Chapter 348 Unexpected Turn of Events!

Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao were taken aback when Instructor Mei Lan mentioned Crown Prince Feng was their biggest threat for them right now.

"Why? I mean... I can feel his hostility and greed when that Crown Prince Feng stared at me before, but I still really do not get it why." Tang Li Xue asked while frowned and pursed her pink lips cutely.

Instructor Mei Lan glanced at Tang Li Xue in amazement and said: "So, you can even feel that now? Not bad! It seems you have really started to grow up. Although, your growth is still far from enough, so you better work harder from now on to make up for it."

Tang Li Xue blushed a bit when she got praised by Instructor Mei Lan. She nodded to Instructor Mei Lan and said: "I will give my best effort to work harder."

Even though Instructor Mei Lan said so to motivate Tang Li Xue, but she was actually quite impressed by the speed of Tang Li Xue's progress.

Tang Li Xue had not even entered Myriad Foxes Academy for one year after all, but her growth was surely the most conspicuous amongst her peer.

"That Crown Prince Feng is a really tricky person and a very hard person to deal with. He is still young, smart, patient, knows how to stay low profile, always looks humble and refined in front of others. But he is actually an ambitious and greedy person." Instructor Mei Lan told all of her students about her deduction of Crown Prince Feng's true nature.

Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched a bit in shock when she heard Instructor Me Lan explained about Crown Prince Feng and muttered in her heart: 'We... only see Crown Prince Feng once today, right?! He did not even do anything to draw anyone's attention at all today, right? Then how the hell Instructor Lan can conclude so many things about Crown Prince Feng's character? Sigh... Instructor Lan is really a monster!'

Instructor Mei Lan glanced at Tang Li Xue and said: "If I am not wrong, Crown Prince Feng's target should be you, Little Xue, so you must be really careful from now on."

"Eh? Why?! The one I kicked today is not even him." Tang Li Xue felt shocked, and she asked Instructor Mei Lan with a disbelief tone.

Instructor Mei Lan cleared her throat and began to explain Crown Prince Feng's motive for targeting Tang Li Xue one by one: "Just like I said before, he is a greedy and ambitious person. He probably will target you sooner or later because he managed to find many valuable things on you."

"First, he noticed your deep blue flame as the high-ranking flame. He may even have some methods to forcefully extract it out from you and re-refine it to make your flame belongs to him."

"Second, he also noticed your little companion, Yaya. She may hide in your hood before, but Crown Prince Feng managed to saw her for a moment when you bounced backward after kicking Elder Yang's blood shield."

"He probably wants to tame your little companion after killing you. Even if she could not be tamed, Crown Prince Feng could still use her as the main ingredient to concoct a pill called Wind Taming Pill. If Crown Prince Feng consumed that pill, he can get a tenth wind elemental power of your companion."

Instructor Mei Lan wanted to continue her explanation, but the sleepy Yaya peeked out from Tang Li Xue's hood when she heard her name was called, but she immediately raged out after she heard Instructor Mei Lan's words.

"Ya~?! Yayaya!!!" Yaya babbled in anger. Even her face turned pink because of her intense fury, but she looked much cuter instead of menacing.

Tang Li Xue patted Yaya's tiny head for a few moments to calm Yaya down.

Meanwhile, Little Loki still lazily asleep undisturbed on Tang Li Xue's right shoulder as always. It looked really did not care at all about the Crown Prince this or the Serial Killer that.

Instructor Mei Lan giggled at Yaya's cuteness, but she quickly returned to her solemn expression and continue her explanation.

"Third, he also wants to get your ring necklace to please Elder Yang. See? He could get three birds in one stone if she managed to catch you. So, why not?" Instructor Mei Lan chuckled as she glanced playfully at Tang Li Xue.

But Instructor Mei Lan actually did not feel nervous at all, since they already managed to get under Elder Yang's protection for now.

At least it will make Crown Prince Feng did not dare to target them openly. He can only do it secretly behind Elder Yang's back.

Moreover, Crown Prince Feng did not even have that many powerful cultivators under him.

Completely different from Elder Yang which has so many powerful cultivators from the Immortal Sword Sect that kept protecting him secretly from behind.

With her [Ethereal Form], Tang Li Xue could probably escape or hide from the pursuit of Crown Prince Feng's men quite easily.

"Th... then... Instructor Lan, what should I do now? Wait a minute... Aren't we still Elder Yang's guests right now? Doesn't it mean he would never dare to touch us as long as Elder Yang still with us?" Tang Li Xue felt nervous at first, but her topaz blue eyes quickly brightened when she remembered that Elder Yang was still on their side, at least for now.

Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes at Tang Li Xue's statement and lazily replied: "You are really too naive. Do you really plan to stick with Elder Yang all the time? Do you forget about the serial murder? Crown Prince Feng can easily use that as his excuse. He can secretly catch you when you are alone, take all of your possessions, and dump your dead body anywhere, then said that you are just another victim of the Serial Killer."

Tang Li Xue grimaced in annoyance and asked Instructor Mei Lan again: "Then, what should I do, Instructor Lan? Should I just hide here, inside Elder Yang's palace, for now?"

Instructor Mei Lan chuckled softly and just when she wanted to divide the tasks to her three students, she finally realized that Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao was already overslept on their seat.

Instructor Mei Lan kicked the two of them in anger until they fell from their chairs.

"Enemies attack?! You cowards, how dare you attacked me when I am still sleeping?!" Hei Yinghao quickly stood up and shouted in anger.

"What?! Really?! Where are the enemies?!" Even Bing Yi believed Hei Yinghao's speech and swiftly increased her vigilance to the maximum.

Only after a few moments they finally realized that Instructor Mei Lan was the one who kicked them until they fell from their seats.

"What? You two want to beat me up because I wake you up from your sweet dream?!" Instructor Mei Lan raised her eyebrow and asked in a leisure tone, but the pressure emitted out from her body was really terrifying.

"I... I am sorry, Instructor Lan." Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao lowered their head and apologized to Instructor Mei Lan in unison.

"You two really think..." Instructor Mei Lan wanted to scold Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao harshly for ten minutes or so, but she halted her words when she heard the drizzling sound coming from outside their room.

Instructor Mei Lan suddenly walked toward the door and opened it to look at the rain that already started pouring down.

RUMBLE… RUMBLE… RUMBLE…

The sound of thunder started rumbling from the distance as the lightning flashed brightly on the sky.

"What an ominous day... It seems something bad might happen again tonight." Instructor Mei Lan murmured as she frowned deeply.

Hei Yinghao wanted to laugh out loud after he heard Instructor Mei Lan's poetic words, but he quickly muffled it because he did not want to get scolded more by Instructor Mei Lan.

Bing Yi did not laugh at Instructor Mei Lan, but she muttered softly to Instructor Mei Lan: "It is only heavy rain. Our Little Xue can easily make heavy rain anytime she wants with her ability."

Instructor Mei Lan smiled while shook her head in her students' naivete.

"Every elemental have their own advantage, so all of you better not looking down on it. Just like this thunderstorm... This weather is actually created from the combination of water, wind, and lightning elementals." Instructor Mei Lan started to explain to her three students.

"Under this thunderstorm, any kind of detection-type ability cannot work well. Even my [Sonar] ability will be greatly restricted by this thunderstorm. While anyone with stealth-type ability can ambush their opponents much easier in this kind of weather, so all of you must be really careful when you are facing this kind of weather in the wilderness." Instructor Mei Lan warned her three students with a stern tone.

After listened to Instructor Mei Lan's explanation, Tang Li Xue tried to extending her [Extrasensory Perception] divine ability to sense everything outside the room, but her [Extrasensory Perception] immediately became fuzzy under the thunderstorm.

Tang Li Xue understood in an instant from that. The thunderstorm in Immortal World and the thunderstorm in her previous world were different.

In her previous world, there was no spiritual energy there, so the people there have much weaker bodies than in this Immortal World, but they created the technology to make up for that.

On the contrary to her previous world, there was really abundant spiritual energy here, and it made all the people and beasts here can cultivate. They could become unlimitedly stronger until they reached God-level.

Not only that, even the elemental such as Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning could gain consciousness and become the spirit, then cultivate just like the other living being!

But the natural disasters in this Immortal World were also much fiercer and dangerous than her previous world. Maybe it was also affected by the abundant spiritual energy and became much more terrifying too.

"For your safety, all of you will sleep here tonight. I know that all of you are already tired today. You all can sleep now." Instructor Mei Lan said to all of her students.

"Eh? What about our task for tomorrow?" Tang Li Xue widened her eyes in surprise and asked.

Instructor Mei Lan frowned and thought for a while before replied: "We will think about it tomorrow. Go sleep now… Starting from tomorrow, we will probably become very busy for a few days, so all of you better use this precious time to get some proper sleep. You can sleep on my bed, I will sleep on the sofa."

Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao nodded to Instructor Mei Lan.

Tang Li Xue and Bing Yi jumped happily onto the bed to sleep.

Hei Yinghao quickly followed them from behind to sleep beside Tang Li Xue, but he got kicked by Bing Yi and Tang Li Xue.

In the end, Hei Yinghao could only sit in the corner of the room and sleep on the floor there with a wronged pitiful expression.

It did not take long for Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, Yaya, and Little Loki to fell asleep so comfortably on the bed.

Hei Yinghao felt really disappointed and wronged, but he also fell asleep in only a few minutes.

Instructor Mei Lan also closed her eyes on the sofa, but she did not actually sleep since she needs to guard her students' safety tonight.

…..

…

.

RUMBLE… RUMBLE… RUMBLE…

It was already midnight and almost everyone already fell asleep at this time.

The heavy rain poured down heavier and heavier as the time passed.

The thunder kept rumbling out loud, while lightning kept flashing non-stop in the sky.

In a certain room of the Imperial Palace, a person with a black cloak was holding a human head while the body was on the ground.

The human head was actually the Crown Prince Feng!

Just like what Instructor Mei Lan had predicted, tonight's incident would certainly become the night where the peace of the entire Tang Feng City got shattered.
