After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

He Lanzhi slowly broke free from her memories and looked towards the eerie and gloomy environment outside the window.

Especially the huge, creepy-looking eyeball in the sky, which made him couldn't help but let out a long breath.

He really couldn't adapt to the environment of the demon world...

Could it be because he had spent almost half of his life among humans?

He Lanzhi looked at the pile of documents on the table that had not yet been approved, and with one hand on her cheek, she began to review and approve them slowly...

To be honest, he had no interest in being the head of the family, nor did he have the ambition to be the head of the family. The reason why he worked so hard to plan for the position of head of the family was only because he had no choice. He was completely forced by the situation and was pushed forward.

If they had turned a blind eye to him, had not secretly plotted against his life, and had allowed him and his mother to have a place in the Helan family... he would definitely not have fought for the position of head of the family.

But... instead of doing so, they collectively targeted him, making even the most basic survival an unattainable luxury for him...

If he didn't know that if any of the foxes inherited the position of head of the family, he and his mother would be killed, how could he have fought so hard?

Or maybe, if the old patriarch, his so-called blood-related father, could be a little better to his mother, he wouldn't be so resolute...

Thinking of the old patriarch, a hearty smile suddenly appeared on He Lanzhi's face.

In fact, the old patriarch did not die of natural causes. You know, with the long lifespan of foxes, he could have lived freely for at least a few thousand more years without any problem.

He secretly bribed the maid around the old master and put a chronic poison in the incense in the old master's rest room every day. This poison is colorless, odorless and difficult to detect.

The poison would be like a hidden venomous snake, corroding his body bit by bit, causing his physical condition to deteriorate, depleting his spirit, and causing him to fall into nightmares frequently.

Just like a blunt knife cutting meat, it slowly wore him away bit by bit, making him listless and drowsy every day, living a life worse than death, but he could not find the cause, and there was no antidote.

Even if they die later, it will only be considered a natural death.

This is what he, the so-called father, owes to both mother and son.

Although killing him with one blow would be more efficient and effective, it would be too easy for him... It would be more satisfying to torture him until he dies.

After a long time, He Lanzhi finally finished reviewing the documents, stretched out her body leisurely, and relaxed to her heart's content.

Compared to being the head of the family, being in this gloomy demon world, and dealing with complicated family affairs, he would rather stay in Qingyun Sect. Even if Xingxing doesn't like him, as long as he can see Xingxing occasionally, he will be satisfied.

Now, all those who deserved to die have died, and he has avenged his great hatred. After he has dealt with these important matters, he will hand over the affairs of the head of the family to Helan Yanli, and then he will return to Qingyun Sect.

Although he would rather give the position of head of the family directly to Helan Yanli, this is not in line with family rules and it is difficult to convince others.

Those forces that followed him did so because of Helan Zhi, and they chose to follow him because he possessed the Eye of Falsehood. If it were handed over directly to Helan Yanli, those forces would probably rise up in rebellion.

Therefore, he could only transfer part of the power of the head of the family to Helan Yanli, so that Helan Zhi could have the title of the head of the family...

To be fair, Helan Yanli is more suitable for the position of head of the family than him. She is ambitious and capable. Many plans over the years, including the establishment of power, were handled by her.

He was not worried that Helan Yanli would rebel after gaining power, nor was he worried that she would hurt his mother. He and her had already signed a Heavenly Contract, and if she had even the slightest evil thought, she would die immediately. As long as she did not want to die, he would not act rashly.

He Lanzhi heard a gentle knock on the door and subconsciously said, "Come in."

When He Lanzhi saw his mother pushing the door open, her originally fierce and ruthless eyes instantly became extremely gentle.

"Mother." He called obediently.

His mother rubbed his head gently, just like she did when he was a child: "Xiaozhi, I heard that you will be leaving soon."

He Lanzhi obediently let his mother rub his head. After a while, he said softly, his voice was very gentle:

"Does mother want me to stay? If so, then I will not leave and will stay by her side obediently."

He really thought so. If his mother came to persuade him and asked him to spend more time with her, he would not leave.

Although stars are important, mother is also important. He has spent too little time with his mother over the years.

His mother heard this and shook her head gently: "I respect Xiaozhi's opinion. In fact, I don't want you to stay here. You are not happy here."

"Mother, I..." He Lanzhi hesitated to speak.

"Don't be so quick to deny it. Although your mother is not a pure-blooded fox demon, she is also a fox demon. Fox demons are the best at sensing emotions. I can sense the pressure and inner desires you carry."

His mother looked at him, her eyes like a pool of spring water: "I know that you have been working hard outside for so many years. You are not greedy for power. You just have to be the head of the family to protect your mother."

"If you stay here, you will only suffer more. Xiaozhi has grown up. As your mother, I am very relieved, but I don't want to be the rope that binds your hands and feet. I just hope you can follow your own heart and live happily."

He Lanzhi smiled happily when she heard this: "Mother, are you worried that I will be worried about you after I leave and feel burdened, so you said this to me in advance?"

His mother also smiled: "Xiaozhi has really grown up and become smarter."

"But..." His mother suddenly changed the subject, "Do you have a favorite human over there? That's why you're so eager to go there?"

"As long as Xiaozhi is happy, I have no objection to the human-demon relationship."

He Lanzhi looked embarrassed and could only act coquettishly to get over it: "Mother, please don't ask. It was just a one-sided love of mine that ended in vain. He won't agree to it."

When his mother heard what he said, she immediately became interested: "Oh? Is there any girl that my Xiaozhi can't handle?"

"...Well, not a girl." He retorted weakly.

"It doesn't matter if it's a man."

His mother waved her hands and asked doubtfully, "Xiaozhi, you are a fox demon. If you like him very much, you can try using the fox demon's charm technique."

He Lanzhi shook her head: "Using the art of charm only temporarily creates the illusion of love. She doesn't really like me, so why should I deceive myself?"

"Besides..." He Lanzhi looked at his mother, "I have done many things that have let him down. It's a good thing that he doesn't hate me. How can I expect him to like me?"
