The white crystal cocoon stopped shrinking after it reached 2 meters tall. The color of the white crystal cocoon also slowly turned grey.
Crack... Crack... Crack... BAAAAANGGGG~~!!!
Finally, the countless cracks started to spread on the grey cocoon's surface, and it shattered to dust revealing a figure enveloped by a dim silvery-white light inside it.
Tang Li Xue slowly opened her eyes.
Her right eye was shining with golden light, while her left eye was shining with silver-white light.
Both of them shone brightly from the deepest part of her topaz blue eyes made them look really mesmerizing and imposing at the same time.
However, the golden and silver light slowly faded away as her eyes returned to normal.
Tang Li Xue used her [Energy Manipulation] to create a mirror in front of her, and the silver light condensed in front of her formed a round mirror in an instant.
Tang Li Xue used that silver mirror to immediately inspected her new look excitedly.
Her fox form has grown up bigger from the cat-sized before to the Siberian Husky-sized now.
Her soft and smooth fur was also shining brighter with silvery light under the moonlight now.
There were also three fox tails currently fluttering behind her. Two tails were silver-colored just like her fur and the last one looked as if it condensed from the golden-colored flame.
'Eh... wait a minute... Don't all the [Uncommon] grade foxes only have two tails?! Then how the hell can I have three tails now?!' Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes widened in surprise.
'Don't tell me that I have skipped one grade and went straight to [Rare] grade?! Muehehehe... Let's check it!' Tang Li Xue grinned in a silly manner and opened her system window.
But before she had enough time to peek at her current status window...
"MY FAVORITE COURTYARD! MY RARE AND PRECIOUS BEAUTIFUL PLANTS AND FLOWERS! OH NO, NO, NO, NO... PLEASE DON'T TELL ME... EVEN MY NINE COLORED GOLD FISHES TOO?! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!" A deafening shouting voice rang out from above Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue almost passed out from the pressure exuded from the deafening shouting voice, because she was in her weakest condition right now.
She was not only exhausted with all of her stamina expended but also many of her internal organs were still injured severely. Although, she was recovering rapidly under her [Regeneration] skill right now, but she was far from being fully recovered now.
Moreover, the person that came just now was actually a high-level spirit beast rank fox.
With her current sharp sense after evolution, Tang Li Xue could easily sense the faint terrifying pressure hidden inside this handsome black-haired man.
The black-haired man's handsome face turned pale like a piece of white paper, and he even grabbed his hair in frustration and despair with both of his hands. His pair of obsidian black eyes turned bloodshot, and he looked so awfully terrifying right now.
Tang Li Xue really regretted it so badly that she did not use her [Ethereal Form] earlier to sneak away from this place as soon as she can. Unfortunately, it was already too late for her.
It was certainly impossible for her to escape from this kind of old monster right now, so she would rather choose to apologize than got killed on the spot by this monster later.
Unfortunately, before Tang Li Xue could say anything, the black-haired man already stared at her full of fury and shouted right in front of her face in anger: "Who the hell are you?! Where are you coming from?! Do you know this is the restricted area in the education district?! I don't care about who you are but you must compensate me for everything even if you must sell your body and beast core! Do you hear me?! EVERYTHING!"
Tang Li Xue's mouth twitched violently as the cold sweat poured out from her forehead.
It only took her a single glance to assess that this entire beautiful heavenly courtyard before was full of precious rare flowers and plants. Especially that rainbow-colored fished in the pond!
She would probably never be able to compensate for everything even if she sold her body and beast core.
'Oh wait a minute! I have the [Awakening Stone]! It should be enough to compensate for everything! But it already assimilated with my mind, and it currently resided inside my sea of consciousness so I cannot take it out anymore... Tsk...' Tang Li Xue's mind spun faster tried to think a solution to solve her current problem.
'Oh yeah, I also have the [Sun Dragon King's Pearl]! But it already assimilated with my dantian right now, and I also cannot take it out anymore...' Tang Li Xue almost coughed out a mouthful of blood when she remembered almost all of her precious items already bound to her including her system and all of the items from it.
Fortunately, her savior came at the right time to save the damsel in distress.
A slender beautiful figure descended from the starry night skies while bringing a silver fox dead body in her arms.
Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes shone brighter when she saw this slender beautiful woman.
"Instructor Lan! Please help me! I... I swore I really did not do this on purpose!" Tang Li Xue ran toward the beautiful black-haired woman with teary eyes.
"Who are you? Wait... this voice is... Little Xue?! Are you really Little Xue?!" Instructor Mei Lan's body shook violently, and she dropped the dead body in her arms onto the ground in shock and disbelief.
Tang Li Xue looked at the fox dead body on the ground and shocked silly by it too since this was the first time Tang Li Xue saw the fake corpse created by her [Substitute Doll].
Instructor Mei Lan looked at Tang Li Xue skeptically and her suspicion has grown a lot stronger when she saw Tang Li Xue's shocked expression.
Moreover, Tang Li Xue's current form was a bit different from the previous Tang Li Xue. Not only her current fox form was a bit bigger but she also looked more elegant and heroic than before.
"Yes! Instructor Lan, I am the true original Tang Li Xue! This corpse is the fake one I created so I can pass the tribulation safely before! That's why I got teleported randomly in the end and accidentally landed here! This... This is all really an accident!" Tang Li Xue tried to explain everything to Instructor Mei Lan in panic.
Tang Li Xue took out the dilapidated book contained the [Art of Concealment] from her space pouch and show it to Instructor Mei Lan: "Look this is your first gift for me after I successfully passed the second trial and decided to join your Instructor Class before!"
Instructor Mei Lan's obsidian black eyes shone brighter when she saw the dilapidated book in Tang Li Xue's paws but she still needs to confirm it for one last time to be more sure: "Try to use your stealth-type divine ability! I want to see it!"
Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and her furry body completely vanished into thin air.
The moment after Tang Li Xue's body turned transparent, Instructor Mei Lan threw a fast powerful jab to where Tang Li Xue stood before.
Instructor Mei Lan's jab was too fast that it looked as if her fist has vanished and it was impossible for the current exhausted Tang Li Xue to dodge it, but Instructor Mei Lan's fist passed through her transparent body harmlessly.
After tested Tang Li Xue's divine ability, Instructor Mei Lan started to smile gently like always as her heart feel relieved from her previous guilty.
Instructor Mei Lan embraced Tang Li Xue's furry body after she canceled her [Ethereal Form] and appeared again.
"Welcome back... Little Xue." Instructor Mei Lan whispered gently to Tang Li Xue.
"Lan'er, you... you know her?" The black-haired man dropped his jaw in shock when he saw the heartwarming scene in front of his eyes and asked in bewilderment.
The handsome black-haired man, the owner of this courtyard was actually Instructor Mei Lan's father, Education Councillor Junjie!
"But... But I don't care! She still must compensate me back for everything even if you know her! Do you know how much I spent to make this heavenly courtyard? I almost went bankrupt to build this heavenly courtyard before! And you... you dare to destroy everything!" Councillor Junjie shouted once again in anger after he remembered his previous beloved courtyard where he always tended every plant, flower, and fish carefully like raising his own child before.
He already put the restricted area warning here to prevent any foxes from accidentally entered here. He even installed the invisible barrier to made this courtyard invisible from the outside, and he also installed the space barrier to made it impossible for any outsider to step their foot into here.
He did not know what this imp did before to pass all of those barriers but she still managed to sneak into here despite all of those barriers and even destroyed it completely without leaving any stalk of grass behind!
If Councillor Junjie was not a healthy strong high-level spirit beast but a weak old man instead, he would probably have an acute heart attack by now and died on the spot.
"Oh, shut up old man! Is there any need for you to be so angry?! This is just a single courtyard! Just pick another courtyard for you to live! I also remember that mother almost divorced you several times because of this damned courtyard! It's good for this courtyard to be destroyed for my student's evolution! At least this courtyard still has some purposes!" Instructor Mei Lan viciously scolded Councillor Junjie back.
"Lan'er... You... You... I never think that you will..." Councillor Junjie was breathing heavily, while pointed his trembling index finger at Instructor Mei Lan with a wronged expression.
"You what?! I will tell mother that you still secretly build this heavenly courtyard behind her back despite her stern warning to divorcing you before! I want to know what mother will do next after she knew about this!" Instructor Mei Lan grinned mischievously at Councillor Junjie.
Councillor Junjie coughed violently, when he heard Instructor Mei Lan's threatening words.
While Tang Li Xue dropped her jaw in shock. Even her brain felt like it was just short-circuited and made her could not process the meaning of Instructor Mei Lan's words.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand it at all! Which courtyard? Where? I don't see any courtyard here! Sigh... it looks like my mind has been clouded by illusion before! That damn Zi Hua, how dare she used such a powerful bewilderment talisman on me! Lan'er, I will go home now, and don't forget to return home earlier tonight!" Councillor Junjie said with a firm tone full of righteous aura.
There was no longer any trace of anger or frustration on his face as if everything was really only an illusion before.
Councillor Junjie flew away as fast as he could after he said all of those lame excuses. His speed was so swift that Tang Li Xue only saw him completely vanished from where he stood before.
Tang Li Xue was blinking and blinking her topaz blue eyes again in a dumbfounded manner.
She did not know what this black-haired man connection with her Instructor Mei Lan but they sure looked pretty close with each other.
"Let's go! You must be really exhausted right now. I will escort you back to residential building." Instructor Mei Lan smiled gently to Tang Li Xue and took out a hovering disc from her space pouch.
The palm-sized hovering disc enlarged when Instructor Mei Lan threw it onto the ground.
Instructor Mei Lan pulled Tang Li Xue, and both of them rode on the hovering disc. The hovering disc soared onto the starry night skies and brought them to the residential building.
It only took them a few minutes for them to reach the residential building with this hovering disc's speed.
Tang Li Xue jumped down from the hovering disc and bid her farewell to Instructor Mei Lan before coming back to her room.
Tang Li Xue entered her bedroom, and she checked the other current condition curiously.
Yaya was completely exhausted after finished her evolution, so she already fell asleep in the system storage.
Deep Blue Flame Phoenix was also the same. It fell asleep in exhaustion inside her dantian but the [Sun Dragon King's Pearl] kept nourishing its deep blue flame body continuously and kept making it stronger bit by bit.
Tang Li Xue's martial soul also in deep sleep right now, and she could not summon it out to check its current form.
Tang Li Xue lied down on her soft bed and m.o.a.ned loudly because of how comfortable it was.
She opened her status window to check her new stats and her new divine ability but her eyelid grew too heavy for her to see anything, and she accidentally fell asleep too before she could take a peek on her status window in her system.
