Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 18: First Meeting

Tang Yue hummed a cheerful note as she patiently collected the leftovers from various practice chambers.

Of course, she didn’t forget to pop inside one or two handfuls of mushy chunks every now and then.

After all, it was important to make full use of the digestive machine without sparing any second.

Every single time a notification popped in her ears, a small smile would appear on her dull face, brightening it up immediately.

The woman who had barely smiled in the last eighteen years was now finally filled with a vigor for life. She felt alive.

As she was absent-mindedly doing her mundane chores by walking around different chambers, she came across a specific chamber which was very slightly open.

She hesitated a bit but in the end decided to skip that chamber.

She didn’t want to disturb and offend anyone on the off chance that the occupant was busy.

As she walked away, voices from inside the room vaguely reached her ears, making her stop suddenly, frozen in her tracks.

An ethereal being sat in front of a dusty worn down cauldron as he added the next herb that the formula called for.

“Yes, your highness, all orders for this month have already been processed.”

The association master humbly reported the monthly details to the crown prince, Xander.

“Good then.” A clear magnetic voice sounded from the room, holding the domineering weight of a thousand swords.

He listened to the monthly reports while intently gazing at the cauldron in front of him.

As his profound enigmatic voice wafted out through the narrow opening, Tang Yue stood rooted in her spot.

Crown prince Xander? She couldn’t help but shiver slightly. This was a demi-god! An existence that stood at the pinnacle!

The occupant of the room obviously noticed her insignificant presence and his sculpted eyebrows creased in annoyance.

Xander was already used to these women trying all sorts of ploys to get close to him, and he made it a habit to never entertain any of them.

He decisively ignored her and continued on.

The association master as well noticed her presence and hurriedly spoke a few words.

“Your highness, Royal Consort Yue joined the alchemy association as a disciple yesterday.”

But Xander just nodded and signaled the association master to continue with other matters.

“No response?” Tang Yue smirked. Though she wasn’t really surprised.

“Well, there wasn’t any response for even the blatant assassination attempts. So why should there be one now? duh.”

“What a cold-hearted prince…”

She quickly walked away, not daring to linger around there any longer.

But she did take note of the chamber number.

If the crown prince himself is personally concocting something, it definitely had to be something amazing!

So this might very well turn out to be a potentially good looting place and she didn’t want to miss out.

After that spine chilling encounter with the cold-blooded prince, the rest of Tang Yue’s day was pretty much eventless, except for the fact that her attributes got a significant buff, and her space pouch got a lot more dregs.

And towards the end of the day, the quest was also easily completed.

Ding. Daily Quest completed

Ding. Your body has been sufficiently upgraded

Ding. 5 Experience points have been rewarded

“I worked so hard and the reward is only 5 experience points? Damn. This leveling up system better not be a scam!”

Tang Yue playfully cursed under her breath at the ridiculous stinginess.

But, she didn’t really care about these things.

As long as she is able to upgrade her weak constitution, she was already satisfied!

Tang Yue summoned her status screen and quickly checked her stats to verify this upgrade.

______________

Her elemental resistances and her poison resistance had all gone up by 1 Level in the mere span of a day! actually less than a day!!

Tang Yue’s thin lips broke out into a wide grin. This was better than what she had expected. Just how broken was this!

This evolve skill is a miraculous ability!

If this could actually somehow help her heal the crippled meridians, she could start cultivating again!!

Tears glistened at the crescent ends of Tang Yue’s phoenix-like eyes.

Just how many years had she tolerated brutal heartless treatment from her own family members because of this?!

Just because of her crippled meridians, her dad, who once regarded her as a precious jewel, threw her away mercilessly.

She had to endure so many insults and degrading comments from her step-mother and her step-sisters.

On top of that, each and every single irrelevant junk in the palace also dared to look down on her and stomp on her at every given opportunity.

Tang Yue clenched her fingers tightly. All of this will change soon. She could potentially start cultivating again!

She still had some space in the stomach. So she gobbled up some more leftover dregs from the space pouch.

Assaulted by that familiar stench, Tang Yue couldn’t help but laugh at her misery.

“I need to earn more money and eat fresh herbs rather than this stale trash.” She resolutely declared.

Since the two special occupants still seemed to be busy, Tang Yue quickly finished her trash duty and headed back to the palace for the day.
