Chapter 600: Chapter 600: All Nine Tails Awakened

A child who could not even properly control his own flames. That was the day something inside Rong Yanchen completely shattered.

If his father could not treat him fairly, then there was no reason for that father to continue living.

That resentment slowly twisted into madness.

And madness soon turned into slaughter.

That very night, blood covered the palace halls.

Rong Yanchen personally killed his own father. Then one after another, he hunted down all of his brothers mercilessly.

Screams echoed throughout the clan grounds while corpses piled beneath his feet. He spared no one.

Only one target remained in the end.

The youngest prince.

The little cub who possessed the heirloom.

Rong Ye.

At first, Rong Yanchen did not kill him immediately because he wanted to retrieve the heirloom first.

But before he could act, his uncle secretly escaped with Rong Ye under the cover of chaos. By the time Rong Yanchen realized it, both of them had already disappeared completely.

After that, he searched desperately for them.

But all he ever received was one piece of information.

The child had died.

And the heirloom was nowhere to be found.

Eventually, Rong Yanchen had convinced himself that both were truly gone from the world forever.

Yet now...

The heirloom was once again hanging right before his eyes.

And the little cub he failed to kill had returned alive.

Rong Yanchen’s breathing became chaotic as his eyes remained fixed on the violet pendant. His fingers trembled slightly without him realizing it.

For the second time in his life, he felt the same crushing despair he had once experienced inside the palace hall all those years ago.

Meanwhile, Rong Ye simply looked at him coldly before slowly tightening his grip around the heirloom.

The next second, a terrifying bloodline pressure spread outward from the pendant.

The surrounding fox-beastmen instantly changed expressions.

Boom.

One after another, they dropped to their knees without control.

Even Rong Yanchen’s trusted subordinates could not resist the pressure contained within the heirloom. Their faces turned pale as their bloodlines instinctively submitted.

Then loud voices rang through the forest in complete unison.

"We greet the future leader of the nine-tailed fox clan!"

"We greet the future beast king!"

Those words echoed heavily inside Rong Yanchen’s ears.

He slowly looked around at the kneeling figures, then back at Rong Ye standing proudly before him with the heirloom in hand.

At that moment, Rong Yanchen finally understood one terrifying truth. How much he has tried to change the future, it all came back to the same point.

Rong Ye was extremely satisfied looking at the kneeling crowd before him.

For the first time in so many years, he finally felt a strange heaviness inside his chest slowly disappear.

As he looked at Rong Yanchen’s pale and ugly face, countless memories flashed through his mind. His father’s death, his brothers dying one after another, and his uncle desperately protecting him while escaping from that blood-filled palace.

His fingers slowly clenched.

In his heart, he silently whispered.

"Uncle... the time has finally come. Your Rong Ye will definitely avenge you."

His eyes darkened with coldness.

Then suddenly, he pulled Su Qinglan behind him protectively, completely shielding her body from everyone’s gaze. His tall figure stood firmly in front of her like an unbreakable wall before he slowly lifted his eyes toward Rong Yanchen.

A mocking smile slowly appeared on his lips.

"Elder brother... now you should finally remember your younger brother."

His voice was calm, but every word carried sharp ridicule.

Then he slightly lowered his head in fake politeness and said lazily, "Rong Ye greets Elder Brother."

The moment his words fell...

BOOM!

A terrifying pressure suddenly exploded behind him.

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock as a gigantic nine-tailed fox phantom violently appeared behind Rong Ye like a god descending from the heavens.

Violet flames wrapped around its massive body while all nine tails spread behind him proudly, carrying ancient pressure that almost made people unable to breathe.

The surrounding fox clansmen were completely stunned.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Nine... nine tails..."

"He awakened the true bloodline..."

"How is this possible..."

Shock spread through the entire forest.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had already declined for many generations.

Very few people could even awaken more than six tails properly. Only the previous clan leader had once fully awakened all nine tails in his peak years.

Even Rong Yanchen only possessed eight tails.

That was why everyone had no choice but to acknowledge him as the next heir back then.

But now...

A true nine-tailed fox had appeared once again.

Not only that, the pressure from Rong Ye’s bloodline was even more terrifying and pure. It was like the ancient bloodline sleeping inside the clan had finally awakened completely.

All the fox clansmen immediately lowered their heads even more deeply.

Their hearts were filled with awe.

Meanwhile, Su Qinglan was suddenly dragged backward by force. She almost screamed in surprise, but before she could react, a hand suddenly covered her mouth gently.

Her body stiffened instantly.

But then...

That familiar aura entered her senses. Her eyes widened immediately.

She turned around quickly and directly met a pair of beautiful eyes mixed with gold and another strange dark shade that perfectly complemented each other.

Her heartbeat instantly sped up.

Her gaze slowly traveled downward from his eyes to his sharp nose bridge, then finally landed on his slightly curved lips.

Her voice immediately softened.

"An Mo you’re back too..."

Before he could even reply, Su Qinglan directly hugged him tightly.

An Mo was slightly stunned by the sudden hug. His cold expression softened almost instantly as he slowly wrapped one arm around her waist carefully.

"Yes," he said softly near her ear.

"I’m back."

Then his gaze suddenly fell on the ring resting on her finger. His eyes darkened slightly before he asked quietly, "Did you use it while I was away?"

Su Qinglan blinked before immediately shaking her head honestly.

"No... I didn’t use it."

She was still confused about that strange ring Xuan Long had specifically asked An Mo to give her earlier.

But suddenly An Mo lifted his own hand calmly. His fingers moved beside hers. Su Qinglan’s eyes widened instantly in surprise.

Because on An Mo’s finger... There was an identical ring. The two rings looked exactly like a pair of couple rings. Her heartbeat immediately became chaotic.

She stared at him blankly while An Mo only smiled faintly at her reaction.

Then suddenly something appeared in his hand. A small snack wrapped in leaves. He held it in front of her lips naturally and asked, "Do you want to eat? You should be hungry."

Only then did Su Qinglan realize her stomach was truly empty. She immediately nodded obediently before taking a bite.

The moment she ate it, her eyes brightened. It was unexpectedly delicious. She did not even know what it was made from, but it tasted very good.

Meanwhile, in front of them, the atmosphere between Rong Ye and Rong Yanchen was already turning murderous.

But behind them...

Su Qinglan and An Mo were quietly eating snacks together while watching the unfolding drama like two curious beasts watching a play.

Su Qinglan leaned slightly against him while chewing before whispering excitedly,

"Rong Ye is so cool..."

An Mo glanced at the dazzling Rong Ye fighting against everyone’s attention before nodding calmly.

"Mn."

Then naturally, he lowered his chin and gently rested it against the top of her forehead while feeding her another bite.
