The aura emanating from this fox-woman was not strong, entirely different from that of the head of the Su family, but one particular characteristic let Feng Qing’an know that this little fox-girl must be gifted. But he still took a look.
[Species: Spiritual Fox] [Attributes: Spirit, Beast] [Potential Level: LordSuperior]
[Combat Level: War General.lnferior]
Feng Qing’an’s face dramatically changed. While the fox-girl’s fur color was the same as the old fox’s, the discrepancy in their natural abilities was just too shocking. It was a topsy-turvy change just over a generation.
“Hmm, you’re pretty good!”
Feng Qing’an glanced at the fruit plate in front of him, thought a little, reached into his pocket, took out a crystal stone as big as half his fist that was emitting a gentle light, and then handed it to the shy fox-girl.
“I don’t have much to give. However, since the Su family has treated me so well, I can offer you this little thing!”
What Feng Qing’an took out was, of course, one of the Moonlight Crystals. For him, this was nothing more than a small thing, casually formed when practicing mystic arts. Sometimes when he created too many, he’d throw them into his waistband. Even if they dissipated over time, it didn’t matter.
That’s because, as he became increasingly proficient, he continued to experiment, changing the structure inside the Moon Crystal, making it lose Moonlight Energy slowly. He believed that one day, the loss would be negligible.
“How could we accept this?”
Seeing the crystal stone in Feng Qing’an’s palm and sensing the strong Moonlight Energy within it, the old fox was startled, swallowed heavily, and resisted the temptation of the crystal stone for himself, promptly declining the offer.
“It’s not for you, so why are you refusing?”
Feng Qing’an laughed, casually tossed the Moonlight Crystal into the fox girl’s lap, and laughed out loud seeing the girl fumble trying to catch it.
“Take it, otherwise I’ll leave. I didn’t come to your Su family to freeload.”
“Thank you for your grace, Master!”
When the old fox listened to him, he was immediately thrilled. He brought his granddaughter here to seek a chance. He didn’t expect the opportunity to come this quickly. Thinking about the treatment his granddaughter had received in the past, his eyes welled with unshed tears.
“Little Wan, don’t you thank the Master quickly!”
“Thank you for your kindness, Master!”
The little fox girl held the Moon Crystal in both hands and hurriedly bowed and thanked him. She didn’t expect that this human being was so generous. “If you like it, that’s good. It’s a small token, so don’t take it to heart.” The old fox’s heart was stirred at Feng Qing’an’s casual demeanor and had no choice but to reveal his purpose in bringing his granddaughter here.
“I brought my daughter here not to covet Master’s opportunities, but to see that you have no one serving you. I thought, let my granddaughter wait on you during your stay in our Su family.
If you need anything, just order her. Although she is a bit shy, she is very obedient and can arrange everything you order properly.”
“That…Could work. ”
Feng Qing’an initially wanted to refuse, but after seeing the old fox’s expression and taking another look at the simple clothes of the fox-girl, he changed his mind.
The foxes in these mountains mimic the Human Race in everything, from their homes to their manners. The clothes on the fox-girl, albeit simple, were a silent confirmation of her position in the Spiritual Fox Clan.
“Thank you for your kindness, Master!”
On hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, the old fox was overjoyed, and his heart overflowed with gratitude. The old fox rushed back from accomplishing the head’s orders and led his granddaughter here without resting. What was his aim?
He had encountered this Master, whom he had personally brought into the house, thus naturally, he was the one expected to arrange for him. This opportunity should not be snatched away by anyone else.
“What’s there to thank? If anything, I should be the one expressing gratitude for letting your granddaughter under my command. But, is she really your granddaughter?”
An intriguing gaze danced in Feng Qing’an’s eyes, curiosity coloring his features. This fox maiden, judging by potential, was stronger than the big demon clan lord.
“Your granddaughter surpasses you by more than just a little!”
“Little Wan is indeed my granddaughter, without a doubt, there’s no falsehood in this!”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s inquiry, the old fox responded with unprecedented certainty, also revealing unconcealable pride.
Having lived a mediocre life and with mediocre talents, having a granddaughter so young yet already possessing divine powers of transformation was his greatest pride and his everything.
Even the Su Family members who have been constantly nourished with spirit food from a young age and frequently guided by elders could not compare to his granddaughter in terms of talents. Their human forms were merely illusions transformed through inferior means.
“This is truly astonishing!”
Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but marvel at the oddity. Demons are not like humans. Among the human race, even from humble origins, one could ascend to the ranks of kings and ministers, as long as the system was not in disorder and there were avenues for upward mobility.
Perhaps due to the disparities among the demon clan, their destiny is pretty much determined at the moment of their birth. Descendants of tigers are destined to roar in the mountains. Rabbit offspring, for the most part, cannot escape the fate of becoming prey.
A dragon will give birth to dragons, a phoenix to phoenixes, the son of a rat will dig holes. This is the cruelest truth in the demon clan. The child of a demon king is eighty or ninety percent likely to become a demon king. The offspring of a big demon will almost certainly become a big demon.
To cite another example, Little Bai, who is by his side. Because her parents are both big demons, the moment she was born, she was destined to become a big demon.
“Master is not aware that although I am the steward of the Su Family, tracing my lineage, I am from the same origin as the rest of the Su family’s sons and elders. We all descend from a Fox King.”
Hearing Feng Qing’an’s sigh, the old fox immediately explained,
“However, my branch of the clan is not blessed with talent and has received fewer and fewer resources over time, causinz us to decline, until mv granddaughter was born!”
“Ah, I see!”
Feng Qing’an could not help nodding. If so, it was no longer peculiar.
A dragon has nine sons, each one different. Even though they share the same ancestors, their talents can’t possibly be the same. Some are strong, some weak, and once a difference in strength arises, there will naturally emerge a hierarchy.
Over generations, blood relatives with the same ancestry can end up locked in the master-servant relationship.
“So, your granddaughter has merely restored the original talent inherent in descendants of the Fox King!”
“Master speaks the truth, however, I am ashamed that due to my limitations, I wasn’t able to offer my granddaughter much assistance!”
As he spoke, guilt crossed the old fox’s face. If he knew when he was young that he would have such a remarkable descendant, he would have given his all. Regrettably, it was too late now and all he could do was implement some small strategies.
“Haha, as the saying goes, the children will have their own luck. Why worry so much? Your granddaughter will have her own fate in the future, and will surely accomplish much. You needn’t worry!”
“Thank you for your auspicious words, Master!”
The old fox bowed, then requested to leave,
“I have many matters to attend to, and dare not linger. I must take my leave for now. If there is anything else, please feel free to instruct my granddaughter.”
After he finished speaking, the old fox hastily left, leaving his granddaughter behind. This made the already shy little fox feel a bit overwhelmed. She hung her head low, not daring to look up at Feng Qing’an.
The black mountain wolf, who was pigging out at the side, gently wagged his tail when he saw this. He was no longer the innocent little wolf of the past.
He had a rough idea of what was happening in front of him and what the old fox was trying to do.
He no longer had intense reactions to these things. He knew that even his master needed his personal space when he was away, and he shouldn’t be in the way at such times, otherwise, he would be seen as a nuisance.
So, Black Mountain got up, called out to Bai Yao, and the two wolves, one black and one white, left the courtyard like the wind, and began to wander around the Fox Clan mansion that had been operating for hundreds of years..
