10,000 years ago, in an ancient and mysterious sacred land of peach gardens, there lived a group of Hu clan with noble bloodlines. After cultivating for 1,000 years, they could transform into human form and become immortals. They also possessed supreme magic power and beauty.
One day, a major event happened in the clan. A man suddenly descended from the sky in the Hu clan. This man had a tall and strong physique and a handsome face. Even the Hu clan had unparalleled beauty, and they couldn't help but sigh. This man was truly a peerless beauty.
The man's name was Han Cheng. Ever since Han Cheng inexplicably came to the Hu clan's territory, he gradually understood that he could not leave no matter what. Hence, he went with the flow and set up camp in this paradise of the peach garden. Fortunately, no one here discriminated against him as a human. On the contrary, they got along quite well.
In the Hu family, there was no lack of beautiful women. Ever since Han Cheng arrived, there were many vixens who took the initiative to approach him. There were even some bold vixens who threw flirtatious glances at Han Cheng and pretended to wrestle to gain his sympathy. Then, they would continue to develop their relationship. However, regardless of their motives or how they pretended to be famous, Han Cheng would always gently reject them. He would never show any special affection or flirtatious feelings towards any fox girl. This made Han Cheng even more popular in the Hu clan. His status and popularity rose steadily.
One day, the Fox Clan held an election competition. It was held once every thousand years, and this year was another thousand years. This competition was not just to determine the survival of the fittest, but to select the new four elders and eight guardians. The Fox King would personally preside over the competition, and it could be said that the scene was absolutely sensational.
"Your Majesty, most of the contestants this year are the personal disciples of the four great elders and eight great guardians. Your Majesty, do you want to choose from the other White Fox races?”Fox One lowered his head and reported respectfully.
"No need. This king admires the people trained by the elders and guardians. With them inheriting the new generation of elders and guardians, this king is very relieved.”The Fox King said with a smile.
"Yes, then this subordinate will make the arrangements and prepare for the competition immediately.”Fox One bowed and left.
The arena of the Hu clan's competition that was held every thousand years had long since been filled with people from the Four Great Elders and Eight Great Protectors. At the very center of the arena was a circular platform. In the middle of the platform was a golden chair. On both sides of the golden chair were two red chairs, and in front of the golden chair were ten black chairs that were so dazzling that they were arranged on both sides. Clearly, these were prepared for the various Elders, Protectors, and judges.
"First Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, eight guardians, please, please, please.”The Second Elder said warmly and politely.
"Yo, Second Elder is really polite today. However, this little brother can't afford to be too enthusiastic!”Third Elder replied with a fake smile.
"I say, third brother, it's rare for second brother to be so enthusiastic. You're not giving him any face.”After saying that, the First Elder burst into laughter.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, can you not be so harsh with King Mai every time we meet? I'm really tired of watching you. At least look at what kind of occasion we're in today. There are also the eight guardians here, so I'm not afraid of losing face. In a while, the king will arrive. If the king sees this, how will the three brothers justify themselves? Hehe, I don't mind being scolded by the king. Anyway, I have thick skin. I wonder what the three brothers will think.”The Fourth Elder's gaze swept over the faces of the three elders and he nagged a lot. He wanted to suppress the smoke that had not yet begun.
Speaking of which, these elders had been at odds with each other since they were elected as elders a thousand years ago. They always found trouble with each other in the open and in the dark. Although it was harmless, it was also a constant trouble. No one liked each other, and this mockery was endless. Because of this, a good show was about to begin.
"Fourth Brother, since when did you become a peacemaker? I really couldn't tell. Didn't you always watch from the sidelines? Why did he have a conscience today? En, not bad, hehe, you have improved.”The Second Elder said with a smile.
"Eh? Second Brother, you can't say that. I've always hoped that we brothers can get along well. Don't accuse me wrongly.”Fourth Elder was indignant.
"Forget it. Since today is the election competition that only happens once every thousand years, let's not make a ruckus here. After today, we will give up our position to our next generation. Sigh, it's so fast. I remember that when we were elected, it seemed like it was only yesterday. Unknowingly, a thousand years have passed. Alright, brothers, let's see how our disciples will succeed in the election. Hehe, we old fellows will cheer for our disciples. Let's see how they will continue to strengthen our four elder families in the next thousand years.”Hearing the First Elder's words, everyone tacitly stopped arguing and quietly waited for the competition to begin.
"The king has arrived, the queen has arrived, and the princess has arrived.”As the guards shouted, the Fox King and his family arrived late. But it didn't matter. Who had the guts to complain that the Fox King was late? Wouldn't that be suicidal?‘With the four Elders and eight Guardians leading the way, everyone knelt down and shouted," Long live our king, long live our queen, long live our princess!" All of the White Fox Race members sincerely welcomed their king, queen, and princess.
" Everyone, please rise. Today is the election of the Elders and Guardians that happens once every thousand years. There is no need for all of you to be so polite. This King wants to see which of the younger generation are capable of succeeding the next Elders and Guardians. This King wants to wait and see. Hehe, please take a seat." As the King finished speaking, everyone took their seats. There were eight judges who also took their seats on the left and right sides of the Elders and Guardians. Just in time, everyone was present, and the intense competition officially began.
The White Fox race was skilled in all kinds of attacks and spells. Very soon, there were people competing in the arena one after another. They were grouped by the various elders and protectors. Hu Chong, the disciple of the Third Elder, fought against several people alone. He skillfully circled, hung, grabbed, kicked, and stabbed. His movements were like flowing water. He was ethereal and fast, which made people praise him. He had mastered his martial arts. Soon, the candidate for the next successor of the Third Elder was confirmed. Without a doubt, Hu Chong was selected. The Third Elder was very happy to see the disciple he had always been most proud of being elected and nodded his head in relief.
The election was still in full swing. In the evening, the election of the successors of the First Elder, Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and the eight guardians had come to an end. The new First Elder candidate was Hu Ling, the second son of the previous First Elder. The Second Elder candidate was Hu Quan, the First Disciple. The Fourth Elder's successor was Hu Shuai, the Disciple. The successors of the eight guardians were all inherited by their disciples and their sons.
The moon appeared and all the election matches were won. Finally, the next elders and guardians of the Fox King Class would receive their respective seals. The seals would show their status and management for the next 1,000 years. The jurisdiction of the 12 parties would be controlled by their respective elders and guardians. If there was a major incident, they would have to report to the Fox King one by one, and the Fox King would make the final judgment.
After the election ended, the Fox King ordered everyone to gather outside the hall to celebrate the successful completion of the election. Then, the fox girl offered immortal peach wine, and the monarch and his subjects drank.
"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, come, let's get drunk today. Hahaha, it's been a thousand years, we haven't had a drink together. Today, let's use this opportunity to let bygones be bygones and drink to our heart's content. How about it?”First Elder was the first to express.
"Yes, we'll listen to Big Brother. No matter what unhappiness we had in the past, let's put it all down from now on. Let's turn hostility into friendship and start anew.”The Second Elder agreed.
"Since that's the case, it would be too petty of me to say anything else. Alright, let's get to know each other again today and start anew. I, Third Elder, am not a petty person.”The Third Elder raised his wine cup and toasted.
"Like I said, we brothers don't have any deep hatred. We should have done this long ago. Hehe, I'll do it too.”The Fourth Elder laughed out loud. It was not easy. After fighting for a thousand years, they had finally turned hostility into friendship. Although they had never fought to the death, they were still exhausted. Hehe, now there was finally a truce. It was really worth celebrating. They couldn't help but take turns toasting each other. Moreover, they didn't reject anyone. The more they drank, the happier they became. The more they drank, the more they talked. They displayed the hurt and guilt they had felt for each other over the past 1,000 years on the table.
They were drinking happily here, and they were also drinking to their heart's content.
The newly appointed four elders and eight guardians were also taking this opportunity to bond with them.
Especially Hu Chong, he was the happiest today and drank a lot of wine. He had been waiting for this day for a thousand years. A thousand years ago, when his master had obtained the position of the Third Elder, he had secretly made up his mind that he would definitely obtain the position of Elder in the next thousand-year election. There was no other reason than that he was not a recognized member of the Hu clan. He was a descendant of his master. In other words, Hu Chong was the illegitimate son of the Third Elder and could not be exposed to the public. Therefore, the Third Elder had taken him in as his master and disciple. All these years, Hu Chong had been practicing spells and all kinds of attack techniques without rest or food. Heaven did not disappoint those who worked hard. Today, he finally realized his dream and became the elder of this year.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, it was already past midnight. Everyone was drunk and had their families to support them as they left in a hustle and bustle.
