Hidden genius: Black belly snake - Chapter 305: Little Blue vs Little Plum Part10

“Brother, how are you going to handle things this time around?” Xavier asked Xander as the two brothers walked out of the Emperor’s seclusion palace.

They were just returning back from another meeting with the elven high council elders.

It had already been almost an entire lunar cycle since Tang Yue was given her special orders and the elders were getting restless.

In reality, other than Tang Xi, Ginko and Gale, several other teams were also loitering around in the dwarven royal city.

They were not just elves, but also orcs, fairies, and even dwarves.

Everyone was paid and ordered by one or many of the elders to capture Tang Yue alive rather than assassinate her.

Their main intention was to refine her brain and find out what had actually happened within the labyrinth.

But until now, none of the teams had managed to even get a whiff of her existence, let alone capture her.

Things became simpler for them when a few weeks ago Xander and Xavier had personally guarded a dwarven girl, thereby giving away Tang Yue’s identity entirely.

However, unluckily for them, after that incident Tang Yue was constantly in the presence of a Demi-God level expert, dwarf Miller.

So in the end, even when they knew where Tang Yue was and her identity, they still were not able to do anything to her.

This made the elders extremely furious.

And now that the time they had given Tang Yue was also running out, they shamelessly called for another meeting and put Xander on the spot, berating him for not keeping his word.

But how could Xander be bullied that easily?

The man patiently listened to all the harsh words from the elders and their hypocritical ramblings and in the end, said only one thing.

“So what?”

He then nonchalantly stood up and walked out of the meeting in front of everyone.

Even though Xander had always been at odds with these council elders, this was the first time he openly defied their orders and walked out.

There was surely going to be a consequence for this, but he didn’t care.

He knew that these men were no match for Tang Yue and all she needed now was a bit of time.

And Xander had no qualms about buying this small amount of time for her, even if it meant sacrificing his position as the Crown Prince.

“I swear those old assholes never give it a rest!!! I am so furious!!!” Xavier angrily grumbled.

“These old bitches. They think that they are all that huh!”

“If they didn’t amass so many resources for themselves in the past, not a single one would even be at the Saint realm now!!! Ptui!”

For some reason, Xavier was far more furious about this matter compared to Xander himself.

Not out of the goodness of his heart but because with Xander out of the picture, everyone’s attention will once again fall on him, the eldest son, and his carefree life of bedding beast girls day in and day out will disappear for eternity.

So Xavier continued to whine and nag Xander, begging him not to act rashly.

Xander, however, was hardly paying any attention to him.

His thoughts laid somewhere else and he was upset about something entirely unrelated.

If he had known beforehand that things were going to turn out in this way, he would have never allowed Tang Yue to even step out of Eldoria.

But now, so many weeks had passed by and the damned girl still showed no signs of returning.

More importantly, that damned slut was also clinging onto her!

This was absolutely the worst case scenario for him!!!

Xander sighed and cursed his bad luck constantly mulling over this disaster again and again.

General Salvatore, unfortunately, was the person who received the full brunt of his wrath.

The man was sent on menial missions and he was constantly scolded and bullied by Xander, so much so that the old General was one time close to tears.

He was, once upon a time, a favored right hand man of Xander.

The General was also extremely loyal to him.

So it drove him crazy not knowing the reason for this sudden change in Xander’s attitude.

But unfortunately, his misfortune did not end any time soon and continued to this day, as did Xander’s bad mood.

And especially since they were currently returning back from the unpleasant meeting, Xander’s aura was desolate, bleak, and frosty.

Thus, the two elven princes, one grumbling and the other silent, both walked shoulder to shoulder strolling through the darkness, immersed in their foul mood.

But suddenly…

An inconspicuous jade slip appeared on Xander’s hand.

And then another…

And then another…

And then another…

It was raining jade slips!

“What the heck? Who is sending you so many messages?” Xavier curiously craned his neck and looked at the bundle of jade slips in Xander’s hands.

Unlike him, Xander did not look pleased. He was rather very worried.

Frown lines covered his face and he feared that Tang Yue might be in some sort of trouble.

So he ignored his nosy brother standing next to him and quickly started going through the messages.

He crushed the jade slips one by one and Tang Yue’s sweet hesitant voice washed over him in waves.

[I am fine.]

[I am fine. Thank you.]

[Thank you for the help. I am doing well.]

[You jerk! You jerk! You jerk! You hateful jerk!]

[I am fine now. I have a mentor and I am learning how to forge weapons.]

[You are a bad kisser! Sloppy and slobbery!]

[I am doing well. I met someone who is willing to teach me smithing. Thank you for your help.]

[I am fine and will most likely be returning soon. How are you doing?]

…

…

…

As the messages echoed one by one, Xander’s anxious and worried face slowly changed.

His thin lips curled up in amusement and the man’s eyes shone with warmth.

It didn’t take long for him to figure out that the woman had clearly messed up using the jade slips.

He was sure that she didn’t mean to send any of this.

An image of her embarrassed face popped up in his brain and Xander instantly burst into a fit of laughter.

He badly wanted to pinch her cheeks and tease her until she turned purple.

He patiently listened to each and every single message intently and even recorded it all again.

He could then hear her voice whenever he wanted.

This thought made him extremely happy and in an instant, all his bad mood disappeared.

However, standing next to Xander, Xavier was completely dumbstruck.

His ice block, frigid, villainous, cold-blooded, ruthless brother was melting into a puddle right in front of his eyes!!!

What black magic was this!!! What heresy was this!!!

Xavier was utterly shocked.

“Brother… You… You…” The man could only weakly mumble, the rest of his words caught in his throat.

His squeaky sounds, unfortunately, only reminded Xander of his presence and the man immediately turned around and looked at him like a ferocious beast.

His long white hair fluttered in the darkness of the night and his crimson orbs simmered dangerously.

“What the heck??? Why are you reacting like this???” Xavier took a few steps back in alarm.

“Did I peak at your wife while she was bathing? Didn’t I just listen in on a few stupid nonsensical messages?”

“Why are you over-reacting, you bastard? Is this how you treat your beloved brother?”

With every word he spoke, Xavier didn’t forget to also take a step back and after he finished saying his piece, the man successfully ran away, fleeing and disappearing from the monster at lightning speed.

This brother of this was truly hateful!

With the eavesdropper finally gone, Xander returned back to his warm and sunny place, enjoying and replaying the messages sent to him by a certain snake.

Xavier, on the other hand, only calmed down when he put a good distance between him and his stupid hen-pecked brother.

He thought that he had a weakness for beast girls and vixens, but who knew that his virgin brother was worse than him!!!

Xavier sighed at the unfairness of the world and lamented his plight when suddenly a thought entered his brain.

Since both he and Xander had a thing for the beasts, maybe their father preferred them as well.

He then nodded slowly and seriously, as if he had uncovered some dark and ancient secret.

A few hours later, Xavier returned back to this private quarters in the elven palace and buried himself in the comfort of his beautiful concubines.

Only then he felt completely relaxed and in his element.

As the man caressed a beauty in his arms, he suddenly got another idea, this time a more useful one.

He abruptly left the beauty in the bed itself and took out a jade slip.

He then sent Tang Yue a long message about how Xander was in hot water with the elders.

“He He He. Now I should be safe.”

The man sheepishly smiled and returned back to his mischief.
