Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 462: Clingy Beiming Chu!



Chapter 462: Clingy Beiming Chu!

Tang Li Xue stared coldly at the tied Beiming Chu while pondered her options carefully.

After a few moments, Tang Li Xue finally loosened her grip on the [Frost Swan Sword] and sighed: ‘Sigh… I am still too soft. Although I knew that it will become a fatal weakness, but… I really cannot act so decisively like Instructor Mei Lan.’ 

‘All right, I cannot kill him unless he tried to kill me first. But it does not mean that I cannot use him at all, right?! I can still use him as a hostage and exchange him with something valuable from the other Oracle Mountain Sect’s core disciples.’ Tang Li Xue thought as she put her slim finger onto her chin.

“Err… Hello? Miss Xue? Can you set me free from these vines now?” Beiming Chu muttered with an embarrassed tone as he tried to wiggle his body to free himself, but the vines bound his body tighter instead.

‘Ais… Just forget it. It will only make me look despicable if I act like that. He is a good person anyway since he did not abandon me and run away alone when that carnivorous tree targeted me before, so it is not nice for me to treat him like that. Sigh… This is the fault of my previous life’s memories and also my brother who always told me to treat a sincere person with sincerity.’ Tang Li Xue shook her head.

Tang Li Xue hesitated for a bit, but in the end, she still swung her [Frost Swan Sword] several times to cut all of the vines that tied Beiming Chu.

When Tang Li Xue busily released Beiming Chu from the vines, Little Loki already jumped down from Tang Li Xue’s right shoulder and approached the giant carnivorous tree that had already been chopped down by Tang Li Xue.

Neither Tang Li Xue nor Beiming Chu realized that the giant carnivorous tree was actually still alive!

As one of the treasured trees, the trunk of this giant carnivorous tree could be used as the main material to craft treasured weapons.

The reason for that was because this giant carnivorous tree has enormous vitality, and it was very resilient, so it means that it would not immediately die even after Tang Li Xue chopped it down.

It waited patiently and pretended to die until now while it actually planned to launch a sneak attack on Tang Li Xue when she dropped down her guard and put away her [Frost Swan Sword] back into her space pouch later.

Unfortunately, the giant carnivorous tree’s act still could not fool Little Loki’s third eye.

Nyaaaw~!!!

When the carnivorous tree realized that Little Loki approached it from Little Loki’s voice, the carnivorous tree immediately urged all of its vines to attack Little Loki, Tang Li Xue, and Beiming Chu at once.

However, the giant carnivorous tree instantly fell dreadful as it actually could not move any of its vines!

Apparently, the giant carnivorous tree was already affected by Little Loki’s [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation]! 

Little Loki stared at the helpless giant carnivorous tree, then Little Loki stretched its lips revealing its row of sharp teeth.

Although the giant carnivorous tree did not have any eyes to see Little Loki’s frightening evil grin, but its sense was screaming in horror under Little Loki’s eerie aura.

Then Little Loki opened its tiny mouth widely.

BWOOOOOSSSHH~!!!

A giant carnivorous tree that was taller than one hundred meters was actually sucked into Little Loki’s tiny mouth in one gulp!

After Little Loki swallowed the entire giant carnivorous tree, it licked its lips with a satisfied expression as if it had just eaten a delicious delicacy, then it ran back toward Tang Li Xue and jumped onto her right shoulder.

Little Loki yawned and curled on Tang Li Xue’s right shoulder to sleep and digest the energy it got from the giant carnivorous tree.

Meanwhile, Beiming Chu quickly stood up after Tang Li Xue released him from the vines of the carnivorous tree.

Beiming Chu smiled at Tang Li Xue while he stored his sword into his spatial ring and said to Tang Li Xue as he scratched the back of his head in guilt: “Thank you very much, Miss Xue! Ah, I am also very sorry, Miss Xue. I really did not mean to pull you into danger.”

“Don’t worry about it. I understand. It is not your fault.” Tang Li Xue nodded and smiled back at Beiming Chu.

Beiming Chu blushed hard when he saw Tang Li Xue’s dazzling smile. 

He lowered his head and did not dare to stare directly at Tang Li Xue anymore. 

When Tang Li Xue saw Beiming Chu’s silly blushing expression, she giggled lightly since his expression felt really familiar.

‘This guy… looks a lot like Silly Fox. Sigh… I started to miss Silly Fox, Bingbing, Yaya, and Instructor Mei Lan again. I wonder what they are doing right now…’ Tang Li Xue sighed.

“Eh? Wait a minute… where is that giant tree?” Beiming Chu asked as he stared at the place where the giant carnivorous tree stood up before.

Tang Li Xue quickly turned around to check it, but she also quickly realized what happened as she glared at the sleeping Little Loki on her right shoulder.

But Tang Li Xue still decided to act surprised and said: “How can that carnivorous tree disappear? I see… So, that carnivorous tree must be pretending to be dead when I cut it down!”

“Yes, it should have run away when you tried to release me from its vines before. Sigh… I actually want to slay that evil tree to avenge my dead comrades. But… Forget it! At least, my other comrades, Miss Chu, and I are still alive now.” Beiming Chu murmured while shaking his head in disappointment.

Tang Li Xue quickly shifted the topic and said her farewell to Beiming Chu.

However, Beiming Chu invited Tang Li Xue to join his team instead. 

He even generously offered to give her a 50% share of the precious herbs and fruits they will harvest from this herb garden later.

“50 percent? Are you really sure to give me so much?” Tang Li Xue raised her eyebrow in suspicion.

“Yep, I and my comrades will only take 50%, and you can take the other 50%. You can even pick the precious herbs and fruit first later. How about it? Please, do not refuse my offer, Miss Xue. This is my only way to return your favor for saving my life before.” Beiming Chu said while gave fist palm salute to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue did not immediately agree to Beiming Chu’s enticing offer.

She put her slender finger on her chin and started to ponder her options.

The Beiming Chu’s offer might be very attractive since many hands to harvest this herb garden was certainly much faster than only use her two hands. 

Moreover, she would get 50% of the harvest… but the risk was also too high for Tang Li Xue.

Beiming Chu might be failed to recognize Tang Li Xue as the one who stole all of their ancient jade emblems before, but it did not mean the other core disciples of the Oracle Mountain Sect would not recognize her too.

If that really happened later, then Tang Li Xue would be trapped in the middle of enemies like a bird trapped in the cage…

‘It is an enticing offer but too dangerous for me to accept. Let’s just refuse it.’ Tang Li Xue decided in her mind.

“I am sorry, Brother Beiming, but I have something important I must do as soon as possible.” Tang Li Xue tried to politely refuse.

“Something important to do? In this herb garden? But there might be more dangerous creatures living in this herb garden. It is too dangerous for you to travel alone here. What if I accompany you to…” Beiming Chu blurted out with a tone filled with worried, but Tang Li Xue quickly interrupted his words.

“No need! Uhh… I mean… I know you must quickly find your comrades first, right? Who knows if your comrades are facing the other dangerous creatures, so you must find them as soon as possible. You do not need to worry about me. I have many means to keep my life. See you later, Brother Beiming!” Tang Li Xue quickly bid farewell to Beiming Chu and dashed toward the deeper area of the Herb Garden.

Beiming Chu still wanted to offer to follow Tang Li Xue, but Tang Li Xue’s slender figure already disappeared under the effect of white fog, tall trees, and bushes.

‘Urgh… That guy is so clingy… Even more clingy than Silly Fox!’ Tang Li Xue complained in her heart as she wiped the cold sweat on her forehead.

She felt quite nervous when she spoke with Beiming Chu because she was afraid that Beiming Chu would suddenly find out about her identity. 

But at least, Tang Li Xue had realized something crucial from the previous battle… It seems the current level of her [Art of Concealment] was good enough to remain undetected by the plant such as the previous carnivorous tree.

‘Those core disciples of Oracle Mountain Sect would certainly harvest all the precious herbs and fruits from their vicinity first. So, my only option is to head into the deepest part of this Herb Garden. I bet the most precious herbs or fruits should have been hidden in the deepest part of this Herb Garden, just like the herb garden in Asura Demon Sect I rob before.’ Tang Li Xue deduced in her mind.
