"No. No. It's not over yet." Charlotte answered.
She then hesitated and turned around, revealing her milky white smooth back to Tang Yue, and hurriedly started undressing.
Tang Yue was going to turn around to give her some privacy but she kept wondering how a vixen had such a smooth back and no hair at all and ended up staring at her the whole time.
Inside her body, the old man's soul was quivering with delight. His nasal voice chimed in and happily exclaimed.
[See, because of my meddling, how colorful your life is now! You have gotten yourself quite a powerful ally!]
"Shut up." Tang Yue sighed and ignored the damned system. She had a bad premonition that weirder and weirder quests were going to pop out now.
Charlotte didn't take a lot of time and quickly changed her entire attire. She was no longer wearing her exquisite jewels or her beautifully crafted silver robe.
She now wore a slightly tattered dark and gloomy dirty green robe. She had also covered her head and half her face and wore thick cuffs on both her legs and her hands.
"This is a slave's attire!" Tang Yue gasped loudly.
She couldn't believe that the high and mighty daughter of a noble elven family would dress up as a slave just to accompany her.
Beast hybrids were very commonly traded slaves, so this outfit and disguise perfectly suited her.
But why was she going to such an extent just to help her?
"Let's go." Tang Yue muttered and started walking.
She didn't know what to make of all of these new developments, but at the end of the day, she felt slightly moved by Charlotte's meticulous efforts.
She had indeed helped her out a lot.
If not for Charlotte, Tang You would have really suffered from the compromised identity.
Thanks to her, the duo walking through the forest really looked like just another pair of adventurers, a dwarf, and his slave.
After walking for a while, Tang Yue realized that she had missed something vital and turned to ask her new companion.
"Hey, how did you find me?"
"Ah~" A small blush crept up in the vixen's face. "That… That…" She hesitated to answer the question.
"I placed a small tracking rune on you when you were unconscious these past couple of days."
"I overheard my dad talking to my mom. They were saying that you would most probably get exiled or sent to some dangerous place."
"So I thought…" She looked guilty and mumbled.
"You… you!!" Tang Yue couldn't help but chuckle. She could tell that the elf genuinely cared about her.
"Your father knows that you are doing this?" She asked.
"No." Charlotte nodded. "I told him I am going into seclusion, so he won't come searching for me."
Tang Yue nodded and asked again. "He knows that you took a lot of things? The treasures that you mentioned?"
"Nope." The elf cheekily replied.
Tang Yue chuckled. She could barely hold in her laughter. This girl! She had really taken the old General for a ride!
The two of them soon reached the Eldorian borders and continued to walk to the market.
Several heads turned in their direction, but no one glanced at them a second time.
In the bustling market, they easily blended into the crowd, and thus far, no red flags were raised.
"What are we buying?" Charlotte asked.
"Maybe some appropriate clothes?" Tang Yue answered.
Unlike the elf, who had sufficient time to prepare for this journey, she had gotten this information sort of last minute and so was not adequately prepared.
She also wanted to replenish all her potions, other herbs, and meat that she might require.
As soon as she thought about meat, Tang Yue's mind wandered to Little Blue who she had to unfortunately abandon.
If she had known that things would turn out this way, she could have easily asked Charlotte to bring Little Blue.
But now it was too late.
Lotte would not give up Little Blue to a random dwarf stranger and she also did not want to reveal her identity.
Though it pained her, there was no other option but to give up on that innocent furball for now.
Tang Yue understood this, but nevertheless, it made her a bit sad.
The duo continued casually walking to one of the cloth stores.
They didn't talk to each other a lot since Masters were rarely that nice to slaves and maintained a distance from each other.
Tang Yue went inside the store and bought a bunch of robes from the vendor. Charlotte silently stood behind her with her head bent low.
But the vendor elf still got a whiff of her. "Mate, where did you buy this slave? She looks extremely top quality!"
"Hai. Hai. Just found her by chance in the market the other day. She costed me a lot." The scholarly-looking dwarf Tang Yue smirked and waved her hand.
Her actions were fluid and she didn't break into any awkward pause. She was really getting into the character.
"Would you be interested in exchanging her with mine? I can pay you a hefty amount!!" The elf greedily smiled.
"Should I?" Tang Yue grinned and looked at Charlotte who hurriedly shook her head.
The elven vendor on the other hand was not too pleased with this reaction.
"How dare a slave behave like this? You need some disciplining!" He gruffly mumbled.
Since Tang Yue looked like a harmless easily bullied dwarf dude, he stepped up his game and started trying to strong-arm her.
"Give that half breed to me. I will thoroughly discipline her. You can take my snake in exchange."
"Snakes are the new trend in Eldoria. All the snake slaves get bought out in seconds in the market."
"You just count yourself lucky for this trade."
Tang Yue's face immediately changed. Her gentle and kind eyes had a glint in them and her aura darkened.
You want to trade my own kind as a slave with me? She seethed inwardly.
She didn't want to engage in this conversation any longer and started walking away from the shop after throwing a couple of gold coins as payment for the clothes.
Charlotte as well obediently followed behind her.
"You…!" The elven vendor angrily shouted behind them.
"Wimpy little bastard. Don't even know what's good for you!" He grumbled watching their disappearing figures.
