The dragon fox sat nearby, bored, its big fluffy tail wagging constantly.

In front of her, the dragon coiled around the black turtle tightly, as if an anaconda was strangling its prey, but in fact they were practicing the breathing technique together.

The air around them gradually became humid. It was obvious that the level of this mental method was so high that it could even affect the surrounding environment.

Logically speaking, since Long Long was able to learn such a high-level mental method, Long Hu should also congratulate him.

But the little fox was very unhappy, and felt inexplicably sad as if he had lost something.

She didn't want to stay here, so she left the secret room and wandered around aimlessly outside until she met Hu Li.

Tushan Jun of the Qingqiu Sky Fox clan, who is also the aunt of Longhu, is said to be very proficient in space-related magic. It is easy for her to have breakfast in Qingqiu Mountain in West Province and stay at Jianmu Island in East Province in the evening.

Seeing that his aunt had come to the dragon clan's side at some point, Longhu was not surprised at all, but just walked forward with a depressed look on his face.

"What's wrong, little fox?" Aunt Hu Li hugged her and rubbed her head, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Can you tell, auntie?" Long Hu raised his head in surprise.

"Your little emotions are all written on your face." Hu Li pinched her nose affectionately.

I remember that when she was little, her sister also liked to pinch her nose like this.

Now it's my turn to take care of my sister's daughter...

Hu Li's thoughts were in a mess, and he only heard Long Hu say aggrievedly:

"Aunt, I think I'm so weird."

"strangeness?"

So the dragon fox began to talk in a rambling manner.

This matter is not complicated. It's just that seeing Long Long and Gui Ling'er practicing dual cultivation made Long Hu feel anxious and uneasy as if he was being excluded.

This anxiety came so suddenly that even Longhu himself couldn't understand it:

First of all, this technique was designed for the dual cultivation of the Dragon Clan and the Black Turtle. Secondly, both of them are water-based monsters, so it is normal for strange phenomena to occur when they practice together.

But Longhu was just unhappy, and she didn't even know why she was unhappy.

"Silly child, this is possessiveness." Hu Lixin said what this was, and then explained earnestly, "For us, the Sky Fox clan, this is a very normal phenomenon."

"Possessiveness?" Longhu was puzzled.

"When you really fall in love with someone," Hu Li explained with a smile, "you want everything about him."

"Don't even mention him practicing dual cultivation with others. Even if he talks to another female, you will feel unhappy. This is the so-called possessiveness."

"So," Long Hu asked, not quite understanding, "I have every reason to be unhappy, because after all, I like Long Long so much."

"That's right." Hu Li laughed and continued to teach her, "And it's all his fault because he didn't give you enough sense of security."

"Yeah." Long Hu accepted this statement without resistance. "But although this is true, if I complain to Long Long, he will definitely not understand. Instead, he will think that I am making trouble for no reason."

When Hu Li heard this, he knew that Dragon Fox had completely grasped the essence of Sky Fox's logic, and laughed:

"Yes, so you have to know when to do things."

"First of all, you have to be brave enough to express your unhappiness - don't feel guilty. As I said before, it's not that you are being unreasonable, but he should give you enough sense of security, but he doesn't."

"Secondly, expressing unhappiness is not the same as venting emotions, because men will only feel annoyed by it. You need to show your unhappiness just right, but not make him feel deliberate - inadvertent expression is the best way."

"Finally, when he notices your little emotion and tries to make amends, you can take the opportunity to pull back... Xiaohu is so smart, he will definitely understand what I mean."

"Pull in the opposite direction?" Long Hu said thoughtfully, secretly keeping his aunt's words in mind.

After saying goodbye to Longhu and leaving, Hu Li walked quickly down the Jianmu passage and finally arrived at another quiet room.

"What exactly is going on in Zhongzhou?" Hu Li asked in a stern voice. "Don't tell me that your actions in Zhongzhou have also involved Xiaohu and Longlong!"

"That was just an accident." Shi Yao walked out slowly from the depths. "The first two assassinations, including the plans against Long Long and Qi Weihuan, were all arranged in advance by the White Tiger Clan."

"I know the first two assassinations had nothing to do with you." Hu Li ruffled her hair irritably, "But the assassination of Qi Qiaosong, which almost implicated Long Long Long Hu, don't tell me it wasn't your plan!"

Shi Yao was silent for a long time, then slowly said:

"If Qi Qiaosong dies there, the alliance between White Tiger and Qilin will certainly not be able to continue."

"The Northern Province Xuanwu will be the biggest winner, and in order to avoid this, Qilin and Canglong will most likely unite. At that time, as long as your Qingqiu clan exerts its strength and persuades the White Tiger clan, there is a high probability that you will be able to achieve a perfect 'horizontal alliance' to fight against the Xuanwu clan..."

"It's a pity that Long Long saw through it, wasn't it?" Hu Li sneered, "Even if you didn't inform him in advance, he found the optimal solution almost instantly."

"This is also a headache for us." Shi Yao frowned and said, "In our opinion, if the full-scale war cannot be nipped in the bud, there is a high probability that Canglong will choose Beizhou in the end."

"Although Canglong Patriarch looks rough and unruly, he is actually overly cautious, especially when it comes to major decisions in the past."

"Considering the bad relationship between South Province and Central Province, Patriarch Canglong can judge that South Province will stand on the side of North Province, allowing the Black Turtle camp to gain the upper hand. And his risk-averse nature will most likely prompt him to choose North Province. In this way, the alliance between Central Province and West Province will undoubtedly fail."

"This kind of war situation will allow the Xuanwu clan of Beizhou to reap the greatest fruits of victory..."

At this point, Shi Yao's voice was unusually cold:

“…This is an outcome we cannot accept.”

"The Xuanwu clan treats Long Long differently." Hu Li said coldly, "After all, you still don't regard him as one of your own."

"You are wrong." Shi Yao shook her head calmly, "The Xuanwu Patriarch's choice of Longlong does not mean the choice of Jiaolong - they actually want to choose Canglong."

“If Long Long and Gui Ling’er can both cultivate the Xuanwu Beiming Divine Art, they can lay a deeper foundation for the alliance between the Black Tortoise and the Dragon Clan. This is exactly what the Xuanwu Patriarch used to do—don’t forget, he did the same thing to the Qilin Clan back then.”

"...It's just finding a new turtle shell."

Hu Li was speechless this time and remained silent for a long time.

"The Azure Dragon and the Black Turtle are both our enemies." Shi Yao concluded, "Whether it's for you White Tigers or us Dragons."

"Of course, I didn't accuse Long Long of doing anything wrong. Because he didn't know the above information, and based on his position at the time, if the little Qilin prince died there, it would not only be harmful to the Canglong clan, but also bring great trouble to him and Longhu."

"You should trust us a little more." Hu Li finally sighed, his expression slightly relaxed, "We are your allies, Long Long and Xiao Hu... are also descendants of your clan."

"If it hadn't been for the lack of communication, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

"...I'm sorry." Shi Yao said faintly, "As the descendants of Jiaolong, trust is a very luxurious thing for us."
