Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 957 Aftermath!

.....

Meantime, at the Lightwind Continent, Instructor Mei Lan was currently having a great headache because of Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Yan Fei.

”You three are really daring and foolish! Even the foxes from the Investigation Department still cannot find any clue about Little Xueʼs whereabouts. How could you possibly think that you can do it better than those investigation experts?!” Instructor Mei Lan scolded the three of them.

Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Yan Fei could only lower their head in guilt since they tried to sneak out of the Myriad Foxes Academy without anyoneʼs permission.

Of course, they knew that they might not be able to find any clue about Tang Li Xueʼs whereabouts, even if they went to the location of the previously collapsed secret realm, but they felt that they could not just sit and wait for Tang Li Xue to come back home on her own when they knew that Tang Li Xue might be in a great danger right now.

Instructor Mei Lan knew the feelings of these three very well, so she actually did not blame them much.

Instructor Mei Lan sighed helplessly and finally gave up to their stubbornness: ”Forget it. Even if I force you three to go back to Myriad Foxes Academy now, you all will definitely try to find a way to sneak out again later.”

Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Yan Fei immediately raised their head with bright smiles on their faces.

Then Instructor Mei Lan quickly warned them in a stern tone: ”First, the current situation outside is too chaotic and dangerous. The war between our Beast Race and Human Race has become much more violent after the Garden Cityʼs incident.”

”Thus, you all have to follow me closely and never make any rash move without my instruction from now on, do you get it?” Instructor Mei Lan glared strictly at Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Yan Fei.

”Understood, Instructor Lan~!” The three of them nodded with serious expressions.

”Second, we clearly cannot keep wasting our time to aimlessly search for Little Xueʼs whereabouts, so I will give you all one month of time. If we still cannot find any clue about Little Xueʼs whereabouts after one month, then we have to return to Myriad Foxes Academy.” Instructor Mei Lan mentioned another requirement.

”Ah? Only one month? That is too short, Instructor Lan!” Bingbing frowned deeply and complained dejectedly.

”That is right! What can we find in just one month?!” Yan Fei also unhappily expressed her objection.

”I think we have to search for at least one year before...” Silly Fox added in an agitated tone.

”At most three months! After three months, I will drag all three of you back to Myriad Foxes Academy, even if I have to use force!” Instructor Mei Lan backed down a little and extended the search time, but she also expressed that she would not accept any refusal after the time was up.

”Okay then, three months...” Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Yan Fei could only accept Instructor Mei Lanʼs conditions with resignation.

In fact, Instructor Mei Lan did not expect much from Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Yan Fei.

Even the expert investigators from the Fox Clan had failed to find any clue about Tang Li Xueʼs whereabouts after searching non-stop for these few days, so how could rookie investigators like Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Yan Fei find anything useful there?!

Despite that, she still decided to give some chances to Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Yan Fei so they would not do anything rash like this in the future without her permission.

Instructor Mei Lan herself was actually not remaining idle in these few days.

She had already done whatever she could to find Tang Li Xue, such as finding the foxes with divination ability, checking if anyone accidentally found missing people or foxes, and so on.

After eliminating all possibilities, Instructor Mei Lan finally deduced that Tang Li Xue might not be on this Lightwind Continent anymore.

It was impossible for Tang Li Xue not to leave any clue behind as if she was disappearing out of thin air.

The Fox Clanʼs information network in Lightwind Continent was impeccable.

Even finding out the color of the emperorʼs underwear was easy for them to do.

In short, if Tang Li Xue was truly still alive somewhere in this Lightwind Continent, their Fox Clan could have already found some clue about her whereabouts by now.

ʼNot in the Lightwind Continent, huh... The question right now is where she currently is! Donʼt tell me that Little Xue is still trapped somewhere in the remains of the collapsed Secret Realm?! If that really happened, then how could we find and save her?!ʼ Instructor Mei Lan thought agitatedly while rubbing her forehead to ease her headache.

.....

While Instructor Mei Lan, Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Yan Fei were heading to the location of the previously collapsed secret realm in order to find any clue about Tang Li Xueʼs whereabouts, the situation in the Capital City of the Great Wei Dynasty was actually being turned upside down by Tang Li Xue!

One of the guardians of the Spirit Hall in the Imperial Palace quickly noticed that the Second Princeʼs Life Lamp had gone out!

”No, how could it be?! His Highness Second Princeʼs Life Lamp had snuffed out!” He shouted out loud in panic, shock, and disbelief.

”Wha... What did you just say?!” The other guardians hastily came closer to check the Life lampsʼ altar and found out that the Second Princeʼs Life Lamp had really gone out!

”This... This is... Quick, tell the ancestor... No, we have to tell His Majesty the Emperor about this first! Do it as soon as possible! Donʼt tell anyone about this before we receive any instruction from His Majesty the Emperor!” The guardian leader tried to suppress his panic as he instructed in a stern tone.

This news was too big for them to handle, so they did not dare to do anything rashly before they received any direct instruction from the Emperor, but they did not know that the Emperorʼs current condition was not that good either.

Thanks to that, it gave Tang Li Xue enough time to get out from Imperial City before they could make any move to completely seal the entire Imperial City!

It also gave enough time for Miracle Doctor Xu to secretly return to his courtyard in the Imperial Palace with his protector so he could avoid being suspected by anyone.

Since Great Weiʼs Emperor was still in an unconscious state and could not give any decree, the Emperorʼs close eunuch could only give the instruction to do it according to usual procedures.

DONG~! DONG~! DONG~! DONG~!

The mourning bell rang loudly through the entire Imperial Palace and Capital City several times in the middle of the night, waking everyone up!

Many people thought it was the old and frail Emperor who had passed away, but when the protective formation was activated to seal the entire Capital City, they immediately realized that something was not right!

The City Guards and Great Weiʼs army quickly flooded the Capital City and checked all people one by one without any exception, then arrested all suspicious people on the spot.

Imperial Guards and Jinyiwei Guards also made their moves to investigate the cause of the Second Princeʼs death.

The entire Capital City was in great turmoil that night.

Some people were happy, like the First Prince, Third Prince, and the Empress.

While some people drowned in sorrow like the Second Princeʼs mother, Concubine Liu Guifei, and their family, the Liu Aristocratic Family.

The First Prince, Third Prince, and the Empress, along with Zhou Aristocratic Family and Lu Aristocratic Family hastily made scheming moves to secretly clean the people from the Second Princeʼs side, so their path to get the throne would be completely unhindered in the future.

In short, that night was fated to become a completely sleepless night.

Blood was spilled like a river, and fear spread to the entire Capital City.

Fortunately, Tang Li Xue had already managed to get out safely from the Capital City right at this time, so what had happened inside the Capital City was no longer her business.

Of course, Tang Li Xue still did not dare to lower her guard even after she managed to get out safely from the Capital City.

She jumped down from the trading wagon and sneakily ran toward the nearby forest, then she summoned Lucia out from her Systemʼs pet space.

Tang Li Xue hastily jumped onto Luciaʼs back and instructed Lucia to run further from the Capital City at her full speed.

Lucia dashed with lightning speed as she rapidly brought Tang Li Xue further and further away from the Capital City.

Luciaʼs speed was so many times faster than the previous trading wagon that it did not take long for Tang Li Xue to no longer be able to see the Capital City.

After they were already tens of thousands of miles away from the Capital City, Tang Li Xue finally dared to let Lucia travel by flying.

She also let Yaya, Little Loki, and Xiʼer out so they could relax with her.

”Sister Xue, why didnʼt you tell me that you had a close relationship with the Master of Yama Palace?! You should have been able to get out of the Imperial City easily with his help!” Xiʼer asked Tang Li Xue curiously.

Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes while replying in a helpless tone: ”I do not have any close relationship with him at all, okay!? In fact, he almost killed me in the Imperial Palace before!”

They leisurely chatted on Luciaʼs back as Lucia flew in the sky toward the direction of the rising sun.
