Su Qinglan held the fluffy little fox cub tightly in her arms, looking at the stunned elders of Fox Beast City with a completely innocent and gentle smile.
She cleared her throat softly, blinking her beautiful eyes as she put on a perfect show of confusion.
"Elders," Su Qinglan spoke up, her voice sweet and filled with fake bewilderment.
"I am the mother of this little fellow. Why... why are you all praising my cub so loudly? Did he do something wrong?"
She turned her head slightly, looking down at the little fox cub in her embrace with a stern but fake expression. "Ciao Ciao, tell Mother the truth. Did you bully these honorable elders just now?"
She then quickly looked back at the crowd, bowing her head slightly in an apologetic manner. "I am so sorry if my son caused you any trouble. He is still very young and doesn’t know any better."
The elders were completely flustered by her sudden politeness. They hurriedly clustered together, stepping forward in front of her with deeply respectful expressions.
In the beast world, a female who could give birth to such a powerful, miraculous cub was worth more than gold.
"Noble female!" the head elder said, his voice trembling slightly as he looked at her. "Is this miraculous little cub truly yours?"
Su Qinglan nodded her head gracefully, her eyes curving into soft crescents. "Yes, I am his beast mother. I gave birth to him just a few months ago."
Hearing her confirmation, the elders were entirely awestruck. They immediately nodded their heads in deep respect, showering her with endless praise.
"You are truly a magnificent and blessed female! To be able to give birth to such an excellent, divine cub is a miracle from the Beast God himself!"
Hearing the high praise, the little fox cub Ciao Ciao puffed out his tiny chest even more, lifting his little snout high into the air. His fluffy face was completely covered with a proud, smug expression, and he looked incredibly satisfied with himself.
The head elder finally took another step forward, clearing his throat as he prepared to explain the situation. "Noble female, we are the high elders from Fox Beast City. Our previous leader was recently defeated by a new, powerful ruler."
He pointed a shaking finger toward the snow where Rong Ye was still pretending to be completely knocked out and unconscious.
"In our Fox Beast City, our laws are very simple: only the absolute strongest Nine-Tailed Fox beastman can rule. If anyone can completely overpower the current leader, then that person automatically takes the throne."
The elder paused, looking at the tiny cub with wide, worshipful eyes.
"Just now, we all saw it with our own eyes. Your little cub completely overpowered and defeated our leader! He literally plastered him into the snow! Therefore, by the sacred laws of our clan, the position of the Lord of Fox Beast City must now fall onto the shoulders of this proud little cub!"
Hearing this grand explanation, Su Qinglan played her part perfectly. Her eyes widened to the size of saucers, and her gaze shook with intense shock.
She looked completely speechless, as if she could not believe what she was hearing. Deep down, however, she was laughing hysterically. Her little cub was truly an amazing actor!
The elders looked at her shocked face, completely convinced by her confusion.
They whispered among themselves, nodding at how oblivious this gentle female seemed to be regarding her own son’s terrifying capabilities.
"Therefore," the head elder continued smoothly, "we would like to formally invite both you, your beast husbands, and the young leader to relocate to Fox Beast City immediately. It is the only grand palace fit for a magnificent female and a genius cub like him."
