Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 248: Settling scores Part5

Tang Yue tightened her body around the dwarf very slowly and carefully, making sure that she inflicted the maximum pain.

"Am I taking care of you, well?" She hissed, her voice sounding maniacal amidst Barton's blood-curdling wailing cries. 

Even Charlotte shivered and took a step back. She didn't know that someone so kind could be so sadistic and cruel.

Why was Tang Yue so different today? She silently wondered.

The barbaric scene in front of her continued for a few good minutes before Tang Yue finally crushed the dwarf all the way to his death and tossed the lifeless body down.

She then hissed angrily and gulped down the dwarf fully. 

Her long thin serpentine coil now had an unrecognizable bulge in the middle.

Tang Yue then silently coiled herself back in a corner and lazily laid, with her head bobbing up and down.

Her emerald eyes wandered and settled on Charlotte, who was startled by her gaze.

Tang Yue tried to observe the elf's reactions. Maybe this was all too much for Charlotte? She must find me repulsive now. 

"Ahem Yue Sorry about the things that I did to you you know back when you moved to the palace."

Charlotte awkwardly chuckled and mumbled under her breath whilst fidgeting with her fingers. She didn't want to ever get on Tang Yue's bad side.

"I am sorry." Tang Yue hissed. "I did warn you and tell you to go outside." 

Charlotte shook her head. "No. No. It's alright." 

She was slightly taken aback by such raw cruelty but it was still not enough to make her puke or anything.

Her only question was what had made Tang Yue act so intensely. 

She had never seen her react like this, even when she had poisoned her before, numerous times.

While she was silently mulling over various reasons that could have led Tang Yue to act in such an extreme fashion, a small thought appeared in her mind.

Earlier that day Barton and his father were demanding Kosa to hand over the new slave, aka. herself.

So maybe Tang Yue had gotten so angry because they tried to bully me? 

Charlotte gasped in realization and a blush crept over to her cheeks.

From within the shadows, apart from Tang Yue and Charlotte, one other person also had come to the same conclusion and was barely able to control himself.

Xander wanted to get out there and rip the damned elf-vixen apart limb to limb.

Why was his woman so protective over this stupid? This was not fair.

His dark elemental clone was trembling with anger, and the small kid who was standing a good distance away from the quarry also trembled with anger.

While Xander and Charlotte silently cooked up their own fantasies, Tang Yue lazily bobbed her head and hissed.

"I am sorry. I really didn't intend to make things this bloody, but the thought of how these assholes were toying with that poor old man drove me crazy and I ended up venting."

"Ah I see." Charlotte blankly stood, with her lips slightly parted and nodded.

Xander's fury as well disappeared and he scoffed at the damned elf. "The world doesn't revolve around you, bitch!" he cursed her inwardly.

Both looked at Tang Yue and smiled warmly. What a gentle and kind soul! 

They had most definitely forgotten the blood-curdling wails that were echoing inside the cave only a few minutes ago.

Charlotte stood there and gazed at Tang Yue's beast form for a few more minutes.

After which, she became a bit self-conscious about her emotions showing on her face.

"I will stand guard outside. Just in case" She awkwardly muttered and ran away.

After she left, only Zinya, little Blue, and of course, Xander's dark elemental clone were still hanging around Tang Yue.

Zinya was sitting in a corner, facing a wall and in a complete trance and Little Blue was lying lazily near Tang Yue, licking her every now and then.

Only Xander was curiously staring at Tang Yue. He couldn't help but admire the way she handled things.

But more than that, he had a nagging suspicion in his heart. 

Tang Yue could absorb the earthen affinity from the beasts and could somehow make it her own, then about the affinity of the dwarf? 

What about the other features and properties of the dwarves?

He had a million questions, but all he could do was patiently wait and try and figure out the answers.

But the truth was that Tang Yue herself had no idea what was going to happen now.

She hadn't planned on doing this but she had lost control of her anger and ended up swallowing the scummy dwarf instead of simply killing him.

It turned out that she loved this fake father of hers a lot more than her real father. Tang Yue chuckled wryly.

Hmmm Is it even possible for me to absorb this bloodline? She didn't know.

Her evolution skills had upgraded after she reached Level 10 and she was even able to complete the bloodline of a high-grade beast.

However, this was a higher being! A dwarf!

Apart from their innate affinity to the earthen elemental, the dwarves also had several other remarkable capabilities.

They had a strong and sturdy physical body and their bones, muscles, and tendons were naturally tough.

They also had a rich and profound soul of higher quality, strong and capable enough to nourish other souls.

This was why the dwarves were able to develop soul weapons and spirit weapons in the first place.

So Tang Yue licked her lips in anticipation and excitement as she thought about everything that she could gain.

She wanted to ask the old man for more details, but remembering what had happened a while ago, she was still slightly scared and didn't dare ask about this.

[Previously, the old man had gone berserk and lectured her on massacring higher beings for power]

Tang Yue silently sat in the cave for almost the entire day, and she waited patiently for the dwarf in her stomach to digest.

It would soon be time to implement the second phase of her plan!
