Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 217: The abandonned kid Part1

Outside the Eldorian royal capital, two figures hurried through the lush green trees.

One was a young dwarven girl and the other was a young vixen elf hybrid girl.

Both the women were almost of the same height and had beautiful elegant features.

The dwarven girl looked a bit healthier than the vixen, but she still retained an aura of kindness and elegance.

And these two vibrant young women were followed closely by a small wolf cub.

Huff… Huff… Huff… 

The little wolf ran as fast as it could to make sure that it didn’t fall behind.

Tang Yue wanted to pick up the poor little thing in her arms but she thought that the exercise would do him some good.

So she let the wolf cub run for a little while.

Several people had beast cubs as pets and hunting companions so Little Blue was not too much of an oddball.

No one would even look twice at him. After all, he was a mere low-grade beast. There was nothing special about him.

So Tang Yue did not bother hiding or disguising the little wolf and the trio casually strolled through the forest.

The forest in between the royal capital city and the Kuji village was not that dangerous. 

It was almost a domesticated territory and had been thoroughly cleared out of even low-grade beasts.

At most a couple of common-grade beasts roamed here and there.

And more importantly, Tang Yue was also no longer the weakling of the past.

She was not a cripple who had to be even wary of the harmless common-grade beasts.

She was now a formidable cultivator with one leg already in the Demi-God realm.

So Tang Yue and Charlotte casually walked through the forest without any worry or fear.

Just past this forest, they would be joining the rest of the group, which was where the real danger would start.

As the two women silently walked side by side, one thinking about a certain ring and the other happily taking in the fresh air of the forest, suddenly a loud cry sounded in the distance.

It sounded like a child was in pain or was being attacked.

So Tang Yue scooped up Little Blue in her arms and the duo rushed to the source of the sound at their full speed.

They didn’t sense any high-level beasts or other cultivators present in the vicinity so they were curious as to what frightened this child.

The two women quickly reached the small pond near which the crying sound had originated.

Lying there unconsciously on the ground was a small young boy, probably around 8 to 10 years of age.

The boy surprisingly was a mixed-race child. To be precise, he was an elven snake hybrid child.

His clothes were shabby, his skin was pale blue in color but he had the long slender ears of an elf.

Tang Yue hurriedly checked the fainted young child’s condition, placing his head on her lap.

She sprinkled some water on his face and was about to feed him some health potion when the boy’s long eyes fluttered slightly.

He groaned softly and opened his eyes, regaining his consciousness.

“What happened child?” Tang Yue asked. 

She was worried that the boy might be afraid of her because she was a dwarf right now, but he didn’t look scared at all.

Must be because of my young non-threatening appearance. Tang Yue assumed.

She asked him again. “Are you alright? Does it hurt anywhere? How did you get here?”

The boy blinked innocently and looked around with a worried expression.

“Big sis, I don’t remember anything.” He mumbled in confusion.

“Where are your mom and dad?” Charlotte asked.

But the boy did not look at her at all.

He was just looking at Tang Yue with teary puppy dog eyes.

Charlotte rolled her eyes and stayed silent. 

For some reason, she had a bad feeling about this kid. It was just a weird intuitive gut feeling.

As it is, they were already in a lot of danger. They really didn’t need another baggage to drag them down.

So she leaned closer to Tang Yue and whispered in her ears so that the boy could not hear.

“Hey, he is not in any danger. We should go now. His parents will definitely come back for him.”

“But what if they didn’t? We can at least take him with us to the village right? It’s almost nightfall. Poor kid, he will get scared.” Tang Yue sighed.

She also thought that this situation was troublesome and inconvenient but she didn’t have the heart to leave this child to fend for himself.

However, while these two were busy discussing, they failed to see a cold cruel glint flash in the boy’s eyes.

He looked at the vixen standing so close to the dwarf and a crimson hue surfaced in his eyes momentarily.

He was glaring at the vixen as if he wanted to tear her apart.

Charlotte could almost feel the boy’s menacing eyes on her and she casually turned to look.

The boy was really glaring at her angrily!

Seeing Charlotte distracted, Tang Yue also turned to look, but this time his expression had completely changed.

He had a sweet and innocent smile on his face and looked very adorable.

Hmmm… Tang Yue looked at the cute child and sighed helplessly. “Let’s just take him to the Kuji village.” She said.

Charlotte gasped at the cute act that the child was putting on now, but she ended up agreeing reluctantly.

He was just a kid. What’s the big deal? She thought.

“Come, I will take you somewhere safe.” Tang Yue softly spoke and picked the kid up.

He was clearly well beyond the age at which children would feel comfortable and happy when the adults picked them up.

But weirdly, this kid looked like he was enjoying Tang Yue’s special treatment and affection.

He hugged her tightly and did not seem embarrassed or uncomfortable at all.

Hmmm… Charlotte looked at the boy and his weird behavior and couldn’t help but feel that there was something fishy here.
