Chapter 177: The Fox Clan Shall Never Be Slaves!

Fox King:?

I've been talking about being ready to die for so long, and this is your only reaction?

Huh?

But no matter how humiliated the Fox King felt, Ren Yidao was pleasantly surprised that it was literate.

"You even understand these things! Good, good, good! To think you're actually an educated talent... a fox talent."

Whoa!

You should have said you had this skill earlier; then I would have gone a bit easier on you just now.

"Having a foreman—no, having a shift leader—will save me quite a bit of trouble."

As a genuine Merit entrepreneur, Ren Yidao was very skilled at utilizing people.

If he let this Demon King manage his own subordinates, it would be nothing but beneficial and harmless.

Maximizing the inherent abilities of talent is what a qualified leader must do.

This is called knowing people and using them well; it's not some "using foxes to control foxes"!

Hmm... that's about the gist of it.

"No!"

The Fox King struggled, wanting to escape from Ren Yidao's demonic grasp.

But every attempt was met with the same outcome.

Even when it was far away, it had already felt the suppression.

The Fox King thought that was the limit, but it was wrong.

Wrong, completely.

And the moment it truly made contact with Ren Yidao, its limbs instinctively went limp.

Its will wanted to resist, but its body simply couldn't muster any strength.

It was impossible to resist even the slightest bit.

"... No."

Gradually, it felt despair.

Yielding to the suppression within its body, it knelt powerlessly on the ground.

In its despair, it looked around with difficulty, wanting to know if its clansmen had managed to escape.

"... Haha."

The scene that met its eyes caused it to collapse completely.

In the vast valley, all the foxes were just like it, kneeling before the youth beside it, trembling with their heads bowed low.

Yes.

Even it couldn't withstand this majesty, so how could the other foxes possibly hold out?

The Fox Clan of Zizhushan was finished just like that...

No!

It couldn't just give up like this!

"No!!!"

Straining to let out a roar, it made all the numb and despairing foxes look at it.

Amidst countless gazes, it forcibly braced its spirit and lifted its head to glare at the youth.

"You will never succeed!"

"Even if you obtain our bodies, you will never obtain our Heart Star!"

It said:

"The Fox Clan! Never to be slaves!"

No matter the result today, it had to plant this seed of never-yielding into the hearts of its clansmen!

In the future, as long as one escapes, the Zizhushan Fox Clan will not be completely wiped out!

This was the final struggle of a clan king.

To this Demon King's struggle, Ren Yidao's response was:

"I provide food and housing here, you know."

Fox King:?

"Since you've read books, you must have spent time in the human world, right?"

"You can understand what this means, right?"

The Fox King fell silent.

"Three meals a day, meat in every meal, and a late-night snack."

The Fox King's eyes began to wander.

"And you don't have to go around killing, nor will you be slaves or servants."

"You only need to work three hours a day, one day on, one day off, with two shifts of foxes rotating."

The Fox King was tempted!

"As long as you follow me, I promise you won't have to live in fear every day, struggling from one meal to the next."

As a former wild fox who lived in the mountains and forests for decades, Ren Yidao knew very well what they wanted most.

For a clan looking to develop, the most important thing is always a stable life.

"As the king of the clan, how will you decide?"

"Will you let them continue to suffer with you? Or will you, along with them, come with me to enjoy a good life?"

This is truly a genuine blessing!

It is rare for me, Ren Yidao, to offer someone such good treatment.

He loosened his fingers from the Fox Demon's neck and gently lifted its chin with his index finger.

Gazing at those eyes filled with torment and hesitation, he asked with a light chuckle:

"Do you choose to submit to me? Or continue to enjoy your 'freedom'?"

Finally, after a long silence, the Chi Hu Yao Wang lowered its arrogant head.

"I... submit."

Men are the knife and chopping board, while I am the fish and meat.

This phrase, once read in a book, was now being applied to oneself and one's tribe.

Then, it stared fixedly at Ren Yidao and spoke without yielding an inch:

"You must sign a written agreement!"

Oh?

It even knows this?

Not bad, not bad.

"Fine, I will sign a written agreement."

Isn't it just an employment contract? I'm familiar with this.

Seeing Ren Yidao agree, the Fox Demon finally let out a sigh of relief and said in a low, dejected voice:

"I hope you keep your promise."

"Don't worry, don't worry~"

A fox does not deceive a fox.

At most, I'll just scam you a little.

Oh, young little fox~

The world is very complicated, you know.

Especially a world without the protection of labor laws.

……

……

At the entrance of the valley, two young girls witnessed the entire process of signing the black-labor contract.

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister!"

"Hmm?"

Taking a step back, Li Lingling tugged at Yu Yu's sleeve and whispered in her ear:

"Why do I feel like we are the bad guys?"

Is it just my imagination?

Why does it feel like things are getting more and more wrong?

We clearly only came to catch foxes, didn't we?

How on earth did it end up like a mountain bandit forcibly seizing a woman...

No, wait, these foxes are clearly the indigenous inhabitants of the mountain!

And besides...

Why is Senior Brother so skilled at this!!?

The way he said those lines so smoothly and with such rich emotion—this is definitely not his first time doing this!

Thorough investigation!

I must have Xue Jie bring people to investigate this properly later!

For the sake of the innocent people of the world, Lingling is prepared to sacrifice her own kin for the sake of justice!

"Sigh... as for that, you'll get used to it."

Yu Yu sighed, stroked her hair with a touch of sorrow, and muttered to herself:

"Back then, even I..."

Although looking back now, Foster Father was just teasing her, but at the time, she was truly desperate!

Foster Father is good in every way, it's just this personality of his that is sometimes truly unfathomable.

"What... Senior Sister, you!"

Looking at the melancholy on the young girl's face, the Twelfth Princess, whose mind was full of the image of a bandit seizing a woman, misunderstood on the spot.

You, you, you—were you actually forced!?

Li Lingling was greatly shocked!

She forgot what the current scene was and stared at Yu Yu's profile in disbelief.

……

……

"Fox can also be 'Hu'... since you have read books, go ahead and give yourself and the others names."

Ren Yidao turned his head to look at the Tibetan Fox guide who was leading the way, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"You are not allowed to have the surname Fox; you must have the surname Zhang."

Tibetan Fox Demon:?

"Zhang Chen... no, that's too obviously riding on someone else's coattails."

"Zhang Liang? That won't work either; it makes me want to eat spicy hot pot."

"Forget it, you might as well be called Zhang Wuqiong."

Tibetan Fox:?

"Besides, after you take human form, you can practice nunchucks... they're very strong."

So sad, I really have to consider switching to two chapters of three thousand words each.
