Reincarnated As A Fox With System (WN)

"Eh? Must we really bow our back to them?" Tang Li Xue asked Instructor Mei Lan with a strange tone.

Tang Li Xue always thought that Beast Race was looking down on Human Race and would never bow down to them, but it seems she was wrong.

Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes and lazily replied with her [Telepathy] skill: "Why not? It is not like we let them brand the master-servant contract into our souls. Everything is all right as long as it does not bring any harm to us."

"Even if they tell us to kneel and kowtow in front of them?" Tang Li Xue asked again with an even weirder expression.

Instructor Mei Lan glanced at Tang Li Xue as if she was looking at an idiot and replied again with her [Telepathy] skill: "So what?! Kneel? Aren't we foxes always walking with our four limbs in our true form?! What is the difference between that and kneeling?! Kowtow? Aren't we foxes always sleeping in that position when we are in our true form?! Little Xue, we might be in the human form right now, but it does not mean we will need to follow their every logic and way of thinking."

"All of you must always remember that we are Fox Race disguising in human form. We can learn all the customs, ethics, logic, ways of thinking, and so on from humans. But all of those are only to make us 'act' more naturally as a human, so we can carry out our mission a lot easier in the human world! It is not to make us become a human!" Instructor Mei Lan warned all of her students sternly with her [Telepathy] skill.

Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao nodded their heads in understanding, while Tang Li Xue was stunned silly for a few moments before nodded her head too.

Now she finally understood the reason for it after she heard Instructor Mei Lan's words.

For Beast Race, their knowledge about humans was only their weapon to infiltrate human society and gain more access to information and resources from Human Race.

These 'kneel' and 'kowtow' were the perfect example for that.

If any humans were ordered to 'kneel' and 'kowtow', they would think of it as humiliation, or it could also be their way to show their submission to their superior.

For any proud or arrogant humans, they would probably choose death rather than 'kneel' and 'kowtow' in front of others.

For the Beast Race, 'kneel' and 'kowtow' were simply their usual act of walking and sleeping. They would not feel humiliated even if they were 'kneel' and 'kowtow' in front of all the humans.

Just from this, we can see that Beast Race and Human Race were completely different in so many ways, especially their logic and way of thinking. That was why they could not see each other eye to eye.

While Instructor Mei Lan and Tang Li Xue conversed with each other, Elder Yang's group almost reached the main street in front of them.

All the people there already started to bow their backs toward Elder Yang's group to show their respect to Crown Prince Feng.

Instructor Mei Lan, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao also immediately followed the other people around them and bowed their backs toward Elder Yang's group.

Only Tang Li Xue felt really hesitant to do so.

'The heck?! Even my perfect copy did not need to bow so submissively to them before! Then why the hell do I need to bow toward them?!' Tang Li Xue puckered her pinkish lips in displeasure and complained in her heart.

At that time, the Phoenix of Pride inside Tang Li Xue's Dantian almost jumped out again just like when she saw the old man with a black mask in Quanhai City before.

Tang Li Xue's expression turned solemn in that instant. She quickly gritted her teeth to suppress her Phoenix of Pride.

It would be really bad if her Phoenix of Pride suddenly jumped out in the middle of Tang Feng City!

'Damn it! Little guy, what the hell is wrong with you now?! You always sleep so deeply when I am fighting against any enemies, but you always suddenly acting up in the really dangerous timing! Just calm down for now, okay?! We can talk about what you want later!' Tang Li Xue warned the Phoenix of Pride.

Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes when she saw that Tang Li Xue was still unmoving. She quickly grabbed Tang Li Xue's left shoulder and pushed it down to make Tang Li Xue bow.

Clink… Clink… Clink…

Because she suddenly bowed, the ring necklace she wore on her neck, which was usually hidden under her clothes came out on its own.

At this timing, Elder Yang subconsciously took a glance toward the real Tang Li Xue right now.

The cultivator with a higher cultivation level did not only have greater strength but all of their senses will also get a lot sharper.

Although the distance between Elder Yang and the real Tang Li Xue was quite far, but he could still see Tang Li Xue's ring necklace so clearly from there.

Elder Yang widened his eyes in an instant when he saw the very familiar-looking ring hung on the real Tang Li Xue's neck.

Elder Yang swiftly jumped down from his horse without saying anything.

His sudden action almost made Tang Li Xue's perfect copy who was sitting in front of him fell from the horse.

Fortunately, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] in that instant to flip on the mid-air and landed gracefully on the ground.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy glared Elder Yang in fury, but before she could scold him, Elder Yang's figure already flashed toward the real Tang Li Xue.

Instructor Mei Lan gripped Tang Li Xue's left shoulder tighter and quickly pulled her back.

When Elder Yang appeared in front of the real Tang Li Xue, Instructor Mei Lan already stood in front of the real Tang Li Xue like a mother hen protecting her chick.

Even if Elder Yang had any intention of harming the real Tang Li Xue right now, he would probably not be able to even touch the tip of her hair anymore since she was already under Instructor Mei Lan's protection right now.

Elder Yang did not do anything after that. He only glared at Instructor Mei Lan in annoyance for a few moments before trying to look at the ring necklace on Tang Li Xue's neck.

Unfortunately, Elder Yang could not see Tang Li Xue or the ring necklace on her neck anymore since Instructor Mei Lan already stood right in front of Tang Li Xue to cover her.

"Your Excellency, is there anything you need from us? My disciple is only an ignorant young child, so if she accidentally does something to offend you before, then allow me, as her master, to apologize to you on her stead." Instructor Mei Lan politely said to Elder Yang while greeted him with the fist palm salute.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy hastily chased after Elder Yang from behind.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy wanted to explain that Instructor Mei Lan and her real self were her traveling companions, but she shut her mouth and fell silent after she received the stern warning glance from Instructor Mei Lan.

Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy really did not understand why Instructor Mei Lan did not let her admit that they were companions in front of Elder Yang.

But Instructor Mei Lan was actually being careful on Elder Yang's motive on approaching them so suddenly.

Unless Instructor Mei Lan found Elder Yang's true motive on suddenly approaching them, she would not let Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy acknowledged them as her companions.

But Instructor Mei Lan was actually being careful on Elder Yang's motive on approaching them so suddenly.

Unless Instructor Mei Lan found Elder Yang's true motive on suddenly approaching them, she would not let Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy acknowledged them as her companions.

Because they would have more insurance if they stay separated into two sides like this.

Even if Instructor Mei Lan's side got caught later by Elder Yang's side, then Tang Li Xue could still swap place with her perfect copy to escape and ask for help from Myriad Foxes Academy.

Currently, Instructor Mei Lan looked so beautiful and gentle as usual. Any male who saw her would usually have a good impression on her or even became fond of her in an instant.

But it did not seem to affect Elder Yang at all. He spoke to Instructor Mei Lan with a cold and distant tone while saluted back to Instructor Mei Lan: "Elder Yang of Immortal Sword Sect greets Young Miss. Your student did not make any mistake to me. I am really sorry for startling you and your students just now."

"It is just the ring necklace on your student's neck feels really familiar to me. Can I ask permission to see it for a moment?" Elder Yang politely asked Instructor Mei Lan.

Instructor Mei Lan frowned a bit and felt quite hesitant. She was not sure if the ring necklace on Tang Li Xue's neck was this Elder Yang's real objective or he might only deliberately make trouble with their group for some unknown reasons.

"Little Xue, where did you get your ring necklace from? Is it only an ordinary ring necklace or the precious treasure?" Instructor Mei Lan secretly asked the real Tang Li Xue behind her with [Telepathy] skill.
