No one knows how much time passed, but by the time Fan Ye dissipated his demonic power, it was already dark.
"Brother, are you all better?" Zuimei noticed his movement immediately, her tone filled with anticipation.
Fan Ye opened her eyes and noticed that the surrounding bushes seemed to have gotten a bit darker.
"Drunken Beauty, what happened while I was healing?"
"The elder sent many foxes to find you, and I helped cover for you." Zui Mei was becoming more and more discerning, and naturally she could see the unique demonic power on Fan Ye.
So they gathered a lot of bushes and temporarily built a screen to block the view.
Then he jumped out and drove all the demons away.
Fan Ye, of course, was unaware of what Zui Mei had done. He nodded and said, "Well done."
"Brother, are your internal injuries healed?" Zuimei stepped forward to help him up.
"I'm completely healed." Fan Ye clenched his fist; it didn't hurt at all anymore.
"That's good." Zuimei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Brother, you wield your folding fan so beautifully, could you teach me?"
"Why would an assassin like you learn that stuff?" Fan Ye asked, raising an eyebrow. Hadn't he taught enough assassin techniques already?
"Just showing off."
"..." Fan Ye raised his hand and unleashed a burst of demonic power, striking the bushes and clearing a path before walking out. "You don't need to learn; you're already the most handsome fox in the fox clan."
"Brother, can you teach me?" Zui Mei was captivated by the way that folding fan was used; it was far more elegant than his assassin's technique, and it was also more durable.
"Let me think about it first."
"No problem, take your time thinking about it, no rush."
"..."
The next day, a little fox spirit woke Fan Ye from his sleep.
"Lord Fanye, the elders are so kind!"
The door opened, and Fan Ye walked out of the room yawning. He looked around but didn't see Zui Mei.
"Where is the most beautiful?"
The little fox demon said, "Lord Zuimei said he went to find fruit for Lord Fanye and told Lord Fanye to go to the elder first, and he will arrive shortly after."
"Okay, I'll wash up first, you go ahead."
"Yes, Lord Fan Ye." The little fox demon bowed, glanced at Fan Ye, and quickly jumped down from the tree and ran away.
Fan Ye raised an eyebrow. If he wasn't mistaken, that look in his eyes just now was... admiration?!
Looks like he became famous overnight yesterday.
Fan Ye smiled and took her toiletries to the stream.
...
When Fan Ye and Zui Mei arrived at the sacred place, they found the entire fox clan waiting there.
When the two of them arrived, all the foxes turned to look at Fan Ye.
With those bright eyes, Fan Ye felt as if she had become famous.
Wait a minute, why is it red? Aren't green and yellow equally good?
With a hint of self-doubt, Fan Ye walked to the front.
As if sensing something, Zuimei automatically stood next to Suying when she walked to the front.
Fan Ye touched his nose, feeling like something was coming at him today. Just as he was about to join the line with Zui Mei, the elder suddenly called out to him.
"Fan Ye, stop right there."
Fan Ye turned around, bowed, and said, "Yes, Elder."
Elder Fuyao, expressionless, looked at all the foxes and said, "The demon realm has been without order for a long time because there is no demon king. Our fox clan has also never had a clan leader, which has led to us being bullied by other demons everywhere. We need a fox who can lead us to survive in this demon realm!"
"Fan Ye! Chieftain!"
"Fan Ye! Chieftain!"
"Fan Ye! Chieftain!"
...
The fox spirits seemed to have been trained, their shouts were perfectly synchronized.
Zui Mei was initially a little surprised, but then she joined the ranks of those who voiced their support.
Mingyao and Suying were naturally very happy to shout.
As for the black tea, it was just for show. He smiled on the surface, but inside he was practically insanely jealous.
Fan Ye, the person in question, was shocked—truly shocked. He knew he would eventually take the position of clan leader, but he hadn't expected the elder to 'lose control' so quickly and hand it over to him.
Good heavens, how much has he done for the fox clan?
This is just the beginning!
Elder Fuyao placed his right hand to the side, and a white light flashed, revealing a white jade fox-head scepter in his hand.
The scepter was much taller than Fuyao, while the jade fox head, symbolizing the clan leader, was extremely majestic.
Fuyao held the fox-headed scepter horizontally and said to Fanye, "The new clan leader should kneel to receive the scepter!"
Fan Ye walked in front of Fu Yao, knelt down, and raised her hands.
Each time a clan chief kneels to receive the scepter, it represents respect for the previous clan chief.
This was a sacred event, and all the foxes watched this moment in silence.
Fan Ye grasped the scepter, and Fu Yao gently tapped his forehead. "This is the mark of the clan leader. From now on, you will be the seventy-eighth clan leader of my fox clan!"
A small flame feather remained on Fan Ye's forehead, said to be a tribute from the ancestral chieftain to commemorate his friendship with the phoenix.
Fan Ye blinked innocently. If the phoenix knew that its good brother, the descendant of the dragon clan, had been eaten by the descendant of the fox clan, would it be furious?
Fan Ye stood up, holding the scepter, and the fox demons behind him followed one after another like wheat fields swaying in the wind.
"Greetings, Chief!"
The fox-headed cane was planted on the ground. Fan Ye turned around, and the flame mark was very conspicuous.
Elder Fuyao stood behind, feeling very gratified. After so many years, they had finally welcomed a new clan leader.
However, one wonders if he'll regret it later...
"Our clan is one of the most intelligent of animals, yet we are now oppressed at the bottom by other clans and bullied by everyone. Now that I have been promoted to clan leader, I have the responsibility to change this situation of the fox clan."
Fuyao listened and nodded. Yes, he had indeed made the right choice.
Then Fan Ye continued, "In this vast world, nothing can be accomplished without rules. According to the clan rules, the clan leader has the right to correct any erroneous rules. Therefore, the first thing I must do as clan leader is to reorganize the clan rules so that our fox clan can have a new order and face a new future!"
The scene became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The demons: Holy crap, the new clan leader's speech is so captivating, I really want to applaud! But what do we do? The new clan leader is going to break the clan rules...
Fuyao's poker face broke down, and she revealed a rare look of astonishment.
What the hell did he choose as the clan leader?!
Why do you have to break the clan rules right from the start?!
That's a clan rule!!!
It hasn't been touched in thousands of years!
Fuyao silently swallowed a mouthful of blood, not daring to utter a sound. The overall situation was already decided, and as an elder, he could only obey orders no matter how many opinions he had.
This is the current clan rule: the clan leader is the highest authority, and the elders are second only to him.
Even if the clan leader were to be removed, there should be at least three elders. But right now, there's only one elder in the clan…
Holy crap, I miscalculated!
"Everyone, rise. Elder Zui Mei Su Ying, come with me to the sacred ground to draft new clan rules. The rest of you may return to your respective homes and await the new clan rules."
"yes."
No one dared to breathe loudly, and those whose names weren't called got up and left.
