"Wait! Young friend Chen Mu, don't rush off."
Before leaving, Li Chuanmin called out to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu turned around and found that Li Chuanmin's gaze was fixed on Little White on his shoulder.
"Young friend Chen Mu, may I ask what your relationship is with this person?"
After entering the Temple, the Little White Fox behaved very well. Although the three Temple venerables kept glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes, Chen Mu didn't think much of it. After all, it was rare to see a young beast that was so unafraid of humans.
She is my goddaughter.
Chen Mu said succinctly.
"Hello everyone, my name is Little White."
When the Little White Fox saw that everyone was looking at it, it shyly greeted them.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Chuanmin's eyes. Humans usually keep demonic beasts as pets or war beasts, but she never expected that Chen Mu would take a demonic beast as his adopted daughter. It was indeed very rare.
"In that case, I can rest assured."
If I'm not mistaken, this child should have Heavenly Fox blood.
Li Chuanmin smiled, clearly pleased with Chen Mu's actions.
"I'm not entirely sure about that either. All I know is that her mother is the Purple-Gold Devil Fox, and I've never met her father."
Chen Mu shook his head and said casually.
"What, the Purple-Gold Devil Fox?"
Feng Tianqing suddenly spoke, startling the other four.
"Impossible! The bloodline of the Purple-Gold Devil Fox comes from the Heart Devil Fox, which is the opposite of the Heavenly Fox, which is born with a pure heart."
If these two types of the Fox Clan were to give birth, their offspring would inevitably die young; they would not survive.
Although he was the weakest in cultivation among the Demon Race present, he knew more than the other Demon Race because of his noble bloodline.
"But she definitely carries the aura of Heavenly Fox, doesn't she?"
Su Banhuai spoke, his voice filled with doubt.
"Hehe, then there's only one possibility: it's mutated."
After thinking for a while, Feng Tianqing came to this conclusion.
"If she really is Mutated Heavenly Fox, the Fox Clan will definitely cause an uproar if they find out."
"You must know that the Heart Devil Fox and the Heavenly Fox have been enemies for generations due to their fundamentally different natures. Now that a Mutated Heavenly Fox has appeared, possessing both bloodlines, they certainly won't turn a blind eye."
Upon hearing this, Little White nervously grabbed Chen Mu's shoulder, worried that she might cause trouble for Chen Mu.
However, Chen Mu didn't care. He reached out and patted Little White's head to reassure her.
"Whether it's the Heart Devil Fox or the Heavenly Fox, Little White is now my daughter, and has nothing to do with anyone else."
If they dare to cause trouble for Little White, I will definitely not let them get away with it.
He was no longer the little boy struggling to survive in the Wilderness, but the commander of a nation, and no one could treat his family members with impunity.
The three people present at the Temple were all Demon Race, and they were naturally pleased with Chen Mu's responsible behavior.
"Indeed, given the influence of your Chen Kingdom on the Pan Emperor Continent, both the Heavenly Fox Clan and the Heart Devil Fox Clan will have to think twice."
However, the main power of the Fox Clan is not on the Pan Emperor Continent; they all have their own independent planes.
With the completion of the Heavenly Dao rules on the Pan Emperor Continent, more Fox Clan will surely come in the future. No one can predict how things will develop.
Chen Mu chatted with the three of them for a while longer. Li Chuanmin felt that he had a connection with the Little White Fox, and even took out a Demon Race artifact to give to the Little White Fox.
"This is a sacred artifact that I obtained in an abandoned cave when I went to fight in other planes in previous years. Although the runes on it are broken, its power is still considerable."
Its previous owner was also a Fox Clan. I think it would suit you, so please accept it.
As a veteran Venerable One, Li Chuanmin had participated in many interdimensional wars with the Heavenly Gods, so he naturally possessed many valuable items.
"Tsk... that's really generous."
Since Li Chuanmin had given a gift, Su Banhuai and Feng Tianqing couldn't very well not give one in return.
After all, the Little White Fox, like them, came from Wilderness Demon Race, and they would likely have dealings with her in the future. They wouldn't be stingy with their generosity towards such a talented junior.
Unfortunately, sacred artifacts are not something everyone possesses. In the end, Su Banhuai gave away a Demon Race cultivation technique, while Feng Tianqing gave away three spirit pills.
"Thank you for your hospitality, seniors. I shall take my leave now."
As I said before, welcome to the Chen Kingdom! I will certainly treat you all well. Goodbye.
Feng Tianqing escorted Chen Mu to the Temple entrance, after which Chen Mu entered the space warship, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the horizon.
"This child is kind, honest, and courageous, quite different from the people of the Haotian Imperial Clan."
Now I understand why Baxia was willing to become his close friend despite their age difference.
Seeing Chen Mu disappear into the distance, Li Chuanmin muttered to herself.
"Yes! You may not know, but when I first woke up, Chen Mu was just a Xiaoxiao Core Formation Realm cultivator. Now, only a little over ten years later, he has not only broken through to the Saint Level, but even the Abyss Devil Race has been beaten so badly by his Chen Kingdom that they can't stand up straight."
My biggest regret now is that I didn't investigate the reasons behind the incident before rashly attacking Chen Village.
I just hope that with the passage of time, he will forget about it.
Feng Tianqing sighed, looking very regretful.
"It's not entirely your fault."
"Our Demon Race has always acted rashly. If any of us Venerable Ones had been in that position back then, it would have been difficult for us not to take action."
Su Banhuai raised his hand and patted Feng Tianqing on the shoulder, comforting him.
"Alright, don't overthink it."
I don't think he's a petty person. As long as you adjust your attitude in the future, he won't hold it against you anymore, don't worry."
Li Chuanmin glanced at Feng Tianqing, then turned and walked into the palace.
"Thank you for your kind words! I'm going back to my spiritual practice too."
After the three finished their conversation, they each entered the palace and went to their own private spaces to cultivate.
" Little White, give me your sacred artifact, I'll help you repair it."
After leaving the Temple, Chen Mu piloted the spaceship and flew back towards the Chen Kingdom.
Regarding the news that the Heart of Pan Emperor was about to be born, Chen Mu felt it was necessary to tell Chen Hongjie. On the other hand, he also planned to change the research project of the Rune Research Institute and conduct some targeted research on the changes in the Rules of Heaven and Earth.
"Hey."
The Little White Fox trusted Chen Mu completely and handed over the newly acquired sacred artifact directly to him.
This sacred artifact of the Fox Clan is a golden rope with two small knots at both ends, called the ' Golden Rope ', a magical artifact of the confinement type.
After careful examination, Chen Mu discovered that the material of this sacred artifact was extremely special, with faint traces of Spiritual Qi remaining, indicating that it had clearly been used by a deity.
Although the Spiritual Power within was very weak, it was still of great help to Chen Mu's research. He quickly used the Eye of Runes to collect all the data on the Golden Rope.
