nTang Li Xue had also already put Little Loki and Yaya into her system's pet space on time before those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators could scan and find them.

nTang Li Xue grasped her hands nervously when she saw so many royal guards and imperial soldiers scattered on the entire street, and many of them were also flying around the sky above the Imperial City to patrol.

nThe royal guards and the imperial soldiers checked the suspicious-looking people on the street one by one carefully, and some of them were even taken into custody.

n'Sigh… I should really not go out at this time and just wait patiently in my room instead.' Tang Li Xue sighed in regret, but it was already too late for her to back down right now.

nTang Li Xue hastened her steps to pass those royal guards and imperial soldiers quickly.

nUnfortunately, a few royal guards immediately spotted her and called her:

"Hey, you over there~! The person who is covered with a white hooded cloak~! Come here~!

"

nTang Li Xue halted her step while gnashing her pearl-white teeth in frustration.

nShe even considered ignoring that royal guard's call and just quickly running away from here as fast as she could, but that was clearly a worse decision to make since it would only make them even more suspicious of her.

nShe was completely trapped in this Imperial City right now like a turtle in the urn, so it would be impossible for her to run away from these royal guards and imperial soldiers.

nTang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm down her turbulent mood.

nShe turned around to face the approaching royal guards and greeted them politely with a charming smile on her stunning face:

"Ah? Does Sir Officer just call me?

"

nEven though Tang Li Xue was currently wearing a white veil to cover her stunning face, but her topaz blue eyes were enough to amaze those approaching royal guards.

nThose royal guards nodded and smiled politely at her while one of them asked:

"I am sorry, Miss, for our obstruction. But we have an urgent task from higher-ups to inspect every suspicious person in the city to find a group of dangerous runaway prisoners.

"

nTang Li Xue giggled instead to cover her nervousness and replied with a playful tone:

"So, Sir Officer think of me as a suspicious person? Do I really look like a dangerous runaway criminal? How mean of you, Sir Officer~!

"

nSeveral royal guards blushed, and one of them immediately denied nervously:

"Of course not... I think... No, I mean, we think it should be impossible for an innocent beauty like Young Miss to be a criminal...

"

nThe other royal guards hastily added:

"Yes, we really sincerely think so, but our higher-ups strictly ordered us to check everyone's head since that group of dangerous runaway prisoners should have a mark on the top of their heads.

"

nTang Li Xue's slender body unconsciously shuddered after she heard their words.

nTang Li Xue thought solemnly: 'So, they already know that even foxes like us transfigured into human form, we would definitely still have a pair of fox ears on the top of our heads, so they used it to identify us.'

nTang Li Xue still maintained her calm and playful manner in front of the royal guards in order for them to lower their guard.

nTang Li Xue nodded and replied while giggling playfully:

"Oh, I see... So it is a strict order from your higher-ups. If that is the case, it really cannot be helped. All right~! But only for a moment, okay~? I am a shy person after all, hehehe~!

"

nDespite keep acting playful in front of those few royal guards, her topaz blue eyes had already scanned her surroundings carefully, and her mind was thinking fast about her next action.

n'It seems I really have no choice other than to obey them... Maybe I should just use Mystic Whisper on them and give an order to them, so they will not be able to see my fox ears?!' Tang Li Xue vigilantly thought.

nJust when she decided to do it, and she almost opened her pink lips to use her Mystic Whisper...

nTang Li Xue suddenly remembered the harsh lesson she learned from the seventh treasure game before...

nAt that time, she also used Mystic Whisper on several City Lord's guards, but their captains could actually use it to track back her location instead!

nShe immediately canceled her plan and thought:

"No, Mystic Whisper might be extremely useful and powerful, but they can use the vitality energy I left on the target to track me!'

nJust when the several royal guards began to lose their patience, and Tang Li Xue also started to panic...

nShe suddenly got a flash of inspiration in her mind.

nTang Li Xue pulled down her white veil and raised the hood on the top of her head, but her alluring topaz blue eyes were shining dimly, and the mysterious light reflected on the eyes of those several royal guards.

nEyes of Illusion~!

nAt this time, several royal guards saw the beautiful Tang Li Xue, but her face was not as stunningly beautiful as usual, and there were no silver furry fox ears on the top of her head.

nYes, Eyes of Illusion was not her divine ability. It was one of the skills from her Spiritualist Battle Style, so unlike Mystic Whisper, it would not leave any trace such as her vitality energy on the targets.

nAfter one or two seconds, Tang Li Xue quickly covered her face and head with a white veil and hood again.

nEven though she had already used Eyes of Illusion on several royal guards in front of her, but there was no guarantee that the other royal guards or imperial soldiers nearby would not accidentally see her fox ears instead.

nTang Li Xue's heart was beating more rapidly because of her nervousness as if it would jump out from her chest.

n

"All right, thank you very much for your cooperation, Young Miss.

" One of the royal guards nodded at Tang Li Xue with a silly smile on his face.

nTang Li Xue chucked and replied with a relaxed tone:

"You are welcome, Sir Officer~! Then I can go now, right? My friends are already waiting for me, so I am afraid they look for me soon.

"

nSeveral royal guards stopped blocking in front of Tang Li Xue, so she quickly passed them and continued her way to the foxes' meeting place.

nBut just after Tang Li Xue took a dozen steps from them, one of the royal guards called Tang Li Xue again from behind:

"Excuse me, Young Miss~!

"

nTang Li Xue halted her step again while gnashing her pearl-white teeth.

n'Oh, no~! Did one of them manage to see through my Eyes of Illusion?! Damn it~! What to do now?!' Tang Li Xue anxiously thought.

nShe took a deep breath to forcefully calm down before turning to face those royal guards and asked:

"Yes? Is there anything else you need from me, Sir Officer?

"

nThe royal guard who called Tang Li Xue blushed like a prawn as he muttered softly:

"Can I know your name and where you live, Young Miss? Maybe I can visit you at another time after this task is finished.

"

nTang Li Xue chuckled playfully, but she secretly felt relieved in her heart.

nTang Li Xue continued her step and playfully waved her hand to the asking royal guard while saying:

"My name is Tang Xue. I am currently staying at an inn near the south gate.

"

n'Well, I am currently heading there right now, so saying I am staying at an inn near the south gate should not make those royal guards suspicious of me, right?' Tang Li Xue doubtfully asked in her mind.

nAfter walking quite far from those several royal guards, Tang Li Xue wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeve.

n

"Sigh... That was a close one. I hope those other foxes can give me some surprise, if not, all of these tensions and efforts would be in vain.

" Tang Li Xue murmured with a resentful tone.

nIt did not take long for Tang Li Xue to reach the appointment place.

n

"You are late.

" A feminine voice entered Tang Li Xue's ear before she could step into the inn.

nTang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes when she saw a petite fox girl who complained about her.

nActually, Tang Li Xue could have reached this place much earlier if she had dashed at her full speed, but of course, she did not dare to do it under so many watchful eyes of those royal guards and imperial soldiers.

nTang Li Xue did not bother to explain. She leisurely sat on one of the seats and asked the petite fox girl instead:

"So, everyone has already arrived before me?

"

nThe other tall fox girl who wore a green dress shook her head and replied with a disappointed tone:

"I invited six foxes in total, but only three came including you.

"
