A Life-Saving Grace Cannot Be Repaid-So Why Not Give Herself to Him?
Fu Linglong slowly woke up, feeling the weakness in her body gradually dissipate, but she didn't know what had happened.
She looked at her personal maid beside her and Wen Dao in a slightly hoarse voice, "What... happened to me? Who saved me?"
Fu Xiaotong rushed forward, her eyes filled with joy and relief, and said excitedly, "Your Empress, it was Young Master Hua Qiang who saved you with the Life Divine Water! If it weren't for him, you..."
Upon hearing this, the Empress's gaze instantly fell upon Hua Qiang, who was standing not far away.
Hua Qiang was tall and handsome, exuding a calm and unique aura.
A complex emotion flashed in the Empress's eyes, a mixture of surprise, gratitude, and disbelief.
Before she fainted, she knew how serious her injuries were, and even thought she wouldn't make it through this ordeal.
With the help of a maid, she slowly rose, walked to Hua Qiang, and bowed deeply.
His voice was sincere and firm. "Young Master Hua Qiang, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace."
The entire Fox Clan will forever remember your kindness.
If you ever have any needs in the future, young master, the Fox Clan will do everything in its power to help you!
After saying that, she raised her head, her eyes slightly red, yet filled with gratitude.
God knows how worried she was about her race before!
Under the devastation inflicted by the Black Mountain Old Demon, the tribe's elite forces were almost entirely wiped out.
The remaining forces were insufficient to protect the Fox Clan.
If other forces covet their land and take advantage of their misfortune to invade their homeland.
Then her faction will face annihilation!
The people within the tribe either died in battle, or were captured and enslaved, or even sold into slavery.
This is not something she wants to see, nor is it something she can accept!
Now that she is alive and nearly fully recovered, all her worries are gone.
All of this was thanks to the man in front of her, and she really didn't know how to thank him.
The elders of the Fox Clan also gathered around.
The Great Elder, Hu Zihua, was so excited that his hands trembled and his voice was choked with emotion.
"Young Master Hua... you've saved the very life of our entire Fox Clan! We will never forget your immense Fox Clan!"
"Please, Young Master Hua Qiang, stay with us for a few days. Our Fox Clan will certainly offer you a reward that will satisfy you!"
The Fourth Elder nodded slightly, his eyes filled with respect. "Young Master's actions are truly righteous. From now on, the Fox Clan is willing to go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
The other elders echoed this sentiment, their words filled with gratitude and respect for Hua Qiang.
Their faces were filled with sincerity, and their eyes revealed their utmost respect for their savior.
Hua Qiang felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he watched the scene unfold before him.
These foxes are genuine and honest.
Everyone says foxes are cunning, but he couldn't sense any cunning from the Fox Clan in front of him.
He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need for that, everyone. It was just a small favor, nothing to mention."
Hua Qiang made it sound so easy, but the Fox Clan members didn't accept it.
The preciousness behind this "small act of kindness" lies in the fact that Hua Qiang is their great benefactor, and they will definitely repay this kindness with their life.
The Fox Clan's Council Hall.
A group of senior executives sat together in the dim light, which highlighted the fatigue and dejection on their faces.
Although the smoke of war has gradually dissipated, the wounds it left behind are like an unhealable scar etched in the hearts of every Fox Clan.
The surviving high-ranking members, including the Supreme Elder Hu Meier, the Great Elder, and the Fourth Elder, were not immersed in grief at this moment, but were intensely discussing a crucial topic—how to repay Hua Qiang for saving their lives.
The Great Elder frowned and spoke first, "Hua Qiang has given us a second chance at life, and we must never forget this kindness."
I think we can give him half of the Fox Clan's most precious Spirit Crystals mine as a token of our sincerity.
The Fourth Elder gently shook his head and retorted, "Although Spirit Crystals veins are precious, they may not be the most important thing for someone like Hua Qiang."
We need to offer something more substantial.
Everyone argued back and forth, coming up with a series of solutions, but none of them could satisfy everyone.
Just then, Supreme Elder Hu Meier, who had been listening quietly with her eyes slightly narrowed, suddenly opened her eyes, a sly glint in them.
She glanced at everyone, cleared her throat, and said, "Everyone, stop arguing. Your Excellency has a good idea. Would you like to hear it?"
The elders' discussion abruptly ceased, and they all turned their gazes toward Hu Meier, their eyes filled with anticipation.
"Please enlighten Supreme Elder," the crowd said in unison.
Hu Meier's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile, but this smile made everyone in the room feel that she had some ill intentions.
She said slowly and deliberately, "Ladies and gentlemen, our Empress is of unparalleled beauty, a beauty that could topple kingdoms and cities."
The leaders of the surrounding major powers admired her greatly and all wanted to marry her.
What do you think of Hua Qiang's son?
Taishang thinks the two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Why don't we help them get married?
Since I can't repay the debt of saving my life, I might as well have her repay me with her body!
Upon hearing this, the conference room fell into an instant silence.
Everyone was taken aback at first, then their eyes gleamed with golden light, and their minds became active.
They had considered this idea before, but they had never dared to voice it.
After all, the Empress's marriage is a matter of life and death, concerning the future of the entire Fox Clan. Who would dare to make a suggestion so easily?
The Great Elder's face showed a thoughtful expression, and after a moment, he slowly nodded.
"What the Supreme Elder said is absolutely right."
If the Empress can marry Young Master Hua Qiang, then our Fox Clan will have boarded Hua Qiang's powerful war chariot.
This is undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for the development of our Fox Clan.
The Fourth Elder chimed in, "That's right!"
It should be noted that the ten old men beside Young Master Hua Qiang are all ancestors of the Dragon Race, each of them a powerful being at the Divine Realm.
If we can establish this relationship, who in the entire Dragon Domain would dare to easily make a move against our Fox Clan?
"At that time, our Fox Clan will definitely be able to roam freely throughout this Dragon Domain!"
The other elders nodded in agreement, their faces beaming with excitement and anticipation.
They seemed to have already envisioned a prosperous and bright future for the Fox Clan under Hua Qiang's protection.
Hu Meier secretly felt smug as she observed the reactions of the crowd.
She continued, "We need to consider this matter carefully. We need to make Mr. Hua Qiang feel our sincerity, but we also need to prevent Her Empress from thinking that we are using her."
The Great Elder pondered for a moment and said, "The Supreme Elder is right!"
We can send someone to test Hua Qiang's intentions and see if he has any feelings for Her Empress.
At the same time, we also need to find a suitable opportunity to have a good talk with Her Empress and listen to her thoughts.
Everyone expressed their approval.
Thus, a plan to bring the Empress and Hua Qiang together quietly unfolded in this small conference room.
The high-ranking members of the Fox Clan were filled with anticipation, as if they could already see the bright future of the Fox Clan.
They knew that this was not only the best way to repay Hua Qiang for saving their lives, but also a rare opportunity for the Fox Clan to rise.
