Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 380 - 48th Chapter: The Queen Without a Crown_2

Tang Xian shook his head. Even Song Que, who was the embodiment of pure chaotic will, held a baseline of justice.

He believed that even if the two personalities merged, Song Que would probably still be the same Song Que capable of bearing the title of a hero.

His thoughts returned to Qing JiuYu, and he stopped pondering over Song Que.

Tang Xian was certainly a person with normal preferences. Should he one day need to share his life with someone, Tang Xian would naturally choose a woman.

He would then find a suitable ovum through intimate contact to pass on his ancestral chromosomes.

As for which woman would provide that suitable ovum, that was another life’s ultimate question to resolve, though not urgently so.

After reaching the top of the sinkhole, Tang Xian took down the portable teleportation rift, set the coordinates, and activated it.

He could already smell the air beyond the towering ridges through his breaths.

Tang Xian knew that the real challenges of his journey to the holy land lay just ahead.

Rescuing Qing JiuYu from the hands of the two Beast Court Judgment Chiefs was not something Tang Xian was entirely sure he could accomplish.

Song Que, naturally, could not worry about such things. If not for his serious injuries, Tang Xian might even have considered leaving Song Que in the sinkhole.

"Are you going to send him to Baichuan City? How will you get back then?"

"I won’t be going back for now. Do you see that teleportation gate by the ridge over there? After I rescue Qing JiuYu, I’ll head that way," Tang Xian said.

"A fortress without a Judgment Knight—I alone might turn its fate around, right?" he added.

While speaking, Tang Xian pushed Song Que into the teleportation rift.

...

...

The holy land, the Demon Dragon Castle.

The greedy and powerful Dragon Clan all required their own palaces.

The Demon Dragon Castle was the palace of the Ash Dragon.

This Ash Dragon could also be referred to as a Red Dragon.

Amongst all dragon species, it possessed the strongest flame elemental power.

In terms of rank, the Ash Dragon was not considered a Divine Beast but more like a Magical Beast.

However, its strength was indeed formidable among catastrophically powerful boss creatures. It could be said that any species that used fire as a weapon must submit to the Ash Dragon.

The Demon Dragon Castle was massive. It was made of countless boulders stacked upon one another since the time of Chongshan Prison, with the nearby beast herds belonging to the Zudun Giants who had built these fortresses.

Not long ago, the Zudun Giants had migrated to another holy land.

In the grand hall of the enormous castle, the weakened Qing JiuYu was bound tight in her fox form by chains of scorching red firebirds.

Plague Source and the Ash Dragon were at the far end of the grand hall, each on their thrones, indifferently scrutinizing Qing JiuYu.

At the side of the throne was the ancient ape, still serving as the translator.

"Lord Ash Dragon and Plague Source have already sent Raven Messengers to inquire about your trial’s verdict. It has been divined by Lord Endless Turtle," spoke the ancient ape.

Qing JiuYu didn’t respond, the diverse viruses crippling her, along with the fiery manacles, left her devoid of any excess strength.

During two days of imprisonment, she hadn’t managed to conserve much energy.

The time had been too short. She hadn’t expected the court to issue its judgment so swiftly, within a mere couple of days.

She had thought that the process would take a long time, considering she was the queen of the foxes, currently the only orange-tier existence within her species.

The foxes were not subordinate to the court, though they were controlled by it.

But the court had also acknowledged that they must adhere to the internal rules of the beast races.

The foxes would not be without a future leader, and under such circumstances, the court should have had reservations about judging her.

The ancient ape seemed to grasp this, and with a mocking tone, it said:

"Qing JiuYu, though you have been granted a name, from now on, you will no longer be protected by the laws of the Beast Court or the foxes."

Qing JiuYu was startled.

A sense of amusement grew more evident in the eyes of the Ash Dragon.

Plague Source maintained the same expression, indifferent, as if what was on trial was nothing more than a worthless weed.

The ancient ape continued:

"According to the beasts, we suspect that it was the Azure Dragon of the southern seas who killed the members of the Lei Xiao Assassin Group. That’s a remnant of Eden’s forces, an entity capable of slaying Lord Shiling alone, perhaps some kind of orange-tier creature of Eden."

"And you, Qing JiuYu. Your kin have noted your recent closeness with humans. The elders of the foxes fail to understand this, but as the sole queen and the only nine-tailed fox, they dare not criticize.

Moreover, you remained silent about the clues after Lord Shiling was taken, despite being aware of them. Lord Endless Turtle has declared that you know all there is to know. In a distant place, you met with humans, as well as creatures from Eden. You may deny it, but in this world, no one would question Lord Endless Turtle’s word."

Qing JiuYu shook her head faintly. She still did not acknowledge that Tang Xian was of the Eden Tribe; she kept insisting he was a Taotie.

But the overly weakened Qing JiuYu, coupled with her tribe’s betrayal, had no desire left to explain any of it.

The ancient ape didn’t care about Qing JiuYu’s reaction and went on:

"Of course, we must admit that establishing a trial is a complex process. Some fox elders have sworn to defend you to the death, and many of the fox creatures are loyal to you, for you are the only queen of the foxes."

"Based on this identity, the court cannot pass a sentence upon you until you abdicate."

Qing JiuYu lifted her massive fox head slightly, a glimmer of hope and confusion appearing in her eyes.

This was her last thread of hope.

But this hope was quickly shattered. The ancient ape said:

"However, starting yesterday, you have been exiled by both the foxes and the court. You are no longer the queen of the foxes. And as for the foxes, they now have a new leader."
