Once any Beast Lord or [Rare] Grade demonic beast evolved into Spirit Beast rank, they would need to pick between two options: stay in their beast form or gain the real human form.
The Fake Spirit Beast rank was referring to the spirit beast who chose to stay in their beast form.
Because the Fake Spirit Beast rank did not have the Spirit Beast Form like the one who chose the second option, their battle prowess was significantly lower than the one who has the Spirit Beast Form.
Of course, even the Fake Spirit Beast rank certainly has much stronger battle prowess than all of them combined!
Tang Li Xue and the others really did not understand why Instructor Mei Lan still had so much confidence and even accepted this emergency mission.
Instructor Mei Lan giggled at Tang Li Xue and the others when she saw their worried and gloomy expressions.
"Why do you have to worry so much? Even if she eloped with a human before, it does not mean she becomes our enemy, right? She is still a fox like us after all. The worst thing she is going to do to you all would only just temporarily knock out all of you for a while." Instructor Mei Lan said as she kept laughing at her students.
Tang Li Xue and the others sighed in relief when they heard Instructor Mei Lan's words.
"But... how can we complete our mission if all of us cannot even defeat her?" Bing Yi asked Instructor Mei Lan with a confused tone.
"You all do not have to worry about how to beat her. The one who will face her later would be me." Instructor Mei Lan replied to Bing Yi without any hesitation, and her tone also really firm.
"There is no way I will lose to a foolish fox who eloped with a human." Instructor Mei Lan said while sneered mockingly.
Instructor Mei Lan's cold sneer sent a chill onto the spine of Tang Li Xue and the others. They immediately took a few steps back in reflex.
"All right! That is it for our briefing this time! We will continue our discussion after we look at the situation there. Let's not waste anymore of our time and make our way to Tang Feng City right now! We already late for almost a week thanks to Little Xue's business!" Instructor Mei Lan said to Tang Li Xue and the others before leading them out of the Death Valley with her [Sonar] ability.
After all of them safely went out from the Death Valley, they took out their respective Wind Riding Bird from their space pouch.
They rode on the back of their Wind Riding Bird and soared on the sky together.
Instructor Mei Lan led them to fly toward the Tang Feng City for several days.
The closer they were to Tang Feng City, the more obstacles they met on their way.
It could not be helped since Tang Feng City was one of the biggest cities in the Lightwind Continent.
While Instructor Mei Lan, Tang Li Xue, and Bing Yi looked like a group of beautiful young ladies on their way home to Tang Feng City with only the young inexperienced bodyguard, Hei Yinghao, escorting them.
There were quite many people attracted by their beauties like some groups of idiotic bandits, reckless brain-dead young masters, perverted slave traders, and so on came to look for trouble with Instructor Mei Lan's group.
At first, Tang Li Xue did not want to kill anyone of them and only wanted to teach them a lesson, but Instructor Mei Lan told Tang Li Xue that those annoying people would call for their reinforcement and kept on coming if she let them live.
In the end, Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao decided to follow Instructor Mei Lan's advice and slain anyone who came looking for trouble with them.
Then just like what Instructor Mei Lan told them, the people who came looking for trouble with them were kept decreasing until they finally managed to reach Tang Feng City several days later.
Under Instructor Mei Lan's instruction, Tang Li Xue and the others brought their Wind Riding Bird to land several miles away from Tang Feng City.
All of them stored back their Wind Riding Bird into their space pouch and walked toward Tang Feng City by foot.
On their way, Instructor Mei Lan suddenly warned Tang Li Xue: "Your fox mask is too conspicuous. It will only make you look suspicious, and it would be bad if you attract the attention of city guards. They will drag you to their camp, and you will probably get interrogated by them. It would be better if you take it off now."
"Eh? Take my mask off now? But... will I attract more attention that way?" Tang Li Xue asked while putting a troubled expression.
Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao kept staring at Tang Li Xue's mask with sparkling eyes. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and eagerness to see Tang Li Xue's face.
Previously, they also wanted to know Tang Li Xue's face so badly, but they were afraid of making Tang Li Xue sad if her face was actually scarred, disfigured, or something like that. That was why they never ask about that to Tang Li Xue.
But right now, Instructor Mei Lan herself asked Tang Li Xue to take off the mask to not make her attract a lot of attention.
So... of course, Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao would not miss this chance to see Tang Li Xue's real face to satisfy their curiosity.
However, Instructor Mei Lan took out something and gave it to Tang Li Xue while saying: "You can put on this veil to cover your face if you do not want the others to see your face."
Tang Li Xue took the veil from Instructor Mei Lan and examined it.
The veil seems to be made from special silk fabric. It was really thin like cicada's wing and almost transparent.
Tang Li Xue really did not understand what was in Instructor Mei Lan's mind since it would not make any difference if she wore this veil or not.
Instructor Mei Lan knew what Tang Li Xue was thinking right now, so she explained: "This veil is called Cloud Covering Veil. If you wore it to cover your face, it would become like the cloud that would make the others unable to see your face."
"Wha... So magical?! Thank you very much, Instructor Lan!" Tang Li Xue happily accepted the veil and dispersed the fox mask on her face since it was made from her [Energy Manipulation] divine ability.
In that instant, her stunningly beautiful face could clearly be seen by everyone there.
Bing Yi, Hei Yinghao, and even Instructor Mei Lan were completely bewitched by her extremely charming appearance.
All of them were dazzled for a few moments until Tang Li Xue covered back her face with the Cloud Covering Veil.
"How do I look right now? Can any of you see my face now?" Tang Li Xue innocently asked them.
Tang Li Xue's sudden question woke them up from their awestruck state.
Hei Yinghao dashed to Tang Li Xue and swiftly held her hands so tightly, then said to her with a very serious expression: "Little... Little Xue! Let's marry right away! Right now! As soon as possible! I will surely make you happ..."
But Bing Yi kicked him away before he could finish his wedding proposal and said: "Get lost! Little Xue is only mine alone! Little Xue, please be with me forever! I will..."
Again, before Bing Yi could finish her words, Hei Yinghao already interrupted her by pushed her away from Tang Li Xue while saying: "Go away! What do you mean to be by with you forever?! Can even you make little cubs with Little Xue?!"
Meanwhile, Yaya puffed her cheek in annoyance when Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao started to fight over Tang Li Xue and thought: 'What do you all mean by marrying and be with you forever?! Mommy Xue always belongs to Yaya alone!'
Then Yaya started to join the fight for Tang Li Xue and shot several of her [High-Pressure Air Bullets] to Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao.
Meanwhile, Little Loki was still lazily lied down on Tang Li Xue's right shoulder. It only glanced at the fight between the three of them and yawned sleepily without any care.
Tang Li Xue blinked again and again in confusion, then glanced at the most reliable among them, Instructor Mei Lan, and asked: "Errr... Instructor Lan, no one can see my face anymore, right? I am afraid my look will bring us a lot more trouble later."
Instructor Mei Lan chuckled at Tang Li Xue and said: "You do not need to worry, no one can see your appearance when you put on that Cloud Covering Veil. Having an appearance that is too beautiful will definitely bring a lot of trouble for you, but it does not mean you will not have any merit by having it."
"In the legend of our Fox Race, there is a very weak fox without any powerful or destructive divine ability, but she has unmatchable beauty like you... No, perhaps she even more beautiful than you." Instructor Mei Lan told Tang Li Xue about the ancient story from Fox Race.
"It was told that with her beauty alone, she ruined many heroes and rulers from the human race. She even managed to seduce many clan heads and emperors from Human Race, then brought them into conflict with each other. She brought ruin to all of those clans and empires without even fighting at all." Instructor Mei Lan concluded her story.
Instructor Mei Lan's story even made Hei Yinghao and Bing Yi stopped fighting and dropped their jaw in awe.
Even Tang Li Xue's expression turned weird right now after she listened to Instructor Mei Lan's story.
'I... do not to seduce any heroes or emperors... I hope Instructor Mei Lan will not make me do that!' Tang Li Xue sincerely prayed in her heart.
Instructor Mei Lan chuckled at her students' stunned expression and warned all of her students with a stern tone: "All right! That is enough! Stop playing around! We will enter Tang Feng City right now! Remember about all of my rules! All of it will apply once we enter Tang Feng City!"
