妻子的情人

Chapter 237: She is the worst Part7

Tang Yue looked at the engagement ring for some more time, before deciding to toss it into her space pearl.

She didn’t want to see that thing again and again and confuse herself with impossible theories.

She quickly emptied it out. She took out the remaining disguise crystals, she took out the gold, and then she took out all the spare sets of clothes.

She stuck everything in her old space pearl and was about to toss the damned ring in the space pearl as well, when suddenly she saw that the ring was not entirely emptied out yet.

Something else was also there in the ring. Something that she had never seen before.

A quagmire centipede’s corpse!

Tang Yue’s eyes widened. This was exactly what she needed now. But how was it there inside this ring?

There was no doubt that she only had two of these beast corpses in her possession and she had eaten one yesterday and one today.

So how was there another one all of a sudden?

“Did I not look at the contents properly?” She pondered. That was definitely a possibility. 

When she had first seen this ring, it had made her extremely flustered, and moreover, she was in a hurry to leave the royal city.

So Tang Yue felt that she very well could have missed such a significant item in the ring.

She hesitated for a bit, before eventually coming to the conclusion that Xander might have gifted her the centipede meat casually.

After all, while she was living in the palace, she had been eating non-stop and every chance she got.

So it was not that much of a stretch to think so. Besides, he had given her a lot of gold as well.

But still… everything seemed a bit too coincidental and it didn’t sit well with her…

Tang Yue pensively stared at the ring again, before emptying out the centipede meat and tossing everything in her space pearl.

She was not too tired today and she also now had the third centipede beast which she needed to complete the bloodline.

So Tang Yue did not dawdle any longer and rushed back to the mines. 

Kosa hadn’t returned home yet, but Charlotte and the housemaid were still around. So she headed to the mines to get some more privacy.

She, however, busily munched on the centipede meat even on her way to the mines.

By now, the doubts and questions in her mind had already disappeared and she was extremely excited to absorb her first high-grade beast bloodline.

Xander, of course, followed her all the way to the mines but didn’t go inside this time around.

He positioned himself a fair distance away from the mines and only sent his dark elemental clone inside in order to spy for him.

He watched Tang Yue gulp down chunks after chunks of centipede meat without even bothering to roast it first.

The girl was rather very hardworking!

Not only did she keep constantly munching on the beast meat but she also meticulously kept practicing her sword technique.

Xander was nothing but impressed at her diligence. 

His crimson orbs didn’t move an inch from her and kept gazing at her, hidden within the shadows and the darkness of the mine.

Time ticked by slowly and soon Xander observed the first signs of something strange and unique.

Tang Yue’s dwarven figure suddenly morphed into her serpentine form. 

Her body twitched on the ground, twisting and turning as if she was suffering.

Xander was stunned. He didn’t know or understand what was happening and that too she seemed to be in a lot of pain.

Should I intervene? He worriedly looked.

He wanted to see what she was hiding but at the same time, he couldn’t simply watch her suffer.

But before he could react and respond, Tang Yue’s long serpentine body had already stopped twisting and turning.

Her emerald eyes shone in the darkness and she quickly crushed another rune crystal to restore her disguise again.

Xander stepped back and patiently observed her actions again.

He watched her haphazardly throw her clothes back on and sit down to cultivate.

Hmm… He blinked.

And the next instant, thick strands of dense earthen essence coalesced around her.

Xander gasped in shock. What the heck???

Even though he had somehow conjured up an unimaginable hypothesis, watching it all happen right in front of him was completely unbelievable.

Everything felt surreal. How could someone be so overpowered? 

Was she really just a spirit beast? Since when were serpentine spirit beasts so powerful?

Just as he was thinking that Tang Yue greedily sucked in all the earthen essence around her and consolidated her earthen elemental core, her second mana core.

Xander shook his head and chuckled wryly.

What sort of an affinity was required to consolidate a mana core in a mere couple of days?

There was no doubt in his mind now. Tang Yue had clearly absorbed the life essence of the beasts which she had consumed.

And more importantly, she only needed a few of the beasts to achieve this miraculous feat.

Xander didn’t need to know any more details to understand how ridiculous this was.

It was only a matter of time now before Tang Yue steps onto the bigger stage and dominates the entire nine nations.

How would the high-council members react when a spirit beast they vehemently look down upon rises up to crush and break them down?? Pull out their hierarchy from the roots??

A warm smile surfaced on Xander’s face. 

He was the Crown Prince of Eldoria. He really should care more about this, but the truth was that he didn’t mind this at all. Not even a little bit.

The elves had been at the top of the food chain for too long now. 

Xander clenched his fists. He could feel excitement and chaos surging in his body. He let out a burst of loud maniacal laughter that was drowned by the barrier he had set up.

A change was in the wind and it was a change that he personally looked forward to.
