Reincarnated As a Fox With System-Chapter 981: The Only Solution!

When those advanced body protection talismans activated, Tang Li Xue's body was immediately wrapped in invisible protective layers.

Tang Li Xue sighed in relief since she no longer felt cold.

However, the effect of advanced body protection talismans clearly could not last long.

Xi'er's powerful black energy barrier could not resist the Water Guardian's Profound Law of Cold and Frost for long, which means Tang Li Xue would be in big trouble if she tried to resist it head-on, even with the protection of advanced body protection talismans.

"Sister Xue, should I just finish off that goldfish?" Xi'er inquired in a cold tone while making a cutting throat gesture.

"What?! No, you can't~! That Water Guardian might be one of the most important parts of this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]. What if this Water Floor or even this entire pagoda could no longer function properly without it?!" Tang Li Xue rejected Xi'er's suggestion without any hesitation.

"Then what should we do? We clearly cannot continue to be passive like this." Xi'er asked Tang Li Xue again.

Tang Li Xue bit her pink lips and pondered carefully for a while, but she still could not think of any good solution for this.

"Trying to attack the Water Guardian will only make it even more violent. The only way to bring it back to its senses is to clean this Water Floor back to how it was before we came here, but we have to wait at least until Little Loki and the others manage to collect all the water pearls first." Tang Li Xue concluded.

"That is too troublesome!" Xi'er complained unhappily.

Fortunately, it did not take long for Little Loki, Lucia, and Yaya to find almost all the water pearls thanks to Little Loki's treasure-sensing ability.

Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes shone in excitement after she received the water pearls from Little Loki, Lucia, and Yaya.

"One, two, three, four... Only eight water pearls? There are not many of them. I thought there would be thirty or fifty of them. Are you sure that this is all of them?" Tang Li Xue asked Little Loki in a doubtful tone.

Little Loki shook its head and replied: "Nya nyaaw meoow mew mew! (No, there is one more!)

Then Little Loki pointed its tiny paw toward the frenzied Water Guardian.

"You mean the last water pearl is on that guy?!" Tang Li Xue inquired in surprise.

Little Loki nodded its tiny furry head cutely.

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply before she glanced at Xi'er and nodded at her.

Among them all, only Xi'er could get close to the frenzied Water Guardian without getting hurt by its unbearable frost power.

Xi'er also immediately understood Tang Li Xue's intention as she fearlessly rushed toward the berserk Water Guardian! freewebnσvel.cѳm

The berserk Water Guardian realized it and quickly unleashed its attack toward Xi'er!

Hundreds of sharp icicles solidified in the blink of an eye and assaulted Xi'er from all directions!

Xi'er released her black fog-like Death Energy and wrapped it around her body to protect herself from the rain of sharp icicles and unbearable coldness emitted by the Water Guardian!

She also transformed the [Sword of Disaster] in her grasp to Shield Form.

BANG~! BANG~! CLANG~! CLANG~!

Xi'er undauntedly blocked all of Water Guardian's attacks with her black fog-like Death Energy and pitch-black shield in her grasp.

Even though her speed was slowed down a lot, but she was still steadily getting closer to the berserk Water Guardian!

"Yaya~! Lucia~!" Tang Li Xue yelled.

Yaya, who was sitting on Tang Li Xue's shoulder, immediately cast her support spells toward Xi'er.

[Traceless Wind Cover]~!

[Wind Guardian Blessing]~!

Lucia also cast her [Golden Light Spell] to Xi'er, and a golden protective layer covered Xi'er's entire body.

Xi'er's overall defense and speed instantly soared as she swam toward the berserk Water Guardian with breakneck speed while almost all of the Water Guardian's attacks missed thanks to Yaya's [Wind Guardian Blessing], which granted an auto-dodge effect!

BAAAAAANG~!

Xi'er used her pitch-black thick shield to crash heavily onto the berserk Water Guardian!

Xi'er's black shield was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost, and it spread rapidly to Xi'er's arms, then to her body!

Fortunately, Xi'er had triple layers of protection of her own Death Energy barrier, Yaya's [Traceless Wind Cover], and Lucia's [Golden Light Spell]. If not for those, Xi'er would have already frozen into an ice statue right now.

When the berserk Water Guardian was still dizzy because of the heavy crash with Xi'er's shield, Xi'er swiftly took this chance to grope the Water Guardian to find the last water pearl!

The berserk Water Guardian's entire body was extremely cold, but strangely, the water around it was not frozen.

It was as if the Water Guardian could perfectly control the form of the water without being affected by the temperature.

Luckily, Xi'er's current body was an unkillable undead body. If not for that, Xi'er would have already been killed by the unbearable coldness, even if she had the triple layers of protection.

"Got it~!" Xi'er exclaimed as she finally found the final water pearl hidden by the Water Guardian on its body.

Xi'er hastily swam back from the berserk Water Guardian to Tang Li Xue and the others.

When the berserk Water Guardian shook away its dizziness, it became very angry at Xi'er!

The berserk Water Guardian condensed hundreds of sharp ice discs, then created several spinning water vortexes!

The spinning water vortexes sucked Xi'er before she could reach Tang Li Xue and the others while the sharp ice discs tried to tear her to pieces!

"Damn it~! This angry fish is getting more and more violent!" Tang Li Xue groaned in annoyance.

"It cannot be helped... Little Loki, do it now~!" Tang Li Xue instructed Little Loki.

Little Loki opened its tiny mouth widely as it activated its [Temporal Storage] ability!

Then a large amount of water rapidly sucked into Little Loki's mouth!

At first, Tang Li Xue did not want to do it in this way because she was afraid that it would ruin this Water Floor.

This entire [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] would belong to her sooner or later after all, so any damage to it would only make her feel painful.

Unfortunately, she did not have any other choice right now.

It did not take long for Little Loki to drain almost all the water on this water floor, but Water Guardian still had not given up, as it spouted out a large amount of water from its mouth to fill the floor with water again instead!

'Wait a minute... This is... This might be our solution!' Tang Li Xue thought as her topaz blue eyes shone in excitement.

"Little Loki, just drain the previous water and let Water Guardian fill it again with new water." Tang Li Xue whispered to Little Loki.

Yes, Tang Li Xue planned to let Little Loki drain the dirty water, then let Water Guardian fill it back again with fresh and clean water!

Little Loki did not really understand Tang Li Xue's intention, but it still did it according to Tang Li Xue's instruction.

Tang Li Xue also put Lucia and Yaya back into the System's pet space first, so they would not accidentally dirty the water again.

"Sister Xue, this is the last water pearl!" Xi'er gave the last water pearl she obtained from the Water Guardian to Tang Li Xue.

"Thank you for your hard work. You can also go back to the [Sword of Disaster] for now. It would be bad if you accidentally stained the water again." Tang Li Xue playfully said to Xi'er.

Xi'er rolled her eyes in annoyance: "It is not my fault, okay?! I am very clean! It should be Little Loki's fault. Its fur should be falling out everywhere, which made the water dirty."

Little Loki glared angrily at Xi'er, but it could not protest yet since its mouth was still busily suck the water.

Xi'er giggled amusingly at the angry-looking Little Loki before she went back to the [Sword of Disaster], then Tang Li Xue stored the [Sword of Disaster] into her space pouch.

After all the water on the Water Floor was replaced by new water, Tang Li Xue also put away Little Loki into her System's pet space.

There was [Void Barrier] around Tang Li Xue, so it could be said that she did not touch the water at all.

The Water Guardian finally regained its senses as it shook its head to clear its mind.

"This... I am really sorry, Young Lady. It seems I lost my mind again just now." The Water Guardian apologized to Tang Li Xue in an embarrassed tone.

Tang Li Xue stared strangely at Water Guardian and asked curiously: "You... How long have you been suffering from such a strange disease?"

"I have always been like this as long as I can remember. Maybe because I am used to living in clean and fresh water from birth, so if the water where I am living is dirty, even a little bit, I will feel extremely disgusted and uncomfortable." Water Guardian patiently explained to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched a bit as she thought: 'That was clearly not just feeling extremely disgusted and uncomfortable, okay?! You literally want to destroy everything you see just now!'

But Tang Li Xue was too tired to argue with that strange mysophobic Water Guardian, so she decided to go straight to the point.

"By the way, I have found all the water pearls. There are only nine water pearls in total, right?" Tang Li Xue said as she showed all the water pearls she found to the Water Guardian.
