“That… that way!” The little fire fox gently pointed and said in a childish voice. At the same time, it didn’t forget to nibble on the roasted meat in its paws. Oh, it was so fragrant! It couldn’t resist the temptation of this delicious food, so it could only run over and snatch it!

Leng Ruoxue looked in the direction the little fire fox was pointing at and saw two slightly shy fire foxes coming out from behind the bushes. Their fur was glossy and slippery, and their injuries were all healed!

“Why are you guys here?” Leng Ruoxue asked in confusion. These two foxes hated humans so much, shouldn’t they stay far away from them? Why did they follow them here? Don’t tell her that this was purely a coincidence, she didn’t believe it!

“Xue’er, this family of three has been tailing us all along!” Empty said with a smile. Actually, he had already noticed the three little tails behind him, but he had not said anything about it.

“Oh! Why are you following us?” Leng Ruoxue was speechless. What are these foxes up to?

“We’re here to thank you.” The Fire Fox Couple looked at each other before the male fox spoke.

“There’s no need to thank me. I gave you the medicinal pills because I didn’t want this little fire fox to become an orphan at such a young age, and not because I want you to thank me.” Leng Ruoxue said with a slightly cold tone. She still couldn’t quite figure out what these two foxes wanted to do. However, she wouldn’t think too much of herself and think that this fox couple was moved by her and wanted to ‘sacrifice’ themselves.

“We… We…” The male fox’s face was filled with embarrassment. He wanted to say something but couldn’t. He even stuttered.

“What do you guys want?” Leng Ruoxue asked in confusion. Uh! Why did this hot-tempered male fox become so shy? Where did its imposing manner go?

“We don’t have anywhere to go…” The female fox could only speak up seeing that her husband couldn’t speak.

“Eh!” Leng Ruoxue was speechless. They had nowhere to go, what did it have to do with her? Could it be that they wanted her to take them in? Oh! This wasn’t a shelter!

“With your strength, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to occupy a territory!” Empty smiled and said. These two foxes were both level-five super divine beasts. If he said that he couldn’t find a place to live in this mountain, he wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death!

“Our home has been taken over by another even more powerful beast, so we have no home to return to now,” the fox mother said with a hint of sadness in her voice. It was getting harder and harder to encounter other foxes of the same species as her, but this woman had three of them by her side, and one of them was even a king of the fox clan. Thus, after discussing among themselves after recovering from their injuries, the two of them wanted to follow by the side of that snow fox. It was just that… her husband had been very rude to that snow fox, so they were a little embarrassed to speak up. In addition, they didn’t know if these people would take in their family of three.

“You want me to take you in?” Leng Ruoxue asked.

“Mn, mn.” The two foxes nodded their heads in unison. This woman had saved their lives. As for wanting to follow by the side of the Snow Fox, other than the fact that the fox was publicly acknowledged as the king of the Fox Clan, they also wanted to repay Leng Ruoxue for saving their lives. After all, beast knew how to repay favors.

“Charm, what do you think?” Leng Ruoxue lowered her head and asked the Mei in her arms. That male fox was very rude to them just now. If it wasn’t friendly to her, she could argue with them, but she didn’t want her beast to suffer.

“Master, leave them behind!” Charm looked at the little fire fox, who was eating roasted meat with its head lowered, and then looked at the expectant couple. Her heart softened as she spoke. In truth, she could understand the anger of a naturally proud beast when it heard that its own kind recognized another as its master. If their positions were reversed today, it was afraid that its reaction would be even more intense. Thus, after thinking it through, it no longer felt angry.

“En, since Charm said to keep you guys, then you guys can stay in the group!” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently.

“Thank you.” The two fire foxes were very happy. After thanking him, the male fox walked in front of Charm and bowed slightly. Then, he said, “Sorry about earlier. I was just…”

However, before the male fox could finish, he was interrupted by Charm. “It’s alright. I’m not angry anymore. Also, I can understand why your reactions are so intense.”

“Thank you.” The male fox felt relieved after hearing what Charm said.

“Little Fire! Did you just say that a beast stronger than you guys occupied your home?” At this time, Baby asked curiously.

“Yes, we were injured by that beast.” The male fox lowered his head and said gloomily. Sigh! If this human hadn’t saved them, they would have died and their children wouldn’t have survived.

“What beast is that?” Baby continued asking.

“That beast is covered in flames. I’m not sure what species it is, but it’s very powerful. It’s a level-eight super divine beast.” The male fire fox told him what it knew.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that I was giving birth, the two of us might not have been its match even if we worked together, boohoo…” the fire fox said with great self-reproach. When that beast attacked, it happened to be giving birth. Hence, not only did its husband have to deal with that powerful beast, he also had to divert his attention to worry about it. And the fire fox was severely injured in order to protect the mother and son. After giving birth, its body was weak and it was no match for that powerful enemy. That was why the husband and wife almost died. Sigh! Luckily, this human saved them. Otherwise, their child would probably not have survived.

“Level Eight Transcendent Divine Beast? Its strength is indeed not low!” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile. Other than Icy, that beast should be the highest rank she knew until now.

“Xue’er, it’s not bad if a Level Eight Transcendent Divine Beast becomes a contract beast,” Empty said with a smile.

“I already have a lot of beasts. Even if they haven’t reached the strength of a Level Eight Transcendent Divine Beasts, no one is their match if we attack them in groups.” Leng Ruoxue smiled. To others, a Level Eight Transcendent Divine Beasts might be attractive, but she wasn’t too interested.

“Miss, that beast is of the fire attribute.. It’s the most suitable contract for Young Master,” Lü Tao suggested.
