Chapter 294: You Have Many Friends



Chapter 294: You Have Many Friends

After the Heavenly Diabolism master left, Hu Xian’er’s face was covered in shock and confusion, looking like a sweet but silly little girl.

Chen Chen, who was in the Little Carefree Immortal Palace, could see everything clearly, and he couldn’t help but be amazed by how good of an actress she was.

“Greetings, Acting Clan Leader!”

The old butler was so agitated and emotional that tears welled up in his eyes. He immediately got on his knees and bowed to Hu Xian’er.

Seeing this scene, the clan elder beside him who was at the peak of the Essence Soul realm, also hurriedly bent down and saluted.

Even Hu Qing also lowered his head with a pale expression.

Since Hu Xian’er had become the clan leader, the matter was basically decided.

Even if he wanted to change the situation, there was nothing he could do. After all, the person with the highest authority and the final say in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was still his father who was now at the front line.

As long as he was present, no one could ignore his words even if he didn’t like managing the affairs of the clan. That was the absolute deterrence of a Void Refinement realm powerhouse.

“Acting Clan Leader, please accept the seal.”

The clan elder took out a box and solemnly handed it over to Hu Xian’er.

Hu Xian’er opened it and saw that it contained a squarish white jade seal, on which a Nine-Tailed Fox was carved. It seemed extremely majestic.

“The Clan Leader’s Seal…”

Hu Xian’er carefully took the seal, her heart full of agitation.

The seal was not only a token but also an heirloom treasure of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. It was said to contain a trace of the soul of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s old ancestor.

Now that she had received the seal, she would be blessed by the ancestor. No one below the Void Refinement realm would be able to threaten her safety.

This treasure may be useless for a Void Refinement realm powerhouse like her father, but it was priceless to her.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan elder was full of mixed emotions when he saw that Hu Xian’er had accepted the seal.

He was the oldest demon of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. A long time ago, his father had handed the clan seal to Hu Xian’er’s father.

In the end… The Heavenly Fox Demon Venerable may be very talented in cultivation, but his personality was too carefree and thus, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan hadn’t been able to progress further under his lead.

Now, the clan leader finally had a new successor.

At the thought of this, the clan elder said in a serious tone of voice, “Miss Xian’er, pardon me for saying something treacherous, but you should never follow in the footsteps of the Heavenly Fox Demon Venerable.”

Hu Xian’er smiled and said, “I know, please rest assured, Clan Elder.”

Although she was smiling, Hu Xian’er still didn’t feel too comfortable with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

It was really because during the few days she was imprisoned, no one in the entire Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was willing to speak up for her or help her out of her predicament, which made her feel thoroughly disappointed.

Yet, her master, Chen Chen had traveled across thousands of kilometers and delved into the demons’ territory…all because of a short message she had sent him. That made her feel incredibly touched.

Half a day later, Chen Chen returned to the State of Jin.

Hu Xian’er moved into a new residence. She occupied an entire mountain peak alone.

There was naturally a world of a difference in the treatment she received now that she had become the acting clan leader of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

Although Hu Qing’s cultivation level was in the late-stage Essence Soul realm, Hu Xian’er would probably be the first to reach the Void Refinement realm.

In the Little Carefree Immortal Palace, Chen Chen looked at Hu Xian’er who had changed into a fancy dress and kept sighing in admiration.

“Xian’er, you’re of such a noble status now, I’m too poor to have the cheek to talk to you.”

Chen Chen’s sour tone and his neon yellow skin color made him seem like a lemon spirit.

It was no wonder that he’d be feeling sour.

After hustling for such a long time, he had only made a name for himself in Mount Wufeng. Yet, Hu Xian’er inherited such a huge legacy as soon she returned to her clan, greatly surpassing him.

‘Indeed, the type of family that you’re born into is really far more important than how hard you work.’

“Master, don’t make fun of me. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have come so far today.”

Hu Xian’er bowed to Chen Chen. She was initially all smiles, but after hearing his words, she burst into tears.

Before Chen Chen comforted her, Hu Xian’er suddenly said with unparalleled determination, “Master, if you have any orders in the future, I will obey them without any refusal.”

Seeing her valiant smile, Chen Chen felt no need to be pretentious at this juncture.

Chen Chen shook his head slightly and helped Hu Xian’er up before saying, “Xian’er, since we’re friends, we ought to help each other. Don’t worry, I know what to do. I might need your help in the future, but I definitely won’t let you slip into a dilemma.”

“Master, what about the emissary of the Demon Courts?”

Hu Xian’er seemed rather worried. The emissary of the Demon Courts definitely deserved credit for the fact that she had managed to become the clan leader of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

However, she knew that unlike Chen Chen, the emissary of the Demon Courts would definitely ask for something in return. She reckoned that the emissary, who was also the Heavenly Diabolism master, would soon contact her and give her orders.

Chen Chen’s eyes were full of contempt at the mention of the Heavenly Diabolism master.

“Tell me what orders she gives you, and I’ll decide on your behalf. If it benefits you, you can accept them, but if not, just take it that she’s spouting nonsense!”

“But her strength…”

Hu Xian’er recalled the scene of the Demon Courts emissary taking them to Hu Mei’s residence with fear in her eyes.

Upon hearing her words, Chen Chen sneered.

“Why does her strength matter? I have evidence against her, and she won’t dare to do anything to us! Hah, that demoness only seems to be strong on the surface.”

“I’m at ease to hear that, Master.”

Chen Chen stopped smiling and said with a stern expression, “We shouldn’t stay here any longer. I have to return to human territory. I don’t have any other requests for you now, I just hope to stabilize the situation in both nations. Don’t let the people of the two states get harmed by the demons again.”

“Rest assured, Master, I’ll do that well,” Hu Xian’er answered solemnly.

Chen Chen smiled and left the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range under Hu Xian’er’s escort.

Having resolved an issue that had been troubling him, Chen Chen felt extremely relieved. However, his skin was still bright yellow, and it hadn’t faded yet, which made him feel extremely troubled.

After flying away from the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range, Chen Chen woke up the Parrot Demon King and sat on his back.

The Parrot Demon King was really frightened, and he asked softly while flying, “Lord, you won’t kill me to silence me when we reach that place, will you?”

“No, I’m not such a demon.”

Chen Chen shook his head with an extremely sincere attitude.

However, as soon as he said that, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chen Chen was shocked to see that familiar figure!

He didn’t expect this demoness to be waiting for him here!

“Master of the Heavenly Diabolism, what are you doing here?”

Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Chen Chen forced himself to smile warmly.

The figure suddenly turned around and stood on the Parrot Demon King. She said coldly, “Chen Chen, you disobeyed my orders last time, but I just let you off like that. In hindsight, I feel that I’ve let you off too easily.”

Chen Chen smiled awkwardly, but his heart was full of disdain.

In the beginning, the Heavenly Diabolism master did not dare to do anything to him. Now that she was aware that he was acquainted with Hu Xian’er, he doubted that she would dare to do anything.

‘She’s just scaring me.’

When the Heavenly Diabolism master saw Chen Chen’s smile, she said calmly, “I’ll give you another chance. The matter this time is very important. If you disobey my orders again, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Don’t think that I will always let you blackmail me!”

Hearing this, Chen Chen said solemnly with an extremely austere expression, “Master, please give me your instructions.”

“The one lurking in the Void Spirit Clan can’t hide for much longer. Now that your master, Yu Qiong, and the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord have both reached the Void Refinement realm, the overall situation won’t be affected even if the humans kill him.”

“However, those old guys of your human race are very cunning as they refuse to attack him but instead, continuously send him on dangerous missions in a bid to get him killed during the battle between the two clans.”

“Of course, he can’t just sit back and do nothing so he must be planning to escape from the human race after a while and enter the demon territory. When the time comes, I will need your cooperation to help him break free from the pursuit of the human Void Refinement realm assassins. How does that sound? Are you willing to do it?”

After the Heavenly Diabolism Master said those words calmly, she stared at Chen Chen, as if she would attack him as soon as he refuted.

Sensing the resolute gaze of the Heavenly Diabolism Master, Chen Chen had no choice but to agree despite feeling extremely reluctant.

“Yes, of course, I’m willing. But, can you tell me exactly when it will be?”

“No, I will inform you when that time really comes.” The Heavenly Diabolism master refused outrightly. Clearly, she didn’t trust Chen Chen.

Seeing that the Heavenly Diabolism Master was about to turn around and leave, Chen Chen suddenly thought of Lao Hei and couldn’t help but ask, “Sect Master, is my pig okay?”

“What? That pig has something to do with you too?”

The Heavenly Diabolism Master suddenly turned around and stared at him with a blazing gaze.

Chen Chen scratched his head helplessly. “He’s a friend of mine too…”

He wasn’t trying to harm Lao Hei but rather, the Heavenly Diabolism master was way too dangerous. Despite knowing that she could remove the Adversity-Overcoming Seal on herself by killing him, she refused to do so and insisted on going against heaven.

A demon like her may just kill Lao Hei one day.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Diabolism master’s gaze became extremely dangerous, and he said in an incredibly cold tone, “Chen Chen, you have plenty of friends, huh!?”
