Chapter 1038: Little Loki’s Task!
Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: Little Loki’s Task!
.....
After the sky turned dark, Tang Li Xue could finally bid farewell to the passionate Third Prince and go back to her room.
The Third Prince persuaded Tang Li Xue to have dinner together, but Tang Li Xue politely refused his offer.
Tang Li Xue was too mentally exhausted to accompany the Third Prince any longer.
It was just too exhausting for an introvert and antisocial fox like her to accompany someone like the Third Prince, who was so sociable, extroverted, and talkative.
Even though Xu Yang had interrogated her so coldly today, but Tang Li Xue had to admit that she was much more compatible with someone like Xu Yang, who was so cold, reserved, and distant, rather than someone like the Third Prince.
Right now, she just wanted to return to her room and get a good sleep.
When Tang Li Xue returned to her room, she realized that Xi’er had already contacted her Communication Talisman several times, but Tang Li Xue could not accept Xi’er’s call because she was still with the Third Prince before.
Tang Li Xue frowned in worry since she thought that Xi’er, Yaya, and Lucia might be in trouble outside, so she decided to use her Communication Talisman to call them instead.
Fortunately, Xi’er immediately picked up Tang Li Xue’s call.
"Hello, Sister Xue~! Are you okay there? I have contacted you several times today, but you have not picked up my call at all. So, I thought you may be in trouble over there." Xi’er asked worriedly.
Tang Li Xue chuckled in relief before she replied: "I am all right. It is just that I have to accompany someone important before, so I cannot answer your call."
"Oh, I get it. You should be accompanying that Xu Yang today, right? Have you managed to persuade him to participate in the competition for the throne?" Xi’er asked in a curious tone.
Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched slightly.
It would be too embarrassing for her to tell Xi’er what had happened today with Doctor Xu.
She thought for a while before she replied to Xi’er: "Err, I have met with Doctor Xu and had a chat with him today, but it might take a longer time to persuade him to compete for the throne."
"It is already very amazing that you were able to meet with Xu Yang on the second day after we arrived in this Capital City, Sister Xue. I heard someone from Ji Xuanming’s group had tried to sneak into Xu Yang’s place yesterday but failed and even almost got caught by him." Xi’er praised Tang Li Xue in a tone filled with admiration.
Tang Li Xue swept her bang aside proudly with her slender fingers while saying: "Of course, it is not even a problem for me. Doctor Xu welcomed me with great joy. He even invited me into his room as soon as we met today."
It was definitely not a lie.
Doctor Xu truly invited her into his room as soon as they met, right?
Xi’er happily complimented Tang Li Xue again: "Wow, Sister Xue! I am sure that Doctor Xu Yang should have already been very infatuated with your irresistible charm!"
Tang Li Xue nodded her head happily and continued to tell her story: "He was really happy after he received my gifts. We had a nice chat in his room. He even touched my chin and stared into my eyes... Cough, it was so embarrassing, hehe~! If I do not run away from him quickly in the end, he might want to keep me with him today."
This was a bit too far-fetched, but Tang Li Xue still thought there was nothing wrong with her words, and she was still basically not lying.
"What?! That Doctor Xu Yang is too daring and shameless, right?! Sister Xue, you should be careful with him." Xi’er warned Tang Li Xue in worry.
Then Xi’er remembered the task given by Shao Ying, so she decided to inform Tang Li Xue about it: "Oh, right... Sister Xue, Miss Shao Ying gave me a jade box today. She told me to deliver this jade box to you. She also told you to secretly spread the contents of this jade box around the palace in three days."
"A jade box? Okay, I get it. I will let Little Loki pick up the jade box tonight." Tang Li Xue replied to Xi’er.
After that, Xi’er told all the information she had obtained outside to Tang Li Xue.
Some of the information was actually quite crucial for Tang Li Xue.
First news, the relationship between the First Prince and the Third Prince had actually become strained because of her.
It was mainly because the Third Prince broke up his engagement with Lu Yixin because of her, which enraged the First Prince, their mother, Empress Zhou Yansui, and the Lu Aristocratic Family.
Second news, the First Prince hid in his mother’s place, Empress Zhou Yansui’s courtyard, after the Second Prince’s death, because he was afraid that he would be targeted next by those lunatics from the Blood God Sect.
Third news, all of the Spirit Transformation Stage Grandmasters in the Capital City were focusing on guarding the palace, so the situation outside the palace was actually very tense, with many factions joining the fray, which made the current situation in the Capital City very chaotic.
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply in worry after she heard the third news.
She thought there were only the Yama Palace and the Blood God Cult in this Capital City, but it seemed the other anti-government factions also did not want to miss this chance and planned to make their moves sooner or later.
Tang Li Xue had a really bad hunch about this.
She really did not want to be dragged into this dangerous whirlpool, so she decided to speed up her plan.
After all, her mission was only to persuade Xu Yang to join the competition for the throne.
As for the other matters, it was no longer her problem. She could just leave it to Shao Ying and Ji Xuanming’s group.
Tang Li Xue believed that it should not be a problem for Xu Yang to be the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty as long as he was really willing.
Xu Yang himself was very smart and charismatic, a natural-born leader, not to mention he also had the full support of the Yama Palace, plus the Fox Clan.
In short, Tang Li Xue planned to complete her mission to persuade Xu Yang as soon as possible, then bring her team back to Fox Clan City before this Capital City of Great Wei became even more chaotic and dangerous.
Tang Li Xue ended her call with Xi’er and sighed helplessly.
"Let’s just do it step by step. First, let’s see what Miss Shao Ying is up to." Tang Li Xue murmured as she released Little Loki from inside [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].
"Hehe, do you miss me, Little Loki?" Tang Li Xue asked as she embraced Little Loki and carressed its soft fur gently.
"Meow~!" Little Loki also happily snuggled in Tang Li Xue’s embrace.
After playing around happily for a while, Tang Li Xue released Little Loki from her embrace and told it what it had to do: "Little Loki, I need your help. Xi’er wants to deliver a jade box to me, but I cannot go out of this palace for now, so can you please bring that jade box to me?"
"Nyaaa~!" Little Loki smugly patted its paw onto its chest as if it was saying to leave that task to it.
Then Little Loki turned itself invisible before it teleported out of the room with its [Instant Teleportation].
The range of its [Instant Teleportation] had increased a lot after Little Loki trained hard in the pagoda for a year or so.
Tang Li Xue did not even know yet that Little Loki had learned the Profound Law of Space during its training!
Of course, Little Loki was still far from completely mastering the Profound Law of Space because the Profound Law of Space was much more difficult to master compared to other Profound Laws, such as the Profound Laws of the five elements, Profound Laws of Strength, and so on.
But at the very least, Little Loki’s [Instant Teleportation] had improved a lot because of it.
The space fluctuation caused by [Instant Teleportation] also became even more covert that even Spirit Transformation Realm Grandmasters would not be able to sense it easily unless Little Loki used [Instant Teleportation] right in front of them.
Little Loki easily sneaked out of the palace after using its [Instant Teleportation] several times in succession.
Little Loki cutely scratched its head because it suddenly remembered that Tang Li Xue did not even tell it where it could meet with Xi’er and the others.
Little Loki was too embarrassed to go back, so it decided to just check the nearby inns first.
Little Loki was very confident that it could find Xi’er and the others really quickly with its extremely sharp sense of smell and hearing.
But Little Loki’s black fur stood up as it sensed someone had suddenly appeared right behind it.
The person who suddenly appeared right behind Little Loki was actually someone familiar.
"Oh, you are... Miss Tang’s cat?" Feng Shuang murmured while looking curiously at Little Loki.
Little Loki used its [Instant Teleportation], and it instantly appeared right above Feng Shuang.
BANG~!
Little Loki slapped Feng Shuang’s head hard.
"Ouch, what are you doing?! We are allies, okay?!" Feng Shuang complained unhappily.
"Meeeooow Nyaaow—! (I am not a cat—!)" Little Loki replied displeasantly.
