The real Tang Li Xue also got all of the information that Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy managed to get from Elder Yang.
She started to contemplate all the information she got carefully to devise her next plan while still looking at a safe and remote place to get changed.
Of course, she also did not want to get changed in the open s.p.a.ce like in the garden or behind the building. That was the reason why Tang Li Xue was still looking for an empty room until now.
She could also build a small empty room with her [Energy Manipulation] if she wanted to, but it would be too eye-catching since Tang Li Xue would usually use her moon energy to create something with her [Energy Manipulation], and her every creation usually have the faint s.h.i.+ny white color like the moon.
Tang Li Xue could also use the energy from her Flame of Pride to create something with her [Energy Manipulation], but it would be even more conspicuous with the bright deep-blue color, just like her Flame of Pride.
"All right! Let"s sum up all the information my perfect copy get while looking for a remote empty room." Tang Li Xue thought while sprinting so fast with her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step].
Every time she pa.s.sed by the patrolling guards or the gatekeepers, no one could see her figure at all, so all of those guards only thought that she was only a pa.s.sing wind.
"First, the serial killer might be already disguised herself and blend amid the Feng Imperial Family or the people close to them while waiting for the right opportunity to strike."
"Second, several powerful Elders from Immortal Sword Sect are currently still guarding the Feng Imperial Family, which make even the serial killer wary of them and do not dare to do anything recklessly."
"Third, the serial killer deliberately killed so many people last night to force Elder Yang to make his move first. The serial killer is clearly waiting for Elder Yang to take his people to catch a wrong target. At that time, the guards around the Feng Imperial Family would be thinning a lot, and it would be the right time for the serial killer to finish off her target."
Tang Li Xue became quite proud of herself when she could deduce everything until this far.
But then her expression turned really urgent as a terrifying revelation suddenly flashed in her mind.
"Wait a minute... There is something strange here... Why the h.e.l.l the serial killer only made her move and started to kill so many people in Imperial Palace AFTER Instructor Lan, me, and the others came here?! I am sure the thunderstorm last night was not the reason, right?"
"Don"t tell me...?! Holysh*t! That serial killer deliberately did that to implicate us into this mess?! And also... that sly Elder Yang might be already got suspicious of us too, that was the reason why he let those imperial guards detain us in our room!"
"What a cunning fox?! Uh..... I mean a cunning human. He should have been able to help Instructor Lan, me, and the others just like how he helped my perfect copy to clear all the suspicions with only a few words. Those officials and imperial guards definitely would not dare to oppose him anyway. But he did not do it, and it was already more than enough to show his suspicions to us!"
"No... Even all of those might be only his excuse! Maybe the imperial guards detain us in our room under the direct order of Elder Yang himself! Tsk, tsk, tsk... What an evil scheming man!"
After she thought of that, Tang Li Xue gnashed her teeth in anger and cursed Elder Yang many more times in her heart.
After running around for a few minutes, Tang Li Xue finally found an empty room somewhere desolate.
This place was called the Hall of Purity and Tranquility. It seems like this place was used to exile some guilty younger generations for some time, so they could calm down and carefully ponder the mistakes they had already made here.
Of course, Tang Li Xue did not know or care about something like that. She immediately picked one of the empty rooms there and entered it while brought the maid outfit with her mouth.
Even though Tang Li Xue already made sure that there was no one else here other than her with [Extrasensory Perception], but she still felt a bit insecure, so she decided to create a layer of the cover wall around her with [Energy Manipulation].
Tang Li Xue activated her incomplete divine ability [Transfiguration: Human Form] again to turn back from her fox form into her human form.
The rustling sound of cloth could be heard very clearly in the empty room when Tang Li Xue started to put on the maid outfit.
"This is so uncomfortable... There is no underwear here, and the size of this maid outfit is really big! Just how fat is the owner of this outfit?! It is so loose when I put it on..." Tang Li Xue frowned while complained softly in disappointment.
All of the maids in this Imperial Palace were already going through strict selection before, so all of the maids here actually had proportional figures and not fat or ugly at all.
The reason for that was because the maids in this Imperial Palace also have the obligation to satisfy the pa.s.sion of the guests, officials, and their higher-ups to make all of them contented living here.
There were even some of the maids here who were lucky enough to be brought home by the important guests or officials and be appointed as the concubines by them.
Of course, Tang Li Xue did not know any about these things. If she knew it, she would probably refuse to disguise herself as a maid right now.
The height of the maid who wore the maid outfit before was definitely more than 170 cm, and her figure was also a bit plump with a quite good curve.
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue"s height was only a little bit taller than 150 cm with an ideal slender figure.
So, it was not strange at all when Tang Li Xue wore the maid outfit, it looked baggy and loose-fitting.
Although, the maid outfit still looked really good on her more than her usual clothes, since she looked more charming and seductive when she was wearing it.
But Tang Li Xue clearly did not like it that way because she wanted to look ordinary and inconspicuous when wearing it, so she could blend in easily with the other maids.
Moreover, she showed a bit of her jade-like white skin when she was wearing this maid outfit because of how oversized it was, especially on the part of her shoulder.
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply in dissatisfaction after she tried to wear the maid outfit.
She waved her hand and used her [Energy Manipulation] to create a full-body mirror in front of her.
Tang Li Xue looked at the reflection of herself on the white mirror and clicked her tongue in amazement.
"No matter how many times I see my own reflection, I still cannot stop myself but be fascinated by my own beauty." Tang Li Xue murmured to herself while putting on a seductive pose and a dazzling smile on her stunningly beautiful face.
Compared to her extremely pitiful skinny and sickly appearance in her previous life, the difference was too vast like heaven and earth.
Tang Li Xue almost wanted to cry when she remembered about it again.
Unfortunately, the person she wanted to share and brag about this fact the most, her big brother, was not here with her in this Immortal World.
"I am really satisfied with my current flawless looks… except for one thing…" Tang Li Xue murmured again while staring at her reflection"s chest on the mirror in displeasure.
Her barely C-Cup pair of b.r.e.a.s.t.s was really an eyesore in Tang Li Xue"s eyes.
However, Tang Li Xue did not have any time to think about how to fix that right now since she was still busy thinking about other things.
There were too many things she needs to hide if she wanted to disguise as a maid, blend in with the other maids, and infiltrate the Imperial Family"s personal palace.
Her furry silvery-white foxtail, her cute-looking pair of fox ears, her mesmerizing pair of topaz blue eyes, her long silky smooth s.h.i.+ny silver hair, her bewitching pink lips, and her stunningly beautiful face… Even her jade-like snow-white skin looked really captivating and could easily attract anyone"s eyes.
Tang Li Xue pursed her lips and said: "Aren"t there a bit too much to hide? The heck, it seems impossible to hide everything! Sigh... What should I do now? Now I know why Instructor Mei Lan wanted us to wear the long black cloak and black hood."
"Oh, right… I do not even have a pair of shoes to wear right now." Tang Li Xue murmured as she put her slender finger on her chin to think.
With the help of her several upgraded skills, Tang Li Xue"s mind was thinking really fast, and she started devising some plans in her mind.
Unfortunately, her lack of knowledge and experience restricted her ability to think and make proper plans. That was the main biggest difference between her and the sharp-minded people like Instructor Mei Lan, the serial killer, Elder Yang, and Mo Chonglin.
"Should I just imitate Instructor Lan"s plan in Lin Family"s residence and seduce an Imperial Family member to bring me into his place? No, I can"t. That plan is too risky and reckless. Besides that, Instructor Lan"s situation at that time is completely different from me right now." Tang Li Xue pondered her next move carefully.
