Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 678 You Be the Clan Chief

The peach orchards of Qingqiu are a beautiful sight for miles around.

A gentle breeze blows, and peach blossoms flutter down like pink snowflakes, drifting lightly onto the clear stream and floating with the current.

The babbling brook reflects the sky and clouds, and occasionally a few fish leap out of the water, splashing up sparkling droplets that refract a rainbow of colors in the sunlight.

On the banks of the stream, a group of barefoot girls waded in the shallow water, laughing and playing, their silvery laughter echoing through the woods.

What's most unique is that they all have one or two fluffy fox tails behind them. As the tails sway gently, they sometimes splash water onto their companions, eliciting coquettish replies from them.

Deep within the peach grove, the occasional chirping of birds can be heard, their clear and melodious voices blending with the sounds of the wind and water, creating a symphony of nature.

In stark contrast to the turmoil in the various immortal kingdoms, this place is like a paradise, free from strife and bloodshed, only eternal peace and beauty.

However, this tranquility was soon broken by a charming figure.

"Sister Chieftain!"

A soft, sweet, and clear voice rang out, and then a light and slender figure flew out from the depths of the peach grove.

In just a few short years, Tu Jiujiu's figure has begun to take shape, and she already appears to be quite shapely.

She wore a light pink gauze dress, the hem swaying gently with her steps, like a blooming peach blossom. Her fair skin glowed with a luminous sheen in the sunlight, and her bright, fox-like eyes sparkled with life, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, exuding an innate charm.

Her fox tail was even fluffier than it had been two years ago, its fur as white as snow, with a faint pink tinge at the tip. It swayed gently as she walked, making her look playful and charming.

Beneath a thousand-year-old peach tree, Tu Yaoyao sat cross-legged, her body shrouded in a mysterious aura. Peach blossoms drifted down, but automatically avoided her when they touched within three feet of her, as if drawn by an invisible force.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Tu Yaoyao slowly opened her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were as deep as a still pool, yet they also carried a hint of languid charm.

"Chieftain, I've emerged from seclusion!"

Tu Jiujiu jogged over, her face full of anticipation, a powerful Daoist aura subtly surging around her: "You promised me, can we go find Brother Qin Yu now?"

Upon hearing this name, Tu Yaoyao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the absurd experience involuntarily surfaced in her mind—the dignified patriarch of the Qingqiu Fox Clan was actually coerced by a human and forced to stay in his natal space...

Ironically, that experience benefited her immensely.

Her original strength, without using the clan's protective artifact, was barely enough to contend with a half-saint realm expert who controlled one of the human race's fundamental energies. But now, her cultivation has advanced further, and she is confident that she can suppress even a half-saint who controls two fundamental energies!
The biggest beneficiary was undoubtedly that special warm current, which continued to nourish her bloodline and improve her aptitude even after she left Qin Yu.

The Six-Tails was something she could never hope to achieve.

Once she condenses the six tails, she will possess the qualities of a Venerable One, and perhaps she will be able to truly step into that legendary realm!
If she had stayed in Qin Yu's natal space back then, perhaps she would already have six tails by now!
"Sister Chieftain, you're not going to try to renege on your promise again, are you?"

Seeing that the beautiful clan leader did not answer for a long time, Tu Jiujiu pouted and flicked her fox tail in dissatisfaction.

Tu Yaoyao snapped out of her daze and glared at her: "What's the rush? Now that the Great Dao is reviving, there are countless powerful human beings. With your strength, if you run out and encounter bad guys, you won't even be able to protect yourself."

"Jiu Jiu won't run around!"

Tu Jiujiu quickly retorted, a sly glint in her eyes: "I'm with Brother Qin Yu and Xiao Ling'er, I definitely won't run away."

Tu Yaoyao snorted lightly. How could she not know what this little fox was thinking?

Are you really that eager to give it away for free?

She narrowed her eyes slightly, a strange emotion rising in her heart.

Perhaps... I should go and meet that human.

Now, she has touched the existence of the shackles and can trigger a heavenly tribulation at any time, but without the six tails, she is always a little uneasy.

However, there are still things to do before that.

"Jiujiu, I have a question for you."

Tu Yaoyao gestured for the little fox to sit down, a charming smile unconsciously curving her lips.

"Sister, don't even think about tricking me into cultivating again!" Tu Jiujiu stood there, her cute cheeks puffed out.

The clan leader of the beautiful clan promised her last year, but then said that her cultivation level was not high enough and tricked her into undergoing arduous training for another year.

Cultivation has always been an extremely boring thing for Tu Jiujiu. In comparison, she prefers to play with the sisters in her clan.

However, in order to return to Qin Yu's side, she has been immersed in arduous cultivation for the past two years, all in order to achieve the goal set by the beauty clan leader.

However, after being fooled once, she wasn't so easily fooled anymore!

"In your heart, am I really so worthless?"

Tu Yaoyao looked sorrowful and seemed very aggrieved.

Seeing this, Tu Jiujiu's heart wavered a little. Thinking of how good the beauty clan leader had been to her, she felt even more guilty.

seem……

Aside from preventing her from seeing Brother Qin Yu, the beauty clan leader has always been very kind and never forces her to cultivate.

On second thought, wasn't her own hard work over the past two years also her own effort to see Brother Qin Yu?
"Sister, that's not what Jiu Jiu meant."

Tu Jiujiu slowly approached and rested her little head on the beautiful clan leader, feeling as comfortable as ever.

This time, the beautiful clan leader did not push her away, but instead gently stroked the girl's hair.

"Jiujiu, you should know what the Six-Tails means to our clan, right?"

Tu Yaoyao said softly.

Upon hearing this, Tu Jiujiu stiffened, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"hiss!"

Tu Yaoyao winced and slapped the girl's hand away, giving her a reproachful glare.

Could this little girl be doing this on purpose?

Even your brother Qin Yu wouldn't dare to use that much force!

However, considering her own purpose, she could only suppress her anger.

This little girl has grown up; we probably won't be able to be this close for a while.

"Jiujiu, I have thought about this for a long time. You are about to come of age, and it is time to hand over the position of clan leader to you."

Tu Yaoyao patiently said softly.

"boom!"

These words struck Tu Jiujiu's heart like a thunderbolt.

Become the clan leader?
Does that mean I have to stay here for the rest of my life to protect my people?
She wasn't trying to shirk responsibility, but if Brother Qin Yu didn't have time to come looking for her, wouldn't she never see him again?
"Sister, I don't want to be the clan leader. It's enough that you're here."

After realizing what was happening, Tu Jiujiu quickly replied.

"Ok?"

Tu Yaoyao was taken aback.

Well, so you're trying to shirk responsibility?
Absolutely not!

At the rate of nourishment from the warm current, it will probably take less than two years for her bloodline to improve and advance to the Six-Tails level.

Then, we won't be able to get rid of the blame!
