Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 842 Egg Incubation Room!

After hearing the Statue of Sea Queenʼs reasonable explanation, Tang Li Xue got bolder, so she showed her bright stunning smile and shamelessly asked another question: ”Then can you tell me where the treasure room is?”

If Tang Li Xue dared to ask this question to another palace guardian, there was no doubt that she would get rewarded with scolding and slapping instead.

Fortunately, the Statue of Sea Queen did not care and generously told Tang Li Xue about it: ”Treasure room? It is hard to say the location of the treasure room because it depends on what treasures you are looking for.”

”You can see that there are three stairs in this front hall that lead to the three different directions.”

”The stairs on my right lead to the armory, most weapons and armor stored there might have been eaten by time and broken, but you should still be able to find a few precious weapons and armor stored there.”

”The stairs on my left are heading to the egg incubation room. Just like the armory, all eggs stored there should have been rotted, but there is an extremely high-grade spiritual spring pool in that egg incubation room.”

”If you can soak yourself and your two little friends in that pool, the strength of the three of you will definitely increase rapidly in a short time.”

”Lastly, the stairs behind me will lead you to herb and elixir room. I am not sure if there is still anything good there since most of herbs and elixirs might have already decayed after storing them for such a very long time.”

The Statue of Sea Queen really told everything she knew in detail.

The eyes of Little Loki and Yaya were shining brightly in delight when they heard about the extremely high-grade spiritual spring pool.

While Tang Li Xueʼs topaz blue eyes shone brightly in excitement when she heard about the pill and elixir room.

Before Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki made their decision, the Statue of Sea Queen hesitated and added a few more warnings: ”As you can see, I can only move around this front hall, those three stairs, and the corridors after those three stairs. I already cleaned all of the filthy living corpses around there, but I cannot access those three places.”

”So, the you three must be careful when you explore those three places since you might have to face living corpses nested inside those places. I can sense from their filthy aura that some of them are quite powerful.” The Statue of Sea Queen kindly reminded.

The Statue of Sea Queen was actually genuinely worried about Tang Li Xue and her group.

It had already been too long since the Statue of Sea Queen had seen any guests, so she surely did not want her first guests after such a very long time also turned into living corpses in less than one day.

”Thank you very much... err, Miss Statue...” Tang Li Xue bashfully thanked the Statue of Sea Queen, but it was really awkward to call the Statue of Sea Queen ʼMiss Statueʼ.

The Statue of Sea Queen giggled and said: ”You can call me, Xiʼer. Everyone has called me that... Well, it was a long time ago.”

Tang Li Xue could hear a hint of sorrow in Xiʼerʼs tone, so she immediately introduced herself too to cheer Xiʼer a bit: ”My name is Tang Li Xue. You can call me Little Sister Tang, Little Xue, or whatever you like.”

Then she patted at Little Loki and Yayaʼs tiny heads while introducing them one by one to Xiʼer: ”This sweet little one is called Yaya, while the cute black kitten is called Little Loki.”

”Yaaa Yaya Ya~! (Nice to meet you~!)” Yaya cheerfully waved her hands and greeted Xiʼer.

”Meow Nyaaw Mew Nyeeaaw~? (Since we have got all the information we need, can I eat her already now?)” Little Loki asked as it greedily stared at Xiʼer while licking its lips.

Tang Li Xueʼs pink lips twitched slightly after she heard Little Lokiʼs unkind request.

Fortunately, Xiʼer could not understand Little Lokiʼs cat language and thought that it was Little Lokiʼs ʼuniqueʼ way of greeting her instead.

”Hello, everyone~! It is nice to meet you all. It is been a long time since I chatted with anyone. Can you all please talk to me about the world outside later after you get all the treasures you want?” Xiʼer asked affectionately at Tang Li Xue and her group.

Tang Li Xue instantly felt very sorry for Xiʼer.

Xiʼer should have been trapped alone in this place for a very long time.

Tang Li Xue finally understood why Xiʼer was so kind and courteous when she met and talked to them. She even gave them so much crucial information and warned them about the danger without holding anything back.

It should be because Xiʼer felt really lonely before, and she was very happy to meet someone to talk to her after such an extremely long time alone.

Tang Li Xue also felt very guilty and ashamed for always suspecting Xiʼer before.

There was really no way since she had to always keep her guard up.

This world of immortal cultivators was always ruthless and full of deceit after all. If she even made just one mistake, not only would she lose her life, but she would also drag Little Loki and Yaya down with her!

After Tang Li Xue discussed it carefully with Little Loki and Yaya in a few minutes or so, they finally decided to go to the egg incubation room first.

Even though Tang Li Xue really wanted to head into the herb and elixir room first to obtain the treasures with star energy there, but soaking in the extremely high-grade spiritual spring pool at the egg incubation room could greatly increase their strength in a short time.

If they could become a lot stronger, it would definitely increase their safety when they explore other places later, so it should be the wisest choice for them right now.

Tang Li Xue temporarily bid farewell to Xiʼer as she took the stairs on the left that headed to the egg incubation room.

Just like Xiʼer had told them, Tang Li Xue did not see any zombified creatures wandering around in the long corridor after climbing the stairs like in the Medicine Garden Palace since Xiʼer had already cleaned them up.
There were many bedrooms along the long corridor. Other than exquisite furniture and porcelain, there was nothing precious stored inside those bedrooms.

Tang Li Xue did not bother to check the rooms on her way one by one as she only needed to follow Little Lokiʼs treasure-

sensing ability to lead them to find the egg incubation room.

Little Loki and even the strange monstrous creature were unable to sense the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree]ʼs existence before because the Medicine Garden Palace was isolated and covered with many kinds of battered and complicated layers of formations.

But this underwater palace was only covered with protective formations, so Little Loki could still use its sharp sense of smell to faintly probe the location of the extremely high-grade spiritual spring pool.

It did not take long for Tang Li Xueʼs group to reach the gate to the egg incubation room.

Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm down her mood, but before she could push open the gate to enter the egg incubation room, Tang Li Xue sensed her perfect copy was actually in danger because her perfect copy had already been surrounded by the army or mermen outside the underwater palace.

The main reason for that was because the crimson carapace mermen were much more troublesome than she had expected.

Not only did they have a strong defense and powerful strength, but they could also combine water and ice spells to restrain the perfect copyʼs speed.

Without any other choice, Tang Li Xue could only use her [Twin Moons] divine ability to un-summon her perfect copy before her perfect copy wastefully used her [Sun And Moon Aegis]ʼs deadly blow protections, then re-summon her back again to her side.

”What the heck are you doing?! You cannot even last for half an hour against those crab soldiers?! How embarassing~!” Tang Li Xue playfully mocked her perfect copy.

The perfect copy rolled her topaz blue eyes and replied in a displeasure tone: ”It is really easy for you to say that! Why donʼt you just try to get out and fight against all of those stinky fishes and crabs there alone?!”

Tang Li Xue instantly shut her mouth. She really almost forgot about those mermenʼs unbearable fishy rotten stench which made herself and her perfect copy suffer mental trauma before.

The perfect copy added again in a mocking tone: ”Now you finally realize my sacrifice, right? You should be grateful that I was willing to be a bait to attract the attention of those stinky creatures!”

Tang Li Xue patted her perfect copyʼs shoulder. Even Little Loki and Yaya were staring at her with a pair of eyes filled with admiration.

”Yes, you are really great~! You are fighting against them for so long, and their stench does not even linger on your body. We are very amazed by you! Now, you can just rest outside here. We can explore this egg incubation room without your help.” Tang Li Xue praised and comforted her perfect copy.

The perfect copyʼs pink lips twitched slightly in annoyance.

She clearly bravely sacrificed herself as a bait for them, but these heartless people... or, beasts to be exact, were afraid that she would smell like those stinky mermen instead.

After joking around for a while, Tang Li Xue pushed open the gate and brought Little Loki and Yaya into the egg incubation room.

But she really did not bring her perfect copy with her and let her perfect copy just took a rest in the corridor because if she met with any trap or danger inside the egg incubation room later, she could still run away with [Swap] skill to exchange her location with her perfect copy at any time.
