Chapter 808: Instructor Mei Lan's Warning!
*Ding~!
[Do you want to comprehend Ancient Language and Codes with a cost of 30 Deity Coins? Yes/No]
Tang Li Xue: "???!!!"
'System~?! So, you are still alive?! I thought you were already dead! Cough... Err, no... I mean you can actually help me comprehend the Ancient Language and Codes on the ancient map?!' Tang Li Xue thought in surprise.
Tang Li Xue suddenly recalled that the System had already helped her decode the secret message in the Asura Demon Sect before, so it should not be strange that her System could also help her comprehend the Ancient Language and Codes on the ancient map.
'Damn, it only cost 30 Deity Coins?! It is so cheap! Teacher Li Wei many months of hard work to crack the Ancient Language and Codes on the ancient map is only worth 30 Deity Coins! It is really not worth it at all!' Tang Li Xue secretly lamented for Teacher Li Wei.
Just when Tang Li Xue was hesitating if she should spend 30 Deity Coins or not to comprehend the Ancient Language and Codes on the ancient map...
"Nyaaaowww~!"
Little Loki who played around with Yaya just now suddenly ran toward Tang Li Xue and bit her skirt.
"What is wrong, Little Loki? Do you want to take pee-pee? Oh, I know... You should be hungry, right?" Tang Li Xue asked doubtfully after she saw Little Loki's strange behavior.
Little Loki rolled its eyes unhappily at Tang Li Xue's inquiries.
It was Taotie's cub, the leader of the majestic four Evil Fiend Beasts!
Do you really think it ever takes pee-pee like the other normal beasts?!
Well, the hungry part was not wrong since Little Loki always felt hungry all the time, but that was not what it wanted to say right now!
"Nyaa Meow Mew Nyaw Nyeow~!" (I smell so many delicious things hidden over there~!)
Little Loki meowed cutely while pointing its small paw in a certain direction deeper inside the gorges.
Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in shock and asked Little Loki using her [Lock-On Telepathy] so no one could hear what they were talking about: "You say so many delicious things hidden in that direction? Since all of them are hidden, can you open the way to enter there?"
Little Loki put on its smug expression and patted its small furry chest proudly as if it was saying 'Easy peasy, just leave it to me'.
Tang Li Xue immediately realized that Little Loki should be able to sense the Secret Realm's entrance using its treasure detection ability, and it could even forcefully open the Secret Realm's entrance using its [Heaven's Devour].
Tang Li Xue's cherry pink lips twitched slightly as she thought: 'Well, I can spend some of my Deity Coins to decode the ancient map, while Little Loki can detect the Secret Realm's entrance and open it with its ability. Good guy, does it mean I can just complete this exploration alone without anyone's help?!'
Tang Li Xue looked around to see that the exploration team was working so hard to find the trace of space fluctuation, so they could lock the exact location of the Secret Realm's entrance.
She also saw that Teacher Li Wei, Zhu Jun, and Zhu Zhenhua had already taken out a big wooden table and sat on the jade stone seats, then they flipped several thick books and sometimes argued with each other as they tried to decode the last part of code written in Ancient Language on the treasure map.
'Err, should I help them out, so we can enter the Secret Realm faster? But would they be ashamed to death if they knew that a young junior like me could complete all their work alone?' Tang Li Xue thought while pinching her smooth chin.
After pondering carefully for a few moments, Tang Li Xue shook her head to deny that idea.
It would be all right to show her true abilities in front of her close acquaintances such as Silly Fox, Teacher Li Wei, and Instructor Mei Lan, but she did not want... or rather she did not dare to show her true abilities blatantly in front of so many unknown people... or foxes like this exploration team.
But the exploration team clearly progressed at a snail-crawling pace, and it might take her a few days to a few weeks to lock the Secret Realm's entrance, not to mention that they also need to find a way to open it later.
Tang Li Xue definitely did not want to waste so much of her precious time waiting here, so she decided to tell Instructor Mei Lan about it secretly.
As for why Tang Li Xue did not tell the Silly Fox or Teacher Li Wei instead... Silly Fox clearly could not be relied on other than the matter of fighting, whereas Teacher Li Wei's mysterious background made Tang Li Xue unable to fully trust him yet.
Instructor Mei Lan currently helped the exploration team set up their space fluctuation detection devices.
Tang Li Xue approached Instructor Mei Lan and made a random excuse to talk to her: "Instructor Lan, can you accompany me for a while? I need to take a pee-pee!"
Little Loki who was sitting on Tang Li Xue's left shoulder almost slipped and fell down when it heard Tang Li Xue's lame excuse.
Even the male foxes in the exploration team were blushing while lowering their head after they accidentally heard Tang Li Xue's words.
Instructor Mei Lan glared unhappily at Tang Li Xue, but Tang Li Xue only stared back innocently at her.
Then Instructor Mei Lan sighed and went with Tang Li Xue while asking using telepathy: "Just say what you want to do?! If you dare to say any more nonsense I will make sure you regret it right now."
Tang Li Xue's slender body shuddered slightly in fright after she heard Instructor Mei Lan's threat.
She could only honestly tell everything to Instructor Mei Lan, except for the part that she could comprehend the Ancient Language and Codes on the ancient map with the help of her System.
Instructor Mei Lan frowned with a serious expression as she began to ponder carefully.
Instructor Mei Lan explained to Tang Li Xue and let her make her own decision: "Revealing that you can read the Ancient Language and Codes on the ancient map will only attract unwanted attention, so would be better for you to pretend not to know it unless you can explain where you learned it from."
"Don't worry. Sissy Wei already spends so much time decoding the Ancient Language, so it should not take a long time for him to completely comprehend them."
"I can secretly help the exploration team by pointing out the location of the Secret Realm's entrance, but you should restrain your pet, so it would not forcefully open the Secret Realm's entrance!"
"We still do not know what kind of danger would be triggered as the consequence of forcefully opening it, so it would be better for us to be more careful."
"Not to mention your pet's ability to forcefully open the secret realm's entrance would attract the attention of the exploration team, so don't cry to me if they ask the origin of your pet or try to borrow your pet later!" Instructor Mei Lan warned Tang Li Xue with telepathy.
Tang Li Xue's expression turned a bit pale after she heard Instructor Mei Lan's detailed explanation and warning.
She nodded at Instructor Mei Lan with a solemn expression signaling that she understood what she needed to do.
Instructor Mei Lan patted Tang Li Xue's shoulder while smiling satisfyingly at her and saying: "The tall tree will attract violent wind. So, it would be best to always keep low-key unless you have a powerful background or enough strength."
Tang Li Xue clearly did not have both of them, so if she was attracting the attention of powerful ones and being targeted by them, she could only be beaten passively.
Of course, both Instructor Mei Lan and Teacher Li Wei have powerful backgrounds, but it was definitely impossible for them to protect Tang Li Xue anytime anywhere like her parents.
Moreover, it was still questionable whether the powerful foxes behind Instructor Mei Lan and Teacher Li Wei would always help them protect Tang Li Xue.
Take Instructor Mei Lan's parents for example, they did not have any close relationship with Tang Li Xue, so they might not have wanted to help Tang Li Xue anymore after they helped her out once or twice.
In short, Instructor Mei Lan wanted to teach Tang Li Xue to be more aware of her situation and be more careful at all times.
After that, Tang Li Xue stopped paying attention to the exploration team's work.
She also warned Little Loki to never do any rash action for now.
Little Loki deflated and pouted cutely in disappointment, but it still decided to obediently follow Tang Li Xue's advice.
Tang Li Xue caressed Little Loki's tiny furry head in satisfaction and fed it a lot of beast cores she bought with credits before she went out of the Myriad Foxes Academy.
After happily eating the beast cores given by Tang Li Xue, Little Loki brought Yaya to play around the gorges again.
Tang Li Xue did not bother them and summoned out her perfect copy instead, then she and her perfect copy began to practice the Profound Law of Heat and Cold from [Yin And Yang Chaotic Formula] together.
