While Tang Yue patiently waited, sipping her tea, Charlotte continued chatting with the elves.

But soon, she stood up and excused herself to visit the private washroom chambers.

She even wiped her eyes with a silk handkerchief before walking away, maintaining her sad facade.

Tang Yue chuckled. 

She as well stood up and casually followed Charlotte into the washroom chambers.

She watched the beautiful elf enter one of the chambers and her three maids waited outside.

Tang Yue's thin lips curled upwards and the snake slowly mumbled. "Hide."

Her petite figure instantly blurred, disappearing under the blanket of illusion.

Anyone with higher cultivation could have immediately sniffed her out, but the maids couldn't detect her presence at all.

Hidden in plain sight, Tang Yue smoothly walked into the washroom chamber which Charlotte had just entered.

Though it was merely a washroom chamber, the space was still quite big, with a resting area, equipped with tall mirrors and even a marble bathing tub.

Tang Yue leaned against one of the walls and patiently waited for Charlotte to relieve herself.

In the privacy of the washroom chamber, the elf seemed to be in a much better mood, as she hummed a tune and quickly finished her business.

She then used a pail of water to clean her hands and feet and used the mirror to adjust her robes and appearance.

Charlotte then rubbed her eyes roughly, ensuring that they were thoroughly reddened.

After all, once she stepped out, she again had to play the part of a terribly wronged woman.

Charlotte checked her appearance in the mirror once again and prepared to leave when suddenly something tugged at her.

She felt a pressure on her hands and someone pulled her back inside.

Huh?

The elf blinked, unsure of what was happening. 

She quickly rotated her cultivation base and tried to enter a defense mode, when suddenly something soft and warm covered her mouth, completely taking her by surprise.

And soon afterward, a familiar figure materialized in front of her, quickly pinning her to the wall, holding her jaw.

Before Charlotte could react to this intruder, and the unexpected pair of lips assaulting her, a soft slippery forked tongue made its way inside her mouth.

Tang Yue cringed and cursed the damned system in her mind, as she threw all caution to the wind, and quickly pressed hard on Charlotte's lips, taking her lower lip in between and sucking on it.

She had also cast the spell Startle so that gave her a couple of seconds to finish the damned deed.

Tang Yue could feel Charlotte's body tensing up and then relaxing as the elf moaned instinctively, "Nnngggh."

Afraid, that the elf might kick her out before she finished the three kisses, Tang Yue hurried and deepened the kiss.

Her tongue slid inside the elf's mouth for a second time, probing deep inside her mouth.

Tang Yue's emerald eyes were wide open, and she could see the other party absent-mindedly enjoying the kissing sensation.

The snake silently cried at this outcome and quickly planted another kiss on the elf's wet pillowy lips, almost panting out of breath.

Charlotte weirdly even pulled her closer, kissing even more passionately than what Tang Yue had initiated.

The snake shivered. The Hide and Startle combo was apparently a deadly weapon to the perverted molesters everywhere!

1 second passed… 2 seconds passed… 3 seconds passed…

Charlotte finally regained her awareness and angrily flashed her eyes open.

She saw the snake standing in front of her, shamelessly staring at her with a weird expression and her fuse was completely blown.

She could even feel the citrus taste of the Nettle tea leaves in her mouth.

Ahhhh! 

Charlotte screamed, falling back on the wall. 

She quickly mustered all the force she could and pushed the snake away, saliva dripping from her mouth.

The damned snake had stolen her first kiss!

"What the…"

"YUCK! BLEGHH!"

"What the hell? WHAT THE HELL??"

Charlotte instantly materialized two huge balls of fire on both her hands.

She wanted to burn down the damned snake in front of her if it was the last thing she did.

"You dirty snake! You!! What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"I am his majesty's woman. How dare you kiss me?!"

Dusting away all the well-deserved accusations thrown at her, Tang Yue shamelessly supported herself holding on to a flower vase and steadied her grounding.

"You have a rabid imagination, lady Charlotte. When did I ever do such a ridiculous thing?" She mumbled, looking directly at her with a straight face.

"Perhaps you are fantasizing about me?" A cold chuckled escaped the snake's wet dark blue lips, which clearly showed her guilt.

But Tang Yue had long since decided that the best route here was to blatantly feign ignorance. So she didn't budge from her innocent act.

Charlotte fumed in anger. 

The dastardly snake was not even giving her an ounce of respect and outright denying the heinous acts that she had just now committed! BARELY SECONDS AGO!

She closed her eyes and mumbled some words, fully prepared to burn Tang Yue down to ashes when a loud shuffling noise sounded from the outside.

It looked like some other elves were also making their way to the private washroom chambers.

Charlotte immediately regained a bit more sanity and snapped back from her fury.

Her voluptuous chest heaved up and down, as she gritted her teeth and doused her fireballs. 

She couldn't afford to create a scene here and embarrass herself.

Winning the affection of the Empress was much more important than this filthy snake at the moment! 

She already regretted being impulsive and stupid once before in the forest and in front of the crown prince, she couldn't lose this second chance as well.

"This is not over." Charlotte angrily huffed and stormed out of the washroom chamber.

Chuckling, Tang Yue as well, casually strolled out. Her job here was almost done and she was ready to play with the pill formula that could potentially make her a very rich snake!

And Charlotte's aides who were waiting for her outside, quickly followed behind their mistress, with their heads bowed and mouths busy.

"Is it me or is lady Charlotte a little too fixated on the beast consort lately?"

"She has been constantly talking about her and thinking of her."

"He He. Did you see both of them walk out of the washroom chambers one after the another?"

"Both of them looked very flushed? Do you think something is going on?"

"He He. Who knows? Maybe that's why the crown prince chased her away?"

And thus, a new rumor started spreading around in the Eldorian elven establishment.

"Ah~ It looks like the General's daughter prefers women and particularly beasts."
