Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Unfounded Suspicion!

"How do you know?" Taoist Uncle asked sceptically.

Tang Li Xue smiled beautifully and replied with one word: "Intuition."

Tang Li Xue did not lie.

Her spiritual sense might not be able to work in this Hall of Cultivation, just like the human cultivator’s Divine Sense, but her [Extraordinary Perception] was still as sharp as ever.

Tang Li Xue faintly heard someone talking in the furthest back room on the left side just now.

Xu Yang did not doubt Tang Li Xue’s words and headed straight to the room pointed out by Tang Li Xue.

When their group stepped into that room, the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince had already activated their last line of defense formation inside the room.

But it would probably not last long because more than a dozen crimson slimes had already begun to corrode the last defense formation.

"Your Majesty Emperor, Her Highness Empress Zhou, and His Highness Crown Prince Qingfeng!" Xu Yang called as he swung his ancient sword rapidly to slay all the crimson slimes.

"Cough, cough... You are... Miracle Doctor Xu?!" The Emperor immediately recognized Xu Yang because Xu Yang was the one who personally took care of him every time his condition worsened.

Tang Li Xue followed Xu Yang and Taoist Uncle, then stepped into the room too.

She took a quick look at the Emperor Wei, Empress Zhou, and Crown Prince Qingfeng.

Even though Emperor Wei’s cultivation level was at the Nascent Soul Stage, but his life force was almost completely exhausted, like a flickering candle that could go out at any time.

Empress Zhou’s cultivation level was at the Core Formation Stage, but it was built from piling countless treasures and pills. Her combat power was almost non-existent.

Crown Prince Qingfeng was much better than the previous two. His cultivation was also at the Core Formation Stage, but he should be able to fight quite well.

Despite that, Crown Prince Qingfeng’s Core Formation Stage cultivation was far from enough to fight against the army of corrosive crimson slimes out there.

If Tang Li Xue really wanted it, she could easily kill these three people with one hand.

Tang Li Xue might not have any grudge against Emperor Wei, so she did not have any reason to kill or hurt him, but she clearly had a grudge with Empress Zhou and Crown Prince Qingfeng!

If there were no Xu Yang, Emperor Wei, and Taoist Uncle here, she should have already thought Empress Zhou and Crown Prince Qingfeng an unforgettable lesson about why you should never offend any beautiful women or villains.

Just when Emperor Wei wanted to turn off the protective formation and greet Xu Yang’s group...

"Wait a second, Royal Father." Crown Prince Qingfeng hastily stopped Emperor Wei.

"Other than us, everyone in the palace should have been caught by the crimson trees, so how could Doctor Xu and his people roam freely in the palace in this situation?" Crown Prince Qingfeng expressed his suspicion.

Crown Prince Qingfeng glared at Tang Li Xue and continued to say in a tone filled with suspicion: "Furthermore, there is also a vixen among them. At first, this vixen seduced my younger brother to step into the palace, and now, she is so close to Doctor Xu."

Emperor Wei still tried to speak up for Xu Yang: "But Doctor Xu is a trustworthy person. He has treated my illness so many times and even extended my life until now."

Empress Zhou shook her head and advised Emperor Wei: "Who knows if that was his scheme in order to get close to you, Your Majesty."

"The current situation is different. If he took the three of us as his hostages, then our Great Wei Dynasty might be in danger of falling into his hands." Empress Zhou explained to Emperor Wei solemnly.

"This..." Emperor Wei hesitated again and again under the persuasion of Crown Prince Qingfeng and Empress Zhou.

Xu Yang’s expression had turned dark when he heard their conversation.

He came here sincerely to save Emperor Wei, and after going through many dangers, Emperor Wei, Empress Zhou, and Crown Prince Qingfeng did not even trust him.

Taoist Uncle was also very angry at Crown Prince Qingfeng and Empress Zhou’s ungrateful words.

Among them, only Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes brightened like a pair of stars in excitement after she heard Crown Prince Qingfeng and Empress Zhou’s words.

’Woah, why didn’t I think that far before? As I have expected from these two scheming bast*rds! What a brilliant idea!’ Tang Li Xue thought in amazement.

Tang Li Xue started to think about whether it was really feasible that she took those three people as hostages and forced Xu Yang to become the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty later!

However, the army of corrosive crimson slimes had already completely broken past the protective formations outside and stormed into this Hall of Closed Cultivation!

"Uh, Young Master, it seems our time is up!" Taoist Uncle reminded Xu Yang as he slashed his wood peach sword to repel several approaching crimson slimes.

Tang Li Xue also helped by unleashing her [Crescent Moon Cleave] and managed to clean up a large number of crimson slimes at once.

Their effort to destroy the crimson slimes actually did not mean much because the destroyed crimson slimes were recovering very rapidly, and they even merged to become something even more powerful than before.

In fact, the easiest way to deal with these unkillable crimson slimes was just to let Little Loki devour all of them with its [Heaven’s Devour].

But Tang Li Xue no longer planned to let Little Loki use its [Heaven’s Devour] carelessly anymore, especially in front of other people, after she watched the final miserable ending previously shown by [Death Vision Card].

Unless everyone in this Imperial palace had already been killed except for her and Little Loki, then at that time, Tang Li Xue might let Little Loki use its [Heaven’s Devour] to swallow all the crimson slimes.

When Tang Li Xue and Taoist Uncle were facing the endless army of crimson slimes, Xu Yang once again tried to convince Emperor Wei.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to believe me just this once! We cannot stay here anymore! You should have already seen it. Those monsters can corrode anything. Your protective formation will not be able to last long against them! So, please..." Xu Yang said humbly to Emperor Wei.

Crown Prince Qingfeng replied to Xu Yang coldly: "Doctor Xu, if you are truly loyal to Your Majesty and the Great Wei Dynasty, then you should stay here and protect us from those monsters."

Empress Zhou nodded in agreement to his son and added: "There is no safer place than here in the entire palace. Rather than taking us to somewhere else, the best option should be to let Doctor Xu and his people protect us from those monsters here."

Emperor Wei still faltered for a while, but he finally decided and said to Xu Yang in a firm and cold tone: "Doctor Xu, this Emperor orders you to prove your loyalty to the Great Wei Dynasty by protecting me and my family at this place!"

"Your Majesty!" Xu Yang yelled in great disappointment.

"Don’t worry, Doctor Xu. I will definitely give plenty of rewards to you and your people after all of this is over. Even if any of you fall, I will still grant you all the highest rank ’Duke’ title as the greatest honor for your sacrifice!" Emperor Wei kindly promised Xu Yang.

Tang Li Xue chuckled in amusement when she heard Emperor Wei’s words.

What was the point of giving them the highest title after they die?!

They would not even be able to enjoy the honor in the afterlife anyway!

Tang Li Xue had already watched several historical dramas in her previous life, but the real one was apparently much more infuriating than those dramas.

Even though Tang Li Xue felt very irritated, but she did not bother to say anything at this moment.

She wanted to see what Xu Yang would do.

If he decided to unconditionally follow Emperor Wei’s order, then Tang Li Xue would really look down on him.

Anyway, her perfect copy was already hiding herself safely out there.

If he decided to unconditionally follow Emperor Wei’s order, then Tang Li Xue would really look down on him.

Anyway, her perfect copy was already hiding herself safely out there.

If the situation turned for the worse, then she could just escape from here easily by activating her [Swap] skill and exchanging her location with her perfect copy.

Xu Yang closed his eyes for a few moments to calm himself down.

When he opened his eyes again, Xu Yang had returned to his usual self, which was cold, intelligent, and rational

"Let’s go! Let’s get out of here quickly before the situation gets worse!" Xu Yang said to Tang Li Xue and Taoist Uncle.

Both Tang Li Xue and Taoist Uncle smiled and nodded at Xu Yang in satisfaction with his decision.

The expressions of Emperor Wei, Empress Zhou, and Crown Prince Qingfeng immediately turned ugly after they heard Xu Yang’s words.

"Doctor Xu, how dare you defy my decree?!" Emperor Wei shouted angrily.

"I knew he was a traitor! He must have come here with bad intentions from the start!" Crown Prince Qingfeng mercilessly accused Xu Yang.

Empress Zhou still tried to threaten Xu Yang by saying: "Doctor Xu, you have to think about it carefully! If you dare to defy Your Majesty’s order, then you and your people will definitely be executed later! All of your families and acquaintances, everyone you know, will suffer because of your actions!"
