Chapter 278 High Fever!
When Tang Li Xue opened her topaz blue eyes, she already stood on the giant stone ring in the enormous bright hall.
There were many foxes in their human form wearing a black cloak in this enormous bright hall. Some of them were entering the space gates, while the others were exiting the space gates on the top of the giant stone rings.
Tang Li Xue quickly jumped down from the giant stone ring and exited from the enormous bright hall.
Tang Li Xue took off her black cloak, revealing her fluffy silver foxtail and her pair of cute silver fox ears.
She took a deep breath when she saw the familiar majestic city in front of her eyes and murmured: "Finally, I am back!"
Tang Li Xue felt that she really wanted to cry in relief and joy so badly. She only went out from this Myriad Foxes Academy for a few days, but she felt as if she had already gone from here for a few years.
From babysat those two most problematic pampered disciples in the forest until she must infiltrate into Quanhai City to buy something they need...
Then she got chased like a criminal in Quanhai City until Little Loki's hatched from its egg...
Moreover, she got chased by the greedy robbers from Immortal Sword Sect...
She even got stalked by a perverted sexy lady in the red dress...
Somehow she made the stupidest decision to infiltrated back into Quanhai City to dispel the blood barrier and must face the monstrous nine-headed dark crimson snake...
In the end, she even almost got killed by that ugly tarantula and was forced to accept the help from her future enemy, that Yang... something, the elder from Immortal Sword Sect...
Too many things happened after she left the Myriad Foxes Academy that Tang Li Xue still wondered about how lucky she was to still keep her little life until now even after facing those disasters one after another.
Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm her mood before she decided to head directly toward the Pharmacy and Alchemist Association.
Tang Li Xue did not stay for too long in the Pharmacy and Alchemist Association. She gave the two disciples who were sticking on the stone blocks to the front desk staff.
Tang Li Xue also took out the necessary herbs and ingredients to make the pills and gave them to the front desk staff too.
The front desk staff was stunned silly for a few moments when she was looking at the two disciples' condition. While Tang Li Xue explained clearly what happened in Quanhai City and why these two disciples could sticking on those stone blocks like that.
After made sure the two disciples were actually unharmed, the front desk staff took out the necessary documents as proof that Tang Li Xue completed the mission given by the Pharmacy and Alchemist Association and gave it to Tang Li Xue.
Of course, Tang Li Xue already healed all of their wounds with [Talisman of Regeneration +2] before bringing them here. That was the reason why they were completely unharmed now.
Tang Li Xue brought the necessary documents to the mission hall and gave them to the front desk staff of the mission hall along with her mission's bamboo tube.
"Congratulation! You are the seventh person to complete the D-Grade mission. From now on, you are a Silver Badge holder." The front desk staff gave a graceful bow and congratulated Tang Li Xue with a gentle smile on her face.
Ding!
[Quest Completed!]
[Gained: Level +3(+1), Stat Point+300(+75), Skill Point+45(+11), 300(+75) Deity Coins]

[Congratulation! You have achieved level 7! Stat Point +100, Skill Point +15]
[Congratulation! You have achieved level 8! Stat Point +100, Skill Point +15]

[Congratulation! You have achieved level 10! Stat Point +100, Skill Point +15]
'Phew…At last, this quest is completed! Unfortunately, I did not get a perfect evaluation… Oh well, the quest is really hard this time. I should be grateful since I managed to complete it with my life still intact.' Tang Li Xue thought.
There were two parts where Tang Li Xue had failed to do. That was probably the main reason why she did not get the perfect evaluation in this quest.
[Quest: (Bodyguard) protect the conceited disciples of the Pharmacy and Alchemist Association from any harm and help them finish their assignments!]
First, Tang Li Xue harmed the two disciples herself multiple times, and she even stabbed them a few times in the end.
Although she healed both of them using her [Talisman of Regeneration +2] and brought them in completely unharmed condition back to Pharmacy and Alchemist Association, the system probably already reduced Tang Li Xue's score from that.
Second, she failed to get absolute obedience from those two disciples. In fact, Tang Li Xue even half-forced the two of them to help her baiting so many crimson-robed guards before.
Just from these two points was more than enough to make the system cut Tang Li Xue's score by half. So she definitely could not get the perfect evaluation this time.
Tang Li Xue did not mind it very much, since she already knew that this quest was too hard for her to handle.
"Thank you very much!" Tang Li Xue happily replied while nodded back to the front desk staff.
Tang Li Xue needed to give her bronze badge and bronze card to the front desk staff first. The front desk staff took only half an hour to upgrade Tang Li Xue's bronze badge and bronze card to Silver Rank.
The front desk staff inputted the mission Tang Li Xue has completed into the mission hall's record, but she widened her eyes in shock and read the documents, again and again, to make sure she did not read it wrong.
When the front desk staff gave the silver badge and silver card back to Tang Li Xue, she stared weirdly at Tang Li Xue. It was a mixed gaze between awe, disbelief, and pity.
Tang Li Xue's [Extrasensory Perception] was extremely sharp, so how could she do not detected the front desk staff's strange gaze.
"Uh... why are you looking at me like that?" Tang Li Xue asked curiously.
"Please pardon me for my impoliteness, but... can I ask you something?" The front desk staff asked while kept fidgeting.
Tang Li Xue felt a bit hesitant, but she still nodded.
"Are you... really completed that mission?" The front desk staff spoke softly to Tang Li Xue.
"What mission? Isn't the details of the mission I completed already written in the documents?" Tang Li Xue asked doubtfully.
"So... you really completed the escort mission of the two disciples of the Pharmacy and Alchemist Association?!" The front desk staff screamed in surprise and disbelief. She realized that she made a mistake and quickly covered her mouth, but it was already too late...
"What?! Someone already completed that accursed mission?! Impossible!"
"EHHHH~!!! That legendary mission? The mission to escort those annoying pampered kids from Pharmacy and Alchemist Association?! Someone completed it?! How is that possible?!"
"Where… Where is the hero who completed the mission with the two demons from Pharmacy and Alchemist Association?! I want to see it!"
A group of foxes in their human form started to dash out from the several different rooms to check on the one who completed that mission.
Tang Li Xue did not want to become a center of attention, so she quickly stored her silver badge and silver card in her space pouch, then sprinted out from the mission hall.
"Wa… Wait a minute… Young Miss…" The front desk staff tried to call Tang Li Xue back, but Tang Li Xue already went out of the mission hall and ran back to the Residential Building.
'What's wrong with these people… err… I mean foxes?! Is it really necessary for them to act that way? I only completed the simplest D-Grade mission, right?!' Tang Li Xue grumbled.
When she arrived back at the Residential Building, the first thing Tang Li Xue did was to enter the luxurious restaurant on the first floor and ate many delicious delicacies until her stomach was about to burst.
All of the foods she ate today were really delicious, but she still somewhat feels that the roasted meat made by Elder Yang was more up to her taste and made her crave for more and more from time to time.
'I wonder why? Maybe that Elder Yang put something addictive in his roasted meat?' Tang Li Xue pondered while she walked back to her room.
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue still did not remember that Elder Yang's roasted meat was actually the first delicious food she ever tasted before. Maybe that was the reason why she found it so addictive.
When Tang Li Xue entered back into her bedroom, she immediately slumped on her soft and comfortable bed. She did not care even if it was still midday and slept so tightly until the next morning.
…..
…
.
The next morning, Tang Li Xue woke up very late.
The first thing she did was to check Yaya's current condition.
Yaya was already completely recovered from the [Divine Possession Mode]'s backlash, and even her stamina was also recovered completely.
When Tang Li Xue summoned out Yaya from her system's pet storage, Yaya immediately pounced onto Tang Li Xue and kissed her cheek so many times.
Tang Li Xue played around and teased Yaya for a while. Both of them laughed and giggled happily while rolling over on the top of the soft bed.
After that, Tang Li Xue also checked the conditions of Phoenix of Pride and Little Loki.
The deep-blue Phoenix of Pride was already completely recovered too, but it was still lazily sleeping near the [Sun Dragon King's Pearl] in Tang Li Xue's Dantian.
The [Sun Dragon King's Pearl] kept strengthening and accelerating the Phoenix of Pride growth and cultivation bit by bit.
The Phoenix of Pride also kept absorbing the [Pure Yang Sun Flame] stored inside the [Sun Dragon King's Pearl], although the amount was very minuscule every day.
With the help of [Sun Dragon King's Pearl], the Phoenix of Pride could probably catch up to Blood of Lust's growth after one or two years.
As for Little Loki's current condition, Tang Li Xue was not really sure too, but it seems quite bad.
Its small black furry body was actually burning hot!
"Is Little Loki having a high fever right now? But how could a high-grade beast like Little Loki get a high fever?! This does not make sense at all!" Tang Li Xue murmured while frowned deeply.
Tang Li Xue's heart was very anxious and worried about Little Loki's current condition. But her mind was still cool and rational thanks to her [Indomitable Will].
Tang Li Xue pondered carefully about her next step and what she needed to do to cure Little Loki's illness for a few moments. She decided to check on her [Immortal World's Newbie Guide] first to find some clues about Little Loki's species.
