Chapter 218
Wolves were everywhere before her eyes.
At that time, she was probably only about a thousand years old.
Having always lived among the Fox Clan, she had naturally never seen so many wolves before. Moreover, the way those wolves looked at her was so menacing, as if they might pounce on her and tear her to pieces at any moment.
To say she wasn't afraid would be impossible.
Of course she was afraid, terribly afraid in fact.
But she had been raised as a cherished child, and she knew that she represented the Fox Clan. She couldn't show any cowardice.
Even if... the Fox Clan had betrayed her, she still had to try to secure a chance of survival for them.
What she didn't expect was that later, internal strife broke out in the Wolf Tribe. By a stroke of luck, she wasn't eaten by the Wolf King at the time. She managed to escape in the chaos, and along the way, she even saved a young man.
That young man was Ling Jue, who would later become the Wolf King.
At first, she didn't know Ling Jue was also a wolf. After all, he looked so frail that she had always thought he was another captive of the Wolf Tribe. So she did everything she could to treat Ling Jue's severe injuries.
They relied on each other to survive for a while, but eventually, they were discovered by the Wolf Tribe.
At that time, Ling Jue rushed out to draw away the Wolf Tribe in order to save her. She ran for her life, but when she finally made it back to the Fox Clan, she found they had already relocated.
The days of fear and terror had taken their toll, and Zhi Yi immediately fell unconscious.
When she woke up again, she was... back in the Wolf Tribe?!
She thought this time she would surely die. She had overheard conversations among the Wolf Tribe.
The Wolf Tribe was in chaos. A Snow Wolf had appeared out of nowhere, with vicious strikes and lightning-fast movements. His spiritual power was astonishingly deep, and he had directly killed the old Wolf King. It was known that in the Wolf Tribe, the victor becomes the king. He instantly conquered all of the Wolf Tribe and succeeded to become the new Wolf King.
Zhi Yi would never forget that day when she thought she was about to be eaten by the new Wolf King, but the person who walked in was... Ling Jue.
She couldn't forget the entranced look in Ling Jue's eyes at that moment.
He stared at her intently and called her "sister."
He said, "Sister, don't leave me."
"Sister, I killed the old Wolf King. From now on, the Wolf Tribe will obey me. No one will dare to hurt you anymore."
"Sister, hug me."
Zhi Yi never imagined that she had saved a wolf.
She was shocked. Although she hated the Wolf Tribe, she couldn't bring herself to hate the young man before her.
Ling Jue seemed so fragile in front of her, and yet... he had actually killed the old Wolf King! He had conquered the entire Wolf Tribe. This was something Zhi Yi couldn't have imagined even in her wildest dreams.
But no matter what, this gave Zhi Yi hope. She could leave the Wolf Tribe now, she could return to the Fox Clan. She believed that Ling Jue would surely send her back.
But... this was just the beginning of the nightmare.
Ling Jue imprisoned her.
She begged him to let her go back, but he refused. She tried to escape, but this only resulted in even stricter surveillance.
Until one time, she almost managed to escape. Ling Jue personally led the pursuit. That time, she thoroughly enraged Ling Jue.
It was also that time which led to her pregnancy.
After giving birth to the child, Ling Jue's vigilance relaxed a lot, because during that period, she never tried to escape again.
Later, she finally seized an opportunity and fled from there, returning to the Fox Clan.
But by then, all the elders had already died.
No one knew that back then, it was actually they who had abandoned her.
Everyone thought she was a traitor.
Zhi Yao listened to her parents' love story with wide eyes. Suddenly, she felt that her father was so crazy, truly insane...
At the same time, she also felt that her father was too much. How helpless her mother must have felt at that time.
As the story reached this point, Zhi Yi looked up at Xie Qinzhou and said softly, "You kidnapped me and lured Yao here to threaten Ling Jue, right?"
"Did you think that if you and Yao got engaged, even for Yao's sake, the Wolf Tribe wouldn't easily move against the Fox Clan in the future?"
In fact, Xie Qinzhou had no particular obsession with Zhi Yao. Everything he did was just for the Fox Clan.
He thought that neither Zhi Yi nor Zhi Yao cared about the Fox Clan or would consider its interests, which was why he resorted to such a desperate measure.
Xie Qinzhou remained silent. Zhi Yi sighed, "It's useless. The conflict between the Wolf Tribe and the Fox Clan has lasted for thousands of years. It can't be resolved like this."
Although the Wolf Tribe was fierce and had killed many of the Fox Clan, the Fox Clan wasn't helpless either. Many from the Wolf Tribe had also died at the hands of the Fox Clan. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Moreover, you've misjudged Pei Chiyao." From the moment she saw that man, Zhi Yi knew that he was even more insane than Ling Jue!
If anyone dared to compete with him for Zhi Yao... Zhi Yi didn't dare to imagine what terrible things Pei Chiyao might do.
Xie Qinzhou closed his eyes for a moment, and finally spoke, "Then what should we do? Look at these fox cubs. How old are they? Do you really want me to watch them die with my own eyes?"
After all these years, the elders of the Fox Clan had finally given in. They had passed the position of clan leader to him and gone to another world. How could he let them down?
Zhi Yao also glanced at the little fox cubs and said, "Xie Qinzhou, rather than doing this, you might as well have an open and honest talk with the Wolf Tribe. By kidnapping my mother like this, when my father finds out, he'll surely become even more insane."
Although she hadn't seen Ling Jue go crazy yet, from what Zhi Yi had just said, he seemed to be about as bad as Pei Chiyao.
Zhi Yao couldn't help but wonder if this trait of attracting lunatics was hereditary.
Otherwise, how could she and her mother both attract lunatics like Pei Chiyao and Ling Jue?
"Talk? How can we talk?" Xie Qinzhou laughed, "Do you think we haven't considered this method? Do you know how many foxes who went to the Wolf Tribe were cruelly killed? They cut off the foxes' paws and sent them back! This is a show of force!"
If this method had worked, he wouldn't have resorted to targeting Zhi Yao and Zhi Yi.
From start to finish, he had only one purpose: to exterminate the Wolf Tribe! For only then could their Fox Clan survive!
Zhi Yi remained silent for a long while, not uttering a word.
Xie Qinzhou let out three cold laughs, finally unable to contain himself. "I sympathize with your plight, but while I feel for you, who will sympathize with the Fox Clan? Your hatred for the Fox Clan is understandable, which is why you've now joined the Wolf Tribe. I don't blame you for that. However, our positions are opposite. I must protect the remaining fox cubs of the Fox Clan at all costs. So, I'm sorry!"

As his words rang out, Zhi Yao suddenly realized something was amiss. She hurriedly looked up at Xie Qinzhou, only to see him raise his hand and dash swiftly towards Zhi Yi...
What... what was he going to do?!
