Chapter 612: City Gate Inspection!


Tang Li Xue sighed in resignation as she activated her [Transfiguration] divine ability and changed into her extremely charming human form.

Tang Li Xue also used her [Energy Manipulation] to create a set of plain white dress to cover her slender ravis.h.i.+ng naked body.

But she still felt it was far from enough since she needed to cover her pair of fox ears on the top of her head and her silver furry tails behind her.


Moreover, she was also still too eye-catching with her silky smooth silver long hair and captivating beautiful face.


So, she created a long white cloak with a hood to cover her silky smooth silver long hair, silver fox ears, and furry tails, while using a white veil to cover her mesmerizing face.


While the invisible Little Loki hid under Tang Li Xue"s hood, so no one could notice it even more.


At first, Tang Li Xue planned to stealthy sneak into the huge human city with her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment], but after pondering it carefully for a while, she finally decided to enter blatantly from the front gate instead.


The reason was that she did not know anything about the human city yet, so even if she entered the human city sneakily, she would only become like a headless chicken.


Since she would certainly need to look around for a lot of information inside that human city in order to obtain some clues about the kidnapped foxes, she would certainly need a legal ident.i.ty.


Of course, the fastest way to obtain a legal ident.i.ty was from the front gatekeeper.


Tang Li Xue agilely jumped down from the tall cliff while using her [Energy Manipulation] to create several footholds, so she could climb down from the cliff very easily like descending the stairs.


Tang Li Xue mingled with the other humans who were currently lined up in front of the city"s gate.


Tang Li Xue clicked her tongue in displeasure when she saw such a long line of people.


It might take her more than a day if she patiently waited for her turn. At that time, those kidnapped foxes might have already been sold to somewhere else.


After observing her surroundings for a few moments, Tang Li Xue concluded that most of these people were merchants and hunters, but around 30% of them were immortal cultivators.


Most of the cultivators were at the Acupuncture Opening Stage, but some of the cultivators had reached the Core Formation Stage.


Since there were already Core Formation Stage cultivators right in front of the city"s gate, Tang Li Xue was quite sure that there might even be Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators guarding inside the city!


Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm her chaotic mood as she thought: "As I thought, this treasure game is really not simple. If I sneaked into the city and took away those kidnapped foxes using force, I might have already turned into a fox barbeque by now."


Then Tang Li Xue continued to think deeply: "The city wall is around fifteen meters tall, and many Spirit Cannons are installed on top of it. There are also strange inscriptions carved on the city wall. With those strange inscriptions, I bet I cannot even use my [Ethereal Form] to pa.s.s through it as easily as usual."


This human city"s defense was the tightest Tang Li Xue had ever seen until now.


After looking around until Tang Li Xue was satisfied, she decided to walk toward the merchant carriage that almost reached the city gate and entered the carriage confidently.


"Hey, what are you..." The rich male merchant inside the carriage shouted in anger, but before he could finish his words.


Tang Li Xue took off her veil revealing her captivating beautiful face to the rich male merchant.


The rich male merchant was instantly stunned silly for a dozen seconds when he saw Tang Li Xue"s extremely charming face.


Tang Li Xue held her urge to punch the drooling rich male merchant and showed her signature charming but seductive smile making the rich male merchant even crazier about her.


"Young master, may I join your escort and enter the city with you? This is my first time coming to this city, so I am really unfamiliar with the procedures. I am worried that I..." Tang Li Xue put on a shy expression and said with a reluctant tone.


The rich male merchant hurriedly nodded his head in delight and replied without any hesitation: "No problem~! Of course, you can~! It is my honor to help such a great beauty like Miss~!"


When the rich male merchant tried to strike conversation with Tang Li Xue, the rich merchant"s carriage finally reached the city"s gate, and the gate guards at the city gate began to check the carriage.


"All of you, get off from the carriage first~! We will inspect your carriage and luggage~!" The gate guards shouted out loud while knocking on the carriage several times.


The driver, the rich merchant, and Tang Li Xue got out of the carriage, then the gate guards started to check inside their carriage and luggage.


Before that Tang Li Xue covered her captivating face with a veil again, so she would not attract the unwanted attention of those gate guards.


"Take out your ident.i.ty doc.u.ment, we will check it now." One of the gate guards told them.


The driver, the escort guards, and the rich merchant obediently took out their ident.i.ty doc.u.ments, but Tang Li Xue did not have it.


One of the gate guards frowned and asked Tang Li Xue suspiciously: "Where is your ident.i.ty doc.u.ment?! Take it out right now!"


The rich merchant immediately helped Tang Li Xue and said to the gate guards with a fawning smile on his face: "Mr. gatekeeper, she is my wife, and this is the first time she come with me to this city. Can you be more lenient to her please?"


The rich merchant secretly handed a few mid-tier spirit stones to the gate guard.


The gate guard hesitated for a while and replied: "I apologize, but this time, I cannot let her pa.s.s. The city has entered third-level alert, and the city lord has already given us direct orders that everyone who entered the city needs to be checked carefully."


"Ah? Third-level alert? Why?" The rich merchant frowned and asked curiously.


The gate guard put away the few mid-tier spirit stones and whispered softly to the rich merchant: "There were already several demon foxes trying to sneak into the city. We failed to catch any of them, but the higher-ups think that there might be some big conspiracy behind it, so they decided to tighten the security."


Tang Li Xue"s pink lips and fox ears twitched slightly when she eavesdropped the news from the gate guard.


"d.a.m.n it~! So, there were already other partic.i.p.ant foxes who tried to sneak into the city before me?! Not only did they fail to sneak into the city, but they even alerted the city"s higher-ups and made them raise their vigilance!" Tang Li Xue complained in her heart.


Just like Tang Li Xue had guessed, the strange inscription engraved on the city wall should be the one that prevents those foxes from sneaking easily into the city.


But those foxes were still quite lucky since they could still run away intact after being discovered by those guards. If those Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who guarding inside the city made their move, all of them might have already been caught by now.


The gate guard patted the rich merchant"s shoulder and comforted him: "Hahaha~! You do not need to worry too much about it~! As long as your wife is not from the beast race, she should certainly be able to go through all the procedures for creating the new ident.i.ty doc.u.ment easily. With my help, it only takes one hour at most."


Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes and thought: "I am sorry, but this "wife" is clearly 100% from the beast race~! Well, except for her soul..."


"Come here, follow me~!" The gate guard called Tang Li Xue to their post.


Tang Li Xue thought carefully about her next move for a few moments, and she called back those gate guards: "Ah, Mr. Gatekeeper~! I remember I actually brought my ident.i.ty doc.u.ment with me~! I put it in under my coat, so I forgot about it before."


Several gate guards stared at Tang Li Xue more suspiciously and one of them asked: "Really? Then show it to us now!"


Tang Li Xue took out nothing, and she immediately activated her [Mystic Whisper].


"All of you have already seen my ident.i.ty doc.u.ment, so let me pa.s.s the gate right now." Tang Li Xue"s [Mystic Whisper] penetrated directly into their consciousness.


The eyes of those gate guards became blank for a few moments, and then they replied to Tang Li Xue: "Ah, you are right. We already approved your ident.i.ty doc.u.ment. You can pa.s.s the gate now. Next one~!"


Those gate guards stopped paying attention to Tang Li Xue, the rich merchant, and their escort group then focused on checking the next person.


Tang Li Xue, the rich merchant, and the driver entered the carriage again.


Tang Li Xue sighed in relief when she saw their carriage pa.s.s the gate and enter the city without any obstruction.


She was really afraid that there was some kind of device to detect the beast race installed on the gate, or that some kind of alarm would be triggered when she used her divine abilities before.


Even after she successfully entered the city, Tang Li Xue did not plan to separate from the rich merchant immediately since she knew nothing about this city at all.
