Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 918: Chapter 918: First Step of Escape Plan!

Tang Li Xue instantly smiled brightly like a blossoming flower after she heard the Third Princeʼs words.

Who does not like something given for free, right?

Anyway, these people did it to please the Third Prince, so Tang Li Xue received all the gifts without any feelings of burden.

After thanking the people for their gifts and saying some pleasantries, Tang Li Xue followed the Third Prince to tour around the third area.

To be honest, the buildings and decorations here almost blinded Tang Li Xueʼs poor fox eyes.

From the dazzling gold pillars, tiles and walls made from spirit stones, all kinds of decorations made from rare materials such as Mysterious Black Silver Iron, Heaven Meteorite Stone, Condensed Yang Crystal, and so on...

If no one was watching here, she might have already taken out her [Sword of Disaster] and dismantled all of them, then stuffed them all into her space treasures!

Oh, right... Her [Sword of Disaster] was actually with Xiʼer right now.

ʼOh, well, letʼs just forget it for now.ʼ Despite thinking that, but her topaz blue eyes were still glued to those tiles, walls, and decorations.

This place should have been made by the Imperial and Aristocratic families by pooling their money together.

Even the Imperial Palace was not as luxurious as this place... Err, well, maybe the Emperorʼs courtyard and his harem were more luxurious than this place, but Tang Li Xue had never seen that place yet, so she was not sure about it yet.

Tang Li Xue could only silently lament that the difference between the Lightwind Continent and this Azure Mist Continent was actually this vast.

Even if all virtuous sects in Lightwind Continent pooled their money and treasures together, they might not be able to build a place as luxurious as this place.

Most of the rare precious treasures in this third area were not sold for spirit stones or Yuan Coins, but they wanted to exchange them for other rare precious treasures.

For example, someone was selling the rare and precious Seven Treasure Fruit, but he wanted to exchange it for a lifespan-extending treasure.

Another example was someone selling Yang Vein Flower for ten drops of Immortal Spirit Dew.

Tang Li Xue secretly salivated when she saw their precious treasures, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to get them.

Even if the Third Prince wanted to get those precious treasures for Tang Li Xue, it might take a while for him to find what they wanted to exchange.

Not to mention the Third Prince did not have time for that in his current situation because he was really too busy preparing for the last fight for the throne.

Although they did not buy or trade anything in this third area, but it was truly an eye-opener for Tang Li Xue when she saw the dazzling treasures displayed by those people from the Royal Family and aristocratic families.

Every last one of them was actually not that much inferior compared to the rewards she obtained in the Foxes Hunting Festival.

Of course, it was also because she did not even enter the top 10 of the Foxes Hunting Festival, and she did not know what kind of precious prize the top 10 foxes got.

After the sky almost turned dark, the Third Prince treated Tang Li Xue to eat at the luxurious restaurant in the third area where all the people with high status gathered and chatted together.

Tang Li Xue did not know anyone there, so mostly just responded to their polite greetings with pleasantries or ate the food silently.

However, Tang Li Xue was still secretly despising their bootlicking behavior. These people were definitely the type of people who smiled kindly in front of you, but they would stab at your back mercilessly the moment you showed your weakness.

They might be flattering the Third Prince to the sky right now, but when they met the Second Prince tomorrow, they would surely also do the same to him.

ʼWhat do you call people like them... Err, fence-sitters? Sycophants? Anyway, it would be best if I did not have any contact with these people. It would be bad if they recognized me when I escaped later.ʼ Tang Li Xue thought in her mind.

The Third Prince bid farewell to everyone as he led Tang Li Xue back to their Imperial Familyʼs carriage.

But when they returned to the crowded first area, someone actually rushed toward their group all of a sudden!

BAANG~!

Despite so many guards around them, that person could skillfully avoid being blocked or touched by so many guards, then that person crashed into Tang Li Xue quite hard, but she quickly ran away and blended into the crowd.

Fortunately, the Third Prince hastily caught Tang Li Xue from behind before she could fall to the ground.

”Are you okay, Miss Tang?” The Third Prince asked in a worried tone.

”It is okay. I am all right.” Tang Li Xue replied while smiling thankfully at the Third Prince.

The Third Prince frowned displeasantly and asked: ”Should I help you catch that person and teach him a lesson?”

”Thank you for Your Highness Third Princeʼs kindness, but I think there is no need to do that far. Maybe that person has something very urgent to do.” Tang Li Xue kindly refused the Third Princeʼs idea.

The Third Prince patted Tang Li Xueʼs head gently and praised her with a satisfied smile on his handsome face: ”Miss Tang is really too kind, but you better be more careful since there are many bad people out there. You would cry in regret if they took advantage of your kindness

someday.”

Tang Li Xue pushed the Third Princeʼs hand away while secretly sighing in relief.

It would be bad if the Third Prince insisted on catching that person because that person was actually Xiʼer!

No one noticed it, but when Xiʼer deliberately bumped into her, she secretly shoved the space pouch back into Tang Li Xueʼs hand.

Xiʼer already put many items that Tang Li Xue told her to buy into the space pouch along with the map of Imperial City, the map of Azure Mist Continent, talismans, pills, and so on.

All of these items were surely needed for Tang Li Xueʼs escape plan, especially the two maps since Tang Li Xue needed to determine her escape route and next destination first before she could make any further plans.

Tang Li Xue did not bother to immediately check the content of the space pouch yet as she silently put the space pouch into her long sleeve before anyone noticed it.

Meanwhile, Xiʼer was feeling very nervous right now because she sensed several powerful divine senses at the level of high-rank Nascent Soul Stage instantly locked at her the moment she sneaked past the guards just now.

If she made any suspicious movement, those high-rank Nascent Soul Stage masters would have already besieged her before she could get close to Tang Li Xue or the Third Prince! Even when she did not make any moves that could threaten Tang Li Xue or the Third Prince, those high-rank Nascent Soul Stage masters seemed to be eager to catch her.

Fortunately, Tang Li Xue advised the Third Prince to let her go in the end, so those high-rank Nascent Soul Stage masters did not bother to pay any attention to her anymore.

However, Xiʼer did not feel sad wronged, or afraid.

On the contrary, she felt very excited!

Instead of being locked up in an empty and desolate underwater palace for who knows how long, this kind of exciting adventurous life was what Xiʼer had longed for a long time. ”All right, everything went well so far, hehehe~! Now, I just need to wait for Sister Xueʼs next instruction. Oh, right... Since I have free time, letʼs sightseeing around this market tonight!” Xiʼer giggled while skipping around happily.

.....

Tang Li Xue and the Third Prince did not meet with any more trouble as they returned to the Imperial carriage.

But before they could get on the carriage, Tang Li Xue suddenly ran to the dark roadside and

squatted down.

The Third Prince frowned as he approached Tang Li Xue and asked: ”Whatʼs wrong, Miss Tang? Why do you suddenly run here alone?”

”Meooww~!”

Tang Li Xue showed a cute tiny black kitten in her arm to the Third Prince and said in a

begging tone: ”I found an abandoned kitten here. Can I bring it back and keep it? Please~!”

The Third Prince laughed and replied in a casual tone: ”Of course, you can. I know that you must be lonely because I cannot accompany you every day. I hope this kitten can relieve your loneliness a bit from now on.”

”Really?! Thank you very much, Your Highness Third Prince!” Tang Li Xue smiled brightly while bowing happily to the Third Prince.

This cute tiny black kitten in Tang Li Xueʼs embrace was unmistakably Little Loki in disguise.

The purpose of doing this was to let Little Loki obtain legitimate status in the Imperial Palace, so it could wander around freely without attracting any unwanted attention. Tang Li Xue could only stay in the Third Princeʼs courtyard after all, and the Third Prince would not allow Tang Li Xue to wander around anymore to avoid her bumping into any trouble like before.

Even though Little Loki could also wander around freely in the Imperial Palace with its [Instant Teleportation] and invisibility spell, but there were many masters at Nascent Soul Stage or even higher cultivation levels in the Imperial Palace after all.

If those masters regard Little Loki as an intruder, they might catch or even try to kill Little

Loki.
