Chapter 342: Responsibilities Part6

Chapter 342: Responsibilities Part6

After Tang Yue was well outside the main elven territory, she put the young dwarven girl down and gazed at her warmly.

“If you walk towards that direction, you will reach a small village in 5 minutes.”

“You can then hire a carriage and get back to your father.”

Yana stared at Tang Yue fearfully. 

She had no idea who this was and why she was doing so much for her.

But she was too tired to think about anything. The simple girl broke into tears and started sobbing.

Tang Yue sighed and hugged the girl to comfort her. “It’s fine. It’s alright now. No one will chase after you.”

“Just go and be with your father. Be sure to tell him everything that happened.”

Tang Yue paused and then added. “Also tell him that I am very grateful to him.”

She handed Yana a spatial pouch filled with gold coins and elixirs and quickly sent the girl on her way.

“With this, you should at least be able to live a comfortable life…” Tang Yue hissed and watched the young girl leave.

She then did not dawdle around and quickly turned on her heels and once again started running.

A while later she came across Little Plum and Little Blue who were readily waiting for her and taking the two wolves with her, she stepped out of the Elven territory altogether and into her own Kingdom, the land of snakes.

The serpentine kingdom was located between the elves and the ocean, so she had no choice but to cross through here.

Otherwise, the terrain would be too hilly and uncomfortable to cover, especially with the dead-weight harpy still on her shoulders.

Also, even if the devil was tailing her in some way or the other, this might make it look like she was just visiting the Serpentine Kingdom, thereby adding a bit of protection to her escape plan.

Tang Yue did not lose speed and continued running through the murky swamps and marshes that littered the serpentine territories.

Little Plum had long since switched to its elemental state and flew right next to Tang Yue, but Little Blue was finding it slightly difficult to keep up.

“We are almost there.” Tang Yue assured the little wolf and continued running.

The cute wolf howled energetically as if it was saying that this was nothing to him.

Tang Yue chuckled and continued running. 

She had actually explained to both of them that where they were heading to was a place filled with danger and that they might not make it back alive.

But both Little Blue and Little Plum had adamantly clung to her, insisting that they as well leave with her.

Tang Yue smiled at the two idiots for being stupidly loyal to her. Then again, she loved them for both for exactly being so.

The group quickly moved through the night, covering a lot of distance with comfortable ease.

Tang Yue also felt relieved that Xander hadn’t shown up until now.

She didn’t think that the man would let the harpy go so easily, but maybe he trusted her that much?

She gulped the guilty knot forming in her throat but kept running without stopping.

She knew that she couldn’t relax until she reached the ocean and actually stepped into the training grounds.

She had a feeling that he might pop up suddenly in front of her out of nowhere.

And she was not wrong…

The shadowy figure behind her was still diligently following her. 

He, however, had no intention of showing up in front of Tang Yue just yet.

But certain others did and Tang Yue stopped when she saw a group of familiar faces standing in front of her.

“Greetings father.” Tang Yue hissed, a visible sneer on her face.

She had expected a run-in with her family sooner or later considering that not many high-level experts, Saint realm, and higher cross through the serpentine lands.

So she knew that these old bags would come and visit her sooner or later.

Along with Tang Yue’s father, Tang Shen, the Serpentine Emperor, Tang Zen, and a group of high-ranking Generals also stood in front of her, blocking her way.

“What are you doing out of bed? Shouldn’t you be sleeping with your mistresses at this time?”

Hearing Tang Yue’s mocking words, Tang Shen immediately flew into a rage. “Arrogant brat! You better watch your words. Greet your Emperor first.”

“Or else?” Tang Yue’s sneer widened. It looked as if she was determined to insult them.

“You are forcing my hand here. Don’t make me break your legs and make you a cripple again.”

Tang Yue giggled at the man’s stern and hateful words.

“How pitiful! Are you already tired of sending your filthy wife and your stupid daughters to fight with me?”

Tang Shen instantly shuddered in rage and anger. 

He had come to know recently what happened to Tang Xi and he was filled with shame from that incident, so much so that he had already disowned Tang Xi as his daughter formally.

“Oh by the way, I just killed her a while ago.” 

Tang Yue’s long forked tongue flickered in and out as she casually licked her fangs.

“YOU! What did you say? What the hell did you say?” Tang Shen drew out his sword in a fit of anger.

“You killed her? How dare you behave like this? See what I am going to do to you.”

“I am ready whenever you are… my dearest father.” Tang Yue chuckled lightly. 

She raised her right hand, instantly materializing several tongues of flame.

She then flicked her hand lightly, a huge flame serpent roaring from within it, and headed directly for the man.

Tang Shen’s eyes flew wide. He did not expect the useless cripple to have changed so much.

He had, of course, heard about the various things from his wife, but he had never fully accepted the reality.

But the truth was staring at his face right now and he had nowhere to run and hide.

The flame serpent roared as if it was about to devour him.

His own strength visibly paled in front of Tang Yue’s elemental prowess. 

In reality, his physical tempering was not even strong enough to withstand this attack and he could not bear this much heat, so he was forced to take a step back trembling lightly.

But Tang Shen cunningly sent a chilling freeze spell to attack Tang Yue’s heart, one of the weak points of her physical body.

This spell had a trick to it that made it circumvent the body’s external physical barriers and target the inner organs.

It was also a very difficult to detect spell, making it extremely hard to block.

Tang Yue, however, simply smirked. She had already caught his small sinister action but she did not make any move.

She stood still allowing the freeze to enter her body.

Tang Shen grinned wickedly seeing that his attack went through. 

It was inevitable that the woman’s actions would now be slow and sluggish giving him enough time to teach her a lesson.

But just as he approached her with ill intentions and slashed his sword at her, Tang Yue took out her own and blocked the attack, sending him flying back several feet.

“How vicious! You are attacking your own daughter now?” 

“Aha Ha Ha. And thanks for the special treatment. I was indeed feeling a bit hot and stuffy.”

Tang Shen couldn’t believe his eyes. 

He was now not even able to touch the weak cripple who was once curled up in a corner of his palace like a disgusting fungal growth.

“If you want to come at me father… You need to work a lot harder.”

“Shut up. You are just a slut who seduced a powerful man. Don’t you have any shame? How dare you behave so brazenly?” Tang Shen roared. 

Tang Yue cocked her head to the side and hissed at the man unceremoniously fallen on the ground.

“You calling me a slut? I think your memory is failing you. That would be your second daughter, Tang Xi.”

“Oops, I meant late second daughter.”

“By the way, you seem to have a lot of guts to attack the future Empress of Eldoria?”

Tang Yue extended her right hand, showing off the ring on her finger.

Tang Shen gulped and stared at her with a dumbfounded expression. 

And the other Generals as well as Tang Zen himself, who were simply standing on the side and watching the show up until now, had very similar reactions.

They had heard several rumors these past few weeks and did not know what to make out of any of them, but now that Tang Yue herself was saying these things… they couldn’t help but think about this possibility.

That would also surely explain why she was so arrogantly displaying her strength in front of them right now.

Tang Zen saw the commotion and finally decided to step in. “ENOUGH.” The Emperor bellowed.

“Stop beating around the bush, Consort Yue. What are you doing here at this time of the night?”
