Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 280: A kiss for the golden hands Part4

Charlotte was watching and admiring Tang Yue’s actions from a distance like a hawk, but suddenly Tang Yue had disappeared right in front of her eyes.

The young dwarven girl had been busily packing her things up just a couple of seconds ago and now she had mysteriously disappeared?

Charlotte was slightly worried. After all, they were both under disguise in a not-so-friendly Empire.

Though they had the power to deal with whatever happens, they still had to be extremely alert and act fast.

Charlotte also saw that several people were now walking around here and there, even in the contest space, helping the participants clean up their station.

Especially, Tang Yue’s section was almost empty. So she didn’t hesitate and walked over to see where had Tang Yue disappeared to.

Apart from the small tents with blast furnace setups, there was no other enclosed space in the area.

So Charlotte directly went to the furnace station near Tang Yue’s anvil.

She made sure that her face was half-covered and ducked inside cautiously.

But just after taking a single step inside, Charlotte immediately froze. 

She didn’t dare move any further.

She saw Xander’s familiar imposing figure and the man was gently looking into Tang Yue’s eyes as if a lover would do.

Her face instantly paled and Charlotte even forgot to breathe.

She suddenly remembered something important.

This man… from the very beginning… he only had eyes for Tang Yue…

So, of course, it was to be expected that he checked in on her once in a while.

How could she have forgotten this? She was the third wheel here.

Charlotte was sure that she no longer harbored any feelings for the man whom she had chased for almost her entire life.

But still, for some reason, this realization felt unnaturally painful to her.

Blood drained from her face and she stared at the two, not knowing how to react.

Xander couldn’t be happier with her plight. 

That’s right. She is mine! He acted like a hooligan and chuckled coldly.

Tang Yue looked at the two awkwardly. She somehow felt that this scene was extremely familiar.

Before things could take a turn for the worst, she cleared her throat. 

“Your highness… This… Your presence here… “

Tang Yue tried her best to hint at the message ‘please get out’ without actually saying so.

Xander, obviously, understood what she meant, but still lingered around showing no signs of leaving.

He glared at Charlotte, visible hatred in his eyes. 

“It looks like I need to thank you for taking care of my wife in my absence.”

His cold voice made Charlotte shiver and she trembled with a guilty look.

“Your highness… Please… ” Tang Yue, once again reminded him.

For heaven’s sake, this was a public place and anyone could walk in on them at any moment!

This was far too dangerous!!!

Xander’s face slightly turned and he grimaced.

Why does she want me to leave that badly? He felt wronged.

The man turned towards Tang Yue and with a sullen face, he gently lifted her hands.

“You have golden hands, my dear.”

Umm… What??? Tang Yue bitterly smiled. 

She was unable to comprehend any of the devil’s actions today.

Before she could ask him what he had meant, the man gave a quick peck on her hand, and walked out of the tent in long strides, with his robe covering his face and his body.

The brown-robed figure then quickly dissolved into the crowd outside.

Just watching the man’s back, made Charlotte feel a chill creeping up her spine.

“He is gone. He is gone.” Tang Yue patted her.

She herself hadn’t fully recovered from this unscheduled visit, but she could clearly see that Charlotte was a lot more affected. So she consoled her.

Charlotte weakly nodded in response but the duo didn’t linger there any longer.

They quickly cleaned everything and went back to the inn.

Only after closing the door, they paused and took a moment to breathe.

Both the women sighed simultaneously and both of them chuckled at the coordinated reaction. 

“Why the hell is that man always so scary!!!” Tang Yue was the first to start bad-mouthing the villain.

Charlotte didn’t say anything and simply smiled.

Tang Yue couldn’t help but gulp nervously after seeing her melancholic expression. 

After all, she knew firsthand just how much Charlotte loved that madman.

“I also don’t know why he is always so rude to you. Don’t worry. He will come around.” Tang Yue tried to console her.

Her words were actually genuine and not some feeble attempt at fake concern.

Tang Yue didn’t hate Xander but she didn’t love him as well. At least not in a possessive all-consuming way.

At best, she was slightly infatuated with the man.

Besides, only someone like Charlotte was truly capable of standing beside someone like him.

Tang Yue neither wanted that position nor the power that came along with that position.

Charlotte, on the other hand, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Tang Yue’s words only made her realize that she was in fact jealous.

But the person she was jealous of… was not Tang Yue…

…

…

…

In the Dwarven royal palace guest courtyard, two elves were sitting leisurely and sipping on some wine.

Just from the heavenly aroma that wafted out, one could tell that the wine was a top-grade one.

Its taste was also as divine as its scent.

Enjoying such a fine delicacy under the gentle light of the moon was truly a harmonious experience.

A calm and serene atmosphere engulfed the two elves as they silently tasted the herbal wine.

Breaking this beautiful silence, Xavier suddenly opened his mouth.

He had a very serious and solemn expression on his face when he spoke.

“Brother, have you finally understood the charm of the spirit beasts?”

Xander sighed. He had no intention of replying to his indecent brother. 

But Xavier was not done and once again spoke. 

“You already have the snake, how about you leave that elf vixen hybrid to me?”

Huh? Xander choked on the mouthful of wine and he spat everything out.
