Volume 5 + Chapter 145: The Coronation Ceremony of Yue Liu

What appeared before everyone’s eyes was a young maiden of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, Yue Liu · Gitusezhuoya.

Unlike her usual attire of red-and-white shrine maiden robes, she was now dressed in the formal regalia of the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor. The lively charm of a young girl had faded, replaced by a dignified, sovereign aura befitting royalty.

The fox clans present all bowed in unison, offering their oath of loyalty to Yue Liu.

Representatives from various nations silently observed her, what they were about to witness would become a historic moment for Fox Hill.

“…”

Although she ought to have restrained her gaze at such a moment, Yue Liu could not help but let her eyes linger briefly on Xia Yi.

Their gazes met, and Xia Yi smiled gently.

The little fox seemed delighted, but as she had to maintain the composure of a sovereign, she quickly suppressed her emotions.

Surrounded by the fox clans, she walked slowly forward along the red carpet.

At the end of the path stood a towering statue of the Red Fox God. Beneath it waited the former Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, Yue Liu’s father, Yue Yin.

As he looked upon his daughter, his heart brimmed with pride and countless emotions.

The former emperor removed the crown symbolizing imperial authority and personally placed it upon Yue Liu’s head. This act signified, before the Red Fox Deity, the completion of the royal succession, the birth of a new Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor.

From this moment on, Yue Liu’s authority within the fox clan possessed unquestionable legitimacy. Moreover, as the priestess of the Fox Deity who had awakened the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline, she wielded not only imperial power but also divine authority.

Such a Yue Liu was, in essence, akin to the Red Fox God reborn.

“Long live the Fox Emperor!!”

The fox clans of Fox Hill knelt upon the ground, collectively paying homage to Yue Liu.

Clap, clap, clap.

Representatives from other nations rose to their feet and joined in applause, the hall resounding with thunderous clapping.

At this moment, everyone present celebrated the ascension of the new Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor.

“From this day forward, I have inherited the will of the former sovereign and become the new Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor. Beginning today, I shall lead Fox Hill into a new era!”

With surging emotion, Yue Liu proclaimed her declaration to all present.

“I truly didn’t expect Fox Hill to complete the transfer of power in such a short time.”

“Indeed. Not long ago, Yue Yin still held authority, and now he has handed everything over to his daughter.”

“It seems internal changes have occurred within Fox Hill, prompting the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor to alter his thinking. I’ve heard rumors that the Dragon Clan has been involved… supposedly they seek an alliance with the fox clan.”

“That must be nonsense. The fox clan regards the Dragon Clan as a rival, friction between them has never ceased. Cooperation is impossible, they would never bow their heads to dragons.”

Representatives from various nations discussed the matter intensely, showing keen interest.

With a new Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor ascending, would the fox clan maintain its course, or would significant changes occur?

This was a crucial question that demanded swift clarity.

The fox clan maintained relations with many nations, much like the elf race, and had even been planning a vast alliance to unite numerous races.

Thus, any change within the fox clan would inevitably influence the balance of power across the land.

Of course, not everyone was concerned with such grand geopolitical matters.

For instance, a certain unnamed flying mouse muttered inwardly while watching the little fox.

“This fox spirit is dressed so beautifully today, completely different from usual. She’s practically dazzling Xia Yi senseless… How cunning. Still, the fox clan and Dragon Clan have such poor relations that even if the two meet in private, as long as their nations remain at odds publicly, nothing can come of it.”

After the remaining formalities concluded, the coronation of the new Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor was successfully completed without incident.

Yue Yin exchanged a knowing glance with his daughter, understanding passed between them, and he withdrew, leaving everything in Yue Liu’s hands.

“Congratulations, Miss Yue Liu, on becoming the new Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor. Our werewolf tribe is sincerely delighted and hopes that Fox Hill will prosper ever more under your rule.”

A tall, heavily furred werewolf stepped forward, it was Alex, the Wolf King and chieftain of the werewolf tribe.

“Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Wolf King Alex,” Yue Liu replied politely.

“Additionally, there is a matter I wish to confirm…”

Wolf King Alex paused, as though gathering his thoughts.

“Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, the fox clan previously proposed to our werewolf tribe the formation of a grand alliance for mutual support. I now believe it to be an excellent plan!”

His deep voice echoed throughout the hall, ensuring all could hear clearly.

“Other nations share this intention as well. Since everyone is present, this is a rare opportunity, why not establish the grand alliance here and now?”

The fox clan had once approached many nations with similar proposals, with Yue Liu herself leading such efforts during her time as princess.

However, many nations had hesitated, choosing to observe rather than commit.

At the time, there had been no pressing need.

But the situation had changed, actions by the Dragon Clan had instilled a profound sense of threat in every race.

Whether weak or strong, nations now sought unity against the dragons.

“Yes! Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, our troll race also agrees!!” the Troll King shouted. “Once formed, the grand alliance can oppose that ambitious and malevolent race!”

“Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, the global situation has changed, we must adapt accordingly,” the giant representative added. “The formation of a grand alliance is now necessary and inevitable.”

Originally, the proposal should have come from the elves, with the fox clan taking the lead, much like the anti-vampire alliance before.

However, with the elves suddenly withdrawing into isolation, the fox clan was now best positioned to take leadership.

All representatives understood one thing clearly: the Dragon Clan would have no place in this alliance.

Its very purpose was to oppose them.

With prior groundwork laid by the fox clan and several nations taking the lead, support grew rapidly, becoming impossible to ignore.

“The Dragon Clan and the Vampire Clan will soon stand isolated. Once the alliance is formed, we can unite our strength and impose sanctions upon them.”

Wolf King Alex smiled inwardly.

“The fox clan will certainly not refuse.”

Everyone present believed this to be inevitable, merely awaiting the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor’s formal declaration.

“So this is what you all have in mind…”

Facing the impassioned representatives, Yue Liu’s expression remained calm.

Her next words left them utterly stunned.
