This was the first time in Su Man's life that she was threatened by a fox. It was a rather strange feeling.
Fortunately, these foxes also realized that they were too weak and transformed into human form.
Well, not exactly human, after all, they still have fox heads.
Gray Fox pointed a harpoon-like weapon at Long Junling and said, "I'm asking you a question, are you deaf...ah!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gray Fox screamed, and the arm holding the harpoon was broken from the root, and blood gushed out.
The foxes that were unable to dodge were covered in blood. They didn't even see how Long Junling made his move and were all terrified.
"Who are you!"
Long Junling looked at them coldly, "You are not worthy to know my name. Call your clan leader."
“…”
Due to Long Junling's magical power, these foxes didn't dare to speak, but Su Man still saw a bunch of asterisks on their faces. Damn, what a pretentious guy.
In a short while, the fox-headed man brought a group of people over, pointing at Long Junling and shouting, "It's him who hurt Gray Fox!"
The people who came this time were obviously of a higher level than the previous fox-headed people. The leader of the team was a man in a green shirt who looked gentle and refined.
However, Suman's fox instinct made her sense that the other party's strength should not be underestimated.
At the same time, he also noticed Su Man's gaze.
When their eyes met, his expression showed a moment of astonishment, but he quickly returned to normal, making Su Man wonder if she was seeing things.
Compared to the shouting of Gray Fox and the others, Qing Yi was much gentler and more polite. He looked around and fixed his gaze on Long Junling. "My name is Qing Li. I was not aware of the arrival of a distinguished guest from the Celestial Clan. I apologize for not welcoming you."
Celestial Clan...
Hearing these two words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The fox-headed man who had just acted rashly was still frightened and dared not say anything more.
Among the six realms, the Celestial Clan was the most respected, followed by the Human Clan. As for the Fox Clan, they were considered demonic and naturally did not dare to act rashly.
Long Junling glanced at Qingli and said, "Oh, you are quite sensible. Call your clan leader. I want to see her."
After all, he is the head of the clan, but in Long Junling's mouth, he treats him like a cat or a dog, shouting at him casually. Even though he is from the Celestial Clan, his words are still irritating to people.
For a moment, all the members of the fox tribe were a little indignant.
In this situation, an ordinary person would be caught in a dilemma. If they didn't invite the clan leader, this ancestor would be hard to offend, which would cause unrest among the fox clan at best, or even cause a conflict between the two clans. But if they invited the clan leader, where would the fox clan's reputation be?
But Qingli acted as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency wants to see the clan leader. I should have gone to ask him for you, but the round trip is too time-consuming. I'm afraid you'll be exhausted and have to wait here..."
Seeing that Long Junling didn't get angry, he continued, "Besides, as the clan leader, it's not easy for us younger generations to meet him. We have to borrow your name. I wonder where you are from and what you want to do in our fox clan?"
Even Su Man had to say that this public relations was a talent.
With just a little effort, he not only elevated Long Junling but also saved the face of the Fox Clan leader. He even managed to turn the tables and test Long Junling's background.
It seems that this Qingli must be a big figure in the fox clan.
Although Long Junling knew exactly what Qingli was thinking, his words were watertight. Furthermore, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he walked down the steps Qingli had set up. "I have something important to discuss with the clan leader. I'll explain it to her when I see her later."
Qingli didn't force it and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I will lead the way for you."
"please."
Looking at Qingli's back, Su Man smiled and shook her head. He was clearly a guard, but he called him a guide. Foxes are indeed cunning.
-
With Qingli leading the way, the rest of the journey was much smoother.
After crossing the hills, they came to a place that looked like a town. However, the buildings here were not wooden and tiled houses like humans, but mostly caves or tree houses.
The green trees are shady, the mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, it is a real paradise.
Qingli pointed to the tallest building in front and said, "This is the palace of the fox clan."
The chief's residence was naturally much more luxurious than that of other foxes. On the left and right of the entrance to the cave were two huge stone statues, each two feet tall. They were not stone lions, but two foxes, carved so vividly that they seemed to be alive.
The entrance doesn't look big from the outside, but once you go in you'll find a whole other world. One cave leads to another, and without Qingli leading the way, you'd be lost.
After turning a few corners, they arrived at a relatively spacious space that looked like a main hall. However, there were no tables, chairs, or benches, only a few stone pillars covered with animal skins.
Seeing that there was no one here, Long Junling's brows were filled with impatience, "Didn't you say you wanted to see the clan leader? Where is she?"
As soon as the words fell, a charming female voice sounded, "Who wants to see me?"
Suddenly, mist rose from the high seat, and the smell of incense powder made Suman's throat itchy.
When the fog dissipated, a graceful woman appeared. She was only wearing a purple dress that covered her chest and a furry shawl on her shoulders, covering half of her shoulders.
This is the patriarch of the fox clan, Zixiang Li.
Zi Xiangli looked at Long Junling with her narrow eyes, "Are you the Celestial Clan member who trespassed into our Fox Clan's barrier?"
She stroked the strand of black hair draped over her shoulder and said, "You're quite handsome. Haha, why don't you stay and have some fun with me."
Before Long Junling could speak, Xiang Lan was furious, "Shut up, we are the immortals you covet!"
"Supreme Immortal?"
Zi Xiangli twisted her hips as she approached Long Junling, her nostrils flaring as she sniffed. Her expression suddenly changed. "Who are you?"
Long Junling's eyes were cold, "Send away the people around, I need you to do something."
Zi Xiangli's pupils spun rapidly, and then she said, "Qingli, take the guests and settle them down. Tell the children to prepare a banquet to entertain the distinguished guests."
"yes."
...
Long Junling stayed to have a secret talk with Zi Xiangli, while Su Man and Xiang Lan were taken to their residence by Qingli. He also left a little fox for them to use.
Ever since Long Junling made an example of her last time, Xiang Lan has changed her usual behavior and has been very dedicated. As soon as she entered the house, she made Su Man's bed and folded the quilt. She was as diligent as a mannequin.
The beds here are stone beds. Although not as comfortable as soft beds, they have their own unique flavor.
"Girl, please lie down for a while. If you feel hard, I will go out and get two more quilts."
"No need, you can go down."
"yes."
As soon as Xiang Lan left, Long Junling came with Zi Xiangli.
Zi Xiangli raised the corners of her eyes and glanced at Su Man. "Sure enough, she is the offspring of the fox and ghost tribes."
Under Su Man's puzzled gaze, she twisted her hips and walked closer, placing her palm on Su Man's forehead.
Su Man felt a chill on her forehead, and her body seemed to be frozen, unable to move.
After a moment, Zixiangli let go of her hand.
"How?" Long Junling asked.
