Shock and disbelief!
The First Black Fox Elder, who would not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, was barely able to hold the little fox cub in his arms. This was enough to prove how shaken this mysterious elder was.
'Oh no, have I been exposed?'
Mei Xue's tail quivered. He already had a bad feeling when he was hugged by the Qingqiu Queen, and the feeling became even more obvious when he was in the hands of this mysterious Black Fox Elder.
This Black Fox Elder, who had always been standing behind the mature and magnanimous Fox Queen, was not on the same level as the Black Fox Elder that he had come into contact with at Qingqiu Jiuyue's side.
Even though his face was covered by the shadow of the cloak, Mei Xue, who was in close contact with this Black Fox Elder, could clearly feel the enormous pressure hidden in the dark.
If one had to describe it, the demonic aura of the Black Fox Elder beside Qingqiu Jiuyue was like an ocean, vast and boundless. However, this Black Fox Elder's demonic aura was condensed to the limit, forming a huge invisible hole that locked the surrounding World Qi within his body.
If he had not come into contact with him personally, Mei Xue would not have been able to sense the characteristics of his demonic aura.
This was definitely not an ordinary Divine Will realm. In fact, it might not even belong to the realm of Divine Will. That ice-cold demonic aura that could devour everything clearly surpassed any Divine Will expert that Mei Xue knew.
"Little fellow … You … Could it be …" As he gently stroked Mei Xue's smooth green fur, the First Black Fox Elder, who was cold in everyone's eyes, had a gentle look in his eyes. It was as if he was afraid of hurting Mei Xue.
In the entire Fox Demon Clan, even the mischievous little princess of the Golden Fur Jade-faced Nine-tailed Fox had never received such treatment from the First Black Fox Elder.
The Black Fox Elder of the Demon Fox Clan continued to fall in the years of losing the Golden Fur Jade Faced Nine-tailed Fox. The entire Demon Fox Clan was in a precarious situation. No one knew how old this mysterious Black Fox Elder was. He had lived from the era of the previous Golden Fur Jade Faced Nine-tailed Fox until the birth of the current Golden Fur Jade Faced Nine-tailed Fox Princess.
One could say that without this mysterious Black Fox Elder, the Fox Demon Clan would have fallen apart long ago, vanishing in the long river of history of the Myriad Seas Mountain Range.
In that long period of time, there was no telling how many Daemon Fox Queens had changed, but the Master of the Black Tower, the tallest of the Green Hill Foxes, never changed. Like a towering lighthouse, he shone upon the Daemon Foxes who were plagued by calamities, and finally waited until a new golden-furred, jade-faced, nine-tailed fox was born.
In the eyes of the Demon Foxes of the Green Hill Foxes, the prestige of the mysterious Black Fox Elder far surpassed that of the previous Green Hill Queens. She was the true sage of the Demon Foxes, second only to the legendary golden-furred, jade-faced, nine-tailed fox.
"Awoo …" Mei Xue blinked, clearly unable to answer the Black Fox Elder's question.
"Hehe … That's true … You're still so young, so you probably don't know anything."
The Black Fox Elder sniffed the scent on Mei Xue, and was almost certain that Mei Xue had not even been born for fifty years.
For the Fox Demon Clan, this bit of time was not enough to develop intelligence, even for the gifted Fox Jade-faced Nine-tailed Fox. Thus, it was the mission of the entire Fox Demon Clan to take care of the young foxes of their own race.
It was great that this little fellow was discovered by his own clansmen, and the Black Fox Elder rejoiced from the bottom of his heart.
Below the stage, the Foxes that saw the Black Fox Elder's gentle movements were stunned.
This was the mysterious First Black Fox Elder, who never smiled in speech or manner, and was known as the stabilizing pillar of the Fox Demon Clan's sage.
To make the Black Fox Elder, who almost never left the Black Tower, smile, how outstanding was the talent of this green young fox?
"Elder … As expected … it's that?"
Although she was the Queen of Green Hill, when she saw the genuine smile on the Black Fox Elder's face, the Fox Queen was certain that her intuition was indeed correct.
"Most likely … I never thought that the heavens would bless our Fox Demon Clan, truly unbelievable …" The Black Fox Elder plucked a strand of black hair from his ear, and then solemnly left a mark on Mei Xue's body.
This was a mark that would be left on all young foxes born in Green Hill, and was also a mark that would be placed on the descendants of the Fox Demon Clan by their elders when they were born. The reason why Qing Qiu Chuyue knew that Mei Xue was an abandoned young fox the moment she saw him was precisely because he did not have such a mark on him.
As long as he was within the boundaries of Green Hill, the young fox that possessed this mark would receive the protection of the Elder's power in a moment of life and death, forming a barrier that could protect him for a short period of time.
And once the mark was activated, the surrounding Fox Demon Clan would have to rush forth to rescue him at all costs, saving the young fox that was in danger. This was the rescue system that the Fox Demon Clan had established to protect their descendants.
Only those young Fox Demon Clan that had been abandoned by their parents would not have any mark on them. Thus, when Mei Xue appeared before Qing Qiu Chuyue, she was mistaken for an abandoned young fox.
The power of this protective mark was different depending on the strength of the person who placed it.
Without a doubt, the mark that was placed by the First Black Fox Elder was the strongest and most special mark in the entire Fox Demon Clan.
As the First Black Fox Elder was in seclusion all year round, and did not really deal with the clan's affairs, the number of young foxes that possessed this Black Fox Elder's mark in the history of the Fox Demon Clan could be counted on one hand.
And the moment he saw Mei Xue, he planted his own unique mark on her without hesitation. This was the proof that the First Black Fox Elder took special care of Mei Xue.
"What?
Is this little fellow really that talented? "
The Second Black Fox Elder, the clan leader of the Su Family of the Fox Demon Clan, looked suspiciously at the First Black Fox Elder who had planted his mark on Mei Xue, and touched Mei Xue as well.
"This … What's going on!" It would have been better if he had not touched her, but the moment he touched her, Elder Su's eyes almost popped out.
When one's cultivation reached the Divine Will level, he had already begun to interact with the will of the heavens. Thus, he naturally discovered the truth that the First Black Fox Elder, the Fox Demon Queen, had discovered.
But, how, how was this possible!
How could there be such a talented Fox Demon in this world!
This bone, this bloodline, and even this Spiritual Qi that was so close to him!
This, this was really just a young fox!
What a joke, how could there be such a young fox in this world? Since when could a young fox cultivate such a perfect and flawless body!
"Say no more … Keep this secret first … This child, I'm afraid, will be the hope of our Fox Demon Clan." A telepathic thought rang in Elder Su's mind. It was the voice of the First Black Fox Elder.
"That's right, this child's future achievements will definitely not be limited to the Black Fox Demon Clan!
If he marries with the nine moons, he will give birth to the legendary Celestial Fox. "The Fox Demon Queen's voice was filled with joy, as if she could see the arrival of the Fox Demon Clan's most glorious era.
