Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 399 Tang Li Xue’s Idea!

Before entered Tang Feng City, Instructor Mei Lan and the others already surveyed the surrounding area of Tang Feng City and decided where they should wait to meet with each other if they got separated and hastily escaped from Tang Feng City like what happened right now.

Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, Hei Yinghao, and the fake Crown Prince Feng were currently sat in the middle of the dim forest, only illuminated by the moonlight.

Making a campfire in this kind of situation might be the best decision in Tang Li Xueʼs previous world because it could warm their body and scare away any beast such as bugs or snakes.

But it was a really unwise decision in this Immortal World because it would attract many stronger wild beasts or bandits instead, so Tang Li Xue and the others decided to not make any campfire.

”Hei, why did your leader take so long to come here? She will definitely bring my mother back with her too, right? Hei, do not ignore me and answer my questions!” The anxious fake Crown Prince Feng yapped nonstop toward Tang Li Xue and the others.

But Tang Li Xue and the others did not even bother to pay any attention to this fussy fake Crown Prince Feng and silently waited for Instructor Mei Lan.

Tang Li Xue gently stroked at the heads of Little Loki and Yaya, who lied down on her soft and warm lap after she apologized and praised them for what they had done to help her escape from Elder Yang before.

Moreover, Tang Li Xue had so many problems swirling in her mind to think and ponder carefully, such as the mysterious scene with Elder Yang that suddenly appeared in her mind, her identity as the fox in human form that got discovered by Elder Yang, and Elder Yangʼs shocking secret that he told to her...

Which part of these she would report to Instructor Mei Lan later? Everything? Or she has to keep some of it as her secret? But she already promised to Elder Yang to never tell his secret to anyone before!

So, Tang Li Xue certainly did not have any free time to leisurely chat with fussy fake Crown Prince Feng.

Little Loki and Yaya were still small after all, while it was already past midnight right now, so they were already dozing and felt really sleepy.

Meanwhile, Bing Yi sat right beside Tang Li Xue and peacefully leaning toward Tang Li Xueʼs shoulder with a bit smile on her face.

Tang Li Xue was indifferent to the fussy fake Crown Prince Feng while Bing Yi always looked cold and unfriendly toward other people than Tang Li Xue.

So the responsibility for taking care and communicate with the fussy fake Crown Prince Feng was automatically fell into Hei Yinghaoʼs shoulder.

From Hei Yinghao chat with the fake Crown Prince Feng, they already knew that he was not alone in Imperial Palace.

They also finally knew that Zuo Hongzhuang was the fake Crown Prince Fengʼs mother.

The serial killer and the mastermind of all of these incidents were also the fake Crown Prince Fengʼs mother, not this burden… I mean the fake Crown Prince Feng.

At first, Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao wanted to go back to Tang Feng City and told Instructor Mei Lan about all of these facts, but Tang Li Xue immediately stopped them and warned: ”I think Instructor Lan should already guess something like this before and find some ways to deal with it. But whether Instructor Lan already guessed about this or not, we definitely cannot go back to Tang Feng City anymore for now.”

”Why? We can escape from them once, so we definitely can escape from them for the second time too, right?” Hei Yinghao asked with a curious tone.

Tang Li Xue rolled her eyes and replied with a mocking tone: ”Naïve! If we go back to Tang Feng City right now, we will only become a bunch of burdens to Instructor Lan and adding more of her jobs. Those Nascent Soul Stage elders are not a bunch of brainless people. We will definitely get caught by them if we dare to go back into Tang Feng City again.”

Tang Li Xue already had a taste of it and fought one on one against Elder Yang before. He was really powerful, and his cultivation was still only at Core Formation Stage!

If they were facing head-on against four Nascent Soul Stage elders without any sufficient preparation like before… Tang Li Xue did not even dare to imagine the result!

In fact, their first escape was only successful because of the element of surprise. They entered the banquet scene swiftly and escaped from there as quickly as possible with the fake Crown Prince Feng.

But they were still almost get caught by Elder Yang so many times if not for Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy acted as a hostage twice to get them out from that dire situation!

In the end, after discussed it together for a while, they finally decided to patiently wait for Instructor Mei Lan here.

Although they seem to be patiently waited and acted normally right now, but this waiting was still really painful for them.

This was only their first A Grade mission, and their opponents were overpowered them by several levels. Forget about four Nascent Soul Stage elders, they could not even defeat one Nascent Soul Stage elder without Instructor Mei Lanʼs help!

In the case of something worst happened like if their Instructor Mei Lan got caught by those people from Immortal Sword Sect, they might become panicked and do not know what they must do next.

Fortunately, that kind of worst-case did not happen.

After waited for quite a while, they finally saw Instructor Mei Lanʼs green-colored Wind Riding Bird flew toward them from afar.

”Sigh… Instructor Lan finally come. I wonder if she brought that Zuo with her or not? I really do not want to go back into that city again…” Bing Yi sighed in relief as she stood up and stared at the green-colored Wind Riding Bird.

When the green-colored Wind Riding Bird landed a few meters from them, they saw the unconscious Instructor Mei Lan and Zuo Hongzhuang on its back.

”Instructor Lan!” Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao shouted with a worried tone together and ran to check at Instructor Mei Lanʼs condition.

”Mom!” The fake Crown Prince Feng also shouted and ran toward Zuo Hongzhuang.

”Stop there! Let me check on their condition first. We do not know if there are some traps or poisons put on them, so we better be more careful. You guys better stay here and do not carelessly approach them.” Tang Li Xue quickly warned them with a stern tone.

The fake Crown Prince Feng, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao quickly halted their step and hesitated for a few moments.

”But Little Xue, it is dangerous for you too…” Bing Yi protested to Tang Li Xue, and Hei Yinghao also nodded his head.

”Hehe… are you forget what Instructor Lan had said before. I have more life-saving skills compared to you two, so I would be okay.” Tang Li Xue replied as she laughed confidently.

Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and approached the green-colored Wind Riding Bird to check on the condition of unconscious Instructor Mei Lan and Zuo Hongzhuang.

After using her [Extrasensory Perception] and making sure that everything was safe, Tang Li Xue turned off her [Ethereal Form] and touched both of them.

”They are okay. It looks like they were heavily injured before, but their injures already have gotten better. Instructor Lan might use the [Talisman of Regeneration +3] I gave to her before to heal their wounds.” Tang Li Xue sighed in relief after she checked their condition.

”Eh? What is this?” Tang Li Xue accidentally found a piece of cloth stuck on Instructor Mei Lanʼs tattered black clothes.

It was actually a white handkerchief written with blood.

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply but she still decided to read it.

ʼYou write that I owe you two lives, so they are my first down payment to you. But donʼt worry, my life is still yours.ʼ

Tang Li Xue crumpled the white handkerchief in shock and disbelief.

Because she previously wrote something like ʼyou owe me two lives now! Donʼt forget to pay it back to me later!ʼ on Elder Yangʼs white robe after she decided to spare him inside the luxurious carriage before.

”Holysh*t! So, Instructor Lan and this Zuo really almost get caught by him?! But why did he release them again? Is it because he wants to pay his debt to me? His two lives to trade with the lives of Instructor Lan and this Zuo?” Tang Li Xue murmured in confusion.

Tang Li Xue bit her pink lips in hesitation, but she still decided to keep this white handkerchief for herself and decided not to tell about it to anyone.

When Tang Li Xue wanted to get both Instructor Lan and Zuo Hongzhuang off from the green Wind Riding Birdʼs back, she suddenly got a flash of inspiration.

”Oh, wait… wait a minute... Isnʼt this a big chance for me?!” Tang Li Xueʼs topaz blue eyes were glittering like a pair of blue stars.

Tang Li Xue opened the quest log in her system and found that her quest was actually not completed yet.

”Defeat the serial killer by my own hands… Uwehehehe… Letʼs try it and see!” Tang Li Xue laughed mischievously as she took out something from her space pouch.
