Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 125: Nooooooooooo Part5

Amidst the silence of the night, a shadow flickered in the distance as if it was a part of the darkness itself.

Only someone who possessed an extraordinary affinity with the dark element could achieve such a feat.

The shadow effortlessly flickered from one building to another, quickly approaching the zither palace in the south.

It even reached the palace's main gates, but right at this moment, the shadow stopped.

It paused for a minute as if the person was pondering something. 

Soon, the pair of thin lips curved upwards and a cold chuckle sounded, echoing in the silence of the night.

Both Tang Zuelo and Tang Xi woke up from their deep slumber in alarm. Several guards as well quickly rushed over to the main gate.

"Who is there?"

"Who is there?" 

"What happened?"

Everyone including Tang Zuelo and Tang Xi was perplexed. 

"Why are you all standing here simply? Go look around. Do your jobs better. Hmph." Tang Zuelo shouted annoyedly. 

Since she was woken up in the middle of her sleep, her voice sounded worse than the usual shrill high pitched tone.

The guards immediately scattered away and started looking around to see if they could spot any intruder, but whoever it was their presence and their aura had long since disappeared and vanished completely

"What do you think Xiao Xi? Are you able to sense anyone?" Tang Zuelo asked her daughter, her face full of concern.

Since the mother and daughter pair had only just arrived at Eldoria, they were still walking on eggshells and pretty nervous about everything.

"If only we were allowed to stay at the main royal palace, then none of this would have happened. Hmph." She spat out in anger.

"Mhmm." Tang Xi nodded absent-mindedly.

"But mother, don't you think that this is better?" She asked after a while.

"What do you mean, Xiao Xi?" Tang Zuelo curiously spoke.

"Today morning, did you notice anything different mother?" Tang Xi mumbled with a glint in her eyes.

"Huh? No?" Tang Zuelo was confused.

Tang Xi chuckled. "Did you see that my dear sister is no longer a cripple?"

"What? What are you saying?" Tang Zuelo was shocked. She sat up ramrod straight. "Is this really true?"

Tang Xi gently nodded.

"How could that be possible? No No No. That trash cannot be allowed to recover." Tang Zuelo grit her teeth in anger.

Her husband and Tang Yue's father, Tang Shen had loved his first wife dearly. Once upon a time, he had also deeply cared for and doted on Tang Yue.

No one knew what happened, but one day the mother disappeared and the daughter was crippled. Only then the tides slowly started to change.

And now she had magically recovered again? Tang Zuelo trembled in fury. Nothing was going her way!

First this marriage and now this bad news!

"We have been cheated! Utterly cheated!" Tang Zuelo clutched her head and lamented.

"Look at the damned luck of that damned trash. Not only is she treated nicely in the elven kingdom but the prince was even kind enough to personally cure her."

"If that trash was somehow completely cured, then the only possibility is that the Crown Prince helped her with it."

"Otherwise, how could that trash have possibly achieved something like this on her own?"

"Hmph. Here I thought she was good for nothing. But look at her, she is indeed skilled in spreading her legs."

"Somehow she has seduced that powerful man to personally treat her illness."

Tang Xi nodded. She had as well arrived at the same conclusion.

The mother and the daughter pair silently stared at each other as more and more things became clearer to them.

"Damn it. We have made a grave error, Tang Xi. We should have never let that cripple marry into the elven royal family."

"It looks like every rumor we heard is false and every nasty comment about the prince being a ruthless cold-blooded killer is untrue."

"See how well he has treated this trash!"

"Tsk. Tsk. If only you had married into the royal family, then with your talents and supreme body constitution, you could have already become the queen consort."

"Damn it. Damn it. Damn it all." Tang Zuelo lamented loudly, deeply saddened by how things had turned out.

Tang Xi, however, still remained calm. Her eyes had an unfathomable expression.

"It's not too late, mother." She murmured.

"Ah." Tang Zuelo immediately looked at her in surprise. "That's right! It's not too late indeed!"

"The Prince is obviously not too taken with her. Otherwise, why would he make that slut stay so far away from him?"

"That too, I heard that the elven royals had an unquenchable appetite in bed."

[Meanwhile Somewhere in the elven royal palace, prince Xavier suddenly broke into a fit of sneezes and rubbed his nose. "Someone is talking and thinking about me." He chuckled. "I wonder which beauty"]

"This trash obviously must not have satisfied him. That's why he kicked her out."

"You definitely have a chance!!"

"Xiao Xi, practice very hard and try to impress the Crown prince in the upcoming contest. We will slowly correct this stupid blunder."

"You will soon be able to replace that useless thing as the royal consort and become the queen consort even."

"With your talent, nothing is impossible. Hmph."

"He might be a little sweet on that trash, but with your graceful figure and elegance, he will surely dote on you endlessly."

"Ha Ha. I doubt that he would even let you out of his sight, my adorable Xiao Xi."

"Then it's only a matter of time before you become the next queen."

Tang Xi blushed slightly at her mother's teasing words. "Mother. Stop it."

"Ha Ha. Don't be so humble child." Tang Zuelo prattled on endlessly for the rest of the night.

While the mother and the daughter pair busied themselves with their scheming and plotting discussions, the shadowy figure that had disrupted their night's sleep was now headed towards the inn at which Tang Yue was staying.
