Chapter 856 -856: Fan Zixuan’s Wish!
A Yu Family young master, Yu Hong, who was also an exceptionally strong Great Grandmaster of ancient martial arts, was now a blubbering mess, clinging onto Huang Xiaolong’s thighs, ceaselessly pleading for mercy, much like some wretched creature begging his own master for grace.
Stunned, dazed, and utterly bewildered…
Everyone in the private room was vigorously rubbing their eyes, almost as if they were trying to burst them, just to clearly see whether the scene before them was real, or perhaps a cruel joke, an illusionary dream.
“Alright, stop your sniveling in front of me,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. “Stand up.”
“Are you… not… not angry anymore, Elder Sir?” Yu Hong’s face was ashen, his heart already cursed the entire Fan Family and swore to take revenge on Fan Zixuan and his son. If the Yu Family’s higher-ups learned about what had happened with Huang Xiaolong, Yu Hong would likely be put to death directly! This was no mere scaremongering—given Huang Xiaolong’s means, uprooting the Yu Family would be as easy as blowing off dust. Even more so, with just a command from Huang Xiaolong, other ancient martial families would launch an attack on the Yu Family!
Imperceptibly, Huang Xiaolong had already become the king above the ten great ancient martial families of Huaxia!
“What do I have to be angry about? Am I worth that?” Huang Xiaolong replied speechlessly.
Upon hearing this, Yu Hong finally exhaled a long breath and felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. “Right, right, right, who is Elder Sir anyways? To your eyes, the Fan Family in Rong City is less significant than ants, would you bother getting upset over little ants? It’s not worth it!”
These words clearly fell into the ears of everyone present in the private room.
All of them shuddered with horror!
Good heavens! What sort of person was Huang Xiaolong really?
The Fan Family of Rong City was just trivial ants in his eyes! These words, coming from anyone else, would naturally be seen as ridiculous raving, yet, they were spoken by Young Master Yu Hong!
At this moment, Fan Zixuan’s father burst into tears with a loud cry, going weak as if he were made of noodles and collapsed to the ground, beating his chest and stumping his feet while cursing at Fan Zixuan. “You beast! You wretch! You… you really know how to bring disaster upon me! Our… our Fan Family is finished!”
“Dad~~ Dad~~ are we… are we dreaming?” Fan Zixuan was utterly disconsolate.
“Yay, Bingbing actually knows such a distinguished person…” Mother Zhao’s eyes lit up instantly.
Yu Hong stood up and whispered earnestly beside Huang Xiaolong, his face full of flattery, “So, should we take care of the Fan Family…” Yu Hong made a throat-slitting gesture.
“The Fan Family’s matters are not something your Yu Family needs to worry about,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. “Does the Fan Family worship a guardian immortal?”
“Uh?” Yu Hong staggered, then hurriedly answered. “Master… since Fan Zixuan’s grandfather’s time, they’ve always been engaged in all kinds of mystical nonsense—worshipping beasts… yes, foxes. They keep a lot of foxes at their home. I think the whole Fan Family is mad.”
Last time in Binhai, Yu Zhe and Yu Hong among others had submitted to Huang Xiaolong, therefore they addressed Huang Xiaolong as ‘Master’. Back then, it felt like a great humiliation, but today, this “Master” felt like an immense honor, and his whole body indulged in comfort.
Serving as Huang Xiaolong’s servant, wasn’t that the same as their ancestors’ graves billowing with green smoke?
“Heh~~~ I can see that even your Yu Family is not clear about the Fan Family’s details,” Huang Xiaolong said, looking amused. “Alright, another day have someone with a say in your Yu Family come and find me. You may leave, take this father and son with you. Don’t make it difficult for them, and your Yu Family should also not act recklessly. They are my toys.”
Now, Huang Xiaolong understood that not only has the Fan Family been worshipping fox spirits as their guardian immortals for three generations, but their home was likely a fox den. There might even be high-ranking spirits amongst them!
‘It’s said that a fox spirit’s power can be judged by the number of tails it has, the more tails a fox spirit has, the more powerful it is. A nine-tailed fox spirit is the king among the Fox Clan… I wonder how many tails the guardian immortal the Fan Family worships has…’
In this regard, Huang Xiaolong was full of interest, and he did not want the Yu Family to intervene. He planned to personally have some fun!
“Yes, yes, I understand.” Yu Hong nodded hastily.
Then, Yu Hong promptly excused himself, carrying Fan Zixuan and his son out of the private room.
After Yu Hong and others left, everyone in the private room rushed towards Huang Xiaolong, showering him with all sorts of sycophantic words, pouring down on him as if they cost nothing.
Brown-nosing! Flattery! Obsequiousness! Bootlicking!
Mother Zhao pulled Zhao Bing over, her eyes gleaming. “My dear daughter, your boyfriend is so formidable, his status and background are so extraordinary, why didn’t you tell Mom earlier? Aiya! Even the Yu Family fears him… My dear daughter, you must have accumulated good fortune in your past life! How did you meet Little Long?”
Indeed, Mother Zhao had some nerve to refer to Huang Xiaolong as “Little Long” with considerable warmth.
“Mom! You are being a snob!” Zhao Bing spat out with her face flushed red. However, inside, she felt as if she had knocked over a jar of honey, sickeningly sweet!
At this time, Huang Xiaolong had lost his appetite for dining, so he lived up to his word and dealt with all sorts of troubles for the people in the private room on the spot.
Exorcising demons where necessary, handing out talismans where requested, treating diseases…
…
Evening.
The Fan Family stronghold in Rong City.
Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
A feng shui gem located in the suburbs, nestled against mountains and beside water. A series of villas stood erect.
The tallest villa. In the council hall.
The head of the Fan Family, the father of Fan Zixuan, sat arrogantly on a large chair.
On either side of him sat the pillars of the Fan Family’s current generation. At the moment, these people all had faces filled with shock and resentment, and they looked at Fan Zixuan, who was kneeling on the ground, with great anger.
Fan Zixuan’s hands were wrapped in bandages, and his face showed a mix of grievance and bitterness. “Dad, this has nothing to do with me. I had no idea that kid actually… actually… had such a big background…”
“Damn it! Shut up!” Fan Zixuan’s father roared in fury, smoke seemingly billowing from his seven orifices. “You beast! Our Fan Family is about to be destroyed by you! You little monster! How did I ever father such a direly unfilial progeny? Are you trying to anger me to death?”
“Family Head, regarding this matter, I’m afraid the Yu Family and that distinguished person might pursue it. Our Fan Family absolutely cannot afford to offend the Yu Family. Perhaps, let Zixuan carry a thornbush and ask for punishment, to kneel down and apologize to that distinguished person. Pray for forgiveness,” an elder said with a grim expression.
“No! Dad, why should I go and apologize? He crippled me!” Fan Zixuan argued stubbornly.
“You worthless son! You… you…” Fan Zixuan’s father trembled with rage. “Crippled? Even if today they had killed you, our Fan Family wouldn’t dare to let out a fart!”
“Dad! You’re being too cowardly!” Finally, Fan Zixuan couldn’t contain his roar of indignation. “Our Fan Family isn’t without support! Let’s just ask the Fox Fairy to take action! I refuse to believe that the Fox Fairy can’t kill a mere mortal! Our family has worshiped the Fox Fairy for three generations, and now that I’ve caused trouble, asking for the Fox Fairy’s intervention is… is only right. Besides, didn’t the Fox Fairy say she could grant our family one wish?”
Upon hearing this, Fan Zixuan’s father’s face went pale as if he had heard something utterly terrifying. He slammed his hands on the arm of his chair and stood up abruptly. “You little beast! Don’t spout such nonsense! Leave at once! Don’t disturb the Fox Fairy with this matter! Get out! If you utter one more word, I’ll kill you myself! Leave!”
Fan Zixuan, utterly scolded, a fierce glint passing through his eyes, got up and left the council hall without a word.
After Fan Zixuan left, a middle-aged man in the council hall furrowed his brow. “Family Head, weren’t you a bit too harsh? As the saying goes, even a tiger does not eat its cubs. Why are you speaking of killing Zixuan? Actually, what Zixuan said made some sense. The Fox Fairy did promise to grant our Fan Family one wish. Having cultivated for thousands of years, the Fox Fairy has profound abilities that may not necessarily be afraid of that person, nor necessarily… be afraid of… the Yu Family…”
“You all know nothing!” Fan Zixuan’s father collapsed back into his chair, his expression dark and fearful, which grew more and more intense. After several minutes, he sighed and said. “Enough, I must tell you the secret of the Fox Fairy, lest you do something wrong and bring about the doom of our entire house.”
Fan Zixuan’s father organized his thoughts, then began to speak. “Yes, the protecting deity of our Fan Family, the Fox Fairy, indeed has thousands of years of cultivation and in terms of power, is not inferior to the Yu Family. To tell you the truth, the Fox Fairy has eight tails!”
“In the Fox Clan, the more tails one has, the more powerful they are. Each additional tail makes them more than ten times stronger! A nine-tailed fox is an existence like immortals that can communicate directly with the heavens, move mountains and fill seas. Our Fan Family’s revered Fox Fairy has eight tails and is just one tail away from perfection.”
“However, to grow the ninth tail is incredibly difficult! My father told me that to grow the last tail and ascend to the ranks of immortals, an eight-tailed fox must interact with humans, be worshiped by them, and become their protective deity. Then, the eight-tailed fox must help the humans fulfill a wish. Once this wish is fulfilled, naturally, with complete merit, it would grow the ninth tail, and become the emperor of the Fox Clan.”
“But… over the course of history, for thousands of years, eight-tailed foxes have fulfilled countless wishes for humans. Strangely enough, every time a wish is fulfilled and the ninth tail grows, one tail would fall off. Thus, the eight-tailed foxes can never truly grow their ninth tail! This has become a vicious cycle!”
“Later, the enraged eight-tailed foxes took a heavy oath: if the human’s wish is granted and they still grow and lose a tail, they would devour that family! Extinguishing their lineage! Leaving no chicken or dog alive!”
“Ever since my grandfather began to worship the Fox Fairy, we’ve never dared to make any wishes to the Fox Fairy… What we fear is, if the wish is granted and the Fox Fairy can’t truly grow its ninth tail, then, it will surely keep its promise and devour my entire family!”
In the entire council hall, the sound of people inhaling sharply in shock rose and fell.
“Actually, in my view, the so-called nine-tailed fox fairy is just nonsense. It’s impossible for the fox clan to produce a nine-tailed fox fairy,” Father Fan said with a trembling voice. “After my father passed away and I took over the Fan Family, the Fox Fairy would often proactively ask me if I had any wishes it could help me fulfill. I’ve always subtly refused. Fortunately, the Fox Fairy didn’t force me. Instead, whenever our Fan Family needed help, it would send some lesser fox fairies to lend a hand…”
Everyone suddenly understood.
“As long as none of my family members make a wish to the Fox Fairy, it will continue to bless us! We also won’t have to worry about being eaten,” Father Fan said with a smile.
…
The Fan Family villa complex.
The back mountain.
In front of a cave.
Outside the cave, many foxes were frolicking and playing. Their fur was yellow, black, white, and red. Some had one tail, others had two. The one with the most tails was a red fox with seven tails, its demeanor haughty, exuding the air of a sovereign.
Fan Zixuan came alone to the outside of the cave and suddenly knelt on both knees, calling out with a trembling voice, “Fox Fairy, Zixuan requests an audience.”
From inside the cave, a clear, melodious female voice like music from the heavens floated through the air, making listeners’ pores open and feeling so comfortable they nearly soared into the sky.
“Fan Zixuan, what brings you to seek me? Could it be that you want me to fulfill some wish of yours?”
“Yes, yes! Yes! Fox Fairy, Zixuan begs you to kill someone! Kill a detestable person!” Fan Zixuan said, filled with deep venom.
“Oh… Is that truly your wish?” The woman’s voice contained a hint of excitement. “Hehehe~~ Good, very good! After so many years, someone from the Fan Family has finally made a wish to me… Excellent! As you wish! I will kill someone for you.”
Squeak, squeak~~ Squeak squeak squeak~~ Squeak squeak~~~
The various foxes outside the cave all emitted excited, high-pitched howls, jumping up and down.
