Chapter 1199: Chapter 1172: Cannon Fodder in the Demon Hunting Novel 36

Hu Sanniang didn’t expect things to turn out this way.

She couldn’t decide on her own, so she quickly invited the three Elders over.

When the three Elders heard that Anning had acquired the true inheritance of the Fox Clan, they were moved to tears.

"How many years has it been? It’s truly unexpected, completely unexpected. Our Fox Clan’s inheritance hasn’t been severed. We still have a day to regain it. From now on, our Fox Clan will no longer be oppressed."

Seeing the Elders cry, many of the little fox fairies followed suit.

These years have been tough for the Fox Clan.

Not only have they faced the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, but also the bullying by many other Demon Clans.

The Fox Clan has always been known for its beauty. Both the men and women of the Fox Clan are beautiful, to the point of tempting demons to commit crimes.

If the Fox Clan were powerful, their beauty would merely be a bonus.

But without their inheritance, each generation became weaker, and beauty became a disaster for the Fox Clan.

Over a thousand years, countless beautiful Fox Clan members were forcibly taken by other Demon Clans. Sometimes, encountering a great demon meant the Fox Clan had to painfully send their younger generation away to ensure the clan’s safety.

Powerful Demon Clans would even senselessly raid the Fox Clan, taking not only people but also possessions. Each raid brought significant losses to the Fox Clan.

For a thousand years, the Fox Clan suffered countless injustices, with many little fox fairies being taken away due to their beauty and losing their lives.

Thinking of these, the Elders were overwhelmed with sorrow.

But now, there is hope to regain their inheritance. With diligent cultivation, they will no longer be bullied in the future.

The Great Elder trembled as he was about to kneel to Anning.

Anning quickly helped him up. "What are you doing, Elder?"

While crying, the Great Elder said, "Young lady, what you’ve told us is a great kindness to our Fox Clan. This bow is something you deserve."

Anning helplessly smiled. "I have Fox Clan blood in my body too, otherwise I wouldn’t have activated the fragments. Since we are from the same clan, I naturally won’t just think of myself and ignore your life and death."

She thought for a moment. "Let me find a quiet place with the three Elders, and I’ll pass on the inheritance to you."

"Thank you."

The entire Fox Clan bowed to Anning.

Anning accepted their gratitude.

The three Elders deliberated and decided that the Third Elder should receive the inheritance, while the Great Elder and Second Elder, along with some strong fox fairies from the clan, would help protect it.

Anning followed the Elders to the council place.

She and the Third Elder went inside, while the Great Elder led a group of Fox Clan members to surround the council area.

After Anning and the Third Elder went in, they sat cross-legged, and Anning instructed the Third Elder to open his Divine Sense, gradually transferring the inheritance into his sea of consciousness.

Because the Fox Clan inheritance was extensive, it took quite a bit of time.

Anning continued the transfer for three days before handing the entire Fox Clan inheritance to the Third Elder.

When the two opened their eyes, the Third Elder knelt down and bowed to Anning, "Thank you, young lady."

Anning smiled and helped the Third Elder up. "Giving you the inheritance fulfills a wish of mine. I only hope that you will guide the clansmen, focus on cultivation, and have them do good deeds so that the Heavenly Dao might ease its constraints on the Fox Clan."

"Yes."

The Third Elder nodded with bowed head.

The inheritance Anning passed to the Third Elder had been modified.

Actually, parts of the Nine-tailed Fox’s inheritance were incorrect, and practicing them could lead to errors. Anning corrected the mistakes and optimized the cultivation methods, making it easier for the Fox Clan to cultivate and improve their cultivation faster.

After passing on the inheritance, Anning instructed Hu Sanniang on some matters and then descended the mountain.

After Anning left, the Third Elder announced, "Send the word out, let all the Fox Clan members abroad return quickly. Our Fox Clan inheritance has not been severed. Now that we’ve received the great demon inheritance, we must celebrate properly and encourage those with good aptitudes in the clan to intensify their cultivation, urging those wandering outside to return to the clan grounds to cultivate. Everything must give way to cultivation."

Anning didn’t concern herself with changes within the Fox Clan. She hurried to return home before nightfall.

Upon arriving, she saw Xiao Yuanzheng writing by the window.

She stepped over, glanced at his work, and Xiao Yuan finished the last few words while washing his hands and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

Anning shook her head.

Xiao Yuan then asked Yue Niang to set the table with the help of two maids.

Anning was truly hungry and quickly ate two large bowls of rice.

Xiao Yuan added a bowl of fish soup, which she also drank completely.

After dinner, Xiao Yuan said to Anning, "Your mother-in-law sent someone looking for you, saying your cousin from your second uncle’s family has returned and wants you to go back tomorrow to see her and reminisce."

Hearing this, Anning smiled, "Sister An Hui is back; I haven’t seen her in years."

Luo Anhui was the girl from the Luo family’s second branch, and she was a few years older than Anning. Still, An Hui had a good nature, and they played well together since childhood. Anning often followed after Anhui, calling her ’sister’; they were deeply attached. When An Hui got married, Anning secretly cried several times.

"I’ll take you back tomorrow."

Xiao Yuan handed Anning a wet handkerchief to wipe her hands while speaking to her, "Your cousin might stay for several days; if you miss her, you can stay at your parent’s home for a while. I’ll visit tomorrow evening."

"Alright."

Anning agreed with a smile.

She sat for a while before getting up to pay respects to Mr. Li and the Old Madam, mentioning her plans to return to her parent’s home the next day.

The Old Madam just said yes and encouraged Anning to stay longer.

That night, when Anning went to bed, she discovered some changes in her body.

She had integrated some Nine-tailed Fox blood, which made her body much stronger; in just a few days, her flexibility increased, her strength grew, and her senses became more acute.

Moreover, Anning noticed a more enchanting aura around her eyebrows, her figure improved, and her skin became whiter and softer.

Although the changes weren’t significant yet, over time, she feared becoming more alluring.

After bathing, Anning sighed deeply.

Xiao Yuan took a handkerchief and helped her dry her hair, "Why are you sighing?"

Anning turned around and hugged Xiao Yuan, "I don’t know what this body will turn into."

Xiao Yuan laughed, "Whatever you turn into, I like it. Don’t worry; no matter what you become, I can protect you."

Hearing this, Anning also laughed, her eyes twinkling enchantingly, making Xiao Yuan momentarily captivated. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The two of them spent a playful night together, and the next day Anning woke up a bit late.

After getting up, she had breakfast with the Old Madam, bringing gifts before taking the carriage to the Luo family with Xiao Yuan.

When Anning arrived, Luo Anqing was talking with Mrs. Luo. Seeing her return, they were both delighted.

Mrs. Luo took Anning’s hand and looked her over, "Your husband’s good to you, look at how healthy you look, and your skin’s becoming smoother."

Anning chuckled, "Yes, your son-in-law treats me well."

The mother and daughter sat down, while Xiao Yuan greeted Mrs. Luo and exchanged a few words with Luo Anqing before leaving.

After Xiao Yuan left, Mrs. Luo conversed with Anning.

"An Hui has had a tough life."

Mrs. Luo whispered to Anning, "She’s been married for several years, has given birth to three children, all daughters. Now, the Xu family is causing a fuss about taking a concubine. Just the other day, they brought in a concubine, claiming they are waiting for a son..."
