Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: Guardian Beast, Guardian Spirit, Guardian God!

Uncle Taoist continued on his way to the Supreme Healing Hall, and he even increased his speed.

Tang Li Xue used her [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step] to closely follow Uncle Taoist from behind.

But before they could even go far...

ROOOAAAAR—!

A deafening roar suddenly echoed through the entire palace!

”Shit! This is getting more and more out of control!” Uncle Taoist groaned helplessly.

”What is that scary roar? Did the Blood God Cult also send a monster to attack the palace?” Tang Li Xue asked in a worried tone.

Uncle Taoist explained to Tang Li Xue without slowing down his speed: ”No, that voice should be coming from the Great Wei Dynasty’s guardian beast, Heavenly Golden Dragon. It usually hibernates, and it would only wake up when this palace is facing a great danger.”

”I do not know what has happened to it, but it seems that Heavenly Golden Dragon is in trouble right now.” Uncle Taoist spoke in a solemn tone.

”Guardian Beast?! And... The Great Wei Dynasty even has a dragon?!” Tang Li Xue almost dropped her jaw to the ground in shock.

”Err, wait a minute, I am really confused... Don’t the Human Race and the Beast Race not get along? How could the Great Wei Dynasty raise a dragon inside their palace?!” Tang Li Xue asked in confusion.

Uncle Taoist rolled his eyes and advised Tang Li Xue: ”Little Girl, you seriously lack a lot of knowledge. You should have read more books.”

Uncle Taoist could only helplessly explain about the ’Guardian Beast’ to Tang Li Xue.

The Guardian Beast of any kingdom or dynasty was actually not the beast from the Beast Race.

At first, it was only a statue of a certain beast. It could be a dragon, tiger, tortoise, phoenix, qilin, and so on.

Then, after being imbued and nurtured with the Dynasty’s luck, that beast statue will gradually come to life and even have its own spirit.

The strength of Guardian Beast heavily depends on the power of the Dynasty’s luck.

The more prosperous the dynasty, the more luck it would have, and the stronger its Guardian Beast would be.

In fact, there were also some Dynasties or kingdoms that used the statue of certain deities and imbued them with their luck, which gave birth to similar creatures called Guardian Spirit or Guardian God.

But this Guardian Spirit or Guardian God was unpopular in the Azure Mist Continent because there were previous cases where the Guardian Spirit or Guardian God controlled the Emperor as their puppet, which brought destruction to their entire dynasty.

Different from Guardian Spirit or Guardian God, Guardian Beast had lower intelligence, so they were much easier to control.

”Oh, I get it. So, this Guardian Beast should be something like the treasure spirit, right?” Tang Li Xue nodded her head in understanding.

Tang Li Xue found it not strange anymore after she heard Uncle Taoist’s explanation.

Even treasures such as swords, spears, and so on could have spirits, so how could statues not have spirits?

Wasn’t Xi’er the perfect example of that?

Xi’er was originally the spirit residing in the Ocean Goddess’s statue before Tang Li Xue let her change her vessel to [Sword of Disaster]. She should be an entity like Guardian Beast, Guardian Spirit, and Guardian God.

”Watch out—!” Taoist Uncle suddenly shouted to warn Tang Li Xue.

Taoist Uncle also waved his sleeve, and a transparent barrier instantly covered him and Tang Li Xue.

BOOOOOM—!

The entire palace was shaking greatly again because of the devastating explosion in the sky!

”Holy crap! What is happening there?!” Tang Li Xue could see clearly that there was a huge golden dragon flying in circles above the Imperial Palace!

That golden dragon was so huge that its enormous body almost covered the entire sky above the Imperial Palace!

Its gigantic body size might have reached thousands of meters long!

Then what made Tang Li Xue baffled was that there was a crimson color mixed on its golden scales!

”No, there is something wrong with Heavenly Golden Dragon! It even started attacking the Spirit Transformation Stage Grandmasters from the Great Wei Dynasty!” Taoist Uncle muttered while frowning deeply in worry.

Tang Li Xue moved closer to Taoist Uncle until she was only one step away from him.

There was a great fight on the scale of Spirit Transformation Stage Grandmasters, right above the Imperial Palace, and she could no longer use her [Swap] skill to escape from here, so Tang Li Xue thought that she could only depend on Taoist Uncle, who was also at the Spirit Transformation Stage.

”Don’t tell me that the crimson trees can even affect that Heavenly Golden Dragon and make it crazy?!” Tang Li Xue concluded from the Heavenly Golden Dragon’s strange behaviour.

”It may be because those grandmasters tried to seal away the crimson trees by borrowing the power of the Heavenly Golden Dragon before, so the power of the crimson trees corrupted the Heavenly Golden Dragon instead.” Taoist Uncle deduced even further.

It was really an irony.

Those grandmasters borrowed the power of the Heavenly Golden Dragon to temporarily seal all the crimson trees and save all the people in the palace, but not only did they fail to seal the crimson trees and save those people, but they ended up losing the Heavenly Golden Dragon instead.

Taoist Uncle and Tang Li Xue became more and more anxious because the situation had become worse and worse as time passed.

Fortunately, Taoist Uncle and Tang Li Xue had already reached the Supreme Healing Hall right at this time.

Taoist Uncle sighed in relief after he returned to Xu Yang’s office in the Supreme Healing Hall and made sure that there was nothing bad had happened to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang did not bother to pay any attention to Taoist Uncle.

He glared coldly at Tang Li Xue instead and muttered: ”You have successfully made the whole palace become like this. Are you happy right now that you can kill so many innocent people at once?”

Tang Li Xue lowered her head guiltily before she replied in a soft voice: ”I... am sorry... I also do not know if it will become like this.”

Xu Yang stared deeply at Tang Li Xue’s innocent topaz blue eyes and realized that Tang Li Xue really did not know that this would happen.

Xu Yang secretly felt relieved, but then, he felt embarrassed at himself.

Even though Tang Li Xue didn’t know and didn’t want all this to happen, but there was no doubt that she was the one who caused all of this.

Xu Yang already knew that, but he somehow did not have the heart to blame Tang Li Xue for it.

Xu Yang sighed resignedly before he said to Tang Li Xue in an indifferent tone: ”Go! I do not want to see you again.”

Uncle Taoist: ”.....”

Uncle Taoist really wanted to scold Xu Yang so badly right now.

Xu Yang ordered him to bring Tang Li Xue back safely, and now, he chased her away instead, right after he saw her.

Doesn’t that mean all his previous effort was in vain?!

”But I really did not...” Before Tang Li Xue could finish her words...

”Get out—!” Xu Yang mercilessly drove Tang Li Xue out with his cold words.

Little Loki, who was sitting leisurely at Tang Li Xue’s shoulder, glared unhappily at Xu Yang.

It really did not like this unfriendly two-legged creature (Xu Yang) that always spoke coldly to its food officer (Tang Li Xue).

Tang Li Xue still wanted to talk to Xu Yang, but Xu Yang clearly did not want to talk to her anymore.

Tang Li Xue could only helplessly follow Xu Yang’s request and step out of his office.

Right after Tang Li Xue closed the door of Xu Yang’s office, Xu Yang immediately glanced at Uncle Taoist.

Uncle Taoist: ”?!”

Xu Yang’s expression turned dark when he saw Uncle Taoist’s oblivious and confused expression.

”What are you waiting for? Chase her! It’s so dangerous out there. What if she faces danger as soon as she steps out of here?!” Xu Yang explained indifferently to Uncle Taoist.

Uncle Taoist’s mouth twitched slightly in annoyance.

He really wanted to kick Xu Yang’s butt so badly right now.

”Then what? Should I bring her back here only for you to kick her out again later? Do you really enjoy causing trouble for me like this?” Uncle Taoist unhappily questioned Xu Yang.

”Cough, cough... Well, just let her stay in the next room until the dangerous situation is over.” Xu Yang embarrassingly replied to Uncle Taoist.

”Okay, whatever you say, Master...” Uncle Taoist murmured while lazily standing up from his seat and going out to chase after Tang Li Xue.

Right at this time, Tang Li Xue was disappointed because she thought her chance of completing her mission to persuade Xu Yang was getting lower and lower as time passed.

Fortunately, she also received some good news from her System, which soothed her wounded fragile heart.

Tang Li Xue was quite surprised by the sudden surprise given by her System.

’Whoa~! So, I can comprehend a new spatial skill just like that?! Even my [Boundless Void Body] improved slightly! This is so awesome!’ Tang Li Xue thought excitedly.

Right at this time, Taoist Uncle suddenly appeared right beside Tang Li Xue and stared strangely at Tang Li Xue.

”Are you that happy to be kicked out by him?” Taoist Uncle asked Tang Li Xue in a curious tone.

Tang Li Xue: ”.....”
