Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 225: Someone who has everything Part1

The carriages took a couple of short breaks in between but they more or less continuously trudged along and reached the destination sooner than expected.

Unlike the elven lands, the dwarven villages were located on hilly terrain. 

So the carriages had to travel on steep uphill for several hours before they reached the outskirts of the dwarven empire.

And once they were well within the dwarven lands, one by one, the carriages started leaving the group, heading towards their respective villages.

As they neared Yana's village, Tang Yue's carriage was stopped and Zinya waved at her.

"Sister, we are almost here. Let me ride with you. Brother Barton is heading towards his village."

"Sure." Tang Yue nodded. 

Zinya smiled and hopped onto Tang Yue's carriage.

As soon as she sat down inside the carriage, the young dwarven girl immediately extended her hands to pinch the little kid's cheeks.

"Ah What a cute looking hybrid!" She smiled.

But unexpectedly, the kid moved away from her in a flash and retreated to the back of the carriage with an undisguised look of disgust on his face.

Tang Yue chuckled inwardly. Even a small child can tell how devious you are!

But she hadn't invited Zinya over just to be nice. 

In fact, Tang Yue had very special plans for this devious slutty little dwarven girl.

She was planning to personally invite this girl sooner or later, but now she herself had come over willingly.

Tang Yue silently looked ahead and muttered."Enslave."

"Did you say something, sister?" Zinya asked.

Tang Yue shook her head. "Oh, nothing. Nothing. I am just very tired." She smiled.

Clearly, the spell hadn't worked this time. 

She needed to keep using it again and again and improve her proficiency as she did with the other illusionary spells.

Tang Yue rubbed her temples and inconspicuously muttered again. "Enslave."

Once again, Zinya was not affected. She continued chattering on.

"By the way sister, how did you get the money to buy all these things?" 

"You bought two slaves, a bristle wolf carriage, and even a companion pet."

"All this should have definitely cost you quite a bit! It looks like brother Barton is treating you very well." 

Zinya smiled, but there was a hint of jealously in her voice.

Tang Yue didn't say much and only replied vaguely, with a sweet smiling face. "Ha Ha. We are not that close. I think that he is rather more close to you."

Her words, which probably didn't mean anything to a third-party bystander, surely contained a lot of hidden meaning to the guilty Zinya.

She coughed nervously and tried to change the topic. 

"Did you get some good things in the labyrinth? I heard that you were separated from the group?" She asked.

"Enslave." Tang Yue muttered under her breath and then continued loudly. "Yes. Yes. I did come across some good things." She winked mysteriously.

Zinya smiled weakly but she was seething inside. This bitch always lucked out somehow!

She was just about to poke her nose again when suddenly her mind blanked out and she lost consciousness.

The young dwarven girl sat frozen solid as if she was possessed by some ghost spirit.

Ding. Target has been successfully enslaved for an hour.

Tang Yue nodded. Perfect!

The little kid who was acting as if he was sleeping on the wolf cub, suddenly flashed his eyes open and looked at Tang Yue, his lips curled up in amusement.

Heh! Now that they were no longer in Eldoria, his snake was running wild again! He inwardly chuckled.

He didn't know that Tang Yue had such a high proficiency in illusion magic that she was even capable of casting the notorious enslave spell.

Seeing that Tang Yue was about to turn around, Xander quickly closed his eyes back up again and pretended to sleep. 

Tang Yue looked at the kid and the wolf sleeping peacefully and nodded in satisfaction.

She knew that Charlotte was probably capable of listening to their conversation but she didn't mind revealing her illusion magic in front of Charlotte.

After all, serpentine clan members possessing talent in illusion magic was not something new and Zinya was only in the martial realm.

Tang Yue only had one hour left before the spell wore off, so she quickly commanded. "Tell me about Yana."

Zinya heard her words and lifelessly replied. "Yana and I are childhood friends. She is a good girl but she is a bit dumb."

"I hate her very much. Just because she is the chieftain's daughter, she snatched everything that should rightfully belong to me."

"I am more talented than her in cultivating. I am more talented than her in smithing." 

"But that fool was engaged to brother Barton just because her family owned the biggest mine in the neighboring villages."

"But not for long." 

"Brother Barton has promised me that he will poison her and kill her after marriage and marry me afterward."

"He promised me that he wouldn't even touch her. He finds that dumb woman very disgusting."

"He humiliates that dumb fool every single time by kissing me and touching me right in front of her."

"Brother Barton only loves me. He only has eyes for me. He is only marrying her for the mine."

Tang Yue's eyebrows twitched and she immediately commanded. "Stop talking nonsense and just talk about Yana."

Zinya blinked but she didn't have any other reaction. She continued talking in that trance-like state.

She told Tang Yue all the small details such as where Yana's house was located. 

She talked about how she had skillfully isolated Yana from other people and how she was her only friend.

She also talked about Yana's dad who excessively doted on her and cherished her even though she was basically trash.

Yana's mother had apparently passed away in a hunting accident and Yana was the only child of the household and the chieftain's only heir.

This was why the chieftain had betrothed his only daughter to the neighboring village chieftain's son, Barton.

The old dwarf hoped that in the future, Barton could be the chieftain of both the villages and all the resources could be pooled together, making both the villages more prosperous.
