Reincarnated As a Fox With System

708  Chapter 708: On The Verge of War!

”Hello, I am Gu Shengxin~!” Gu Shengxin introduced himself while smiling politely at Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy.

”Hi, Young Master Feng! I am Ling Shuang. You can just call me Xiao Ling~! You are too handsome!” Ling Shuang cheerfully said and winked playfully to Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy.

”Greetings to Young Master Feng, My name is Zhu Yan. You can call me Sister Zhu.” Compared to Ling Shunang, Zhu Yan was much more reserved and polite to Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy.

”You all do not need to be too restrained. This childhood friend of mine is a nice guy.” Elder Yang happily muttered while embracing the perfect copyʼs shoulder.

But the perfect copy smacked Elder Yangʼs hand away while glaring at him in anger.

Elder Yang could only put on a helpless and confused expression.

Gu Shengxin, Ling Shuang, and Zhu Yan chuckled at Elder Yangʼs behavior, but they did not dare to laugh at him.

Previously, they thought Elder Yang was too cold and indifferent to everything.

However, they had completely changed their opinion on Elder Yang right now.

They concluded that Elder Yang acted like that to them because they were not close enough to him. Because Elder Yang was actually very friendly to his childhood friend, Young Master Feng Bai.

Gu Shengxin brought them all to the tea room and let the servants serve them some tea and cakes while discussing their next plan to fight against the Beast Tide.

Gu Shengxin was actually very anxious about his mother and little sister, but he did not show it on his face. He always looked calm, cool, and collected on the outside.

Unfortunately, only Ling Shuang and Zhu Yan actively discussed that matter with Gu Shengxin seriously while Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy and Elder Yang did not bother to think about it at all.

The perfect copyʼs mind was completely occupied with thinking about how to find out if Zhu Yan was really Princess Yan Fei or not, and how to woo her later.

Meanwhile, Elder Yang was staring at Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy while thinking about how to cheer her up and make her stop being angry with him.

Their discussion was really unproductive since Gu Shengxinʼs true intention was actually to attract more support from Elder Yang and his childhood friend, Young Master Feng Bai, so they could bring more people to support him against the Beast Tide.

Yes, Gu Shengxin guessed that Young Master Feng Bai also had a huge background behind him like Elder Yang, so he wanted to obtain Feng Baiʼs support.

After a few hours, the Gu Familyʼs guards had finished all of the recruitment registration and organized the wandering warriors and casual cultivators to act together with them.

They might have to face tens of thousands of beasts later, while their total numbers were only a few thousand at most.

If they acted rashly without good coordination, they would be swallowed by the Beast Tide in an instant and die without leaving any bones behind.

The army of human cultivators was heading out together from Garden City.

But only Gu Shengxin, Ling Shuang, Zhu Yan, Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy, and Elder Yang were traveling in the luxurious carriage while the others were only riding flying treasures like flying swords, flying discs, and so on.

When the sun was almost set, they finally reached their destination.

It was a green valley filled with so many beasts as far as the eyes could see.

The scene was too shocking for many wandering warriors and casual cultivators. Their previous burning courage and morale instantly dropped to the freezing point.

”Holy cow~! How many beasts are there?! We might not even finish counting them until tomorrow morning, right?”

”Can we even win against them? I mean look at their size. Many of those beasts are even larger than three-floor buildings!”

”Ugh, is it already too late if I want to take back my registration form and withdraw from here?”

”Fart~! You have already taken a third of the payment, so how could Gu Family let you just retreat from here right now!”

”But I... I still have a wife and three small children to feed... So, how could I throw my life here?!”

Just from those beastsʼ bloody aura and savage looks, most of the army of human cultivators already got terrified so much before they could even fight against those beasts.

It would be extremely bad if they fell apart before they faced those beasts, so Gu Shengxin decided to step forward and say something to them.

”Calm down everyone~! You do not need to feel afraid and worry! My Gu Familyʼs guards will be the vanguard and lead you to face those beasts!”

”They might look scary, but they are completely brainless. With our weapons, spells, and strategy, I believe we can defeat them easily!”

”My Gu Family will also increase the reward by two... No, three folds~! Even if some of you have an accident and lose your life in this battle, my Gu Family will make sure to give proper compensation to your family later!”

Gu Shengxin began his speech to encourage all of the wandering warriors and casual cultivators.

But Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy secretly snorted at Gu Shengxin while mockingly in her heart: ʼTsk~! He speaks so grand and generously, but he actually just wants to use these people as his cannon fodder. Who knew if he would really compensate their family later if they really died in this battle?!ʼ

The perfect copyʼs doubt was not groundless since no one would probably dare to ask the Gu Family for any compensation if no one from the Gu Family said anything about it later.

Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy stared at the valley filled with beasts, but her expression did not change at all.

If she had not participated in the Foxes Hunting Festival, she might amazed and intimidated a bit by this scene.

But she had already seen far more astonishing Interracial War in one of Foxes Hunting Festivalʼs games. Compared to the war between millions of foxes versus millions of human cultivator armies in that game, this scene was only a childʼs play.

The funny thing was that she was actually on the human side this time...

Elder Yang approached Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy from behind and worriedly said to her: ”Xiao Bai, I know this is only your clone, but you really do not need to fight against those beasts. You can just stay behind me and...”

Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy rolled her eyes as she quickly interrupted Elder Yangʼs words by saying coldly to him: ”I am not here to play around with you. You do not need to worry about me and just do your own job.”

Elder Yang sighed and answered: ”Xiao Bai, I do not even understand why are you so angry at me. You can just say it to me, so I can fix it later.”

Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy stopped paying any attention to Elder Yang and began to think carefully about how to impress Zhu Yan later.

.....

Meanwhile, the real Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Instructor Mei Lan actually secretly followed their group from behind.

The reason was of course because the real Tang Li Xue could not be too far away from her perfect copy, or her perfect copy would be automatically un-summoned.

Luckily, Tang Li Xueʼs Spirit Stat had increased by many times compared to before, so the allowed distance between Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy had also increased by many times.

At least, those Nascent Soul Stage elders from the Immortal Sword Sect who followed those groups of people would not be able to detect them.

”Instructor Lan, do we need to do something later to help Xiao Xueʼs clone?” Bingbing asked Instructor Mei Lan curiously.

Instructor Mei Lan thought for a while and nodded while replying: ”Letʼs go~! I will bring you all to greet the leader of that Beast Tide. All of you do not need to say anything and just leave everything to me later.”

Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox widened their eyes in shock and disbelief when they heard Instructor Mei Lanʼs words.

But they still decided to believe Instructor Mei Lan and followed her closely from behind as they headed to the valley filled with tens of thousands of beasts.

ROOOOOOOOAAAAARR~!

When their group approached the valley, many resting beasts stood up and bared their fangs at them.

But Instructor Mei Lan, Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox hastily took off their cloak to show their fox ears and tails to them.

Instructor Mei Lan took out her white jade identity badge from her space pouch and showed it to those beasts: ”I am the envoy from the Fox Clan. I have something important to discuss, so bring me to see your leader now.”

Those beasts instantly choked by their own saliva after they saw Instructor Mei Lanʼs white jade identity badge.

Then those beasts began to push and fight each other to escort Instructor Mei Lan and her three students to meet their leader.

”Wow, the beautiful vixens from the Fox Clan?! Look at their shiny and silky furs, so beautiful~!”

”Unfortunately, they are currently disguising themselves as humans. I really want to see their true beautiful fox form so badly.”

”Move away~! Let me as the most handsome beast here escort them to meet the leader~!”

”How dare you push me?! Do you want to die?!”

Instructor Mei Lanʼs expression turned dark, while Tang Li Xue, Silly Fox, and Bingbing chuckled at their amusing behavior.

What is Instructor Mei Lanʼs plan to help Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy? We will see it in the next chapter~!
