Chapter 132: My new roommate is driving me crazy Part3

Before moving to her new living quarters, Tang Yue's day mostly consisted of binge eating to improve her strength and contemplating about alchemy whilst she rolled around in the food coma laziness.

But now, since she had to busy herself with the ingredients preparation and other small concoctions, she could no longer find the time to do that.

Instead, she switched to roasted meat. 

One of the few perks of living in the Crown's chamber was the surplus of amazing higher grade food. 

The first day she moved here, Tang Yue had already instructed Hinata to regularly bring her roasted meat from specific beasts.

In fact, she had given a detailed schedule to Hinata. 

With this, she would be able to at the least absorb three more bloodlines before the start of the contest.

So now her main remaining concern was her pitiful soul strength and low cultivation base. 

She needed to break out of the mortal tier, just to be eligible to participate in the contest. 

This was her biggest issue at the moment!

The higher mana concentration in her new living quarters helped with this quite a bit, but her soul strength was still pathetic.

As Tang Yue was pondering about these things, her emerald eyes couldn't help but flash intermittently towards the couple of douches. 

The spirit wine in their hands could help her soul strength quite a bit.

But would they share it with her? Hmph! Stingy assholes!

Tang Yue cursed the two elves to her heart's content as she continued working hard on her alchemy chores. 

After tossing in the next batch of herbs, Tang Yue casually retrieved a skewer full of roasted Nine-tailed Armadillo meat. 

Nine-tailed Armadillos were one of the rare low-grade beasts. 

Though they were only low-grade beasts, it was incredibly difficult to find them, let alone obtain them.

And even if someone hunted a batch of these armadillos, it would still not be worth the effort because the body was mostly shell and not flesh. 

Unless they specifically looked for it to use the shell as an ingredient for something, no one would bother buying Nine-tailed Armadillo meat.

But today, Tang Yue had asked Hinata for this particular meat because of the very shell. 

Armadillo's outer shell was extremely thick and strong. 

The animal had a special mana circulation route by which it strengthens its outer shell along with the scales covering the rest of the body.

Tang Yue badly wanted this ability to strengthen her own scales and gain an additional layer of armor, this time, without ballooning up and looking like a fattened poultry animal ready for slaughter.

Previously, she was not able to get this particular meat in the beast market, but now that she was living amidst royalty, all she had to do was ask and the roasted meat would be promptly delivered!

The snake mechanically chomped down on the meat sticking to the skewer and put the entire skewer full of meat, at least four to five pieces, inside her mouth in a second.

Her hands then returned to do the busy work on the cauldron and she casually munched on the food with her mouth full.

Both Xander and Xavier looked at her with a weird expression! They had to blink twice and make sure that this was actually happening right in front of them.

All their life, they had only come across women who were shy and reserved. 

To date, no noble lady had ever behaved in such a boorish manner in front of them.

It was completely unheard of for a woman with high standing in the society to act like this in a barbaric and vulgar manner.

Tang Yue felt their eyes staring at her awkwardly but she shrugged and continued on with her chores. Unlike these two jerks, she still had a long list of things to finish.

Xander as well quickly recovered and continued sipping his wine, though his lips were still curled up in amusement.

Who in their right mind would snack so obviously in the middle of a concoction process and that too in presence of him, a grandmaster alchemist and the ruler of the great elven nation! He chuckled silently.

Everything the spirit beast in front of him did was counter-intuitive and chaotic! 

Xavier, however, was still staring at the snake unblinkingly and consciously swallowed down the saliva in his mouth.

Armadillo meat! What a rare delicacy! The foodie inside him was provoked!

Xavier shamelessly cleared his throat and sprang up from his seated position. He then ignored his brother and approached the busily working snake.

"Aha Ha. Consort Yue, oh wait, is it disciple Yue now? What do we have here?" He squatted down next to Tang Yue and eagerly looked at her.

Huh? Tang Yue was stunned by this sudden closeness. 

This was the first time she was interacting with Xavier, the most jovial and easy-going prince of Eldoria, also known for his ravenous sexual appetite.

Honestly, the man creeped her out a bit, but at least he was warm and friendly unlike the other cold and arrogant bastard in the room.

Speaking with one's mouth full was never a pretty sight.

So she took a minute to chew down and swallow the roasted meat in her mouth before answering.

"Greetings, your highness. I am simply preparing a few batches of ingredients necessary for the concoction of Devil Awakening pills."

"Oh psht! I was not talking about that. My very experienced nose tells me that you are snacking on some armadillo skewers?"

Huh? Tang Yue raised her eyebrows in confusion. Does he want it too? She couldn't tell. 

After all, he was a royal prince… he simply could clap his hands and get another platter? Why would he come to me and talk so personally? She hesitated.

She absolutely did not trust any of the elves no matter who they were and however friendly they behaved! Case in point, the cruel scheming tyrant sitting a few yards away from her.

Xavier, however, continued to talk to her with a very friendly and warm attitude. "Give me some. Give me some." He nagged her.

Tang Yue had to slightly hold back her laughter. 

He looked exactly like Little Blue circling around her and begging her for food with its eager puppy dog eyes.
