Reincarnated As a Fox With System novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688 Chapter 688: Arrived at Garden City!

Tang Li Xue still felt unconvinced by Instructor Mei Lan's one-sided slander against all humans, so she asked with a reluctant tone: "Then... Instructor Lan, what if that human did not deceive the Sea Beast Princess at all? Um, I mean... What if that Sea Beast Princess and human truly fell deeply in love with each other?"

Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes disdainfully and replied with a stern tone: "We do not need to care if it was false love or true love! Our task is to bring back the Sea Beast Princess to her home, and somehow we must find a way to prevent her from coming back to see that human again in the future!"

Tang Li Xue did not dare to retort Instructor Mei Lan's words since they might argue with each other because of it, so she chose to remain silent instead.

Both Little Loki and Yaya had already fallen fast asleep first, while Bingbing and Silly Fox were still waiting for Instructor Mei Lan to finish her explanation before they went to sleep.

Instructor Mei Lan coughed to clear her throat and continued her explanation with a solemn tone: "The identity of that male human is also far from simple, so our mission this time is really not an easy one."

"He is the sixth great-grandson of the Alchemist Sect's Grand Elder. Moreover, the Grand Elder appreciates his great talent in alchemy very much. He was also well known as a one-in-thousand-years genius alchemist. His name is Gu Shengxin."

"His cultivation level may not be high. But he definitely has many connections with powerful cultivators because of his identity as a genius alchemist. If we are not careful, we might be besieged and attacked by those powerful cultivators later!"

"Luckily for us, both Yan Fei and Gu Shengxin are currently not living in the Alchemist Sect, or we would not have any chance to approach them at all. The two of them are currently living in the Gu Family's mansion located in Garden City right now."

"Nonetheless, it would still not be easy for us to do anything to them since Garden City is located so close to the Alchemist Sect, and there are many strong cultivators hired by the Alchemist Sect who are guarding that City."

"You could already guess from the city's name alone. Garden City is the place where the Alchemist Sect cultivates the materials for their pill-making. It is an extremely important place for them, so it is not strange that they hired so many strong cultivators to guard it."

"There are also many formations installed there, so we would not be able to move around freely in that Garden City. In short, this S-grade mission is clearly too difficult for us to complete."

Instructor Mei Lan sighed in frustration and helplessness. Then she glared resentfully at Tang Li Xue again.

Tang Li Xue could only pretend not to notice it as cold sweat soaked her forehead in nervousness.

Bingbing braved herself and asked curiously: "Then how could the previous foxes who accepted this mission kidnap that Sea Beast Princess and bring her back?"

Instructor Mei Lan replied again: "They kidnapped that princess by using deception at that time. They imitated Gu Shengxin's voice and successfully called that princess out of Garden City using a fake communication talisman. But that plan clearly would not work anymore for the second time."

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply as she thought of her success chance if she tried to lead that Sea Beast Princess out of the Garden City with her [Mystic Whisper].

But she quickly shook her head to reject the idea as she thought: 'Instructor Lan is right. My chances of success are almost none since that Sea Beast Princess was already fooled once using this plan.'

"All right~! You all can go to sleep now~! I will stay awake and keep on guard, so you all do not need to worry." Instructor Mei Lan instructed them.

Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox took out their sleeping bag from their space pouch and fell asleep together until morning.

The next morning, they immediately rode their Wind Riding Bird and rushed straight toward the Garden City together.

It only took them another few days of nonstop traveling before they finally reached Garden City.

Even though they had heard about Garden City from Instructor Mei Lan before, it still could not be compared to seeing it with their own eyes.

Garden City was actually extremely prosperous with millions of population and more than half of them were cultivators!

Moreover, the professions of most of these people were either farmers or alchemists.

Tang Li Xue glanced at the hundred-meter-tall city walls and saw that they were engraved with unknown formations.

Bingbing quickly followed up and shouted: "Then I will look for more detailed information about Yan Fei tomorrow~!"

After that, Instructor Mei Lan, Silly Fox, and Bingbing stared curiously at Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeve in nervousness and muttered with a hesitant tone: "Then I... uhhh, I will..."

"That is right~! I will keep a close eye on the Gu Family's mansion tomorrow~!" Tang Li Xue said confidently as her topaz blue eyes were shining brighter like a pair of stars in excitement.

Instructor Mei Lan nodded her head in agreement and continued to speak: "Okay, let's move to the next question... Do any of you have any good idea or plan to complete this mission?"

Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox instantly got stumped and fell silent after that.

If it was only kidnapping the Sea Beast Princess and bringing her back to her Sea Beast Kingdom, they might still be able to think a few good ideas.

But if they must also think of a way to make the Sea Beast Princess completely forget about Gu Shengxin and stay obediently in her home like a good girl, then it would be a different matter.

That was a matter of love after all~!

Meanwhile, no one among them has any experience about love at all...

No, maybe only Silly Fox has it, but they clearly could not use it as their reference.

After thinking deeply for more than ten minutes until their heads were almost smoking, they finally decided to give up for today and discuss it again tomorrow.
