NABC Chapter 217
Chapter 217
"Xie Qinzhou, what exactly are you trying to do?" Zhi Yao looked at Xie Qinzhou, utterly perplexed.
If he only wanted to prevent conflict between the Wolf Tribe and the Fox Clan, he could have simply led the Fox Clan to a quiet place to live. Judging by his actions in kidnapping her mother, Xie Qinzhou clearly wasn't considering the Fox Clan's interests at all.
She could see that Xie Qinzhou was ambitious. As for what his ambitions were, Zhi Yao had no idea.
Xie Qinzhou looked at Zhi Yao, his previously angry expression suddenly calming in that moment.
"Zhi Yao, sometimes I truly hate."
Zhi Yao stood still, silently watching Xie Qinzhou.
"Do you know what I hate?" His gaze drifted far away, as if recalling something.
"From the moment I was born, our Fox Clan has been constantly wandering, relocating. All of this is because of the Wolf Tribe, and of course, because of our own weakness. Since I was young, I've harbored an intense hatred and disgust for the Wolf Tribe. To me, they're truly a despicable race. Until one day, my mother told me that our Fox Clan had a Nine-Tailed Red Fox. She was a symbol of power in our clan, and with her, our Fox Clan would no longer be bullied by the Wolf Tribe."
At that moment, it was as if he had seen hope. He joyfully anticipated the day when the Fox Clan's mightiest warrior would mate with the Nine-Tailed Red Fox, giving birth to the most powerful fox cub.
He no longer wanted to watch his loved ones and friends being bullied by the Wolf Tribe.
Watching important people leave before his eyes was not an easy thing to bear.
Until...
The clan discovered that Zhi Yi had actually betrayed the Fox Clan! She had given birth to a Wolf Tribe child!
This was a betrayal to everyone in the Fox Clan! A deep, unforgivable betrayal! Everyone had been hoping that Zhi Yi would give birth to another Nine-Tailed Red Fox.
At that time, the more Nine-Tailed Red Foxes there were, the stronger the Fox Clan would become.
"You, and your mother, you're both traitors!" Xie Qinzhou's eyes reddened. "My mother... my mother died protecting your mother from the Wolf Tribe. She died at their claws, but what did your mother do? She actually went and joined the Wolf Tribe! She even bore a child for them?! Unforgivable! This is truly unforgivable!!"
Xie Qinzhou's emotions had reached a fever pitch. Zhi Yao was completely taken aback, never imagining there was such a backstory.
What happened back then?
Zhi Yao was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly realized that her mother was about to reveal the truth about how Xie Qinzhou's mother had died saving her.
Zhi Yao immediately pricked up her ears, listening intently.
"I didn't go to the Wolf Tribe willingly back then." Recalling the past, Zhi Yi's expression cooled.
"I was sent there by the Fox Clan."
What?!
This revelation shocked not only Xie Qinzhou but Zhi Yao as well.
Xie Qinzhou was stunned because he had always been told that Zhi Yi had betrayed the Fox Clan and fled to the Wolf Tribe.
Zhi Yao was shocked because she had always assumed her mother had been forcibly taken by her father. Heaven knows, she had already imagined countless stories of a domineering wolf chief and his fiery fox wife.
Who would have thought... it was this kind of plot twist?
She immediately held her breath, ready to listen to the story.
"Back then, the Wolf Tribe was pursuing the Fox Clan, defeating us utterly. Many newborn spirit foxes, barely old enough to take human form, were snatched away and devoured by the Wolf Tribe, their spiritual energy absorbed. The Fox Clan was truly desperate. Think about it, how could we possibly be a match for the Wolf Tribe? So, the Fox Clan elders came up with a plan..."
That plan was to send the Nine-Tailed Red Fox, the symbol of the Fox Clan's dignity, to the Wolf Tribe in exchange for the survival of the other foxes.
After all, the spiritual energy possessed by the Nine-Tailed Red Fox was incomparable to that of other foxes.
The Wolf Tribe was a group-oriented species, only listening to their Wolf King.
If they offered Zhi Yi to the Wolf King, who knows? Perhaps the Wolf King would be pleased and might even spare the Fox Clan.
When Zhi Yi learned about this, she had already been drugged by the Fox Clan and sent to the Wolf Tribe. By the time she woke up...
