Chapter 216: Engagement ring Part3

Tang Yue smiled bitterly as she ignored the useless implications and examined the contents of the stupid ring.

She didn't have time to fathom the actions of that complicated man right now.

Tang Yue slowly took out the contents of the ring, except for the gold and a couple of armors she found inside.

There were about a hundred small gem crystals with a green hue that she could vaguely recognize as disguise runes similar to the ones Empress Freya and Charlotte had given her.

There was also a jade slip along with the disguise runes.

There was even a bunch of dwarven clothing and other personal items, some of them looked like they were partially used.

"Did he kidnap someone and give me their identity?" Tang Yue was puzzled to see such in-depth attention to detail.

She took the jade slip back in her hands and crushed it to study its contents.

A torrent of miscellaneous information entered her brain and she clicked her tongue as she perused them one by one.

Coincidentally, Xander had exactly done what she had guessed just now.

He had indeed kidnapped someone, to be more accurate, one of the dwarven village chieftain's daughters.

She was currently imprisoned in the elven underground prisons, giving Tang Yue the opportunity to use her identity.

There was also some general information about the girl. 

She was seventeen years old, a very calm and meek girl, with a very high affinity to the earth elemental. 

However, unfortunately for her and fortunately for them, she lacked talent in blacksmithing.

Xander had explained everything in detail in the jade slip.

The ideal plan would be for Tang Yue to suddenly act as if she had achieved a breakthrough while fighting in the labyrinth.

The talentless chieftain's daughter would then be readily taught all the smithing techniques just like her father had wanted to do for a long time.

And Tang Yue who would be acting as this daughter will be in a position to learn everything.

Especially since she was acting like a chieftain's daughter, it was possible that she would even be able to access higher-grade techniques and the dwarven secret technique, the spirit smithing.

When compared to the compromised disguise which Freya provided and the random disguise that Charlotte had provided, this was already a hundred times better.

It also had the best chance to succeed.

Everything had been perfectly prepared and tailor-made for her, even the specific gender.

So without a doubt, it would be in Tang Yue's best interest to use this set of disguise crystals.

But… she still felt ashamed to take help from the lunatic bastard…

He went through so many efforts just for the sake of her dwarven identity but he couldn't take 2 more seconds to give this to her in person?

And what was with the damned ring?

The very thought of that man and his hot and cold behavior infuriated her!!!

She looked at the crystals in front of her for a while before finally sighing and deciding to use what he had given her.

When one's life is on the line, suddenly a few minor bruises to the ego don't matter so much, no matter how vexing it might be.

Tang Yue explained to Charlotte the new plan.

"Hmm… It is indeed better to use whatever his highness has given you and follow his instructions." Charlotte agreed as well.

She then paused for a while and added. "He might act very rude and cold, but he is not someone who will stab an enemy behind the back without good reason."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Tang Yue looked at her and nodded. 

She also didn't think that Xander was someone who would purposefully give her hope and help, only to crush her mercilessly in the end.

If he intended harm to her at all, he wouldn't even have interfered with this in the first place.

At least that much, she was sure about.

The thing that she was worried about was his other side… the wicked sadistic side… like this ring…

Tang Yue sighed and put that damned thing away. Out of sight and out of mind! 

She didn't want to think about the stupid ring right now.

She stood up from the bed and started packing their things.

"Are we leaving? We just got here?" Charlotte asked.

"It is mentioned in the jade slip that I have to leave the capital city immediately and reach the Kuji village, down south of here."

"Since the journey from the north to the south is perilous, all the dwarven empire citizens with lower cultivation bases are traveling together."

"Oh, that sounds perfect." Charlotte nodded. She couldn't help but feel slightly nervous. 

"Is it alright for me to still come with you? Will your identity be affected?" She asked.

"No, it should be fine. If anyone asks me, I will just say that I rescued from the city's slave market."

"I am supposed to be a very nice and kind girl." Tang Yue chuckled, making a playful evil expression and laughing sounds.

Charlotte simply smiled in reply. You are a very nice and kind person. She thought inwardly, but it didn't say it out loud.

Tang Yue reverted back to her serpentine human form and then prepared to crush another rune to get into the new disguise when a warm furball pounced on her with the full force it could muster.

"Awww… Sorry, my dear. I forgot about you." Tang Yue hugged Little Blue for a while and patted it.

She then put the small wolf cub down and crushed the disguise rune in front of it.

Little Blue blinked innocently and watched her figure transform.

Instead of her slender blue figure, a dark-skinned slightly healthier figure appeared. 

Her features as well morphed accordingly and she now looked like a vibrant young dwarven girl. 

Little Blue cocked its head to the side and stared at the new person in front of it for a while.

Being a mutated low-grade beast, it had quite a good amount of intelligence.

So it somewhat understood what had just happened and was not alarmed.

Tang Yue chuckled at the cub's cute behavior and she then changed into a set of appropriate clothes.

Soon, the three were ready to leave.
