Back to the present moment——
Shen Wuyou glanced at the shocked and angry Lan Ji and smiled slightly: "Thanks to the good intentions of the Fox King, he raised this child to be so innocent. Now he can be said to have died a worthy death, repaying the master's kindness in cultivating him."
That’s right, there is only false cultivation to take away vitality, but not even a bit of grace in nurturing.
The Fox King had given up on Lan Ji ever since his life was taken away from him over a hundred years ago.
If it weren't for the queen's meticulous upbringing and Lan Chen's utmost care... he would have died countless times already.
Lan Ji heard this, and some unbearable memories flashed through his mind. He rushed towards the direction of the Fox King in disbelief, struggling against the chains that rattled.
"Father! Father, have you been deceived by this flower demon? You said I was your only child, and you said you would rather die than leave me unharmed!"
He tried hard to recall the kindness the Fox King had shown him, and spoke with difficulty, word by word:
"Today, you're still worried about the child's safety, worried that his recklessness might hurt others and himself, cause many misunderstandings, and damage the peace agreement among all races...
"Have you forgotten everything?"
"Fool."
Shen Wuyou sneered and explained mercifully:
"The Fox King has long wanted to unify the Snow Region. He's worried about your safety because the power you gained from him hasn't been fully absorbed yet, and he's worried that it will disappear after you die.
"As for recklessly injuring others... Haha, don't you realize that your recklessness has already caused a lot of unhappiness? Those restless demons are just waiting for the right opportunity to rebel.
"The peace treaty was simply a treaty they signed out of fear of the fox tribe to protect their own safety. To the Fox King, it was all just a deceptive pretext.
"As long as the time comes, this entire Snow Region will belong to the Fox Clan, not the Fox King?
"The Fox King is a man of foresight, having already begun planning a hundred years ago. How can you, a child, comprehend such wisdom?"
Her half-praise, half-criticism confused the Fox King.
The latter had no intention of saying this. After all, he was a very cautious person, and there were some things he intended to keep to himself for the rest of his life.
But now that it has been exposed and I am sure of victory, it doesn't matter if I admit it.
Could it be possible that they could still spread the virus alive?
Thinking this way, he actually liked the feeling of being flattered, so he readily admitted it:
"Ji'er, you still have a lot to learn. But now, I'm afraid there is no chance."
He seemed like a loving father at this moment, of course, if one ignored the fact that he was taking away his own child's life.
Lan Ji's face was filled with sorrow when he heard this. With red eyes, he asked sternly:
"Father! Are you really so heartless?! Although I have been bedridden for years, all I have heard about are your great achievements! My eldest brother has always said that you are the most admirable father. He said that although you have extraordinary abilities and hold a high position of power, you are a kind person who yearns for peace. He said that you are tolerant and have—"
"Are you afraid or do you not know?"
Shen Wuyou interrupted and looked at him with amusement.
"Your good brother died of—"
"Messenger!" The Fox King frowned and spoke out to stop him.
He didn't want to talk about that.
However, Shen Wuyou seemed to be blind to the rejection on his face, and praised him in a gentle voice:
"Hey, Fox King, what are you afraid of? Can these rotten sweet potatoes actually produce a flower?
"Besides, Fox King, have you noticed that the more excited the Second Young Master becomes, the weaker his defenses become. Naturally, the shorter the formation will take."
"Of course..." she said, taking a step back. "If you still want to maintain your image of being tall and majestic, and are afraid that this child will dislike you... just think of it as a slip of the tongue!"
"What a joke! What am I afraid of?"
Hearing this, the Fox King immediately withdrew his hesitation and said disdainfully:
"Chen'er's death was his own fault. What does this have to do with me? If he hadn't associated with aliens and become a wild creature, why would I have the heart to kill him?
"In the final analysis, he is the one who is seeking death!"
Lan Ji's body immediately trembled, his eyes wide open as he stared at the person in front of him, his pupils trembling, and he growled in disbelief -
"Father? You...what do you mean?! Did you really kill my elder brother? You really killed my elder brother?!!!"
As he roared, the Fox King really felt that the power coming from the formation had increased. So he smiled, and the ruthlessness and cruelty on his face became even more undisguised:
"What are you talking about?
"Isn't Chen's death due to you?"
Seeing Lan Ji's furious expression, he sighed and said hypocritically:
"With Chen'er's abilities at that time, how could I, as a father, have trapped him if he hadn't wanted to? What a pity... when he heard that his skills would be passed on to you, he willingly accepted death and gave up all resistance.
"After all, it was you who killed him..."
"You--!" Lan Ji finally got the truth from him. His tense pupils suddenly relaxed, and the next moment a strong murderous intent burst out. His scarlet and bloodshot eyes looked so ferocious as if he wanted to tear the person in front of him to pieces.
"Ahhh Yun Zhengchuan! You are unworthy of being a father!!!"
"Oh, father? This king has never thought that this is a good thing. This king is not dead and will not die. Why do you want the child to come out? Are you killing your father and usurping the throne?"
Yun Zhengchuan said indifferently.
He was originally a gray fox that escaped to the snowy region. His father loved to indulge in pleasure and had hundreds of children. The uneven distribution of territory brought chaos to the family, and he was unable to fight for it, so he came to the sparsely populated snowy region.
