Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 449: A Loophole? Bugged Trial?

Tang Li Xue really wanted to run toward Little Loki and ask why it did such a despicable act right now, but she was already completely exhausted all of her Qi and stamina.

Even with the astonishing effects of her two awakened bloodlines, [Pure Sun Dragon] and [Imperial Moon Fox], which currently dispelled all of her tiredness and the sluggish feeling from her exhausted body, they only allowed her to freely move all of her limbs and also greatly increased her physical strength. 

But she still could not use any of her martial art techniques anymore since her Qi already completely dried up.

Moreover, Tian Jian also already managed to disperse Tang Li Xue's [Perpetual Slash] with his [Rainbow Cutter] without even receiving any scratch at all.

If Tian Jian attacked Tang Li Xue with his [Rainbow Cutter] technique again right now, Tang Li Xue would certainly not be able to defend herself anymore and got killed by him in an instant. 

It seems Tang Li Xue's fate had already been decided... It was almost certain that she would get defeated and got slain by Tian Jian soon.

Tang Li Xue gnashed her teeth and still refused to give up even after she has realized that she already has no chance of winning against Tian Jian.

However, something shocking unexpectedly happened right in front of her eyes!

Tian Jian's body suddenly turned transparent bit by bit after the cute-looking baby had died!

It was as if Tian Jian's body slowly faded away and turned invisible.

Tang Li Xue immediately increased her vigilance to the maximum since she thought Tian Jian used another sword technique to turn himself invisible right now.

But when Tang Li Xue slowly stood up from her kneeling position and put her battle stance while raised her [ Scepter of Disaster] again to face Tian Jian's next attack, she suddenly heard the archaic voice spoke in her mind.

"Sigh... Fated young one, you are really lucky. Your pet cat is very smart. It seems your pet is far from ordinary. I really wonder what kind of species is that three-eyed black cat? Cat Sith? Feline Race? Forget it... Congratulation, Fated young one! You have passed my fourth trial, the Trial of Talent and Aptitude!"

'Eh, what? What did you say just now? EHHHHHHH... I... I HAVE PASSED THE TRIAL?!" Tang Li Xue shouted in shock as she dropped her jaw and became dumbfounded in an instant.

"Your situation is really unique and has never happened before, so it accidentally created a loophole in the fourth trial's rule for you to exploit. The rule to pass this fourth trial is to defeat only 'one' model build by the crystal orb, but there are 'two' models created by the crystal orb this time." Tian Jian patiently explained to Tang Li Xue.

"This is also the reason why I kept targeting that baby before. If I am the one that managed to kill that baby before, your only way to get past this fourth trial is by defeating me." Tian Jian shook his head in disappointment as his body kept fading away, and he almost completely vanished.

"Sigh... Unfortunately, it seems my rash actions only made your cat pet became suspicious of that baby instead. So it decided to throw the baby onto your attack in the crucial moment when your situation is very desperate." Tian Jian ended his explanation, and his body completely disappeared now.

Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes turned bright in an instant after she heard Tian Jian's explanation.

"Loophole? No, this is... a bug in the trial's system! How could it be?! I cannot believe something like this can happen!" Tang Li Xue absentmindedly muttered in disbelief.

Nyaaaaa~!

Meanwhile, Little Loki already walked toward Tang Li Xue and rubbed its tiny furry head on Tang Li Xue's feet with a pitiful wronged expression.

When Tang Li Xue saw Little Loki, a guilty feeling immediately assaulted her heart.

She felt guilty because she stared at Little Loki with an accusing glare before, and her action must have hurt Little Loki's feelings.

Tang Li Xue smiled gently at Little Loki as she quickly held Little Loki and embraced it tight on her warm chest while trying to appease it: " Little Loki, I am really sorry. You did that to save me, but I unreasonably accused you of it instead. I promise I will give you many delicious snacks later when we get back to make up for that. How about it?"

Nyaaw~!

Little Loki happily meowed as it was contently lying down its furry head on Tang Li Xue's soft chest.

But Tang Li Xue also secretly felt that Little Loki's previous action was too vicious.

It was still all right for now because the cute-looking male baby was only a model created by the crystal orb, but what if it was replaced with a real living baby? Or even her close friend like Yaya, Bingbing, Silly Fox, or Instructor Lan?

Would Little Loki also sacrifice them if someday Tang Li Xue faced the same desperate situation as before?

Tang Li Xue shook her head to push away her worry, but she silently decided to educate Little Loki more in the future.

'Little Loki is still a newborn cub anyway. Even though it is very smart and quite vicious because of its extraordinary species as one of the four Evil Fiend Beasts, but Little Loki is still a cub. I can slowly educate it with love and affection. I will never believe that I cannot nurture it into a proper loving warm-hearted adult later!' Tang Li Xue thought as she was filled with confidence.

Tang Li Xue still felt perplexed, so she decided to ask the archaic voice: "Let me ask a few questions since I still feel puzzled. This bug... Uhhh... I mean this loophole is quite ridiculous. Can you, as the owner's will of this Crystal Palace Tomb, fix it? You can even remove that male baby to erase that loophole, right?"

"Sigh... If only it is really that easy. However, all of the trials in this tomb had already been decided by the living me before he died, and my job as his last strand of will is to supervise for all Fated Young Ones when they undergo all the trials."

"I can only adjust the rules in any trial for a bit, just like when I created another model for you to face in this fourth trial. I do not have absolute authority to decide everything. If not, I can just disqualify you for cheating and kick you out from this tomb instead of creating another model for you to face."

The archaic voice answered Tang Li Xue's question with a frustrated and helpless tone.

Tang Li Xue's pink lips curved upward in gloating after she heard the archaic voice's answer.

'I get it! In short, this last strand of will left behind by the owner of this Crystal Palace Tomb before he died can only work like an AI (Artificial Intelligent) to supervise all the trials and make sure that everything is working as it should be. But he cannot override the rules that had already been made by the real owner of this tomb!' Tang Li Xue concluded in her mind.

"I see~! I see~! So, you do not have absolute authority over everything in this tomb! But your action seems like you are the real owner of this tomb~! You even accuse me of cheating without any proof! That really offends me as the trial taker! Sigh... Maybe I should just give up right now and spread the words that this Crystal Palace Tomb is only a big scam place." Tang Li Xue blurted out with a mixed smug tone and mocking tone to vent all of her dissatisfaction since she was accused of cheating by this AI... err... I mean this tomb owner's will.

"….." The tomb owner's will became speechless in that instant.

"Hehehehe... I wonder if anyone will dare to take the trial in this place after I spread it later. All right, where is the exit gate? I want to give up on this scamming trial... ups, sorry... I mean this tomb's trial." Tang Li Xue laughed mischievously as she kept gently petting Little Loki in her embrace.

After Tang Li Xue had spoken all of her dissatisfaction, the blue gate and red gate suddenly appeared on the wall of the vast empty room.

Tang Li Xue really has decided to give up on the last trial since the last trial must be the most dangerous and the hardest trial among all of the trials.

She already almost got killed in this fourth trial, so her chance of passing the fifth trial was almost none. 

Tian Jian was too powerful for her to face, and Tang Li Xue would certainly get killed for real if she must face another opponent as powerful as Tian Jian or might be even more powerful than him in the last trial.

"The blue gate to give up and the red gate to proceed onto the last trial, right?" Tang Li Xue asked to make sure the owner's will did not play her and switch the color of the gate this time.

"That... is true... You can enter the blue gate if you decided to give up, or you can proceed to enter the red gate if you decided to take the fifth trial..." The archaic voice answered Tang Li Xue's question again, but his tone was still filled with disbelief, shock, and bewilderment.

Tang Li Xue walked toward the blue gate, but when she almost push open the blue gate...

"WAIT~!!! Wait for a minute... Please..." The archaic voice called Tang Li Xue with an anxious tone.
