I have the best bloodline

My aunt looked depressed and sighed deeply.

"Uh"

Su Yan, looking embarrassed, manifested his fox form, hopped onto his aunt's lap, and said:

"Auntie, is it possible that for a very long time to come, I might need to stay at your Ruchun Garden?"

Chapter 462 The Three Clans of the Nine-Tailed Fox

"Auntie, do you think it's possible that my parents were all smiles and loving mothers when they first saw me, but were expressionless in the second week when I was at home, and then put me in a basket and released me into a fast-flowing river in the third week?"

Su Yan sat on her aunt's lap, her two little fox hands reaching out as if grasping something, mimicking rowing motions to present her aunt with a hypothetical possibility.

Su Yan didn't know much about the other demon race children, but he knew that his own family's situation was that the Golden Core stage children needed to learn to be independent!

Su Yan is almost at the Nascent Soul stage. If things go smoothly from here on out, then his Dragon Father and Fox Mother will naturally welcome him home to visit them. But if Su Yan says he wants to stay home, eat and drink for free, and just sit around doing nothing and wait to die...

Su Yan felt that the fox mother might actually be imitating Tang Sanzang's mother and releasing him into the river.

"The big fox probably wouldn't, would he?" Auntie's face showed a hesitant expression.

My aunt and my fox mother were both born in half-beast form and already possessed a certain level of cultivation at birth. They were the kind of mischievous children who could run all over the mountains and forests from birth. They would frolic in the forests for a long time, and when they got tired of playing, they would go to the Academy of Ten Thousand Demon City to learn about the general knowledge of the cultivation world and run all over the world.

Hmm. Su Yan's idea seems to really fit the style of the big fox?

Thinking of this, the aunt fell silent, only coughing lightly twice before saying, "It's alright. If my little nephew really has nowhere to stay, he can come to my place. As the saying goes, no one is as close to their parents as their aunt! An extra pair of chopsticks and a bed is nothing to worry about!"

"Huh? You got drunk from the sugar water? That's not what you said when you ran away from home." Auntie glanced at Auntie and said, "Back then, when you were asked to take care of Chongchong, you slammed the door and left."

Can the two situations be compared?

The younger aunt glanced at the older aunt and said with a look of disgust, "Taking care of one or two is fine, I can send an avatar to take care of them, but a dozen or so soft and sticky insect eggs require my careful care. After they hatch, they will spit everywhere and I will have to take care of them for half a year!"

One insect egg, one tiny insect. The Pride Insect Clan is an anomaly among the alien beasts. Because of their innate ability to reverse aging, they never worry about the possibility of a decline in their birth rate. Every hundred years or so, the family members can experience a major increase in numbers.

Newly hatched crickets, which have not yet grown their burrs, need to be cared for by their elders for about six months.

Although their stinging hairs haven't grown out yet, those little creatures already possess the ability to spit venom, often causing terrifying destruction; dissolving houses and streets is an easy task for them.

My aunt's savings were mostly melted down by those unlucky kids.

Compared to those unlucky little guys, Su Yan is a veritable money-making fox.

........................

While Su Yan was still smiling and drinking sweet soup, in the Qingqiu Kingdom of the Eastern State...

There is the residence of the Su family's nine-tailed fox.

Two handsome young men with similar appearances had tense faces and exuded an unfriendly aura. A hint of anger could be seen between their brows, but their eyes revealed a sense of helplessness.

The patriarch and the eldest elder of the Qingqiu clan are twins, an extremely rare breed among viviparous divine beasts.

The patriarchs of the Qingqiu, Tushan, and Yousu clans all gathered in the Yousu territory.

"You don't need to be so angry. The betrothal gifts offered by the Dragon Clan are truly precious, especially now that the Heavenly Gates are open."

A woman holding a child in her arms smiled and looked at the two heroes of Qingqiu, offering her advice:

"We shouldn't refuse; nothing is more important than the interests of the community as a whole, is it?"

The two heroes of Qingqiu looked conflicted. The Qingqiu clan is the oldest and has the best bloodline among the nine-tailed foxes. The Qingqiu clan rejects any marriage alliances and bloodline contamination, and has always maintained the oldest tradition of the nine-tailed fox clan.

However, when Emperor Wusheng arrived, he also sent the list of gifts from the Four Dragon Kings to the Kingdom of Qingqiu.

Let's not even talk about material things; although the nine-tailed fox lives a simple life, it is not without a material foundation.

What truly caught the eye of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and even the two heroes of Qingqiu, was something else entirely.

The Four Dragon Kings provided the map and promised the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to help awaken the Nine-Tailed Fox Sword Servant.

That is, the ancestor who followed the Queen Mother of the West and reigned supreme in the Western Paradise: the Nine-Tailed Fox God.

The ancestor of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan did not enter the cosmos to slumber like the Queen Mother of the West. Instead, he endured the emptiness of his immortal power and used his physical strength to quell the evil forces in all directions, creating a blessed land called Qingqiu Kingdom for his clan and his followers.

Subsequently, the Nine-Tailed Fox Ancestor, who had slaughtered all his enemies, disappeared completely, and the Nine-Tailed Foxes could not find any trace of him despite their years of searching.

However, the Dragon King of the Four Seas—no, to be precise, the Dragon King of the North Sea—knew the location of the Sword Servant and the Queen Mother of the West's slumber. Therefore, he used information about their existence as a betrothal gift to negotiate a marriage alliance with the Kingdom of Qingqiu, hoping that the Nine-Tailed Fox would agree.

This is a blatant threat from the Dragon Kings!

Upon first hearing the news, the two heroes of Qingqiu were so enraged that they broke down in anger and started cursing on the spot.

"What's the use of getting angry? They're clearly using our bells to negotiate," said the Su Clan Ancestor with a sneer. "I already told you before that it's impossible for our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to search the entire cultivation world with our strength."

"You spent some spirit stones and secretly offered a bounty, and what did you say? That the Nine-Tailed Fox didn't need help?"

"And now? The bells are all caught! And you're only just starting to panic? You stubborn fools should really go and try your luck with the Immortal of Longevity, see if the Jianmu tree is harder than your heads!"

The reason why the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan split up was not only because it was once corrupted by the Nightmare Suppression Technique, but the deeper reason actually stemmed from the differences in their ideologies.

The Qingqiu clan was extremely conservative and unwilling to change. They only wanted to stay in the Qingqiu Kingdom and wait for the return of the Queen Mother of the West. They wanted to maintain the original appearance of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and return to the Western Heaven once the Queen Mother awoke.

The Tushan clan believed that they should make friends with the world, as closing themselves off would not be conducive to the development of the clan. In fact, insufficient communication could lead to a series of misunderstandings and ultimately repeat the ancient chaos of war among all races.

Among the three clans of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Su clan is the most open and daring. They advocate that the clan actively participate in the conflicts of the world to build its own power, rather than being complacent or relying on the masses.

They are staunch supporters of the theory that the strong live forever.

It was precisely because of this audacious decision that the foxes, both large and small, in the Su family's household often disappeared without a trace.

As a result, the birth rate plummeted, leading the ancestor of the You Su clan to frequently travel the world catching their own foxes to urge them to get married.

The three clans of the Nine-Tailed Fox generally do not interact with each other.

However, when faced with important issues, the high-ranking members of the three clans still maintained communication. Otherwise, when Emperor Wusheng attacked Qingqiu Mountain, the other clans, Yousu and Tushan, would not have been so anxious to mediate.

"Ancestors, I'm all dressed up. Shall we set off now?"

Just as the atmosphere in the main hall became slightly tense after the Su family patriarch had started cursing, Fox Mother, who was touching up her makeup with powder while holding a small round mirror, walked out from the back hall in a good mood and asked everyone.

"Just thinking about seeing the little fox makes me so happy!" the fox mother said with a beaming smile.

"Tsk, what a scaly, clawed thing." The two heroes of Qingqiu clicked their tongues in disgust.

"Actually, that kid's hair is quite white," the Su family patriarch corrected.

"The Su family never makes a fool of themselves; at most, they might be a little too flamboyant."

Faced with the Qingqiu clan's slander of being expressionless, Old Ancestor Su immediately retorted to the two of them.

Yours is the one with scales and claws, but the ones from our family, even the mixed-race ones, are all exceptionally handsome in the cultivation world.

Chapter 463 Auntie Who Looks Up at the Sky

The temperature in Xia Yucheng was slightly cool in the early morning.

Su Yan got up from her bed, opened her fox-like mouth with a contented expression, yawned, and began to wash up naturally before turning to go outside.

However, when Su Yan went outside, she suddenly felt something was wrong. The atmosphere inside seemed a bit tense. The talented girls, who should have been back in their dormitories sleeping soundly, were gathered in twos and threes on the first floor, cleaning with unnatural expressions.

Meanwhile, Jiao Nanwu and her aunt squatted on the threshold of the gate as if facing a formidable enemy, glancing at the fourth floor of Ruchun Garden from time to time, with expressions like mice seeing a cat.

Su Yan walked to the railing with a strange expression. His fox head squeezed out from the gap in the railing and looked up at the area where his aunt usually lived. He could see an unfamiliar female cultivator sitting at the tea table on the fourth floor.

The unfamiliar female cultivator had no makeup on her face, and her long black hair was interspersed with two strands of red highlights. She wore a black robe with a red half-shoulder robe from the Demon Suppression Division. Just sitting in front of the tea table, she exuded an invisible sense of intimidation.

As if sensing Su Yan's gaze, the unfamiliar female cultivator on the fourth floor turned to look at Su Yan. When her pair of crimson vertical pupils looked at Su Yan, a burning sensation emanated from her eyes and reached Su Yan's heart, making Su Yan feel as if he were being roasted on a hot coal.

Su Yan retreated repeatedly, pulling her head back into the third-floor corridor, her face filled with fear.

The aunt upstairs is a bit fierce. Just by making eye contact with her, without any other magical factors, she can make you feel like you're being burned by flames.

This was a feeling that Su Yan had never experienced with Aunt Three-Legged Golden Crow Emperor Chi.

However, when Su Yan withdrew his head, he did not notice that the female cultivator's originally burning gaze gradually softened when she saw Su Yan's figure.

"Little fox, come here."

When Su Yan came out of the dormitory, her aunt called her upstairs and said, "Come and see if you still recognize the old cat that used to take care of you when you were little."

"?"

The words her aunt said left Su Yan with a question mark in her head.

"Is she Aunt Wangtianhou?"

Suddenly, Su Yan recalled the childhood stories that Aunt Di Chi had told him when they were in the Moon Rabbit tribe's territory.

It took her thirteen years to grow from an egg to a baby, and her fox mother and dragon father would often travel far away, so she had asked her sisters to take care of her for a long time.

While inside the fox-patterned egg, Su Yan not only traveled the vast and beautiful world of cultivation, but also witnessed the flashing swords and bloody storms passing by him.

Therefore, after being reminded by her aunt, Su Yan tentatively used a form of address.

"Ah."

Wang Tianhou nodded slightly and said, "Time flies like yesterday's flowers; you've grown up to the point where you can live on your own now."

"I can still remember the way you rolled around in that chair."

For earth immortals, lifespan has become so long that it has lost its meaning of calculation. Many things and creatures in their lives seem to be frozen in time, just as they were a hundred years ago.

Therefore, upon seeing Su Yan, Wang Tianhou couldn't help but utter a sigh.

Yesterday, Su Yan seemed to still be Fox-Patterned Egg, interrogating traitors in Xia Yu's prison with his own sword drawn. Fox-Patterned Egg stood upright on the long table where torture instruments were placed, making a series of "creaking" sounds like a roly-poly toy, torturing the prisoners' minds.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yan not only hatched from the eggshell, but also cultivated to a level close to the Nascent Soul stage. Time really flies.

However, it seemed as if I felt nothing at all.

"Looking up at the sky, Auntie, Little Auntie."

After recognizing the female cultivator, Su Yan's slight restraint vanished, and she strolled up to the fourth floor to sit down next to the two aunties and greet them.

In Su Yan's mind, her mother's Daoist partners were all incredibly kind people. Whether it was her aunt or Aunt Chi, they were both very good to her and truly treated her like one of their own.

Therefore, when Su Yan saw Aunt Wangtianhou, who looked fierce, he was not afraid at all, and even felt a sense of security coming towards him.

After Su Yan sat down, Wang Tianhou reached into her gold and silver embroidered red robe as if to take something out. Su Yan looked at Aunt Wang Tianhou with anticipation.
