33: Fox Abandoned was kidnapped

White Fox crouched down, his fingers grinding the traces left behind by Hu Qi.

Hu Qi was in trouble; he had been kidnapped!

"Aqi!!"

White Fox rushed into the forest.

However, the heavy rain was pouring down, and it seemed the other party was deliberately trying to erase Hu Qi's traces; finding Hu Qi was actually more difficult than finding Nan Zhisui.

...

In a quiet Cave in the Eastern Great Forest, far away from Stone Village.

This Cave was very hidden and difficult to find.

Several Male Beastmen were working nearby to cover their tracks.

"Let me go, let me go!!" Hu Qi was tied to an ancient Formation, struggling desperately.

"Village Chief, Aunt Hu Zi, why are you tying me up? My Father Beast will be worried! Let me go quickly!"

"Mother, do we really have to do this?" Hu Zi's face showed reluctance. "Hu Qi is still too young; he is only five years old."

Fox Heart was not only the Village Chief but also the village's Female priest; she had her beast husband perfecting the Formation, her expression cold and cruel.

"Then what do you want to do? You are just a waste; look, have you accomplished anything in five years?! Our only precious fate-severing fruit was eaten by Hu Li!

Do we have any other way now? We have no way to make White Fox voluntarily sever his partner relationship! We have no other choice!"

"fate-severing fruit? You want my Father Beast and Female Mother to sever their partner relationship?" Hu Qi struggled desperately, saying angrily, "Why do you want to destroy the relationship between my Father Beast and Female Mother? You are too bad! Don't even think about it!!"

Ever since he found out that Nan Zhisui was his Female Mother, Hu Qi's attitude toward his Female Mother had changed drastically.

He liked Nan Zhisui very much; Nan Zhisui was a good person!

He liked his Female Mother very much!

"Shut up," Fox Heart said heavily.

For so many years, Fox Heart had been suppressing White Fox's Family.

To put it in modern terms, she was PUA-ing them.

Stone Village turned a blind eye to the plight of White Fox's Family and did not help when White Fox's life was at stake. However, they regarded White Fox as the private property of Stone Village and never thought of letting him leave.

And Fox Heart even indulged her own daughter, Hu Zi, in pursuing White Fox. There was only one reason for this.

This line of White Fox possessed a trace of the Fox Tribe's most noble Ancient Bloodline.

In the Beast World, beast Bloodlines are usually divided into ordinary Bloodlines, Advanced Bloodlines, and Ancient Bloodlines.

Most of the beastmen in the Fox Tribe awakened an ordinary Fox Tribe Bloodline.

And the previous Genius beastman, Hu An, had three beast markings at the age of 16; he had awakened a sub-Advanced Bloodline.

Beastmen with ordinary Bloodlines and Advanced Bloodlines find it very difficult to awaken a Supernatural Ability.

If it were the Fox Tribe's Ancient Bloodline... it would likely reach the Beast General Rank upon Awakening, and with diligent Cultivate, one could become a Beast King!

A Beast King is the hope for a village to take off!

Moreover, the Fox Tribe's Ancient Bloodline also had a very Heaven-Defying Supernatural Ability—Overwhelming Seduction.

The Supernatural Ability Overwhelming Seduction can easily control the other party's love, making the other party (regardless of race, whether Male or Female, old or young) fall in love with him wholeheartedly the moment they look at him, even willing to die for him.

In the ancient records of Stone Village, Fox Heart saw the terror of this ability very clearly.

In the Fox Tribe, the higher the Bloodline, the more handsome the appearance.

White Fox's Father Beast was the most beautiful Male in Stone Village when he was young. In order to keep this Bloodline, Fox Heart once tried to pursue White Fox's Father Beast, but failed.

White Fox himself was also the most beautiful Male of the Fox Tribe.

Fox Heart let her own Female cub pursue White Fox, but that also failed!

The higher the Bloodline, the more difficult it is to awaken. White Fox's lineage had not awakened for three or four generations. Who knew if it would awaken?

Moreover, White Fox was no longer young, having passed the best age for Awakening.

But even so, he was after all a Legacy-bearer of the Ancient Bloodline, and Stone Village could not let them leave.

Fox Heart said, "Our Stone Village, although an ancient tribe, has become increasingly backward in the last two hundred years or so."

"The highest Rank in the entire tribe is actually a Three-Striped Beast Warrior. Let alone a Beast King, there isn't even a single Beast General!"

Hu Zi heard about the Beast King for the first time; she asked in surprise, "Mother, how can there be a Beast King? What Rank is a Beast King?"

Fox Heart explained patiently, "Little Zi, you must know that one to three patterns are Beast Warriors, four to six patterns are Beast Generals, and seven to eight patterns are Beast Kings."

Hu Zi said in shock, "There are beastmen with seven or eight patterns?!"

Fox Heart nodded. "Yes. But now, look at our Stone Village, where are there any Beast Generals or Beast Kings? Producing a single Beast Warrior is already cause for celebration.

The only possibility to change the current situation of Stone Village now is the Bloodline of White Fox's lineage!"

Fox Heart became angrier as she spoke, "More than twenty years ago, I lost to White Fox's Female Mother and failed to obtain their Bloodline. Now, you have actually lost to the outsider Female, Nan Zhisui!"

Hu Zi was scolded, muttered a few times in her heart, and said, "Then what should we do now? Nan Zhisui has already returned, and White Fox's heart and mind are all on her! White Fox will not be willing to sever the partner relationship. Moreover, our fate-severing fruit is gone too."

Fox Heart was angry when she mentioned this matter; she glanced at her useless Female daughter.

Hu Zi sighed, "Mother, let's just forget it. Things that don't belong to us can't be obtained no matter how we fight for them. I don't want that Ancient Bloodline anymore either. Anyway, it might not necessarily awaken."

Fox Heart said with dissatisfaction, "The only hope for the entire Stone Village lies in White Fox's lineage. We must firmly grasp this Bloodline. This lineage of White Fox must not only remain in Stone Village, but must also remain in our Family!"

"As long as we keep the Ancient Bloodline, there will eventually be a possibility of Awakening one day. We cannot gamble on other possibilities; the Ancient Bloodline must stay in our Stone Village!"

Fox Heart's terrifying gaze swept toward Hu Qi, then shifted to her most satisfactory grandson, Hu Lie.

Hu Lie, the Male cub born to Hu Zi, was now ten years old, had awakened an Advanced Bloodline, was already a Three-Striped Beast Warrior, and was a Genius youth even more excellent than Hu An.

He was also one of the Foundations for Fox Heart's lineage to firmly establish their position as Village Chief.

Hu Lie knelt respectfully in front of Hu Zi and Fox Heart, "Grandma, Female Mother."

In the Beast World where there are few Females and many Males, Females are respected, and Females are the core of a Family.

The Father Beast and Female Mother of a Female Mother are called grandpa and grandma.

The Father Beast and Female Mother of a Father Beast are called maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother.

Fox Heart lowered her head and stroked her grandson. "Lie'er, you are naturally excellent, and you should remain excellent."

"Everything Grandma is going to do next is for you and for the future of our Family."

Their Family wanted the Ancient Bloodline, and they must obtain it!

As for Hu Qi... she used to think that he was a little fox of Stone Village, so she was quite reluctant to hurt him.

It was because she was too kind before.

Now, for the sake of Stone Village's future and for the sake of her Family's future, there was nothing to be reluctant about.

Hu Qi, tied to the cross, looked at the former Village Chief, Fox Heart, and an inexplicable fear arose in his heart.

The Little Cub called out, trying to be brave, "What are you going to do to me? My Father Beast and Female Mother will not let you off!"

...

"It's actually raining so heavily during the Minor Rainy Season."

Nan Zhisui looked up at the sky; the sky was thundering and lightning, very frightening.

Under normal circumstances, Nan Zhisui would definitely not dare to run in the forest under such heavy lightning.

But now, Nan Zhisui felt inexplicably panicked in her heart.

It seemed that something was happening.

Very dangerous!

Someone very important to her was experiencing danger!
