An idea that came to me on a whim, featuring my original character Su Bai. He is publicly known as Su Wan’s cousin, but in reality he is the clan head of a reclusive Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline.
The Qilin are not the only bloodline passed down from ancient times...
“Seriously, how did you use up your once-in-a-lifetime contract on a single trip out?” one clan elder cried, staring in despair at the young clan head, a once-in-a-century genius who rarely left home.
“My heavens! Who did you contract with? Who is he? Clan head, didn’t you check who he was before making the contract?” Seeing the boy’s black hair, dark eyes, and refined air, not to mention those unmistakable fingers, another clan elder felt as if the world had gone dark...
“How was I supposed to know the kid I picked up off the street was...” He was puzzled, but when he noticed those unmistakable fingers, he froze...
“It’s fine. We can outbid them. We should... be able to outbid them...” He broke into a cold sweat.
“Clan head! He, he, he... he’s a priest! Ah! You kidnapped their priest!” Months later, the elder kept finding the young clan head’s contracted partner more and more suspicious. Once his identity was confirmed, all he could think was... We’re doomed.
“I’m going with you.” Amid all the chaos, a certain child stood beside Su Bai, tugged at his sleeve, and said softly.
