The Fox Ancestress Arrives Suddenly, the Witches Demand Answers

While Wu Chu was still in a daze, Sacred Tree suddenly sent him a message saying that the Fox Ancestress had arrived.

Upon hearing this news, Wu Chu paused for a moment, then smiled and stood up. "Please have a seat, everyone. I'm going to pick up a friend."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but wonder who this friend of his was.

With the help of the Mountain Protection Array, Wu Chu instantly arrived at the edge of Purple Jade Mountain, hundreds of thousands of miles away, and met Qingqiu Li had rushed over with a cold expression.

Upon seeing Wu Chu appear, Qingqiu Li's cold expression immediately relaxed, and she silently breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a hint of reproach, she said, "Why are there so many powerful auras suddenly appearing at your Purple Jade Mountain? I thought someone was attacking this place!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu chuckled and said, "If so many powerful auras are attacking this place, then what you should do is hide back in Qingqiu, not come here to be delivered as food."

"You... you really don't appreciate a good fox's heart!" Qingqiu Li glared at him reproachfully with her narrow fox eyes, then looked him up and down. "Since you're alright and have successfully advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm, I'll be going now. Goodbye!"

Wu Chu laughed heartily, "Since you're already here, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea first!"

Seeing Qingqiu Li's reluctant and hesitant expression, Wu Chu coughed lightly, bowed to her solemnly, and said, "Thank you very much for your care, sister. Although your actions just now were a bit rash, they touched me deeply. I have no way to repay you except to treat you to a feast of top-grade ingredients from the Daluo Realm!"

"Pah! As if I care about them that much." Qingqiu Li said as she walked towards Purple Jade Mountain, then added, "I'm going to see Houtu and Little Moon Spirit."

"Yes, I understand!" Wu Chu smiled and followed, asking, "How did you get here so quickly, sister? Qingqiu isn't far from here, but it's not exactly close either!"

"I initially sensed a change in the energy of your Purple Jade Mountain, thinking it must mean you're about to advance to the Golden Immortal! So I came to check. But I never expected that halfway there, I would suddenly feel so many powerful auras appearing on your Purple Jade Mountain..."

"Thank you so much for your care, sister!" Wu Chu said again.

If Qingqiu Li hadn't been secretly watching him, how could he have easily noticed the slight change in his aura brought about by the upgrade?

Qingqiu Li pursed her lips and said, "You don't need to be too touched. I just came to check the situation. If there are really that many powerful beings attacking this place, I'll definitely see if I can take you away. If not, I won't force you."

Wu Chu nodded and said, "That's the wise thing to do!"

Hearing Wu Chu's words, Qingqiu Li rolled her eyes at him instead.

Finally, Qingqiu Li changed the subject, asking, "Who are those people? What brings them to your Purple Jade Mountain? Are they here to freeload too?"

Wu Chu coughed lightly and said, "Eating and drinking is true, but scamming for food... that's really not it. You'll see when you go."

When Wu Chu enveloped them in the purple light of the array and instantly teleported them back to the sky near the Sacred Tree, Qingqiu Li was dumbfounded when she saw the dozen or so giant beasts below.

Especially the colossal beast that was nearly a hundred miles long made her eyebrows twitch uncontrollably.

Who on earth is this person who managed to kill such a powerful beast and bring it here as food?

While skinning the giant Houtu, Houtu sensed Qingqiu Li's presence, looked up, smiled at her, and greeted her, "Sister Qingqiu is here too!"

At the Summit of the Sacred Tree, the punk youths emerged from the Main Hall and looked up at Qingqiu Li in the sky. Being watched by so many eyes, Qingqiu Li felt pressure for the first time.

Curiosity, doubt, and a hint of hostility—not a single one showed any appreciation.

Wu Chu led her to the Summit of the Sacred Tree, cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, and introduced her, "This is the lord of the Qingqiu Clan, whose land borders my Purple Jade Mountain, and we often have dealings with them..."

The Fire-Passing Youth spoke quickly and bluntly, "Even if we're neighbors, can we be closer than Houtu's tribe?"

Wu Chu smiled and introduced them to Qingqiu Li: "These are all Houtu's brothers and sisters... Although they come from different tribes, they are all brothers of the Witch Clan."

Qingqiu Li bowed to them and said, "Qingqiu greets fellow Daoists."

Wu Chu pointed to the ingredients in the distance and said with a smile, "These were all brought by these Witch Clan brothers. We're really benefiting from the kindness of our older brothers and sisters this time."

The Ancestral Witch humbly greeted Qingqiu Li.

Qingqiu Li glanced at her and smiled, "Excuse me, I'm going to help Houtu!"

These Ancestral Witch gave her a somewhat unfriendly feeling, so she had no choice but to go to Houtu Girl's place to find out what was going on first.

As a result, her behavior only made the Ancestral Witch feel that she was treating them like family. If she were a guest, Wu Chu would have refused her request.

Wu Chu did not refuse, because he also sensed Qingqiu Li's unease and the inexplicable hostility these Ancestral Witch seemed to have towards her.

"Why are you all looking at me like that, brothers and sisters?" Wu Chu asked, feigning composure. "Let's continue drinking! Little Moon Spirit is busy in the kitchen!"

At this moment, the Fire-Passing Youth walked over, put his arm around Wu Chu's shoulder, hooked his arm around his neck, and transmitted his voice, "Brother A Chu, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with this fox? You can't do anything to betray Sister Houtu, otherwise we will definitely not forgive you!"

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Witch all nodded in agreement. Clearly, although he was transmitting his voice to Wu Chu, he did not hide this from the Ancestral Witch present.

Wu Chu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that although most creatures in the prehistoric Primordial World did not understand what love was, the Witch Clan did understand it to some extent. Even if they did not understand love, they knew how to reproduce, the most primitive matter of procreation.

Because of the development of the Witch Clan, apart from the original Wu who were created by the Ancestral Witch themselves, the rest all reproduced through primitive methods.

Perhaps in their eyes, Wu Chu and Houtu were already a couple, after all, Houtu chose this place without much hesitation when selecting her migration tribe.

In their view, Houtu's choice clearly expressed her feelings.

In their view, Houtu shouldn't have dragged things out with Wu Chu; she should have just knocked him unconscious with a stick and carried him back to the cave, and that would have solved the problem!

"Alas! My brothers must have misunderstood. My relationship with Sister Houtu is not what you imagine. I respect her as both an elder sister and a mentor..."

Wu Chu shrank his neck, saying things against his conscience. He had no choice but to lie; otherwise, wouldn't it imply that he was greedy and greedy, and that he was being dishonest?

At this moment, the Ancestral Witch Gonggong suddenly said, "Is that really so? Then I won't hold back! I've liked Houtu for a long time!"

"..."

Not only Wu Chu was stunned, but the other Ancestral Witch also stared blankly at Gonggong.
