Reincarnated As A Fox With System

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Missing Goods!

After Tang Li Xue heard what the female beast had said, she could almost guess what had happened.

That female beast in human form somehow incited the pirates to attack this Desert Patrol Ship.

She planned to let the pirates and the desert patrol guards kill each other until this entire Desert Patrol Ship was destroyed to get rid of the evidence after she stole something important from this ship.

Unfortunately for her, Tang Li Xue, who had come out of nowhere, suddenly ruined her plan and saved the entire Desert Patrol Ship in the end.

"Meeoow?" Little Loki jumped and sat leisurely on Tang Li Xue’s shoulder while asking her something.

"Oh? You can track that female beast using her body scent?!" Tang Li Xue pinched her smooth chin and smiled gleefully.

But after pondering carefully for a while, Tang Li Xue shook her head in the end and said: "Forget it. There is no need for us to chase after that crazy woman. This matter is actually not our business."

Based on the female beast’s body scent, Little Loki also told Tang Li Xue that the female beast should be from the Snake Clan.

"I see, so she is from the Snake Clan. No wonder she is so hostile to me, even though I am also from the Beast Race." Tang Li Xue sneered in amusement.

Instructor Mei Lan had explained a lot of basic knowledge about their Beast Race in her classes before.

One of them was actually about the Snake Clan.

Not all beast clans in the Beast Race have good relationships with each other.

Of course, they were only at the point of not getting along well with each other.

Their conflict had never reached the point of irreconcilability, or to the point of stabbing each other in the back and killing each other, like the Human Race.

Yes, the Snake Clan did not get along well with the Fox Clan.

The main reason for their conflict was because both the Snake Clan and the Fox Clan actually had almost the same role in the Beast Race.

The role of both of them in the Beast Race was to gather all important information from the Human Race and Undead Race.

But in the end, the Snake Clan gradually lost to the Fox Clan, and the current Beast Race was relying mostly on the information provided by the Fox Clan.

According to Instructor Mei Lan, the Snake Clan’s defeat was actually inevitable.

Even though both the Fox Clan and the Snake Clan could turn into human form before reaching Spirit Beast level through their own respective special means, but there were still huge differences between them.

Their Fox Clan looked cute, charming, attractive, and beautiful after they transformed into human form, which made it easier for them to seduce and get close to their targets.

Meanwhile, the Snake Clan looked cold, pale, thin, and sinister after they transformed into human form, which made it hard for them to get close and gain trust from their targets.

Well, it was pretty obvious who most people would choose between the fox girl and the snake girl.

Of course, it would be a completely different story if the snake girl were a certain sexy snake queen in a certain novel.

Both the Fox Clan and the Snake Clan have their own unique ways to obtain information.

If the Fox Clan usually used seduction, the Snake Clan usually used their poison.

By using their poison, the Snake Clan could threaten, torture, and control their targets.

Their method was so cruel and sinister compared to the Fox Clan, which made even the other Beast Clans dare not carelessly have close contact with the Snake Clan.

Something like poisoning the innocent human children to make their parents obey their every command was a very common tactic for the Snake Clan.

Currently, the Snake Clan was mostly doing dirty jobs behind the scenes.

’I see... If it were in H*gwards, my Fox Clan would be like R*venclaw, while Snake Clan would be like Slyth*rin.’ Tang Li Xue imagined gleefully.

Tang Li Xue woke up from her deep thought after all the armored Desert Patrol Guards regained their consciousness.

"This is... What has happened? You are... Who are you?" Some Desert Patrol Guards asked in confusion.

Tang Li Xue smiled at them and explained with a mixed half-lie: "My name is Tang Wulin. I was invited to board this ship this noon."

"When these pirates attacked the ship, the guard captain promised that I would be rewarded handsomely if I helped you all defeat these pirates."

"How could I refuse to help after you allowed me to enter and stay on this ship, so I made my move and knocked out all of these pirates before they could blow up this entire ship." Tang Li Xue pointed her finger at the fainted black-clothed pirates.

Tang Li Xue decided not to tell anything about the annoying female snake.

Both of them were from the Beast Race after all, so even though Tang Li Xue did not like that female snake, she still had to at least keep everything related to the Beast Race a secret.

"Oh, thank you very much, Miss Tang, for your help! You have saved all of our lives!" Desert Patrol Guards gratefully thanked Tang Li Xue one by one enthusiastically until Tang Li Xue felt embarrassed.

After excitedly thanking Tang Li Xue, the Desert Patrol Guards hastily tied the unconscious black-clothed pirates and sealed their cultivation with somekind of strange tool, like handcuffs.

When Tang Li Xue impatiently waited for her rewards to be paid...

Several Desert Patrol Guards ran onto the bridge in panic and shouted: "Not good! Duke Yan’s granddaughter is missing!"

"What?! How could it be?! Hasn’t she been put in the safe protection room before?" The Desert Patrol Ship’s helmsman exclaimed in surprise and panic.

"It is over... We will be punished heavily or even executed once Duke Yan knows about this!" The other Desert Patrol Guard muttered in despair.

All the Desert Patrol Guards were thrown into chaos and panic because Duke Yan’s granddaughter had disappeared.

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply after she heard their conversation.

’So, the goods that the despicable snake woman had mentioned are actually Duke Yan’s granddaughter?’ Tang Li Xue silently concluded in her mind.

Even though this was no longer Tang Li Xue’s business, but she still felt uncomfortable after she learned that someone from their Beast Clan actually kidnapped a child.

Not to mention that, based on what Instructor Mei Lan had said about the Snake Clan, the fate of that child would definitely be very miserable!

Tang Li Xue shook her head and whispered to herself: ’Yes, this is no longer my business... I should not get myself involved in this matter. Once I get my rewards, I will continue on my journey and reach the Central Continent as soon as possible.’

Tang Li Xue sat on the seat at the corner of the room, closed her eyes, and stopped thinking about it.

Right at this time, the Desert Patrol Guard Captain finally came to the bridge.

"Where is the young lady who has helped us to defeat the pirates?" The Patrol Guard Captain asked the other patrol guards.

"Eh? Wasn’t she sitting there before?" The patrol guards replied, but they could no longer find Tang Li Xue inside the bridge.

.....

.

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue was currently riding on Lucia’s back as they were flying out of the Desert Patrol Ship at lightning speed!

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! I never knew that I was actually such a busybody until now!" Tang Li Xue angrily cursed herself.

Tang Li Xue really did not want to admit it, but her conscience truly could not bear to let that vicious female snake do anything cruel to a little girl.

Tang Li Xue and Lucia were chasing after the female snake by relying on Little Loki’s extraordinary sense of smell.

Tang Li Xue’s sense of smell was actually also extremely sharp, thanks to [Extrasensory Perception] divine ability, but it could not be compared to Little Loki’s extraordinary sense of smell at all.

Tang Li Xue did not know how Little Loki’s sense of smell worked, but it could actually smell everything that she could not smell, such as the smell of danger, the smell of treasures, and so on.

For example, like now, Tang Li Xue could not smell any scent from the female snake’s body, but Little Loki could actually track her down based on her body scent.

"I should have just secretly placed a Wind Mark on her, so we could track her much more easily right now." Tang Li Xue muttered in a regretful tone.

By the way, Tang Li Xue had left a Wind Mark on the Desert Patrol Ship before, so if she could find that female snake and that... whatever duke’s granddaughter, then she could bring the child back to the ship later.

After Lucia was flying for some time from the Desert Patrol Ship, she actually landed on the sand dune under Little Loki’s guidance.

"You mean that female snake burrowed into this sand dune?" Tang Li Xue asked sceptically.

Then Tang Li Xue remembered that the sand snake should be able to burrow deeply into the sand.

If that really happened, then they could no longer chase that female snake.

"No, wait a second... It should be impossible for her to burrow deeply into the sand because she brought the child with her." Tang Li Xue quickly concluded.

Even though the female snake could temporarily put the unconscious child into a medium-rank space pouch, which could be used to store living creatures, but once she burrowed deep into the sand, there was a high chance that the child would die because of the lack of oxygen... Well, maybe.

Since the female snake spent so much effort to kidnap the child, it should be impossible for her to let the child die just like that.

Of course, that was just a random theory that Tang Li Xue had thought, and she might be wrong.

Tang Li Xue, Lucia, Yaya, and Little Loki dug the sand dune for a few minutes.

"Bingo~!" Tang Li Xue smiled as they found a hidden tunnel under the sand dune.
