Chapter 233: She is the worst Part3

"Argh. How do I get my hands on this last centipede?" Tang Yue pondered and quickly walked back to the house.

It was already late in the night when she finished gulping down the entire centipede body and so she hurried back, not wanting to unnecessarily raise any suspicions.

Other than her massive binge eating episode, Tang Yue had also managed to cultivate quite a bit of earth elemental essence and could feel the ball of energy in her lower abdomen growing more and more in density.

Even though she only had lesser earth elemental affinity, her Demi-God realm soul strength and her Emperor realm mental strength were aiding her quite a bit in steady cultivation progress.

All in all, it was quite a productive day, and Tang Yue cheerfully skipped back to the main house, along with Little Blue.

The wolf cub also got a lot of meat to eat today and revealed a similar happy content expression on its face similar to his glutton master.

Together the duo was a sight to see!

Kosa who was sitting in the courtyard at the entrance of the house and chatting with two other dwarves smiled warmly as he saw his cheerful daughter and her pet.

Tang Yue politely bowed and nodded back in greeting and couldn't help but overhear their conversation as she walked past them.

The two dwarves were trying to strong-arm Kosa into yielding his mine to the Nibbon clan, one of the prominent clans in a neighboring dwarven village.

Tang Yue frowned. "I need to do something about this situation soon." She muttered under her breath and walked into the house.

No matter how she thought about it, Barton's family was behind everything that was happening to the old dwarf.

If they hadn't bribed and blackmailed dwarves of this village, then this old man wouldn't be in this condition.

Tang Yue pensively pondered a long-term solution for this problem when a big ball of energy ran over to her and hugged her tightly, followed by a beautiful elf running behind him.

"Ah~" Tang Yue stumbled slightly on seeing the elf. She swallowed the saliva in her mouth and lowered her head in guilt.

"Big sis. Big sis." The little kid chirped, demanding her to pay attention to him.

Xander was extremely curious about what his snake had been up to the entire day. 

He thought of sneaking out a couple of times and spying on her, but in the end, decided not to do so.

Tang Yue chuckled and picked him up, closing her room door behind her.

"Did you miss me?" She twirled around, holding the kid, and spun him playfully.

Xander almost forgot to play his part, seeing the happy little smile on her face. He was completely dazed.

How can she be this cheerful when she knows that the elven royal family was against her? He stared at the girl without blinking.

"Uh oh. Are you feeling dizzy?" Tang Yue stopped spinning.

Xander weakly smiled. In the beginning, it was him who had been messing with her, disguising himself as a small child, that too as an elven and serpentine hybrid.

If he wanted to, he could have easily revealed to her the entire plan and made her life easier.

However, he didn't do so and intended to tease the woman a bit, before revealing himself.

But now… everything had turned upside down… he didn't even know anymore who was messing with whom.

All these new and warm memories with her were something that he had never expected. 

He nuzzled the wolf cub, looking at her lovingly as the woman busied herself. 

Tang Yue wanted to take a proper bath before sleeping today. 

After spending two days in a mine and devouring an entire centipede, she felt disgusting all over and wanted to wash her body.

She was about to fetch the hot water from the kitchen, and Charlotte stopped her. "You… You rest in the bath vessel. I will prepare the water for you." She said and ran away.

Tang Yue only felt more and more guilty. Every time she saw the elf, she was reminded of the quest deadline that was looming over her.

She lifted the kid absentmindedly and walked over to the backyard to let Little Blue and the kid play with each other while she took a bath.

Xander as usual hugged her tightly with a smile and complied. He thought back to the time when he had barged into her room and had seen her naked.

A small blush crept over the boy's pale blue face and he grinned mischievously.

But suddenly, the kid's eyes widened. 

A faint aroma came from the girl's mouth, that he was able to easily identify.

"This… Did she eat a quagmire centipede?" He was surprised. He slightly leaned closer to her without being too obvious and sniffed her.

Xander's nose was very sensitive. He was a Demi-God after all. So he was able to confirm his doubt in an instant.

The woman had indeed eaten at least some quagmire centipede meat! But why would she do so? 

He himself had tasted that meat in the past while using some of the blood for a potion and it was thoroughly disgusting.

Did she like that type of meat?

She has such a weird taste! He chuckled in amusement.

After Tang Yue dropped him off in the backyard, he reluctantly acted like he was playing with the cub for a little while, before slouching against a pillar and lazily daydreaming about a certain delicious memory.

"What a sly woman! You need to be punished a little for hiding so many things from me and not trusting me."

A wicked grin surfaced on the small kid's face. 

He rubbed his hands together and waited for a little before leaving the backyard and sneakily entering the house again.

"He He He. Time to take a peak again." Xander grinned. 

Even though she was in the guise of a dwarf now, he still anticipated seeing her blushing embarrassed expressions and smiled sheepishly.
