Chapter 769 Chapter 769: Fragility of the Heart!
One night passed without Tang Li Xue realizing it.
When the sun rose and the sunlight passed through the closed window's gaps in her room, Tang Li Xue could only end her practice since she had to go to Instructor Mei Lan's class this morning.
Tang Li Xue did not wake up the sleeping Yaya because she did not plan to bring Yaya to Instructor Mei Lan's class today.
Anyway, there was still her perfect copy that kept diligently practicing the Profound Law of Heat and Cold from [Yin And Yang Chaotic Formula] in the courtyard, so Tang Li Xue did not need to worry that Yaya would throw a tantrum if Yaya did not find her in this room space later.
After taking a quick bath, Tang Li Xue hastily went out of her room, but Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Zhu Yan... or she should be called Princess Yan Fei right now, were already waiting in front of her room.
Who knew that three of them immediately jumped at her at the same time after she opened the door of her room?!
Yan Fei: "Brother Feng~!"
Bingbing: "Little Xue~!"
Silly Fox: "Xue~!"
Tang Li Xue could only helplessly let Bingbing hold her left arm while Princess Yan Fei held her right arm.
As for Silly Fox, both Bingbing and Princess Yan Fei reacted faster than even Tang Li Xue and kicked him away before he could touch Tang Li Xue.
"You perverted Silly Fox~! How dare you want to take advantage of this situation and try to hug my Little Xue!" Bingbing mercilessly scolded Silly Fox coldly.
"All men are really scum~! My Brother Sheng is still a girl right now, so how could you dare to touch her?!" Princess Yan Fei complained in a displeasure tone.
Silly Fox glared at Bingbing and Princess Yan Fei in anger, but his expression changed into an innocent wronged expression when he faced Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue chuckled at the pitiful Silly Fox while thinking strangely: 'Wait a minute... Why the heck has our relationship become so strange like this?'
'In the novels or animes, the only male in the group full of girls would be extremely popular, and all the girls would fight over to get him. Err, let's see... If I am not wrong it should be called harem. Then why is the reality so far from that?' Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched slightly as she could only blame her charm for being too strong compared to Silly Fox.
They did not fool around for too long and immediately headed toward the Education Building as quickly as possible.
They would have to accept Instructor Mei Lan's punishment today, so if they dared to come late, Instructor Mei Lan would definitely multiply their punishment later.
Fortunately, they did not play around too much on their way, so they barely came in time to Instructor Mei Lan's class.
A few breaths after they entered the classroom, Instructor Mei Lan arrived and called them out of the classroom instead.
"Bingbing and Silly Fox, you two can go directly to the training room. You two must complete 50,000 times of training sets or you two will not be allowed to come back home! Princess Yan Fei, can you please keep an eye on them, so they would not dare to slack off?" Instructor Mei Lan said to Bingbing, Silly Fox, and Princess Yan Fei.
"But, Brother Sheng is..." Princess Yan Fei murmured while staring reluctantly at Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue patted Princess Yan Fei and comforted her: "Don't worry. I will come to see you soon later, okay?"
Princess Yan Fei could only follow Bingbing and Silly Fox according to Instructor Mei Lan's instruction, while Tang Li Xue nervously followed Instructor Mei Lan from behind.
Instructor Mei Lan actually led Tang Li Xue out of the Education Building.
Instructor Mei Lan took out a small disc from her space pouch and threw it on the empty ground in front of her.
The small disc suddenly enlarged, then both Instructor Mei Lan and Tang Li Xue rode on the top of it to the remote place of Myriad Foxes Academy.
From the top of the disc-shaped flying treasure, Tang Li Xue saw a cave under the hill.
"That is..." Tang Li Xue asked Instructor Mei Lan in a hesitant tone.
Instructor Mei Lan chuckled while replying to Tang Li Xue in a playful tone: "That is your training ground."
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply as she felt a really bad feeling about this cave.
Instructor Mei Lan made her disc-shaped flying treasure land near the cave before explaining to Tang Li Xue: "This cave is called Heartless Cave. You do not need to worry, there is nothing inside this cave. But what makes it scary is precisely that."
Tang Li Xue's stunning face was completely dumbfounded since she did not understand Instructor Mei Lan's explanation at all.
Instructor Mei Lan did not bother to explain to Tang Li Xue as she took out a rope and tied it to Tang Li Xue's slender waist.
"You can enter Heartless Cave now. Your punishment is only to stay there for 10 hours. It should be easy for you, right?" Instructor Mei Lan said to Tang Li Xue in a teasing tone.
Instructor Mei Lan suspiciously stared at Instructor Mei Lan as she saw a rope tied to her slender waist connected to the rope on Instructor Mei Lan's grasp.
"Err, Instructor Lan... Why does it seem I become a bait for..." Tang Li Xue asked, but before she could finish her words, Instructor Mei Lan already pushed her toward the cave.
"You do not need to ask about it! You will understand it soon enough!" Instructor Mei Lan did not bother to explain to Tang Li Xue again.
Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm down her nervousness as she slowly approached the dark cave step by step.
Normally, her [Night Vision] could see everything in the dark, but this dark cave was extremely strange.
Tang Li Xue could not even see anything from the entrance as if the darkness here was a creature ready to swallow her whole instead.
Tang Li Xue swallowed her saliva as she braved herself and took a step into the dark cave.
After she stepped into the dark cave, she could no longer even see her hands, feet, and body.
Honestly, Tang Li Xue never fell into this situation anymore after she obtained [Night Vision] since she could see everything clearly no matter how dark the environment was.
Fear and horror crept into her heart as she tried to say something to slightly dispel her fear, but she immediately realized that she could not make any sound in this dark cave.
Tang Li Xue tried to clap her hands and stomp her feet, but there was no sound echoed here at all.
Then Tang Li Xue urged her deep blue Flame of Pride to illuminate her surroundings.
Who knew that she actually failed to lit her Flame of Pride here?!
No... To be exact, Tang Li Xue did not even know if she could not use her Flame of Pride here or if she already used it but her Flame of Pride failed to illuminate her surroundings!
Tang Li Xue stretched her hands to grope the cave wall, but after a long time, she still failed to touch anything.
When Tang Li Xue wanted to clasp her own hands, she actually could no longer touch anything!
In fright and panic, Tang Li Xue tried to use all of her divine abilities, but since she could no longer see, hear, or sense anything, she did not know if she successfully used any of her divine abilities or not.
Tang Li Xue immediately planned to give up, so she turned around and ran back, but no matter how long or fast she ran, she failed to get out of the dark cave!
It was as if she was inside the boundless expanse of darkness, and she was completely trapped inside it.
After she reincarnated into this world and obtained her System, she never felt so helpless as now.
It was like she had come back to her previous helpless self...
Her sickly weak self that was trapped inside the dark hospital alone at night.
She was truly scared right now...
She did not want to die alone in this darkness...
Just when Tang Li Xue almost lost herself, a bright sunlight suddenly shone on her face.
It was actually Instructor Mei Lan who pulled her out from the dark cave using the rope tied to her waist!
"Look at your embarrassing appearance~! And you only enter that dark cave for less than ten minutes!" Instructor Mei Lan sneered and mocked Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue's beautiful face was already filled with tears and snot at this time.
After she wiped her face with her sleeve, she quickly begged Instructor Mei Lan: "Instructor Lan, please do not let me enter this terrifying cave again~! I... I am willing to accept 10 times heavier punishment than Bingbing and Silly Fox!"
Instructor Mei Lan shook her head in disappointment as she explained to Tang Li Xue: "Did you know that this Heartless Cave actually tests how firm your heart is when facing something you fear the most? Little Xue, you cannot even hold for more than ten minutes, and it just shows how fragile your heart is."
Instructor Mei Lan actually did not want to bring Tang Li Xue to this heart test too early, but she changed her decision after the Garden City incident.
