Tang Li Xue pondered carefully for a while on how she could complete the mission if she was the one who received Hei Yinghao's mission.

'Hmm... My [Extrasensory Perception] is the upgrade version of [Spirit Perception], so my detection skill should be sharper and better than Silly Fox. I also have Yaya and my perfect copy, so catching that slippery thief should be easier for me to do too.' Tang Li Xue concluded that she could definitely complete Hei Yinghao's mission more easily than Hei Yinghao himself.

Even Bing Yi's mission, which they all thought to be the most boring mission among them, was actually much harder than it should be.

She must pick the precious herbs from the [Rare] grade demonic beast's lair!

Moreover, there were not only one, but two [Rare] grade demonic beasts living in that lair!

They were a pair of [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars], and both of them were equally swift and powerful.

Of course, Bing Yi would not dare to forcefully break into the lair and take the precious herb from the two[ Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars] just like that.

Even Tang Li Xue and Hei Yinghao would not dare to do that.

So Bing Yi decided to carefully watch the habit of two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars] in a few days.

After observed their schedule for a few days, Bing Yi realized that the two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars] would take turns to hunt for their foods every day, so both of them would never leave their lair empty.

Bing Yi decided to make her move when one of the two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars] went out of their lair to hunt!

Bing Yi could not fight a long battle with the [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguar] since the other [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguar] could come back anytime, so she used her concentrated [Freezing Field] to freeze the [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguar] for a few moments and used that time to take the precious herbs inside their lair.

After the [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguar] broke free from Bing Yi's freeze, Bing Yi immediately escaped from the lair as fast as she could.

The [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguar] chased after Bing Yi so fiercely while howled loudly to call for its companion.

It did not take long for the other [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguar] to arrive and chasing after Bing Yi too.

Bing Yi was not an agile type like Hei Yinghao or the versatile type like Tang Li Xue, so she could not shake off the two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars]'s chasing. While the two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguar] have the speed at least twice faster than her.

Fortunately, Bing Yi could use her freezing power to hinder the two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars] from catching up to her.

Bing Yi got chased by the two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars] for a few days.

Every time the two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars] got close to her, she would freeze them into ice statues for a few seconds, so they could not attack her.

When Bing Yi almost got completely exhausted, she managed to reach her teleportation point. She used her golden ticket and entered the s.p.a.ce gate before the two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars] could free themselves from her freezing effect.

For the first time, Bing Yi really thanked Instructor Mei Lan for the h.e.l.lish training that improved her stamina a lot, reduced her cast time, and made her able to move around unhindered while kept casting her divine ability without any interruption.

Tang Li Xue pondered carefully again on what she would do if she was in the same situation as Bing Yi.

'It should be a piece of cake for me, right? I have my [Ethereal Form], so I can easily waltz into the lair by using it, take the precious herbs under those two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars]'s noses, and used my [Ethereal Form] to escape. ' Tang Li Xue nodded her head.

She was really satisfied with her current all-rounder skills and divine abilities.

'Even if I cannot use my [Ethereal Form], I can still face the two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars] head-on if I want to. If I count myself, my perfect copy, my martial soul, and Yaya, it will become four against one. I doubt those two [Saber-Tooth Shadow Jaguars] are tough enough to face four of us at once!' Tang Li Xue thought full of confidence.

After eating the delicious foods to their heart content, Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao decided to go back to their own respective room and sleep for today.

Tang Li Xue also went back to her room with Yaya, but she immediately summoned out Little Loki from her system pet storage to check on its condition.

In these few days, Little Loki's high fever had already gone down, but it still in a deep sleep as usual to digest the abundant energy of divine fragment.

Just when Tang Li Xue started to get really worried if Little Loki would never regain its consciousness…

"Nyaaa~~!!!" Little Loki yawned cutely while slowly opened its third eye.

It used its tiny paw to rub its closed pair of eyes before lazily stretched its stiff small body.

"Little Loki!" Tang Li Xue happily called Little Loki. She immediately picked up the tiny Little Loki and gently embraced it.

The jealous Yaya could only puff her cheek in displeasure and stared at Little Loki in irritation.

Tang Li Xue laughed at the childish Yaya and hugged her too with the other hand.

"Yaya, you cannot act like that. Little Loki is your little brother. As his big sister, how could you always feel jealous of your little brother?" Tang Li Xue gently told Yaya.

Yaya nodded while smiling in contentment at Tang Li Xue's embrace.

Yaya looked at Little Loki and started to babble: "Ya… Yayaya~!"

"Nyan nyaa~!" Little Loki leisurely replied.

From their mental connection, Tang Li Xue could understand that Yaya apologized to Little Loki and Little Loki magnanimously told Yaya that it did not mind.

Somehow Tang Li Xue could feel that Little Loki's mentality was a lot more mature than both Yaya and Phoenix of Pride, although it hatched from its egg just recently.

Yaya immediately fell asleep under Tang Li Xue's warm embrace. Despite always looking energetic, she was actually quite exhausted today. Because she just finished taking the lesson and training of Instructor Mei Lan's mother.

Tang Li Xue put the sleeping Yaya on the soft bed and covered her with a warm blanket.

Little Loki just woke up from a few days of sleeping, so it did not feel sleepy anymore. Little Loki even told Tang Li Xue that it has already grown much more powerful than before after absorbed the energy of the divine treasure's fragment.

Tang Li Xue's eyes brightened and she curiously asked Little Loki: "Really? How strong you are right now?"

Little Loki thought for a while.

It did not want Tang Li Xue to depend on it too much.

Little Loki knew that it would definitely meet with many strong enemies in the future, so it wanted Tang Li Xue to become strong and dependable too. At least, strong enough to not become a burden.

Little Loki humbly pointed back at Tang Li Xue. It wanted to tell Tang Li Xue that it has already as strong as her.

Tang Li Xue laughed off at Little Loki and patted its tiny furry head gently: " All right, Little Loki is so amazing~! Little Loki can eat this as a reward then."

Tang Li Xue obviously did not believe Little Loki's words at all.

Tang Li Xue even gave tens of [Uncommon] grade demonic beast cores to Little Loki as its snacks. Different from the [Rare] grade demonic beast cores, the [Uncommon] grade demonic beast cores like these were not expensive at all since the number was too much in the market.

Little Loki rolled its third eye at Tang Li Xue, but it still happily ate all of the [Uncommon] grade demonic beast cores Tang Li Xue gave to it.

Actually, Little Loki's current prowess was really hard to be estimated even by itself.

Little Loki's power lies in its ability to devour everything, but its current cub body could not hold much more energy.

Even after it received the baptism of Metal Body Refinement Talisman, which strengthen its cub body by a lot, but the energy from divine treasure's fragment was too much for it to handle.

Currently, Little Loki was like a full water container.

Eating a little snack like these [Uncommon] grade demonic beast cores was still alright, but if it devoured something like a Foundation Establishment Expert or [Rare] grade demonic beast core, the power in its tiny body would become too much for it to handle again, and it would enter the same coma condition like before.

Normally, any Taotie's cub like Little Loki would enter a deep long sleep for hundreds to thousands of years until their tiny cub's body grew up more, and they were ready to devour another batch of energy to increase their cultivation further.

But Little Loki was unwilling to do that. It did not want to make Tang Li Xue worry, and it wanted to see Tang Li Xue grow step by step closely by her side just like Yaya and Phoenix of Pride.

Unknowing even by itself, Little Loki's bond and attachment to Tang Li Xue right now was in no way inferior to Yaya and Phoenix of Pride at all.

The oblivious Tang Li Xue did not know any of these things. She put down Little Loki gently on her lap and stroked its smooth soft fur a few times while used her other hand to open her status window in her system.

Tang Li Xue's Spirit stat was currently at 954. She put 46 free stat points into her Spirit stat to increase it to 1,000.

As usual, a great headache started to a.s.sault her mind for a few moments, but after that, she felt something strange happening to her soul…

It was a weird sensation, but very comfortable…

As if her consciousness and soul were connected to something pure and got purified by that thing…

"RRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRR~~!!!"
