Reincarnated As A Fox With System

Chapter 1036: Chapter 1036: Xu Yang’s Interrogation!

Tang Li Xue canceled her [Thousand Myriad Faces] and revealed her stunningly beautiful appearance without wearing any mask or veil to cover it.

"Hello, uncle. Hello, Doctor Xu. Uh, I... have something important to do, so I come back to this palace." Tang Li Xue greeted the middle-aged man in a Taoist uniform and Xu Yang with an awkward smile on her charming face.

"Oh~! So, it is you~!" The Taoist uncle exclaimed in realization before he glanced at Xu Yang with a teasing smirk on his face.

Tang Li Xue took out several packages of snacks she had bought from Fox Clan City, then pushed them to Xu Yang and the Taoist uncle.

"These things are meeting gifts from me. They are not valuable, so I hope you two will not despise them. That’s all for today. I will see you again tomorrow." Tang Li Xue said to Xu Yang and the Taoist uncle, then she turned around.

But before she could get out of Xu Yang’s courtyard, the Taoist uncle suddenly blocked her way.

Tang Li Xue tried to pass from the right, but the Taoist uncle also stepped to the right to block her.

Then Tang Li Xue tried to pass from the left, but the Taoist uncle stepped to the left and blocked her again.

"Do you think you can just come and go as you please after you barge into my place?" Xu Yang muttered in a chilling tone.

Tang Li Xue nervously swallowed her saliva as she turned around again to face Xu Yang.

"Err, then... what should I do?" Tang Li Xue timidly asked Xu Yang.

Xu Yang turned around and headed to his room while muttering: "Come in first. We will discuss it inside."

When Tang Li Xue and Taoist uncle could only see his back, Xu Yang silently touched his chest.

His heart was still beating so fast and hard uncontrollably after he had such an intimate close contact with Tang Li Xue just now.

Her warm breath and sweet feminine scent made him almost lose his reason.

Xu Yang knew that he had a feeling for Tang Li Xue.

But even so, he was clearly not an impulsive person who would fawn over the girl he liked and blindly trust her.

The real cause of the Second Prince’s death was actually because Tang Li Xue lured him out of the palace.

Even though Tang Li Xue had disguised herself before, but there were many clues about it because there were so many eyewitnesses when Tang Li Xue lured the Second Prince out of the palace before.

If it weren’t for Xu Yang’s help, who secretly cleaned up all the mess Tang Li Xue left behind, some smart people might have been able to guess that Tang Li Xue was the perpetrator behind that.

Third Prince saved the fox girl and brought her into the palace, then the fox girl went missing after escaping from Heavenly Prison, someone infiltrated the palace with amazing disguise skills, the Second Prince’s sudden death...

After connecting all of those dots, it was hard not to suspect Tang Li Xue’s involvement in the Second Prince’s death.

And now, Tang Li Xue had actually returned to the crime scene as if nothing had happened at all and greeted him as soon as she entered the palace.

Xu Yang would never believe Tang Li Xue really does not have any ulterior motive for him.

Not to mention, someone also tried to infiltrate his courtyard yesterday, but when his guardian tried to catch her, that sneaky thief still managed to escape in the end.

However, the Taoist uncle discovered that the sneaky thief was using divine abilities to escape from him, so the sneaky thief was probably from the Beast Race.

There were not many Beast Races that could have human form before they evolved into Spirit Beasts.

The most famous and cunning one among them was, of course, the Fox Clan.

From all of those clues, Xu Yang easily concluded that the Fox Clan might have a grand plan involving him.

This is Xu Yang.

He is cold, intelligent, and rational.

Just because he had a feeling for Tang Li Xue does not mean he would do anything for her or the Fox Clan behind her, especially if the Fox Clan planned to ruin the Great Wei Dynasty.

Without any other choice, Tang Li Xue could only grit her pearl-white teeth and obediently follow Xu Yang into his room.

The middle-aged Taoist uncle followed closely behind her without giving her even the slightest chance to escape.

Of course, if Tang Li Xue really wanted to escape from here, she could easily do it by using the [Swap] skill to exchange her location with her perfect copy.

But doing that will only ruin her relationship with Xu Yang, so Tang Li Xue decided to just bear with it for now.

Anyway, Xu Yang would surely not kill her without any clear reason, right? Err, well... Maybe... Tang Li Xue could only silently pray that Xu Yang would not go that far.

After the three of them entered the room, the middle-aged Taoist uncle closed the door tightly and sealed the entire room with his formation.

Xu Yang sat on the tea chair, then spoke to Tang Li Xue: "Sit."

Tang Li Xue sat nervously on the tea chair that faced Xu Yang.

She fidgeted uncomfortably as if she were sitting on the thorny torture chair.

The cold, terrifying pressure emitted by Xu Yang was so strong that it made Tang Li Xue feel small, timid, and guilty.

It was not the pressure that came from his cultivation or strength, but it came from his presence.

When Tang Li Xue glanced at Xu Yang’s cold and handsome face, she secretly admired him and thought that Xu Yang was truly a natural-born emperor.

Cold, charismatic, noble, intelligent, decisive...

Tang Li Xue did not believe that there was someone more suitable to become an emperor than this Xu Yang.

"Speak! Why did you come back here again?" Xu Yang questioned Tang Li Xue with a chilling tone.

Tang Li Xue opened her pink lips with the intention to make up some lies, but her words were stuck in her mouth when she saw Xu Yang’s sharp stare.

Tang Li Xue felt breathless.

Her hunch said Xu Yang could definitely see through it if she tried to tell him any lies.

If that really happened, Xu Yang would completely lose his trust in her, and he might not want to see her anymore.

At that time, it would truly become impossible for her to complete the mission.

After pondering it carefully for a while, Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth and decided to just tell the truth to Xu Yang.

Tang Li Xue lowered her head timidly and murmured softly: "I... was told to persuade you..."

Xu Yang frowned deeply and uttered in a firm tone: "Speak clearly! You want to persuade me to do what?!"

Tang Li Xue closed her eyes and continued to say: "I was told to persuade you to compete for the throne! I was asked to help you become the new emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty."

Xu Yang widened his eyes in surprise.

He did not expect that the Fox Clan wanted him to become the new emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Xu Yang did not immediately trust what Tang Li Xue had told him.

He pinched Tang Li Xue’s soft chin while saying with an indifferent tone: "Open your eyes and look at me."

Tang Li Xue followed what Xu Yang told her to do.

When Xu Yang saw Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes, which were so clear and innocent without any impurities, his heart was beating fast uncontrollably again.

From her eyes, Xu Yang could tell that Tang Li Xue was not lying to him just now.

Xu Yang released Tang Li Xue’s chin and asked again in a colder tone: "Why did the Fox Clan order you to do that? Do you all really think I can become your puppet after I become the emperor of the Great Wei?!"

Xu Yang was increasingly displeased because he thought Fox Clan wanted to use Tang Li Xue to control him, so he would become the puppet emperor with his strings controlled in the Fox Clan’s hands.

Tang Li Xue hastily shook her head and denied it: "No, I don’t... Uhh, I do not know anything about it. I just told to do so, so I can repay..."

Tang Li Xue hastily closed her mouth before she could accidentally blurt out anything about her debt.

But Xu Yang had already heard it clearly, so he interrogated her in a stern tone: "You were told to do so, because of what?!"

Xu Yang held Tang Li Xue’s lower jaw and forced her to stare at him.

The power of his grip was not strong, but Xu Yang’s cold and sharp glare really made Tang Li Xue unable to resist.

In the end, Tang Li Xue helplessly muttered while blushing in embarrassment: "So... So, I can repay my debt. Yes, I know I am a bit too selfish. But I swear that I do everything just to repay my debt. I really have no bad intention toward you."

Xu Yang stared deeply at Tang Li Xue’s alluring topaz blue eyes for a few moments.

He felt relieved after he realized that Tang Li Xue was really telling him the truth.

Xu Yang released his grip, and he spoke to Tang Li Xue with a gentler tone: "I see, so you do it to pay off your debt. Tell me how much you owe? I will help you to pay it off first."

"Really?!" Tang Li Xue excitedly stared at Xu Yang with a pair of glittering topaz blue eyes like a pair of shiny stars.

Xu Yang was still expressionless, but he nodded at Tang Li Xue in agreement.

Then the excited Tang Li Xue wilted again as she muttered in a disappointed tone: "Uhh, I am happy for your intention to help me, but let’s just forget it. My debt... may be a little bit too much for you to pay."

Xu Yang frowned slightly in dissatisfaction as he thought that Tang Li Xue was looking down on him.

"You do not need to worry. My Yama Palace is quite rich. You just need to tell me how much your debt is. I will definitely help you pay for it." Xu Yang confidently said.

Tang Li Xue guiltily lowered her head in guilt and embarrassment while murmuring timidly: "It is eighty..."

"Eighty million Yuan Coins? That is quite a lot. It may take some time to retrieve it from our headquarters." Xu Yang replied in a nonchalant tone.

"Uhh... No, I mean... my debt is eighty... billion credits." Tang Li Xue’s sound became even more inaudible as she did not even dare to raise her head anymore.

Xu Yang: "....."

"Excuse me, how much did you just say?" Xu Yang asked again while raising his tone in disbelief.
