648 Chapter 648: Prepare For Plan B!

Tang Li Xue sighed in relief and nodded gratefully at Wang Shan with a dazzling beautiful smile on her charming face.

Of course, Tang Li Xue did not really believe Wang Shan's words, but at least, she might be able to find a way to pass the Imperial City's Protection Sealing Formation without going to the Imperial Palace from this Wang Shan.

After Tang Li Xue, Little Loki, and Yaya ate until they were full, Wang Shan offered them to stay in his mansion tonight.

Tang Li Xue put on a hesitating expression, but Wang Shan hastily tried to persuade her that he would look at his father to discuss how to escort her out from this Imperial City tomorrow morning.

Tang Li Xue reluctantly agreed to Wang Shan's suggestion. All of them rode the luxurious carriage and headed to Wang Shan's mansion.

On the way, Wang Shan still excitedly tried to strike up a conversation with Tang Li Xue, but Tang Li Xue's mind was too occupied with the gathering appointment with the other foxes, so she only absentmindedly replied to Wang Shan superficially.

'Urgh... Should I still come to that gathering appointment?' Tang Li Xue carefully pondered in her mind.

Tang Li Xue took a deep breath and decided: 'I should come to that gathering appointment...'

Tang Li Xue took a glance at talkative Wang Shan while thinking: 'Well, even though this third son of the Minister of Justice really seems to have a way of letting me pass the Protection Sealing Formation later, but there is nothing wrong if I prepare a Plan B.'

'At least I should go there and try to listen to their plan first. They are my competitors after all. So, getting more information about them would only increase my chance of winning in this treasure game.' Tang Li Xue concluded in her heart.

It did not take long for them to reach Wang Shan's mansion since the mansion's location was still near the center of Imperial City.

Wang Shan's mansion was not only large and luxurious but there were many rare plants and flowers that made it looks beautiful and refreshing.

When they entered the gate, there were many guards, maids, and servants greeting them politely.

This Wang Shan even had dozens of wives and concubines that coquettishly welcomed him.

In normal times, Wang Shan might be very happy with what they were doing. He would play around happily with them and then reward them generously, but right now, he was too busy trying to entertain his favorite Tang Li Xue so how could he bother to look at them?!

Comparing his wives and concubines with Tang Li Xue was like comparing a bunch of rotten wood and a dazzling gem.

Even Wang Shan could not bother to take a glance at them right now, and all of his attention was only on Tang Li Xue.

He annoyedly waved his hands to drive away all his wives and concubines, so they would not disturb his precious time with Tang Li Xue.

Those wives and concubines glared at Tang Li Xue with hatred and jealousy, but they did not dare to say anything in front of Wang Shan, so they could only walk away back to their own courtyard for now.

Tang Li Xue was secretly disgusted by Wang Shan's behavior, but she did not show it on the outside at all and still showed a charming gentle smile on her stunningly beautiful face.

Wang Shan escorted Tang Li Xue to the courtyard on the opposite of his own courtyard, and it was only separated by a few steps.

"Miss Tang, you can stay here for now. If you need some help, do not need to be shy, you can directly ask me. My courtyard is just on the opposite of yours." Wang Shan said to Tang Li Xue.

After a few minutes and Wang Shan was still blabbering nonstop to Tang Li Xue, she finally could not hold on anymore and muttered: "Brother Wang, I am really tired right now. Can I go to sleep?"

Wang Shan blushed in embarrassment and replied: "Oh, I am sorry for my ignorance, Miss Tang. This maid will bring you to your room. If you need anything, you can just ask them to prepare it."

Tang Li Xue nodded and hastily followed the maid while saying: "See you tomorrow morning, Brother Wang~!"

Wang Shan smiled with a silly infatuated expression and replied: "See you tomorrow too, Miss Tang~!"

Even after Tang Li Xue entered her room, Wang Shan's eyes were still glued to the door of her room.

.....

Tang Li Xue sighed in relief after entering the room with Little Loki and Yaya.

Yaya immediately jumped onto the soft bed and playfully bounced again and again on the soft bed.

Meanwhile, Little Loki approached the expensive-looking porcelain vase, it opened its mouth and swallowed the entire vase in one gulp.

Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched violently when she saw what was Little Loki secretly doing.

"Little Loki~!" Tang Li Xue warned Little Loki with her glare.

Little Loki only shrugged its shoulder without care.

It already swallowed several general's weapons in the sixth treasure game before, so no one would care if it swallowed several other items, right?!

As long as it did not use [Heaven's Devour] to swallow everything indiscriminately, no one would suspect it since many other beasts liked to eat everything they saw such as iron-eating beasts, nian beasts, and so on.

Tang Li Xue glanced at the sky outside from the window and found out that the sky was almost dark.

"The lodging near the south gate tonight, huh..." Tang Li Xue murmured.

Tang Li Xue had already secretly judged the strength of the guards in Wang Shan's mansion, and they were far from being comparable to the Imperial Palace's Royal Guards.

It should not be that hard for her to sneak out of this mansion when the sky turned completely dark later.

Well, it was not strange since Wang Shan was only the third son of the Minister of Justice, so how could his guards be compared to the Royal Guards who protect the safety of the Emperor.

The more Tang Li Xue thought about it, the more she suspected that there should be many Nascent Soul Cultivators guarding around the Imperial Palace.

'There is no need to doubt that trying to sneak into Imperial Palace to find the formation core and open the formation should be a really suicidal move...' Tang Li Xue determined in her heart.

Tang Li Xue decided to never do it unless she really had no other choice.

After waiting for a few hours and making sure that Wang Shan was no longer keeping an eye on her, Tang Li Xue called the maids who guards right in front of the door of her room.

When they kneeled in front of Tang Li Xue, she immediately used her [Mystic Whisper] on them: "All of you will guard the door and do not let anyone enter this room until I come back."

Tang Li Xue's words penetrated into those maids' deepest consciousness, and they instantly fell into her control.

"Yes, Miss." Several maids answered obediently with blank looks on their faces.

Several maids went out from Tang Li Xue's room and guarded the room seriously.

But Tang Li Xue felt it was still not enough...

Since she needed Wang Shan's help to get out of this Imperial City very much, she did not want to make Wang Shan suspicious of her.

To be safer, Tang Li Xue decided to leave a [Water Mirage] clone behind in this room and made her act as if she was fast asleep in the bed.

"Let's go~! Yaya, Little Loki~!" Tang Li Xue urged the sleepy Yaya and the lazy Little Loki.

Even though Yaya and Little Loki were looking sleepy and lazy, but she did not plan to leave them in this place.

Despite their sleepiness and laziness, Yaya and Little Loki did not whine and still obediently jumped onto Tang Li Xue's shoulder.

Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] to turn invisible and undetectable, while Yaya and Little Loki also turned on their respective stealth skill to enter the invisible state.

Just like Tang Li Xue had already expected, she easily sneaked out from Wang Shan's mansion without being found by any guards.

But on her way to the gathering place, Tang Li Xue bumped into some trouble.

There were actually so many royal guards spread around the entire imperial city to search for the running away foxes right now!

Some of them even emitted terrifying pressure and kept scanning the Imperial City with their horrifying divine sense to find the running away foxes!

'Damn it~! They even mobilize the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators to look for us~?!' Tang Li Xue exclaimed in her mind.

She hastily turned off her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] before the horrifying divine sense of those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators could scan her.

Tang Li Xue's [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] would not be able to hide her from the divine sense of those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

But she did not really worry since she was currently in her human form and mixed with the crowd of humans in the street, so those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators should not be able to find her right away, but it would be a completely different matter if her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] were still activated.

They would only make her look very suspicious in the eyes of those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators!
