Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 127: Disciple fees Part1

Within an hour after they received the summon, Tang Yue followed by Lotte quickly hurried over to the royal palace.

They entered through the palatial main gates and walked over to the main courtroom. This actually gave Tang Yue some courage.

Since the meeting was in the main courtroom, she was positive that the mad man probably wouldn’t do anything too crazy, but then again he had chopped down several heads right in the midst of everyone in the royal courtroom itself. So one can never really be too sure.

Once they reached the main courtroom, Lotte waited outside and Tang Yue informed the guards.

“Consort Tang Yue is here.” One of the guards announced her arrival and she was then ushered in.

Hiding all the nervousness and anxiety that rattled her, Tang Yue calmed herself down and waltzed in with her seductive elegance and grace. 

Her head was slightly bowed down in respect for the Crown Prince and the royal court and a small smile hung on her pillowy lips. 

“Greetings, your highness.” She muttered, her eyes casting a quick glance in the direction of the crystal throne before they circled back to the spotless white marble floor.

Instantly, the familiar handsome face and the cruel crimson eyes met her gaze.

Damn it. Tang Yue shivered slightly. What does he want with me? 

She already knew the answer to this question. They were clearly here to talk about her Devil Awakening pills but her nervousness made her question everything.

Not only did the madman look particularly serious but from her peripheral vision, she could tell that the courtroom today was an especially full one. 

More importantly, just like the Crown Prince everyone else also had a solemn expression on their faces.

An awkward silence spread across the courtroom as no one said anything and everyone including Xander wordlessly observed the snake standing and fidgeting in the center of the chamber.

They were all equally perplexed as to how this mere spirit beast had managed to demonstrate such a heaven-defying talent in alchemy. 

Moreover, she hadn’t even stepped out of the mortal tier yet. Her cultivation base was so weak and negligible. Her soul strength was even more pathetic.

Since Tang Yue’s cultivation was still in the beginning stage, everyone could easily see through her body and scan her strength. This only made them even more curious.

How did a weakling manage to achieve such a feat?

The long pause of silence continued and Tang Yue, being literally in the center of it, couldn’t take the silence anymore. 

“I am here to collect my 200 billion gems, your highness.” She opened her small mouth and mumbled, immediately regretting her actions.

Her nervousness was dangerously getting the better of her and this damned lunatic was torturing her with something as simple as silence. 

Ah fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Why is my mouth running idiotically? She cursed herself. 

Everyone else in the courtroom also had the same question pop up in their heads.

What guts?! Even they didn’t dare speak out of turn in the presence of the Crown and that too she was demanding payment!

Tang Yue’s long eyelashes fluttered as she inconspicuously looked up again to take a quick glance at the mad man’s face. Is he angry? Her heart rate quickened.

But as soon as she looked up, her eyes met something even scarier than the angry or the impassive indifferent face that she was expecting.

The lunatic tyrant was looking at her casually with a subtle smirk on his face. 

Fuck it! I am done for! Tang Yue screamed inside her brain. 

She gulped and suddenly wished that this silence would continue, instead of what was inevitably about to come next.

But of course… that was not going to happen…

Xander who was leisurely sitting on the intimidating crystal throne had now stood up. A cold chuckled escaped his lips and the elf started walking towards the snake.

“Tell me, Salvatore, what were we doing yesterday?” Xander asked the General a question, his eyes still lingering on the snake and his leg taking another step towards her.

General Salvatore, Charlotte’s father, immediately gave a brief summary about the events of the day which fully implicated a certain someone.

“Umm… We were settling the unrest and the grievances among the nine nations.” He then added after a thought. “which had stirred up because the royal family intervened in the auction and strong-armed an auctioned item.”

Tang Yue gulped. She hadn’t in the least considered that her small action could have such big ramifications. 

But it was still too soon for her to repent for the sins. Xander was not done talking yet.

“And what are we doing today?” His cold voice sounded unnaturally close to Tang Yue. 

It was only then that she realized that the elf had already reached her. He was now standing right in front of her.

They were so close that Tang Yue could feel the man’s warm breath on her cheeks. She shuddered and took a step back involuntarily. 

Her heart was thumping so loud that she could barely hear what the General was saying in the background. It was probably about something else that she screwed up, the snake assumed.

She couldn’t bother anymore with anything else. Her problem now was standing right in front of her like a towering majestic mountain. She simply couldn’t look past him.

Xander chuckled lightly, even the smallest detail of her reactions not escaping his crimson eyes.

In the courtroom full of serious faces and in the middle of a serious day with actual issues, for some reason, he looked like he was having a good time.

Continuing to ignore the rest of the courtroom, he took one more step towards the nervous snake and casually reached forward to hold her slender hand.

Huh? Tang Yue gawked. 

She looked down to see her pale blue hand resting within his grasp, his hand slightly bigger than hers.

Contrary to the man’s cold unforgiving gaze, his touch was rather warm and gentle.

Tang Yue’s emerald eyes stared at the elf unblinkingly wondering what was happening.
