Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: Exploring The Jade Tower!

The captured Guard Captain still tried to fight back, but how could a mere Core Formation Stage cultivator have a chance against Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy?

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy easily subdued the captured Guard Captain with only one hand.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy did not have much experience in forcefully interrogating someone, so she brought the captured Guard Captain to the Flame Floor instead.

“Hey, fire cat~! I have a task for you to do!” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy yelled at the adorable flame ragdoll cat, who was lazily swimming back and forth in the lava.

“How many times have I told you! I am not a cat! I am the majestic fire spirit, Golden Flame Lynx!” The adorable flame ragdoll cat swiftly jumped out of the lava and scolded Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy with an unhappy tone.

“Okay, okay, all right, I know that already. By the way, fire cat…” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy explained what they needed to do to the Flame Guardian.

Flame Guardian rolled its eyes and complained in a lazy tone: “Tsk, you only come to me when you need my help. At least bring some delicious food or wine next time!”

“Hehehe, no problem~! I will bring you a lot of delicious food or wine from the outside for you to taste next time, okay?” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy giggled while patting the adorable ragdoll cat-like Flame Guardian.

“Humph~! I hope you really remember your words this time.” Flame Guardian said as it controlled the lava to form several tentacles.

The lava tentacles grabbed the captured Guard Captain’s limbs until they made loud sizzling sounds.

“ARRRGHHH—!” The captured Guard Captain yelled in pain.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy shuddered when she saw the adorable Flame Guardian use such cruel torture to interrogate the captured Guard Captain.

The contrast was so great that Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy could not help but pinch the adorable Flame Guardian’s cheeks a few more times.

Flame Guardian: “…..”

…..

…

.

Meanwhile, the real Tang Li Xue, who had already disguised herself as the captured Guard Captain, had already mingled with the Mine Guards that were the captured Guard Captain’s subordinates.

While patrolling around with them, Tang Li Xue asked them questions from time to time on the grounds that she was testing their knowledge and awareness.

Just like what she had expected since the very start, the Guard Captain and the Mine Guards did not know much.

It was like in the Imperial Palace, would the emperor inform the imperial guards about what he would do?

Nope, right?

‘Without any clue, it seems we can only explore this Jade Tower’s floor one by one until we find the room where Xi’er is detained.’ Tang Li Xue sighed in disappointment.

Since Tang Li Xue had already used [Thousand Myriad Faces] to disguise herself as the captured guard captain, her [Thousand Myriad Faces] had already entered a three-hour cooldown.

She also had to attend attendance checks through the communication device every fifteen minutes, so no one would realize that the captured guard captain was missing.

In short, she could not just disguise herself as the captured guard captain and suddenly disappear, so she could only leave the task of finding Xi’er to her perfect copy for now.

That was the reason why Tang Li Xue said to her perfect copy that it would be her perfect copy’s turn to move.

Anyway, it was not a bad move because Tang Li Xue herself could keep an eye out if the pervert Region Head had returned or not while patrolling with the other guards on the first and second floors.

Tang Li Xue released her perfect copy, who had already turned invisible with [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier], from the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].

‘Little Loki, Yaya, you should go to the upper floors with my perfect copy, but be sure to be really careful. Since the guards can only patrol around the first and second floors, it means there should be tighter defense mechanisms on the upper floors. Especially you, Little Loki—!’ Tang Li Xue warned them sternly with telepathy.

Little Loki: “?!”

Little Loki stared at Tang Li Xue in confusion and tilted its tiny head cutely to show its obliviousness.

Tang Li Xue rolled her eyes and warned Little Loki again: ‘Anyway, you should not run alone and wander around carelessly like you always do, okay?! Our main objective is to save Xi’er first, not to look for any treasures or your food!’

Little Loki wanted to argue that finding Xi’er while looking for treasures should not be contradictory, but it swallowed back its complaint when it saw Tang Li Xue glaring seriously at it.

Little Loki snorted unhappily while sending its thought back to Tang Li Xue: ‘Humph~! All right, you win. I will help you find and save Xi’er first, but after that, It’s up to me where I want to go or do whatever I want.’

‘We will see that after we save Xi’er. But I hope we can get out safely from this damn tower before the Region Head comes back.’ Tang Li Xue replied,

The invisible Yaya and Little Loki jumped onto the perfect copy’s shoulders, and then they immediately headed to the third floor together.

But before they could even step onto the third floor, there was a protective barrier that blocked their way on the stairs.

There was even a warning board written with: ‘Off-limits area. Only people who have permission can enter!’

“I will leave it to you, Little Loki.” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy uttered to Little Loki.

Little Loki immediately opened its tiny mouth and…

[Heaven’s Devour]—!

The surrounding space suddenly trembled, and the protective barrier was sucked into Little Loki’s tiny mouth!

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy hastily stepped onto the third floor with Little Loki and Yaya on her shoulders.

Not long after that, the protective barrier recovered and blocked the stairs again.

“Okay, let’s start from here then…” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy muttered as her topaz blue eyes shone with golden light.

[Fiery Bright Eyes]—!

[Fiery Bright Eyes] allowed her to see through all disguises, invisible things such as hidden traps or hidden formations, illusions, and obstacles.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy scanned her surroundings with [Fiery Bright Eyes], and she immediately found some hidden formations and traps.

Fortunately, the hidden formations and traps were not as many as the Great Wei Dynasty’s Imperial Treasury, which she had already infiltrated before.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy wandered around the third floor while checking the rooms one by one with her [Fiery Bright Eyes].

There were some important places on the third floor, but they were not that crucial, such as the meeting room, food storage room, kitchen, and so on.

After making sure that Xi’er was not on the third floor, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy quickly led Yaya and Little Loki to the next floor.

There was also a protective barrier blocking the stairs to the fourth floor, but they easily passed through it with Little Loki’s [Heaven Devour] as they did before.

The fourth floor was actually not empty, as Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy thought.

There were more than a dozen beautiful women that wearing skimpy dresses living on the fourth floor.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy immediately guessed that these beautiful women should be the pervert Region Head’s concubines or something like that.

‘That pervert Region Head surprisingly has good taste…’ Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy commented in her heart as she enviously watched the curvaceous figures of those beautiful women who were wearing thin clothes.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy glanced at her C-cup chest and sighed while thinking: ‘My real self… I am counting on you to work harder.’

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy repeated what she had done on the third floor and scanned each room with her [Fiery Bright Eyes] one by one.

‘That pervert Region Head really knows how to enjoy life!’ Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy thought enviously when she saw the hot spring bathroom, huge bedroom, elegant tea room, luxurious recreation room, and so on.

She also wanted to live here, okay?!

Err, no… Why does it sound so wrong? It sounded as if she wanted to be that pervert Region Head’s concubine!

‘Urgh~!’ Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy hastily shook that thought in disgust.

Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy still could not find Xi’er or [Sword of Disaster] on this floor, so she decided to go to the fifth floor.

The fifth floor was actually the Region Head’s private floor. It has a training ground, meditation room, cultivation room, martial repository, library, and so on.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy checked this fifth floor more carefully for a little bit longer since the chance that Xi’er was detained on this floor was higher.

But she still could still not find Xi’er or [Sword of Disaster] on this floor in the end.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy sighed in disappointment and brought Yaya and Little Loki to the sixth floor.

As soon as she stepped onto the sixth floor, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy saw many more hidden traps and formations with her [Fiery Bright Eyes] on this floor compared to the other floors.

‘This is troublesome, but maybe Xi’er and [Sword of Disaster] are on this floor, so it is guarded even more tightly than the other floors.’ Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy concluded in her mind.

When Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy tried to bypass the hidden traps and formations, she immediately realized that it was not possible because it seemed they needed some kind of key to deactivate all the hidden traps and formations if she wanted to pass them.

There was no doubt that the key to deactivate all the hidden traps and formations should be in the pervert Region Head’s hands.

The situation did not seem good for them. Let’s see if they could pass through the hidden traps and formations on the next chapter, so stay tuned and don’t miss it~! (>w<)
