Chapter 873: Chapter 682: Wedding Invitation
The space rift is filled with a mysterious and powerful aura, evoking an instinctive sense of reverence.
Several special guests slowly emerge from within.
They form two neat rows, dignified and solemn, each holding valuable gifts.
The envoys are dressed in white divine robes, with radiance shifting at the cuffs and hems, embroidered with a pattern—a hand, palm facing down, partially cupped, with strands of thread seemingly hanging below each finger, as though manipulating puppets to dance, with an eerie beauty in the lines.
These are the envoys sent by the Hand of Creation, here to present gifts to the newly appointed Divine Fox Clan Leader.
The moment the envoys appeared, the previously lively and noisy scene suddenly fell silent, as if time had ceased to flow.
The guests are filled with excitement, their gazes toward the divine envoys full of utmost reverence, as if witnessing the descent of a Heavenly God.
It is a pure, spiritual form of faith!
Below, Shen Tang clenched her fists, suppressing the surging anger and murderous intent in her heart, ensuring she showed no signs of it.
An envoy stepped forward, offering a gift, "The Divine Hall congratulates you on becoming the new clan leader of the Divine Fox Clan. A small token, we hope you’ll accept with a smile."
Shen Li gestured to the attendant beside him to receive the gift, a perfectly timed smile on his face, "Thank you for the Divine Hall’s kindness. The presence of the esteemed divine envoys graces our Divine Fox Clan, I am quite honored."
"No need for formalities, Clan Leader. The Divine Fox Clan and the Divine Hall have always been on good terms, and the Divine Hall has kept a close watch on you," the envoy spoke meaningfully to the handsome red-haired man before him.
This young master of the Divine Fox Clan became famous following that battle; there is no one in the Ancient Clan unaware of it, even the higher-ups in other regions have watched the fight. The long-dormant Ancient Clan received immense attention once again because of him!
With his talent, it’s likely he won’t stop at just the Divine Fox Clan. With the Ancient Clan nearing division, he might even unify it in the future!
Whether for the Hand of Creation or other forces, forging ties with this new clan leader of the Divine Fox Clan is imperative.
Both sides exchanged pleasantries.
Observing silently, Shen Tang had only one thought:
This sly fox is quite the actor!
If she didn’t know, like her, Shen Li wished to shred the group of people from the Hand of Creation and feed them to the dogs, she might have really believed he was a follower of the Divine Hall.
Luckily, at this ceremony, Shen Li finally achieved a step of his plan, formally engaging with the Hand of Creation and gaining their trust.
The ceremony ended, and before the envoys departed, they even left an invitation letter for him.
Traditionally, new clan leaders endorsed by the Hand of Creation are required to meet the Divine Hall and internal high-ups to discuss future collaborations.
Not to mention, Shen Li’s talent surpasses previous clan leaders, making his importance undeniable.
The Hand of Creation places great emphasis on this. Their invitation extends not just to each clan’s branch, but to the legendary headquarters no outsider has ever entered.
Shen Li certainly wouldn’t miss this golden opportunity.
During her last visit to a branch, Shen Tang nearly lost her life; now Shen Li is headed directly to the mysterious headquarters—it’s far too dangerous!
She took his hand, saying with concern, "Brother Li, let me go with you. If they mean to harm you, at least someone can back you up."
Shen Li shook his head in comfort, "If you come with me, it will only make things look suspicious."
Moreover, if real danger presented itself, he wouldn’t involve her in peril.
Besides, he is now the new clan leader of the Divine Fox Clan, with countless eyes watching him overtly and covertly. Even if the Hand of Creation wishes him harm, they wouldn’t choose this time.
To both sides, this is a probe.
Nothing will happen to him.
Seeing Shen Tang still uneasy, Shen Li let out a gentle sigh, embraced her, and kissed her forehead tenderly, "Without risking the tiger’s den, how could one obtain the tiger cub? If things go awry, I will retreat; doesn’t Xiao Tang’er believe in me?"
After much reassurance, Shen Tang finally agreed to let him go, with the condition he must report back regularly! Absolutely no sudden disappearances!
She truly is fearful!
Shen Li agreed with a smile.
The two stayed close the entire night.
By next noon, Shen Li had departed.
Before leaving, Shen Li instructed everyone in the palace to take good care of Shen Tang, to treat her as he himself would, and even handed her the Clan Leader Token.
Even the oblivious could see just how much this new clan leader cared for her, treating her protectively like his own lifeline.
Though the clan leader hasn’t explicitly stated it, it is clear to everyone that this esteemed female is likely his beloved, and they will surely marry in the future.
