Reincarnated As a Fox With System-Chapter 921: Finding Substitute!

After Tang Li Xue and the Third Prince went back to their courtyard, Tang Li Xue immediately bid farewell to the Third Prince and ran back to her room with Little Loki in her arms.

Then Tang Li Xue drove all of the maids out of her room before she closed the door.

When she was alone in her room, Tang Li Xue threw Little Loki onto her bed and jumped onto her soft bed while grumbling: "What a tiring day~! I almost could not come back!"

"Urgh, I really want to just have a good sleep tonight, but unfortunately, I still have a lot of things I have to do." Tang Li Xue groaned while flailing her arms in agitation on the bed.

Little Loki disdainfully rolled its eyes and reprimanded Tang Li Xue: "Nyaw Meeoow~!" (Stop complaining~!)

Tang Li Xue sat on her bed and patted Little Loki’s tiny head gently, then thanked it with a bright smile on her stunning face: "Thank you very much, Little Loki~! If not for your timely warning, I would have already died by now!"

Little Loki smugly puffed its furry chest while enjoying Tang Li Xue’s gentle caress. Even its furry tails were wagging around comfortably.

After playing around with Little Loki for a while, Tang Li Xue took something out from the space pouch given by Xi’er before.

The item she took out was actually an Isolation Talisman to isolate the entire room, so no one could secretly peek into her room with divine sense.

Tang Li Xue threw the Isolation Talisman in her grasp and activated it to seal her entire room, then she took out the map of the Azure Mist Continent and several books from her space pouch.

The content of these several books was information about the location of the treasures and beasts that could be found in the Azure Mist Continent.

"All right, the first thing I have to do is to determine my next destination after I escape from this place. If I just randomly wander around without any clear destination, I would definitely get caught sooner or later." Tang Li Xue murmured in a solemn tone.

Tang Li Xue also took out a bottle of ink and a brush from her space pouch, then began to mark the map of the Azure Mist Continent based on the information from the books.

After working for a few hours without rest, the sun outside had already risen without Tang Li Xue realizing it.

When the maids knocked on the door of Tang Li Xue’s room in the morning as usual, Tang Li Xue hastily put away all of the messy things on her table into her space pouch before she let those maids enter her room.

After those maids helped her take a bath, tidy up her appearance, and serve her breakfast, she immediately chased them out of her room again.

The Third Prince actually also came to visit Tang Li Xue, but Tang Li Xue refused to meet him with the reason that she felt unwell because of yesterday’s incident, so she wanted to take a rest today.

While Tang Li Xue was working hard in her room, Little Loki was not idle either.

Without anyone realizing it, the tiny Little Loki had already secretly sneaked out from Tang Li Xue’s room very early this morning.

Its task was to wander around the Imperial Palace while eavesdropping for any useful information from the other people.

Tang Li Xue, who locked herself in her room today, held her forehead and complained while staring at the map of the Azure Mist Continent in frustration: "There is still too little information about Beast Race, and most of the information from these books is also vague."

"But it could not be helped since the Human Race in this Azure Mist Continent is too much stronger compared to the Beast Race."

"All of the wild beast’s lairs known by humans were already invaded, and all beasts there had been caught by humans and raised in captive like livestock. Sigh, they are really so miserable..." Tang Li Xue sighed in pity.

Right at this time, the communication talisman in Tang Li Xue’s space pouch suddenly vibrated which meant that someone called her through it.

Tang Li Xue took out the communication talisman and picked up the call, then a cheerful voice immediately resounded from her communication talisman: "Sister Xue~! I heard from the people on the street that the Imperial Carriage exploded last night. Was the Imperial Carriage that exploded your carriage?"

"Are you all right? You’re not hurt, are you?" Explore more at novelbuddy

"Are the healing pills I bought yesterday enough for you to use?"

"Should I buy more healing pills and bring them back to you now?"

...

Xi’er’s worried voice kept chattering nonstop from Tang Li Xue’s communication talisman which even made Tang Li Xue dizzy.

"All right, stop there~! The Imperial Carriage that exploded last night was indeed my carriage, but I was completely unharmed by it. It was all thanks to Little Loki’s timely warning, so I could get out of the carriage right before it exploded, so you do not need to worry too much, Xi’er." Tang Li Xue explained it clearly to Xi’er.

"Really? I am glad that you are not hurt. I heard from these people that the explosion was so destructive that many buildings were destroyed and many people on the street were dead." Xi’er told Tang Li Xue in a worried tone.

After calming Xi’er down, Tang Li Xue asked about the progress of the tasks she had given to Xi’er: "Have you already bought that ’thing’?"

"That... I am sorry, Sister Xue. I have asked so many butcher shops since this morning but no one is selling fox’s dead body." Xi’er replied in a regretful tone.

Yes, Tang Li Xue actually asked Xi’er to buy the fox’s dead body.

Tang Li Xue planned to use that fox’s dead body as her substitute when she escaped from this place later, so the Third Prince would think the fox’s dead body was her corpse in the end.

Unfortunately, she had clearly miscalculated the Fox Clan’s value in the eyes of the Human Race.

Xi’er immediately explained this point to Tang Li Xue: "When I asked them about that, those people even laughed at me. Sister Xue, you may not know that every fox from the Fox Clan is actually so precious in the eyes of the Human Race."

"The reason is because all the foxes in the Fox Clan are well-known for their peerless charming appearance. Whether female foxes or male foxes, they can be sold for sky-high prices!"

"So, no one will kill the foxes from the Fox Clan. They would rather choose to catch any foxes alive and sell them or just keep them as their pets instead." Xi’er ended her words while feeling pity for Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue instantly felt a great headache after she heard Xi’er’s explanation.

Without the fox’s dead body, her escape plan would become flawed.

Tang Li Xue dared to bet that she would definitely get caught or killed before she could get out of the Imperial City if she just ran away from the Imperial Palace without using the fox’s dead body as her substitute to deceive everyone and make them think that she had already died.

’Sigh, this is really troublesome~! If only I could still use my [Twin Moons] divine ability and summon out my perfect copy, then I would not have to bother doing all these troublesome things!’ Tang Li Xue sighed in frustration.

"Is there really no way to find the fox’s dead body? It is okay even if it is incomplete." Tang Li Xue reluctantly muttered to Xi’er.

Xi’er replied in a helpless tone: "Sorry, Sister Xue, but I think it should be almost impossible to find. Unless you want to find a living fox, then maybe I can find one, but it should be impossible for me to buy it with my current money."

"As for stealing it, it would not be that easy because I heard all of those living foxes are probably in the hands of people from the Royal Family or Aristocratic Families." Xi’er added to tell Tang Li Xue.

"Living fox? No, no, no... You do not need to buy or steal them." Tang Li Xue hastily rejected it.

Even if she had a living fox, Tang Li Xue would not have the heart to kill it and use it as her substitute.

"Damn it~! Is there really no way to find a substitute for me to... Hey, wait a minute... Substitute?" A light of inspiration suddenly flashed in Tang Li Xue’s mind as her topaz blue eyes shone brilliantly in excitement.

"That is right! Since I cannot find a fox’s corpse, then I just need to replace it with another beast corpse that is similar to a fox!" Tang Li Xue yelled happily.

"Wow, you are so smart, Sister Xue~!" Xi’er also praised Tang Li Xue in an excited tone.

However, Xi’er quickly calmed down and began to worry, so she asked Tang Li Xue again: "But will it really work? I mean there should be some difference, right? Such as the color of the fur, body shape, or eye color?"

Tang Li Xue still smiled happily as she answered: "You do not need to worry about such details. I can find a way to cover that later. All you have to do is to find the beast’s corpse that is similar to a fox. Please try to get it as soon as possible, Xier! I have a bad feeling as if a great danger is quickly approaching me." Tang Li Xue urged Xi’er in a solemn tone.
