King of Creation Chapter 1940 - 1925: Scarlet Tiger King Token
Previously on King of Creation...
The three words Ye Chiling, like rolling thunder, surged back and forth in Ye Zhen’s mind, causing him to instantly think of a shocking possibility.
Not a shocking possibility, but a shocking fact!
It was at this moment that Ye Zhen finally understood why he always had a feeling of having seen Chi Ling’er somewhere before when he looked at her.
Before this, Ye Zhen had never actually seen Chi Ling’er, but Chi Ling’er was Ye Zhen’s daughter, and seven-tenths of her features resembled Ye Zhen, which is why Ye Zhen felt familiar but could not remember where he had seen her.
Ye Zhen clearly sensed a shadow of himself in Chi Ling’er.
Remembering back in the Ten Thousand Beast Hall on the True Profound Continent, Ye Zhen and Hu Qingtong became husband and wife because of the Green and Red Female and Male Boas’ poison.
So having Chi Ling’er was a very natural thing.
The only thing Ye Zhen was puzzled about was that back when he left the True Profound Continent, over two years had passed since he and Hu Qingtong had become husband and wife. When he left, he did not see Hu Qingtong leaving with a child.
However, these things were not something Ye Zhen could dwell on; he could now be certain that Ye Chiling was his and Hu Qingtong’s child.
At the same time, he also understood Xuan Hu’s well-intentioned efforts.
Xuan Hu had previously emphasized multiple times that Ye Zhen must first meet Hu Qingtong before thinking about ways to save her.
That’s because Xuan Hu and the others already knew that Hu Qingtong’s child, Ye Chiling, was Ye Zhen’s, hence their desperate insistence that Ye Zhen come to find Hu Qingtong first.
Everything was clear now!
At this moment, Ye Zhen felt an immense sense of guilt.
Back on the True Profound Continent, when the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba and Hu Qingtong came to assist in battle, Sunx Ba had once told Ye Zhen to visit Hu Qingtong if he had the time.
Ye Zhen hadn’t thought much of it at the time, and later on, when he went to the Devil God Palace, Hu Qingtong avoided seeing him, leaving Ye Zhen unconcerned.
In fact, at that time, whether it was Xuan Hu, Sunx Ba, or Zhu Hong, they already knew that the child in Hu Qingtong’s womb was Ye Zhen’s.
That’s why there were those extra reminders.
However, Ye Zhen had been unaware all along.
Now, Ye Zhen had even recalled the origin of Chi Ling’er’s name!
At this moment, Ye Zhen practically hated himself, for realizing things so late.
Looking at Hu Qingtong’s current situation, it seemed that her days in Qingqiu weren’t going well, which must be why Xuan Hu had insisted that Ye Zhen come to find Hu Qingtong first.
Over these years, Hu Qingtong and Chi Ling’er had suffered.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhen’s eyes became somewhat red.
Ye Zhen was completely immersed in shock and forgot about the situation outside.
Hu Qingtong’s scolding voice startled Ye Zhen awake.
"Stop it, who dares to touch my child!" Hu Qingtong’s apricot eyes were wide open, shielding Chi Ling’er, while behind her, a massive floating phantom of a Green Fox loomed.
Hu Qingtong, being so clever, clearly saw through Elder Hu’s treacherous plan, which is why she lost her temper.
Seeing this, Hu Buding coldly laughed under his breath, "Very well, openly defying this elder’s order, do you think the laws of the Qingqiu Fox Clan are mere decorations?"
"Someone, take them down!"
"Hold on!"
This time, it was Ye Zhen who spoke.
As he spoke, Ye Zhen had already resolutely shielded Hu Qingtong.
Seeing Ye Zhen’s stance, Hu Buding’s eyes gleamed with a sinister smile, "Very well, Hu Qingtong colludes with the Foreign Clan, injures clan members, and openly defies the law. Someone, take them down, and if they resist, their lives won’t matter!"
"Tu Xi, should they resist, it’s up to you, this time’s Dao Realm duties are now public affairs, capturing them is your responsibility." Hu Buding suddenly addressed the Dao Realm on duty in the sky, Tu Xi.
Tu Xi, who had revealed himself, wore a silent expression and after a few breaths, said to Hu Qingtong, "Qingtong, I advise you not to resist, your matter will naturally be judged by the elders personally."
"You can confine me, but if you try to separate us mothers and daughters..."
As she spoke, Ye Zhen gently placed a finger on Hu Qingtong’s lips, silencing her, "Qingtong, let me handle the matters here."
"You..."
Hu Qingtong appeared hesitant and worried.
She could tell that Ye Zhen certainly had some strength, but this was the territory of the Fox Clan.
No Demon Race member would tolerate a Human Clan, causing trouble on their territory, it was absolutely unacceptable.
But seeing Ye Zhen’s resolute and determined eyes, and the immense confidence within them, Hu Qingtong suddenly relented.
Gently nodding her head, she pulled Chi Ling’er and stood completely behind Ye Zhen.
With Hu Qingtong’s intelligence, she could see that Ye Zhen had probably thought of something by his reaction.
"You, a member of the Foreign Clan, still wish to comment on my clan’s internal issues?" Hu Buding coldly scoffed.
"Nothing is impossible!"
Ye Zhen casually snapped his fingers, his gaze directed at the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.
The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, who had its big head buried in the cleavage of Hur Chimei, upon hearing Ye Zhen’s snap, scratched the face of Hur Chimei lightly, then let out a few low growls towards Hur Chimei.
Previously, Ye Zhen’s plan was to resolve the situation by the most violent means if necessary, but now that the safety of Hu Qingtong and Chi Ling’er was involved, Ye Zhen dared not take risks and could only resolve it using another method.
Hur Chimei quickly exchanged a few words with the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten and then unexpectedly produced a red tiger head token, revealing her identity.
"The Red Tiger King Token?" Hu Buding’s expression subtly shifted as he looked at the token, then regarded Hur Chimei with surprise before his expression turned grim. He hadn’t expected the young girl by Ye Zhen’s side to be the Princess Chimei of the Red Tiger King.
"Princess Chimei, neither the Red Tiger King nor your majesty is something we wish to offend! However, just this token alone is insufficient to interfere in my Fox Clan’s internal affairs!" Hu Buding set a soft obstacle for Hur Chimei.
The Tiger Clan is powerful, but not yet powerful enough to interfere with other Demon Clans’ affairs with just a token.
"Is it still not enough?"
Hur Chimei naturally scoffed disdainfully, tossing out a Talisman Communication effortlessly.
The Talisman Communication soared into the sky and then promptly fell into the various hills of Tu Mountain.
Hu Buding clearly saw that Hur Chimei’s Talisman Communication went straight into the highest and largest hill at the center of Tu Mountain—the location of the Qingqiu Ancestral Tomb, Qingqiu Palace.
Permanent residents of the Qingqiu Palace, besides the two surnamed Grand Elders of the Fox Clan, were only a few Supreme Elders of their Qingqiu Fox Clan!
A few moments later, a streak of light darted out from the Qingqiu Ancestral Tomb’s Qingqiu Palace, swiftly approaching.
Before the light arrived, a hearty laugh was heard from afar, "Chi Mei little one, what wind has blown you here? You actually remembered to visit this old man."
Instantly, Hu Buding’s expression drastically changed.
Because this was the voice of the Fox Clan—Supreme Third Elder!
