"Huh? Wow—"

The grandson of the Tushan Patriarch looked completely bewildered, but seeing Princess Wuxi speaking with such imposing manner, he still cooperated by letting out a "Wow" to express his surprise.

The Tu Shan clan patriarch, with a cunning and suspicious look on his face, scrutinized Su Yan from head to toe. Su Yan had a stable lower body, a healthy complexion, and showed no signs of weakness or yin energy. He certainly didn't seem like someone who had indulged in excessive sexual activity.

However, out of caution, the Tu Shan clan patriarch still asked, "Hmm, did your father teach you any secret dragon clan medicines for nourishing the body and replenishing blood?"

Su Yan: "."

I don't have the secret medicine, but I do have the Three Lights Divine Water, but my cultivation level isn't high enough to produce it yet, so I can't show it to you.

"Hahaha hiccup."

Chapter 469 Ao Renlin Reappears

"We don't have any problem with you, it's just that the Qingqiu clan is rather stubborn and has always abhorred the idea of ​​nine-tailed foxes mixing with other races."

The Tu Shan clan patriarch spoke softly, "Moreover, the dragon race has a notorious reputation in the cultivation world. Even the bellies of mountain spirits and stone monsters can produce dragon blood and mix it into our Nine-Tailed Fox clan. This shows how much spiritual pollution and persecution it has caused to the Qingqiu clan."

The Qingqiu clan advocates for maintaining the status quo, primarily because of the existence of the Queen Mother of the West. They believe that once the Queen Mother of the West returns, the nine-tailed foxes of Qingqiu will once again submit to her command. After a period of rest, they will once again draw their swords and declare war on the beings in the Western Heaven, following the Queen Mother of the West to reclaim their former lands.

The three clans of the Nine-Tailed Fox have different views. The Tushan clan and the Yousu clan occasionally criticize Qingqiu for being rigid, but they do not interfere too much or try to persuade Qingqiu. Their bloodline is the origin of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, and they were one of the divine beast clans that the Queen Mother of the West favored and relied on.

With the Queen Mother of the West as the leader, the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Golden Crow, and the Jade Rabbit form a tripartite balance of power, creating a high-level ruling group in the Western Paradise, which jointly governs the people of the Western Paradise.

The Qingqiu clan's propositions are neither right nor wrong, and the other nine-tailed fox clans cannot accuse them of being pedantic. If the propositions of the other nine-tailed fox clans fail, then the Qingqiu clan, which has always adhered to the established rules, will be the last resort for the nine-tailed fox clan.

Therefore, when it comes to matters that do not violate principles or bottom lines of interest, if anything needs to be discussed in the Kingdom of Qingqiu, the Tushan Clan and the Yousu Clan generally respect the opinions of the Qingqiu Clan.

They have always adhered to the rules and suppressed their true nature, aspiring to become beings like the nine-tailed fox deities.

Su Yan's existence was not unique to the Su Clan Ancestor and the Tu Shan Clan Ancestor. They were only surprised that Ao Renlin was able to successfully woo Su Qing and give birth to the first nine-tailed Yazi in recorded history.

The reason why the Su family came up with the idea of ​​cutting off the root to cure the disease was not because they really meant to uproot Su Yan. Rather, they intended to sever the reproductive meridians in Su Yan's body. It seemed like they had cut off the root to cure Su Yan, but Su Yan could still recover once he reached the Earth Immortal realm.

When a cultivator reaches the Earth Immortal realm, they will undergo a stage called Mortal Transformation, with a lifespan starting at ten thousand years. They will possess unimaginable and awe-inspiring divine power, but due to Mortal Transformation, their fertility will drop to a minimum, comparable to that of naturally born divine beasts.

When a divine beast reaches the realm of Earth Immortal, its fertility is not entirely absent, but it is almost as if it is not. Otherwise, the Fairy Healer would not have been so sought after and treated as an honored guest by the demon race because of her method of curing infertility.

“Your ancestors didn’t like to speak too plainly, always using words like bells and bell-ringing, so I stepped in to be the explainer.”

The Tu Shan Clan Patriarch sat beside Su Yan and Princess Wuxi and slowly began to explain some things about the Qingqiu Kingdom to the two little foxes who had never been there before. He also explained to Su Yan why the Su Clan elders had come to their door with scissors:

"The main goal of the Su family is to reduce your fertility. You will still have the power you need and you can still enjoy yourself. It's just that you won't be able to have children for the time being. Anyway, with the resources of the Nine-Tailed Fox, it won't be a problem to get you to the Earth Immortal realm."

"In this way, you suffer no actual loss, and the You Su clan can appease the Qingqiu clan. However, the You Su clan members probably didn't expect that you would be so precocious as to know the meaning of the large scissors."

The words of the Tu Shan clan patriarch were a bit convoluted, but in Su Yan's understanding, they were:

When the elders of the Su clan learned of Su Yan's existence, they worried that the Qingqiu clan would feel wronged. Therefore, they planned to secretly perform a bell ringing technique on Su Yan to appease the Qingqiu clan, who lived like ascetics.

As for subjective emotions such as whether it will cast a shadow over Su Yan's childhood?

The elders didn't care. Born into the cultivation world, especially into a large demon family, every being faces countless choices and compromises after birth. Facing death is commonplace. If Su Yan is so delicate, keeping him around won't necessarily lead to anything.

However, Su Yan was really too precocious. When the little nine-tailed foxes were in their teens, they were already exploring the unfamiliar world outside their swaddling clothes, and some were still snuggling in their mothers' arms, clinging to the feeder and acting cute.

The elders thought Su Yan knew nothing and wanted to take advantage of his young age to remove the rubber band from his bell.

However, Su Yan actually knows everything, of course, what I mean by knowing is his knowledge of physiology.

Seeing the clan elder pry open his fox leg and take out scissors, Su Yan naturally fought back fiercely, splashing a stream of scalding hot boy's urine on the face of the Su clan elder. The fox mother, who was distracted by the other clan elders, also learned what was happening in the room and started fighting with the clan elders. She called on the Lord of the Yu family and the nine-tailed fox to start a big melee.

If Su Yan were to return home now, he would be astonished to find that his hometown had become a lake.

………………

"They thought you were young and didn't remember things, so they were prepared to act quickly and roughly."

The Tushan Clan Ancestor gestured forward, indicating that Su Yan should look at his grandson. The Tushan Clan's little fox was happily digging for earthworms on the grass, sometimes hunting in human form, sometimes manifesting as a fox, opening its little white mouth to bite dragonflies.

"Hmm, this little guy is two years younger than you, and his cognitive abilities are the same as those of a four- or five-year-old human child. This is the normal growth process for us nine-tailed foxes, while you and the princess are both outliers among outliers."

"Aren't you bullying a child?" Su Yan retorted, his face darkening.

"That's always been the way of the cultivation world," the Tu Shan clan patriarch said, shaking his head slightly. "Reasoning is the power of the strong, while the weak and the defeated can only crawl in the mud. We nine-tailed foxes are actually considered quite refined."

“Especially those born into a clan, while enjoying the resources, naturally understand the costs to come.”

As he spoke, the Tushan Clan Ancestor turned around and looked at a corner of the void as if asking something.

"The old ancestor of Tushan is right."

A chilling aura emanated from the spatial gap. Ao Renlin, dressed in a black robe, emerged from the gap, his not particularly imposing figure looking at the Tushan Clan Ancestor and chuckling as he spoke:

"When individuals enjoy the benefits of their community, they naturally need to give back to the community. Otherwise, if everyone does this, wouldn't the order within the community be completely chaotic?"

"But our little fox is different from other nine-tailed foxes."

“His father. I am capable. I have already repaid all my obligations in advance. He only needs to enjoy the benefits provided by the Dragon Clan and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.”

Ao Renlin stepped out of the void, his face indifferent as he slowly spoke, uttering nonchalant words.

But he wasn't wrong; Ao Renlin had already provided the Dragon Clan and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan with what they needed.

The dragon race gained knowledge of the forbidden arts, and the nine-tailed fox clan also found the divine ancestor and information about the place where the Queen Mother of the West slumbered.

Ao Renlin and Su Qing do not need any future benefits from the two clans. Naturally, all the contributions he makes should be attributed to his offspring, Su Yan.

I need to take leave and rest tomorrow.

I spent all night creating the character relationship diagram, so there might be some errors. Please check it if you find them.

I'd like to recommend a new book by a friend in my writer group.

Recommendation: A thirty-year-old soul in an eighteen-year-old body, transported to Tokyo. The protagonist initially thought he'd struck gold, until he obtained what appeared to be the original owner's diary and heard a strange narration...

[Tsk tsk, a stunningly beautiful woman, a cool and aloof mature woman, a withdrawn top student, an adorable little girl, an intellectual older sister, a melancholic female writer—who will become the target of the diary's author? Or is she a hunter lurking in the shadows, waiting to trap the lost lambs?]

This book is also known as "Me and My Female Neighbors".

[Tokyo] + [Romance] + [Suspense] + [Narration] + [Twist]

Chapter 470 There is love, but only a little bit.

"Although what Patriarch Tushan said makes sense, Su Yan is different from the other little nine-tailed foxes. He is a meritorious person to both the Dragon Clan and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and he has already repaid the responsibilities and obligations he needed to bear in advance."

Father Long slowly emerged from the spatial gap, glanced at Su Yan and Princess Wuxi, and then looked at Patriarch Tushan with a slight smile, saying, "Is this junior reasonable?"

The old ancestor of Tushan is right. As a nine-tailed fox, Su Yan will naturally have to assume corresponding obligations and maintain the clan after recognizing his ancestors.

However, there's a premise here: while it might have made sense in the past, it's flawed now. Su Yan is no longer a little fox who has made no contributions or mistakes. Regardless of which side Su Yan chooses to join, he will be considered a descendant of a meritorious family in either the Dragon Clan or the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, for all the contributions his father has made.

His treatment is naturally different from that of ordinary little foxes. Stop with the talk of responsibility and obligation; my son is returning to his ancestral home to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Otherwise, why would Su Qing and I have searched so diligently, traversing mountains and seas?

If Su Yan has any debts, they can only be the debts of gratitude owed to Princess Wuxi and Third Master Xia.

"What you say makes sense. But reason, in essence, is the explanation of the laws governing things."

The Tushan Ancestor said with a smile, "The brutal methods of the You Su Clan are bound to cause controversy. If you hadn't told Su Yan the significance behind the matter, your little fox might have harbored a lot of resentment and grudge. I can already picture him chasing after the old man of the You Su Clan and biting his butt."

The Tu Shan Clan Ancestor came here to explain, just as he had said in his previous self-introduction, not to offer any advice. He simply came to explain to Su Yan why the Su Clan was targeting his little bell.

"Father!?"

Su Yan looked at Long Baba with a surprised expression, stepped out of the spatial gap, and said, "Why have you come here?"

"Everything has been resolved, and I had nothing else to do, so I came to see your mother ahead of time," Long's father answered Su Yan's question in a slightly straightforward manner.

The Dragon Father had already prepared the necessary betrothal gifts, while the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were still preparing for their journey, which would take about one or two days to reach Xia Yu. Therefore, the Dragon Father set off alone to wait for the Fox Mother in Xia Yu and also to see how his son was doing.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving in Xia Yu, they found the Tu Shan clan patriarch deceiving the little fox. Of course, the dragon father was unaware of the background, so he deliberately spoke in a sarcastic tone, retorting to the Tu Shan clan patriarch.

However, the Tushan Ancestor was not angry. He slowly spoke up and told Dragon Father about the past events, thus resolving the conflict.

"Su Yan's father!?"

Princess Wuxi merely glanced at Dragon Father, while the female officials and maids standing behind her, upon seeing Dragon Father emerge unhurriedly from the spatial gap, experienced a tremor in their eyes.

The biological father who emerged from the spatial gap!?

I've gone to see your mother.

Ao Renlin nodded to the Tushan Patriarch and then walked directly to the side courtyard where the fox mother was.

"Your father loves you, but it doesn't seem like he loves you too much."

Princess Wuxi glanced at Su Yan, then at her father's back, and couldn't help but complain.

"At least... there's love, isn't there?" Su Yan muttered to herself.

………………

After chatting briefly with the Tu Shan Clan Ancestor in front of the courtyard gate, Su Yan, who had witnessed the pinnacle of the cultivation world's looks and the top-tier members of the group, didn't idly wander into the ceremonial courtyard. The atmosphere inside was particularly strange due to the influence of the Qingqiu Twin Heroes.

After bidding farewell to the Tushan Clan Ancestor, Su Yan led Princess Wuxi to the side courtyard to find Fox Mother and Dragon Father.

"What are you doing here? Go away, this is a gathering for us sisters, don't come here!"

As Su Yan approached the courtyard, she saw her aunt with a face full of curses, pushing Long's father out and locking the vermilion gate behind her.

Father Long's expression was slightly subtle. He looked at the tightly closed vermilion gate in front of him, then at Su Yan and Princess Wuxi who were walking towards the other courtyard. He slowly said, "They are catching up inside. No one other than Su Qing's female Daoist partner is allowed to enter at this time."

"what?"

Su Yan stood there dumbfounded. He rarely saw his mother, and they hadn't even exchanged a few words. Now his mother was turning her back on visitors?

"Let's go outside and sit for a while!"

Father Long gently shook his head, looked at Su Yan and Princess Wuxi and said, "Perfect timing, I also have something to discuss with Grand Tutor Jin, let's go to his house."

"To be honest, our previous two meetings were due to various unexpected coincidences, and we didn't even get to exchange more than a few words."

Dragon Father seemed very familiar with the palace, and he could lead the way for Su Yan and Princess Wuxi to Grand Tutor Jin's house without Princess Wuxi needing to lead the way.

"The matter between me and your mother is basically settled now. Once the Dragon Kings present the betrothal gifts and discuss the wedding date with the Nine-Tailed Fox, it will be done."
