Chapter 268: New allies Part1
“My mother crippled me.” Tang Yue incoherently mumbled in between her sobs.
“Yue. Wait. Calm down. What are you saying? Did you just have a bad dream?” Charlotte had no idea what was going on and didn’t know how to respond.
Tang Yue was typically a very calm and composed person.
In fact, Charlotte had never seen her disturbed like this, so her heart hurt to see her in this state.
“Yue. Please calm down first. Here drink some water.” Charlotte worriedly handed her another jar of water.
Tang Yue blankly nodded and did as she was told. Only then she was able to explain things more clearly to Charlotte.
“Ever since I was a child, my memory regarding the night my mother disappeared had always been vague and unclear.”
“I thought that she had just left me alone because she didn’t like my father.”
“But when I used the Devil Awakening Pill…” Tang Yue paused.
Charlotte blinked. She now somewhat understood what was going on.
“Ummm… Yue… Devil Awakening Pill simply induces an illusionary nightmare. It is not real.”
Huh? Tang Yue looked up in confusion. “All of that was an illusion?”
“Yes Yue. I mean it is common knowledge that a Devil Awakening Pill plunges one into a nightmarish world. It is not real dear.” Charlotte patted her.
But there was a small chance that it was real. Charlotte didn’t say the last part to her.
She didn’t think it was important, considering that there was only a small chance that the nightmare was real and the dreadful things actually happened.
“I think you are just agitated. Didn’t you take like three Devil Awakening just these past few days?”
Tang Yue nodded. That was indeed possible.
After the first pill helped her cross over the bottleneck and improve her mental strength, Tang Yue had taken two more pills.
Perhaps that was too much for her body to handle.
Tang Yue tried to console herself, but still, she had a nagging feeling.
She could just instinctively tell that what she had dreamed was indeed true and the series of events had actually happened.
Nevertheless, she had now calmed down a bit after talking to Charlotte for a while.
The two chatted for some more time about Tang Yue’s childhood and then Tang Yue went back to her smithing training, while Charlotte headed out to train Little Blue.
Little Blue had considerably grown these past few days and was now almost an adult wolf.
The blue stripes on his snow-white fur sparkled and his front canines jutted out majestically.
However, before heading out the wolf still behaved like a small pup and licked Tang Yue affectionately.
“Aye. Stop tickling me.” Tang Yue chuckled and patted its head.
She was still in a weird mood, but this adorable munchkin had made her smile.
“You guys are heading out again?” Tang Yue asked.
Charlotte had been religiously helping Little Blue train these past few days, even though she didn’t have to trouble herself with such a boring task.
Charlotte nodded. “Yue. Don’t worry. This time I will make sure that we don’t come across anyone.”
“I will take a detour and head out deeper into the forests.” She assured Tang Yue.
Since the last time they went out for training, it had almost cost them their disguise, Charlotte assumed that Tang Yue was questioning her in concern.
But Tang Yue was actually thinking about something else.
She was not a heartless person.
She saw how Charlotte had been trying her best to help her out, so she wanted to do something in return.
The problem was… she didn’t know how the old man would respond.
A couple of seconds later, Tang Yue sighed and decided to go for it anyways.
“Listen Charlotte. Do you also want to form a beast contract?” Tang Yue put down the hammer in her hand and asked.
“I already have some contracted beasts back at the palace, Yue.”
“Hmm… That’s fine but the binding contract I have is of better quality. You can see Little Blue’s growth right?”
Charlotte nodded. “Of course.”
“Umm… But it’s okay. These kinds of things are usually kept a secret. So I don’t mind.” Charlotte smiled and replied honestly.
“Ha Ha. You don’t have to be so polite. Come on.”
Tang Yue ignored her reluctance and quickly took a blank jade slip from her spatial pouch.
She then inscribed the contract binding technique onto it.
“Here. Take it. Pick out a cub from the market. I can help you with the binding tonight.”
Tang Yue smiled and shoved the jade slip into Charlotte’s hands.
The elf dazedly nodded and walked out.
Techniques like these were prized possessions safeguarded by families, sometimes not even shared with their clans and sects.
But Tang Yue had simply tossed it to her as if she was sharing a slice of roasted meat.
Mmm… She must definitely like me a lot. Charlotte smiled absentmindedly and stepped out of the smithy with a coy ditzy look on her face.
“Nope.” As if answering her thoughts, a loud voice suddenly sounded near her, startling her slightly.
Charlotte snapped out of her daze and glared at the little kid before heading out with the wolf.
She didn’t want to bicker with the little rascal and ruin her mood, especially after receiving such a nice gift from Tang Yue.
Xander watched her hum and skip away with a big smile on her face and his gaze turned cold.
He already knew what happened inside the smithy and was not quite pleased with how generous Tang Yue was being.
Why did she trust her so much? He couldn’t understand.
The woman didn’t even trust him when he had clearly gifted her an engagement ring.
But she didn’t have any issues with trusting this scheming little vixen.
He coldly snorted and headed in with a sour expression, but then his gaze fell on the hard-working woman hammering on the metal intently and he immediately melted.
