Chapter 894: System’s Hint!
After Ye Chen calmed down his breath, he began to explain to Xiao Hei: “I have a technique called [Soul Inquiry]. It is a technique to temporarily establish a connection with the soul of the dead creatures and ask them about any information they knew when they were still alive.”
“I tried to use this [Soul Inquiry] to establish a connection with Fox Goddess, but surprisingly, it failed, and I had already tried so many times.” Ye Chen concluded his explanation as Xiao Hei loosened his grasp on Ye Chen’s collar and finally let him go.
When Ye Chen took a glance at Xiao Hei’s expression, he was agape in shock as he saw tears flowing profusely from Xiao Hei’s eyes.
“You…” Ye Chen almost blurted out his mock, but he immediately swallowed it back. His life was in Xiao Hei’s hands right now after all.
It would be bad if Xiao Hei decided to silence him forever after he saw Xiao Hei’s crying face.
“So, Xiao Bai… is still alive…” Xiao Hei muttered in a tone filled with expectation and joy, even the murderous and eerie crimson light in his eyes faded away a lot compared to before.
If he was like a bloodthirsty demon king before, then he currently looked like a pitiful man who was missing his beloved one.
“Ca… Can you please tell wh… where is she?” Xiao Hei asked stutteringly in excitement.
Ye Chen smiled at Xiao Hei and replied in a relaxed tone: “That is the reason why I came to you. I do not know where she is right now.”
“But one thing is for sure. Since both of us had a bad hunch about her, and we can no longer sense her anymore right now, it means something bad really happened to her, and she is probably no longer in this Lightwind Continent at present.” Ye Chen added again in a sure tone.
“Something bad really happened to her, and she is no longer in this Lightwind Continent?!” Xiao Hei murmured as he frowned deeply in thought.
Then Xiao Hei glared sharply at Ye Chen and asked in a cold tone: “What do you want from me?”
Xiao Hei instantly understood what was in Ye Chen’s mind.
Since Ye Chen came to find him, it meant he should need something crucial from him.
Ye Chen smiled brightly after he heard Xiao Hei’s question. He thought it was really pleasant to talk to a smart guy because he could read his intentions so quickly.
“I need information about Fox Clan. You should have met with the Fox Goddess’s close friends before, right?” Ye Chen stated his objective honestly without hiding it.
“I see, so you want to find the information about her from the Fox Clan. Not a bad plan…” Xiao Hei squinted his eyes and muttered before he stopped paying attention to Ye Chen and turned around, then flew away from the ruined Asura Demon Sect’s headquarters.
“I need information about Fox Clan. You should have met with the Fox Goddess’s close friends before, right?” Ye Chen stated his objective honestly without hiding it.
“I see, so you want to find the information about her from the Fox Clan. Not a bad plan…” Xiao Hei squinted his eyes and muttered before he stopped paying attention to Ye Chen and turned around, then flew away from the ruined Asura Demon Sect’s headquarters.
Some disciples or elders of the Asura Demon Sect might still remain alive there, but he did not have the mood or time to massacre them all since his entire mind was too busy thinking about how he should ask about Tang Li Xue from the other foxes such as Instructor Mei Lan, Silly Fox, and so on.
Xiao Hei knew that they clearly did not see him as a good person after their last unpleasant encounter, so it should be hard for him to ask anything from them.
Xiao Hei already had a huge headache just imagining it, but he had no other choice since he could only find information about Tang Li Xue from them.
“Hey, wait~!” Ye Chen called out loud as he urged Rongrong corpse puppet to carry him and chase after Xiao Hei together.
…..
Meanwhile, Instructor Mei Lan and Silly Fox also had a terrible headache in the Myriad Foxes Academy right now.
They felt really relieved after they found out that Tang Li Xue was still alive, but unfortunately, they were currently grounded in the Myriad Foxes Academy until all of the information about the secret realm collapse along with the victims was fully confirmed.
It might only take a week to a month for the investigation teams sent by the Fox Clan to complete their investigation, but the anxious Instructor Mei Lan and Silly Fox clearly did not want to waste their time waiting for that long!
Not to mention that Tang Li Xue’s name was written in red on the mysterious stone monument which meant she was currently critically injured and needed medical help as soon as possible!
Silly Fox impatiently walked back and forth in the luxurious resting hall of the Residential Building.
“Can you please chill down a bit?! Walking back and forth so fast in front of me like that will only make me dizzy and unable to think!” Instructor Mei Lan scolded Silly Fox in annoyance.
“Instructor Lan~! Is there really nothing we can do to get out from this Myriad Foxes Academy and look for Xue?!” Silly Fox anxiously asked Instructor Mei Lan.
Instructor Mei Lan rolled her beautiful eyes and replied: “You have already asked that hundreds of times in these few days until my ears have callouses!”
“But… But even that crazy Princess and Ice Girl keep asking about Xue, and we have to avoid them by hiding here!” Silly Fox protested again.
They were not allowed to disclose any information about the secret realm collapse and the victims, so they could not tell anything to Princess Yan Fei and Bingbing for now.
Unfortunately, Princess Yan Fei and Bingbing would not give up after Instructor Mei Lan and Silly Fox explained that to them.
Since Princess Yan Fei and Bingbing kept forcing them to tell about what had happened to Tang Li Xue, Instructor Mei Lan and Silly Fox could only try to avoid meeting those two for now.
Instructor Mei Lan shrugged her shoulder as she could only sigh in resignation.
Instructor Mei Lan tried to calm down Silly Fox by saying: “You do not have to worry too much about Little Xue. The investigation teams sent by Fox Clan should be the elite ones. They should be able to find Little Xue and rescue her soon.”
Silly Fox was not calmed down and became even more worried as he asked while gnashing his teeth: “What if even they could not find any clues about Xue’s whereabouts?!”
Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes again and asked: “So what?! Do you think you can do better jobs than them?”
“That… I…” Silly Fox was instantly silenced by Instructor Mei Lan’s merciless question.
“Making any rash move at this point would not help Little Xue at all. On the contrary, we would only make the situation worse if we abandoned the strict order from above and escaped from this Myriad Foxes Academy in order to blindly look for Little Xue.” Instructor Mei Lan explained to Silly Fox.
“We might even be labeled as the rebels later, become the fugitives, and be hunted down by the entire Fox Clan! Do you really those to happen?!” Instructor Mei Lan coldly rebuked Silly Fox.
“Urgh, that…” Silly Fox flinched before he sat weakly on the sofa in disappointment.
It really could not be helped since there was still a chance for them to kill everyone to seize the treasures they got from the Secret Realm.
Not to mention that losing one True Spirit Beast was truly painful for Fox Clan, so Fox Clan needed to make sure that they were really ‘clean’ and everything happened just like what they had been described.
Of course, the chance for that to happen was minuscule, especially after the Bookkeeper interrogated all of them personally.
But the Fox Clan still needed to do the formal investigation and sent their elite investigation teams to inspect the location where the incident occurred.
Until the elite investigation teams completed their task and came back, all of the surviving exploration team members including Teacher Li Wei, Instructor Mei Lan, and Silly Fox were not allowed to go out from the Myriad Foxes Academy.
…..
When everyone was worriedly and anxiously looking for Tang Li Xue’s whereabouts, who knew the current Tang Li Xue was actually sitting leisurely in the luxurious carriage with a handsome man?!
The handsome man kept staring at Tang Li Xue’s fairy-like stunning beautiful face with an obsessed look, while Tang Li Xue boredly stared out from the carriage window, but her face was much paler than usual.
‘Sigh, how the heck it could end up like this?!’ Tang Li Xue sighed helplessly.
As for the reason why she could end up like this, let’s return to a few days ago after the entire Secret Realm completely collapsed.
Before Tang Li Xue could completely be submerged into the Void Space and disappear into nothingness, her System suddenly said its last goodbye to her.
[Goodbye, Host… Unless you have extremely good luck, it should be impossible for you to survive in this kind of situation.]
Tang Li Xue opened her topaz blue eyes again as she really wanted to curse her System so badly for one last time.
However, her topaz blue eyes were suddenly shining in excitement!
“Hahaha, I get it~! Thank you very much, System~! You are really my favorite System~!” Tang Li Xue praised as she took something out of her System’s space.
[Humph~!]
Yes, Tang Li Xue actually took out her last [Greater Lucky Sticker] from her System’s space!
This [Greater Lucky Sticker] was her last hope to survive this extremely dire situation according to the hint given by her System!
Tang Li Xue hastily stuck the [Greater Lucky Sticker] onto her body without any hesitation before it was too late!
