Chapter 937 “Di Cang’s Letter (2)”
‘Addressed to Hu Bud Wei, chief of the fox clan.’
These five words were a bag of mixed feelings for the fox chief because he didn’t understand who would still write to him from the palace. Ever since his eldest daughter tried to seduce the king, everyone from back home has kept a steady distance from his family and wouldn’t communicate with them out of fear of being exiled as well.
However, those emotions were quickly tuckered away as soon as he glanced over the content of this letter. The one writing was the king, that’s the name of the sender! In the entire race of demons, only one individual would call themselves the King!
“Am… am I hallucinating?”
Rubbing his eyes to get a better view, Hu Bud Wei crimples his forehead to focus in on the letters until his eyeballs were mostly bulging outward.
“His Majesty wrote to me? He wrote to me!” Downright sobbing in joy, the fox chief couldn’t hold back those tears.
He won’t lie to himself – his eldest daughter did commit a crime worthy of death a century ago. Drugging the king so he would sleep with her? That sort of idiotic scheme would’ve been killed in its infancy if the fox chief himself knew what the girl had in mind. But regretting won’t change a damn thing at this point in life so he’s not going to dwell on his daughter’s death. What he would do though was to grab onto this rare chance and achieve a great merit. Only by doing so would his family here be allowed to return to the Demon Realm!
“According to my informants, your queen, my wife, has now gone to the border. If she is to request assistance in any way, the fox clan led by Hu Bud Wei must offer aid in all possible manner! In addition to the first edict, none is allowed to disturb her unless sought out. If there are any violators, they are henceforth banished from the Demon Realm in its entirety and never permitted to return. On the other hand, if Hu Bud Wei, head of the fox clan, can appease my wife and earn her mercy, the currently banished branch of the fox clan at the border shall be graced with amnesty and allowed to return from their exile!”

In short and blunt words, if she is satisfied then I as the king am satisfied, if she’s not then you are screwed.
Gripping the letter heavily with all the energy he could muster in those shaking fingers, Hu Bud Wei got all red in the face from the hope presented before himself. Yes!!! The king is finally giving me a chance. All my patience and loyalty wasn’t for nothing! My family can finally return to the fox clan and take its helm again!
“You there, make sure my second daughter doesn’t find out about this letter. Do you understand what I mean?” The fox chief hurries to give this warning after remembering something important.
As the old saying goes, only a father would know their daughters best. The oldest had already pushed their family into this horrible state due to her whimsical wish of marrying the king, now he mustn’t allow his second daughter throw away her life for that dream as well. They both love the king and he knew that; therefore, he must crush that hope to avoid a repeat of the last. What’s more, he’s afraid the girl might try to harm the queen if news reaches Hu Mei’s ear, that’s not something beyond his daughter’s ability!
“Yes milord,” the red fox complies with a nod of the head.
Perhaps the news from Di Cang had made the fox chief’s mood exceptionally high because he was humming the entire way down the mountain. Unfortunately, his jolly attitude quickly came to a stumbling halt when an excited cry from the front forced him to a standstill.
“Father!”
Looking over, Hu Bud Wei could see it was his youngest daughter Hu Mei. In that instant, he didn’t show any joy, only a tense look with black lines running through his face. Without a second thought, the fox chief hides the letter in his hand before turning to face his own girl.

The father is too late as his daughter has already insulted the Queen. No more hope for this Fox clan,
