Chapter 2789 Divine Kingdom Ability: [Battleground Angel]!
If this were in the past, Kong Huan would not have hesitated to accept the Snow-Covered Fox envoy's love.
She was headed to a place she had never been before and did not have even a shred of a sense of security.
Once she married this Snow-Covered Fox envoy, she would be able to receive true protection and coverage that would not only benefit her but all the Alluring Foxes.
Until now, Kong Huan had only heard rumors about the Snow-Covered Foxes.
Based on the Snow-Covered Foxes' ranking on the Species Ranking, it was not difficult to guess just how powerful they were.
But now, she had managed to use her Alluring Soul bloodline to seduce this Snow-Covered Fox envoy easily and turn him into her tool.
Now, Kong Huan only saw this Snow-Covered Fox envoy as a tool she could use as she pleased.
Who would want to marry a tool?
Kong Huan was very confident she would be able to use her Alluring Soul bloodline to mesmerize more Snow-Covered Foxes into becoming her tools.
She would also be able to use her bloodline to attract the Snow-Covered Fox elites.
Moreover, attracting the Snow-Covered Fox elites did not mean that she had to marry them.
The Snow-Covered Foxes were considered a small species when compared to the other top 100-ranked species in the North Universe.
But to the Alluring Foxes, they were an enormous species with a messy internal structure. The elites both worked together and saw each other as rivals.
Given these circumstances, if she were bonded to a member of the Snow-Covered Fox elites through marriage, it would indeed enable her to receive his protection. However, it would also cause the Alluring Foxes to become implicated if this member of the elite fell.
Hence, Kong Huan had to think things through carefully.
"When the Alluring Foxes arrive at the North Universe, I will praise you in front of Sir Light Graceful Fox. I will tell him you are very enthusiastic about becoming the Snow-Covered Foxes' dependent species and volunteered to come to the North Universe!"
This Snow-Covered Fox envoy was part of Light Graceful Fox's faction. Although he could not receive rewards from Light Graceful Fox, he could gain an audience with him.
Light Graceful Fox liked the fox species that volunteered to join the Snow-Covered Foxes. He believed they had taste and were well-behaved. He disliked the fox species that came to the North Universe and began putting on airs.
In truth, dependent species were servants.
How could servants put on airs in front of bigshots of other universes?
The Snow-Covered Foxes would not do charity for nothing. There were many fox species who had failed to be compliant and had been taught painful lessons.
This Snow-Covered Fox envoy mentioned Light Graceful Fox because he was concerned the same issue would happen with the Alluring Foxes.
The love he felt for Kong Huan was unexplained.
When Kong Huan heard the Snow-Covered Fox envoy mention Light Graceful Fox, she asked, "Does Sir Light Graceful Fox like the fox species that volunteer to join the Snow-Covered Foxes?"
Among the Snow-Covered Foxes, the inferior members rarely recklessly discussed their superiors.
The Snow-Covered Fox envoy hesitated to answer Kong Huan's question.
When Kong Huan saw this, she whined coquettishly before circulating her Alluring Soul bloodline and repeating her question.
It was only then that the Snow-Covered Fox envoy answered her question and even told her of all of Light Graceful Fox's likes and dislikes.
"It's true. Sir Light Graceful Fox is arrogant and likes the submissive dependent species. He never treats the noncompliant dependent species well. When you come with me to join the Snow-Covered Foxes, you will have to find shelter in Sir Light Graceful Fox's camp."
Kong Huan listened intently to this Snow-Covered Fox envoy as he introduced Light Graceful Fox.
She now knew that there were 16 fox leaders, and each of them had more than ten envoys. These envoys would be sent out to the various universes to search for dependent species. Once they found them, they did not have to be acknowledged by all the Snow-Covered Foxes but would become akin to the private assets of the fox leader.
Cold sweat began dripping down Kong Huan's back when she heard that.
The envoy's words now were completely different from his previous claims.
The Snow-Covered Foxes' gathering of the fox species was seen as them trying to protect the fox species, and they were highly revered for this. Almost every fox species that had been pushed into a corner in a certain universe would think of joining the Snow-Covered Foxes.
But in reality, the Snow-Covered Foxes were the true devils.
A fox leader's dependent species was linked to the profits they received.
It was clear that the Snow-Covered Foxes were taking in dependent species to strengthen themselves. It was unsurprising that species that used this method of development could grow increasingly and endlessly stronger.
Despite her bloodline having reached Alluring Soul, Kong Huan still became apprehensive. There was no way that her beginner Alluring Soul bloodline would be able to mesmerize Light Graceful Fox.
Once they arrived at the North Universe, the Alluring Foxes would be in Light Graceful Fox's hand.
Kong Huan could use her bloodline to take control of this envoy and return to the East Universe.
But if she returned to the East Universe, she would have to face the threat of the Bloodians. The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves would definitely also try to take revenge on the Alluring Foxes for the Light Wind Wolves.
Frankly, these would not be enough to cause the Alluring Foxes to fall.
Nonetheless, Kong Huan did not do so because going to the North Universe and developing the Alluring Foxes was a task Lin Yuan had given her. There was no way Kong Huan could go against Lin Yuan's order.
Even if she defied Lin Yuan, an expert who at the very least had reached the Holy Spirit level, he still had two bodyguards who were definitely above the Holy Spirit level!
She could only ask Lin Yuan for help if she and the Alluring Foxes ran into trouble. If everything went smoothly, she would not be able to ask Lin Yuan for resources.
Winter had not only given Fan Lou a jade, but he had also given one to Kong Huan.
If she paid the appropriate price, she could use her soul to communicate with Winter through the jade.
Kong Huan was not going to trigger the jade. Instead, she intended to wait for Lin Yuan to contact her.
Lin Yuan had provided numerous resources, meaning he definitely had a plan to use her in the future.
Kong Huan was going to roll with the punches. When they were in the North Universe, she would develop the Alluring Foxes carefully while seeking out opportunities.
At first, Kong Huan believed she would be able to gain the Snow-Covered Fox elites' acknowledgment due to her bloodline.
But now, she preferred not to stand out immediately and catch Light Graceful Fox's attention. She did not want to be seen as a present Light Graceful Fox could use to ameliorate the relationships between the fox leaders. Once she received such a label, she would be leashed to the Light Graceful Fox's elites forever, and the Alluring Foxes would be shamed.
…
Lin Yuan did not know about Kong Huan and Fan Lou's circumstances.
It was true that they were two tools in his toolbox. However, Lin Yuan was in the main world and did not need to use these two tools yet.
Lin Yuan had spent the past two days evolving the Merciful Star Peony.
The Merciful Star Peony needed to absorb moonlight to evolve its grade. Hence, it could not evolve quickly, even with Lin Yuan's help.
Luckily, Lin Yuan was not in a rush.
Zong Ze and Gu Lang arrived at the Return from Faraway Mansion as agreed. Lin Yuan told them about how he could use his body composition to promote the ranks of spirit qi professionals.
Zong Ze and Gu Lang were astonished by this. When Liu Jie and Wen Yu saw this, they released their pinnacle spirit-fire aura.
The two of them were only one step away from reaching the Divine Kingdom level.
In terms of aura, their auras were even stronger than the Bamboo Monarch and Chef Supreme's.
Firstly, neither Zong Ze nor Gu Lang doubted what Lin Yuan said. Moreover, Wen Yu and Liu Jie's auras were the best evidence for Lin Yuan's words. Hence, Zong Ze and Gu Lang had no reason not to believe him.
Zong Ze and Gu Lang had felt that there was something off about Liu Jie and Wen Yu's auras during their meal.
Now, they finally knew the reason.
After Lin Yuan told Zong Ze and Gu Lang about the situation, he did not rush to help them increase their strength. Instead, he told them to stay in the Return from Faraway Mansion for a while.
Lin Yuan intended to evolve the Merciful Star Peony and Wen Yu's Elemental Paper first so the Elemental Paper could reach World Emperor/Divine Kingdom.
The Elemental Paper's increase in power would not only allow for improved delivery of messages but would also increase the speed of resource flow in the main world. Once the Elemental Paper was evolved, it would be easier to deliver resources from the Radiance Federation to the rest of the main world.
…
A month passed in a flash.
The Merciful Star Peony had reached Suzerain/Myth, and the Elemental Paper had broken through to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom and had attained its own divine kingdom ability.

Lin Yuan carefully scanned through the Elemental Paper's new abilities, exclusive skills, and divine kingdom ability.
He was very satisfied with the Elemental Paper's evolution. Even after reaching World Emperor/Divine Kingdom, it was still an excellent functional-type fey.
