Chapter 320: Little Plum is a glutton Part3

After spending another sleepless night with Charlotte, Tang Yue once again headed over to the heavenly flame cultivation chamber.

She felt like she was proficient enough in the refinement techniques and hence wanted to try smithing a spirit weapon.

What better way to do this than in the presence of the nourishing fire essence and earthen essence of the cultivation chamber.

So Tang Yue informed Grandmaster Miller and headed towards the royal mines. 

She, of course, took Little Plum with her, who was more than overjoyed.

"Masta. Thank you. Thank you." The wolf jumped up and down.

Both Little Plum and Little Blue were growing and developing every single day.

So they were no longer little and the sight of the adult wolf trying to act cute like an innocent cub only came out as comical in the end.

Tang Yue chuckled and the two walked over to the quarry.

As if they were fated to meet, Tang Yue saw a familiar figure walking out of the mountain as soon as she neared the area.

Layla was happily humming a cheerful tune and she had a smug expression on her face.

She was in fact just heading out from the heavenly flame stone chamber.

These days she was able to withstand the pressure from the heavenly flame a lot easier even though she didn't achieve any breakthrough in her strength.

This was both shocking and at the same time an unexpected pleasant surprise.

So her mood has been very good lately. 

She felt as if her time to shine had finally come and she was going to prove her worth.

Hence, the woman wore a very content expression as she happily walked out.

But this expression quickly changed on seeing Tang Yue.

She looked at Tang Yue's smiling face, their gazes met, and then she immediately paled. 

She cursed her bad luck for meeting this godforsaken dwarven girl and quickly bent her head down.

Then without lifting it back up even once, she stuck her tail behind her legs and ran the hell way in a random opposite direction.

Tang Yue saw the disappearing dwarven girl and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Am I really that scary?" She asked Little Plum curiously.

"Masta is the most beautiful. Masta is the nicest." Little Plum instantly answered back without even thinking twice.

Tang Yue burst out laughing. What a shameless little ass kisser!

She somehow felt like this guy was buttering her up today purposefully.

"Good boy." She patted the wolf's head and continued walking over to the mine entrance.

The dwarf sitting over there recognized her familiar face and instantly stiffened.

Almost everyone in the royal city knew about Yana now, her fame almost rivaling Layla and her bad temper.

So this time he didn't talk any unnecessary nonsense and directly got to the point, even bowing and greeting her first.

"I would like to use the cultivation chamber again." Tang Yue placed a jade slip in front of him.

This time the elf did not doubt her words. He only respectfully reminded her.

"Miss Yana, sorry to inform you." 

"In order to use the cultivation room, you first have to register and book time beforehand." 

"Without that… I am afraid it's not possible."

And then he quickly added, so that Tang Yue doesn't misunderstand him. 

"These are not my rules. They come from the royal palace. I have no say in this." He awkwardly scratched his head.

Hmmm… Tang Yue furrowed her brows and looked at the dwarf, rapping her fingers on the desk.

No matter how much she tried to analyze him, the man didn't look like he was lying or purposefully making trouble for her.

So there was really nothing she could do there, except wait.

"Then can I register my name?" She asked, disappointment filling her voice.

The dwarf nodded and quickly took out a sheet of parchment. 

He then gave Tang Yue a quilt and some ink to write down her needs on it.

"What the heck?" Tang Yue sharp eyes almost bulged out in surprise after seeing the parchment.

The cultivation chamber was completely booked for almost an entire lunar cycle.

This was utter bullshit!

As she was contemplating her impossible situation, an amused voice sounded behind her, laughing at her misery.

"Hello. Miss beautiful." 

A tall and handsome dwarf, too tall for a person belonging to the dwarven race, was standing near Tang Yue.

Jorden extended his hand, intending to hold Tang Yue's hand and greet her by kissing, but Tang Yue was faster than him and quickly pulled her hand away.

The man in front of her was also in the Saint realm so she didn't want to take any unnecessary risks of exposing her identity.

But Jorden didn't seem to be offended by it. He chuckled lightly and cocked his head to the side. "Aha Ha Ha Ha. What an adorable little miss."

Tang Yue immediately recognized the dwarven prince in front of her.

She knew that this man had secretly tailed her movements a few times, though she had been a bit too busy with other things to worry about this.

But now that he was standing in front of her, Tang Yue couldn't help but wonder what he was up to.

She knitted her brows and greeted the man, bending her head only a little. "Greetings, your highness."

"Mmm… No need for these formalities." Jorden smiled. "I see that you are in quite a pickle?"

The dwarf leaned over, closer to Tang Yue, and peered at the parchment, making her again take a step back.

The more she moved away, the more Jorden felt like teasing her. 

So seeing that her back was almost up against the wall, he further stepped closer to her, invading her personal space.

And he even smiled charmingly while doing so. "Oh. This is not really a big deal. I can most definitely help you with this."

His actions did not escape Tang Yue's eyes as a subtle glint flashed across her gaze and she skillfully side-stepped, evading the man's presence once more.

But she then casually replied as if nothing had happened. 

"Oh. I see. That would indeed be amazing." She took the bait which he had laid out for her.

She didn't think too much about it though. 

She assumed that the man was probably trying to court her or something after witnessing her talents.

You want to show off and impress me? Sure go ahead and flaunt it all.

Tang Yue smiled gently looking at the dwarf.

Jorden chuckled at her attitude and was even more amused. This girl was clearly playing him!

He did not mind it though. He looked at the dwarf and waved his hand. 

"Let her in for how much ever time she wants. Give me the list of names and I will inform them."

Ah~~~~ The dwarf immediately panicked. 

He didn't know if such a thing was allowed but the Prince himself was ordering him, so he was in a dilemma.

In the end, since the cultivation chamber was free right now, he relented and nodded at Tang Yue.

Tang Yue grinned. Yay!

She didn't care why or for what purpose the dwarf was being so nice to her, but it solved her problem temporarily, so she was more than happy to accept the help.

"Thank you very much, your highness. I am extremely grateful for this help and won't forget it." 

She once again gracefully bowed at the prince as she crossed him.

Jorden smiled and gently nodded in return. For some reason, he really liked this girl.

She had made an impression on him.

As Tang Yue walked past him, the dwarf casually extended his hand and caught a few strands of her jet black hair, when the look on his face suddenly changed.

Jorden stiffened up, standing erect in full alert. 

The dwarf in front of him and Tang Yue who had already walked away didn't notice it, but the man's smiling face was frozen and it visibly darkened.

He had only touched her momentarily, that too just the strands of her hair, but that was more than enough for him.

Jordan instantly knew who Tang Yue was and his eyes twinkled with an unfathomable intent.

Because… unlike Tang Yue had assessed, Jorden was neither a dwarf nor a Saint realm expert…

The man was in fact someone whom Tang Yue had already met in the past, William Bastion, the human being singlehandedly wreaking havoc in the nine countries.

Without uttering anything else to the dwarf guarding the entrance, the man walked down, seemingly engrossed in his thoughts.

"What a weird anomaly… Could it be possibly…" 

His mind wandered to the image of a certain serpentine woman whom he had met a while back in the ancient labyrinth.

From touching Tang Yue's hair, he had only recognized her race and her disguise, but he still didn't know who exactly she was.

"Interesting. Very interesting. What is a snake doing in the dwarven empire?"

"My intuition was not wrong. It looks like I have to pay you extra attention after all."
