Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: Conflict!

Tang Li Xue shook her head to reject Old Ye’s idea as she said: "Why do you care so much about the form of my treasure? It should not be too difficult for you to make it according to my design, right?"

"Of course, that would be troublesome for me. It would ruin my reputation if I made such a trashy treasure!" Old Ye immediately replied without thinking.

Tang Li Xue gnashed her pearl-white teeth resentfully after she heard the ’trash’ word come out from Old Ye’s mouth again: ’Annoying old geezer! You do not even bother to hide your thoughts anymore, huh!’

Tang Li Xue did not want to argue with the annoying Old Ye anymore, so she uttered: "You just need to answer, can you make it or not? When will it be finished? Oh, then how much do I have to pay?"

Old Ye stared unwillingly at Tang Li Xue for a while before he sighed and raised five of his fingers.

Tang Li Xue saw Old Ye’s five fingers and thought for a while before she stated with bright topaz blue eyes: "So, you mean I only have to pay 50,000 credits?"

Old Ye’s stare turned disdainful. He shook his head, ignored Tang Li Xue, and continued to hammer the heated metal beside the forging furnace.

Tang Li Xue sighed as she muttered softly: "Okay, you do not need to be so upset. But 500,000 credits are clearly too expensive, okay?!"

Old Ye stopped hammering and glared at Tang Li Xue as he spoke up in a harsh tone: "It is not 500,000, but 5 million credits!"

"Fi... Five million credits?! Are you out of your mind, old geezer?!" Tang Li Xue jumped up in shock and pointed her finger at Old Ye, then scolded him with a reddened face in anger.

Old Ye rolled his eyes and coldly replied: "Do you know how expensive the materials used to make that treasure?"

Tang Li Xue fell silent and thought deeply for a while.

"Then, how much should I pay if I provide all the materials?" Tang Li Xue asked in a solemn tone.

Old Ye raised one of his fingers while muttering calmly: "One million credits."

Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth as she resisted her urge to pull Old Ye’s long beard in anger.

"Do not push your luck, old geezer! Do you really think I have that much credits?! No more than one hundred thousand credits." Tang Li Xue tried to bargain.

"Tsk, this is why I have to deal with a pauper. 800,000 credits. Take it or leave it!" Old Ye clicked his tongue and nonchalantly stated to Tang Li Xue.

Xi’er could not hold it anymore. She took a step forward and angrily yelled: "You are going too far, old man! You think you are the only treasure refiner here?!"

Even Lucia, Little Loki, and Yaya glared menacingly at Old Ye as if they tried to intimidate him.

Unfortunately, their cute looks did not look intimidating at all.

"Then you can go and look at the other treasure refiner. I want to see if you really can find another treasure refiner better than me." Old Ye replied with a tone filled with self-confidence.

"You..." Xi’er wanted to argue with Old Ye again, but Tang Li Xue raised her fair hand to stop Xi’er.

Then Tang Li Xue slowly reached the fox mask that covered her face and took it off.

A stunning beautiful face that could cause the downfall of any kingdom was instantly revealed.

At that moment, when a charming smile bloomed on Tang Li Xue’s breathtakingly beautiful face, all things in the world seemed to lose their color.

Even Old Ye, who had seen so many charming fox girls in his entire life, was stunned silly for a while.

"Old Ye, can you please give me a discount? Pretty please~!" Tang Li Xue uttered in a sweet and coquettish voice that could melt anyone’s soul and steal anyone’s heart.

Tang Li Xue also secretly used [Mystic Whisper] to influence Old Ye.

After Old Ye recovered from his daze, he slowly replied to Tang Li Xue in a firm tone: "800,000 credits, not a single penny less."

Tang Li Xue stomped her feet in anger and disappointment.

She already used so many tricks, but this stingy Old Ye still remained unmoved.

She really wanted to take Old Ye’s pants off to check if he was truly a man or not.

How the heck could he still remain unmoved by her unmatched beauty + her sweet and coquettish voice + [Mystic Whisper]?!

He was definitely a eunuch, right?!

In the end, Tang Li Xue could only yield and unwillingly pay 800,000 credits to Old Ye.

She also ordered her perfect copy, who still stayed inside [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], to gather all the materials needed to make the treasure from among the Grandmaster Nie Jun’s legacy.

There were so many resources and materials stored by Grandmaster Nie Jun inside the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].

The materials used to make the anti-materiel rifle-shaped treasure were not that rare, so they should be able to find all the materials among Grandmaster Nie Jun’s legacy.

After half an hour or so, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy finally gathered all of the materials and sent them out from the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].

Tang Li Xue gave all the materials to Old Ye while asking: "When can I pick it up?"

"Your trashy... I mean, your weird-shaped treasure is not hard to make, but my schedule is already packed today, so I can only work on it tomorrow. You can just come and pick it up early tomorrow." Old Ye answered Tang Li Xue in an indifferent tone.

Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched slightly in annoyance when she heard ’trashy’ word from Old Ye again.

She quickly put on her fox mask again and went out of Old Ye’s workshop.

Tang Li Xue felt she might really lose her temper soon if she kept talking with the infuriating Old Ye.

Xi’er and Lucia hastily followed Tang Li Xue from behind while Yaya and Little Loki were still sitting leisurely on Tang Li Xue’s shoulder.

At first, Tang Li Xue planned to treat Xi’er, Lucia, Yaya, and Little Loki to eat something delicious after they finished their matters today.

Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue only had a few tens of thousands of credits left in her jade badge in the end after she paid 800,000 credits to Old Ye.

"Sigh, I thought one million credits was already a lot, but who knows that one million credits could not even last for one day." Tang Li Xue sighed in depression.

"I am so sorry, everyone. It seems I can only treat you to eating some street food today." Tang Li Xue said to everyone in a regretful tone.

Xi’er chuckled and replied in a leisurely tone: "It is all right, Sister Xue. We also want to try the taste of this city’s street foods."

Little Loki, Lucia, and Yaya nodded their heads at the same time in agreement.

Tang Li Xue giggled contentedly as she spoke: "Okay, I hope the street food of this Fox Clan’s city does not disappoint us. Let’s go~!"

But only after Tang Li Xue and her group walked some distance away from Old Ye’s Workshop...

They saw a rather unpleasant scene on the crowded roadside.

A handsome male fox in luxurious clothes held the hand of a little fox girl wearing coarse clothes, then scolded in an annoyed tone: "You lowly scum! How dare you try to steal my space pouch?!"

"Let me go! You are wrong! I never try to steal anything from you!" The little fox girl in coarse clothes tried to deny it in a pitiful sobbing voice.

However, no matter how hard the little fox girl tried to pull her hand away from the handsome male fox, the male fox still did not have any intention to let her go at all.

"You still dare to deny it after being caught red-handed! Okay, then I will break your hand as your punishment!" The handsome male fox coldly stated to the little fox girl.

But, before the handsome male fox could exert his strength to break the little fox girl’s hand...

"Release her!" Tang Li Xue uttered as she activated her [Mystic Whisper] divine ability.

The handsome male fox was caught off guard and immediately fell under Tang Li Xue’s [Mystic Whisper].

He loosened his grip on the little fox girl’s hand.

Tang Li Xue took this chance to swiftly get close and pull the little fox girl away from the handsome male fox.

However, the handsome male fox’s friend, who stood right beside him, thought Tang Li Xue wanted to launch a sudden sneak attack at the handsome male fox, so he made their move to attack Tang Li Xue.

BAAANG~!

The handsome male fox’s friend was fast, but Xi’er was even faster than him!

Xi’er managed to easily block the attack and even counterattacked with a swift kick!

The handsome male fox’s friend dodged, then began to fight back and forth fiercely with Xi’er!

Tang Li Xue was not worried about Xi’er at all, since Xi’er had already grown much stronger compared to before, thanks to Lightning Guardian’s tutelage.

Tang Li Xue squatted and asked the little fox girl: "Are you all right?"

The little fox girl looked dirty and disheveled.

Anyone could easily see that the little fox girl was not well-off.

The little fox girl nodded her head with a blank expression.

Tang Li Xue thought the little fox girl was scared, so she showed a gentle smile and muttered in a reassuring tone: "Do not be afraid. I will not let that scum hurt you."

Tang Li Xue stood up and glared coldly at the handsome male fox.

Meanwhile, the little fox girl’s eyes brightened up when she saw the space pouch and jade badge hanging on Tang Li Xue’s waist.
