Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 617: Mountain Fortress City's Complicated Situation!

When Tang Li Xue reached the slum area, Little Loki had already been waiting for her there because Tang Li Xue had appointed Little Loki to meet here if they got separated later.

"Meow~!" Little Loki jumped from the building's roof to Tang Li Xue's shoulder.

"Good job, Little Loki~!" Tang Li Xue patted Little Loki's tiny furry head gently and praised it.

Then she took out half of all her mid-tier spirit stones from the spatial ring and fed it to the hungry Little Loki.

Little Loki happily devoured them all to recover its energy.

"Did you manage to defeat that amber-colored fox?" Tang Li Xue asked curiously.

Little Loki shook its head and replied while waving its tiny paw: "Nyaaww mew nyann~!"

"I see... So, it ran away after it could no longer find any trace of me. It makes sense since the target of that amber-colored fox was the fox sisters who were with me at that time." Tang Li Xue nodded in understanding.

But this also made Tang Li Xue realize one more problem from this treasure game.

Yes, they actually did not need to find and save the kidnapped foxes by themselves. They could also rob the other foxes after the other foxes found and saved the kidnapped foxes.

"What a headache~?! How could the supervisor of this treasure game fail to find such a loophole?! No, they might deliberately leave such a loophole to see how we react to it and figure out a way to prevent it from happening~!" Tang Li Xue muttered with an annoyed expression.

Tang Li Xue shook her head and continued to say: "Anyway, that is not an urgent thing to think about right now. The most important thing to do right now is to find how the hell that amber-colored fox could cooperate with humans!"

The amber-colored fox clearly did not have any mind-controlling type divine ability like her [Mystic Whisper], so how could it cooperate with humans?!

Tang Li Xue rubbed her forehead gently with her slender fingers and whispered: "The information I obtained is still too little. I need to gather more crucial information, so I can deduce and devise more precise plans. Sigh... It seems this treasure game is much more complicated than I had thought."

Compared to the early treasure games, they were more like simple child games, while her last two treasure games were getting more and more complicated and troublesome.

Tang Li Xue had a hunch that the first phase of the Foxes Hunting Festival would be over soon, and they would enter the second phase earlier than she had expected.

After grasping what she needed, Tang Li Xue immediately gathered many people from the slum area and used her [Mystic Whisper] to make them find more information about the kidnapped foxes and the intricate connection between the four powerhouses of the Mountain Fortress City.

Tang Li Xue's energy was almost completely exhausted after she used her [Mystic Whisper] repeatedly on many targets.

Fortunately, the cultivators living in this slum area had low-level cultivation, and more than half of the inhabitants were only ordinary mortals.

Tang Li Xue took a rest in one of the dilapidated houses in the slum area to recover her energy while waiting patiently for those people to find the information she wanted.

A few hours passed in the blink of an eye and the skies above the Mountain Fortress City had already turned dark, those slum people began to come back home and reported to Tang Li Xue one by one.

"Eternal Joyous Cult? You said the group who attacked the two young masters from Lin Family and Wang Family on the street today is from Eternal Joyous Cult?" Tang Li Xue asked while frowning deeper.

The slum people nodded their heads and explained more clearly to Tang Li Xue.

The people in Eternal Joyous Cult were mostly dissatisfied with the tyranny of the four powerhouses, so they banded together to rebel against the four powerhouses.

But Tang Li Xue thought this Eternal Joyous Cult might even be the people from one of the four powerhouses, and they only used the name of 'Eternal Joyous Cult' to secretly make it difficult for the other three.

And the most suspicious one was the City Lord himself...

The City Lord has the highest authority in this Mountain Fortress City, and he could order his army and city guards to clean the Eternal Joyous Cult anytime, but he did not do anything until now.

It sounds really suspicious, right?

"So, that amber fox joins the Eternal Joyous Cult in order to find the kidnapped foxes? It should be impossible, right?! I mean cooperation between foxes and humans looks too ridiculous~!" Tang Li Xue murmured in amusement.

Tang Li Xue shook her head and left the first news to ponder for later.

The second news they got was even more important for Tang Li Xue.

Some drunk people accidentally saw several fox girls in the cage secretly brought into the City Lord's Mansion this afternoon.

"They were brought into City Lord's Mansion~?! Sigh, forget it then. It was impossible for me to sneak into the house of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator to save those fox girls! That is clearly a suicide~! It seems I could only try to save the kidnapped foxes in the brothel house tonight." Tang Li Xue decided without any hesitation.

But the third news from the slum people instantly slapped Tang Li Xue's face.

The Eternal Joyous Cult attacked the brothel Mansion, brought all the courtesans into custody, and burnt the Mansion down an hour ago.

"Damn it~! They are one step ahead of me this time~!" Tang Li Xue cursed angrily.

Thankfully, the last news was a good one.

Because the Eternal Joyous Cult made too much movement today, the City Lord decided to step in and investigate it right away by himself.

In short, the City Lord would not be in his mansion tonight!

Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched in fear when she thought that she had no other choice than to secretly infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion to save those fox girls right now.

"Did those drunk people see how many fox girls were brought into the City Lord's Mansion?" Tang Li Xue asked again to make sure.

"Those people did not know for sure since they only caught a glimpse of those fox girls when the wind blew the cage's cloth cover, but they said it should be more than two." One of the slum people hesitantly answered.

"More than two, huh... It seems I really must go to the City Lord's Mansion tonight." Tang Li Xue muttered with a helpless tone.

She had already saved two kidnapped foxes from the Xiao Family's Slave Mansion before.

Tang Li Xue did not know if there was only the ember-colored fox joined the Eternal Joyous Cult or if there were more, but the Eternal Joyous Cult saved three kidnapped foxes from Brothel Mansion.

Anyway, she clearly could not let those people and foxes from Eternal Joyous Cult save the fox girls in City Lord's Mansion, or the fox from their side would surely win this treasure game.

If she managed to save the fox girls detained in the City Lord's Mansion, it meant she would have already saved around half of the kidnapped foxes or maybe even more!

This was clearly the decisive part of this treasure game!

Before Tang Li Xue set off to the City Lord's Mansion with Little Loki, she received even better good news.

Yaya had already recovered completely from the previous [War Goddess Mode]'s violent backlash, and she could fight or enter [DIvine Possession] with Tang Li Xue at any time.

Her martial soul, [Golden Winged Serpent], had also completely recovered from its severe wounds from the previous second treasure game.

Tang Li Xue smiled gleefully as she released out Yaya from her system's pet space.

"Ya yayaya~!" Yaya happily flew around Tang Li Xue and hugged Tang Li Xue's cheek, then gave her a lot of kisses.

At first, Little Loki did not care much and still showed its lazy look, but it quickly became unhappy when it saw Yaya kissing Tang Li Xue's cheek many times.

Little Loki glared coldly at Yaya, while Yaya also stared back at Little Loki. Their stares clashed fiercely for a few moments before both of them snorted and turned away cockily.

Tang Li Xue giggled as she felt ticklish by Yaya's kisses, and she also kissed Yaya back.

"Let's go, Yaya~! Our next destination place might be very dangerous, so I will surely need your help later." Tang Li Xue said while patting Yaya's tiny head.

Yaya patted her chest with a reassuring smile as if she was saying 'Leave it to me'.

"Nyaaa~!" Little Loki did not feel happy to be forgotten by Tang Li Xue and called out.

Tang Li Xue also patted Little Loki's furry head gently and comforted it: "Of course, you are also indispensable, Little Loki~!"

"It is such a pity that the Phoenix of Pride is still digesting the golden flame fruit and my [Twin Moons] is still on cooldown, so I cannot summon out my perfect copy yet. If not, this treasure game should be a piece of cake for us." Tang Li Xue murmured in a regretful tone.

When Tang Li Xue got out of the dilapidated house, she found out that there were many city guards scattering and patrolling everywhere.

Tang Li Xue's appearance looked suspicious with her hooded cloak and veil, so the city guards might come to inspect her as soon as they saw her, so she decided to use [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] to avoid them.

Both Little Loki and Yaya also used their own skill to turn invisible.

After they got out of the slum area, they actually saw more city guards and the army patrolling on the street.
