Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 117: A new genius in the city Part2

Drip Drip Drop

Beads of sweat clung on to Tang Yue’s forehead, some rolling down and entering into her crescent eyes that were already bloodshot from tiredness and energy drain. 

The snake slightly winced at the discomfort. But her emerald eyes unblinkingly stared at the 3 pills on her hand.

She had stayed up continuously for the past two days and tried her best to cook up a Devil Awakening pill.

Her first two attempts had been utterly disastrous with the cauldron blowing up on her face. 

The only thing that was left behind was the soot covering her cheeks and the burnt smell emanating from her otherwise beautifully cascading curls on her right side.

The last three attempts were somewhat better, at least some sort of a pill was left behind.

The first one was pitch black in color emanating a terrifying aura. 

The second one was blackish purple in color but at least it didn’t instill fear in the heart like the first one. 

The last one as well, was a dark purple in color, but half of the pill was clear and translucent.

Failures! They were all failures!

A successful Devil Awakening Pill was described to be completely translucent in color and emanating a calm and neutral vibe.

So the three pills which Tang Yue and Little Plum had concocted in their first session were all failures.

Tang Yue had vastly underestimated the ancient art of alchemy and the difficulty in concocting a pill.

And since this was a matter of the mind and the brain, she didn’t dare to test out these weird looking failed pills, especially the first one that looked terrifying.

It might really just end up pushing one’s brain to the realm of craziness and break the brain completely.

Tang Yue carefully put away her three failed pills in her space pearl and stood up hissing. “Damn it.” 

Now all her ingredients were used up and she didn’t have a single thing to show for.

And the worst part was… she was so close to finally making a successful one! 

She just probably needed one or utmost two more tries!

“Ah. Where should I get more funds from?” The scheming snake rubbed her chin and pondered.

At least if Charlotte was still living right next to her, she could have easily blackmailed her or threatened her in one way or another and grabbed some money from the arrogant elf.

But now, after the recent events, she was scared to even appear in front of the elf.

“She witnessed that dastardly kissing scene real up close and personal. So she wouldn’t probably hesitate to kill me on sight.” Tang Yue mumbled and paced back and forth, wondering what to do next.

After thinking for a while, she clenched her fists and made up her mind. “Argh. Fine. I am going to start a tab under that asshole’s name. He dared to kiss me! He needs to pay for it!”

She stomped angrily and prepared to head out. She was in a foul mood that couldn’t be made any worse. Or at least that’s what she thought.

But right when she opened her main gates and stepped out, an even more vexing face stared at her, appearing suddenly out of nowhere!

“Lazy bitch! What do you think of yourself? You dare make me wait outside your doors this long?” A shrill voice sounded, spraying saliva all over Tang Yue’s face.

“And here I thought you would have at least used this opportunity to crawl into your husband’s bed and made something out of yourself!”

“But No! Even here you were still useless and managed to get yourself kicked out of the royal palace huh?”

“How are you not dead yet? Did you sleep around in the palace and beg for your life?”

“Is that why you got kicked out?”

“Hmph. A useless trash will always be a trash!”

“Have you no shame? You useless good for nothing!”

“Move over. Fucking trash. Don’t show your ugly face in front of me again.”

Tang Yue’s lips twitched. Her tired eyes trembled. Why in the name of hell was this witch here?? Her mind was spinning.

Standing in front of Tang Yue and shoving her aside with her thick pudgy arms was Tang Zuelo, Tang Yue’s beloved step mother.

“Sorry, your highness.” Lotte bowed his head and trembled. The poor elf was scared senseless from the woman’s words and actions.

He couldn’t let her in because of Tang Yue’s specific instructions and now because of him, Tang Yue was getting shouted at.

So he felt very bad thinking that because of him Tang Yue was in trouble.

However, Tang Yue only casually waved her hand and dismissed Lotte. She then silently stepped aside. She knew better than to talk back to her step mother.

Tang Zuelo was rather terrifying! She was the rudest and uncouth personality she had ever come across.

Conversing with her was akin to trying to rationally talk to a mad rabid barking bristle wolf!

Once she got going with her praises she was completely unstoppable!

The woman had a mouth more poisonous than Tang Yue’s upgraded venom!

As Tang Yue stepped aside, she finally noticed the other person standing behind her loud mouthed step mother, her first step sister, Tang Xi.

“Greetings sister. How have you been lately? We have all missed you very much.” Tang Xi smiled and mumbled sweetly. 

Her small face and cute expression made her look extremely adorable.

If Tang Yue could be considered as a seductive and sensual temptress, Tang Xi was a pure and gentle goddess.

Though both of them were from the serpentine clan, one looked evil, while the other looked pure and kind as the fresh snow on a winter morning.

Moreover, her character also matched her gentle appearance. Tang Xi was famous for being soft and sweet, having only ever said nice, polite, and warm words to others.

She was famous in the serpentine lands for being a kind and gentle sweetheart. She was always very helpful to everyone, despite being a royal princess.

And this was despite her being ruthless and extremely powerful swordsmanship. Tang Xi was a born genius when it came to combat.

Even the Serpentine Emperor’s first son, the Crown Prince’s talents paled in comparison with her combat talents.

But despite her kind and gentle appearance, Tang Yue always stayed away from this sister of hers.

For some reason, even from her childhood, she had been always wary of her. 

Despite all her goodness and kindness, there was something about her, that just quite didn’t sit well with Tang Yue. A dark and murky hidden facade.

“Hello, hello. Sister, are you okay?” Tang Xi smiled like a child and asked again since she didn’t get any reply back the first time.

Tang Yue absent-mindedly nodded. She couldn’t care less about playing along with this white lotus in front of her.

Since only this particular sister of hers had accompanied her loud mouthed step mother, Tang Yue could instantly guess what the duo were up to and why they showed up here unannounced.

“Hmph. What a rude person! Your sister is asking you how you are doing! Are you deaf?” Tang Zuelo fumed.

“Stop talking with that useless trash Xiao Xi. Get in here and take some rest.”

“You need to properly prepare yourself for the next few days. This is a big week for you. Don’t waste time chatting with that good for nothing nonsense.”

Tang Zuelo barked loudly and dragged Tang Xi inside the Zither palace, shutting the door on Tang Yue’s face.

“Stay somewhere else. Don’t come here and bother us.” 

“Useless bitch! Couldn’t even manage to stay within the royal palace. Now we have to suffer in this god awful place!” 

Even through the thick oak wood doors, Tang Yue could still hear the shrill voice of her step mother.

The woman had walked in like a storm and daringly pushed her out of her own house.

And Tang Yue was penniless and homeless again!

Standing next to her, both Lotte and Little Blue stared at her worried and confused. They were still trying to comprehend what just happened.

But unexpectedly, Tang Yue let out a loud sigh before proceeding to chuckle like a maniac. 

“When it rains, it pours!” She muttered. Her resolve to participate and win in this contest silently throbbed.

Talking back to this dumb useless woman wouldn’t bring any good, but beating her treasured genius daughter in direct combat would sure feel good!

Tang Yue clenched her fists and turned towards Lotte. “Rent us a room in an inn, a preferably high-tier inn with a heavy emphasis on privacy.”

Lotte nodded and hurried over to take care of the necessary arrangements.

Tang Yue as well, hurried over to the familiar shop.

She was going to borrow some herbs from the alchemy stall in the market and she was going to do so under that mad man’s name.
