"Wuyou, there's something wrong with this monster."
Suddenly, a long-lost voice came from the sea of consciousness, and Shen Wuyou said in surprise:
【Luo Tou'er, are you finally awake? 】
"Hmm..." The voice sounded a little tired and sleepy, probably because he had just woken up.
"This old demon is clearly frail and his internal organs are failing. Logically, he should be near death, but he still appears to be in good health. It's as if he's clinging to life by some means."
As it was speaking, the voice of the Fox King suddenly came—
"Ji'er, don't act rashly. Since your eldest brother's death, the fox clan... cough cough cough..."
The Fox King looked heartbroken but had to endure it, which was heartbreaking to see.
Lan Ji immediately stepped forward to comfort him, "Don't worry, father. Although I've only just woken up, I'm already feeling much stronger. I will follow my elder brother's example and protect the fox clan with my life, so that your father will not regret sacrificing his life to find this treasure for me and save me from my sickbed."
At this moment, he looked like a filial son sitting at the feet of his beloved wife. He took the medicine handed over by the maid, helped the Fox King drink it, and patted the Fox King's back with his hand.
Just the smell of this medicine...
[What if you swallow the demon core of your own kind? ]
Shen Wuyou and the miniature version of Jing Mo hid in Lan Ji's sleeves and could not see with their own eyes the medicine the Fox King took, but perhaps because they had been with Bai Yumo for too long, they always felt that there was something wrong with the aura of the Fox King.
Moreover, thanks to Carrot Head and the protagonists, although she has not seen all of them, she has seen 99% of them, and they are all very inconsistent with the aura in this medicine bowl.
Then connect with what Lan Chen saw in his memory...
At this point, Carrot Head also gave a positive answer: "A sufficiently powerful demon pill can indeed temporarily repair the damage, but the cost is too high, and the method is sinister and can easily affect the mind. Going crazy or falling into demonic state is considered good..."
I see...
A light bulb went off in Shen Wuyou's mind, and the next moment, bits of red pink floated out from Lan Ji's sleeves.
The dust-like powder slid onto the Fox King's clothes unnoticeably as Lan Ji raised his hand, and disappeared in an instant.
"Alas... You are my only child. I only hope that you can live well. Even if the road ahead is an endless abyss, a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, I am willing to endure it for you."
The Fox King's eyes were filled with love, and he said earnestly:
"Ji'er, as long as your father is still alive, I will never ask you to take any risks. Your father has lived for so long, it's time for you to..."
"Father!" Lan Ji called out in disapproval.
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more..."
He patted Lan Ji's shoulder and said worriedly:
"Don't do anything stupid..."
"Son understands!"
Lan Ji said this, but his expression showed no such intention. After a few words of comfort to the Fox King, he returned to the mansion with heavy steps.
"Meow--!"
A black cat was thrown out roughly and fell to the ground.
Lan Ji stared at the red collar around the cat's neck and cursed, "How can I believe that my kind father is the unforgivable sinner you claim he is?!"
"Don't be impatient..."
Shen Wuyou, who transformed into a red rope necklace, said:
"I know where that place is. I'll take you there after nightfall, and you'll know when you see it."
The black cat dishonestly stretched out its claws to pull at the collar, trying to pull her off, but Shen Wuyou would not do as he wished. Instead, he tightened the collar, strangling him so much that he couldn't breathe.
"Witch, get down here!" Jing Mo waved his four claws and struggled and rolled on the ground.
Shen Wuyou sneered, "If it wasn't for the purpose of showing you the truth and clearing Lan Chen's name, do you think I'd be willing to take the risk of bringing a stupid cat like you?"
"If you don't behave yourself, I'll just strangle you to death and save me the trouble of solving this unjust case!"
The black cat lay on its back, constantly pulling at its collar, and Shen Wuyou was also constantly strangling it and shaking it back and forth. At first glance, it looked like a naughty black cat was playing alone.
Lan Ji took a look, then turned his head away, unable to bear to look at it:
"I don't think my father has done anything wrong. It's his Snow Owl Clan that's going too far. Not only did they rely on their wings to provoke me, but their queen even shamelessly sent a succubus to mock my father! They've repeatedly toyed with our envoys, clearly acting with impunity and deliberately provoking a fight!"
"Hearing you say that, it sounds like the Fox Clan has suffered a great loss." Shen Wuyou replied while engaging in a battle of wits and courage with the black cat, "But think about it, if the Fox Clan was truly of low status and subject to constant bullying, how could they have monopolized the most prime location in the Snow Region for hundreds of years?"
"The Snow Owl Tribe's provocation is true, but your father is no simple man. In our conversation just now, he kept emphasizing that it was because of his selfless help that you are healthy and strong today. He also hinted that the Fox Tribe is in imminent danger..."
She suddenly changed the subject and asked, "If you had never met me and heard about your eldest brother's death, what would you have done?"
"So what if you heard it?"
Lan Ji and Lan Chen are similar in this respect. They both put justice above everything else and are willing to give up everything for the safety of the fox clan.
He said: "As a member of the Fox Clan, I must fight for the Fox Clan, even if it means sacrificing my life!"
"Then how do you view those who are not content with the status quo, who are ambitious and engage in burning, killing, and looting in an attempt to dominate their own clan?"
"The Snowland belongs to all living beings. Anyone who attempts to monopolize it deserves death!"
"Very good, I'll remember what you said."
...
As night fell, the icy cold of the snowy region permeated the entire palace, and an eerie chill mixed with a strange fragrance penetrated the city walls.
