Chapter 329: Payment for my services Part6
Tang Yue’s body flew back as if it was a spec of dust and crashed against something hard.
KUHAK
She coughed up blood.
What was going to happen now? She didn’t know and she no longer had any strength left to intervene.
A bitter smile surfaced on her lips as she coughed up another mouthful of blood.
“Easy there. Easy. Easy.”
A deep velvety voice suddenly sounded near her and Tang Yue felt her body being lifted up in the air.
Simultaneously, from the corner of her eyes, she could see several figures descending down from the sky.
“Don’t worry, my dear. Just relax. I am here now.”
This time Tang Yue knew exactly who was talking to her and a smile surfaced on her face.
A soft and wet sensation touched her lips and from that touch, a healing warmth spread to the rest of her body.
Tiredness overtook her as Tang Yue slowly closed her eyes and melted into the familiar embrace.
She knew that the man never did or said anything right, but he was always reliable and had never once betrayed her expectations.
So now that he was here, she felt assured and Tang Yue collapsed entirely without holding back.
Xander hugged her tightly, holding her frail injured body close to his chest.
“Idiot. I can’t leave you alone for even a few weeks, huh?”
“You fight with me and then you come running to me for help. Do you think you can just use me whenever you please?”
The man smiled gently as he planted a kiss on her forehead.
In front of him, a dozen Demi-Gods had rounded up William and were trying their best to capture him alive.
But Xander calmly sat within the several mana barriers he had erected, focusing only on Tang Yue.
As far as he was concerned, her well-being came first and this was far more important.
So he carefully observed her injuries and treated the more serious ones first.
And now that the others had arrived, the battle as well did not last too long.
William saw that he was outnumbered and he quickly activated a spell formation using a silver disk like an artifact.
Before another blow could land on him, the air twisted around and a void tear opened up, sucking William into it.
As his body completely disappeared within it, his eyes glanced at Tang Yue one last time, and an unfathomable glint crossed across them.
William didn’t know it for sure but something told him that he would be meeting this woman again.
He had failed this time around but the next time…
The void tear closed after him and right in front of the dozen Demi-Gods, he successfully managed to escape, completely unscathed.
Xander did not give much thought to it and he only glanced at the whole event fleetingly.
He already knew that they wouldn’t be able to capture the human being that easily.
He previously had some doubts and this encounter had confirmed everything.
As per his calculations, the human being was most probably proficient in one of the divine elements, the space element.
This was primarily why he had been able to come and go from their lands as he pleased, that too with exaggerated ease.
Xander gazed at the distance in deep thought as he carefully bundled up the woman in his arms.
He nodded at the other dwarven Demi-Gods and promptly returned back to Eldoria without wasting any time, of course, with Tang Yue still in his arms.
His eyes looked as cold and menacing as ever, but a warm smile hung on the man’s lips.
And for the next couple of days, the entire Eldorian Empire was in an uproar!
With several people having witnessed Xander personally bring Tang Yue over, news about her return spread far and wide, creating waves everywhere.
All the major noble families, the royal descendants, and the elven high counsel elders were completely stupefied.
In their eyes, Xander might as well have publicly declared war against them.
Their combined assassination attempts and death threats became a joke as the man boldly brought the spirit beast back to the capital city itself with pomp and flair.
Xander, however, did not stop with that. He commandeered several high-quality spirit herbs, nutritional and medicinal beast meat as well as other precious resources to the royal palace.
All of a sudden, the entire palace became festive as if they were celebrating the Emperor’s birthday.
Everyone who had celebrated the rumors about Tang Yue having been exiled or imprisoned, swallowed back their wishful thinking in shock.
The truth was right in front of their eyes and they could no longer deny it.
After Empress Freya, Tang Yue was undoubtedly going to be the next Empress and Xander’s royal consort.
No one questioned this any longer.
And Xavier, seeing his brother return back to normal, sighed in relief.
Things were finally back to normal and he can go back to his leisurely laid-back lifestyle.
But amidst these joyous celebrations, within the royal city, a certain someone was fuming, banging the doors of her chamber.
“Father. Let me out. Let me out.” Charlotte was absolutely furious.
She banged on the metallic door, each of her punches carrying the weight of her cultivation base.
The door was not strong enough to withstand her power, so there was definitely some sort of rune keeping her inside.
“Father. I need to go and help. Let me out.” Charlotte screamed at the top of her lungs.
General Salvatore, who was right outside, could only sigh helplessly.
“His highness has already taken care of everything, child. Don’t worry.”
He had no idea what had happened, but these were the direct orders from Xander and he had no intentions to question them.
Even if his daughter screamed and cursed his entire family, there really was no use.
In fact, this was not even the first time, Xander had punished her.
Ever since she became the queen consort, these sort of things… he was already used to it.
Nevertheless, this time he was a bit confused.
“Just what the hell happened between these three?” The old man shook his head helplessly.
