Ye Yingjun looked at her as if he had seen a ghost: "You actually knew I had something on my mind?"
Meng Qingyin: "..."
“I’m not blind. How could I not see that you’re always so restless?” she said helplessly. “You can tell me what’s on your mind. Maybe I can help you out.”
Ye Yingjun sat at her feet, resting his chin on his hand with a very melancholy expression: "No one can help me with this. Perhaps I can only be trapped here and grow old alone?"
Meng Qingyin, unable to bear it any longer, kicked him: "What are you pretending to be, Hua Ze Lei? Do you think you've lost your freedom being trapped here?"
"What Hanazawa Rui? Who is Hanazawa Rui?" Ye Yingjun suddenly grasped the key point. "My lord, you are the leader of our Night Demon Clan. You can't become the leader of someone else! Otherwise, you'll be playing both sides!"
Meng Qingyin actually missed the unreasonable and irrational Ye Yingjun.
"I will always be the leader of the Night Demon Clan, you can rest assured," Meng Qingyin said gently. "Let's get back to your worries. You're trapped here and have lost your freedom, so you're in a bad mood?"
Mentioning this, Ye Yingjun became melancholy again, "That's part of the reason, I suppose."
Meng Qingyin waited for him to continue, but after he finished speaking, he stopped there.
She stood up abruptly, making a move to leave: "Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you! I'm never coming here again. You'd better keep your secret to yourself and don't let me find out!"
Ye Yingjun panicked and clung tightly to her leg, refusing to let her leave: "My lady, you're the only one who can keep me company and relieve my boredom. If you leave, I'll suffocate!"
Meng Qingyin looked at him coldly: "If I had to look at your brooding face every day, I would suffocate. Better to die than see myself suffer, so I'll just have to make do with you."
Ye Yingjun's eyes widened: "How could you be so heartless! Are you just going to watch me suffocate?"
Meng Qingyin sneered: "I will close my eyes."
Ye Yingjun: "..."
"I told you, is that enough?" Ye Yingjun conceded. "I feel so useless. I fell for Huang Teng's scheme and was even sealed here by that old fox king."
"I am the leader of the Night Demons, brave and fearless in battle, but now I am trapped in this small tower counting ants. I feel like a complete failure."
Ye Yingjun looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, trying not to let his tears fall.
"I even thought about using the power of the White Fox Clan to help me break the seal, but that idea is ridiculous. Although the White Fox Clan and the Red Fox Clan have conflicts, they are both fox clans after all. If I really asked the White Fox Clan for help, wouldn't the two clans join forces to laugh at me? How could I be so spineless?"
Ye Yingjun became more and more upset as he spoke, and tears still slid down his cheeks. What was worse, he had a snot bubble hanging from the tip of his nose, but he was completely unaware of it.
Meng Qingyin knew she shouldn't laugh when others were telling their sad stories, but who wouldn't laugh when they saw such a scene?
"Pfft!" She burst out laughing.
Ye Yingjun snapped out of his sadness and stared at her in disbelief: "Even you're making fun of me?"
Because of breathing, the snot bubble on the tip of his nose was much larger than before, and then it popped with a "pop".
Meng Qingyin burst into laughter: "...Hahahaha!"
Ye Yingjun, in a fit of despair, declared, "I don't want to live anymore! I might as well die!"
Meng Qingyin finally managed to stop laughing. She wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes. "You've been looking so troubled these past few days. Is it because of this?"
Ye Yingjun: "Isn't this serious enough? I actually had such a pathetic thought as asking the enemy for help! I feel ashamed just thinking about it now!"
Meng Qingyin: "So, do you want to leave here?"
“Of course I would like to,” Ye Yingjun changed the subject, “but we absolutely cannot ask the enemy for help! Otherwise, wouldn’t the Night Demon Clan lose all face?”
The thought that the White Fox King and the Red Fox King would secretly laugh at him for being useless made him feel like he had a thorn in his side.
Meng Qingyin patiently persuaded, "Didn't you just say that the White Fox Clan and the Red Fox Clan have always been at odds? If they are at odds, how could the White Fox Clan be your enemy? On the contrary, I think you might become allies and work together to fight against the Red Fox Clan. This is not you bowing down to others and showing weakness, but rather a win-win cooperation."
"A win-win cooperation?" Ye Yingjun pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Since it's a cooperation, naturally both sides should benefit. What benefits can the White Fox Clan get from me? If there are no benefits, why would they cooperate with me?"
Meng Qingyin nodded in agreement: "I am very pleased that you thought of this."
It seems Ye Yingjun isn't completely brainless after all.
Ye Yingjun muttered to himself, "I'm not stupid!"
Meng Qingyin: "Since it's a cooperation, both sides must have something to ask for. I don't know what the White Fox Clan wants, but we can talk about it."
Ye Yingjun sighed: "There's no way to negotiate. I can't contact the White Fox Clan at all."
Meng Qingyin: "I can contact the White Fox Clan."
Ye Yingjun asked in surprise, "How were you able to contact them?"
The White Fox Clan lives on Pinggu Star, but this is the world created by Huang Teng. How could the leader have made contact with the White Fox Clan?
Meng Qingyin raised her chin: "Have you forgotten? I am the chosen one."
Ye Yingjun: "That's right! You are the chosen one to lead the Night Demon Clan. Let alone a simple matter like contacting the White Fox Clan, even Huang Teng is probably no match for you!"
Meng Qingyin: "..." There's no need to blindly worship her like this.
"Anyway, just wait for my good news."
...
Back on the train, Meng Qingyin took out the fox bead that the white fox had given her from her system backpack and held it tightly in her palm.
The white fox said that if you want to find her in the future, you can use this fox pearl.
She tried to call out to the white fox in her mind, and only felt the fox bead faintly warming in her palm.
That way, the white fox should be able to receive her call, right?
Meng Qingyin put away the fox pearl and waited for nightfall.
After dinner, she said she was a little tired and went to her room to rest early.
In my dream, the white fox indeed came.
Meng Qingyin skillfully picked it up and rubbed its head.
The white fox squinted its eyes contentedly: "Why did you suddenly contact me?"
Meng Qingyin didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Little White, who is the current White Fox King?"
The white fox raised its head and looked at her: "She's my sister. Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Meng Qingyin: "Do you still remember Ye Yingjun? He's the leader of the Night Demon Clan. You once entered his dream. He's been sealed in the Tower of Babel by the Red Fox King for a thousand years, and he longs to regain his freedom. Could you use your dream-entering ability to let him talk to your sister?"
The white fox understood: "Ye Yingjun wants to use the power of the white fox clan to break the seal of the red fox king, right?"
