Chapter 1002: Fox Clan’s City in Azure Mist Continent!
Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Fox Clan’s City in Azure Mist Continent!
Previously, Tang Li Xue thought the Fox Clan’s base, or maybe it could also be called Myriad Foxes Academy, in this Azure Mist Continent, should be much more magnificent than the Myriad Foxes Academy in Lightwind Continent.
After all, the resources in this Azure Mist Continent were many times more precious and abundant than those on the Lightwind Continent.
But she immediately realized that her guess was wrong after they went out of the Space Portal Hall with the others.
All the buildings she saw in this Fox Clan’s base of the Azure Mist Continent’s branch were typical of an ancient Chinese grand city.
It did not look shabby at all.
The architecture certainly looks better than even the Great Wei Dynasty’s capital city.
Unfortunately, they were not as majestic, shocking, and luxurious as the Myriad Foxes Academy in Lightwind Continent.
Tang Li Xue was a bit disappointed, but she also quickly understood the reason for it.
The resources and treasures in this Azure Mist Continent might be many times more abundant than Lightwind Continent, but unfortunately, the Fox Clan… no, not only the Fox Clan but it should be the entire Beast Race in this Azure Mist Continent, were in a difficult situation.
The Beast Race was suppressed so badly by the Human Race in this Azure Mist Continent, so most of the resources and treasures should be grabbed by the Human Race.
“How about it? How does our city compare to yours?” Shao Ying asked curiously in a playful tone.
“Err, well… I think there is not much difference between them.” Tang Li Xue replied casually.
Tang Li Xue did not want to brag about her hometown and hurt Shao Ying’s feelings, so she just told a little lie about it.
Shao Ying rented an ordinary-looking carriage parked near the Space Portal Hall, then rode the carriage with Tang Li Xue and her group.
Lucia’s body was a bit too big to enter the carriage, so she used her [Gigantification] ability to shrink herself to chick-size before she entered the carriage with Tang Li Xue and the others.
Shao Ying brought Tang Li Xue and her team to register their identity at the Mission Hall first.
Even Shao Ying would not be able to save Tang Li Xue and her team if they somehow got arrested by Law Enforcement Officers for being accused as illegal immigrants.
After completing all the formalities, Shao Ying, Tang Li Xue, and her team rode the carriage again and headed straight to the library.
“I want to show you all around the city, but we have to meet Miss Bookkeeper first before that. She has been waiting to meet with you.” Shao Ying said to Tang Li Xue in a flattery tone.
Tang Li Xue was actually also looking forward to meeting with the Bookkeeper as soon as possible, so she smiled back and replied: “No, it is all right. I also want to meet with Miss Bookkeeper.”
While on the way to the library, Tang Li Xue watched the scenery outside the carriage and discovered that even the Fox Clan’s base in this Azure Mist Continent was not as prosperous as in Lightwind Continent.
Based on Shao Ying’s explanations, this city was divided into three circles.
The outer circle was the slum area where the impoverished foxes lived.
The middle circle was the busy district and market area where the merchants opened their businesses or stores and sold their goods.
The inner circle was the upper-class area where the Fox Clan’s higher-ups and their families lived.
It could easily be seen from that that even the foxes in this Azure Mist Continent were also divided into three different classes: the poor class, middle class/merchant class, and high class/foxes with high authority.
It was quite different with Myriad Foxes Academy in Lightwind Continent, where all buildings looked advanced and luxurious.
In fact, Tang Li Xue did not like the class system of the Fox Clan’s base in this Azure Mist Continent.
Of course, she would not say it blatantly to Shao Ying, so she just kept her opinion in her heart.
The Mission Hall was located in the middle circle, so it did not take long for them to reach the luxurious-looking library located in the inner circle.
Shao Ying, Tang Li Xue, and the others got off the carriage, but before they entered the luxurious-looking library, Shao Ying took out a strange talisman from her space pouch and stuck it onto the library’s door first.
Then Shao Ying pushed open the library’s door and said to Tang Li Xue and her group: “You all may enter. Miss Bookkeeper has already been waiting for all of you inside. I will wait for you all outside.”
“Okay, thank you very much for bringing us here.” Tang Li Xue politely thanked Shao Ying before she and her group entered the library together.
The library’s door automatically closed again after Tang Li Xue and her group stepped into the library.
Tang Li Xue felt very familiar when she saw the extremely vast library interior filled with tall bookshelves and countless books.
Tang Li Xue had already seen this scenery when she was called by the Bookkeeper before, but this was the first time Xi’er, Lucia, Little Loki, and Yaya saw it, so they were dumbfounded in awe by the amazing scenery of the library.
Then Tang Li Xue quickly recalled that the Bookkeeper’s mind-reading ability was scarily accurate.
Even when she was protected by the [Heaven Covering Necklace], Bookkeeper still could read what she thought accurately from her expression and body movement!
Tang Li Xue hastily informed Xi’er and the others with telepathy: ’Err, everyone, I think it would be better if you all do not meet with the Bookkeeper. She has the ability to read our minds.’
’Wow, she has a divine ability to read our minds?!’ Xi’er exclaimed in surprise.
Tang Li Xue nodded her head.
Yaya and Lucia also looked solemn, then they immediately agreed with Tang Li Xue’s suggestion.
Only the naughty Little Loki who put on a smug and ridiculed expression as if it did not believe that anyone could read its mind because it was the pure blooded Taotie after all.
In the end, it was decided that Xi’er, Yaya, Lucia, and Little Loki to just hide and not meet with Bookkeeper to be safe.
Tang Li Xue stored Yaya, Lucia, and Little Loki into her System’s pet space, while Xi’er returned into [Sword of Disaster] before Tang Li Xue put away the [Sword of Disaster] into her space pouch.
After that, Tang Li Xue walked deeper into the vast library and finally reached the center of the vast library.
At the center of the vast library, a beautiful fox lady in purple Hanfu dress was sitting leisurely on the sofa while reading the book in her grasp.
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief since the Bookkeeper in front of her was what she was familiar with.
Even though the Bookkeeper was no longer wearing her usual black formal Qipao dress, but her posture and every gesture still looked noble and elegant as before.
Her long straight hair, fox ears, and fox tails were gray in color.
However, her long straight gray hair was not tied in a ponytail this time.
The bookkeeper raised her head and chuckled in amusement while staring at Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue’s body instantly stiffened as she felt her entire body being scanned by the Bookkeeper from head to toe, just like when they first met.
It felt extremely uncomfortable as if she was stripped completely naked by the Bookkeeper’s stare.
Tang Li Xue resisted the uncomfortable feeling, then smiled back and greeted the Bookkeeper: “It is really nice to meet you here, Miss Bookkeeper~!”
“You are truly lucky to be able to survive from the collapsed secret realm.” The bookkeeper muttered while giggling at Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue shook her head and explained in a helpless tone: “I almost died because of it! I cannot even use any of my strength or divine abilities now!”
“At least you are still alive. As for your injuries, I can introduce you to a great doctor who lives in this city. I am sure she can cure your injuries later.” The bookkeeper tried to comfort Tang Li Xue.
“It is all right. I can cure these injuries by myself. It is just that… I may need your help with other things.” Tang Li Xue stated while blushing in shame.
“Oh? You can sit down and tell me slowly about it.” The bookkeeper spoke as she took out another teacup, put it on the table, and poured the tea from the teapot into the new teacup.
Tang Li Xue took the teacup given by the bookkeeper and took a sip of the tea.
In that instant, Tang Li Xue’s mind instantly cleared, her entire body felt warm, and even her comprehension seemed to increase a bit.
“Good tea~!” Tang Li Xue exclaimed in amazement.
Bookkeeper chucked as she waved her fair right hand elegantly, then one of the books instantly flew out from the bookshelves and landed on her palm.
Tang Li Xue immediately recognized the blank book in the Bookkeeper’s hand.
It should be called Story Book.
The bookkeeper also used this Story Book to record her story in the Inheritance Ground Tablet.
So, the Bookkeeper should plan to record her story in Secret Realm using this Story Book.
But the Bookkeeper still explained to Tang Li Xue patiently again: “You should already know that this book is called Story Book. You can narrate your story in Secret Realm while touching the blank page in this book. Let’s start from the very beginning, after you left the Myriad Foxes Academy and headed to the Secret Realm with your team.”
