Chapter 176: Come Be My Employee!

All sound vanished.

A second ago, the foxes were still immersed in an ocean of joy, excited and stirred by the words of their King.

But the next second, everything changed.

They could no longer laugh.

The valley they relied on for survival, a sacred territory that had never been stepped upon by humans, had today welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

The Great Array, it was broken...

It was broken!!!

When did they appear there?

How was there not even a sound?

Could it be that they didn't encounter even half a bit of trouble in the illusion?

How is this possible?

That was a Great Array personally set up by the King, and one that was personally reinforced every so often.

"Ah!!!"

"It's humans! Humans have attacked!"

Panic is like a plague; once it spreads, it is extremely difficult to control.

When the first wail of fear escaped their mouths, the atmosphere of collapse spread like a tidal wave.

Following this momentum, Ren Yidao wouldn't even need to make a move himself; they would collapse without being attacked.

But fortunately, there were some sensible foxes among this group.

"Fight!!!"

Over a dozen Transformation Demons came to their senses, rushed to the front of the youth, and bared their teeth at him.

"Stop him! Let the others get away quickly!"

Even if it meant paying with their lives, they had to let the clan survive!

But just before the Fox Clan warriors could struggle to rise, one movement from the youth caused the fear in their hearts to surge.

Looking at the dozen or so Fox Demons, Ren Yidao nodded with a smile.

Not bad, not bad.

Not fleeing in the face of battle; it seems everyone is a good child.

As a kind and amiable Great Demon, Ren Yidao, as their future boss, did not want to leave them with too terrifying a memory.

"Oh my, don't be in such a rush to fight; we are all one family."

Having said that, he smilingly dragged a giant red ball from behind him and then tossed it directly toward the Purple Forest in the center of the valley.

"Here, a little gift for you all."

The red ball was bounced off by the Purple Forest and landed heavily on the ground, smashing a large crater.

Boom!

"That is!!?"

And when the dust settled, the foxes finally saw the true face of the red ball.

That was no red ball at all, but a giant wolf head.

Although the skull was slightly flattened, as if stepped on by a giant beast, there was that iconic single eye and the fierce aura it was still emitting even in death.

"Wolf King..."

!!!

The greatest fear in their hearts, the leader of the wolf pack to the east, the One-eyed Wolf King.

And at this moment, it no longer had any chance to be the nightmare in their hearts.

It was like a dead dog, its head chopped off by someone and tossed casually before their eyes.

Swish—

Their hind legs retreated subconsciously, and the courage that had originally swelled in their hearts was completely shaken in the face of such a massive gap in strength.

Flee.

Must flee!

Such an enemy cannot be fought at all.

They would definitely die!

And just in the midst of despair, they thought of the final hope in their hearts.

If it were the King... he would definitely be able to defeat him, right?

"You... how did you get in?"

Although there was a bit more depth in the voice, the Fox King had not lost its composure.

It stared at the youth, who was standing with his hands behind his back, as if looking at a primordial savage beast.

Its intuition was constantly warning it that it must absolutely not make an enemy of him!

Not just in terms of strength, but a kind of suppression that seemed to come from the bloodline and the soul.

There was no chance of winning at all.

"How did I get in? Well, I just walked in."

"By the way, those flowers and plants you set up are quite pretty; it would be even better if there were more varieties."

You!

The Fox King cursed inwardly, its mood becoming even heavier.

Flowers and plants?

That was an illusion array it had meticulously arranged, and every single one of those flowers was a lethal hidden weapon.

Yet, in his eyes, the Great Array that could even stop the Wolf King was nothing but harmless flowers and grass?

No, impossible, he must be bluffing.

He is trying to scare me!

"I have never seen you before... why have you trespassed into my territory?"

Forcing down the fear in its heart, the Fox King maintained its image and said angrily:

"Let this be the only time this happens; leave at once!!!"

The last shred of hope in its heart was that this man had merely stumbled in by accident and could be made to retreat just like that.

But how could such a good thing exist under Heaven?

"Don't be angry; it doesn't matter that we didn't know each other before, we will have plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in the future."

Ren Yidao did not care about the threat in the other's tone at all.

Or rather, he did not feel threatened in the slightest.

When the gap in strength was too great, he could not even feel insulted; he only felt that the aura the other was forcing out was a little bit cute.

Kawaii~

"Setting that aside, I haven't stated my purpose for coming today yet."

Moving his gaze away from the Zizhulin, he looked around the entire valley and said loudly:

"Come be my ch... *cough cough*, come be my employees!"

"Simply put, my goal today is to have you work for me."

Become the first batch of core employees for my great Fox Tea House!

Unfortunately, his sincere invitation did not receive the other's approval.

"In your dreams!"

The Fox King was thoroughly enraged.

Regardless of how strong the other party was, having been poked in its greatest sore spot, it lunged straight out of the Zhulu.

Its fiery red fur puffed up, and the entire fox exploded as if it had been inflated.

"We will absolutely never submit!!!"

But even though it was bristling with rage at this moment, one could still see its beauty.

Trailing behind its slender body was a massive Fox Tail as long as its body.

Ren Yidao blinked in some amazement.

Examining it with his professional eye, this Fox King's appearance was very impressive, whether viewed from the perspective of a human or a fox.

Hmm, although slightly inferior to me, it can still score a nine.

Deal!

From now on, you are the star of my shop!

His undisguised gaze stung the Fox King's heart, and it instinctively charged forward.

The Fox King wanted to make this guy understand that it was not to be trifled with!

It charged!

Slap.

It flew back!

The Fox King, having landed on the ground, had not yet reacted to what had happened when it heard mocking laughter from behind:

"Don't be so agitated."

That mysterious human youth was now standing behind it, gently stroking its neck.

!!!

Those warm, slender fingers rested on its neck and gave a light squeeze.

It felt as if they were pinching its very lifeline.

No, I cannot run.

But...

"So what if you are powerful? Do you think my Fox Clan would submit to others?"

Even though its vital point was already in the other's grasp, as the Fox King, it did not intend to bow its head!

"Do you think we would wag our tails and beg for pity from you?"

No!

"Delusional!"

"Even if other foxes would do that, the Fox Clan of my Zizhushan will never submit to anyone."

Keep dreaming!

To this, Ren Yidao's response was:

"Whoa!"

"You've even read books?"
