Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 332: Fool me once Part2

“Master. Please. Please tell me the truth. What happened?” 

“What are these injuries? How did your vitality shrink?”

Tang Yue begged him, tears streaming down her eyes.

“Master. I know that I am completely useless, but please tell me.” 

“I swear that I will do everything I can to make it up to you. These few months are enough for me.” 

“As long as there exists a cure in this world, I will bring it to you.” 

She flopped on the ground and started bawling her eyes out like a small child.

Her words, however, were resolute and determined, not wavering in the slightest.

Miller’s heart ached, seeing her in such a state. 

This was why he didn’t want to tell her, but this bastard had revealed everything.

He scoffed at the other dwarf in the room and then turned his head away, without saying anything.

Hiru, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about Miller’s grouchy attitude.

“Mmm… It’s alright. The situation is not that bad actually.”

“What?” Tang Yue immediately looked up in alarm, hoping and praying for good news inwardly.

“Yes, his situation is indeed not hopeless. In fact, I came here to give him this news only.”

Tang Yue quickly wiped her eyes and listened to the dwarf intently.

“Master has already looked at your condition. He says that the elf can probably help you.” 

Hiru informed Miller, rather than Tang Yue. He then turned around to leave.

“Elf? Who?” Tang Yue hurriedly asked him as she did not understand who the elder was referring to.

“Your husband. Who else?” Grandmaster Hiru scoffed angrily and left the smithy.

Clearly, he was not fond of both the elves and the spirit beasts. At least the man was impartial in this aspect.

“What nonsense… That idiot is going more senile than me.” Miller grumbled.

Tang Yue, though initially dumbfounded, was now pleasantly surprised.

“Child. Don’t get your hopes up.” 

“There indeed is an old pill recipe to repair vitality, but it is not that reliable.” Miller sighed.

Tang Yue shook her head. “No Master. I believe in his capabilities. He will definitely help us.”

Miller, however, still shook his head. “No child. I don’t need any treatment. I am already tired of living.”

“I don’t want you to request anything from anyone on my behalf.” He resolutely denied her words.

“Master, you cannot do this.” Tang Yue shook her head. She could tell why the dwarf was reacting like this.

But she was not disheartened. She knew what to say.

She swallowed her saliva and raised a familiar name in order to get him to agree.

She had a feeling that if she said this, then the man might relent and agree to get the treatment.

“Master, are you so sure that my mother is dead?”

“What if I find her in the future in some corner of this world?”

“If she asks for you, then what would I reply to her?” Tang Yue casually shrugged.

The dwarf who was listless and tired up until now suddenly flashed his eyes open.

He stared at Tang Yue, unable to respond to her questions.

Tang Yue did not press him any further. She knew that she had hit the nail on the head.

The dwarf hesitated a while and just like Tang Yue had expected, relented in the end.

“Alright. Ask that brat for help. We did give him the spirit smithing technique after all.”

“He better return that favor.”

Tang Yue smiled warmly as she helped the man sit up, but her face quickly changed on seeing Miller cough up a few more mouthfuls of blood.

“Master, I think we should stay here itself. I can ask him to come here and take a look.”

Miller shook his head. “No need. It would be more comfortable for him if we went there.”

“Besides, there is something else that I want to do in these next few days.”

“Alright. We will do that.” Tang Yue agreed to his decision and quickly took out two flying swords.

“No need for these. My beast can take us there.” Miller tiredly pinched his lips and let out a low whistle.

Huh? Tang Yue looked outside. She was curious to see just what sort of a beast the dwarf had.

Soon, the entrance of the smithy blurred and wind whipped about. 

A couple of seconds later, a massive gale picked up and a big creature landed in the front.

Tang Yue stared at the beast in surprise. The massive creature had the body of a bird and the head of an animal.

This was unmistakably a Griffin, a high-grade beast. It looked absolutely terrifying.

Tang Yue didn’t even think that a high-grade beast like this could be tamed. She gaped in awe.

“Ha Ha Ha. Doesn’t he look strong?” The dwarf chuckled lightly and tried to get up from the cot.

Tang Yue quickly supported him and helped him up. The two then walked over to the massive griffin.

The bird had shining silver feathers which protruded like spikes but when it saw Tang Yue and Miller approaching it, it casually retracted the spikes, leaving behind only a smooth and shiny luster on its body.

It shook its head and roared and then bowed down meekly, allowing Tang Yue and Miller to easily mount the beast.

After helping the dwarf sit upon the Griffin comfortably, Tang Yue then leaped back onto the ground.

She quickly whistled as well calling back the two contracted beasts. 

They did not make Tang Yue wait long.

In just a few minutes, one panther and one wolf rushed towards the smithy.

Tang Yue patted the two beasts and looked concernedly at the black panther. “Where did your master go?”

The panther shook its head, unable to provide any explanation.

“Hmmm…” Tang Yue sighed. “It’s fine. We will find her.” She scooped up both the beasts and got onto the Griffin as well.

The bird was big enough so it easily supported all of them.
