Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 133: My new roommate is driving me crazy Part4

Looking at the friendly and warm face in front of her, a small hope lit up in Tang Yue’s eyes. 

This elf looked exceedingly friendly, maybe if she offered the snacks for their wine session, they might invite her also over to chat, or at the least offer her some of the high grade spirit wine.

She licked her lips and quickly took out a couple of skewers lined with Armadillo meat and passed it to Xavier.

Xavier instantly beamed, smiling from ear to ear, and he readily took the two skewers from her hand.

“You have my thanks, Princess Yue.” He nodded. 

But then afterward, the elf casually took off and strode back to his brother without saying anything else to Tang Yue. No invitation was extended and no wine was offered.

Tang Yue’s mouth twitched. She could only wordlessly open and close her mouth watching the two brothers gossip again, this time about the labyrinth arrangements.

Damn it! The younger brother was cold and cruel both inside and out, but the elder brother was even worse. He was warm and bubbly on the outside but equally black hearted on the inside.

Tang Yue nodded, understanding the two brothers a little bit better. She sighed and went back to her disciple chores, quickening her pace to finish things faster.

Now that the spirit wine was clearly out of table, she needed to try other things to increase her soul strength.

While she busied herself with work, the two brothers eventually broke their discussion session and Xavier strolled out. Xander as well headed out to his courtroom to meet with his Generals and other Councilmen.

But not before he squatted next to Tang Yue and stared at her coldly for a few minutes. This was how he inspected her concoction techniques. After these two days, she was almost used to this.

She only slightly shivered but her hands continued moving and her control of the tongues of flame remained steady.

Observing her for a few more minutes, Xander coldly chuckled and prepared to leave. 

“I won’t be returning for the entire day.” He muttered in a tone laced with mockery. “You should be able to do whatever you want in my absence.” He chuckled and walked away.

Tang Yue instantly stiffened. She was happy that the man hadn’t criticized any of her techniques today, but he went ahead and spewed out a string of unexpected words.

What were the meaning of these words? Did he expect her to reveal some sort of secret while he was away?

If so, what sort of a lunatic will instruct her to do the same openly?

Couldn’t you have just secretly spied on me instead of doing this? She held her head in her hands and sighed.

The domineering presence beside her soon disappeared as Xander walked out and Tang Yue was able to breath normally again.

Even though Xander had hidden his Demi-God aura, the air was still heavy and dense whenever he was around. So the minute he stepped out, Tang Yue could already feel her entire body relaxing.

Little Blue who also clearly sensed that Xander had left came running out of Tang Yue’s personal chamber and laid next to her.

Tang Yue chuckled and patted the little thing. Just like her, it also seemed to hate the arrogant tyrant.

Gazing at the innocent light blue eyes, she wondered if she should finish the beast contract now. 

But something nagged her in the back of her mind. The tyrant’s last few words resounded in her brain again and again. 

He might have said that she was free to do as she pleased but that could very well be a ploy to catch her off guard. Just to be safe, Tang Yue didn’t want to reveal anything unusual as long as she was within these huge gray walls.

She shook her head resolutely and decided to focus on other important things.

And unbeknownst to her, a pair of invisible eyes blinked and followed her every small movement. The eyes themselves looked as if they were a part of the darkness, hiding in the shadows, but they had a faint crimson hue to them that was unnoticeable.

This was in fact Xander’s dark elemental clone. Cultivators at the Demi-God realm were able to form elemental clones when their affinity reached a certain extent.

The clone was not a separate entity. It was rather part of the same person and everything that it saw and felt would be instantly conveyed. 

There were also several limitations in using this technique. For instance, the clone couldn’t exist too far away from the main body and it was definitely not capable of casting high-grade spells.

And just as Tang Yue had assumed, Xander had in fact left behind his clone to closely monitor her movements. He didn’t think that she was dangerous but it was very obvious that she was hiding something.

The system had long since noticed the clone, to be precise on the very first day she entered these premises, but the old man didn’t bother to alert her to its presence.

Luckily, Tang Yue was smart enough to think of this possible scenario on her own and she consciously avoided doing anything that was different than ordinary.

Her only problem was that it was increasingly becoming more and more difficult to improve her strength while she was being constantly monitored like this.

Tang Yue absentmindedly retrieved few more pieces of meat from her space pearl and chomped down on them as she pondered about various things.

She considered her options for a while, when her emerald eyes sparkled suddenly.

Of course! How could she forget! She was now a grandmaster’s personal disciple!

“He He He.” Tang Yue rubbed her hands together and decided to flaunt this new found status of her in front of a few people, to be precise in front of the damned alchemy association elves.

…

Meanwhile…

In the middle of a deserted training ground, a slender figure stood upside down, balancing her slim frame just using the tip of her index finger.
