Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 257: Who is this maniac? Part1

“This… Yue!!! You are a genius.” Charlotte looked up at the tired young girl with utter awe and respect.

The dagger she held in her arms surprisingly had a golden sheen even after finish and more importantly, it had a special effect – burn!

This meant that the dagger was capable of burning the skin and the flesh or any other material it pierced.

Charlotte clutched it tightly and subconsciously threw a look at the little kid lazing around.

“I suddenly feel like testing out this dagger.” She grimaced.

Xander scoffed and ignored her. He then ran towards Tang Yue with a thousand mile smile on his face.

“Big sis is so awesome.” He hugged Tang Yue tightly.

Since she was sitting down and resting, he also managed to grab her face and place a dozen kisses on her cheeks.

Tang Yue couldn’t help but chuckle warmly at the cute and adorable boy.

“Listen, brat. You are not supposed to kiss women so casually.” Charlotte immediately reprimanded him.

“If he is like this in this age itself, he is going to grow up and become a womanizer.” She jested with a smirk.

“Shut up, you hag. My kisses are only for big sis and not for women like you. Hmph.”

“And when I grow up, I will marry big sis.” The kid proudly declared.

Charlotte’s mouth curved into a big o on her hearing the outlandish remarks.

“Dream on.” She snickered.

Tang Yue chuckled, but she had no plans of getting in between this bickering duo. 

She just silently watched them go at each other and laughed.

Since she was too tired to begin forging another weapon now and considering that they haven’t gone out in three to four days, the group went out to have a nice meal.

They wandered around for a bit, but eventually ended up going to the same eatery that she had visited earlier with Kosa.

Tang Yue even ordered similar dishes. She only ate a little, but the other three, including Little Blue dug in ravenously.

Tang Yue chuckled at the pleasant scene. It was very rare for the two to not fight with each other and do something quietly.

After a while, when a vixen walked over to their table again to clear out some empty dishes, Tang Yue stopped her.

She wanted to gather some more information about the general scenario in the dwarven royal city.

So she chatted with the vixen for a while about various things.

While Charlotte listened curiously to what they were talking about, Xander silently broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn’t like the way Tang Yue was laughing and chatting innocently with the seductive vixen.

This… This snake… Don’t tell me that she is going to take another lover??? Xander started panicking.

He intently looked at Tang Yue to see if he could detect any signs of unusual interest or blushing.

In the end, seeing that the duo only chatted about random things, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely scared that by the time Tang Yue returned back to the elven lands and married him in a grand royal wedding, she would already have a harem of her own.

Then what was he supposed to do???

Xander’s head was spinning and he bitterly smiled. Sometimes life was just not fair.

While his mind was running wild, Tang Yue had already gathered all the information that she needed.

When the group returned back to the smithy, she and Charlotte busily discussed their situation.

“So the apprentice tests are held at the beginning of every lunar cycle.”

“And the royal blacksmithing contest is held at the end of every lunar cycle.”

“The royal dwarven elders typically selected personal disciples from this contest and the winner even gets a special reward on top of it.” Tang Yue summarized their situation.

“Tch. Tch. It looks like we have narrowly missed our window.” She mumbled.

“Mmm… It’s alright, Yue. ” Charlotte patted her. She could see why Tang Yue was so upset. 

If she had just come here a few weeks earlier then everything could have been smoothly finished by the end of this lunar cycle. 

Now they had to wait a while to achieve the same thing.

While these two grumbled about this slight inconvenience, Xander rolled his eyes endlessly.

These two had conveniently forgotten about the fact that Tang Yue also needed some time to improve her smithing skills.

If anyone else heard their troubling issues and problems, they would have banged their head against a wall till it bled.

In fact, most of the dwarves here had been training for their entire life for this exact same contest.

But Tang Yue had managed to leap over all these hard working sincere dwarves within a matter of days.

Xander sighed in exasperation. 

He was deemed as a genius in alchemy. But surely, he was nothing when compared to his slutty snake!!! 

LIFE TRULY WAS NOT FAIR!

As the duo continued lamenting and talking about other things, Tang Yue suddenly thought of something.

“Why don’t I just participate in the contest directly?”

“I don’t seem to recall any rule or regulation that I needed to be an apprentice or a trainee at a smithy in order to participate in the contest.”

“Hmm… That is indeed correct.” 

“But Yue, you will need to be able to at least forge a high-grade or rare grade weapon to have a decent chance of winning in this contest.” Charlotte worriedly said.

“I have heard about these contests from my father also before. It is extremely tough and the competition is very fierce.”

“And since the royal family typically provided the high-grade raw materials, there is also a lot of participants, to begin with.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to just wait and participate next time?”

Xander also subconsciously nodded. 

He as well knew about these contests and had even personally witnessed one or two.

Only Master Blacksmiths and higher typically participated in these contests. For beginners, this was just a time waste. They really had no chance.
