Reincarnated as a fox with system

Tang Li Xue had also already put Little Loki and Yaya into her system's pet space on time before those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators could scan and find them.

Tang Li Xue grasped her hands nervously when she saw so many royal guards and imperial soldiers scattered on the entire street, and many of them were also flying around the sky above the Imperial City to patrol.

The royal guards and the imperial soldiers checked the suspicious-looking people on the street one by one carefully, and some of them were even taken into custody.

'Sigh… I should really not go out at this time and just wait patiently in my room instead.' Tang Li Xue sighed in regret, but it was already too late for her to back down right now.

Tang Li Xue hastened her steps to pass those royal guards and imperial soldiers quickly.

Unfortunately, a few royal guards immediately spotted her and called her: "Hey, you over there~! The person who is covered with a white hooded cloak~! Come here~!"

Tang Li Xue halted her step while gnashing her pearl-white teeth in frustration.

She even considered ignoring that royal guard's call and just quickly running away from here as fast as she could, but that was clearly a worse decision to make since it would only make them even more suspicious of her.

She was completely trapped in this Imperial City right now like a turtle in the urn, so it would be impossible for her to run away from these royal guards and imperial soldiers.

Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm down her turbulent mood.

She turned around to face the approaching royal guards and greeted them politely with a charming smile on her stunning face: "Ah? Does Sir Officer just call me?"

Even though Tang Li Xue was currently wearing a white veil to cover her stunning face, but her topaz blue eyes were enough to amaze those approaching royal guards.

Those royal guards nodded and smiled politely at her while one of them asked: "I am sorry, Miss, for our obstruction. But we have an urgent task from higher-ups to inspect every suspicious person in the city to find a group of dangerous runaway prisoners."

Tang Li Xue giggled instead to cover her nervousness and replied with a playful tone: "So, Sir Officer think of me as a suspicious person? Do I really look like a dangerous runaway criminal? How mean of you, Sir Officer~!"

Several royal guards blushed, and one of them immediately denied nervously: "Of course not... I think... No, I mean, we think it should be impossible for an innocent beauty like Young Miss to be a criminal..."

The other royal guards hastily added: "Yes, we really sincerely think so, but our higher-ups strictly ordered us to check everyone's head since that group of dangerous runaway prisoners should have a mark on the top of their heads."

Tang Li Xue's slender body unconsciously shuddered after she heard their words.

Tang Li Xue thought solemnly: 'So, they already know that even foxes like us transfigured into human form, we would definitely still have a pair of fox ears on the top of our heads, so they used it to identify us.'

Tang Li Xue still maintained her calm and playful manner in front of the royal guards in order for them to lower their guard.

Tang Li Xue nodded and replied while giggling playfully: "Oh, I see... So it is a strict order from your higher-ups. If that is the case, it really cannot be helped. All right~! But only for a moment, okay~? I am a shy person after all, hehehe~!"

Despite keep acting playful in front of those few royal guards, her topaz blue eyes had already scanned her surroundings carefully, and her mind was thinking fast about her next action.

'It seems I really have no choice other than to obey them... Maybe I should just use [Mystic Whisper] on them and give an order to them, so they will not be able to see my fox ears?!' Tang Li Xue vigilantly thought.

Just when she decided to do it, and she almost opened her pink lips to use her [Mystic Whisper]...

Tang Li Xue suddenly remembered the harsh lesson she learned from the seventh treasure game before...

At that time, she also used [Mystic Whisper] on several City Lord's guards, but their captains could actually use it to track back her location instead!

She immediately canceled her plan and thought: "No, [Mystic Whisper] might be extremely useful and powerful, but they can use the vitality energy I left on the target to track me!'

Just when the several royal guards began to lose their patience, and Tang Li Xue also started to panic...

She suddenly got a flash of inspiration in her mind.

Tang Li Xue pulled down her white veil and raised the hood on the top of her head, but her alluring topaz blue eyes were shining dimly, and the mysterious light reflected on the eyes of those several royal guards.

[Eyes of Illusion]~!

At this time, several royal guards saw the beautiful Tang Li Xue, but her face was not as stunningly beautiful as usual, and there were no silver furry fox ears on the top of her head.

Yes, [Eyes of Illusion] was not her divine ability. It was one of the skills from her [Spiritualist] Battle Style, so unlike [Mystic Whisper], it would not leave any trace such as her vitality energy on the targets.

After one or two seconds, Tang Li Xue quickly covered her face and head with a white veil and hood again.

Even though she had already used [Eyes of Illusion] on several royal guards in front of her, but there was no guarantee that the other royal guards or imperial soldiers nearby would not accidentally see her fox ears instead.

Tang Li Xue's heart was beating more rapidly because of her nervousness as if it would jump out from her chest.

"All right, thank you very much for your cooperation, Young Miss." One of the royal guards nodded at Tang Li Xue with a silly smile on his face.

Tang Li Xue chucked and replied with a relaxed tone: "You are welcome, Sir Officer~! Then I can go now, right? My friends are already waiting for me, so I am afraid they look for me soon."

Several royal guards stopped blocking in front of Tang Li Xue, so she quickly passed them and continued her way to the foxes' meeting place.

But just after Tang Li Xue took a dozen steps from them, one of the royal guards called Tang Li Xue again from behind: "Excuse me, Young Miss~!"

Tang Li Xue halted her step again while gnashing her pearl-white teeth.

'Oh, no~! Did one of them manage to see through my [Eyes of Illusion]?! Damn it~! What to do now?!' Tang Li Xue anxiously thought.

She took a deep breath to forcefully calm down before turning to face those royal guards and asked: "Yes? Is there anything else you need from me, Sir Officer?"

The royal guard who called Tang Li Xue blushed like a prawn as he muttered softly: "Can I know your name and where you live, Young Miss? Maybe I can visit you at another time after this task is finished."

Tang Li Xue chuckled playfully, but she secretly felt relieved in her heart.

Tang Li Xue continued her step and playfully waved her hand to the asking royal guard while saying: "My name is Tang Xue. I am currently staying at an inn near the south gate."

'Well, I am currently heading there right now, so saying I am staying at an inn near the south gate should not make those royal guards suspicious of me, right?' Tang Li Xue doubtfully asked in her mind.

After walking quite far from those several royal guards, Tang Li Xue wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeve.

"Sigh... That was a close one. I hope those other foxes can give me some surprise, if not, all of these tensions and efforts would be in vain." Tang Li Xue murmured with a resentful tone.

It did not take long for Tang Li Xue to reach the appointment place.

"You are late." A feminine voice entered Tang Li Xue's ear before she could step into the inn.

Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes when she saw a petite fox girl who complained about her.

Actually, Tang Li Xue could have reached this place much earlier if she had dashed at her full speed, but of course, she did not dare to do it under so many watchful eyes of those royal guards and imperial soldiers.

Tang Li Xue did not bother to explain. She leisurely sat on one of the seats and asked the petite fox girl instead: "So, everyone has already arrived before me?"

The other tall fox girl who wore a green dress shook her head and replied with a disappointed tone: "I invited six foxes in total, but only three came including you."
