Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: Capital City’s Sleepless Night!

.....

.

Back to fifteen minutes earlier.

Xu Yang, Taoist Uncle, and all the old ancestors arrived at the Imperial Treasury, but some of them immediately realized that something was not right.

Some of these old ancestors took turns guarding the Imperial Treasury for many years, so they quickly found the hole in the Imperial Treasury’s wall!

”Not good, Crown Prince Xu!” One of the Grandmasters yelled in panic.

”What is wrong?!” Xu Yang frowned deeply and asked in a worried tone as he, Taoist Uncle, and the other old ancestors rushed toward the grandmaster that yelled just now.

”How could there be a hole here?!” The bald Grandmaster Shi shouted in shock and disbelief.

”Someone must have been sneaking into the Imperial Treasury when we were busy fighting against the Corrupted Heavenly Golden Dragon before!” The hunchback old woman replied in a cold tone.

”No! Quickly check what’s missing from the Imperial Treasury!” The Grandmaster, with long white eyebrows, shouted as he quickly opened the gates of the Imperial Treasury with the key he took out from his spatial ring.

He also somehow deactivated all the traps and protective formations inside the Imperial Treasury before he brought Xu Yang, Taoist Uncle, and the other old ancestors into the Imperial Treasury.

Some of the old ancestors quickly spread and checked what was missing inside the Imperial Treasury.

After three minutes or so, those old ancestors gathered again and reported to Xu Yang in a relieved tone: ”Many things have been stolen, but fortunately, it is still within an acceptable range.”

”Less than half of the high-tier spirit stones and Yuan Coins stored on the first floor had gone.”

”All of the precious cultivation resources stored on the second floor had also lost, but at least, all the high-level spirit weapons and treasures remained untouched.”

”The most important thing is that the three national weapons of the Great Wei Dynasty are still there.”

All of the old ancestors sighed in relief.

It might be really hurt to lose that much in one day, but at the very least, it would not affect the Great Wei Dynasty much in the short term.

The expressions of Xu Yang and Taoist Uncle became weird after he heard the report from the old ancestors.

This theft incident was truly strange...

The thief could steal half of the high-tier spirit stones and Yuan Coins, plus all the precious cultivation resources stored on the second floor, so why didn’t the thief just empty the entire Imperial Treasury?

Unless the culprit was someone they knew...

Both Xu Yang and Taoist Uncle immediately thought of Tang Li Xue.

Not to mention that Tang Li Xue also previously said that she had a lot of debt, around eighty billion or something.

Xu Yang really wanted to go back and interrogate Tang Li Xue, but this was clearly not the right time to do it.

Both Xu Yang and Taoist Uncle tacitly decided not to mention anything about their suspicion.

”Let’s go! Take all three national treasures and head straight to the Heavenly Prison!” Xu Yang said firmly to all of them.

.....

...

.

After Xu Yang took all three national treasures and led all the old ancestors to the Heavenly Prison, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, who was currently disguised as the deceased old emperor, suddenly opened her eyes inside the ice coffin.

It was quite scary, like the scene in a horror movie.

If anyone had seen this scene, they might cry and run in fright or even have a heart attack on the spot.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy pushed open the ice coffin’s lid and jumped out from the ice coffin.

”Oh, well... Sleeping inside this ice coffin is not bad. It is quite comfortable. Unfortunately, this has to end so soon, and I have to go back and practice hard inside the pagoda again.” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy stretched her body while smiling playfully.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy snapped her finger, and a cluster of Golden Sun Flames appeared on the tip of her finger.

The Golden Sun Flames fell to the jade floor and spread rapidly until they engulfed the entire Hall of Central Harmony!

Then Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy instantly disappeared from there when the real Tang Li Xue resummoned her perfect copy back to her side and threw her perfect copy back to [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] to practice.

The Golden Sun Flames burned the entire Hall of Central Harmony, along with the ice coffin, into ashes in only one minute or so.

Even if anyone tried to find any traces of the deceased old emperor’s body, they probably could not do so because there were no clues left.

.....

...

.

Right at this time, Shao Ying had led Tang Li Xue’s team and Ji Xuanming’s team back to the forest near the Great Wei’s Capital City, where they had opened the teleportation portal from the Fox Clan City before.

Shao Ying took out her white jade badge from her space pouch and used it to open the teleportation portal to the Fox Clan City again.

”You all can go back to the Fox Clan City first. I still have something important to do, so I will not go back with you all.” Shao Ying said to Tang Li Xue and Ji Xuanming.

Tang Li Xue and her team did not feel anything since they were not that close with Shao Ying, but Ji Xuanming and his team were different.

The relationship between Ji Xuanming, Feng Ying, and Feng Shuang with Shao Ying was like that of Tang Li Xue with Instructor Mei Lan.

They were teacher and disciples.

Even though Ji Xuanming was always rude to Shao Ying, but he secretly respected her very much.

”That... Would it be very dangerous if you went back to the Capital City now? Then can you just bring us with you? I am sure we can help you to...” Ji Xuanming worriedly said to Shao Ying.

But Shao Ying shook her head to reject Ji Xuanming’s idea.

”Don’t worry. I will not do anything risky. I will only keep an eye on everything that happens in the Capital City, so I can report it to the higher-ups later.” Shao Ying explained in a reassuring tone to Ji Xuanming.

Without waiting for Ji Xuanming’s reply, Shao Ying forcefully kicked him into the teleportation portal along with Feng Ying and Feng Shuang.

Tang Li Xue was afraid that she would also be kicked by Shao Ying, so she hastily entered the teleportation portal with Yaya, Lucia, Xi’er, and Little Loki.

The teleportation portal quickly closed after Ji Xuanming’s team and Tang Li Xue’s team entered, leaving only Shao Ying alone in the dark forest.

”Finally, all nuisances are gone. Why don’t you all come out yet?” Shao Ying muttered in a lazy manner.

After a few moments of silence, three figures wrapped in black cloaks suddenly appeared right in front of Shao Ying.

”Oh, that was so cute~! It was truly a touching scene~! Hehehe, totally unexpected from the infamous Black-Hearted Puppeteer, Shao Ying.” One of the figures spoke up in a playful tone.

”All right, so it is finally our turn, huh... I am almost covered in moss and rust from waiting for you here.” The other figure uttered lazily while stretching her voluptuous body.

”Let’s finish this quickly. I still have many tasks to do tomorrow.” The last figure said in a cold and indifferent tone.

These three figures were the foxes of the same rank as Shao Ying in the Fox Clan City.

Zhu Xueqin, Head of Trading Department.

Lin Wanwan, Head of Assassination Department.

Xiaoyu, Head of the Inspector Department.

And lastly, Shao Ying, Chief of the Information Agency Department.

”You three should already know what we have to do, right?” Shao Ying asked in a sceptical tone.

The three charming fox ladies in black cloaks nodded their heads in unison.

”Looting items.”

”Killing people.”

”Taking control.”

Shao Ying’s red lips twitched after she heard their answer.

Their answer was not wrong, but... it just made her worried.

These three were not fuel-efficient foxes after all.

Based on Miss Bookkeeper’s instruction, their Fox Clan still planned to reach some cooperation with the Great Wei Dynasty after Xu Yang became the next emperor, so they should not go too far and offend Xu Yang for now.

”Just remember not to do it too much, or I will report it ’truthfully’ to Miss Bookkeeper later.” Shao Ying reminded in a threatening tone.

The three fox ladies shuddered slightly when Shao Ying mentioned Bookkeeper’s name.

From their reaction, it seemed that they were quite afraid of the Bookkeeper.

”Let’s go!” Shao Ying murmured as she sprinted back to the Capital City with unbelievable speed, faster than even Lucia with her [Slow Motion] buff activated.

The three fox ladies in black cloaks followed closely right behind Shao Ying with ease.

It could easily be seen from their current astonishing speed that their strength was far from weak.

Even the extremely chaotic and dangerous situation in the Capital City was only a mere playground in their eyes.

Just like Shao Ying had said before, Tang Li Xue, Ji Xuanming, and the others would only be burdens for her if they followed her back to Capital City.

Without any need to protect Tang Li Xue, Ji Xuanming, and the others or worrying about their safety, Shao Ying, the Black-Hearted Puppeteer, could finally show her true strength.

It seemed the Capital City of the Great Wei Dynasty was fated to have a sleepless night with these four fox ladies joining the fray.
