Chapter 278: A kiss for the golden hands Part2

Tang Yue assumed that one of the Master Blacksmith inspectors was passing her by and didn’t look up to see who it was.

She was very focused on achieving the perfect elemental essence attunement so that the low-grade weapon on her anvil could upgrade and become akin to a mid-grade weapon.

But once again, her movements trembled and a familiar chill invaded her conscience.

Huh? Tang Yue looked up in alarm.

Weirdly, there was no one in front of her.

Hmmm… Tang Yue ignored the feeling and took a few breaths to calm herself down. 

She then again focused on her forging and worked on the long sword in front of her.

Having been constantly training in forging these past few weeks, Tang Yue’s concentration was extremely sharp.

But still, she had a weird knot in the back of her throat as if someone was watching her.

Unable to give her full attention despite her best efforts, Tang Yue sighed and stopped working for a while.

She put the hammer in her hand down and pensively looked around her.

This was an open contest after all and there were people everywhere. So any number of dwarves might be eying her. 

Besides, this didn’t affect her too much the previous day. So Tang Yue was confused.

“Why am I feeling so restless?” She looked around and absentmindedly pondered.

She was then about to get back to her forging when suddenly Tang Yue’s gaze drifted past the Dwarven royal palace courtyard facing the Central Square.

Gudang.

Her heart instantly sank.

She was in the Emperor realm at the moment and that too she was a spirit beast, so her eyesight was quite good.

And sitting in the midst of a bunch of old-looking dwarves were two tall and eye-catching elven princes.

The one on the right had a bright and silly smile on his face, while the one on the left directly looked at her, the pair of stern frosty crimson eyes meeting her gaze.

Tang Yue subconsciously trembled. 

The devil was here! And he was directly looking at her!

Her brain instantly blanked out and a fragment of a dirty dream she once had, floated across her mind.

Tang Yue’s entire face heated up and she looked down hurriedly.

Xander, satisfied with whatever he saw, curled his lips upwards and nodded contently.

He then stopped putting pressure on her and averted his gaze from her.

Only then Tang Yue was finally able to breathe freely and concentrate.

She sneakily looked at the pavilion again, but Xander was nowhere to be found.

Only Xavier was sitting there now, supporting his face with his palm and very clearly bored.

Tang Yue anxiously looked around here and there but the devil had really disappeared.

“Damn it. Was it just my imagination or is he really here? Why the hell is he even here?” She bit her lips in frustration.

But soon afterward, she quickly went back to the task at hand and focused on the forging again.

Now that the madman’s pressure was no longer there, Tang Yue could easily concentrate and she quickly finished the weapon.

A brilliantly shimmering long-sword laid in front of her, exuding a powerful aura.

This sword made of heavy silver should have originally only been a low-grade sword.

But Tang Yue used the technique she had recently studied and mixed in her own poison with the molten metal.

This immediately bumped up the grade of the sword and its attack potential, making it a mid-grade weapon.

Since Tang Yue’s current venom was extremely lethal, a single small scratch from this weapon on an Emperor or lower realm expert would instantly paralyze and poison them.

A while after Tang Yue finished her weapon, the same Master Blacksmith from the previous day inspected her weapon again.

This time the woman stopped by her and picked up her sword, carefully inspecting it with her full attention.

Unexpectedly, she also gave Tang Yue a few dirty looks as she did that.

“Approved.” The woman then rudely dropped the sword on the anvil, making a loud clattering noise.

Hmmm… Tang Yue didn’t say anything and silently nodded. 

She didn’t understand why the person in front of her was acting so hostile.

The woman read her mind and mockingly answered the unasked question.

“You must have spent a lot of gold to obtain this high-grade toxin. Am I correct?”

“You cannot buy talent with money. There is no point in trying to cheat here.”

The woman scoffed and walked away, not bothering to hear any explanation from Tang Yue.

Tang Yue chuckled and didn’t retort back. Funnily enough, what the woman said was true.

In reality, Tang Yue should have been eliminated in this round, but she still held on by using a small cheat method.

So the woman’s contempt was very justified.

After that Master Blacksmith left their section, the dwarf next to her station quickly hurried over and chatted with Tang Yue.

It was a young skinny looking dwarf.

“Hey, girl. You shouldn’t have offended Master Xyla. She is the direct disciple of Grandmaster Hiru!”

“You should apologize to her later or something.” The boy kind-heartedly warned Tang Yue.

“You can always participate in the next contest. So it is definitely not worth offending her.”

Tang Yue nodded and smiled in response. “Thank you for the kind words.”

It looked like the boy had failed, so he packed up his things and left the area soon.

Tang Yue gazed at the stern-looking woman again and packed up her things as well.

“Tch. Tch. Tomorrow might be troublesome.”

She was one of the last few dwarves hanging around. 

So she hurriedly cleaned the station and started to leave, when suddenly, a hand shot forward and grabbed her waist without any warning.

Tang Yue was completely caught off guard.

Before she could even react, she was abruptly pulled into the blast furnace set up at lightning-fast speed.

She immediately had a bad feeling about this because only a handful of individuals can accomplish such a feat and she had no doubt as to who this was…

And just as she feared, a familiar voice brushed her ears…

“Did you miss me?”
