Protect Our Clan Leader

Wang Shouzhe hurriedly reached out to embrace it.

The tiny Firefox was rubbing against Wang Shouzhe's chest blissfully, cooing in a delicate voice, "That little mud loach is so bad, L-girl only hit it a few times and it burrowed into the mud and refused to come out."

Hide in the mud?

A twitch crossed the corner of Wang Shouzhe's mouth.

This Green Jiao really had no dignity; now it truly had reduced itself to a mud loach.

The poor Green Jiao, on the verge of transforming into a dragon, was quite keen of hearing, wasn't it?

Hidden in the mud, it listened to the Seven-tailed Firefox's complaints and almost burst its lungs in anger. If I could beat you, you fox, would I need to hide in the mud?

Its heart was filled with despondency. It had found an opportunity at last but hadn't even enjoyed it before facing this disaster.

Rage, unstoppable rage!

The Green Jiao couldn't endure it any longer.

It burst out of the mud suddenly, and with a sweep of its tail, it forcibly pulled out the huge Pearl Clam nurturing the Pearl Grass, then soared into the air like a spiraling dragon, hovering and roaring at Wang Shouzhe with gnashing teeth, "Aooow, aooow~ aoow aoow~!"

"Oh, beaten to such a state and still such a temper, daring to howl at me," Wang Shouzhe shook his head, "Little Fire, finish it quickly but be careful not to roast it."

"Aooow, aoow ooow~!" The Green Jiao was frantic, roaring again and again.

"Brother Shouzhe, it wants to surrender," the Old Firefox ancestor patted her forehead with a paw, a face of disbelief, "Even as a Jiaolong, it has no dignity at all."

"Surrender?" Wang Shouzhe looked at the Green Jiao with surprise, amused by it, "Little mud loach, stop messing around. With you being a wild Fierce Beast, what use do I have for you? Your greatest value, is to turn into a pile of meat to nourish the children of the Wang family."

"Aooow, aoow ooow~" The Green Jiao was so distressed, continuously roaring for quite some time.

"Brother Shouzhe, Little mud loach says, if you let it off, this big clamshell will belong to us," the Old Firefox ancestor lay in Wang Shouzhe's arms, cooing girlishly while translating, "It says there's a Pearl Grass inside that's nearly ripe."

"Pearl Grass?" Wang Shouzhe nodded in realization, "I never expected there to be such a treasure hidden in this little marsh. No wonder this Green Jiao ventured into such shallow waters."

"Brother Shouzhe, does that mean we have a deal?" the Old Firefox ancestor tilted her head to look at Wang Shouzhe, "Pearl Grass is a rare Level Six Spiritual Medicine, one of the main ingredients for refining Spirit Communication Treasure Pills, much more valuable than its meat."

"It's not that simple," Wang Shouzhe shook his head, "The Pearl Grass originally is a treasure of this marsh, I could obtain it just as well after killing it. How could it use my own treasure to exchange for its freedom?"

The Old Firefox ancestor's fox eyes squinted into a slit as she smiled, "Brother Shouzhe, you make such good points."

Then, she turned to the Green Jiao, and with a Loli tone, spoke condescendingly, "Big mud loach, you heard what Brother Shouzhe said, right? Besides this big clamshell, do you have any other treasures to exchange for your life?"

The Green Jiao almost collapsed into the water in frustration, roaring incessantly.

"If you dare curse again, I'll burn you to death," the Old Firefox ancestor stated angrily.

...

...

At these words, the Green Jiao instantly cowered, its head retracted, seeming a bit wronged and slightly rebellious, quietly grumbling in a low voice.

By the time a Fierce Beast reaches the pinnacle of Level Six, its intelligence is already extraordinary. To some extent, it begins to break away from the "beastial" constraints, becoming more akin to the human race.

However, due to the simple living environment of Fierce Beasts and their lack of comprehensive experience, their exhibited behavior is more akin to that of human children aged around eight or nine.

Only upon breaking through to Level Seven and transforming into a Great Yao, does their lifespan and intelligence surge yet again. After being "tempered" for a few hundred years, they can finally "mature."

Just like the Old Firefox ancestor, though already a Level Seven Great Yao, sometimes she still acts quite childishly.

"Brother Shouzhe~~ I think this little mud loach is quite clever and its bloodline is decent. Why not give it a chance to join our Wang family?" the Old Firefox ancestor suggested.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhe was slightly hesitant, "It is, after all, a Fierce Beast that has grown up in foreign lands; its wild nature is not yet shed. Could it easily turn on us?"

"Just relax, Brother Shouzhe. If it were another Fierce Beast, it might be a bit tricky, but since it's a Jiaolong, it's simple," the Seven-tailed Firefox patted her chest, assuring him, "Let it swear by the name of the Ancestor Dragon, and then leave it to me to train. I'll make sure it obeys and acts on command."

Hearing her words, Wang Shouzhe also felt tempted.

Honestly speaking, everything in the Wang family was quite good, and there were plenty of high-end forces in the Heavenly Human Realm, but they only lacked a true Purple Abode Realm force that truly belonged to the Wang family.

The Old Firefox ancestor was strong and had always helped Wang Shouzhe. But when it gets down to it, she remained the Yuwen Clan's Clan Guardian Spirit Beast, spending most of her time with the Yuwen Clan.

It was okay for the Wang family to borrow her occasionally since the Yuwen Clan didn't dare defy the Old Firefox ancestor. But if they really wanted to make the Old Firefox ancestor a part of the Wang family, the entire Yuwen Clan would likely fight against Wang Shouzhe.

Especially Lady Bilian, who was not an easy person to deal with.

However, cultivating a Clan Guardian Spirit Beast usually requires starting from a lower level. Because only in this way can the affection between the Fierce Beast and the family be deep enough to motivate it to actively protect the family.
