Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: Calm Before The Storm!

Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth as she blushed even harder in embarrassment.

”It is eighty billion credits...” Tang Li Xue stated it again louder while she closed her topaz blue eyes and no longer dared to look at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang’s cold expressionless face almost cracked when he heard Tang Li Xue’s answer.

He even suspected that the Fox Clan was deliberately deceiving Tang Li Xue, so they could control her with that eighty billion credits debt.

A horrible scenario played in Xu Yang’s head.

The Fox Clan somehow got the news that Tang Li Xue had some connection with him, then they used an evil scheme to trap Tang Li Xue in an enormous debt, so they could use Tang Li Xue to seduce and control him.

The Fox Clan deliberately gave a mission for Tang Li Xue to deliver a very valuable item to someone.

But when that very valuable item was delivered, it had already been broken, which forced Tang Li Xue to incur such an enormous debt.

Xu Yang squinted his eyes dangerously and asked Tang Li Xue again: ”Did they treat you badly?”

”They? Who?” Tang Li Xue asked back in puzzlement.

”Fox Clan. Is it possible that they made you incur that much debt on purpose?” Xu Yang tried to inquire.

Tang Li Xue hastily shook her head and denied Xu Yang’s speculation in a firm tone: ”That is impossible!”

”Then how could you suddenly bear such a huge debt?” Xu Yang questioned with a tone filled with suspicion.

Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes darted to the left and right while her forehead and back were already soaked in cold sweat.

To be honest, Tang Li Xue did not want to tell anything about it because it all started from her trying to repair her [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].

[Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] was one of her biggest hidden trump cards that could attract anyone’s coveting, so the fewer people who knew about it, the better it would be.

But Xu Yang clearly would not let Tang Li Xue go just like that.

”I understand. You cannot say it to me, right? So, the Fox Clan is really using such a despicable means to...” Xu Yang concluded from Tang Li Xue’s fidgeting reaction.

Tang Li Xue hastily interrupted Xu Yang halfway and explained: ”No, it is definitely not Fox Clan’s fault! Well, it was all because of my own fault.”

”Uhh, it all began when I... borrowed a room to fix my treasure, then... an accident happened and...” Tang Li Xue’s voice became smaller and smaller until it was almost inaudible in shame.

”And then what?” Xu Yang curiously asked.

”And then... err, the entire building was broken and almost collapsed.” Tang Li Xue lowered her head and covered her blushing face in embarrassment.

Xu Yang’s mouth twitched slightly in amazement mixed with disbelief.

”You were trying to fix your treasure, but you ended up almost tearing down the entire building? Are you sure you are really trying to fix your treasure, not detonating it?” Xu Yang inquired suspiciously.

Tang Li Xue: ”.....”

She also did not expect something like that to happen, okay?! So, could you please stop bringing that up again?!

Could you not see that she had already been almost dying in embarrassment?!

Tang Li Xue secretly mocked Xu Yang in her heart by saying in her heart: ’You damn insensitive cold guy! No wonder that you are still single until now!’

”Pffft~! Bwahahaha~! You... You are truly a unique lady! Hahahaha~!” The Taoist uncle, who had heard everything, finally could not bear it anymore and laughed out loud.

Xu Yang did not laugh at Tang Li Xue and rubbed his forehead instead to ease his headache.

Xu Yang had to admit that he really could not read Tang Li Xue at all.

Everything that happened to her was so absurd that Xu Yang could no longer tell if it was all coincidences or not.

”I understand. You can go back now.” Xu Yang took a deep breath and said to Tang Li Xue.

”O, oh... Okay...” Tang Li Xue nodded before she sighed in relief as if she had been pardoned from the heavy punishment.

The Taoist uncle dispelled the formation and pushed open the door to let Tang Li Xue walk out of the room.

After Tang Li Xue stepped out from Xu Yang’s courtyard, she felt so relieved as if a mountain-like burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

But then, she suddenly realized that she actually did not need to explain so much to Xu Yang because most of them were her personal matters.

Her guilt was immediately replaced by irritation and displeasure.

Tang Li Xue turned around and pointed her middle finger at Xu Yang’s room in anger.

Who knew that Xu Yang suddenly opened the door of his room from inside and saw Tang Li Xue pointing her middle finger at him.

Xu Yang’s expression immediately turned dark.

He recognized Tang Li Xue’s middle finger gesture because she had used this gesture to mock Lu Yixin right in front of him before.

”You... Come back here!” Xu Yang waved his palm coldly to call Tang Li Xue back.

But how could Tang Li Xue return obediently after she went out from there with so much difficulty?!

”Ahaha~! See you later, Doctor Xu!” Tang Li Xue quickly ran away from there while shouting her farewell to Xu Yang.

After running hundreds of meters from Xu Yang’s courtyard and making sure no one was chasing after her from behind, Tang Li Xue stopped for a while to take a breath and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeve.

”Doctor Xu is really scary. Maybe I should just let my perfect copy come here to persuade Doctor Xu from now on. Urgh, but I also do not want to accompany that chatty Third Prince for all day.” Tang Li Xue murmured in dilemma.

Before she could be seen by any patrolling guards, Tang Li Xue activated her [Swap] skill to switch her location with her perfect copy, then she unsummoned her perfect copy.

This way, Tang Li Xue easily returned to the Third Prince’s courtyard without bumping into any trouble.

Her [Thousand Myriad Faces]’s disguise skill was still on cooldown after she deliberately cancelled it when she met with Xu Yang before.

The Third Prince was still sitting across from her in the pavilion, and he was also chattering nonstop like before.

Tang Li Xue blankly smiled at him while nodding her head and responding from time to time with: ”Oh, really”, ”I see”, and so on.

Tang Li Xue was almost bored to death, but she had no choice other than to bear it in order to entertain the Third Prince.

Meanwhile, Shao Ying appeared at the inn where Xi’er, Yaya, and Lucia were staying.

Xi’er, Yaya, and Lucia were currently eating their lunch at the restaurant on the first floor, but Shao Ying suddenly sat at their table.

Yaya and Lucia stared suspiciously at Shao Ying while Xi’er asked Shao Ying in puzzlement: ”Miss Shao? Is there anything you need from us?”

”Where is Miss Tang?” Shao Ying asked Xi’er back.

”Sister Xue should be already inside the Imperial Palace by now. Does Miss Shao have a message to convey to Sister Xue? I can help Miss Shao deliver it to Sister Xue.” Xi’er stated to Shao Ying.

Shao Ying nodded her head as she took out a jade box from her space pouch and gave it to Xi’er while whispering softly to her: ”Give this box to Miss Tang. Tell her to secretly spread the contents of this box around the palace. Please do it no later than three days from today.”

”I understand. I will deliver it to Sister Xue as soon as possible.” Xi’er replied in a solemn tone as she received the jade box from Shao Ying and stored it in her space pouch.

Shao Ying nodded at Xi’er, then she stood up and went out of the inn in a hurry.

Shao Ying planned to look for Ji Xuanming’s group this time and told them about what they need to do three days from now.

Right at this time, Xu Yang almost made a proper arrangement with his guardian, the Taoist uncle.

”Contact all of our people with cultivation level at the Core Formation Stage or above. Tell them all to come into this Capital City.” Xu Yang told the Taoist uncle with a stern tone.

”Young Master, do you really plan to listen to that fox girl’s words and join the fight for the throne too?” The Taoist uncle asked in astonishment.

Xu Yang stared at the clouded sky outside his window for a while before he muttered with a hoarse voice: ”I have a hunch, a heavy storm will be coming soon. It would be best if we could make enough preparation before that happens.”

The Taoist uncle’s expression also turned solemn after he heard Xu Yang’s words.

”The fight for the throne was already fierce, and now, even the Fox Clan joined the fray. I am quite certain that other anti-government organizations will also jump in and make their moves soon.” Xu Yang stated his deduction.

”I get it, Young Master. I will go and contact all of them now. ” The Taoist uncle sighed helplessly before he vanished from Xu Yang’s room in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yang also went out of his room and quickly tidied up his courtyard.

After erasing all the traces of the battle and repairing all the damaged formations, Xu Yang headed back to the Supreme Medical Hall.
