Chapter 440: The Friendly Moon Fox Beast King.

The sacred land of the Fox Clan is the origin of all branches of the fox race in the demon realm.

The Moon Fox Clan was once considered a powerful branch of the Fox Clan because it had many artifact masters among its members, which gave it a high status within the sacred land.

However, the glory of the Moon Fox Clan has faded, and now there is only one beast king struggling to support the entire clan.

Since their defeat against the human race, the Moon Fox Beast King has returned to the sacred land of the Fox Clan with a small group of clan members, seeking seclusion.

Now, all the Moon Fox Beast King thinks about is how to raise her son well, leaving everything else behind.

At this moment, on the edge of the sacred land, a black-and-white iron-eating beast rode a fiery-armored cow, rushing towards the sacred land of the Fox Clan.

“I didn’t expect to end up inside the sacred land of the Fox Clan; this gives me a high recognition!” the small iron-eating beast grinned widely.

Xu Fan piloted the Daoist artifact small spaceship, having gone through countless difficulties and carefully avoided several giant beast race warships, finally landing safely on the demon race continent.

“This speed is too slow; I really want to take out the small spaceship and fly directly over,” the iron-eating beast muttered.

Then, a whip made of fire spiritual energy appeared in its hand, cracking it on the fiery-armored cow’s rear.

“Faster! You’re a Void Refinement stage demon, how can you be so slow?” the iron-eating beast scolded.

At this moment, the fiery-armored cow felt particularly aggrieved. You beat me half to death and didn’t even heal my wounds; how could I increase my speed?

If you wanted to ride me, you could have just said so instead of beating me!

Just as the fiery-armored cow galloped through the air, the iron-eating beast suddenly sensed the presence of a Fox Clan beast king ahead.

The fiery-armored cow abruptly tried to stop and change direction to go around the beast king ahead.

“Little friend of the Iron-eating Beast Clan, why not come down and have a chat?”

A gentle voice filled with a scholarly aroma called out.

Xu Fan, in the form of the iron-eating beast, frowned slightly. That voice sounded familiar.

At that moment, the fiery-armored cow was halted by a gentle force.

The iron-eating beast gently patted the cow’s back, signaling it to land.

As the fiery-armored cow touched down, a small door opened in the void ahead.

A very handsome Young Fox stepped out from the small door and led the iron-eating beast into the secret realm.

“Stay right here; otherwise, you know what the consequences are,” the voice of the iron-eating beast reached the fiery-armored cow’s mind, causing it to nod vigorously in fear.

“Brother Iron-Eating Beast, please follow me; my father is waiting inside,” the handsome Young Fox said gently.

Xu Fan, as the iron-eating beast, showed a warm smile to the Young Fox.

He already knew who the beast king was.

As the saying goes, in this vast world, you won’t gather with foes unless there’s a reason.

In a peach blossom forest, there was a pavilion where the Moon Fox Beast King had transformed into human form, dressed in white, waiting in the pavilion.

When Xu Fan first saw the Moon Fox Beast King, he almost didn’t recognize her.

How had she developed such an elegant, approachable, and serene demeanor?

You shouldn’t be training hard and filled with anger to seek revenge on the human race right now, should you?

Xu Fan, transformed into an iron-eating beast, sat in the pavilion with the young fox clan member.

“I have no tea here, only peach blossom wine. I hope you don’t mind, little friend,” the Moon Fox Beast King said warmly.

“Wine is great; if only there were a few plates of Spiritual Fruits, it would be even better,” Xu Fan replied, his adorable appearance making the young fox member laugh.

“I was prepared for that.”

As the Moon Fox Beast King spoke, several plates of Spiritual Fruits were brought in by a girl from the Moon Fox Clan.

“Thank you, Beast King,” Xu Fan said, grabbing a few Spiritual Fruits and stuffing them into his mouth.

While eating, Xu Fan pretended to be puzzled and asked, “Why doesn’t the Beast King live in the sacred land of the fox clan?”

“A noisy place like that cannot compare to the serenity of this location,” the Moon Fox Beast King replied lightly, her eyes showing no sorrow or joy.

“The Beast King is graceful,” Xu Fan said as he continued to enjoy the fruits, occasionally sipping the peach blossom wine and revealing a satisfied expression.

“Are you planning to travel through the demon realm, little friend?” the Moon Fox Beast King asked the iron-eating beast.

Even though the iron-eating beasts lived in seclusion in the demon realm, they often sent talented members from within the clan to travel through the demon realm.

Most of these talents belonged to the royal family of the iron-eating beasts, and it was said that the cuter they were, the purer their royal bloodline.

This particular iron-eating beast appeared to be a high-quality member of the royal family in the eyes of the Moon Fox Beast King.

Becoming friends with it might one day help Tian’er.

Though the iron-eating beast clan remained neutral, they did not prohibit their members from participating in the competitions of the demon realm.

“I was sent by my clan to experience the demon realm and also hopefully take a look at the Human Realm,” the iron-eating beast said while eating.

“Now that the spaces between the human and demon realms have been sealed, are you planning to ride on my clan’s giant beast race warships to visit the major royal clans?” the Moon Fox Beast King asked in confusion.

Well, I hadn’t even asked yet, and you’ve already given the answer.

“That’s exactly what my elders meant, but unfortunately, I have to earn my own way,” the iron-eating beast said with a pained expression, looking quite adorable.

The young fox clan member could hardly resist the urge to pet it.

“To earn travel expenses, it’s rumored that the iron-eating beast clan excels at both alchemy and artifact crafting. I wonder which one you are skilled in, little friend?” the Moon Fox Beast King asked curiously.

The young fox clan member also turned his gaze toward the iron-eating beast.

Xu Fan was already prepared and took out a jade bottle containing ten authentic demon essence pills, which he had casually refined on the way.

In the demon realm, alchemists were much rarer than artifact masters; each one was a treasure.

“I didn’t expect you to have such superb skills in alchemy,” the Moon Fox Beast King said in surprise, examining one of the demon essence pills in her hand.

This demon essence pill was enough to assist a Core Formation stage beast race in their cultivation.

With just this pill, this Transformation Stage iron-eating beast could freely roam among the major royal clans of the beast race.

“I only learned a bit of alchemy from the elders in my clan; it’s nothing much,” Xu Fan replied, finishing the last of the Spiritual Fruits on the plate.

The Moon Fox Beast King subtly glanced at the young fox clan member.

The young fox clan member stepped back, and shortly after, he brought in a plate of even higher quality Spiritual Fruits.

“Haha, we’ve talked for so long, yet I still don’t know your name, little friend,” the Moon Fox Beast King remarked.

“You can call me Nèndié,” Xu Fan casually replied before continuing to snack on the fruits.

“Nèndié, what a strange name.”

“It was given by the elders in my clan; there’s nothing I can do about it,” Xu Fan said, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

“I still don’t know the name of the Beast King.”

“I am the beast king of the Moon Fox Clan, and this is my little son Tian’er,” the Moon Fox Beast King said kindly, looking at Xu Fan.

“So, it’s the Moon Fox Clan, known for their artifact crafting. My apologies,” Xu Fan, transformed into the iron-eating beast, said with a respectful expression.

Your clan’s master craftsmen provide their services for free; if you’re not famous, who would be?

“That was in the past,” the gentle beast king said with a subdued tone.

She then regained her mood, and an artifact-level alchemy furnace appeared in her hand.

“Little friend, our meeting is fate; this alchemy furnace is my gift for Tian’er.”
