The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot

Although he was from the Fox Clan, upon hearing how Zhi Yi had been treated by them in the past, he instantly understood her. If he were in Zhi Yi's position, not seeking revenge against the Fox Clan would be considered merciful. However, he never expected that Zhi Yi would... actually help the Fox Clan.

This wasn't because Zhi Yi had a savior complex, but because she clearly understood that her identity made it impossible for her to truly integrate into the Wolf Tribe. The other wolves had never accepted her from the beginning.

If one day Ling Jue were to die, Zhi Yi believed that her fate would certainly not be good. She feared... there would only be death awaiting her.

Her current actions could also be seen as leaving herself an escape route.

As for whether Zhi Yi truly loved Ling Jue or not...

The answer was simple.

She did love him.

But this love wasn't abundant.

In this world, the only person she would risk her life to protect was — Zhi Yao.

Her most beloved daughter.

When Zhi Yao met Zhi Yi's gaze, she felt genuinely anxious.

Because at that moment, Zhi Yao also encountered Ling Jue's gaze, which was, undeniably... terrifying.

The little girl trembled, keeping her head down, not daring to look at any of them.

Ling Jue could hardly believe it, "You want to leave me?! Zhi Yi! Have you ever truly loved me?"

Zhi Yi maintained a solemn expression, not speaking.

If Zhi Yao wasn't here, Ling Jue truly wanted to kill everyone present, then kidnap Zhi Yi and lock her away!

Every time... every time she showed this expression, Ling Jue felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

The conflict between the Fox Clan and the Wolf Tribe had never ceased. Zhi Yao glanced up at Zhi Yi, seeing her mother's determined expression. Fearing that Ling Jue and Zhi Yi might start a fight here, she quickly said to Zhi Yi, "Mother, the Fox Clan abandoned us long ago. You don't need to pity them."

Zhi Yao was nearly dying of anxiety.

She could understand her father's feelings. At a time like this, all her mother needed to do was act coy and yield a little. But Zhi Yi was just as stubborn.

After much thought, Zhi Yao had no choice but to say, "Father, if you're still so angry, why don't you just kill Xie Qinzhou? After all, he's the one who kidnapped Mother and brought her here! I believe that if you want to kill him, Mother won't object."

Zhi Yi glanced at Zhi Yao, frowning slightly, but didn't speak.

Xie Qinzhou could no longer bear it. With a "wa" sound, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to his knees.

His condition was terrible. After all, his meager power was practically insignificant in front of Ling Jue.

Zhi Yi took a deep breath and said, "Ling Jue, I'm not your possession. You've kept me captive by your side for so many years... Have you ever considered my feelings? I get homesick too. What right do you have to keep me in the Wolf Tribe forever? Do you know that if you were to die one day, the Wolf Tribe would tear me to pieces immediately!"

She had never been accepted by the Wolf Tribe... never.

Just as the Fox Clan would never forgive the Wolf Tribe.

The conflict between these two groups would never end, even in death.

She and Ling Jue were an unsolvable problem.

"Who would dare!" Ling Jue said coldly, "I won't die. Even if it's for you, for Yao Yao, I will continue to live."

Moreover, now that Zhi Yao had Pei Chiyao to protect her, he alone, along with Ling Si and the others, could surely protect Zhi Yi very well.

Zhi Yi shook her head wearily, "Do you know how scared I am every time you come back covered in wounds?"

She wasn't afraid of what the Wolf Tribe might do to her after his death; she was truly afraid that Ling Jue would die.

Ling Jue frowned. He had always hidden his injuries well, so how did Zhi Yi know he was hurt?

But now wasn't the time to discuss this. Seeing Zhi Yi's hurt and troubled expression, Ling Jue suddenly softened. This time, he was willing to compromise for Zhi Yi's sake.

"Yi'er, come back with me. For today, I'll spare these foxes, especially..."

He raised his eyes towards Xie Qinzhou.

When Xie Qinzhou met Ling Jue's gaze, he suddenly felt the pressure on him ease considerably.

Zhi Yi was also slightly shocked, clearly surprised.

In the past, Ling Jue would never compromise on such matters. Who would have thought that today...

It's worth noting that she had quarreled with Ling Jue countless times over such issues, but today...

Zhi Yao, however, saw through the difference immediately.

Her mother had inadvertently shown concern for her father just now. Perhaps that was the reason.

Ling Jue might appear strict and uncompromising on the surface, but in essence... he was still a wolf starved for affection.

Zhi Yao couldn't help but smile. It seemed she needed to have a good talk with her mother.

With this in mind, she looked up at Xie Qinzhou and said, "Xie Qinzhou, the last time Pei Chiyao and I softened our hearts and spared you, you kidnapped my mother. What do you plan to do next time?"

Truthfully, Zhi Yao didn't really want to spare Xie Qinzhou again. She didn't know what kind of trouble he might cause next time. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Xie Qinzhou, actually, the foxes live quite well here. At least, with me around, I can guarantee they won't be harmed. But your mischief easily provokes the Wolf Tribe, and today is the best lesson. If it weren't for my mother protecting these little ones just now, they might have already died."

Thinking of this, Zhi Yao pondered for a moment, "I think, sometimes, rather than needing a clan leader to guide the foxes' survival, it might be better..."

Better to let the foxes survive on their own.

"Everyone has their own choices. Why sacrifice yourself for the sake of the clan? My mother is the best example."

Xie Qinzhou narrowed his eyes, carefully considering Zhi Yao's words.

Zhi Yao looked up at Ling Jue, whispering something in his ear.

After doing so much, how could they not teach Xie Qinzhou a lesson?

Hearing this, Ling Jue raised an eyebrow, thinking that Zhi Yao's idea seemed quite good.

He suddenly raised his hand, and before anyone could react, he abruptly stripped away Xie Qinzhou's spiritual power. A flash of white light appeared, and Xie Qinzhou suddenly reverted to his original form.

His golden eyes were filled with confusion, as if he had no idea what had just happened.

This time, he transformed into a genuine fox.

Zhi Yao stepped forward, intending to scoop up Xie Qinzhou in one swift motion. However, before she could even take a single step, Pei Chiyao intercepted her. "Let me," he said.

Zhi Yao looked up, her eyes bright with joy as she addressed Pei Chiyao: "You're finally acknowledging me again!"

She had thought the man's anger had surely subsided by now, but...
