Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 142: Unleashing the twins Part1

Ding. Congratulations. New Skill obtained.

[Enslave] - Active skill, Host is able to bend the mind of a lower realm target to will.

.

Tang Yue gulped. Her emerald eyes gleamed as she gazed at the last notification again.

Enslave! The forbidden illusion magic spell!

This was a powerful spell that was banned in Eldoria. 

Any use of this spell would be detected and would get her instantly imprisoned.

But still, it was one of the ultimate life-saving tools that a serpentine clan member could possess. 

So Tang Yue was happy to be able to cast it.

Thanks to her mental strength already reaching the Emperor realm, her illusion magic had also gone up several levels and she had even gained this new skill to boot. 

This was incredible news. 

The snake was grinning cheek to cheek as she drooled at the sight of these awesome upgrades.

And not just these! She had also leveled up twice! With the lucky wheel reward for fast leveling also waiting for her! 

This was an awesome haul. Tang Yue couldn't stop smiling.

"This is what other clan geniuses might feel like huh? Slashing through one bottleneck after another like slashing through the mud!"

"Ha Ha Ha. This feels great! This Missy is also a genius now. Hmph."

The snake indulged herself in a small narcissistic celebratory giggle for a bit but then decided to check out the rest of the notifications later on.

After all, she had spent way too much time in the alchemy association than she had originally intended to.

In fact, she was not even sure just how much time had passed.

It was better that she hurried back to the palace and then admired the fruits of her hard work and her awesome self.

Tang Yue grinned and quickly walked out of the alchemy association gates.

Lotte who had been patiently waiting for her immediately ran over to her.

"Your highness. Your highness." The elf bowed and greeted her.

Tang Yue revealed a bright smile and patted him.

Ah~ Lotte awkwardly blushed a little. 

He didn't know why but the princess looked much more charming and enchanting than usual.

But he hastily snapped out of it and filled Tang Yue in on the details.

"Damn it. I didn't think I stayed in that state for three whole days. No wonder I was ravenous when I woke up."

"Phew. It was good that at least the contest had been postponed."

"Otherwise, all my efforts would have been for naught."

"Why was it postponed suddenly? Wasn't it a big event involving all of Eldoria? How come it was delayed?" Tang Yue curiously asked Lotte.

"That That" Lotte stammered. 

He didn't know why the Princess was asking him, even though she was rumored to be the reason behind it.

"Your highness" 

Lotte then hesitantly filled Tang Yue in on the details regarding the Crown Prince's special visit to her chamber and how he had stayed with her until this morning.

He also told her that the Prince had personally postponed the contest because of her.

"Huh? What did you say?" Tang Yue blurted out, her mouth wide agape in shock and fear. 

No. No. That is definitely not possible. Tang Yue simply refused to believe it.

She couldn't possibly believe such a wild concept.

"Did someone actually see him enter my chamber?" She asked Lotte again.

"Ah That. No. They are just rumors, your highness. I apologize. I have no idea what actually happened." 

Lotte explained, even though he believed that this was true.

This particular rumor started spreading from a pair of loudly gossiping Generals on their way out of the palace quarters. So he had an inkling that this was true.

But Tang Yue still refused to believe it. 

There was absolutely no way that the swindling monster could have cared about her so much that he sat next to her for three whole days and nights. That just could not be true.

She refused to be a fool and believe in some random gossip, which probably had spread because she was his personal disciple.

"It's fine. It doesn't matter. It's a good thing that the contest has been postponed. Let's just leave it at that." Tang Yue resolutely nodded and continued walking back to the royal palace.

Since she was almost out of the Mortal realm, except for her cultivation base, every step she took felt lighter and faster, and Lotte was panting out of breath just to catch up with her.

Tang Yue chuckled lightly and slowed down a bit to help out the elf. 

She even advised him as if she was the authority on the matter. "Ha Ha. You should work harder and step out of Mortal realm soon, Lotte."

Her head was high and her gaze lingered in the distance making her seem as if she was an almighty aloof immortal offering advice to a haggard mortal.

Even Lotte looked at her weirdly. Is the Princess not feeling too well today? He wondered.

But he put that aside and continued filling her in on the various important news, the last of which being

"Your highness, your mother and your sister has been waiting for you these past couple of days."

"They have Ummm visited the royal palace every day and asked to meet with you."

Lotte didn't have the heart to tell Tang Yue in the same manner as Hinata filled him in and so he gave her a censored version of the truth.

But knowing her stepmother and her foul mouth a bit too well, Tang Yue could immediately guess what had happened.

And, she could also more or less guess why they were devotedly looking for her.

The aloof cool look on her face faded and was now replaced by a grin similar to the one Xander had displayed, one part wicked and ten parts of evil.

Her beloved step-mother and dearest sister had dared to kick her out of her own palace, back at the Zither palace.

Tang Yue was busy earlier so she chose to ignore the duo then.

But now it was time for retribution! Let's have some fun bitches!

The snake grinned as she licked her fangs and flickered her long forked tongue in and out.
