Reincarnated As a Fox With System

After pondering carefully for a while, Tang Li Xue finally decided on her choice.

"I am sorry, but I already have another appointment tomorrow." Tang Li Xue politely refused to take part in their plan.

The green-dressed tall fox girl and the petite fox girl frowned in displeasure when they heard Tang Li Xue's rejection, 

especially since Tang Li Xue already knew their plan.

Because they suspected that Tang Li Xue might do something to sabotage their plan later.

Tang Li Xue could faintly read their worry from their expression, so she hastily explained her plan to them: "You do not need to worry. I will not do anything to ruin your plan. I reject your plan because I already have my own plan to escape from this Imperial City tomorrow morning."

The petite fox girl raised her eyebrow and asked curiously: "Oh? You already have your own plan to get out of this city?! Even the timing is the same as our plan?!"

But the green-dressed tall fox girl immediately said with a suspicious tone: "Do you really believe what she told us? What if she only talked nonsense to deceive us?"

Tang Li Xue felt a bit offended by the green-dressed tall fox girl's accusing words, but she also felt guilty for not joining their plan after coming here and finding out about it.

The petite fox girl frowned and asked Tang Li Xue again: "Can you tell us something about your plan too?"

Tang Li Xue nodded and generously explained: "I already approached the son of an important minister today, and he had promised to find a way to bring me out of this city tomorrow morning." 

Both the green-dressed tall fox girl and the petite fox girl widened their eyes in surprise.

When they were still thinking about the next plan after escaping from the royal guards today, Tang Li Xue had already made her move today and was actually one step ahead of them all.

Tang Li Xue stared displeasantly at the green-dressed tall fox girl and sneered mockingly while saying: "So, you do not need to worry that I will ruin your plan~! Because just like you two, I will be too busy to execute my own plan tomorrow morning!"

Tang Li Xue slowly stood up and muttered with a burning competitive spirit: "Then tomorrow will be the showdown between us. No one knows whether my plan or your plan will succeed, but the first fox who successfully gets out of this city will be the final winner of this treasure game~!"

Both the green-dressed tall fox girl and the petite fox girl did not bother to say anything anymore at this time.

The three of them were competitors after all.

Regardless Tang Li Xue cooperates with them or not, only one fox will be the final winner of this treasure game in the end.

Tang Li Xue got out of the inn and walked back to Wang Shan's mansion without meeting with any obstruction.

On the way, Tang Li Xue considered her choice once more, and she really did not regret it even one bit.

Their plan might sound very feasible, but they were each other's competitors after all, so Tang Li Xue really could not put her trust in them at all since they could stab her back at any time and situation.

Choosing between Wang Shan and those untrustable two foxes, Tang Li Xue naturally would be willing to believe Wang Shan more.

Moreover, there was actually an unnoticeable fatal flaw in their plan.

Tang Li Xue squinted her topaz blue eyes with a solemn expression.

"Their plan sounds feasible, but only because we assume that the Emperor is actually a weakling without any combat power. If the Emperor has Formation Core cultivation level or above, then their plan is no longer feasible to do." Tang Li Xue murmured her skepticism.

Yes... Despite their plan to capture the Emperor and use him as their hostage, they still did not have any clue about the Emperor's current strength at all!

Executing a high-risk plan without complete information about their target like this was clearly a fatal mistake.

In Tang Li Xue's opinion, the success chance of their plan was actually not as high as they thought, but of course, Tang Li Xue would never tell them about this since the two of them were her competitors after all.

There were still a lot of royal guards and imperial soldiers scattering on the entire street, and they were still busily checking the suspicious passersby one by one.

But somehow, no one inspected Tang Li Xue anymore until she returned back to Wang Shan's mansion.

This matter did not make Tang Li Xue feel relieved.

On the contrary, it raised Tang Li Xue's vigilance and suspicion even more.

"This is definitely extremely strange~! My attire was clearly very suspicious yet they only checked me once. I suspected they secretly put a mark on me before." Tang Li Xue muttered while frowning deeply.

Tang Li Xue recalled carefully her previous close encounter with the several royal guards.

'But they did not touch me even once, so how could they secretly put a mark on me? Or maybe I think too much about it, and they are actually not suspicious about me at all?' Tang Li Xue thought doubtfully.

Before she entered Wang Shan's mansion, Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] again, then she sneaked back into her room without anyone realizing it.

After dispelling her [Water Mirage]'s clone, Tang Li Xue asked the several maids in front of the door of her room if someone had looked at her before.

Wang Shan actually came here to her room and invited her for dinner when she was out.

Thankfully, she had already used [Mystic Whisper] on these several maids, so they immediately found an excuse for her to reject Wang Shan's dinner invitation.

In her room, Tang Li Xue quickly undressed and threw down her entire clothes.

She even used [Sun Dragon Fiery Eyes] to burn all of her clothes to nothingness because she still suspected that those royal guards left a mark on her clothes.

Tang Li Xue ordered several maids to prepare warm water for her to take a bath.

Tang Li Xue took out Yaya and Little Loki from her system's pet space and took a comfortable warm bath with them.

"Little Loki, Yaya, do you find any hard-to-notice suspicious marks on me? I have a suspicion that those cunning royal guards secretly put a tracker on me." Tang Li Xue said to Little Loki and Yaya with a serious expression.

Yaya flew around around Tang Li Xue a few times, but she shook her tiny head signing that she did not find any suspicious thing at all.

On the other hand, Little Loki moved its sharp nose closer to Tang Li Xue and meowed: "Mew Meoowww Nyaaw~! (You have a suspicious scent on your body~!)"

"Eh, really? But my scent is still sweet and fragrant as always~!" Tang Li Xue replied after she used her nose to sniff her own body scent.

Fox's nose was already very sharp, and all of Tang Li Xue's senses had already been enhanced many times by [Extrasensory Perception] divine ability.

Despite that, she still failed to find any suspicious smell on her.

Of course, Tang Li Xue 100% believed Little Loki's words, so she took the flower-scented soap and tried to scrub it hard on her entire body to remove the suspicious scent.

Unfortunately, Little Loki told Tang Li Xue that the suspicious scent was still there.

According to Little Loki, the suspicious scent was very peculiar and faint. No one would notice it, except they used a special tool to track her.

Tang Li Xue was very frustrated that the scent still persisted after all of her efforts.

"Should I just give up and let the scent keep lingering on my body just like this?" Tang Li Xue muttered with a disappointed expression.

After hesitating for a while, Tang Li Xue gnashed her pearl-white teeth with a resolute expression as she said: "No, tomorrow's plan is very crucial for us. Any mistake will increase our chance of failure, so I clearly cannot let this scent keep lingering on me."

Tang Li Xue suddenly condensed a pair of [Sun Dragon Claws] all of a sudden.

Little Loki and Yaya still did not understand what Tang Li Xue planned to do until...

CRRRSSSSHHH~!

Tang Li Xue controlled the [Sun Dragon Claws] to ruthlessly burn her own skin!

Little Loki and Yaya hastily jumped to Tang Li Xue in worry to stop her, but Tang Li Xue shouted at them before they could approach her: "Stop there~! You two do not need to worry... I still have [High-Speed Regeneration], so this kind of burned skin wound could be cured in just less than a minute..."

Tang Li Xue forced out a reassuring smile to comfort the worried Little Loki and Yaya while saying: "You two really do not need to worry about me. Suffering for one or two minutes like this is nothing at all to me~! I have suffered many times more pain than this over decades before."
