The power dynamics within the Delusional Domain around Dark Sun Lake were clear-cut between the Fox Beastmen and Snake Beastmen. The Fox Beastmen somewhat looked down on the Snake Beastmen, and the Snake Beastmen, not wanting to cause trouble, kept to themselves.
Fortunately, their lord was She Wang, a Snake Beastman, which made life somewhat easier for the Snake Beastmen in the Delusional Domain.
And now, among these Fox Beastmen, aside from the enchanting red fox, Hu Ling, and the Delusional Domain elder, the red fox Hu Bu, there was unexpectedly a soft, young White Fox female—Jie Ling.
After Hu Que brought Jie Ling to Dark Sun Lake, he stood far off to one side.
He was not Jie Ling's partner, but he seemed even more loyal than a female's actual mate.
Hu Ling regarded Jie Ling with the innate hostility one female might feel for another. "What filthy fox are you to come running into Dark Sun Lake? Don't you know Dark Sun Lake is She Wang's territory?!"
