"That's really strange." Another person shook his head in confusion. "We've been patrolling diligently. If we find a stone lacking in energy, we'll replace it immediately. We never wait until the energy inside is completely depleted. How could this happen?"

Lu Xianyun, who was hiding in the dark, felt his heart suddenly tighten.

As expected, no matter what kind of plan there will always be loopholes.

"But the facts are already in front of us. It seems that we are indeed negligent. Let's not discuss this matter anymore. Do you want the goddess to know and punish us?" Another person said.

The others were silent immediately.

They replaced the magic stones, repaired the formation, and then left.

After they left, Lu Xianyun quietly emerged from the darkness again.

Xiaobai walked back and forth anxiously in the formation, and after seeing Lu Xianyun, it became even more anxious.

Lu Xianyun could feel its anxiety even through the formation.

Xiaobai's voice rang in her mind: "Master, when will you let me out? When will you take me away?"

"Just bear with it for a while," Lu Xianyun said to it. "I'm going to hide in Qionglin Garden for a while. When I leave, I'll definitely take you with me."

"No, Master, you've already come in, do you still need me here? While no one else is paying attention, quickly switch me back to the original nine-tailed fox!"

It looked around and said warily, "Didn't you tell me that the beasts here are there to be eaten by that goddess? Don't let that goddess eat me before you can get me back!"

Lu Xianyun thought about it and nodded. It made sense.

"Then you can't be anxious. Because the Nine-Tailed Fox has escaped, these people will definitely guard Qionglin Garden more strictly in the next few days. Don't let them be discovered when I exchange you. I'll wait a few days until they are less vigilant and then I'll exchange you back."

Xiaobai felt helpless when he heard this, but he could only nod in agreement.

In the next few days, just as Lu Xianyun had guessed, the people who were feeding the animals became more diligent in their patrols, especially focusing on checking the immortal stones in the formation to see if there were any signs that they had been used up.

However, their diligent patrols made it more difficult for Lu Xianyun to dodge.

Otherwise, should she hide among the slaves?

Lu Xianyun had an idea. He wanted to persuade the slaves who were about to be fed here to rebel, just like he had persuaded the slaves in the mine to rebel.

It was often the most disobedient and rebellious who were sent here to be eaten, so they must have been quite resolute. Judging from the way that slave fought the beast that day, he wouldn't betray her easily.

However, the slaves were guarded more closely than the beasts, so it was not easy for her to sneak in.

Forget it, she should think about it again!

After hiding for a few days, those people relaxed again and patrolled less diligently.

Lu Xianyun's life became better.

Whenever no one was paying attention, she would study the formations in the Qionglin Garden Palace. Perhaps this formation was the same as the one in the Goddess's palace? If she could crack this one, perhaps she could also crack the Goddess's palace.

Since the inspection was not strict, Lu Xianyun decided to replace Xiaobai.

This guy is too timid. He has been trapped in the formation for these days and must have lost a lot of weight due to fear.

Lu Xianyun came to its formation. When Xiaobai saw his master, he jumped up and down excitedly.

It didn't dare make a sound, fearing it would attract the patrols. Instead, it sent a message directly into Lu Xianyun's mind: "Master, take me away!"

Lu Xianyun nodded.

But she couldn't let Xiaobai go back to the restaurant. After all, her restaurant was too conspicuous to be invisible. If she let the restaurant go, it would probably attract a large group of people.

So Lu Xianyun took the fairy stone, destroyed the formation, waved his hand, and temporarily put Xiaobai into the system space.

Since the nine-tailed fox will not be used as food, there should be no danger for Xiaobai to enter the system space.

Then he quickly waved his hand again and released the nine-tailed fox.

The nine-tailed fox didn't look abnormal, except that it seemed a little surprised by the sudden change of environment.

Lu Xianyun was just about to seal the formation and leave quickly, but Xiaobai's voice rang in his mind again.

"Master, please take the nine-tailed fox with you!" There was a hint of request in Xiaobai's voice.

"Huh?" This made Lu Xianyun puzzled.

"Why?" Lu Xianyun asked it.

"Um...this..." Xiaobai became shy and embarrassed.

"Master, it's a female fox." Xiaobai finally said it.

Lu Xianyun suddenly understood.

She knew Xiaobai was a male fox. He had never left the restaurant in the lower realms, so the transformation tribulation had never struck him again. Now that he had reached the immortal realm, he had finally emerged from the restaurant. However, the thunder tribulations of the lower realms usually descended from the immortal realm, so naturally, they wouldn't strike there. Therefore, Xiaobai had emerged unscathed.

Otherwise, with its current strength, it should be able to easily survive the transformation and become a man.

But it hasn't changed, it's still a fox, so the male fox will naturally like the female fox!

What's more, this is a nine-tailed fox just like it.

Is this what they call love at first sight?

As its owner, Lu Xianyun really should make some good plans for his pet.

But her current situation was already very bad. If she stole another nine-tailed fox, the people in Qionglin Garden would discover her hiding here even sooner.

"Let me think about it." Lu Xianyun said.

See if there is any way to have the best of both worlds.

Two days later, Lu Xianyun had already figured out the formation of Qionglin Garden.

Now she can come and go freely in Qionglin Garden.

But it’s no use being able to come in and out freely!

Who made her prepare to do something big - steal the goddess's nine-tailed fox?

And it's not just the nine-tailed fox.

Lu Xianyun had already thought about it. Since he was going to do it, why not do something big?

Stealing one would attract attention anyway, and stealing a bunch would also attract attention, so why didn't she steal a bunch?

I'm bound to offend that goddess eventually, so I'll offend her severely to death!

But all of this needs to be done quickly.

Lu Xianyun chose a good opportunity and first broke the immortal stone of the Nine-Tailed Fox's formation and took the Nine-Tailed Fox away. Then she went to the other beasts, such as Huo Dou, Chong Ming, Bai Ze, and Ya Yu...

No one is left behind wherever he goes!

The system's words that day, "These beasts have had their cultivation sealed," reminded Lu Xianyun. Since their cultivation had been sealed, they should be easy to take away.

It would not be easy for her to gather so many kinds of ferocious beasts elsewhere!
