Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

In every sense, Li Qiye has now become a taboo subject for all the major super powers. The Vermilion Bird Saintess knows this too.

If we really offended the tenth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially over such trivial matters...

If the Vermilion Bird Clan finds out, even if she is a saintess, she will have to bow down, or her saintess status will be revoked.

Why is that?

The Vermilion Bird Saintess stared intently at Li Qiye, her heart filled with boundless rage. If the girl before her were a human or a member of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she would not have felt such fury.

Unfortunately, the other party was from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, an ancient royal family of their myriad races, not a human.

Li Qiye's protection of her was so great that he was willing to become her enemy.

The Vermilion Bird Saintess was filled with confusion.

However, he quickly realized a possibility: Li Qiye was protecting the girl from the Nine-Tailed Fox clan in order to win over the Nine-Tailed Fox clan.

They want to bring the Nine-Tailed Fox clan under their control; this is a gesture of goodwill towards the Nine-Tailed Fox clan!

For the sake of a nine-tailed fox spirit girl, he was willing to offend the Vermilion Bird Clan and even threaten them.

Thinking about all this, the Vermilion Bird Saintess felt that this was very likely, it must be so!

"It is said that the Great Zhou Dynasty wants to win over the Nine-Tailed Demon Clan!"

The Vermilion Bird Saintess's eyes flickered, and she said meaningfully, "I didn't believe these things before, but now the Tenth Prince's actions have forced me to believe them."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd was startled. They felt that this made a lot of sense. It was unnecessary for the Tenth Prince of the Great Zhou to offend the Vermilion Bird Saintess for the sake of a nine-tailed fox demon girl. It didn't seem worth it at all. Moreover, this nine-tailed fox demon girl didn't seem to be particularly outstanding. If it were the legendary Fox Moon, they could understand. Could the rumors be true?

Such rumors have always existed, but few people believe them. After all, humans and demons are enemies, and it is possible for them to join forces or form an alliance. This has never happened before in history.

Apart from the time when the Eternal Emperor joined forces with a powerful force to annihilate the Heavenly Demon Realm, such a thing has never happened before.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Saintess Suzaku, you are framing our Nine-Tailed Fox clan."

At this moment, Hu Yueyue suddenly felt a pang in her heart. Her gaze was like an arrow as she stared intently at the Vermilion Bird Saintess and the others. They did indeed have such thoughts, but because of their race, and the fact that joining the Great Zhou Dynasty would leave them with no way out, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had never considered this issue. The price they would have to pay was too high, and it would be difficult for the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to protect themselves in the future.

The saying goes, "One wrong step leads to a series of wrong steps."

Once such a choice is made, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan will have no room to survive among the myriad races.

If humans suppress them, the Nine-Tailed Fox clan will be completely driven to the brink of extinction.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had naturally given this matter considerable thought, considering all aspects, and thus had never shown goodwill towards the Great Zhou Dynasty, nor had they ever discussed this matter. However, now that this incident had occurred, the situation was different. As the saying goes, rumors can be extremely damaging, and rumors can be more damaging than anything else. Once this news spread, the ancient royal families among the myriad races would certainly become suspicious, making it difficult for the entire Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to remain unscathed. The ancient royal families would also exert pressure, forcing them to make a choice.

"This Vermilion Bird Saintess is truly treacherous."

A surge of anger rose within Fox Moon Moon.

If it weren't for the Vermilion Bird Saintess saying those words, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan would still be able to feign compliance with the myriad races and maneuver around them.

However, the Vermilion Bird Saintess's words forced the Nine-Tailed Fox clan to make a choice, leaving them no longer able to remain unaffected. Furthermore, Li Qiye's subsequent response would also influence the Nine-Tailed Fox clan's future trajectory. If they were willing to accept, there might still be a way out; otherwise, they would have no choice but to submit to the ancient royal alliance of all races.

To be honest, Yueyue preferred the Great Zhou Dynasty to the other two choices because it was stronger than the Ancient Royal Alliance of Ten Thousand Races in every aspect.

However, due to racial reasons, there were also concerns that the Great Zhou Dynasty would suppress the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan in the future. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Li Qiye, waiting for his answer, because Li Qiye's answer was too important. In a sense, it represented the attitude of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which would affect the overall pattern of the Human Alliance and even the changes in the situation of the Nine Netherworld.

"Although I don't know where your rumor came from, I don't mind if the Nine-Tailed Fox joins our Great Zhou Dynasty."

Li Qiye smiled calmly and said, "Of course, if the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan really joins us, we will thank you in the future."

"After all, it was you, the Vermilion Bird Saintess, who facilitated this, pushing the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan into our camp."

Although he didn't know whether the Vermilion Bird Saintess had considered that he thought saving the nine-tailed fox girl was an attempt to win over the nine-tailed fox clan.

Of course, he did have this idea, but he needed a suitable opportunity.

Clearly, the Vermilion Bird Saintess had given him this opportunity, so how could Li Qiye possibly miss it?

As for whether the Vermilion Bird Saintess suffered a setback here and wanted to vent her anger on the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Li Qiye had no idea.

He wouldn't care about this place at all, because the Vermilion Bird Saintess's actions were exactly in line with her style.

However, Li Qiye also took this opportunity to express his attitude: their Great Zhou Dynasty was willing to accept the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, which was enough to give the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan owners time to consider.

Moreover, they invisibly and forcibly pulled the Nine-Tailed Fox clan towards their Great Zhou Dynasty.

Li Qiye really wanted to reward the Vermilion Bird Saintess; she truly was a born actress!

At this moment, the Vermilion Bird Saintess seemed to realize what was happening, and her expression turned ugly.

Especially when she saw the smile on Li Qiye's face, she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.

If the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan joined the Great Zhou Dynasty because of those rumors, probably very few people would believe it.

Moreover, even the Nine-Tailed Fox clan dared not overstep their bounds, but it was different when she said it.

Furthermore, Li Qiye's acceptance of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan inadvertently gave them a significant alternative.

Looking at the whole incident, not only was the Vermilion Bird Saintess's divine stone stolen by a girl from the Nine-Tailed Fox clan for no reason, but...

Moreover, it was a divine stone that seemed utterly worthless to the eye, yet the Vermilion Bird Saintess personally intervened, which made others wonder.

Is this a warning or a suppression of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan by the ancient royal alliance of all races?

If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have stood up to fight for this divine stone.

At this moment, she felt a little regretful. Why had she acted so impulsively?
She wasn't stupid to begin with, and now she immediately understood that she had acted rather impulsively just now.

However, she hadn't expected Li Qiye to be here. If she had known, she definitely wouldn't have stood up for him.

Fox Moon Moon was the same; her eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was thinking. (End of Chapter)
