Chapter 491: Assassination!

.
Tang Li Xue still did not know that a huge problem was secretly approaching her.
Currently, she was still leisurely walking hand in hand with the Seventh in the middle of the small town.
Seventh Princess stepped closer to Tang Li Xue and hugged Tang Li Xue's arm while innocently saying: "Big Sister Xue, you smell so good! I really want to eat Big Sister Xue!"
Seventh Princess sniffed at Tang Li Xue and narrowed her eyes in intoxication as if she was smelling the scent of ultimate delicacy.
Tang Li Xue did not think of it seriously and joked back while laughing merrily: "Then you need to grow up first before you can eat me."
"All right! That is the promise! Seventh will also promise to grow up faster, so Big Sister Xue will not wait for too long!" Seventh Princess replied while jumping around happily.
Tang Li Xue also laughed at Seventh Princess's cuteness and patted her head.
After walking around the small town for a while, Seventh Princess's attention seemed to be captivated by something.
When Tang Li Xue followed Seventh Princess's eyesight, Tang Li Xue found out that she was actually attracted by the candied hawthorn stick sold by a peddler.
Tang Li Xue smiled gently as she pulled Seventh Princess to approach the candied hawthorn stick's peddler.
Tang Li Xue bought two candied hawthorn sticks for Seventh Princess and two for herself.
Sightseeing the beautiful surrounding scenery of the mountains and river from the small town while eating candied hawthorn sticks and chatting happily with Seventh Princess made Tang Li Xue.
The sadness and anxiety from her long journey seem to be washed away right now.
Despite Tang Li Xue's carefree and sloppy attitude, what happened to Beiming Chu and Ye Zhen still made her quite depressed.
Because Tang Li Xue was still in the process of getting used to living in this new world, and she had only lived in two different places for some time until now.
In the Asura Demon Sect, she learned about this world's cruelty and intrigue.
In the Myriad Foxes Academy, she learned the knowledge she needed to survive, the correct way to use her strength, and also found several close friends.
But no matter how much she saw it, she still could not get used to this world's cruelty, especially that scummy baldy uncle, Mo Chonglin!
That scummy baldy uncle was always treating human lives as worthless as wild grass on the roadside.
After all, Tang Li Xue's previous world was quite peaceful. Any murderer would be punished with imprisonment for life or no less than ten years.
However, murder was extremely normal in this world, especially for the powerful such as cultivators.
Although Tang Li Xue had also killed many people in the 2nd trial to enter Myriad Foxes Academy before, but she could not help it since all of them were her mission's target, and she would also feel uncomfortable every time she did it.
'Wait a minute... I am a fox right now. Why should I feel guilty and uncomfortable when I kill humans? Because I am also human in my previous life? Then if I kill any fox in the future, would I also feel guilty and uncomfortable? Or would I only treat it like killing ordinary cattle?' Tang Li Xue suddenly felt confused.
"Big Sister Xue, this restaurant looks good! How about we eat here?" Seventh Princess asked while shaking Tang Li Xue's hand.
Tang Li Xue woke up from her stupor because of Seventh Princess's call.
Unknowingly, she already stood in front of a two-floor luxurious-looking restaurant located at the center of this small town.
"This restaurant looks good. Okay, we will just eat here! Let's go in, Seventh!" Tang Li Xue replied while smiling and nodding her head in satisfaction.
When Tang Li Xue entered the two-floor luxurious-looking restaurant, Tang Li Xue's [Extrasensory Perception] sensed that many people were secretly spying on her.
But Tang Li Xue failed to notice them since she was absent-minded when she walked on the road before.
Tang Li Xue sensed that these people did not have any cultivation. They were clearly only ordinary mortals, Tang Li Xue could quickly guess their identity just from this fact.
'Tsk! These small thugs are really annoying. They do not even know how to give up! It seems I must give them a harsher lesson later or they will keep pestering me!' Tang Li Xue thought while frowning deeply.
Tang Li Xue had decided to break one or two of their limbs later if they dared to bother her or Little Seventh again.
Tang Li Xue did not bother to think about those thugs anymore when she saw a male waiter approach her.
Tang Li Xue immediately reserved a VIP room since she did not want these thugs to keep staring at her while she was eating later.
The waiter took Tang Li Xue and Seventh Princess into the empty VIP room on the second floor.
From this second-floor VIP room, Tang Li Xue and Seventh Princess could see the street and shops in front of the luxurious restaurant from the window.
Tang Li Xue ordered all the signature dishes and the most expensive tea from this luxurious restaurant.
She has a lot of money anyway, so she did not afraid to spend them.
Well... Actually, it was Elder Yang's money to be exact... Tang Li Xue stole... cough, I mean obtained them from Elder Yang's spatial ring...
'Who cares about that, right?! It is in my hands right now, so it is my money!' Tang Li Xue thought smugly.
It did not take long for the several signature dishes and a pot of expensive tea to be delivered to Tang Li Xue's VIP room.
Seventh Princess quickly tasted them one by one while squinted her eyes happily.
Tang Li Xue chuckled when she saw Seventh Princess's blissful expression, and she also took a pair of chopsticks then started to taste the dishes too.
These signature dishes tasted delicious, but they still could not match the dishes from the Myriad Foxes Academy's restaurant.
If Myriad Foxes Academy's restaurant was rated nine out of ten, then Tang Li Xue rated this restaurant six out of ten.
As for the food rated ten out of ten...
Tang Li Xue suddenly remembered Elder Yang's fragrant roasted meat... and subconsciously gulped her saliva.
But she quickly shook her head to clear her mind and muttered: "Tsk, why do I suddenly think about that scumbag playboy?! It must be because I am too hungry! Let's eat, eat, eat!"
The chopsticks in Tang Li Xue's hands moved faster as she kept stuffing food into her mouth.
Seventh Princess smiled wider, and she also stuffed food into Tang Li Xue's mouth.
It only took less than ten minutes for Tang Li Xue and Seventh Princess to clean all the dishes.
Tang Li Xue immediately felt something was not right!
She felt some substance start to corrode her internal organs all of a sudden!
"Damn it! These foods are poisoned!" Tang Li Xue spoke as her expression became cold.
The [Pure Sun Dragon] bloodline in her body was working fast. It immediately activated and burned all traces of fatal poison residue in her blood and internal organs into nothingness!
The [Imperial Moon Fox] bloodline in her body was also activated simultaneously and completely nullified all of the negative effects of that fatal poison from her body almost in an instant.
Tang Li Xue was completely unaffected by the fatal poison.
d| However, Tang Li Xue quickly realized that she did not eat these poisonous foods alone!
Seventh Princess also ate these poisonous foods!
Tang Li Xue started to panic.
She quickly jumped closer to Little Seventh and asked with a trembling voice filled with worry: "Sev... Seventh! The food is poisoned! You...quickly vomit them all out!"
However, Seventh Princess's response was out of Tang Li Xue's expectations.
"Um? The food is poisoned? Really? But I don't feel anything?" Seventh Princess asked cutely while tilting her head in confusion.
Tang Li Xue checked Little Seventh's condition carefully.
After making sure that Little Seventh was completely fine, Tang Li Xue sighed in relief.
Then Tang Li Xue frowned deeply again while muttering in confusion: "That is so strange... I am sure the food is poisoned, but why Little Seventh is completely unaffected?"
Before Tang Li Xue could think for the reason, her [Extrasensory Perception] sensed that something dangerous was coming toward her from the roof!
Tang Li Xue swiftly pushed Little Seventh onto the wall and stood in front of Little Seventh to protect her.
BBAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNGGGG~!!!
Several black-clothed men suddenly broke into Tang Li Xue's VIP Room from the roof.
All of them held sharp sabers, and they swiftly attacked Tang Li Xue in unison.
Tang Li Xue condensed a white sword with her [Energy Manipulation] and held it in her right hand.
Tang Li Xue hastily took circular steps, then swung the white sword in her grasp rapidly.
[Sword Art of Mystic Harmony], Repelling Spins!
BANG~!!! BANG~!!! BANG~!!! BANG~!!! BANG~!!!
Those several black-clothed men took several steps back because of the impact, but Tang Li Xue also took a step back.
Tang Li Xue activated her [All Knowing Eyes (Basic)] to see their information.
[Chang San]
[Description: A veteran assassin with more than 50 years of experience. The high-ranking member of Assassin Tower.]
[Cultivation Level: 3rd Rank of Core Formation Stage]
[HP:145,000/145,000]
The other black-clothed men also had the same information, only their name was different, and their cultivation was ranging between the 3rd to 5th Rank of Core Formation Stage.
'Veteran assassins? High-ranking members of Assassin Tower? What is Assassin Tower? One of the Four Evil Sects?' Tang Li Xue thought while frowning deeply.
