Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"Once you regain your true form, you'll know whether you're male or female. Anyway, all demons revert to their original form when they give birth, so the sex of their original form cannot be changed. As for human form, that's purely a characteristic of the fox clan. For example, the Fox King is actually a male fox, and she has a group of female fox consorts," the Heavenly Fox Fairy said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun was dumbfounded, thinking to himself, "Is this how it works?"

"Alright, Miss Ye, a junior from the fox clan will be here to fetch you soon. Why don't you travel around Qingqiu Kingdom for a while and get to know the current generation of fox clan prodigies? You'll be attending the Demon Clan Prodigy Conference with them, so getting to know them beforehand is a good thing," the Nine-Tailed Demon God suggested.

Ye Liuyun nodded, and then took the opportunity to comprehend his newly acquired abilities. The Heavenly Fox bloodline had too many abilities for Ye Liuyun to fully grasp in a short time.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Goddess watched as Ye Liuyun suddenly sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes in deep thought, and couldn't help but sigh again, because she desperately wanted the person in front of her to stay in the Fox Clan.

"Alright, stop sighing. It's better to have hope than no hope at all. As long as she carries the bloodline of the Celestial Fox, she is destined to have an inseparable relationship with our fox clan," the Celestial Fox Fairy comforted her.

Time passed slowly, and about ten minutes later, the Fox King's message arrived, saying that she had found someone to receive her.

The Nine-Tailed Demon God immediately sent Ye Liuyun out of the forbidden area. At the entrance of the forbidden area, there was a very pretty girl in a red dress waiting. The girl was very beautiful. Foxes can tell which clan someone belongs to just by their appearance. This girl must be a Red Fox.

The girl paced back and forth at the entrance to the forbidden area when suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere in front of her.

Upon seeing Ye Liuyun, the young girl immediately stepped forward excitedly to greet him.

"Hello, Sister Bai Miao. I am Hong Xiyu, a princess of the Fox Clan. My father asked me to accompany you around Qingqiu Kingdom for a while, and to introduce you to the other prodigies of the Fox Clan." The girl greeted Ye Liuyun politely as she approached him.

Ye Liuyun looked at the playful girl in front of him and smiled.

"Oh, Princess Xiyu, hello. I'll be leaving things in your care for the time being," Ye Liuyun said politely.

Seeing Ye Liuyun being so polite, Hong Xiyu quickly said...

"Sister Bai, you don't need to be so polite to me. Although I am a princess, you have the bloodline of a nine-tailed fox, while I only have the bloodline of a seven-tailed fox. The fox clan determines status based on bloodline. Just call me Xiyu."

Ye Liuyun naturally wouldn't get entangled with Hong Xiyu over this matter.

"Well, alright then, let's do as you wish, Sister Xiyu. Let's go, show me the scenery of Qingqiu Kingdom." Ye Liuyun smiled faintly.

Hong Xiyu smiled sweetly, then happily led Ye Liuyun away from the outer perimeter of the forbidden area. The Fox Clan's forbidden area was located in a separate space within the royal palace.

Led by Hong Xiyu, Ye Liuyun broke through a spatial barrier and entered a magnificent palace.

The fox clan has a very specific aesthetic sense; whether male or female, they are basically the same.

“Sister Bai Miao, this is the royal palace of our Qingqiu Kingdom. The spatial gate behind you leads to the forbidden area of ​​the Fox Clan, which is where our Ancestor resides.” As soon as they stepped out, Hong Xiyu explained.

Just as they were about to leave the palace, the Fox King appeared.

"Xiyu, you must treat Miss Bai Miao well. If you fail to entertain her properly, don't blame me for punishing you," the Fox King said sternly.

Hong Xiyu quickly and respectfully bowed to the Fox King. Beside the Fox King was a beautiful fox demon dressed in a black gauze dress, who appeared to be from the Black Fox clan.

This fox demon is Queen Mo Xin, the queen of the Fox King.

"Father, Mother, I will definitely take good care of Sister Bai Miao, please rest assured," Hong Xiyu assured her.

Ye Liuyun quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Senior Fox King, you don't need to be so serious. I think it's better to be more casual. Eh, who is this senior?" Ye Liuyun said to the Fox King first, and then turned his gaze to the Queen.

Queen Black Fox quickly and politely bowed.

"Miss Bai, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Mo Xin, the Queen of the Fox Clan."

Upon learning the other party's identity, Ye Liuyun immediately bowed. To be honest, Ye Liuyun really needed to get used to this characteristic of the fox clan. This fox king didn't look like a man at all; his appearance and temperament were even more charming and captivating than the queen's.

"Oh, this junior greets the Queen."

The queen simply smiled faintly and didn't say much.

The Fox King and Queen didn't linger for long. After exchanging a few words, they let Ye Liuyun and Hong Xiyu leave for the forbidden palace.

After the two left, the Fox King couldn't help but stroke his chin.

"Madam, do you think this Bai Miao girl is male or female in her true form?" the Fox King asked with a face full of curiosity.

Because foxes do not reveal their true forms, it is impossible to determine their gender.

"What, do you have some ideas?" the Queen asked with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

“That’s for sure. Bai Miao is a native fox clan of the Burial God Star, not from our Qingqiu Kingdom, and she has no intention of joining our Qingqiu Kingdom. She has the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox. If she can stay in the fox clan, it will be beneficial to our fox clan.” The Fox King said.

The Queen sighed softly.

"Both Bai Bing and Bai Miao were discovered by our ancestor from the native fox clan of the Burial God Star. If they happen to be a couple, I reckon our ancestor would try his best to bring them together, since they are both white foxes," the Queen said, expressing her opinion.

These words reminded the Fox King.

"Eh? That's true. Ah, the nine-tailed bloodline, I'm so envious." The Fox King sighed as he watched Ye Liuyun's departing figure.

Chapter 755 Getting to Know the Fox Clan (5000 words)

After Ye Liuyun and Hong Xiyu walked out of the palace leading to the forbidden area, they chatted and laughed all the way. Ye Liuyun seemed very easygoing, not at all like those cultivators of the demon race with high blood purity. Therefore, Hong Xiyu had a very good first impression of Ye Liuyun, feeling that he was even more low-key than her brothers and sisters.

In the world of demons, status is obvious and irreversible. Even as an elder, if your bloodline purity is low, a junior with high bloodline purity will give you face as a sign of respect, and if they don't, that's perfectly reasonable.

They first wandered around the vast Fox King's Palace. Although the Fox Clan's palace was not as large as that of the human Clan, it was far more luxurious than the imperial palaces of the human world. Every tile and every brick on the ground in this palace would be a valuable material for crafting magical artifacts in the human world.

There's no way around it; in the eyes of the demon race, those things are nothing more than broken stones. The main reason is that the demon race neither refines weapons nor medicines; they simply swallow medicinal herbs directly. So, what humans consider treasures are, in their eyes, useless things.

Hong Xiyu also told Ye Liuyun a lot of information about the fox clan, such as how many powerful figures there are in the fox clan today, or the fox clan's status in the entire demon race, how many branches there are within the fox clan, the power structure, and so on.

Ye Liuyun listened attentively; it was necessary to remember this information.

As for where Bai Bing is now? According to Hong Xiyu, Bai Bing is breaking through to the late stage of the Nirvana Realm and has been in seclusion. Moreover, given her age, she shouldn't be able to participate in the Demon Clan's Prodigy Tournament.

They finally arrived at the training grounds of the royal family members in the palace. Although the cultivation methods of the demon race are different from those of the human race, combat power still requires practical training, which is not much different from humans.

Furthermore, the status of the fox clan's royalty is determined by the purity of their bloodline. Those with more than four tails are considered royalty, while those with fewer than four tails are ordinary fox clan members. The number of tails a fox has is equivalent to their rank within the fox clan.

The royal family's training ground in the palace was a very beautiful flower-shaped palace. It was very large, with a sparring arena in the center and viewing areas all around.

"Eh? Sister Xiyu, where is this place? It feels quite different from other places." Ye Liuyun stopped when he saw the palace.

Hong Xiyu hadn't originally intended to stay there, but Ye Liuyun spoke up, and she stopped, revealing a worried expression.

"Eh? Sister Bai Miao, this is where our royal family members train and spar. Most of my older brothers and sisters should be here right now. There's nothing special about this place. Let's go and look around elsewhere," Hong Xiyu said with a slight smile.

However, Ye Liuyun was already quite interested in the fighting style of the fox clan. Although she had obtained the power of the Heavenly Fox, she was not yet very proficient in using these techniques. She hoped to quickly absorb the power she had gained by watching other fox clan cultivators fight.

Ye Liuyun had already sensed the powerful energy fluctuations inside.

"Are they also going to participate in the gathering of the demon race's prodigies?" Ye Liuyun asked, looking at the palace.

Hong Xiyu immediately smiled slightly.

"The Demon Clan's Prodigy Tournament has age and cultivation level restrictions. Participants cannot be over six thousand years old and their cultivation level cannot reach the Nirvana level. Among my older brothers and sisters, not many currently meet the standards," Hong Xiyu explained.

Six thousand years old is considered old among humans, since even a Heavenly Abyss expert can only live for ten thousand years. However, among demons, it is only considered young.

"Then you must be one of them, right?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

Hong Xiyu nodded first, then shook her head.

"Me? My age and cultivation level meet the requirements, but this time, each clan only has ten spots in the Heavenly Pride Tournament. Others' cultivation levels are too low. I'm only at the early stage of the Transformation Realm. My clan didn't arrange for me to participate this time. I can only go and watch." Hong Xiyu pouted, clearly somewhat unconvinced when Ye Liuyun asked this question. Obviously, she wanted to participate, but there must be a limit to the number of spots available for each clan in the Heavenly Pride Tournament, and only the strongest fox clan members could participate.

"Huh? Your cultivation level is still low. For your age, it's already quite good, okay?" Ye Liuyun was speechless.

Hong Xiyu is less than three thousand years old. In the demon race, three thousand years old is just the beginning of adulthood. Therefore, Hong Xiyu is currently equivalent to a human cultivator under sixteen years old. If a human can cultivate to the Dao Palace Secret Realm at the age of sixteen, he is already considered a genius. Most humans are about the same age as Hong Xiyu. It is estimated that only some disciples of top forces can reach the Transformation Mystic Realm at around a thousand years old.

"No, it would be fine if there were no quota restrictions, but the Dragon Clan only gave each clan ten places, so I can't participate. Alright, Sister Bai Miao, let's go out of the palace and take a look." With that, Hong Xiyu was about to lead Ye Liuyun away from here.

But Ye Liuyun still wanted to go in and take a look.

"Aren't you going to take me inside to have a look?" Ye Liuyun asked doubtfully.

Hong Xiyu was clearly embarrassed when she heard this.

"This? Sister Bai Miao, I think it's better not to go. Last time, Sister Bai Bing, who has the bloodline of nine tails, was defeated by them as soon as she arrived in the fox clan." Hong Xiyu didn't really want Ye Liuyun to see her brothers and sisters.

Because the demon race considers not only status but also actual combat strength. If you have high bloodline purity but still can't beat someone with low bloodline purity, you'll only become the object of ridicule.

Ye Liuyun became interested upon hearing this.

"Huh? Doesn't your fox clan determine status based on bloodline purity? Do you think your brothers and sisters would dare to bully her?" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask.

Hong Xiyu quickly looked around, then whispered in Ye Liuyun's ear to explain.

"That's true, but status is status and combat power is combat power. Although Sister Bai Bing has the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox, she is a native fox clan of the Burial God Star and has not received particularly good training. If it really comes down to a fight, it will be difficult for her to defeat my powerful brothers and sisters."

After careful analysis, Ye Liuyun realized that this was indeed true. Fox demons living in the fox clan of Qingqiu Kingdom must have received careful guidance from their elders and a large supply of cultivation materials.

Bai Bing certainly wouldn't receive this kind of treatment on the Burial God Star.

"So, Bai Bing lost to one of your older brothers or sisters?" Ye Liuyun asked quickly.

Hong Xiyu nodded.

“She was easily defeated by my sixth sister, who was the same age as her,” Hong Xiyu said.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback. In her memory, Bai Bing was not that weak.

“However, after cultivating in the fox clan for hundreds of years, Sister Bai Bing is practically invincible among her peers,” Hong Xiyu quickly added.

Although Bai Bing was easily defeated by Hong Xiyu's sixth sister when she first arrived, it wasn't long before, under the tutelage of the Nine-Tailed Demon God, Bai Bing quickly mastered various secret techniques of the fox clan and maximized the development of her bloodline.

In Hong Xiyu's eyes, Ye Liuyun had only just obtained the Nine-Tailed Bloodline and should not have fully mastered the power of this bloodline level. Moreover, Ye Liuyun was going to represent the Fox Clan to participate in the Dragon Clan's Gathering of Prodigies, so he was bound to take a spot from his previous participation.

She felt that Ye Liuyun would definitely be harassed if he went to see her brothers and sisters at this time.

"Hehe, you're not afraid I'll be bullied by them, are you? That's why you don't want to take me to see what it's like. Didn't Senior Fox King say that I should get to know the other contestants?" Ye Liuyun laughed.

"Well? That's true, but I don't think it's appropriate to meet in this setting. If they really challenge you or make things difficult for you, the guards will blame me for not being hospitable enough," Hong Xiyu said with a mournful face.

Seeing Hong Xiyu's pitiful appearance, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but raise his hand and rub her little head. Hong Xiyu looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, a little girl with a good figure.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We'll have to meet sooner or later. I believe they already know I'm here in the Fox Clan, and I bet many of them are talking about me right now," Ye Liuyun said.

Indeed, at this moment in the palace, a group of beautiful women dressed in colorful clothes were watching the battle and talking about Ye Liuyun.

"Damn it! Are the Nine-Tailed Bloodline free now? How come another one has appeared? My father actually wants to give my competition spot to that Bai Miao. I'm so angry! I've been preparing for months!" A fox demon dressed in blue angrily slammed her wine cup on the table.

This fox demon is Qinglan, Hong Xiyu's seventh brother. Those sitting around him are either members of other branches of the fox clan or direct descendants of the royal family. The birth of a fox is random; a fox born from two red foxes is not necessarily a red fox, but could be a fox of another color.

“What can we do? If Sister Bai Bing can’t participate, then our fox clan doesn’t even have an eight-tailed bloodline to offer. Our fox clan is a major clan among the demon races. If we can’t even produce a top-tier bloodline, wouldn’t that be equivalent to telling other races that we have no successors?” Another fox demon dressed in golden clothes said helplessly.

The fox clan members present all understood this principle. The so-called Heavenly Pride Gathering was an event to show off to other clans. Moreover, they already knew that other major clans would send their outstanding young disciples to participate. In any case, apart from their fox clan, the other major clans all had top-tier bloodlines.

"That's what they say, but I'm still not convinced. Having a high bloodline doesn't necessarily mean you're powerful. If this guy named Bai Miao appeared in front of me, I would definitely be able to defeat her as easily as Sixth Sister defeated Bai Bing back then," Qinglan said confidently.

Just as Qinglan was grumbling, two figures slowly walked into the palace gate. They were Ye Liuyun and Hong Xiyu.

"Haha, this place is really nice." Ye Liuyun stood at the palace entrance, watching the two fox demons fighting on the platform, and immediately laughed.

The two fox demons on the stage displayed dazzling skills, using various illusions to confuse their enemies and displaying a dazzling array of demonic power. It didn't feel like they were fighting; it was more like they were performing a duet.

"Hmm?" As soon as Ye Liuyun spoke, the fox clan members who were watching the battle immediately turned their attention to the entrance.

When they saw a stranger standing next to Hong Xiyu, they all stood up. They knew that the Fox King had asked Hong Xiyu to entertain Ye Liuyun.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became oppressive after Ye Liuyun arrived. Two fox clan disciples who were fighting on the platform immediately stopped fighting and looked in the direction of everyone's gaze after noticing that something was wrong with the atmosphere around them.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the palace was not good, Hong Xiyu immediately became nervous.

"Sister Bai Miao, I think we should leave," Hong Xiyu said softly, tugging at Ye Liuyun's clothes.

But since Ye Liuyun has come, he certainly won't just leave like that.

Despite being watched by so many people, Ye Liuyun remained completely unfazed.

"Greetings, fellow cultivators of the Fox Clan! I am Bai Miao, and I have just arrived in Qingqiu Kingdom. Please take good care of me," Ye Liuyun introduced himself with a smile.

Having finished speaking, in order to prove his identity, Ye Liuyun released a small amount of his Nine-Tailed Power. After the fox clan members sensed the oppressive aura of his bloodline, they were completely certain of Ye Liuyun's identity.

Although many fox clan members present had higher cultivation levels than Ye Liuyun, there were quite a few cultivators from the Nirvana Secret Realm here.

The fox clan members looked at each other, and finally a beautiful fox demon dressed in a white dress with a rather aloof temperament teleported from the stands directly in front of the gate to Ye Liuyun.

This fox demon is definitely a Nirvana cultivator, and its cultivation level is roughly in the late Nirvana Realm.

Upon her arrival, Hong Xiyu immediately bowed to her.

"Big brother," Hong Xiyu called out.

Indeed, this aloof and beautiful fox demon is Hong Xiyu's brother, and also the crown prince of Qingqiu Kingdom. Her name is Bai Lian. She is an eight-tailed fox and is considered to be the most talented among the descendants of the Fox King.

"Hello, Sister Bai Miao, I am Bai Lian. Welcome to Qingqiu Kingdom. I also welcome you to represent our fox clan at the Demon Clan's Gathering of Prodigies." Bai Lian said softly with a smile.

To be honest, Ye Liuyun really couldn't understand the fox clan's gender division. She was clearly a super beauty, but she was a bear fox. Ye Liuyun really couldn't regard the fox prince in front of him as a member of the opposite sex.

The main thing is that the other person's words and actions, and her appearance, are all those of a woman, and a rather alluring one at that.
