Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 295: If I was giving it to your mother… Part4

Tang Yue was not sure if the old man would respond to her since the last time he had hidden his presence.

But as soon as she thought about him, the familiar nasal voice sounded.

“Dumb little snake, are you looking for me?”

The veins on Tang Yue’s forehead throbbed on hearing that same old damned nickname.

But she swallowed her grievances and asked. 

“What would happen if progress in the cultivation of my two mana cores is different?”

“Aha Ha Ha Ha. Of course, you will burst and you will become a cripple.”

“An imbalance in your body’s cultivation center is like a ticking time bomb, dumb little snake.”

“This is exactly why I warned you not to start cultivating two elemental essences.”

“I told you so, dumb little snake.”

Tang Yue’s face immediately darkened several shades. She didn’t even care that much about the problem at that. 

Where there were problems, there were also solutions.

But this damned old man’s attitude had clearly worsened and had even become rotten.

Did he really have to laugh at her problems?

Tang Yue bit her lips and begrudgingly retorted back. “Old man, you are the worst teacher in the world.”

“Aha Ha Ha Ha. Are you comparing me with that slob drunkard?”

“Let me tell you dumb little snake, if I was giving it to your mother, I would also probably treat you better!”

Tang Yue gasped loudly in shock and anger. What the hell??? How dare this bastard?

“Shut up, you old goat. Don’t talk about my mother like that.”

“They were friends. They were just friends. Do you hear me?”

The old man coldly harrumphed and didn’t bother to respond to her anymore.

Tang Yue as well didn’t bicker with him any longer. 

Clearly, the bastard was in a mood and he was just randomly attacking her.

She couldn’t help but wonder if the old man was in a foul mood because of his so-called friend, that dwarf she had met inside the hut?

This man and his rotten tongue! No wonder everyone hated him!

She put the damn bastard out of her mind and started thinking about how to improve her fire essence cultivation.

When Miller returned back, Tang Yue still hadn’t started her training for the day, the next set of ten thousand bangs.

So the dwarf sternly asked her about it. “What’s wrong, brat? Why are you slacking?”

“Umm… My fire elemental core cultivation is lacking, Master.”

Oh! The dwarf’s eyebrows immediately raised in surprise. 

This was something that he was about to discuss with Tang Yue, so the dwarf was surprised when she raised the topic all on her own.

The child indeed had brilliant instincts when it came to cultivation.

He couldn’t help but feel slightly proud even.

The man’s appearance, however, remained stern and he nodded in approval. 

“Take this slip with you and also the Kirrion ore chunks.”

“If you head inside the depths of the royal mines, there will be an elder guarding one of the caves.”

“Hand over to him this slip and tell him that you are here to use my share of the cultivation time.”

“Ah~ But Master…” Tang Yue received the slip in her hands and hesitated.

A cultivation space meant for Grandmasters? That must surely be an extremely valuable resource!

If she uses up his time, then what would the dwarf use? 

Wouldn’t his own cultivation progress be affected because of this?

She didn’t want to take advantage of her mother’s friend in this manner.

“Did you go deaf, brat? I already told you to do something.” 

“So why are you still standing here? Don’t think too much.” 

“First, go there and see what it is.” 

“I guarantee that you won’t be able to withstand that place for more than an hour.”

Tang Yue nodded and quickly accepted. 

She knew that she needed every help that she could get to improve her strength and form.

So she didn’t stand on ceremony and act pretentious.

So she quickly took the slip and a few chunks of Kirrion ore in her spatial ring and headed towards the eastern mountains.

The royal mine stretched all the way throughout the entire mountain range but the main entrance was located near the royal palace itself.

It was a sort of shortcut.

So Tang Yue headed over to that entrance. From there, she would be able to get directions to all the areas in the mines.

The royal mines exclusively belonged to the dwarven royal family and the blacksmith Grandmasters.

This was because this particular mountain range contained several heavenly treasures that enabled the birth of Kirrion ore nodes.

When the dwarf at the entrance saw Tang Yue, he was immediately surprised. 

He knew and recognized everyone who came here and hers was a new face.

“Are you the new personal disciple Grandmaster Hijy accepted?” The dwarf lazily asked.

“Umm… My name is Yana. And here is a jade slip from my Master.”

“Yana?” The dwarf was confused but quickly perked up. 

So this was the famous young woman who had somehow managed to seduce the elven prince!

The dwarf looked at Tang Yue up and down a couple of times, but no matter how much he looked he just couldn’t point out why someone like the elven prince would be interested in this average-looking woman.

Well, whatever. He shrugged his shoulders casually and looked at the jade slip that the young dwarven girl had given him.

“Grandmaster Miller? Girl, are you trying to play tricks on me? I know all the Grandmasters in the Dwarven Empire.”

“Who is this Miller?”

The dwarf returned the jade slip back to Tang Yue.

“Listen brat, don’t get cocky just because some foreigners took an interest in you.”

“Not everyone can access these resources. You should go and try your luck somewhere else.”

“Perhaps you should try seducing one of the dwarven princes instead of elven princes and then you might be able to enter here.”

“Aha Ha Ha.”

“Oh. By the way, you can seduce me too!”

“I might not be able to get you access to these mines, but I can definitely show you a good time.”

The dwarf chortled arrogantly and continued mocking Tang Yue.

Tang Yue scratched her head awkwardly. Thanks to the devil, her reputation in the Dwarven Empire had tanked completely.

She didn’t have any previous enmity with this man. 

So if he was behaving this obscenely to her, then it could only mean that someone had spread some vicious rumors about her.

But leaving all that aside, how come this dwarf didn’t recognize my Master’s jade slip???

She played with the small jade slip in her hands while thinking about what to do now.

She could always go back and get Miller to personally come here but if she did that, she would definitely lose face and look like a useless little girl who needed other’s help for everything.

That man was the first formal teacher she ever had so she didn’t want to embarrass him.

After hesitating for a bit, Tang Yue asked the irritating guard another question.

“Mister, this jade slip… does this act as a key by any chance?”

“I need to access the special fire essence cultivation room and my Master said that I could use his cultivation time.”

“So does this jade slip perhaps also act as a key to the cultivation room, allowing me to enter inside and access the area?”

The dwarf immediately raised his eyebrows after hearing Tang Yue’s question. 

This girl even knew about the fire essence cultivation room?

Now he was not sure anymore if the young girl was simply messing around.

Could she really be telling the truth? Who is this Grandmaster Miller?

The chances were slim, but if what she said was indeed true, then he would be in a lot of trouble. 

Especially considering how he had let his mouth run saying this and that.

The dwarf quickly adjusted his attitude and tried to salvage the situation.

“Listen, I was just joking around earlier. Don’t take it to heart.”

“As a young girl, your reputation and virtue are very important. I have heard some bad rumors about you.” The man started lecturing Tang Yue out of nowhere.

Tang Yue shook her head helplessly. 

Her patience was growing thin because she really wanted to see what this special cultivation room was.

“Excuse me, please stop with your nonsense.” 

“Can you take me to the cultivation room or at least give me some directions?” 

“Or do you want me to go back and bring my Master here?”

“Hmm… Now that I think about it. My Master is a very short-tempered man.”

“If he knew that you were the reason, he had to waste his time and personally bring me inside… I wonder what will he do to you???” 

“I am sure that it will be extremely entertaining to watch.” 

Tang Yue grinned, her smile sending shivers down the dwarf’s spine.

He no longer dared to talk any unnecessary bullshit and signaled Tang Yue to follow him.
