Chapter 934 “Fox Clan? (5)”
“Miss, your dance is getting more and more beautiful, even our noblest king will certainly me mesmerized by your beauty.” One of the maids nearby compliments after coming back to their senses due to the amazing show.
Scratching the other side’s nose with a genuine smile, the lady felt good at being praised: “What are you saying you silly. Don’t forget, it was my older sister’s foolish dream of wanting to become the queen that we were forced to leave the Demon Realm and come here. Do you think His Majesty would be so easily captivated?”
“Miss, you are wrong on that. Unlike First Miss, you are superior in both looks and charms, there’s no way the king wouldn’t fancy you. I bet in this whole city, there’s not a single man who wouldn’t fall for your beauty.”
Although this flattering remark was exaggerated to a certain level, it did have a very high effect on the fox lady. Why did she abandon her cultivation to specialize in dancing and seductive charming? Of course its to allow her family and herself to return from their exile and the demon palace.
Unfortunately, she and her father did not believe in the same way of doing things. Her old man has accepted their fate of being exiled to this gutter of a wasteland due to the varying degree of constant warring and wanted to take this border city as their base of power, believing the hard work done here would eventually earn the king’s forgiveness and allow for their return. The goal was the same for the pair, but the means to that goal differed between father and daughter.
“You, this mouth of yours is really getting sweeter and sweeter. It’s unfortunate that the king already has a queen according to what I’ve heard. This road I’ve chosen will be a long and hard one.”
“Miss,” it’s then a voice from the rear interrupts their conversation. Coming over, the individual looking like one of the guards here arches his fist and speaks: “There are two people outside currently wishing to see the housemaster, but he’s….”
“See my father?” the lady became surprised by the idea. Raising a brow, “Who are they?”
“A human and a demon,” the guard answers respectfully.
Making a mused look as if contemplating her options: “My father is currently in closed-door training so no one is to disturb him until he’s out. I’m his daughter, so if there’s anything of importance then I will see to it. Bring those two to me and I’ll meet them.”
“Yes, milady.” Getting the order, the guard promptly went away for the front door where the two should still be waiting.
……
Outside of the estate at the front gate, Bai Yan was quietly waiting with Dragony for the home’s host to show themselves when a group led by a lady in pink came out to greet them. From first glance, she could see why some would call the fox demons a race of seduction and allure. This lady had a very beautiful contour, but the most outstanding feature were those eyes – they spoke of femininity without words needed.
While there’s no problem for one to want an outgoing appearance and dress code, Dragony on the other hand didn’t feel the same and found the fox lady rather dislikable.
“I believe I said I wanted to see the fox clan’s chief.” Bai Yan says after seeing who had come out.
“I’m his daughter Hu Mei. You can speak to me if you have something to say.” Hu Mei frowns after being dismissed as the one in charge and also showed a hint of hostility in the voice.
Being dismissed despite coming out to greet some unknown stranger would of course irk anyone; however, Hu Mei had another reason for disliking Bai Yan and that was their looks. This fox demoness had always believed her own beauty to be unmatched aside from the princess and king being on par. Yet now there’s a strange human woman coming to her home and had a contour far superior to her own. As the old saying goes, one mountain cannot hold two tigers.
“My mother is the queen of the Demon Realm,” breaking free from Bai Yan’s grasp, Dragony hurries forward to make a stand. “We are looking for the fox clan’s chief.”
