"Is this the fox tribe?" Lu Fan asked with some surprise, "Then, doesn't that mean you are also a divine beast?"
"That is natural. I am only a beginner divine beast!"
Six-tailed said with a smile, "But my mother is much more powerful. She is a Nine-tailed Divine Fox, controlling the entire fox tribe, and is a high-level divine beast!"
"I see!" Lu Fan nodded. "It seems you saved me. Thank you very much!"
"You are from the evil race, aren't you? I can sense an evil aura within you!"
Six-tailed spoke directly, "My mother says that people from the evil race are not good. Are you also a bad person?"
"I... I shouldn't be considered someone from the evil race!"
Lu Fan gave an awkward smile, unsure how to answer. Being questioned like this made him feel even more flustered.
He was actually from the divine race. If he hadn't been tainted by the aura of the evil race, he wouldn't possess the power of the evil race.
However, that no longer mattered. Lu Fan could not return to the divine race anyway, and whether he was from the divine race or not was of no consequence.
"Your injuries are still very serious. You should stay here for now!"
Six-tailed said, "My mother doesn't know about your existence yet. If she finds out you've come to our fox tribe, you might be in danger. After all, she doesn't show mercy to people from the evil race!"
"Thank you for the reminder!"
Lu Fan nodded, feeling grateful to the Six-tailed before him. Although Six-tailed was a divine beast of the divine race, she had a kind heart. She had helped him even knowing about the evil aura on him.
"Six-tailed, what is going on?"
Just then, a cold voice rang out. A woman, accompanied by more than a dozen figures, approached Six-tailed, her eyes looking particularly icy.
"Mother!"
Six-tailed was slightly startled. "He is a friend of mine. I'm letting him stay here for a few days. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"If he were an ordinary friend, there would naturally be no problem. But why does your friend have the aura of the evil race?" Nine-tailed said coldly, "I've already told you countless times not to associate with people from the evil race. The evil race has never been anything good!"
"But..."
Six-tailed looked troubled. "But I don't think he's that bad. Moreover, he is injured and cannot possibly pose a threat to our fox tribe. Besides, our fox tribe is protected by you, mother. Even a powerful expert from the evil race might not be able to do anything if they came here!"
"Regardless, he must leave!"
With a cold expression, Nine-tailed stated directly, without any reservation, her eyes filled with chill.
This was the territory of the fox tribe, and they would not tolerate someone from the evil race stepping foot here so easily. That was why she acted so decisively.
"Mother, can't you make an exception!"
Six-tailed said with a wronged expression, "He is my friend!"
"People of our fox tribe cannot have friends from other tribes!"
Nine-tailed shook her head. "So, you don't need to think about it anymore!"
"Six-tailed, people's hearts are deceitful. You are still too naive. Be careful not to be deceived!"
An elder from the tribe spoke, his expression looking particularly solemn.
They had been in Beiyuan for so many years. They knew the situation in Beiyuan quite well.
"I know all of that. But he hasn't harmed me, nor has he harmed the fox tribe. Therefore, I believe him!" Six-tailed said earnestly.
Nine-tailed said no more, but her gaze turned to Lu Fan. "You have the aura of the divine race and the aura of the evil race. I don't care which tribe you belong to. This is the territory of the fox tribe, and I don't want you to be here!"
"Since you, senior, have said so, I will leave!"
Lu Fan said with a light laugh. "But please rest assured, senior, I have no ill intentions!"
"That's more like it!" Nine-tailed nodded, her gaze becoming more indifferent.
Meanwhile, Six-tailed shook her head. "Mother, I've already told you, he is my friend, and he is severely injured. If he leaves like this, he might lose his life!"
"What does his life or death have to do with us?" Nine-tailed retorted.
"I like him!"
In her haste, Six-tailed said it all at once, without any reservation.
Lu Fan stood aside, also slightly surprised. He had not expected Nine-tailed to speak like that, which caught him off guard.
"How is that possible? He is not of our fox tribe, how can you like someone from another tribe!" Nine-tailed frowned.
"I am serious about liking him!"
Six-tailed stated directly, "Mother once said that if I like someone, you will protect them completely. So I hope mother will fulfill her promise!"
"To keep him in the fox tribe, you are willing to go this far!" Nine-tailed frowned. "Do you know that you are the future of our fox tribe, and you will become a Nine-tailed Divine Fox in the future!"
"I know all of that, but if I can't even protect the person I like, what is the point of me becoming a Nine-tailed Divine Fox!" Six-tailed said earnestly again.
"Very well, since you have said it to this extent, I will grant your wish and let him stay in the fox tribe!" Nine-tailed said. "But if, one day, I find out that he has wronged you, I will surely take his life, and will show no mercy!"
After saying this, Nine-tailed turned and left, appearing quite angered. Six-tailed had grown up and no longer listened to her, which was the reason for her anger.
Lu Fan stood to the side, utterly bewildered.
He was threatened like this. More importantly, Six-tailed had threatened him, which made him somewhat displeased.
"I'm so sorry, my mother said that all for my sake!" Six-tailed quickly said, "Please don't take it to heart!"
"You saved my life, so of course I won't take it to heart!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "But what you just said..."
"That was a desperate measure. I did it to save you, so I resorted to this tactic. Please don't misunderstand!" Six-tailed quickly explained, her face showing embarrassment.
After these words, Lu Fan nodded slightly and didn't say much more.
Some things can be done, and some things cannot be violated. Six-tailed had even risked her reputation to save him. Lu Fan would definitely repay such kindness.
Meanwhile, within the territory of the fox tribe, the fox tribe elder frowned. "Leader, that person's origin is unknown, and he has the aura of the evil race. I fear for Six-tailed's safety!"
"It's alright. Although that person has the aura of the evil race, it's not emanating from him. If my guess is correct, it might be some kind of magical artifact!" Nine-tailed waved her hand. "Moreover, he has a righteous aura about him. He should not be a bad person!"
"If the leader says so, I feel much more at ease!" The fox tribe elder nodded and didn't say anything further.
Throughout the entire fox tribe, the leader of the fox tribe held supreme authority. Everyone was well aware of this, so they would never defy the decisions made by the leader of the fox tribe.
