117: Jiuer, come to my room at night
“Li Dage, thank you for saving the Queen!”
“You are the great benefactor of our entire Fox Clan. From now on, whenever you need the Fox Clan, just say the word.”
With that, he even bowed deeply to Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan calmly accepted the Fox King’s gratitude; he was worthy of this bow.
However, Li Daoxuan mentally exclaimed, “Goodness gracious!” He had just been upgraded from Fellow Daoist to brother. If the Fox King knew what he was thinking, he wondered what the Fox King would feel.
He wanted to be his son-in-law, but the Fox King was calling him brother.
It felt strange!
At this moment, the Queen also walked over, her expression composed, as if nothing had happened earlier.
“Li… brother, thank you for your great kindness.” The Queen also bowed to show her gratitude.
Li Daoxuan wanted to stop her, but his hand froze in mid-air. He quickly turned his head away and said, “Queen, there’s no need for such courtesy. Nine and I are friends. I only helped because of her Face.”
The Little White Fox, nestled in her mother’s arms, proudly poked her head out, her big eyes revealing unconcealed joy.
Li Daoxuan’s words greatly pleased her.
Li Daoxuan did not mention thanks again. If they truly wanted to thank him, something practical would be more reliable.
However, the Fox Clan was currently in a miserable state.
Most of their possessions were either consumed or lost in this battle.
Only when the Queen stood upright did Li Daoxuan dare to look at her. It was then that Li Daoxuan noticed the Queen’s smooth, long pink hair.
Cough, cough! Earlier, his first glance was drawn to her mountainous peaks and surging waves, and he hadn't noticed her hair.
Li Daoxuan looked at the peculiar long hair a few times, always feeling that this hair was not simple.
However, Li Daoxuan did not press the matter.
The Queen also noticed Li Daoxuan’s actions and gave him another glare. Then her small Face flushed, and she dared not look at Li Daoxuan again.
Li Daoxuan changed the subject and said, “Fox King, what are your plans next?”
Qingqiu Fox Country was temporarily out of reach. Li Daoxuan did not know what the Fox King intended to do next.
The Fox King was quite calm and said with a smile, “Don’t you humans have a saying, ‘a cunning rabbit has three burrows’?”
“But even the most cunning rabbit will eventually become food for our Fox Clan.”
Li Daoxuan: “......”
The Little White Fox might have felt bored in her mother’s arms, so she directly broke free and jumped onto Li Daoxuan’s shoulder.
The Little White Fox explained, “Li Dage, you may not know this.”
“Our Fox Clan still has several secret hiding places. We can go there; I’ll lead the way.”
Fox King, Queen, all Elders: “......”
The reason they were called secret hiding places was for secrecy. Is it really okay to just bring an outsider there?
However, none of the foxes stopped her.
Under the Little White Fox’s guidance, the Flying Ship Warship arrived near a forest. Li Daoxuan exclaimed,
“This is the border between the territories of the Soaring Moon Sky Wolf and Wind-Riding Violet Lightning Hawk clans?”
The Little White Fox raised her head and said, “Li Dage, didn’t you say the more dangerous the place, the safer it is? Our Fox Clan also understands this principle.”
“So, you built your secret hiding place here?”
“Yes, yes!”
The Chaotic Plains mainly had three types of terrain:
Firstly, the hilly areas, mainly occupied by the Fox Clan, where Qingqiu Fox Country was established.
Secondly, the plains, most of which were the territory of the Wolf Clan.
Thirdly, the vast forest, which was the dwelling place of the Eagle Clan, and the sky was also their Domain.
The Little White Fox pointed to an unremarkable spot and said, “Li Dage, the entrance is right there.”
Li Daoxuan’s Divine Sense swept across it the first time, yet he found nothing. Then he carefully probed every inch of the land and finally discovered a cave entrance.
Moreover, this entrance was concealed by a sophisticated hidden Formation.
This was only because his Divine Sense was powerful and he was a Formation Master; otherwise, he might not have discovered it.
Li Daoxuan manipulated the Flying Ship Warship, rapidly shrinking it until it was palm-sized, then flew towards the entrance. Li Daoxuan’s hands did not stop, occasionally throwing out a few Formation Plates.
Soon, the Flying Ship passed directly through the Formation and plunged into darkness.
Li Daoxuan was not flustered at all. After a moment, he finally saw light.
At this moment, the Flying Ship was in a Small World filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
The Little White Fox was very happy, but the other members of the Fox Clan looked at Li Daoxuan with fearful eyes.
What did they see?
The Fox King had secretly instructed his son-in-law not to tell Li Daoxuan the exact location of the entrance, only to give him a general direction, wanting to test Li Daoxuan.
However, Li Daoxuan accurately found the entrance and easily bypassed the layers of Formations they had set up.
This… this couldn’t help but make them fearful!
Even Mahayana Stage Cultivators from the Wolf Clan and Eagle Clan passing by this place had not discovered this entrance.
How did Li Daoxuan discover it? And how did he get in so easily?
Just by looking at the expressions of the clan members in this Small World, it was clear that they only detected intruders after the Flying Ship had already entered.
“Quick! Quickly gather the clan members, there are enemies invading!”
The Flying Ship entered without any concealment, in such a grand manner.
The Fox King only came to his senses when he heard the terrified screams of his clan members. He quickly stepped forward and said, “Fox Clan members, there’s no need to panic, they are our own people.”
“Ah! The King has returned!”
“The King has returned!”
Li Daoxuan then understood. No wonder he had only rescued some Elders and the Fox King; it turned out that the Fox Clan had hidden a group of young and talented clan members.
These clan members were either the Fox Clan’s long-hidden strength or they had escaped and were settled here.
Next, the Fox King arranged a resting place for Li Daoxuan and also said that Li Daoxuan should stay for a few more days.
This was exactly what Li Daoxuan wanted, and he readily agreed.
After the Fox King left, the Queen gave Li Daoxuan a glare and then also left.
However, that look left Li Daoxuan a bit baffled.
“Nine, come with your mother. I have something to ask you.”
The Little White Fox reluctantly jumped off Li Daoxuan’s shoulder, looking back three times with each step, which was incredibly adorable.
Li Daoxuan suddenly thought of something and said, “Nine, come to my room tonight.”
Nine was startled, then quickly ran away.
Li Daoxuan rubbed his nose and thought, “Am I that scary?”
Upon returning to his residence, Li Daoxuan was not tired at all; he was rather looking forward to the night.
Especially when he thought of the Queen’s appearance, he inexplicably felt a bit of anticipation.
