Chapter 334: Fool me once Part4
“Hunting? But where?” Tang Yue asked.
She had in fact come to the same conclusion and wanted to find more beasts to strengthen her bloodline but the biggest problem once again was time!
The nine countries on their lands were vast nations filled with wilderness in abundance.
There were also several powerful beasts within them.
But even the strongest ones among them were utmost mid-grade or high-grade beasts.
Unfortunately, at Tang Yue’s level, these were no longer that useful to her.
What she needed were more ancient and powerful beasts. But where could she find such beasts?
There might be hidden dungeons and lairs within the Nine countries themselves which perhaps housed such powerful beings.
However, Tang Yue severely lacked the time to comb through the thickets and search for such spots.
So when the old man suggested the obvious, she could only ask him the solution as well.
“Don’t worry about that little snake. There is a place. Ha Ha Ha. There is a very good place.”
“But remember this. Once again I cannot help you there. If I reveal my presence, we both will be killed immediately.”
“You can only count on yourself. So think twice before taking this decision.”
Tang Yue nodded. She was not too disappointed with the old man’s words.
She didn’t plan on relying on him in the first place.
If what he was saying was true and if he indeed had such a spot for her training, then that would be the best chance for her to break out of her barrier and soar to the next level.
Tang Yue panted in fervor and then calmed herself down. She first needed to prepare things thoroughly for this.
She cannot afford any more mistakes, not when the stakes were so high.
How many more times could she possibly keep begging Xander for help?
Tang Yue silently contemplated the various things, though ironically waiting for Xander’s help even at the moment.
Adding to her dismay, the devil took his sweet time, not returning back to the private quarters even after a few hours.
Tang Yue was starting to get a bit impatient.
She had also sent several messages to Charlotte and hadn’t heard back from her yet, making her feel a bit restless.
As she was pacing back and forth in the long corridor adorned with beautiful flowers and exquisite carvings, Tang Yue’s mind spun around different possibilities.
“Your highness.” A familiar voice interrupted her thoughts, making her stop in her tracks.
“Lotte!” Tang Yue turned around with a warm smile on her face. It had been a while since she had seen this young elf.
Lotte as well flashed her a warm and happy smile in return.
Tang Yue looked at the young man from top to bottom. He seemed to be doing fine.
He had even gained more muscles and become a bit taller.
Tang Yue had always worried if the elf would be mistreated in her absence just because he had served her but seeing him doing fine eased these concerns.
She was in fact rather impressed.
She had always thought that the young man had the tact to act accordingly and survive somehow.
So she was happy to see that it was true.
“How are things, Lotte?” Tang Yue asked, patting the elf on his shoulder.
“Your highness, thanks to your kindness, I have been doing very well.”
“My kindness?” Tang Yue’s brows shot up. “But I didn’t do anything?”
“Ha Ha. Your highness. Please don’t joke. His highness has already told me the truth.”
“Xander?” Tang Yue’s lips twitched.
“Yes. Yes. His highness has been taking very good care of me and my sister.” Lotte bowed and thanked her.
“Is that so?” Tang Yue sneered.
For some reason, the man’s presumptuous actions, albeit kind, and generous actions made her frustrated.
“It’s ok. Good. Good. I am glad to know that you are doing great.”
“I have to pay someone a visit now. We can have a feast together later.”
Tang Yue mumbled quickly and hurriedly turned around to leave when she suddenly stopped.
A small doubt arose in her mind and she quickly confirmed it.
“Lotte, wait a minute. Have you seen lady Charlotte around lately?”
Ah~~ Lotte paused.
He didn’t respond to her immediately and the elf looked hesitant.
Clearly, something was bothering him and he wiped the sweat off of his forehead hurriedly.
“That… That… Your highness.” He timidly mumbled.
“Enough.” Tang Yue raised her hand.
He did not have to say anything more. She already knew what he was going to say.
Tang Yue nodded at the elf, signaling him to carry on and she as well walked away with an unfathomable smile on her lips.
“The devil wants to dance with me? That’s fine. I will play along.” She smirked and headed directly to the royal courtroom.
…
…
…
Meanwhile, in another palace in the royal city of Eldoria…
“What the hell? Are you serious? She is back in the royal city? She is in the palace right now?”
Marvin fumed, the fat on his body jiggling.
“USELESS! USELESS! USELESS!” He yelled in frustration.
“I spent so much money and this is the result I get???”
“What the heck are the two goblins and that slut doing?”
“Why are they taking so long to finish a good for nothing bitch?”
“Argghhh!!! This is so infuriating. If I don’t do something myself, I swear things never get done.”
“I have to do everything myself.”
“Tch. Tch. Tch.”
“USELESS! Bunch of trash.” Marvin spat out venomously and grabbed a whip that was near him.
He then mercilessly whipped and punished the two men who had brought this news to him.
The maid who was unfortunate enough to serve him at the moment as well received the punishment.
But unlike the two experts who had significant cultivation base and were able to withstand Marvin’s punishments, the maid trembled in pain.
In the end, she was whipped to her death and Marvin’s anger had still not satiated.
He kicked her dead body and stormed out of the chamber to inform elder Darius about this news and discuss things with him in person.
