nAfter the royal guard team stopped chasing her, Tang Li Xue immediately canceled her Divine Possession mode with Yaya to save her and Yaya's energy.

nTang Li Xue sneaked into the nearby inn in her Ethereal Form.

nEven though the street and the inn were very crowded, but no one could see or sense her when her Ethereal Form and Art of Concealment were activated.

nTang Li Xue secretly entered the empty room in that inn, then she canceled her Ethereal Form and used her transfiguration to transform into her human form.

nSince she was still completely naked after transforming into her human form, Tang Li Xue created a set of white Hanfu dress and a long hooded cloak with her Energy Manipulation to cover her silver furry fox tail and ears.

nAfter putting on the white dress and long hooded cloak to cover her alluring jade-like body, Tang Li Xue began to think about her next plan carefully while sitting on the bed to rest.

n

"From what those Royal Guards said, that whatever something-something formation...

" Tang Li Xue muttered.

n

"Meaw Mew Nyaaaw (Imperial City's Protection Sealing Formation).

" Little Loki added while sitting right beside Tang Li Xue on the bed.

n

"Ah, yes... that Imperial City's Protection Sealing Formation would completely seal this entire city. No one inside this city can get out, and no one outside the city can get in, as long as Imperial City's Protection Sealing Formation is still activated. So, what should we do so we can get out of this city?

" Tang Li Xue said the information she knew and asked herself.

nEven Little Loki was stumped this time and could only frown in silence...

nIf they were in a normal situation, it could easily create a gap in any formation with its Heaven's Devour just like what it had already done in Quanhai City before.

nBut Little Loki clearly could not do it in this Foxes Hunting Festival since there might be some eyes that observe its every move.

nYaya who sat silently on Tang Li Xue's shoulder shook her head to express that she really could not think any way out of it.

nTang Li Xue sighed while putting her palm on her smooth chin and whispered with a soft tone:

"Since Imperial City's Protection Sealing Formation intended to protect this entire city from enemy invasion, it should be extremely powerful. Our combined strength would surely not be enough to forcefully break through it.

"

n

"So, our only way is to find the core formation and destroy it...

" Tang Li Xue concluded.

n

"Meeoow Nyaowww~! (But the core formation should be placed inside the Imperial Palace~!)

" Little Loki immediately reminded.

nTang Li Xue and Little Loki turned their head and stared at each other.

nThen both of them sighed in resignation at the same time.

nYaya saw what Tang Li Xue and Little Loki were doing, then she imitated them to sigh too.

nTo be honest, Tang Li Xue really did not want to go to the Imperial Palace at all.

nJust one team of royal guards was enough to almost kill her before... How many royal guards do you think in that Imperial Palace?

nJust thinking about it was enough to make Tang Li Xue's scalp go numb.

n

"But there is no need for us to hurry... Since we can think like that, the other foxes should be able to think so too. We will wait and see what they will do first.

" Tang Li Xue decided.

nLittle Loki nodded in agreement and growled:

"Nyaw Meoww~! (I am hungry~!)

"

nTang Li Xue giggled while patting Little Loki's head gently and said:

"All right, let's eat first~!

"

nBefore she went out of the inn's room, Tang Li Xue covered her stunningly beautiful face with a veil, so she would not attract any unwanted attention.

nEven though she did not have any penny right now, Tang Li Xue did not worry at all.

nAfter she went out of the inn, Tang Li Xue looked around for a while...

nWhen she saw a middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes wandering on the street with several tough-looking bodyguards, Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes were shining as she muttered playfully:

"There he comes... My money bag~!

"

nTang Li Xue leisurely approached the middle-aged man, but before she could reach the middle-aged man, his several tough-looking bodyguards had already blocked Tang Li Xue's way.

nTang Li Xue pretended to crash lightly onto the bodyguard and fell to the ground.

n

"Ouch~!

" Tang Li Xue whimpered in pain as she secretly made her veil fluttered, so the middle-aged man could peek at her bewitching stunning face.

nJust like Tang Li Xue expected, the middle-aged man was instantly dazzled by her irresistible charming face.

nThe surrounding scene seemed to fade away, only Tang Li Xue was in his eyes and mind right now.

nThe middle-aged man was completely stunned and forgot to react for a few moments.

n

"I am sorry, miss.

" The bodyguard sincerely apologized and reached his hand to help Tang Li Xue get up.

nThe middle-aged man hastily pushed the bodyguard away and wanted to help Tang Li Xue get up instead.

nBut Tang Li Xue had already got up by herself without giving the middle-aged man any chance to touch her.

n

"Ahahaha, I am sorry for my subordinate's impoliteness! Don't worry, young miss! I will make sure to punish him harshly later!

" The middle-aged man cheerfully said to Tang Li Xue.

nTang Li Xue smiled back and replied while slowly standing up and patting her wrinkled cloak:

"You do not need to do it. It is only an accident.

"

nThe middle-aged man became talkative to Tang Li Xue and introduced himself as Wang Shan, the third son of the Minister of Justice.

nTang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in surprise, then she squinted her topaz blue eyes and thought deeply.

n'Wow, I thought he was only a usual rich merchant. To think I could accidentally catch a big fish as soon as I got out of the inn... It seems my luck is as good as always~!' Tang Li Xue thought smugly.

nAt first, Tang Li Xue planned to take this middle-aged man's money and immediately dumped him away, but after knowing his identity, she quickly changed her mind.

n'Wait a minute, why the hell am I seem to act like a proper green tea in a romance story right now... Sigh, whatever... Who cares about that as long as I can use this man to infiltrate the Imperial Palace later~?!' Tang Li Xue thought in her mind while smiling sweetly at the middle-aged man.

nThe middle-aged man invited Tang Li Xue to eat together at the luxurious restaurant.

nOf course, Tang Li Xue would not reject it, and she even ordered many different delicacies for Little Loki and Yaya.

nThe infatuated middle-aged man did not mind it at all as he kept staring at Tang Li Xue with an intoxicated expression.

nBut when Tang Li Xue was enjoying her delicious meal, she sensed someone was watching her from behind with her Extrasensory Perception.

n

"So you are a fox too, aren't you?

" Someone whispered to her with telepathy.

nTang Li Xue calmed down a bit after realizing that the one who observed her might be a participating fox like her too.

n'Well, at least it was not those annoying Royal Guards...' Tang Li Xue thought.

n

"Yes, what do you want?

" Tang Li Xue replied back with her telepathy.

n

"You should already know that our current situation is not that good. As long as that annoying formation is still there, we will never be able to leave this city.

" The observing fox said to Tang Li Xue with telepathy.

nTang Li Xue began to feel annoyed by this fox's long speech.

n

"Just talk to the point!

" Tang Li Xue coldly replied with telepathy.

n

"I have already contacted a few other foxes... I hope we can gather and discuss how to take down this annoying formation together at the lodging near the south gate tonight.

" The observing fox told to Tang Li Xue in one breath and went away from that luxurious restaurant.

nTang Li Xue tapped her slender finger on the table and pondered carefully whether she should come or not.

n

"Miss Tang? Does the food here not suit your taste?

" Wang Shan asked with a worried tone.

nTang Li Xue shook her head and replied while frowning a bit:

"No, all the foods here are extremely delicious. It is just that... I have an urgent matter to do.

"

n

"What is the matter? Maybe I can help you solve it.

" Wang Shan asked again without any hesitation.

n

"My parents are dying, so I must go to see them as soon as possible in another city. But this formation...

" Tang Li Xue muttered with a sad and helpless expression.

n

"Ah, I see so it was like that...

" Wang Shan nodded and began to think hard about how to help Tang Li Xue out.

nTang Li Xue put on a pitiful expression and begged:

"Brother Wang, can you help me get out of this city as soon as possible, so I can quickly meet with my dying parent before they passed away?

"

nWang Shan began to sweat profusely, but he gritted his teeth and replied with a reassuring tone:

"Of course, Miss Tang~! Leave it to me~!

"
