Tu Shanyu's face paled, but she still said in a low voice, "That's right. The demon race follows the law of the jungle. We fox women are known for our beauty, but we are not good at fighting. Naturally, we will attract the covetous eyes of all sides, so we can only rely on the protection of the strong."
"Among the beast races, the tiger and lion races are the most powerful. Due to historical reasons, the fox and tiger races are relatively close, so we chose to rely on Hu Qianxiao. Over the years, he has protected us a lot, and of course, we have also done a lot for him. So, in the eyes of outsiders, everyone thinks I am Hu Qianxiao's woman."
"Because I needed to use his reputation to deter other unscrupulous people, I didn't clarify it to the public. I don't know why Hu Qianxiao also tacitly approved of this behavior."
Zuan chuckled, truly embodying the phrase "a fox borrowing the tiger's power."
"Then are you Hu Qianxiao's woman?" He looked into Tu Shanyu's eyes.
Tu Shanyu said resentfully, "Didn't you try it yourself last night, young master? No one in the world knows better than you whether it's true or not."
Thinking of the alluring beauty from the previous night, Zu An couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart: "So, was it Hu Qianxiao who sent you here last night?"
Is Hu Qianxiao suffering from some serious illness that he sent the woman he's having an affair with to deliver it?
The key point is that I had never even heard of this name before today, so why would he want to target me?
Tu Shanyu's face paled slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded: "It was indeed Hu Qianxiao who sent me last night, but he didn't tell me... he didn't tell me to do that. I don't really know what happened, I just... just..."
After saying that, she felt extremely remorseful. The best way to make amends now was to pretend that she had been willing last night. That way, she could leave a good impression on him and increase his affection for her.
Oh no, I'm definitely not a qualified fox spirit. I've disgraced my ancestors.
Zu An was slightly taken aback. He had always thought that the other party had taken the initiative yesterday. He originally thought she was a seasoned veteran, but it turned out to be a naive young girl, which surprised him.
He suddenly had a thought: "Did you use your seductive arts on me yesterday?"
Tu Shanyu was somewhat flustered, but under the other party's intense gaze, she still felt guilty: "I only used a little bit, just a little bit."
Zuan finally understood that it was probably because she had used the fox clan's seductive arts on him. However, due to his soul contract with Daji, and Daji being the highest-ranking nine-tailed celestial fox in the fox clan, it was natural that she would suffer a backlash.
Oh, I thought it was my own charm.
He thought for a moment, then summoned Daji to see if she had any connection with the Qingqiu Kingdom in this world.
Soon, a woman in white, dressed in snow-covered clothes, appeared out of nowhere in the sky. No matter how many times you saw her, you would be amazed by her perfect and unparalleled beauty.
However, her usual expressionless face quickly turned into panic as she lost her footing and fell straight down.
Daji is only a seventh-rank official, far from being a grandmaster, so naturally she can't fly in the sky.
Zu An cursed himself for being careless and hurriedly reached out to grab her, but just as he was about to touch her body, she twisted her body and forcefully dodged away.
Zuan: "???"
He then remembered that the Valkyrie had always forbidden him from any physical contact, but in this situation, she would rather fall to her death than let him touch her.
He felt as if he had been critically injured.
Is it easy to feed them one Vitality Fruit at a time?
Despite the complaints, we can't actually let her fall to her death.
But the other party wouldn't let him have any physical contact. Just as he was wondering what to do, an idea suddenly struck him. He took out the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) he had obtained from Chi Wen, flicked his wrist, and wrapped it around Daji's waist. With a gentle pull, he brought her back to his side.
With the Hun Tian Ling securing her, Daji was able to float in the air.
At first, Daji instinctively struggled, but after realizing that it was Zuan who had tied her up, she quieted down and stared curiously at the red ribbon on her body.
Tu Shanyu, standing to the side, was stunned by the sudden turn of events and couldn't quite grasp the relationship between the two.
However, her attention was quickly drawn to Daji, and she felt a strange sense of familiarity with the incredibly beautiful woman in front of her.
"Do you know her?" Zuan asked, seizing the opportunity.
"I don't know," Tu Shanyu said, looking somewhat bewildered. "Logically, I shouldn't know her, but I have a feeling that I should. There's a sense of familiarity about her, as well as a sense of pressure. It's strange, considering that her cultivation level seems to be lower than mine. Why am I afraid of her?"
Suddenly her expression changed: "She...she...she..."
Zu An hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"I finally remember where I saw her before!" Tu Shanyu trembled slightly, her voice becoming excited.
"You've seen her?" Zu'an was taken aback. That shouldn't be the case. Even if Daji was a fox spirit, it's been countless generations. How could they have met?
Tu Shanyu said, "Our Fox Clan has a succession of rulers in each generation. The previous ruler or an elder of the clan will activate the power of the bloodline. When the power of the bloodline is activated, the image of the Fox Clan's ancestor will appear in their mind. And the most powerful one in our Fox Clan since ancient times is the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. How come she looks so much like the image in my memory?"
It's no wonder she didn't remember immediately; it's mainly because a long time had passed since her bloodline was activated, and the scene flashed by in an instant. Moreover, it was difficult for her to connect the delicate and timid woman in front of her with the powerful being in her memory.
Upon hearing her explanation, Zu'an's heart stirred, and he put Daji back: "She does have some connection with your fox clan, but it's not what you think."
