Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 938: Chapter 938: The Cause of Extermination!

Tang Li Xue might be a bit disappointed at her current perfect level of the [Art of Concealment], but she was also happy because it meant her perfect level of the [Art of Concealment] still had a lot of potential for development in the future.

If she could freely control her seven emotions and six desires, and she could do anything in the uninterrupted neutral state without any intention or desire, then it means she can attack her enemies blatantly right in front of their faces without them even realizing it.

Tang Li Xue shook her head to clear her drifting thoughts while muttering helplessly: ”That is still too far from me. What I need to focus on right now is to quickly get used to the perfect level of the [Art of Concealment]. It takes too long for me to activate it.”

If it was before, Tang Li Xue could easily activate her [Art of Concealment] in an instant.

However, Tang Li Xue currently needed at least dozens of breaths or so to activate it after her [Art of Concealment] breakthrough to the perfect level.

It was because the difficulty of becoming ʼone with natureʼ was on a completely different level than just ʼhidingʼ her presence.

ʼWell, I can try to adjust it a bit. For example, I can hide myself with [Void Barrier] and hide my presence with partial [Art of Concealment] first, then after a few dozen breaths, I can finally activate perfect-level [Art of Concealment].ʼ Tang Li Xue thought as she tried to cover the current weakness of her perfect-level [Art of Concealment].

Despite that, Tang Li Xue was very confident in escaping safely from anyone with [Shadow Flash], [Void Barrier], [Thousand Myriad Faces]ʼs disguise ability, and perfect level [Art of Concealment].

Of course, it would be even more perfect if she could use her [Ethereal Form], [Twin Moons], and [Water Mirage], but unfortunately, her current body state did not allow her to use any of them.

When Tang Li Xue was in deep thought while heading back to the inn, she actually saw Xiʼer and the others who were also on their way back to the inn.

Tang Li Xueʼs mischievous behaviour immediately relapsed again as she sneered wickedly while staring at Xiʼer and the others.

Xiʼer, Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia were holding snacks in their hands or claws, and even their mouths were bulging as they kept stuffing their mouth with delicious looking snacks.

Tang Li Xue quietly approached Xiʼer and the others from behind with the intention to steal their snacks.

Tang Li Xue thought they surely would not be able to notice her because her perfect level [Art of Concealment] was still activated.

Unfortunately, Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia instantly noticed her before she could even get close to them.

”Nyaaoww~!”

”Yaaaa~!”

”Chirp~!”

Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia were very happy when they saw Tang Li Xue.

The three of them jumped onto Tang Li Xue to greet her, but Tang Li Xue quickly dodged them.

Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia instantly felt disappointed and stared at Tang Li Xue as if they had been greatly wronged by her.

Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes and explained: ”Okay, I understand your feeling, but you all should at least finish your food and clean up your mouth first. There are still so many food crumbs on your mouth!”

The sulking Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia jumped back onto Xiʼerʼs head and shoulders.

”Sister Xue~!” Xiʼer also cheerfully greeted Tang Li Xue after Tang Li Xueʼs perfect level [Art of Concealment] was broken because her Samadhi state of mind was interrupted by the trio Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia just now.

Fortunately, it was already night time, and there were not many people on the street where they were currently at, so no one noticed Tang Li Xueʼs stunningly beautiful appearance, along with her silver fox ears and tails yet.

Tang Li Xue hastily activated her [Thousand Myriad Faces]ʼs ability to disguise herself, then her stunningly beautiful appearance instantly transformed into an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

On their way back together to the inn, Tang Li Xue asked for the reason why they could notice her when she was approaching them using the perfect level [Art of Concealment].

Their answer was actually pretty simple...

Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia could sense Tang Li Xue because they were her Companion Pets recognized by her System.

As for Xiʼer, she actually did not notice Tang Li Xue at all when she tried to approach from behind.

”Aiss, how can I forget about that?!” Tang Li Xue laughed while patting her forehead in embarrassment.

After they went back to their room in the inn, Xiʼer began to report the information she heard from outside to Tang Li Xue.

Surprisingly, the most sensational news was quite hilarious.

First, Tang Li Xueʼs deception was actually successful, and the Third Prince really thought that Tang Li Xue died in the hands of the Blood God Cultʼs people.

The Third Prince was extremely sad by Tang Li Xueʼs death, but he was very angry and resentful toward the Blood God Cult since he thought they were the ones who killed Tang Li Xue.

The Third Prince immediately gathered all the support he could by using the Blood God Cult attack on Heavenly Prison as the reason, then he presided the Great Wei Dynastyʼs various armies and guards to exterminate the Blood God Cult all over the Great Wei Dynastyʼs territories.

Tang Li Xue dropped her jaw when she heard this news.

She took a deep breath and gulped her saliva to calm herself down.

”Damn, so it means the large-scale move to exterminate the Blood God Cult is actually because of me?” Tang Li Xue asked in a tone filled with shock and disbelief.

Xiʼer nodded her head and replied: ”From the rumor outside, it could be said so.”

”Isnʼt this bad? Would Mo Rui and Blood God Cultʼs people get angry at me? What do you think? Will they do something to us tomorrow to get their revenge?” Tang Li Xue murmured anxiously.

Xiʼer pondered for a while before replying: ”I do not know what they were thinking, but I guess they might do something detrimental to us behind our back on tomorrowʼs task. I think we should just abandon that task and run away from this Capital City as soon as possible.”

However, Tang Li Xue was still hesitating because she was very unwilling to abandon the task to kill the Second Prince just like that.

If this was only about Tang Li Xueʼs grudge against the Second Prince, then Tang Li Xue would have already decided to abandon the task and run away from this Capital City without any hesitation.

But her main target was actually the Earthly Desire Spirit in the Second Princeʼs possession.

This opportunity was too precious to be missed.

If her Phoenix of Pride managed to devour the Second Princeʼs Earthly Desire Spirit, it would evolve further and become so much stronger.

Her evolved Phoenix of Pride might become her strongest trump card other than Xiʼer, so their journey to the Frost Pine Town at the border of the Great Wei Dynasty would be much more secure and safe.

”No, it is too early for us to retreat. We should still have some chance.” Tang Li Xue stated to Xiʼer with a solemn expression.

Then Tang Li Xue continued to explain: ”It should be true that the Blood God Cult want us to lure out the Second Prince and lead him to their trap. But what we have to be wary of is that the Blood God Cult should also want to capture us along with the Second Prince tomorrow.”

”If we can somehow create a flaw in their trap and let the Second Prince fight back against them, then we might be able to become the fisherman and reap the benefits of their fight in the end.” Tang Li Xue ended her explanation and glanced at Xiʼer to ask for her opinion.

Xiʼer also thought that Tang Li Xueʼs suggestion was very feasible, but she still gave a warning to Tang Li Xue: ”That may be possible, but the risk will be very high. Are you really sure about that?”

”Donʼt worry. I am very sure about it.” Tang Li Xue nodded with a confident smile on her face.

The source of her confidence was undoubtedly the perfect-level [Art of Concealment] she had just mastered today!

After making their decision, Tang Li Xue began to discuss with Xiʼer about crucial matters such as their escape route, their meeting place if they somehow got separated later, and so on.

Their discussion lasted all night until the sun had set.

Knock, knock, knock...

Early in the morning, someone knocked at the door of Tang Li Xueʼs room several times.

Tang Li Xue and Xiʼer could already guess that it should be Mo Rui and the Blood God Cultʼs people who picked them up to carry out the task together.

Tang Li Xue quickly put the sleeping Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia into her Systemʼs pet space before letting Xiʼer open the door.

Their guess was actually right... Mo Rui, along with Elder Ming and several other elders from the Blood God Cult, were already waiting in front of their door.

”Good morning, Little Cutie~! Did you sleep well last night?” Mo Rui greeted Tang Li Xue politely, but his usual annoying evil smirk on his handsome face made Tang Li Xue want to punch his face so badly.

”We are also ready. Letʼs go now.” Tang Li Xue did not bother to say any pleasantries to Mo Rui and his people as she led Xiʼer out of her room.

Could Tang Li Xue and Mo Rui successfully capture the Second Prince? We will see it in the next chapter, so donʼt miss it~! (>w
