Mieming lowered his head, knelt on one knee in front of her, and performed the respectful salute of the fox tribe.
He held Suixue's left hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it.
"Chief, I deserve death."
"It is my fault. I hope you will forgive me."
Sui Xue had seen this kind of ceremony in the original book. It seemed to be the last ceremony performed by Mie Ming before he cut the original owner into pieces.
Remember that scene,
She felt inexplicably uneasy.
But when he lowered his head, he saw that Mieming was respectful and humble again.
Maybe——
It must be an illusion.
Sui Xue suppressed the inexplicable discomfort in her heart and helped him up.
"It's nothing. Perhaps it's because the Serpent Tribe's ambitions have been growing. As their leader, I'm naturally worried."
"In order to shoulder the burden, I naturally have to work harder and make some changes."

A young boy's voice came over.
Jian Zhaoshuang stood there with his arms folded, looking at her with a resentful expression.
Sui Xue was stunned.
Wanshanhan?
What's going on.
Sui Xue stood on tiptoe and looked into the house.
I saw a person in clear green sitting at the main table.
He raised his bare hand, held the teacup, slowly took a sip of tea, and without raising his head, said something to Sui Xue.
"Excuse me for a moment."
Jian Zhaoshuang was a little dissatisfied and was about to explode when Wan Shanhan frowned slightly, stood up and walked to Sui Xue's side.
