Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 250: First rate talent Part1

"Yana. Yana!" Kosa loudly called for his daughter as he entered the house in a hurry.

Tang Yue heard him but continued gazing at the notification in front of her.

Ding. 0.000001% Dwarven bloodline absorbed

It took her about an entire day and Barton had been finally digested, from head to toe completely.

But the dwarf had only given her an abysmal amount of bloodline.

At this rate, she would have to hunt down millions of dwarves in order to complete the dwarven bloodline.

Of course, this was not the only way. 

The other method would be to upgrade her evolution skill further, and also her bloodline assimilation skill, bloodline gorger.

Tch. Tch. Tang Yue disappointedly clicked her tongue.

Both the methods were obviously going to take her a lot of time to accomplish.

So there was no point in fuzzing over them now.

She quickly closed the notification and also her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Kosa walked over to the backyard and saw his daughter leaning on a pillar and peacefully sleeping.

His heart ached. "Don't worry my dear. I will never let anything happen to you." 

The old man patted Tang Yue's head and gently woke her up.

"Child, wake up. We have to do some preparations today." Kosa smiled bitterly and spoke.

"What happened, father?" Tang Yue rubbed her eyes innocently and blinked as if she had just woken up from a deep sleep.

"This child" Kosa hesitated. He was sure that his daughter wouldn't go for this, so he had to trick her somehow.

Sorry, child. Father is lying to you for your own good. He hardened his heart and mumbled.

"I made some arrangements with an old friend in the royal city."

"If you walk over to the Nilu village, then you can go to the royal city along with the merchant caravans there," Kosa instructed her.

"But father, what about the wedding?" Tang Yue asked in confusion.

"Ah Yes. Yes. This is for the purpose of the wedding only." Kosa awkwardly smiled and lied.

Huh? Tang Yue was taken aback for a second. She subconsciously rubbed her tummy.

I have already eaten the groom. So what wedding is he talking about?

Tang Yue gazed in confusion at the old man and after seeing the warm and loving smile on his face, everything became clear to her.

"Sure, father. I will do as you say so." Tang Yue smiled and nodded.

She knew that the news of Barton's death and his infidelity should be definitely reaching her village by the end of the day.

So she didn't want to argue or explain anything to the old man unnecessarily.

All she had to do was hang around somewhere else for the entire day and everything would be resolved on its own.

Tang Yue got up and busily packed her things as if she was headed to the city, but once she was out of the house, she simply walked over to the merchant market.

This was not the usual village market.

This group of merchants traveled from one village to another and sold miscellaneous high-quality wares which typically wouldn't be available in a remote village.

There were delicious aromatic eateries, gambling dens, antique shops, rare weapons shops, and several other shops like this.

The whole market was bustling with crowds, with even people from the neighboring villages visiting here.

Kosa had asked her to take the two slaves along with her, so Charlotte and the little kid were also with Tang Yue and of course, Little Blue.

The trio happily loitered around the market for the entire day, enjoying the company of Tang Yue.

Tang Yue took a look at the shops. 

She actually wanted to buy a set of herbs for concocting another patch of Devil Awakening pills to improve her mental strength, but unfortunately, 'Yana' spending that much money would look suspicious.

So she decided to not do that for now.

The three mainly hung around the gambling dens and the games area and had fun by spending small change.

There were eating contests, bow and arrow contests, poke the fish contests, and several other small games.

In reality, Tang Yue didn't even get a chance to compete and have fun in any of these.

From the start to finish, a certain elf and a certain kid locked horns with each other and were on fire.

While the little kid skillfully released a dozen arrows, all of them hitting the target one after the other with pinpoint accuracy, Charlotte managed to poke multiple extremely agile fishes, known for their lightning speed, at the same time and cleared out the pond within seconds.

Both held huge game prizes in their hands and rushed over to Tang Yue to show it off proudly and gift it to her.

The prize for the marksmanship game was a beautiful pair of blue lotus earrings and the prize for the fish pond was a stack of free meal coupons.

Xander scoffed and wore a smug satisfied grin since his gift was clearly superior, but unfortunately, that smile wore off within minutes.

After watching Tang Yue and Charlotte both wolf down food from the various eateries as if they had been starving for years together, he shook his head helplessly.

Charlotte's prize had won and he was clearly the loser here.

Since when did women like food more than jewelry???

Sigh! It's difficult to understand women!

Xander inched closer and leaned on Tang Yue as he absentmindedly watched her chatting, laughing, and eating with Charlotte.

And suddenly, Tang Yue turned around and pinched his cheeks. "You are not eating anything?"

She held a piece of roasted meat in her fork and spoon-fed it to him with a smile.

And just like that, the smug grin on Xander's face was once again back.

He triumphantly looked at Charlotte and the elf glared back at him as if he was her nemesis, without bothering to mask any of her emotions.
