Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 313: Your snake is fiesty Part1

Weeks passed by quickly as both Tang Yue and Charlotte busied themselves with work. 

They trained every minute of the day and sparred with each other in the night honing their swordplay.

Tang Yue's smithing technique was steadily improving and she was almost done with refining the big batch of Kirrion ore chunks.

And thanks to her sparring partner, her sword technique was also improving by leaps and bounds.

This in fact made her realize something Charlotte was not someone to be messed with!!!

The woman looked gentle and tender, as meek as a kitten when she kissed her and loved her, but when she held a sword in her hands, her shrewd and cunning side came out. 

Charlotte's sword technique was not as profound as Tang Yue's but the woman still blocked each and every single one of her moves.

Even if she suffered a defeat the previous day, she only came back stronger and fiercer the next day.

She matched even Tang Yue's tenacity and fought with her with voracious hunger.

They motivated each other and as a result, their skill level surged exponentially.

Even the crafty old man had to admit his initial mistake in wanting to simply use Charlotte as bait and escape.

The two women perfectly complimented each other and together they were much stronger.

Not just the old man, even the dwarf was impressed.

Miller squinted his eyes, looking at the two women. 

One was cultivating sincerely, her eyes closed and fire elemental mana surging around her, while the other was hammering a bulky metal chunk.

In just a few weeks both of them had progressed a lot, their speed even capable of making other geniuses envy them.

Miller could tell that something was different now, but he just couldn't put his finger on it.

The two seemed a bit too unusually happy even when doing extremely boring hard physical training.

Miller sighed and helplessly shook his head. He couldn't help but assume that it was him who had lost his perceptiveness.

"Are you two heading out today as well?" He asked the duo, as they finished their respective daily training and stood in front of him, their heads gracefully bowed.

Tang Yue nodded and Charlotte as well did so.

"How many have you killed so far?" Miller asked.

"Ten, master." Tang Yue answered him.

"Be careful then. They will probably start sending stronger experts now."

"You are still not in the Demi-God realm, so don't be over-confident."

"Always look out for hidden dangers and unexpected moves. Be prepared for everything."

Miller advised them both and sent them on their way. 

Wagging their tails behind Tang Yue and Charlotte, who were both in their disguises, were two adult wolves and one panther.

The beasts snarled and growled fiercely as if they were ready for anything that came their way.

They had also been training rigorously and this confidence stemmed from their daily battles.

And so, after restocking their supplies, the group then moved silently and stealthily in the middle of the night.

But their movements were not awkward. They knew what path they were taking and traveled in the shadows.

In fact, these past few days Tang Yue and Charlotte had been heading out regularly every single night for this new fun activity.

It was open season on them and they kind-heartedly decided to make themselves available for their hunters. Even going out of their way to do so.

News about Tang Yue had spread far and wide in Eldoria, her disguise now known to all interested parties.

So how could the elven elders still remain leisurely?

Several teams had been sent out to capture Tang Yue alive and if that was not possible to assassinate and kill her on the spot.

But unfortunately, no good news had yet reached their ears and their losses were piling on.

The first time Tang Yue noticed someone's eyes trailing her, she immediately made a plan.

The duo had rounded up a few groups in the forest, with Tang Yue single-handedly luring them in, and then mercilessly slaughtering the entire bunch.

Both Tang Yue and Charlotte were in the Saint realm and these Emperor realm experts were nothing in front of them.

Tang Yue did not even need to lift her finger and directly unleashed her mental attacks and made them kill each other.

The beasts then feasted on their remains and not even a single bone was left behind.

But as soon as they took care of the first set of attackers, another set popped up.

And this time, they were Saint realm experts as well.

However, there were only two of them.

The two women faced one each and the fights were over before they began, Charlotte burning her opponent down to ashes and Tang Yue sinking her fangs into hers.

And so, the duo headed out again tonight, their anticipation running high.

They were expecting a group of Saint realm experts at the least, if not even a partial Demi-God expert.

But Tang Yue was not intimidated. She believed in her own capabilities and her trump card.

And there was also her Master, the dwarf Miller, who secretively followed behind them every night.

How could he possibly let his two treasured disciples venture out to these life and death battles all by themselves?

He never intervened but he still followed them every night.

The group traveled fast and soon reached the outskirts of the royal city.

But they did not stop there. They proceeded to enter the forests, heading deep into the vast hilly regions.

Only when they were completely away from the prying eyes in the city, the duo stopped. 

The beasts running behind them stopped as well.

The two women then looked at each other in silent understanding and nodded.

They both could clearly sense that they were not alone in these forests and their enemies stood, not too far from them.

Tang Yue grinned as she calmly undid her disguise. 

Her long forked tongue flickered in and out and her hands gripped her soul sword tightly. It was almost time!
