Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 916: Embarrassed Xiao Hei!

Between Tang Li Xueʼs safety and Xiao Heiʼs life, Instructor Mei Lan decided to choose Tang Li Xueʼs safety without any hesitation.

Instructor Mei Lan took a deep breath to calm down her unpleasant mood before she told Elder Yang with a painful expression: ”Our team went to explore a secret realm before, but there was a terrifying monster imprisoned inside the secret realm. Just right before the secret realm collapsed, Little Xue sacrificed herself to let us out of the secret realm.”

The evil murderous aura exploded out of Elder Yangʼs body, but it was not aimed at Instructor Mei Lan.

What Xiao Hei blamed the most at this time was actually himself.

If only he was stronger...

If only he was by Tang Li Xueʼs side at that time...

If only...

There were so many regretful ʼifsʼ flashed in his mind.

However, he quickly suppressed his feelings and swallowed his saliva, then asked Instructor Mei Lan again in a trembling voice: ”But Little Xue should be still alive, right?”

Xiao Hei did not even feel a tiny bit afraid when he broke into the Asura Demon Sect alone or got hunted by so many cultivators from Immortal Sword Sect, but at this time, he was actually very afraid to hear Instructor Mei Lanʼs reply.

Even though he already heard from Ye Chen that Tang Li Xue should be still alive somewhere, but that was only a possibility.

If Instructor Mei Lan answered that Tang Li Xue had passed away, he might not be able to hold out anymore.

Thankfully, Instructor Mei Lan did not have any intention to lie at this point and replied truthfully to him: ”Little Xueʼs name is still on our monument, so she should be still alive. However, her name turned red since a few days ago which means she was dying.”

Instructor Mei Lan hesitated for a while before she gave in and took a scroll from her space pouch, then threw it to Xiao Hei while saying: ”This is the map with the location of the secret realm before it collapsed. I hope you can contact us as soon as possible if you find any clue about Little Xueʼs whereabouts.”

”My Fox Clan has already sent many teams to find Little Xue, but we still have not found any trace or clue about her.” Instructor Mei Lan concluded her explanation.

Xiao Hei sighed in relief after he heard Instructor Mei Lanʼs reply.

”It is all right, as long as she is still alive... Can you tell me the location of the secret realm? I will definitely do my best to find her!” Xiao Hei said in an earnest tone as he promised to find Tang Li Xue as soon as possible.

Instructor Mei Lan hesitated for a while before she gave in and took a scroll from her space pouch, then threw it to Xiao Hei while saying: ”This is the map with the location of the secret realm before it collapsed. I hope you can contact us as soon as possible if you find any clue about Little Xueʼs whereabouts.”

”Donʼt get me wrong! I still hate you very much, and I would never let you approach Little Xue anymore! But Little Xueʼs safety should be our top priority right now.” Instructor Mei Lan added in a sullen tone.

Xiao Hei caught the scroll thrown by Instructor Mei Lan and hurriedly unfurled it.

He finally sighed in relief after making sure the map was real.

The small and cute Elder Chu put her hands on her hips with a smug and pleasant expression as if she was doing a great job and said: ”This is very good, right?! With this cooperation, I am sure the chance to find the missing student will be greatly increased!”

After putting the map away carefully into his spatial ring, Xiao Hei took a deep breath before he bowed his head and sincerely spoke: ”Thank you very much to Fox Teacher and Little Fox Elder for this information. This information is extremely important for me.”

”Humph~!” Instructor Mei Lan still snorted unhappily, but she did not say anything to taunt Xiao Hei again.

Meanwhile, Elder Chuʼs projection widened her eyes in disbelief while muttering: ”Wh... Wha... What did you just say?!”

”Eh? This information is extremely important for me?” Xiao Hei replied in puzzlement.

”No, before that!” Elder Chu cutely gnashed her pearl-white teeth while her small body trembled slightly.

”Thank you very much to Fox Teacher and Little Fox Elder for this...” Xiao Hei replied again in more bewilderment, but before he could finish his words...

”LITTLE?! You- How dare you call me Little?! I am clearly much older than you, little brat! You disrespectful human child~! It seems I have to teach you a lesson on how to respect your elders!” Elder Chu blurted in rage.

Well, her angry expression still looked very adorable though, so it was hard to feel intimidated by her.

Instructor Mei Lan secretly chuckled mockingly at Xiao Hei as he stood behind Elder Chu silently.

Even though Elder Chuʼs height was only one meter tall, but she really hated it when someone called her ʼLittleʼ or ʼSmallʼ!

There was something wrong that happened when Elder Chu evolved into a true spirit beast which caused her body to shrink and become a lot younger like this.

Many foxes in the Fox Clan were making fun of her small size because of her cute appearance and her tiny size before, but no one dared to do it anymore right now after she became the high elder of the Formation Department.

It was because she would forcefully suppress everyone who dared to make fun of her in her advanced formation for a few days to a few months.

Instructor Mei Lan heard the story from her mother and even her father was once suppressed by Elder Chu using her formation for six months after he called Elder Chu ʼLittle Green Headʼ while rubbing Elder Chuʼs tiny head.

Instructor Mei Lan was really looking forward to how Elder Chu would punish Xiao Hei now.

Looking at the small Elder Chu who puffed out her cheek cutely and glared at him angrily, Xiao Hei immediately realized that the current situation was not right.

”No, Elder, I...” Xiao Hei tried to explain himself, but Elder Chu clearly did not want to hear Xiao Heiʼs explanation.

Xiao Heiʼs divine sense sensed something dangerous coming from above, so he hastily condensed his [Asura Demon Godʼs Avatar] to protect himself.

Unfortunately, his action was completely futile.

BOOOOOOOOOOM~!

Even his [Asura Demon Godʼs Avatar] could not help him block the suppression from the trial siteʼs formations controlled by Elder Chu.

His [Asura Demon Godʼs Avatar] was disintegrated into black fog while Xiao Hei was tightly pressed deep into the ground.

Xiao Hei gritted his teeth in pain as he felt many of his bones should be cracked under this devastating attack.

Just when Xiao Hei thought that Elder Chu might want to kill him, the invisible power suddenly pulled him upward instead and violently threw him out of the trial site like throwing garbage.

BAAAAANG~!

After hurled for hundreds of meters, Xiao Hei finally fell heavily back onto the ground and rolled a few more dozen meters.

Before Xiao Hei could stand up, someone flying suddenly landed near him.

”Wow, what a beautiful landing you have there~! Cough, by the way, are you okay? Do you need my help?” Ye Chen praised Xiao Hei while nodding his head with a strange smile on his face before he asked in a nonchalant tone.

Ye Chen actually followed Xiao Hei and came to the Fox Clanʼs trial site too, but he did not dare to step into the trial site which was covered with extremely thick white fog.

Anyway, Xiao Hei already entered the Fox Clanʼs trial site, so Ye Chen thought he just needed to wait for the result from Xiao Hei.

Now, Ye Chen was really glad that he did not follow Xiao Hei to step into the Fox Clanʼs trial site, or his fate might have been even worse than Xiao Heiʼs.

Xiao Heiʼs body twitched slightly before he slowly stood up while hissing in pain.

The damage Xiao Hei received could actually be said insignificant since this kind of injury meant nothing to the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, but the embarrassment was truly unbearable for Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei glared at Ye Chen and yelled at him angrily: ”Why are you here?! Do you really want me to kill you so badly?!”

Ye Chen casually shrugged his shoulder and replied: ”It is up to you. But I have to remind you that my army of zombies might be able to help us find Fox Goddess much quicker as long as we know the location where she was missing last time.”

Xiao Hei felt Ye Chenʼs words were right, so he could only swallow his shame and refrain himself from killing Ye Chen for now. At least until they managed to find Tang Li Xue later.

Xiao Hei snorted unhappily as he swiftly flew toward the sky toward the location shown on the map given by Instructor Mei Lan.

”Hey, wait for me~!” Ye Chen shouted as he took out Rongrong corpse puppet from his space bag and ordered the puppet to carry him to quickly chase after Xiao Hei.

.....

While Xiao Hei and Ye Chen were trying hard to find her, Tang Li Xue, who was currently in the Azure Mist Continent, had finished her preparations and was ready to meet with the Third Prince.

ʼI hope everything will go smoothly today...ʼ Tang Li Xue silently prayed in her heart.

Today, she would not only tour around the Great Weiʼs Imperial City with the Third Prince for fun, but she would also take the first step of her plan to escape from this place.

After the maids tidied up her silky long silver hair with hair accessories and her gorgeous purple Hanfu dress, Tang Li Xue also put on her [Aura Hiding Cloak] to cover her fox tails and fox ears, and [Moon Covering Veil] to cover her stunningly beautiful face.

When she stepped out of her room, Tang Li Xue saw that the Third Prince was already waiting for her in the yard.
