Chapter 733 Chapter 733: Alone!

?After Instructor Mei Lan and her three students pa.s.sed through the gate, the fierce-looking man locked the gate again.

Instructor Mei Lan led Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox to sprint through the dark secret pa.s.sage, but they never lowered their guards at all.

On their way, they saw many carriages filled with goods parked on the side of the dark secret pa.s.sage.

It seemed this secret pa.s.sage was not only used by that 'Mama Vixen' to get in and out of the Garden City undiscovered by anyone, but she also used this secret pa.s.sage to smuggle many things illegally.

Unfortunately, her illegal activities had to be temporarily halted since the City Protection Formation covered the entire Garden City including the underground.

With their speed and without anyone hindering their way, Instructor Mei Lan's group managed to reach the place blocked by City Protection Formation in less than half an hour.

Instructor Mei Lan, Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox halted their step when they saw the transparent golden barrier in front of them.

Since the City Protection Formation was blocking them here, it meant the edge of the Garden City was already right above this underground secret tunnel.

"Little Xue, we can only rely on you for this one." Instructor Mei Lan glanced at Tang Li Xne and muttered to her.

Tang Li Xue nodded at Instructor Mei Lan with a serious expression as she released the sleeping Little Loki from her System's pet s.p.a.ce.

Tang Li Xue caressed Little Loki's soft furry body gently in her embrace to wake it up.

When Little Loki lazily woke up and yawned, Tang Li Xue whispered to it: "Little Loki, can you please help us make a hole in this formation in front of us?"

"Nyaaoowww~! Mew meow nyaw..." (It's easy~! Leave it to me...)

Little Loki jumped down from Tang Li Xue's warm embrace and approached the transparent golden barrier.

It glanced disdainfully at Instructor Mei Lan and put on a smug look when it walked past Instructor Mei Lan.

Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes, but she did not bother to lower her IQ to argue with a mere black cat.

Then Little Loki opened its mouth widely...

[Heaven's Devour]~!

BWOOOSSH~!

In that instant, the transparent golden barrier and even the surrounding s.p.a.ce were trembling violently!

The scenery in front of them was distorted as the transparent golden barrier along with the surrounding s.p.a.ce was moving toward Little Loki's mouth as if Little Loki devoured the City Protection Formation along with the s.p.a.ce around it!

After a few breaths, Little Loki stopped its [Heaven's Devour] and licked its lips as if it savored the taste of a part of the City Protection Formation it had just swallowed.

Instructor Mei Lan, Bingbing, and Silly Fox dropped their jaw in shock and stunned for a few seconds.

"Woah~! Little Xue, your black cat is so fierce~! It can even bite a hole in that powerful formation!" Bingbing was the first one who exclaimed in excitement and admiration.

"Urgh... I really envy that cat... It can always stay in Xue's embrace every day..." Silly Fox's brain was working differently when he was near Tang Li Xue, so no one bothered to care about his words.

"All right, let's go~! I am afraid some Nascent Soul Stage experts would notice the flaw in their City Protection Formation, so we must take this chance to get out of this Garden City as soon as possible." Instructor Mei Lan warned her three students in a solemn tone.

Instructor Mei Lan hastily led her three students to pa.s.s the City Protection Formation through the hole created by Little Loki using its [Heaven's Devour].

But Tang Li Xue, who was behind the others, suddenly halted her step right before she pa.s.sed through the hole in the City Protection Formation and secretly whispered a few words to Little Loki in her embrace.

Little Loki showed a dissatisfied expression and reluctantly did what Tang Li Xue told it to do.

Little Loki spat out the part of the City Protection Formation it just swallowed, and surprisingly, the City Protection Formation was restored to usual without any hole or flaw!

Instructor Mei Lan was the first one to notice Tang Li Xue's suspicious movement, but it was already one step too late.

Instructor Mei Lan turned around and stared at Tang Li Xue while questioning her in an angry tone: "Little Xue, what are you doing at the time like this?! Stop joking, this is not funny!"

Bingbing and Silly Fox worriedly wanted to go back too, but the City Protection Formation blocked their way.

However, Tang Li Xue shook her head and smiled at Instructor Mei Lan, Bingbing, and Silly Fox while saying: "I am sorry, Instructor Lan and everyone. I really have to save Zhu Yan, but I do not want to drag you all into danger just because of my selfishness, so I decide to do this."

"Little Xue~! How can you do this?! We are a team! So, it is only natural for us to face danger together to complete our mission!" Bingbing anxiously shouted to Tang Li Xue with a pair of teary eyes.

"Xue, what are you talking about?! You are not only our teammate, you are our family! So how could you push us out of danger while you face the danger yourself?!" Silly Fox shouted in a tone filled with anger and unwillingness.

Tang Li Xue felt really guilty when she heard their moving words, but she had already determined to do this, and she did not regret it at all.

"I am really sorry everyone... You all can return to Myriad Foxes Academy first. I promise I will bring Zhu Yan... no, I promise I will bring the Sea Beast Princess Yan Fei back with me later! See you all later!" Tang Li Xue shouted her farewell and turned around, then dashed back to the Garden City.

However, Silly Fox gnashed his teeth unwillingly when he saw Tang Li Xue's lonely back, so he took a deep breath and shouted out loud for Tang Li Xue to hear!

"Tang Li Xue~! You should already know that I love you so much! So, if you dare not to come back alive! I swear I will slaughter everyone in this city to avenge you later!"

"I will also kill that entire Gu Family, Zhu Yan, and Elder Yang!"

"So, don't you dare to die! You have to come back alive no matter what?!"

"Do you hear me?!"

Tang Li Xue slowed down her step as she felt really moved by Silly Fox's words.

"I have to admit you look quite manly today, Silly Fox~! It seems I have to consider making you one of my future concubines later, hehe..." Tang Li Xue chuckled as she hastened her step again.

Bingbing and Silly Fox instantly felt deflated when they saw Tang Li Xue's back getting further and further away from them.

"Let's go, you two. There is no point for us in waiting here." Instructor Mei Lan said to Bingbing and Silly Fox.

"Will we really leave Little Xue alone here?" Bingbing asked Instructor Mei Lan in a frustrated tone.

"Of course... not~!" Instructor Mei Lan replied in a casual tone.

"Then where are we going right now?" The deflated Silly Fox woke up again and asked in a curious tone.

"Asking for some powerful helpers." Instructor Mei Lan muttered as she led her two remaining students out of the secret pa.s.sage.

.....

After some time, Tang Li Xue returned to the locked gate.

Tang Li Xue easily pa.s.sed through the locked gate with her [Ethereal Form] since there was no formation carved on the locked gate.

Tang Li Xue rode on the secret elevator with the sleepy Little Loki in her embrace, and the secret elevator ascended back to the gambling house.

Tang Li Xue in her [Ethereal Form] and Little Loki in an invisible state walked out from the secret elevator behind the bookshelves and entered back to the young woman's luxurious room.

The stunning young woman in the luxurious room was currently reading a book while smoking with a long pipe in her grasp.

Tang Li Xue planned to walk sneakily out of the room with her [Ethereal Form] without being discovered by this scary woman.

Unfortunately, her plan fell apart as the stunning young woman asked in a leisurely tone without even looking away from the book in her grasp: "Why are you coming back here again?"

Tang Li Xue's body stiffened when she heard the stunning young woman's question.

After hesitating for a while, Tang Li Xue canceled her [Ethereal Form] and replied: "I still have unfinished business in this Garden City, so I plan to complete it first."

The stunning young woman chuckled as she closed the book in her grasp and stared at Tang Li Xue intensely for a few moments as if to judge her worth.

Tang Li Xue felt really uncomfortable at the stunning young woman's stare, but she forced herself to bear it.

Finally, the stunning young woman stated in an amused tone with a strange smile on her beautiful face: "You are truly an extremely interesting fox cub."

Then the stunning young woman threw something swiftly to Tang Li Xue!

Tang Li Xue quickly raised her hand reflexively to catch it.

"What is this?" Tang Li Xue asked while staring at the strange talisman in her grasp.

"My investment in you..." The stunning young woman chuckled while replying.

"Investment?" Tang Li Xue murmured while frowning deeply.

"It can be said that I let you owe me a favor, so you can pay it back to me in the future. Do you get it?" The stunning young woman kindly explained to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue did not really understand the stunning young woman's intention, but she still nodded at the stunning young woman and accepted her kindness: "Thank you."

After thanking the stunning young woman, Tang Li Xue walked out of the luxurious room and went out of the gambling house unhindered.
