Raising a Giant Dragon in a Small Remote City! - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: The Nine-tailed Fox Clan

After coming to the side of the three-tailed little fox girl, Joshua immediately handed her a handkerchief.

“What’s wrong? Did you hurt yourself?” As he spoke, he helped her up and checked her knees.

After finding that there were no problems, he brought her to a candy store.

“Boss, give me a can of candy!”

Seeing that it was Village Chief Joshua, the store owner immediately took out the best rainbow-colored candy in the store.

“How much?”

Hearing this, the store owner shook his head. How could he dare to touch the village chief’s money!

“Village Chief, don’t make things difficult for me! Just have this can of candy and assume it’s my gratitude for what you’re done for the village.”

Hearing this, Joshua politely bowed to the store owner, then carried the three-tailed fox girl and left.

“Is this candy delicious?”

“Yes!” The little girl nodded gently.

After the three-tailed fox girl was held in Joshua’s arms, she did not cry or make any noise. Instead, she appeared unusually obedient.

“Why are you alone in this place? Where’s your family?”

The little girl raised her head and thought for a moment, then said, “I ran away from home! I don’t want to go back. I hate mothers and other similar people!”

When he heard this, Joshua smiled. He did not expect this little girl to be so daring and have run away from home at such an age.

After a while, he heard her stomach growling.

“Are you hungry?”

The three-tailed fox girl nodded.

She looked at the sun in the sky. It was time to eat. Joshua brought her straight to his residence.

Opening the door, the three women in the room saw the three-tailed fox girl and immediately surrounded her, taking her from Joshua’s hands.

Because they were all women, it was very easy for them to get along with kids so they quickly ended up playing together with each other.

Lena, who came out of the kitchen, saw the three-tailed fox girl and asked Joshua, “Who’s this?”

“I was shopping at the market just now, and I suddenly met her. Because she was especially afraid of the other demi-humans, the people around her couldn’t help her. Therefore, I went over to see what was wrong. I heard that she was hungry, so I brought her back. After lunch, I took her to the police station to see which family she was from.”

“I see! I thought she was your illegitimate daughter!”

Hearing this, Joshua rolled his eyes!

After lunch, the three-tailed fox girl quieted down and fell asleep while leaning against the chair.

Without a choice, Joshua had to let Lucy carry the little girl to the police station.

Soon, he got information about the identity of the little girl from the police station. She was the child of the nine-tailed fox family who had actually recently been kidnapped.

At first, Joshua wanted to hand the little girl over to the police station but the three-tailed fox girl began to cry and make a scene after leaving Lucy’s arms.

With no other choice, Joshua could only bring Lucy and the little girl to the nine-tailed fox village.

Not long after they arrived at the village, a few men and women of the nine-tailed fox clan noticed them and immediately surrounded them.

When the three-tailed fox girl saw the familiar people, she immediately called out their names in a friendly manner.

However, she was still unwilling to leave Lucy’s arms.

With no other choice, Joshua could only follow the directions from others as they went straight to her home.

It was a small house located at the edge of the village. When he arrived here, Joshua already noticed that something was wrong.

This was because most people would live in a place furnished with their basic needs. However, the small house seemed decrepit and there was nothing at all.

When they pushed open the door and entered, there was no one inside. There was only a spirit tablet on the table with a name engraved on it.

When they heard movement in the room, the door to the side room was opened. A very beautiful woman walked over.

“I’m so sorry! I had to trouble you guys to send Shirley back to me!”

After saying that, she bowed to Joshua and then took Shirley from Lucy’s arms.

At this time, the door was opened and a nine-tailed fox woman who looked very similar walked in.

“Shirley, you’ll make people worry if you run around! Mom’s health is not very good right now. You can’t let her worry about you all the time!”

Hearing her sister’s angry roar, Shirley immediately buried her head in her mother’s arms and cried.

Seeing that there were other people in the room, she calmed down a little.

She walked over to Joshua and Lucy and bowed deeply to both of them to express her gratitude!

“Thank you very much for your help. My mother’s health is not good so she shouldn’t be out of bed for so long.”

After saying that, she sent her mother into the room and hugged Shirley in her arms.

After coaxing Shirley to sleep, she went to the living room to entertain the two of them.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting. I’m sorry that Shirley has caused you so much trouble!”

Joshua nodded and said, “Shirley is still young and emotional. She will understand when she grows up.”

Out of curiosity, Joshua asked, “Is your family situation a little difficult now? If you need help, you can just tell me!”

Hearing this, she looked at Joshua’s clothes and finally realized that the man in front of her was the village chief!

“Village chief, I’m really sorry! I actually didn’t realize it was you!”

Joshua waved his hand and said, “Don’t mind it. We’re all people in the village so there’s no need for formalities! Just tell me if you have any difficulties. I can still help you with some small things.”

When she heard Joshua say this, she directly expressed her thoughts. “I want to rely on myself to overcome the difficulties. If possible, please arrange for me to work in the city hall! I promise that if you give me the chance, I will work very hard!”

Joshua originally thought that he would have to write up a request for help, but he did not expect it to be about this matter.

Recently, the city hall was still expanding and recruiting people. There was no need for Joshua to introduce them and they could just head there to apply on their own.

“The city hall has always been recruiting people. There are no restrictions on race. You can just go to Mortimer and sign up!”

“If the list is really full, just tell him my name. He will arrange it for you.”

“Really? Thank you so much!”

At this time, she remembered that she had not told him her name yet, so she immediately said, “I’m so sorry. My name is Ariel. Please take care of me in the future!”

After the matter was settled, Joshua left the small house and followed Lucy as Ariel led them around.

He got some interesting news.

Shirley’s mother was called Hannah. Her father was her clan’s chief but he died suddenly because of something. After that, her father’s younger brother had taken over his position.

With this information, Joshua could not help but doubt their chief’s character. He asked Lucy to remind Georgi to pay attention to the movements of the nine-tailed fox chief.
