Ch 301: I’m Here To Invite You Back To Snow Ridge
“What are you? How dare you ask my Father to see you? Do you think my Father is someone you can see whenever you want?”
Seeing that Xuan Qiu not only didn’t answer the question but also changed the subject, Hu Jin immediately became angry.
“I advise you to understand your current situation…”
Wu Qiuqiu and Bai Feng frantically winked at her, signaling her to stop immediately.
Don’t say another word!
Jiu Yan also looked regretful; this time, they had gone too far.
While they were talking, a strong voice came from behind Hu Jin.
“Jin’er, who are you talking to?”
The Fox Clan Chieftain walked out of the cave. After recovering for these days, his injuries had almost healed, and his complexion was very rosy.
Although the Snow Wolf Tribe was almost isolated from the outside world, it was a unique and good place. Living here, not only did injuries heal quickly, but strength also increased faster.
If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t stay here for long, he wouldn’t want to leave.
“Father, why did you come out? I’m interrogating a prisoner. Qiuzai brought back a Beastkin who knows Qiuzai’s Mother’s whereabouts,” Hu Jin explained as she turned around to help the Fox Clan Chieftain out.
“Prisoner? Then hurry up and interrogate him properly. If he doesn’t tell the truth, pull out his teeth, rip off his nails, break his bones—I don’t believe he won’t talk…”
Upon hearing this, the Fox Clan Chieftain also indignantly offered suggestions.
The Fox Clan has always been known for its cunning and deceitfulness; they are the most agile, and their methods of interrogating prisoners are endless.
Just as they were speaking, Xuan Qiu looked calmly at the Fox Clan Chieftain’s face.
The Fox Clan Chieftain had just walked out and suddenly saw Xuan Qiu’s face. His voice stopped abruptly, his legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud.
“Ridge… Ridge Lord…” The Fox Clan Chieftain’s voice was also somewhat weak.
Although he didn’t know what the Ridge Lord looked like, as the chieftain, he had seen the Ridge Lord several times through a curtain and was very familiar with the Ridge Lord’s aura.
Even without knowing the Ridge Lord’s true appearance, he recognized their aura.
“Father, what’s wrong with you? Are your injuries not healed yet? How could he be the Ridge Lord? The Ridge Lord should still be on the Snow Ridge,” Hu Jin, still clueless, quickly pulled the Fox Clan Chieftain up.
“Father, are you still angry that the Ridge Lord was blind and drove us out of the Snow Ridge? It’s fine; we won’t return to the Snow Ridge. We’ll just find a tribe to settle down outside; it’s no worse than the Ridge Lord’s broken Snow Ridge!”
However, upon hearing Hu Jin’s words, the Fox Clan Chieftain’s legs became even weaker, and he couldn’t stand up.
He quickly reached out to cover Hu Jin’s mouth, “Shh! Stop talking!”
If they continued, the Fox Clan would not only be unable to return to the Snow Ridge, they would likely face extermination immediately!
“Mmm… I… I didn’t… say anything wrong…”
The Fox Clan Chieftain covered Hu Jin’s mouth, his face full of fear, trembling as he looked at Xuan Qiu.
“Ridge… Ridge Lord, how did you get here…?”
Could it be that the Ridge Lord really wanted to exterminate them and had personally come to the Snow Wolf Tribe to kill them?
Thinking this, the Fox Clan Chieftain immediately prostrated himself and begged for mercy.
“Our Fox Clan has always been loyal to the Ridge Lord and has never had any rebellious intentions. Please, Ridge Lord, be understanding!”
He didn’t care if he died, but Jin’er had just become pregnant with a cub, and the cub hadn’t had the chance to be born and see this Beastkin Continent.
Jin’er and the cub couldn’t have anything happen to them!
Xuan Qiu quickly stopped the Fox Clan Chieftain from kowtowing.
“Don’t worry, I’m not here to hunt you down. What happened to your Fox Clan was indeed my oversight, which caused you to suffer injustice. Chieftain, there’s no need to panic,” Xuan Qiu explained in a deep voice.
Hearing their conversation, Hu Jin was also dumbfounded.
“Y-you’re really the Ridge Lord? The Ridge Lord of the Snow Ridge?” she asked in astonishment, then turned to glare at Jiu Yan.
“You cunning fellow, you knew he was the Ridge Lord all along and deliberately misled me!”
Jiu Yan touched his nose and stood behind Bai Feng, blocking Hu Jin’s murderous gaze.
The Fox Clan Chieftain quickly pulled Hu Jin back, shielding her with his body, and cautiously asked, “Ridge Lord, is there something important you need?”
He dared not speculate on the Ridge Lord’s intentions.
If they weren’t here to kill them, why would they come to the Snow Wolf Tribe?
It must be some important matter that brought them here.
Jin’er had just offended the Ridge Lord, and even if the Ridge Lord forgave the Fox Clan, they would probably settle the score with Jin’er. He would sacrifice his own life to protect Jin’er’s safety.
“Grandfather Chieftain, don’t worry. Uncle Qiu came to the Snow Wolf Tribe with no ill intentions. He’s here to tell you that the Fox Clan was wrongly accused, and we plan to return to the Snow Ridge. Uncle Qiu is here to invite you all back to the Snow Ridge!”
Seeing that the Fox Clan Chieftain still looked terrified and didn’t seem to believe the Ridge Lord, Wu Qiuqiu had to step forward to explain.
“Invite us back to the Snow Ridge?” The Fox Clan Chieftain was stunned, his expression incredulous.
The Ridge Lord personally invited them back to the Snow Ridge?
Was he dreaming?
“Qiuzai, don’t make such jokes. The Ridge Lord wouldn’t possibly make a special trip for us,” the Fox Clan Chieftain came to his senses and quickly shook his head at Wu Qiuqiu.
He was afraid that her innocent words would anger the Ridge Lord.
“That’s right, didn’t Jiu Yan just say that he found the key to Qingya?” Hu Jin also looked disbelieving.
After the last incident, Hu Jin no longer respected the Ridge Lord. In her eyes, the Ridge Lord was a blind person who indiscriminately exterminated those they didn’t like.
No one would remain respectful towards a Beastkin who almost exterminated their own clan.
“Grandfather Chieftain, Godmother, Uncle Qiu isn’t joking. What Uncle Qiu said is true. He’s here to take you back to the Snow Ridge,” Wu Qiuqiu explained helplessly, shaking Bai Feng and Jiu Yan’s arms. “Father, quickly tell Godmother if that’s so.”
With the Ridge Lord’s status, even before, the two wouldn’t believe this. It’s no wonder the Fox Clan Chieftain and Hu Jin couldn’t believe it.
Bai Feng and Jiu Yan also nodded, “Qiuqiu is right.”
Xuan Qiu also reassured them again, “Chieftain, don’t worry, what happened before won’t happen again. The previous Saintess was an imposter. Qiuqiu is the true Saintess of the Snow Ridge, my true cub.”
“The Fox Clan was wrongly accused because Long Ran falsely conveyed my orders. Knowing Qiuqiu’s identity, she wanted to silence her. Now I’ve found out the truth and will clear the Fox Clan’s name.”
As for those Fox Beastkin who had died unjustly, the dead couldn’t be brought back to life, so he could only try his best to compensate the families of the deceased.
“Wh… what? Qiuqiu is the Snow Ridge’s Saintess?!”
Hearing Xuan Qiu’s words, it was as if a bomb had been dropped in the minds of the Fox Clan Chieftain and Hu Jin.
Their shock was no less than hearing that the Ridge Lord had come to invite them back.
Hu Jin was even more dumbfounded. The cub she recognized had suddenly become the Ridge Lord’s cub!
After being stunned for a while, she came to her senses and rushed to hug Wu Qiuqiu.
Wu Qiuqiu thought something was wrong with Hu Jin and looked at her nervously.
But then she heard Hu Jin laugh, “I’m so awesome! I’m actually the godmother of the Ridge Lord’s cub!”
Wu Qiuqiu: …
Bai Feng, Jiu Yan: …This female’s way of thinking is different from others.
