Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 272: New allies Part5

The two dwarves standing in front of her urged her, but Tang Yue hesitated. She was quickly going through different scenarios in her head.

The main problem was not these two dwarves themselves but the fact that she had to deal with them as a dwarf would.

Eating these dwarves was simply out of the question, but she can’t simply let them go too.

If she beats them up and lets them go, then they would probably return back with more manpower and bother her again.

So she definitely had to kill them. The question was how. 

She could use poison or she could purposefully trap them by luring them to a beast lair.

But what was the least suspicious way that she could kill them?

The answer to that question was, undoubtedly, to fight head-on.

Tang Yue knew that she couldn’t hide her cultivation base for much longer.

If she participated in that contest, the fact that she was in the Emperor realm would definitely be revealed.

While being in the Emperor realm was a big deal for the spirit beasts, it was not that special for the dwarves.

So she stopped thinking about this and immediately activated her dual mana cores.

Tang Yue had learned a couple of Earth magic spells from the merchants association. She decided to try them out first.

“Harden.” She calmly mumbled.

The faces of the two dwarves immediately changed. 

Though they were slightly intoxicated, the two dwarves were Martial realm experts and they could feel the strong oppressive aura from Tang Yue.

They also recognized the earth magic spell and blankly looked down to see the ground underneath them envelop their footing and harden.

The two dwarves were rooted to their spot within seconds, their feet imprisoned by the ground.

They tried moving and removing the shackle but to no avail. 

The soil had tightly hardened, making it difficult for them to move their feet at all.

“Damn it.” The bulkier one cursed. 

Who could have guessed that such a small girl was an expert stronger than them?

He immediately took out a sword from his spatial ring and waved it at Tang Yue. 

Watching him, the other dwarf also snapped out of his trance and quickly attacked Tang Yue.

Even though they were unable to move their feet, they were still able to wave their swords around.

Tang Yue calmly smiled. “What is this comedy? Are you guys performing a dance for me?”

“Bitch. You better let us go. My brother-in-law is a court official.” 

“If he doesn’t hear back from me, he will throw you in prison.”

“You will rot in the prison and will be raped by the soldiers.” 

“You better let us go. If you beg for mercy, maybe we will spare you.”

“Really?” Tang Yue mockingly raised her eyes brows. “Now, why didn’t you say so earlier?” She chuckled.

The other dwarf saw that she was not scared and started sweating. 

“Come on. Let us go. We will forget about all the debts.”

“You don’t have to pay us anything more. We will even return the gold coins we took from you.”

“This is between us and the drunkard. We have no grievances with you.”

“Tsk. Tsk.” Tang Yue clicked her tongue. “Isn’t it a little too late for all of this? You could have accepted the gold coins and simply left.”

“Then neither of us would have been in this pickle. But you had to get greedy and extort me.”

“I am sorry. You have left me with no choice. I am a young naive girl after all.” 

“I can’t afford to take chances and let you off today. Tomorrow this might cost me my life.”

Tang Yue shook her head and flicked her sword. She didn’t wait for their reply.

A blinding flash of light glinted from the sword and the next instant two heads rolled on the forest ground, spilling blood everywhere.

Sometimes the simplest most straightforward solution was the best possible solution.

So Tang Yue quickly finished off the pests which came her way.

But she knew that her problems were still far from being over and that she was still being watched. 

So Tang Yue casually wiped her sword and sent it back to her spatial ring hidden inside her robe and started walking back to the city as if nothing had happened.

There was absolutely no trace of emotion on her face. 

Both the prince and his lackey, who was tailing Tang Yue, were slightly surprised by this turn of events.

“Interesting,” Jorden muttered, a small smile surfacing on his lips.

His lackey, however, was confused. What was so interesting about this?

Two troublemakers approached a woman and harassed her. She lured them to the forests and silently finished them off.

This incident was not even the least bit interesting. 

In this era where the strong willfully acted, it was very common to settle personal grievances in this way.

In fact, even if someone complained about this murder to the court officials, it might still be ruled as a simple case of self-defense.

“Your highness. I don’t understand.” The dwarf scratched his head and mumbled.

“Did I miss something? Nothing out of ordinary happened here?”

“Are we going to punish that young lady for dealing with the two imbeciles?” He curiously asked.

Jorden, however, didn’t say anything and simply nodded.

He then silently muttered under his breath after pausing for a while.

“Nothing out of ordinary happened. That’s what is interesting.”

The lackey didn’t miss this part and nodded absentmindedly as he finally understood.

If the young dwarven girl hadn’t sensed their presence at all, then it was a simple matter.

But what if she had sensed their presence and still dared to act like this?

Or even worse… what if she had put on a show for them?

The lackey gulped and stared at Jorden’s back as he walked towards the city. 

True to his reputation, this man was indeed extremely astute. The lackey sighed in awe.

“Your highness, are we going to arrest her?” He jogged a bit to catch on with the dwarven prince and asked.

“No. No.” Jorden chuckled. “It is the opposite. I have a feeling that she might one day become our strongest ally.”

Jorden didn’t bother to further explain his thoughts behind those words and his lackey silently nodded. 

He knew better than to ask the Prince unnecessary questions.

While these two returned back to the dwarven palace, Tang Yue as well returned back to the smithy.

Charlotte was already standing at the smithy entrance and was fixing the broken door with a new one.

“Yue, what happened here?” She waved her hand and asked with a beautiful smile on her lips.

Tang Yue didn’t want to worry her unnecessarily. “Nothing. This shitty place is just falling apart.” She lied.

Charlotte chuckled and quickly dragged Tang Yue inside to show her the newest addition to their team.

A small black panther cub was lazily lying next to Little Blue and trying its best to play with it.

But Little Blue, of course, acted all high and mighty and didn’t play with the new guy.

As soon as it saw Tang Yue, it sprang towards her in a single leap, completely ignoring the new cub.

Tang Yue covered her mouth with her fingers and laughed heartily.

“You selected a flame panther?”

“Yes. Yes. What do you think about my selection?” 

Charlotte eagerly asked, picking up the pouting little panther cub in her hands.

Unlike Little Blue, the flame panther cub was actually a mid-grade beast with a higher potential.

So it was a pretty good selection. Moreover, the cub also looked very easygoing and non-aggressive.

As Charlotte held the fidgeting panther cub in her hands and waited eagerly for Tang Yue’s response, the duo looked extremely adorable.

Tang Yue couldn’t help but chuckle and gave a big thumbs up. 

“You two are indeed perfect. Let me help you make the contract.”

The girls busied themselves and cleared things on the ground.

Tang Yue then helped Charlotte draw the intricately patterned rune on the smithy’s floor.

Once everything was finished, Charlotte dripped some of her blood onto the rune pattern and the contract was immediately activated.

Charlotte felt a strong pull on her soul as the binding process smoothly progressed.

They were in fact done with the whole thing in a matter of minutes.

Charlotte felt a shiver travel through her body and the panther energetically growled.

“Waaah! This is so amazing! Thank you so much, Yue.”

“In normal contract, I definitely never felt such a strong connection.”

“Maybe when the cub grows more, I can even mentally communicate with it?”

Tang Yue had never thought about that herself. “Maybe.” She smiled and replied.

“Now I can take these two guys to hunt every day.” She happily clapped her hands.

Why is she getting so happy about something so trivial? Xander facepalmed.

He silently looked at the scene and didn’t say much. He was still thinking about Jorden.
