Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001: The Only Way Back!

Tang Li Xue was really sure that it should be impossible for the Bookkeeper to come from the Lightwind Continent to this Azure Mist Continent just to pick her up.

So, how come Bookkeeper appeared in two different places?!

Tang Li Xue shook her head and decided not to think too much about whether the Bookkeeper in this Azure Mist Continent was the real or fake one.

The inn’s waiter led Tang Li Xue and her team to their own respective room on the second floor of the inn, while the black-haired fox girl went out of the inn.

Tang Li Xue was not fooled by the black-haired fox girl’s previous flattery talk at all.

Tang Li Xue could guess that the black-haired fox girl no longer dared to treat her too harshly like before because she mentioned that she was the Bookkeeper’s acquaintance.

However, it did not mean that the black-haired fox girl fully trusted her words.

The proof was that the black-haired fox girl did not even immediately bring Tang Li Xue and her team back to their Fox Clan’s headquarters in Azure Mist Continent and left them in this inn instead.

The black-haired fox girl should be going to ask for further instructions from her higher-ups, or even from Azure Mist Continent’s Bookkeeper first, and let them decide what they have to do to Tang Li Xue next.

Tang Li Xue, Xi’er, and the others could faintly sense that the fox agents in black cloaks were still keeping a close eye on them secretly.

Tang Li Xue and her team gathered in Tang Li Xue’s room to discuss their next moves carefully.

“What a cunning vixen~! She talked so nicely to us when she released us from the dungeon prison cells, but she actually ordered her people to monitor our every movement in secret until now.” Tang Li Xue chuckled coldly.

“So, what should we do now, Sister Xue? Should we just let them do whatever they want?” Xi’er asked in an unpleasant tone.

Xi’er really did not like how the Fox Clan’s agent treated them.

If not for Tang Li Xue’s sake, Xi’er would have already lost her patience and beaten all of them up.

Lucia, who sat at the corner of the room, also nodded her head in agreement.

Tang Li Xue shrugged her shoulders while caressing Little Loki and Yaya on her lap and saying in a helpless tone: “We do not have any choice other than waiting patiently for now. That fox lady should be going to inform her higher-ups about us. I hope they can let us go to their base, or even meet with Miss Bookkeeper directly later.”

“Then what if they don’t let us go to their base or meet anyone later?” Xi’er asked in a pessimistic tone.

Xi’er did not mean to make Tang Li Xue upset, but she thought it would not be bad for them to make a backup plan and prepare for the worst.

Tang Li Xue narrowed her topaz blue eyes as she muttered in a chilling tone: “Well, that better not happen, or I will make them regret it.”

In fact, Tang Li Xue had already prepared several backup plans before they reached this Frost Pine Town.

In the worst case, she even planned to catch the Fox Clan’s agent as her hostage and tried to negotiate with the Fox Clan in this Azure Mist Continent with force.

There was no other way since Tang Li Xue had no other option.

Her only hope to find a way to return to Lightwind Continent, or for her to contact her friends in Lightwind Continent, was through the Fox Clan of this Azure Mist Continent.

…..

A few days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Tang Li Xue and her team kept staying in the inn while impatiently waiting for the news from the black-haired fox girl.

Although Tang Li Xue and her team could not see it, but they could sense that the fox agents in black cloaks were still watching their every movement in secret day and night without missing even a single moment.

After waiting tensely for a few days, the black-haired fox girl finally returned to the inn early in the morning today!

One of the fox agents in black cloaks knocked on the door of Tang Li Xue’s room to inform her about it.

Tang Li Xue hastily woke Xi’er and the others up, then headed to the inn’s lobby together to meet the black-haired fox girl.

The black-haired fox girl smiled politely as soon as she saw Tang Li Xue and her team, then greeted them by saying: “Good morning, everyone. Did you all have a nice sleep last night?” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelfire(.)net

Tang Li Xue sneered while replying: “Do you really think we all can have a nice sleep with so many people keeping an eye on us all the time?”

The black-haired fox girl blushed in embarrassment, but she quickly coughed and recovered to normal as if she had not heard Tang Li Xue’s words.

“I have already reported to Miss Bookkeeper about you, and she told me to bring you to meet her today. How about it? Do you all want to have breakfast first before we go to meet Miss Bookkeeper?”

“No need! Let’s go to meet Miss Bookkeeper now!” Tang Li Xue immediately replied in a cold tone.

“Err, but…” The black-haired fox girl muttered in hesitation.

Then Tang Li Xue realized that Xi’er, Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia were staring at her in disbelief as if they were saying: ’Ehh~?! We are not going to eat breakfast first?!’

Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched slightly, and she secretly scolded her gourmand teammates in her heart: ’These gluttonous guys are really…! Urgh, this is so embarrassing!’

In the end, Tang Li Xue could only helplessly accept the black-haired fox girl’s offer to satisfy her greedy teammates.

After Tang Li Xue and her group had eaten the delicious breakfast in the inn, the black-haired fox girl led them out of the inn, and they rode the carriage together.

The carriage headed south until it went out of Frost Pine Town.

On their way, Tang Li Xue and her team never let their guard down even for a moment because they were afraid that the black-haired fox girl would bring them into her trap instead.

Their carriage finally stopped when they reached the middle of the snow-covered pine forest.

The black-haired fox girl, Tang Li Xue, and the others got off the carriage, then the carriage ran back in the direction of Frost Pine Town.

Tang Li Xue and her team followed the black-haired fox girl closely from behind until they arrived at the snowy mountain wall.

Then the black-haired fox girl took out a white jade badge from her space pouch and pointed it toward the snowy mountain wall.

In that instant, the space in front of the black-haired fox girl suddenly trembled and split into two!

Xi’er widened her eyes in surprise, but Tang Li Xue, Little Loki, Lucia, and Yaya were no longer surprised since they had already seen Instructor Mei Lan do the same thing several times.

Just like Instructor Mei Lan did before, the space gate in front of the black-haired fox girl should be leading to the Fox Clan’s base on this Azure Mist Continent.

“Let’s go in quickly before the space gate is closed!” The black-haired fox girl warned Tang Li Xue and her group as she took the lead and hastily stepped into the space gate.

Tang Li Xue and the others also followed the black-haired fox girl and entered the space gate.

After a few moments, the space gate rippled and faded away.

The snowy mountain wall was restored to normal as if nothing had happened at all.

The black-haired fox girl, Tang Li Xue, and her team instantly appeared in the middle of the giant stone ring inside the bright room.

There were more than a dozen giant stone rings in this bright room, but it was not as many as the space gate room at Lightwind Continent.

“What a nostalgic place…” Tang Li Xue muttered in a daze.

“Does the Space Portal Hall at Lightwind Continent also look like this?” The black-haired fox girl asked Tang Li Xue curiously.

Tang Li Xue nodded her head and said: “Yes, but the Lightwind Continent’s Space Portal Hall is much bigger than this, and the number of space gate rings is also several times more than here.”

The black-haired fox girl smiled sadly as she explained: “It cannot be helped since our Fox Clan has limited space to move around in this Azure Mist Continent, so the number of space gate rings is less than your place. No, it is not just our Fox Clan, but the entire Beast Race is suppressed by the Human Race here.”

“That is also the reason why we have to be much more careful in everything we do, so we will not fall into the trap of the Human Race.” The black-haired fox girl concluded her explanation.

Tang Li Xue immediately understood that the black-haired fox girl was actually trying to explain that her previous rude actions were to prevent the Human Race from tracking down the location of their base.

Tang Li Xue shook her head and muttered: “It is all right. We understand your difficulties.”

“Oh, right… My name is Shao Ying. You can just call me Sister Shao or Sister Ying. I am the Information Agent Chief responsible for selling and collecting information in the Great Wei Dynasty.” Shao Ying introduced herself to Tang Li Xue with a flattery smile on her beautiful face.

Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in surprise.

She was quite shocked that Shao Ying’s position was actually quite high.

Tang Li Xue secretly felt relieved that she had not made any rash moves to offend or even hurt Shao Ying before.

“My name Is Tang Li Xue. The undead girl you were talking about before is my weapon spirit, Xi’er. The black kitten is called Little Loki. The white bird’s name is Lucia, and lastly, the small cutie is called Yaya.” Tang Li Xue introduced herself and her team to Shao Ying.

“Meeeooow~! (I am not kitten~!)” Little Loki retorted displeasantly.

While Lucia and Yaya pouted and looked away from Shao Ying unhappily. It seemed they were still feeling offended by Shao Ying’s rude actions toward them before.

Even Xi’er also glared coldly at Shao Ying without bothering to say anything to her.

“Oh, I see… So, this girl with an undead power and aura is your weapon spirit. What a peculiar weapon spirit~!” Shao Ying said to Tang Li Xue as if she had not realized Xi’er and the others’ unhappy reactions.

While they were talking to each other, Shao Ying led Tang Li Xue and her team out of the Space Portal Hall.
