Reincarnated as a fox with system

"Let's go, Instructor Lan~! Bring us to the secret channel you talked about." Tang Li Xue said to Instructor Mei Lan in a firm tone.

Instructor Mei Lan nodded at Tang Li Xue while smiling in admiration.

Instructor Mei Lan did not object to Tang Li Xue's choice to escape from Garden City since the current situation had already deteriorated too much, and their lives would certainly be in danger if they stayed longer in Garden City.

"Okay, you three... Follow me closely and do not talk unless I let you talk! Do you understand?!" Instructor Mei Lan warned her three students with a stern tone.

"Understood~!" Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox replied in unison with serious expressions.

Instructor Mei Lan hastened her steps while Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox followed her closely from behind.

Even though it was already night, and the sky had turned dark, but there were still many people roaming around the street and many peddlers setting their stalls on the side of the street.

The traveling speed of Instructor Mei Lan and her three students slowed down because of those people, but it also made Instructor Mei Lan's group inconspicuous.

It took an hour or so for Instructor Mei Lan's group to reach their destination since they needed to avoid the Nascent Soul Stage elders who were patrolling with their [Mirror of Revelation] and took the detour.

Instructor Mei Lan led Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox into the crowded night market.

At the entrance, Instructor Mei Lan spent some money to buy several fox masks from one of the stalls.

Instructor Mei Lan wore the fox mask, and she gave the rest of the fox mask to her three students, then told them to wear the fox mask before entering the night market.

After they entered the night market while wearing the fox mask, Instructor Mei Lan brought her three students to buy some random items from the nine different stores.

Snacks, clothes, candied hawthorns, seasonings, drugs, dried meats, and so on...

Strangely, Instructor Mei Lan always said something strange to those peddlers and shopkeepers.

She said: "I want to buy a favor from you."

Then those peddlers and shopkeepers would receive the spirit stones from Instructor Mei Lan and give the bought items along with a piece of fragmented badge.

After collecting nine pieces of fragmented badges from those nine different stores, Instructor Mei Lan combined them into a complete badge.

Instructor Mei Lan led her three students into a crowded gambling house.

But she did not have any intention to gamble but immediately went to one of the thugs who guarded beside the stair to the second floor and gave the badge to him while saying: "I want to see Mama Vixen."

The thugs saw that Instructor Mei Lan and her three students wore the fox mask, so they did not ask anything as one of them went to the second floor with the badge given by Instructor Mei Lan.

After some time, the thug went down from the second floor and muttered to Instructor Mei Lan along with her three students: "You can go upstairs. Mama Vixen is already waiting for you."

Instructor Mei Lan removed the fox mask on her face, then her three students also followed her and removed their fox masks.

Instructor Mei Lan and her three students went to the second floor and entered a luxurious-looking room together.

A stunning young woman with scattered long black hair had waited for them inside that luxurious-looking room.

She was currently smoking with a long pipe while sitting leisurely on the sofa.

Tang Li Xue wanted to secretly inspect this stunning young woman with her basic [All Knowing Eyes], but the stunning young woman stared at her sharply before she could do it.

Tang Li Xue's body stiffened in an instant, and her entire body felt cold as if she had fallen into an ice pool.

She faintly felt an enormous threat from the stunning young woman, but it immediately vanished in the blink of an eye.

Tang Li Xue gasped heavily as her back soaked with cold sweat.

She realized that the stunning young woman had just warned her.

The stunning young woman stopped paying attention to Tang Li Xue as she took a talisman from her spatial ring and used it to isolate the entire room to avoid getting peeked or eavesdropped.

Instructor Mei Lan smiled as she sat across the stunning young woman and stated: "Mama Vixen should already know what we want to do, right?"

The stunning young woman puffed out the smoke while replying: "So you have decided to bring your people out from this Garden City. Not a bad choice since the situation in this Garden City has become too tense recently."

The stunning young woman put the smoking long pipe onto her lips and muttered: "But the City Protection Formation covered the entire Garden City, so the secret passage out of Garden City is also blocked by it."

Instructor Mei Lan replied with a reassuring tone: "Mama Vixen do not need to worry about that. We have our own way to pass through the City Protection Formation's blocking."

The stunning young woman raised her eyebrow in amusement as she murmured curiously: "Oh? Do you really have a way to pass through the City Protection Formation? How interesting~! Can you tell me how you do it?"

Instructor Mei Lan shook her head and stated: "I am really sorry, Mama Vixen. But that is our secret. So, I cannot tell you about it."

The stunning young woman instantly lost her interest and said: "It is such a pity. Oh well... Forget it~!"

The stunning young woman tapped her smoking pipe three times onto the beautifully carved porcelain ashtray.

Then a man wearing an iron mask and black martial suit instantly appeared right in front of the stunning young woman.

Tang Li Xue: "???!!!"

Silly Fox: "???!!!"

Bingbing: "???!!!"

The three of them were very surprised since they did not sense anything until now!

They immediately put their battle stance as they raised their vigilance to the maximum against the man in the iron mask.

"Your people are still too naive. If they are in the enemy place, they would have killed long ago." The stunning young woman sneered at Instructor Mei Lan with a hint of mocking.

Instructor Mei Lan showed her gentle smile to the stunning young woman and replied: "My people still lack experience. But Mama Vixen does not need to worry."

CLANG~!

The iron mask on the man's face was cut into tiny pieces and scattered on the floor revealing his fierce face filled with many scars.

The cut surface of the iron mask was very smooth like a mirror. It was hard to imagine how sharp the thing used to cut it.

"I never rely on them to protect myself." Instructor Mei Lan continued to say with a gentle smile on her beautiful face.

In that instant, the atmosphere in the room became extremely tense and suffocating as if the two of them were ready to clash against each other at any time.

Tang Li Xue, Silly Fox, and Bingbing did not even understand anymore whether the stunning young woman and the fierce-

looking man were their enemies or allies.

After a few moments, the tense and suffocating atmosphere was broken by the stunning young woman's charming laugh.

"Pfftt~! Hahahahaha~! You are also a very interesting person~! Okay, bring them to our secret passage." The stunning young woman laughed in amusement and ordered the fierce-looking man to lead Instructor Mei Lan's group to their secret passage.

"Thank you very much, Mama Vixen." Instructor Mei Lan lowered her head to the stunning young woman before bringing her three students to follow the fierce-looking man.

Tang Li Xue curiously asked Instructor Mei Lan with telepathy: "Instructor Lan, is that woman our ally or foe?"

Instructor Mei Lan glanced at Tang Li Xue before replying with telepathy too: "She is neither our ally nor our foe. She is a three-quarter human and one-quarter fox beast. Her relationship with our Fox Clan is more about mutual benefit."

"But we must never show any weakness to her, or she would definitely do something detrimental to us." Instructor Mei Lan added.

Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in surprise.

"Wha... What the hell?! Three-quarter human and one-quarter fox beast?! So, she is a human or beast?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in disbelief and asked with telepathy.

"She is neither. She is just a greedy creature who always seeks profit from every one. Anyway, you better not communicate with her without me in the future or you might be in danger. Do you understand?!" Instructor Mei Lan warned in a stern tone, but her previous tone was filled with mocking and disgust.

"I understand, Instructor Lan~!" Tang Li Xue in a serious tone.

The fierce-looking man brought Instructor Mei Lan and her three students to a secret elevator behind the bookshelves inside the young woman's luxurious room.

After the five of them rode on that secret elevator, it descended and took them to the basement.

The fierce-looking man took out a key from his spatial ring and used it to open the gate leading to a long secret passage that probably leads outside of Garden City.

"I can only take you here. You have to pass through this secret passage by yourselves." The fierce-looking man said to Instructor Mei Lan's group with a rough voice.

"Okay, we understand. Thank you very much for your help." Instructor Mei Lan replied to the fierce-looking man in a flat tone.
