Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 261: Memories of the past Part2

A few hours after she consumed the Devil Awakening Pill, Tang Yue woke up with a blinding headache. 

In front of her, a couple of adorable faces dangled, looking extremely worried and concerned.

“Big sis, are you okay?”

“Yue, are you feeling better?”

Charlotte and Xander simultaneously asked her.

Tang Yue shook her head slowly. 

She ignored the couple of notifications that popped up in front of her.

She had successfully tempered her mind from the Silver-tier Emperor realm to the Gold-tier Emperor realm.

Just like she had expected, the gain this time was drastically lower but it was still decent enough to boost her mental strength to the next tier.

Tang Yue was actually not too concerned about this at the moment.

She looked like she was in a daze and her mind was struggling to remember something rather important.

But for some reason, she just couldn’t put a finger on that thought.

During a person’s mental trials, one often relived their worst nightmare and Tang Yue was no different.

She vaguely knew that she dreamed about the night that her mother disappeared.

However, she still felt that she had forgotten something important.

She even closed her eyes and tried to think about it for several minutes, but she couldn’t remember at all.

Tang Yue sighed in disappointment. 

“Okay. One problem at a time. I should just focus on forging weapons for now.”

She clapped her cheeks and took a few deep breaths, snapping out of that haze.

“What did you dream about, Yue?” Charlotte blurted out without thinking, regretting it as soon as the words came out.

“Ummm…” Tang Yue slightly hesitated.

“It’s okay. It’s okay. You don’t have to tell me. I actually didn’t mean to ask.” Charlotte hurriedly spoke.

Tsk. Tsk. Xander inwardly scoffed. Stupid woman!

Xander, very badly, wanted to know what it was that tormented Tang Yue. 

Solving a problem like that was the easiest way to a woman’s heart.

But it looked like he was not going to get his answer. He disappointedly shook his head.

However, the next instant, he heard Tang Yue talking.

“It’s nothing much. My mother left me when I was younger. That’s my personal nightmare.” She smiled bitterly.

“Ah…” Charlotte nodded her head. She couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for her.

She now understood Tang Yue’s attitude towards the old dwarf Kosa better.

She saw that Tang Yue was clearly affected by this and didn’t pry into the painful topic further.

“So are you planning to try smithing the Molium chunks again?” Charlotte changed the subject.

“Mmm… yes. Before I start, do you also want to use the Devil Awakening pills?” Tang Yue asked. “I can stand guard for you.”

Charlotte shook her head. “No. No need. I am not in any hurry. I know you are preparing for the contest. So you focus on that first.”

“Aren’t you a bit too good to me these days?” Tang Yue chuckled and tousled the woman’s silky hair playfully as she stood up, immediately eliciting a blush from the elf.

She then went back to the grind and started working on the slab of metal again.

Even though Silver-tier and Gold-tier Emperor realms were not too far apart in level, Tang Yue could still feel the difference in her capabilities when she tried to refine the same metal.

This time when she tried refining the higher-grade Mollium ore, Tang Yue actually wore Xander’s special mana replenishing earrings.

Every hit she landed on the ore chunk, carried a heavy punch behind it, but her mana was still being drained at a rapid pace.

“Hmm… I guess my current cultivation base is just not enough.” She sighed.

Tang Yue didn’t fret too much about it and continued the same pain-staking process again and again, repeatedly, taking small breaks in between.

Since this in itself was a sort of cultivation, she didn’t have to specifically sit around and improve her cultivation base.

A few days passed by quickly just like this. Tang Yue was a cultivation maniac and she worked hard from dawn to dusk.

Xander, aimlessly, lazed around the house and acted cute as if there was no tomorrow.

If his Generals back home knew what he was doing, they would cry incessantly and vomit blood, considering that they were overworking and picking up slack on behalf of him.

Charlotte rolled her eyes at the lazy bum. 

She couldn’t be as useless as him and ended up taking Little Blue on hunting trips on her own.

The wolf was more than happy to accompany her since it was a predator by nature and more than that, it also wanted to become as powerful and cool as its master.

And of course, the other person in that small run down smithy continued drinking and sleeping, without even caring about any of these new developments in the slightest.

He was almost as lazy as Xander, except for the fact that he got up every now and then to refill his booze supplies.

The drunken guy ever so often threw a couple of glances in Tang Yue’s direction but returned back to his cot wordlessly with a smug expression on his face.

Tang Yue didn’t bother with him. This arrangement worked for her at the moment. So she ignored him and focused on her skills.

Apart from the dagger, sword, and saber molds, Tang Yue had also purchased different armors and gauntlet molds.

Even though she was still unable to manufacture even a single mid-grade or higher grade weapon, she had accumulated quite a bit of low-grade pieces of equipment that she personally manufactured.

They all had a myriad combination of special attributes that could shock anyone.

The dwarven royal city also had an auction house but didn’t plan on selling anything any time soon.

She didn’t need the money and she didn’t want to create some sort of commotion unintentionally.

She wanted to save up all the spectacles and fireworks for the actual smithing contest!
