The Yin Gui Sect's affairs have temporarily come to an end.

Translation: "The matter of the Yin Gui Sect has come to a temporary end."

Check: "has come to a temporary end" means "has come to a temporary end" or "has been temporarily settled". We'll translate as "The Yin Gui Sect's affairs have temporarily come to an end." Keep concise.

We must not add extra info. Let's produce: "The Yin Gui Sect's affairs have temporarily come to an end."

Within the demon clan.

Translation: "Within the Monster Race."

The White Deer King met with Hu Jiuwei; as the Fox Clan's chieftain, the White Deer King dared not be negligent.

Translation: "The White Deer King received Hu Jiuwei; as the chieftain of the Fox Clan, the White Deer King dared not be negligent."

Check: "chieftain" is chieftain or leader. We'll translate as "chieftain". Could also be "clan chief". We'll use "chieftain". Ensure we use Hu Jiuwei and Fox Clan from glossary.

First, it's her strength; among the demon clan, she is second only to him. After he left, Hu Jiuwei can be said to be the strongest person of the Fox Clan; the demon clan's power transition naturally also relates to her.

Translation: "First, her strength; among the Monster Race, she was second only to him. After he left, Hu Jiuwei could be said to be the strongest person in the Fox Clan, and the Monster Race's power transition naturally involved her."

We need to keep "him" refers to White Deer King? Actually earlier context: "him" likely White Deer King. We'll keep as "him". Not adding extra.

Furthermore, this woman is Chen Chuyang's woman; although we don't know what happened between them, this is an established fact. Hu Jiuwei's strength has increased rapidly, possibly related to Chen Chuyang.

Translation: "Second, this woman is Chen Chuyang's woman. Although we don't know what happened between them, it's an established fact that Hu Jiuwei's strength has risen quickly, possibly due to her connection with Chen Chuyang."

Anyone related to Chen Chuyang will experience a surge in strength; this woman's power gradually becomes unfathomable, so the White Deer King naturally does not dare to be negligent in the slightest. This time, the White Deer King's invitation to her is also for internal demon clan matters, which are naturally resolved within the demon clan.

Translation: "Anyone related to Chen Chuyang will experience a surge in strength. This woman's power grows ever deeper and unfathomable, so the White Deer King naturally dare not be lax in the slightest. This time, too, the White Deer King invited her here; the Monster Race's internal affairs are naturally settled within the Monster Race."

"Your Excellency White Deer King, is this invitation not for that passage?" Hu Jiuwei asked first.

Translation: "\"Your Excellency White Deer King, this time inviting me here, is it not for that passage? \" Hu Jiuwei spoke first."

The White Deer King extended his hand: "Chieftain Hu Jiuwei, please sit down and listen as I explain in detail."

Translation: "The White Deer King extended his hand: \"Chieftain Hu Jiuwei, please sit down and let me explain in detail. \""

We need to use "Chieftain" for chieftain? Could also be "Clan Chief". We'll use "Chieftain". Ensure we use Hu Jiuwei.

After they sat down, the White Deer King explained: "This invitation for Chieftain Hu Jiuwei is mainly for the subsequent arrangements of the demon clan; I will go to the outer realm soon, and this matter, Chieftain Hu Jiuwei, you know about it, right?"

Translation: "After they sat down, the White Deer King explained: \"This time inviting Chieftain Hu Jiuwei here is mainly for the subsequent arrangements of the Monster Race. I intend to go to Tianwai soon; Chieftain Hu Jiuwei, you know about this, right? \""

Hu Jiuwei nodded: "Naturally I know; the news of Your Excellency White Deer King going to the outer realm has spread throughout the demon clan. If I were unaware, I would truly be unworthy to be this chieftain."

Translation: "Hu Jiuwei nodded: \"Naturally I know. The White Deer King's going to Tianwai is such big news that the whole Monster Race has heard it. If I didn't know, I truly wouldn't be fit to be this clan chieftain. \""

"Hahaha, Chieftain Hu Jiuwei, why be modest? With your strength, if you don't serve as the Fox Clan's chieftain, who could?" The White Deer King flattered her; Hu Jiuwei dared not be arrogant—these are just polite words.

Translation: "\"Hahaha, Chieftain Hu Jiuwei, why be modest? With your strength, if you don't lead the Fox Clan, who could? \" The White Deer King flattered her; Hu Jiuwei dared not be arrogant—these were just polite words."

"Your Excellency White Deer King, if you invited me just to say this, it's unnecessary."

Translation: "\"Your Excellency White Deer King, if you invited me here just to say this, it's unnecessary. \""

"Not at all." The White Deer King said slowly: "I am leaving; the next king of the demon clan has been chosen—my worthless disciple Qinglu Demon General, who has received seventy percent of my true transmission. This invitation for Chieftain Hu Jiuwei is mainly to give that worthless disciple a position."

Translation: "\"Of course not. \" The White Deer King said slowly: \"I am about to depart; the next king of the Monster Race has been chosen—it is my worthless disciple Qinglu Demon General, who has received seventy percent of my true transmission. This time inviting Chieftain Hu Jiuwei here is mainly to secure a position for that worthless disciple. \""

"From now on, please take care of the demon clan's affairs, Chieftain Hu Jiuwei."

Translation: "\"From now on, please take care of the Monster Race's affairs, Chieftain Hu Jiuwei. \""

Hu Jiuwei stared at the White Deer King, then after a moment smiled and said: "This is naturally no problem; over these years, Your Excellency White Deer King has certainly not neglected our Fox Clan."

Translation: "Hu Jiuwei gazed deeply at the White Deer King, then after a moment smiled: \"That's naturally no problem. Over these years, the White Deer King has certainly not neglected our Fox Clan. \""

"If it weren't for Your Excellency White Deer King, I might not have become the Fox Clan's chieftain; since Your Excellency has given an order, I dare not disobey."

Translation: "\"If it weren't for the White Deer King, I might not have become chieftain of the Fox Clan. Since the White Deer King has given orders, I dare not disobey. \""

Note there is a stray quote at end; we keep as is.

The White Deer King immediately raised his hand: "Chieftain Hu J

Translation: "The White Deer King immediately raised his hand: \"Chieftain Hu Jiuwei, you're being modest; you can lead the Fox Clan because of your strength—I merely lent a slight hand. \""

Over the past years, under the Nine-Tails Clan Chief's guidance, the Fox Clan has gradually regained its former glory, and we believe it will soon become the foremost clan among the demons.

Translation: "\"Over these years, under Chieftain Hu Jiuwei's leadership, the Fox Clan has gradually regained its former glory; I believe it will soon become the foremost clan among the Monster Race. \""

I hope that, as fellow demons, the Nine-Tails Clan Chief will look after us a little in the future; I, the White Deer King, thank him in advance for his generosity.

Translation: "\"I hope that in the future, Chieftain Hu Jiuwei, considering our shared status as Monster Race, will look after the Monster Race a little; I here thank the Chieftain in advance for his generosity. \""

Fox Nine-Tails rose immediately, clasped her hands, and said, "Your Excellency, you're being polite; demon clan affairs are naturally the Fox Clan's responsibility. You can rest assured—while I'm here, no one can shake the Qinglu Demon General, which is, in fact, the position of the Qinglu Demon King."

Translation: "Hu Jiuwei immediately rose and clasped his hands: \"Your Excellency, you're being polite; the Monster Race's affairs are naturally our Fox Clan's affairs. Rest assured—with me present, no one can shake the Qinglu Demon General's position, oh, that is the Qinglu Demon King's status. \""

Upon hearing those words, the White Deer King smiled.

Translation: "Upon hearing this, the White Deer King laughed."

I, the White Deer King, thank the Nine-Tails Clan Chief.

Translation: "\"I thank Chieftain Hu Jiuwei here. \""

No need for formalities, Your Excellency.

Translation: "\"Your Excellency, no need for courtesy. \""

They exchanged greetings, and their relationship is quite good.

Translation: "The two exchanged pleasantries; their relationship was not bad."

Despite a friendship spanning over a thousand years, the Fox Clan back then was not nearly as strong as it is now; without the White Deer King's protection, it might not have survived to this day.

Translation: "After a thousand years of camaraderie, the Fox Clan back then was not as strong as now; without the White Deer King's protection, it might not have survived to this day."

Who among the demons has not received his kindness?

Translation: "This is why, for so many years, the Monster Race has taken the White Deer King as its king; even the Myriad Poisons Demon King, no matter how wicked, would not dare defy the White Deer King's orders."

The demons' present strength is largely thanks to him.

Translation: "The Monster Race's present strength is thanks to this one."

After he departed, the other clans would naturally continue to obey the demon king's orders; the Qinglu Demon King is the White Deer King's disciple and his bloodline heir, essentially equivalent to the White Deer King.

Translation: "He has departed; other clans will naturally continue to obey the Demon King's orders. The Qinglu Demon King is the White Deer King's disciple, also his bloodline inheritance, equivalent to the White Deer King."

Nine-Tails Clan Chief, how about you watch me depart and then return later?

Translation: "\"Chieftain Hu Jiuwei, why not wait until after I depart to see me off before returning? \""

Alright.

Translation: "\"Alright. \""

Fox Nine-Tails settled among the demons.

Translation: "Hu Jiuwei resided within the Monster Race."

Over the next few days, the demon clan naturally accomplished several things.

For example, the Qinglu Demon General was promoted to demon king and took control of the demon clan.

The White Deer King paved the way for him; many demon clan chiefs came, naturally wanting to witness the White Deer King's grand venture beyond the heavens; if successful, it would be a tremendous boon for the demons.

Translation: "The White Deer King paved the way for him; many Monster Race clan leaders came, naturally wanting to witness the White Deer King's grand deed of going to Tianwai—if successful, it would be a great fortune for the Monster Race."

Next came Elder Xinran, along with Ming Jianzi and Mingwuzhi, and Chen Churan also came this time.

Chen Churan also curiously observed Jing Yuheng, feeling that the woman's gaze toward her was off.

When she saw Fox Nine-Tails, Chen Churan was startled by the woman's overly familiar manner.

Translation: "When she saw Hu Jiuwei, Chen Churan was startled by her familiarity."

Fox Nine-Tails appeared before Chen Churan, naturally took her hand, and said affectionately, "You must be Sister Churan; this is our first meeting, so let me give you a greeting gift."

Translation: "Hu Jiuwei appeared before Chen Churan, naturally took her hand, and affectionately said: \"This must be Younger Sister Churan, right? This is a greeting gift for our first meeting. \""

Fox Nine-Tails produced a hairpin and handed it to Chen Churan; it is a spiritual artifact, and she gave it quite generously.

Translation: "Hu Jiuwei produced a hairpin and handed it to Chen Churan; it was a Spiritual Artifact, given quite generously."

Chen Churan was dumbfounded and looked to her master, Elder Xinran.

Translation: "Chen Churan was dumbfounded, looking toward her master, Elder Xinran."

Elder Xinran said, "Since the Nine-Tails Clan Chief gave it to you, just keep it."

Translation: "Elder Xinran said: \"Since it was given by Chieftain Hu Jiuwei, just take it. \""

Yes, Master.

Translation: "\"Yes, Master. \""

Chen Churan accepted the hairpin, looking puzzled at her master and then at Fox Nine-Tails.

Translation: "Chen Churan accepted the hairpin, looking puzzled at her master, then at Hu Jiuwei."

Fox Nine-Tails' renowned name is like thunder in one's ears, yet she never expected her to be so gentle and overly familiar.

Translation: "Hu Jiuwei's great name was like thunder in the ears, yet she never expected her to be so gentle and so familiar."

Elder Xinran explained, "Churan, this Nine-Tails Clan Chief is one of your sisters-in-law; this greeting gift is from her, so please accept it."

Translation: "Elder Xinran explained: \"Churan, this Chieftain Hu Jiuwei is one of your sisters-in-law; this is the greeting gift from your sister-in-law—just accept it. \""

Chen Churan blinked.

Translation: "Chen Churan blinked."

Thereafter, she stared at Fox Nine-Tails in astonishment.

Translation: "Afterward, she stared at Hu Jiuwei in astonishment."

Sister-in-law?

Translation: "Sister-in-law?"

What sister-in-law?

Isn't her sister-in-law Hongxue? When did another Hu Jiuwei appear?

Hu Jiuwei smiled and said, "What your master said is correct; you should call me sister-in-law."

After receiving Hu Jiuwei's confirmation, Chen Churan stood frozen in place.

For a moment, I didn't know how to speak.

Ming Jianzi beside him blinked, and a tremendous surge rose in his heart.

The Fox Clan's chief, Hu Jiuwei, is the sister-in-law of Junior Sister Churan, which means she is one of Chen Chuyang's wives—this is absolutely crazy, isn't it?

This person is none other than the Fox Clan's strongest chief and one of the world's top beauties.

She is the dream lover of countless men.

She actually became Chen Chuyang's wife; if those outside men found out, who knows how many hearts would be broken.
