Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 306: Little Blue vs Little Plum Part11

After chatting for a while, both Tang Yue and Charlotte quickly fell into a deep slumber.

Since Charlotte had also been training non-stop, she was extremely tired and worn out.

With both her hands wrapped around Tang Yue's waist comfortably, she hugged the woman to her heart's content and slept peacefully with a blissful smile on her face.

Ever since the little kid disappeared, her life had become far more joyous and colorful!

As the two women drifted asleep, engrossed in their own dreams, the night silently faded away.

However, Tang Yue's eyes suddenly flashed open, a little sooner than the first rays of the morning sunlight.

Even though her slumber was for only a few hours, she already felt well-rested and brimming with energy.

In reality, cultivators above the Mortal realm did not require that much sleep to rest and rejuvenate.

So when Tang Yue sensed a small energy vibration, she stirred awake and peered curiously at the glowing jade slip which had mysteriously popped up next to her head.

Rather than the traditional thin green stick of jade, this communication rune was more crystal-like and translucent.

"Who sent me this?" 

The memory of sending all those embarrassing messages to Xander from last night came flooding back to her and Tang Yue buried her head in the pillow from shame.

"Damn it. Do I have to listen to this?"

Tang Yue gulped and reluctantly activated the crystal.

Immediately a familiar voice chimed in from within. However, it was not the voice that she was dreading.

[Sister-in-law, when are you coming back? My younger brother is in trouble because of you.]

Tang Yue couldn't help but feel a bit taken aback from being addressed so intimately by the elven prince.

She somehow could vividly picture Xavier saying these things with a straight face.

Tang Yue sighed helplessly and continued listening.

[The elders are threatening to dethrone my brother. You better hurry and come back.]

Hmmm 

The woman's look turned pensive as she waited for the rest of the message but that was all that she got.

Tang Yue's mouth twitched and she stared at the crystal in confusion.

"This is it? This is the full message?"

"What the hell?"

"Is that lunatic playing some tricks on me?"

Her mind wandered but she knew that Xander most probably had nothing to do with this message.

The man was cruel, ruthless, and domineering, but at the same time, he was very straightforward.

He didn't have this habit of beating around the bushes. 

If he wanted something, he would use an exaggerated amount of brute force to take it. That was his character.

So Tang Yue could vaguely guess that this was Xavier's ploy and his alone.

Nevertheless, she felt a small pang of guilt within her.

Even though it was him who had pushed her into this mess in the first place, Xander still had come to her rescue without fail, each and every single time.

The gaze of the man's crimson orbs from the time he had asked her to come back with him was still etched into her brain.

Tang Yue was still undecided about a lot of things but not about this.

From the beginning, she had always planned to get this spirit smithing method for him or at least try her best to do so.

The man had knowingly or unknowingly helped her back at the labyrinth and this would be the way she repaid his kindness.

With this, their scores would be settled and she would be free to carry on with the rest of her plan.

She would be free to disappear from the eyes of the elves and the serpents forever.

Tang Yue's mind swirled with mixed emotions as she gripped the communication crystal in her hand.

She stepped out of bed and sensing her movements, Charlotte as well stirred awake.

"Eh? Yue, you are already up?" She rubbed her sleepy eyes and blinked.

"Shh Why don't you go back to sleep?" Tang Yue gently patted her. 

The frost of guilt in her heart expanded and spread to the rest of her body, as she gazed at Charlotte's warm smiling face.

When she eventually leaves and disappears, it was inevitable that she would be leaving this woman behind as well.

Without realizing it, Tang Yue slightly faltered and her resolve was subtly shaken.

This woman was she truly willing to part with this woman 

She was her one and only friend and maybe more...

"Hey. What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" 

Charlotte rubbed her face vigorously, worried that some unsightly drool was sticking to her face.

Tang Yue shook her head helplessly and chuckled at the girl's comic actions.

"Even if a bucket of drool was on your face, you would still be the most beautiful elf vixen." 

She teasingly pinched the woman's cheeks, making her instantly redden and cover her face with the blanket.

"I am going to make a bath for myself. Go back to bed." Tang Yue chuckled and left the room.

Little Blue immediately rushed over to her, though the cub could hardly be called little anymore.

Tang Yue patted the small wolf and rubbed its head when she sensed the other guy dying to get out.

She chuckled lightly and summoned out Little Plum.

The next instant another wolf appeared in front of her and the two sat obediently, wagging their tails like domesticated dogs.

With Little Blue and Little Plum, next to next, Tang Yue's eyes widened in surprise.

The two looked like twins with just the color of the streaks on their fur different and of course, their innate elemental affinity.

Little Plum and Little Blue as well looked at each other, one curiously and the other smugly.

The curious face turned slightly sour after seeing the smug face and a paw instantly went up in the air.

How could it then stop with just one paw?

In just a matter of seconds, right in front of Tang Yue, a full-fledged fight broke out, with Little Blue and Little Plum swiping at each other.

To make things worse, the fire panther which was watching these two from the sidelines, joined the fray without any invitation and started madly clawing at whatever it could reach.

Tang Yue opened and closed her mouth wordlessly as she stared at the mess in front of her. She could feel a headache coming.

"Stop it." She rubbed her temples and commanded, her voice tyrannical.

"Aren't you guys good brothers? Is this how you behave with each other? Hmmm?"

She sternly reprimanded them.

The two wolves immediately settled down and blinked at Tang Yue with adorable innocent expressions and big round eyes.

It was almost as if nothing had happened.

Only the panther looked confused, but it soon followed suit and put on a similar face.

Tang Yue's mouth twitched at this blatant act. She paused awhile, without saying anything.

At the same time, she sent a quick mental message to the old man.

"Master, will others be able to recognize Little Plum as an elemental?"

Tang Yue couldn't tell the difference herself, but she confirmed with the old man nevertheless.

"Hmm I don't think so little snake. At least a Deity realm expert cannot tell the difference."

"Unless that guy turns into a big ball of flame, like how you morph into your serpentine form, others shouldn't be able to tell the difference."

Tang Yue nodded. She then turned towards the three troublemakers and crossed her arms.

"You three go to the forest and run around. Don't make a ruckus here." 

"Come back when the sky darkens and help your brothers if they are in danger."

Tang Yue patiently gave out instructions to the three beasts and sent them running to the forests.

In fact, she had been thinking about this for a while now and considering various options. 

It was not the best for wild beasts to always remain docile and within the confines of a building.

Otherwise, they would simply end up being house pets.

But at the same time, Tang Yue didn't want to force them to train. 

Unlike her who never had the option to choose, she wanted them to have that privilege.

This was why she had simply commanded them to run around and not hunt or train.

Instead of forcing others' wishes onto them, she simply wanted them to do whatever they want.

Besides, even though she was only able to communicate mentally with Little Plum, she still had a mental link with both the beasts.

So she could always sense their presence and constantly monitor their well-being.

If any of them were ever in real danger, it would only take her a few seconds to reach them and come to their aide.

The forests around the royal city were also not very dangerous and Little Plum alone had enough strength to even hold back mid-grade beasts. 

So Tang Yue decided that it would be best if they occasionally wandered around by themselves.
