Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1004: Chapter 1004: Devastated Tang Li Xue!

When Tang Li Xue told the story about [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], she secretly observed the Bookkeeper’s expression and reaction, but the Bookkeeper did not show any reaction at all.

Bookkeeper even noticed Tang Li Xue’s wary reaction and chuckled in amusement before she asked: ”Are you that afraid that I will take that pagoda from you?”

Without waiting for Tang Li Xue’s reply, Bookkeeper continued to say: ”You do not need to worry about it. Our Fox Clan may not be the strongest in the Beast Race, but we should be one of the richest among the Beast Race.”

”That broken immortal pagoda may be tempting for others, but our Fox Clan already has a few similar treasures to that broken immortal pagoda. Of course, it would be best if you never tell anyone about it other than me.” The Bookkeeper explained to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue sighed in relief after she heard Bookkeeper’s words.

Tang Li Xue gave back the Story Book to the Bookkeeper since her story had come to an end after she obtained the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] and headed straight to the Frost Pine Town to meet with Shao Ying.

Bookkeeper took the Story Book from Tang Li Xue while muttering: ”Okay, is there anything you want to ask me?”

The Bookkeeper could sense that there were many things Tang Li Xue wanted to ask her since the very start, but Tang Li Xue still held herself back and reported everything that had happened to her to the Bookkeeper first.

”Miss Bookkeeper, can I ask you about Instructor Lan and the others? Are all of them safe and well?” Tang Li Xue asked in an impatient tone.

”All of them are safe and well, thanks to your sacrifice.” The Bookkeeper replied while smiling gently.

Tang Li Xue felt very relieved after she heard Instructor Mei Lan, Teacher Li Wei, Silly Fox, and the others were all right.

”Only Zhu Jun did not make it. He... sacrificed himself to buy time for others to escape from the collapsing space tunnel.” The Bookkeeper continued to say to Tang Li Xue.

”Chief Zhu Jun? How could he... I am sorry, my condolences.” Tang Li Xue found it quite hard to believe since Zhu Jun should be the strongest one among them, but he was the one who did not survive in the end.

The Bookkeeper sighed and said again: ”Is there anything you want to tell Mei Lan or the others in Lightwind Continent? I can help you convey it to them later.”

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply and asked: ”Miss Bookkeeper, can you just bring me back to Lightwind Continent, so I can get together with everyone again?”

In Tang Li Xue’s opinion, the Bookkeeper should be able to bring her back to Lightwind Continent since she could come to this Azure Mist Continent to meet with her.

Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue’s hope immediately shattered as Bookkeeper shook her head, then replied in a helpless tone: ”I am sorry, but I cannot do it.”

”Wha... What?! But... why?!” Tang Li Xue questioned in an unconvinced tone.

The Bookkeeper waved her slender hand elegantly, then another book instantly flew out from the bookshelves and landed on her palm.

The Bookkeeper opened the book and tapped one of the pages.

A huge map suddenly projected right above the book and tea table.

”This is the map of the entire world. It is not perfect yet, but at least it can still be used to show us the location of Lightwind Continent and Azure Mist Continent.” The Bookkeeper stated to Tang Li Xue.

Two red dots appeared on the huge world map.

”The red dot at the upper left is Lightwind Continent, while the red dot near the center of the lower right is Azure Mist Continent.” The Bookkeeper muttered to Tang Li Xue.

”This... It is so far away?!” Tang Li Xue realized what the Bookkeeper wanted to say to her.

She needed around one month to travel from the Great Wei Dynasty’s Capital City to Frost Pine Town at the border of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Then, how long would she need to travel from Azure Mist Continent to Lightwind Continent?

Ten years? Twenty years? Or maybe even longer than that!

Tang Li Xue instantly felt devastated.

But Tang Li Xue was still unwilling to give up, so she asked Bookkeeper again: ”Then how could you come here in such a short period of time from Lightwind Continent?”

The Bookkeeper chuckled after she heard Tang Li Xue’s question.

She stared at Tang Li Xue and replied with a mysterious smile on her beautiful face: ”Because the ’me’ here is not the ’me’ in Lightwind Continent.”

”Eh? What~?! What do you mean by that?” Tang Li Xue asked dumbfoundedly.

However, the Bookkeeper clearly did not want to explain it too much to Tang Li Xue, so she shortly hinted to Tang Li Xue: ”You only need to know that I am everywhere. As long as the Fox Clan is living there, then I should also be there.”

Tang Li Xue: ”?!”

Tang Li Xue still did not understand the meaning of the Bookkeeper’s words, but it definitely sounded very mind-blowing.

The Bookkeeper giggled in amusement when she saw Tang Li Xue’s silly astonished expression with her mouth agape wide, then the Bookkeeper inquired again: ”Is there anything else you want to ask me? Didn’t you say you wanted to ask for my help before?”

”Oh, right~! Miss Bookkeeper, you should already know that I have got the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]. I want to try to fix it, but I am afraid that it will trigger an eye-catching phenomenon. Can you please help me cover the phenomenon?” Tang Li Xue politely requested to Bookkeeper.

The Bookkeeper chuckled while staring at Tang Li Xue before she continued to say: ”Oh? From your tone, it seems that you have full confidence that you can definitely fix that pagoda.”

Tang Li Xue choked on her own saliva, then she did not dare to say anything more to the Bookkeeper.

’Damn, it is really too scary and stressful to talk with smart people!’ Tang Li Xue helplessly thought.

The Bookkeeper giggled in amusement when she saw Tang Li Xue’s stressed but helpless expression.

”All right, I will not tease you again. My library is completely isolated from the outside world, so you can try to fix your pagoda here.” The Bookkeeper uttered to Tang Li Xue again.

The Bookkeeper could easily guess that Tang Li Xue did not want anyone to know her secret, including her, so she gracefully stood up from her seat and led Tang Li Xue to the empty room at the corner of the library.

”This room should be my bedroom, but I never use it. Well, I no longer need to sleep anymore after all.” The Bookkeeper explained to Tang Li Xue.

The bedroom looked very luxurious and comfortable to live in, with deluxe furniture and a soft double bed.

Tang Li Xue was really afraid that she would damage the luxurious-looking furniture and decorations, so she reluctantly said to the Bookkeeper: ”Err, thank you very much for your kindness, but can you just give me an empty room, please?”

The Bookkeeper chuckled while tapping at Tang Li Xue’s forehead gently and said: ”You are really such a silly fox cub. Can you just put away all of those things in the room into your space pouch first and empty the room by yourself? Of course, you’d better tidy up this room again to normal later after you use it.”

”Oh, you are right, hehehe... Okay then... Thank you very much, Miss Bookkeeper.” Tang Li Xue embarrassingly muttered to the Bookkeeper before she bid farewell to the Bookkeeper, entered the room, and closed the door.

Tang Li Xue sat on the bed and sighed in relief while wiping the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeve.

After calming herself down for a few minutes, she began to think about her future plans.

But she felt devastated again since she could not think of a way to return to Lightwind Continent.

The matter was not only about the distance between Azure Mist Continent and Lightwind Continent, which was too far away, but also the dangers she needed to face on the way.

In short, even if she were given decades of time, there was still a very high chance that she could not return to Lightwind Continent because her and her team’s current strength might not be strong enough to cope with the dangers she would have to face on the way back to Lightwind Continent.

”Forget it... My first priority is to try to restore [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] first, so I can quickly recover all of my strength with it.” Tang Li Xue decided in a firm tone.

Even though TLX really wanted to go back to Lightwind Continent and get together with Instructor Mei Lan and the other as soon as possible, but the most important thing right now was for her to recover her full strength.

She already had enough of becoming a crippled fox who could not do anything other than watching her team fight from afar.

Tang Li Xue hastily stored all the things in the room, such as furniture, decorations, the double bed, and so on, into her space pouch.

After emptying the room, Tang Li Xue tried to summon out [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] as a golden light shot out from her forehead.

Then a palm-sized [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] hovered right above Tang Li Xue’s palm.

”All right then, how could I restore this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]? Should I just pour [Restoration Elixir] onto it? Hello, System? Can you please explain everything about this to me first?” Tang Li Xue tried to ask her Grandpa System.
