Hidden genius: Black belly snake - Chapter 318: Little Plum is a glutton Part1

After completely cleaning out the spatial rings in their laps, Tang Yue and Charlotte then leisurely headed back home.

The elf gazed at the snake who seemed to be humming with a very content face.

“Why are you this happy?” She asked.

“Heh. Why shouldn’t I be?”

“It’s a beautiful night and I am walking through a beautiful forest with a beautiful woman.” Tang Yue hummed.

“Eh? I won’t believe it. You are a hard-working maniac. Tell me the truth.”

“Did you get something nice from the rings?” Charlotte scoffed and asked curiously.

She knew the woman next to her a little too well to believe her mischievous lies.

“Hai. Hai. I admit defeat. Teasing you is no fun these days. I did indeed find something good.”

Tang Yue took out a scroll from her ring and passed it along to Charlotte.

“Take a look at this.”

Charlotte’s eyes widened as she glanced at the scroll.

The contents were clearly inscribed and described the technique of summoning demons from another realm.

However, things were obviously not that simple.

Even with the technique, not everyone could summon demons left and right.

Apparently, one needed an extremely high affinity to the dark elemental in order to achieve such a feat.

Not just that, there were other requirements as well, one of them being that the summoner should have formed a dark elemental seed, which means they had to be in the Saint realm.

When a higher being is first able to sense mana in the air around them and is able to pull the mana into their body, circulating it in their meridians and blood vessels, this makes them a Mortal realm expert.

When this mana then takes root in their body and forms a core in their cultivation center, this makes them a Martial realm expert.

When this core fills to the brim and is overflowing with abundant energy, this means that they are at the Emperor realm.

And when finally this abundance of energy is shrunk back to a pea sized bead, a foundation is established and a seed is formed, making the cultivator a Saint realm expert.

Tang Yue and Charlotte both gazed at the scroll for a few minutes before putting it back in.

Neither of them had a dark elemental affinity, at least just yet and hence they had no use for this scroll right now.

But since it was a powerful technique, Tang Yue stored it with her irrespectively.

As soon as she thought about dark elemental affinity, Charlotte thought of a certain someone and gulped nervously.

This was a thorn in her heart because she knew how Tang Yue felt.

So even though she was reluctant, she still brought the topic up.

“This… Should we give a copy of this technique to his highness Xander?”

Tang Yue’s footsteps slightly paused, but then she continued walking along normally.

“No need.” She mumbled. She didn’t want to face that man again.

The two continued walking in silence, their good mood a little sour after talking about ‘he who should not be named’.

However, a few minutes later, Tang Yue again paused, sighing helplessly.

The elves were terrible, rotten to the core and she hated them, but the damned lunatic was not one of the bad ones.

He was trying his best to help with the current toxic situation and he was the one who had put the maximum effort to bring about a peaceful balance.

So mulling over it for a while, she decided to keep her personal grievances aside and send a copy of the technique over to him irrespectively.

In truth, Tang Yue had no particular reason to be upset with the man but she was angry nevertheless.

As they walked back, she made a copy of the technique and sent it over to the man without saying anything more.

These were just some small contributions on her part to what was about to come, so she didn’t think too much about it.

She also didn’t expect any repercussions for such a small thing, but alas… if only she had known…

After Tang Yue and Charlotte cleared the traces of their battle and headed back to the dwarven royal city, leaving behind the forest, a group of three individuals stuck their heads outside.

Tang Xi did not like either of the goblins and considered it beneath her to team up with them.

However, at this moment, even she had to accept that she had lucked out and was thankful for the two goblins, otherwise, she would have once again foolishly suffered a crushing defeat against the damned slut.

Ginko, being the cautious person that he was had warned her to first wait and observe Tang Yue for a while before attacking again.

This was the sole reason she was alive right now, else wouldn’t have noticed Tang Yue’s change or the Demi-God dwarf who was always hovering around her.

Tang Xi glared at the distance where Tang Yue and Charlotte and the three beasts vanished into.

How the hell did she become so powerful in such a short time? Her brain was unable to digest or even believe what she had seen just a while ago.

Tang Yue’s strength had increased by leaps and bounds compared to how she was just a couple of months ago.

Not only that but a Demi-God realm expert was tailing her and protecting her in secret.

She thought that the dwarf had simply accepted her as a disciple on a whim but from the looks of it… things were not that simple.

Her eyes squinted as her heart burned with a fit of unquenchable jealousy.

Tang Yue had everything! The damned bitch had everything and then some more!

And all she had was… scars and endless pain.

Why were the heavens so unfair!

Ginko noticed Tang Xi’s frustration and sighed silently.

He didn’t know what the woman was thinking but he was almost sure that their thoughts were about the same thing.

Tang Yue’s frightening growth and improvement! That woman was a monster and he had no doubt about it!

Just a few months ago, he had seen her struggle with a low-grade crocodile beast.

Perhaps if he had killed her right then and there, while she was still in a weak and vulnerable state, things wouldn’t have become so complicated.

But now… touching her almost seems impossible.

The goblin sighed helplessly and his eyes shifted to his comrade Gale, who looked at him with an annoyed expression.

Ginko gulped and turned away in embarrassment, unable to face the shame.

The truth was that Gale knew his dark secret and how they had trailed the weak snake spirit beast that time in the past.

He had even repeatedly asked him to take action while Ginko refused to do it and adamantly observed being a little too cautious.

So he couldn’t meet the goblin’s eyes and looked away whistling shamelessly.

And when Tang Xi walked a good distance away from them, he whispered in his brother’s ears.

“Listen, please don’t tell her about the past.” The man smiled bitterly. “She might even kill me out of anger.”

Gale coldly harrumphed without saying anything in return. “Whatever idiot.” He muttered and walked away.

The ever so cautious Ginko then followed the two, cursing his bad luck and reminiscing about his missed opportunity.

“What are you two chattering about?” Tang Xi turned around and asked in annoyance.

“Nothing. Nothing.”

“By the way, I have been meaning to ask you, did you try using mental attacks at all? During that fight?”

Gale asked curiously and Ginko as well perked up his ears to listen intently.

They had no idea about how illusion magic worked so they couldn’t even tell if Tang Xi tried anything or not.

Tang Xi looked at the two and hissed with a pensive expression.

“I didn’t. If I had done so, the Demi-God would have sensed our presence and our killing intent.”

“He would have easily killed us before I even finished casting the spell.”

She then paused a while, an ominous silence prevailing in the darkness of the night.

“Something tells me that the next time there is a fight, that will be our chance.”

“These were peak Saint realm experts. Who do you think the elves will send next?”

“That is our only opportunity. We need to act during that fight and cripple her using mental attacks.”

“Even if we don’t successfully cripple her, we can at the least manage to distract her momentarily and make our escape.”

“Tang Yue’s opponent then can finish the fight easily.”

Tang Xi explained her plan to the two goblins, who also seemingly agreed with her and nodded their heads.

As far as they were concerned, all bets were already placed and everything rode on the capabilities of the next group the elves send in order to kill or capture Tang Yue.

With a Demi-God watching over her closely, that was their only play!
