feel helpless and powerless. Forgive him for really not knowing how to coax people, let alone how to coax a heartbroken fox who had been homeless.
But he really couldn't do something like "let it cry and just ignore it"!
So...what should we do?
