Cousin Nan Wang, an Abandoned Nine-Tailed Fox? Bloodline of the Demon Race's Third King

Nan Xiao and Bai Wanying had just come down from the stands and hadn't even fully settled down when they witnessed this scene.

Nan Xiao paused, his brow furrowing slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Am I seeing things?"

The two exchanged a glance, then strode forward like the wind, calling out, "Ran'er?"

Nan Xunran turned her head upon hearing the sound, her gaze indifferent as she looked at them.

Nan Xiao's face was full of confusion, his lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, "Just now..."

Nan Luoning jumped out and shouted, "No! She kissed her own hand!"

Wen Rong nodded eagerly in agreement.

Nan Xiao nodded slightly, his expression returning to normal. "I see."

He thought for a moment and then sighed, "I've always heard that women should be wary of frivolous men, but I never imagined that men would also need to be careful."

Then, he said slowly, "Ran'er, Xiao Wang sent word that he will return in a few days."

Upon hearing Nan Xunran nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."

Divine Son Hall

As soon as Nan Xunran stepped into the hall, a swift figure rushed over and tightly embraced him with strong arms.

"Little Xunran, have you missed me?" The voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Nan Xunran was slightly taken aback, slowly raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her, and said, "Didn't you say you would return in a few days?"

Nan Wang suppressed some of his outward emotions, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and reached out to lightly stroke Nan Xunran's face. "I came back a few days early to give you a surprise, how about it?"

Nan Xunran gently turned her face away, avoiding the large hand, and said in a cold tone, "Scared."

Seeing this, Nan Wang feigned sadness and sighed deeply, "How can you say that to me, brother? It's been so long since we last met, and you've become so distant."

Nan Xunran replied calmly, "No."

Nan Wang smiled and said, "I just watched the competition. Our Little Xunran is still as outstanding as ever."

As they were talking, without any warning, a spider slowly crawled out from his hair, swaying precariously, about to fall straight down.

Nan Wang's eyes narrowed, and he quickly reached out to catch it, gently touching the spider's head with his fingers. He whispered, "Little Six, don't be reckless. It would be dangerous if you fell."

The spider followed his hand back to his face, then disappeared into his hair.

Just then, Nan Wang's clothes trembled slightly, and a small, jet-black snake slowly emerged from its body. Its slender body was as striking as obsidian.

Nan Wang frowned slightly and gently scolded, "Why did you all come out?"

The little snake hissed and flicked its tongue, as if conveying some message.

Nan Wang shook his head helplessly and said in a conciliatory tone, "You guys are really... fine, fine, fine."

With that, Nan Wang steadily lifted the small snake high and said to Nan Xunran, "Little Xunran, Little Two wants you to touch it."

Nan Xunran raised an eyebrow slightly, then nodded gently.

The snake slowly crawled upwards along Nan Xunran's well-defined arm.

The snake's scales shimmered with a cold luster in the soft light, and its tongue flickered in and out from time to time.

Nan Xunran's hands were long and strong, with slightly protruding veins on the back of his hands. A small snake crawled onto his hand and coiled around it, its head resting quietly on his wrist, no longer making any movement.

Nan Wang exclaimed in surprise, "Hey? Why are you being so obedient?"

Then, he leaned forward slightly and said mysteriously, "Little Xunran, guess what I brought back for you this time?"

Nan Xunran looked at him calmly and replied simply, "What?"

Nan Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of anticipation in them, and said slowly, "Guess."

Nan Xunran frowned slightly and called out, "Brother."

Nan Wang was taken aback for a moment, then reluctantly conceded, spreading his hands slightly and saying, "Alright, alright, I won't guess anymore."

With a flourish of his hand, a fox appeared out of thin air on the ground.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Nan Xunran's eyes, and she murmured softly, "Nine-Tailed Fox?"

Nan Wang nodded and said slowly, "The Nine-Tailed Fox is of the bloodline of the third king of the Demon Race. Its offspring are extremely rare, and no one has ever been able to successfully tame it. I happened to find this little guy and thought I'd bring him back to you."

Nan Xunran forward slightly, her gaze fixed on the Nine-Tailed Fox, and said calmly, "Where is its tail?"

Nan Wang crossed his arms, casually shook his head, and said, "I don't know. It only had eight tails when I found it."

Then, with a slight frown, he continued, "I have never heard of anyone from the Nine-Tailed Fox clan going missing."

Whenever a king's offspring of the Demon Race goes missing, they conduct a massive search, covering the entire Sacred Domain. However, this time there has been no trace of it; it must have been abandoned by the Demon Race.

The words had barely left her lips when the Nine-Tailed Fox let out a soft "Eek."
