Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Bookkeeper’s Mission!

”Cough, umm, uhh, Miss Bookkeeper... Can...Can I pay it in installments?” Tang Li Xue asked softly while her stunningly beautiful face became even redder in embarrassment like a prawn.

Bookkeeper chuckled in amusement before she continued to say: ”I am just joking with you. How about this? You do not need to pay for the damages, but you have to do one mission for me.”

”One mission?” The perfect copy asked in a tone filled with disbelief.

”Yes, only one mission.” The bookkeeper nodded and repeated it again.

”It would take some time for me to contact Mei Lan and the others in Lightwind Continent. Rather than remain idle and wait for their reply, you can try to complete the mission I give to you first. Don’t worry. I would not blame you even if you failed to complete the mission.” The Bookkeeper kindly stated to Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy.

”Really? It is really okay even if I failed to complete the mission.” The perfect copy’s topaz blue eyes instantly brightened like a pair of blue stars.

The perfect copy felt really embarrassed for not being able to pay for the damages her real self caused, but since Bookkeeper offered to give her a mission as damages compensation, then she decided not to reject Bookkeeper’s kindness.

”Okay then. I promise to do my best to complete the mission given by Miss Bookkeeper.” The perfect copy solemnly promised to the Bookkeeper.

Yes, she will try her best to complete the mission, so even if she still fails, then please do not blame her at that time.

The Bookkeeper chuckled and replied with her usual leisure tone: ”You do not need to be so serious. Just think of this mission as a game to pass your spare time.”

The Bookkeeper took out a picture from her space pouch and showed it to Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy immediately recognized the person in the picture.

”Miracle Doctor Xu?” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy asked in a confused tone.

’So, my mission will be related to Miracle Doctor Xu?’ The perfect copy concluded in her mind.

The Bookkeeper nodded and explained further: ”You should have already known that this person is the Yama Palace Master, right?”

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy nodded her head.

The Bookkeeper continued to explain: ”Just so you know, the Yama Palace actually has quite a close relationship with us, Fox Clan. Of course, our Fox Clan also has a cooperative relationship with many anti-government factions, but Yama Palace is the most special among them all.”

”Because it could be said that the Yama Palace was founded by our Fox Clan.” The Bookkeeper stated a shocking fact as if it were nothing important.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy widened her topaz blue eyes in disbelief at the Bookkeeper’s shocking statement.

The Bookkeeper added in a leisurely tone: ”Beast Race had been suppressed so badly by the Human Race in this Azure Mist Continent, so our initial plan was to use humans to fight against humans. Let them fight among themselves until their own ambitions destroy themselves.”

”We secretly founded Yama Palace as an assassin organization through several hidden channels. We provided information and plenty of cultivation resources, then spread the branches all over the Azure Mist Continent.”

”Although the Yama Palace was secretly founded by our Fox Clan, we did not have any control over the Yama Palace. But as long as the Yama Palace continues to assassinate humans and makes enough mess until the Human Race on the Azure Mist Continent is too busy to care about our Beast Race, then our objective for establishing it has already been achieved.” The Bookkeeper concluded her story.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy dropped her jaw in shock.

’Horrible~! Fox Clan is so horrible! No, it should be Bookkeeper, who is so horrible!’ Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy secretly felt scared in her heart.

Perfect Copy’s slim body shuddered slightly in fear as she really did not dare to even imagine if Bookkeeper was her enemy.

The Bookkeeper chuckled in amusement as she could read what was in Perfect Copy’s mind as clearly as a mirror, but she did not bother to say it out.

”Let’s get back to the topic about your current mission. In short, the Yama Palace under the lead of Xu Yang, or the man you called Miracle Doctor Xu, always tried to distance Yama Palace from us.”

”He is a smart man. He should have already realized our true purpose, so he wanted to draw a clear line with our Fox Clan, so we would not make use of the Yama Palace to bring more chaos into the Azure Mist Continent.”

”That might also be the reason why he treats you so coldly when you met with him for the first time. But his attitude became much nicer and gentler after he realized that you were badly injured and almost crippled by the violent space energy.”

”Well, since he already has a good impression on you, then I want you to try to get close to him and persuade him to join the battle for the throne of the Great Wei Dynasty.” The Bookkeeper stated clearly what Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy had to do in her mission.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy: ”???!!!”

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy instantly felt dizzy when she heard the mission given by the Bookkeeper to her.

”Me? Persuading him to compete for the throne?! No, no, no! I... I can’t... I mean, there is no way he will listen to me, right? We have just met a few times after all!” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy shook her head repeatedly while waving her hands.

The Bookkeeper giggled and said in a playful tone: ”Didn’t I just say it is okay to fail? You just need to try doing it first.”

The perfect copy lowered her head and pondered it for a while before she asked: ”I am still confused. You just said that Miracle Doctor... Xu Yang wanted to keep a distance between his Yama Palace and our Fox Clan. Then why do you want me to persuade him to compete for the throne?”

The perfect copy really did not get it.

Since Xu Yang seemed to know their Fox Clan’s objective to put the Human Race against each other and wanted to keep his distance from their Fox Clan, then why did she need to persuade him to compete for the throne?

Was Bookkeeper not afraid that Xu Yang would backstab the Fox Clan after he became the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty?

The Bookkeeper chuckled and replied to Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy: ”I have my own reason, so you do not need to think too much about it. You can go back to rest today. I will let Shao Ying escort you back to the Capital City of the Great Wei Dynasty tomorrow morning.”

”Uh, oh... Okay.” The perfect copy’s mind was still in a daze, so she only nodded her head to the Bookkeeper and subconsciously walked back to the room where the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] was located.

After Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy was gone from there, Shao Ying suddenly appeared right behind the Bookkeeper and asked in a sceptical tone: ”Miss Bookkeeper, do you think Xu Yang will really follow that little girl’s persuasion?”

”I do not know.” The Bookkeeper shook her head.

Then the Bookkeeper closed the book in her grasp while continuing to say: ”Xu Yang is a very smart man. I have used bribes, deceptions, and coercion to get him to comply with us, but in the end, it just backfired and made him distance himself from us. So this time, I want to try a different approach.”

”Different approach? By helping him to obtain the throne and become the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty?” Shao Ying inquired her bewilderment.

But the Bookkeeper shook her head: ”No.”

Then the Bookkeeper smiled as she continued to say: ”By sending a beauty he could not resist.”

Shao Ying widened her eyes in surprise, but she still remained confused about the Bookkeeper’s true intention.

How could a smart man like Xu Yang be seduced by a naive little fox like Tang Li Xue?! Shao Ying did not believe that it would be that easy.

”Anyway, you have to escort her back to the Capital City of the Great Wei Dynasty tomorrow. But the current situation there is still very tense, so I need you to protect that child’s safety when she is in the Capital City.” The Bookkeeper gave her instructions to Shao Ying.

”Understood!” Shao Ying nodded solemnly before she went out of the library and prepared to leave Fox Clan’s City tomorrow.

Shao Ying was the Fox Clan’s Information Agent Chief of the Great Wei Dynasty, so she had many tasks to do.

Since she needed to protect Tang Li Xue’s safety in Great Wei’s Capital City until the mission was complete, then she had to assign her subordinates to work in her place until she returned.

.....

After the perfect copy went back to [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], she did not bother to explain about the mission to the real Tang Li Xue since their mind was connected to each other.

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply while muttering: ”This mission is not simple.”

The perfect copy sighed and muttered in an unwilling tone: ”Ugh, I really do not want to go back to that hellish Capital City, but it seems we have no other choice right now.”

Tang Li Xue rubbed her forehead in frustration as she said: ”At least our current situation is countless times better than before. Our strength has fully recovered, so it should be much easier for us to escape from there if something bad happens later.”

Tang Li Xue tried to cheer herself up with it.
