Chapter 21: Master Dranuk, the saviour! Part2
Tang Yue was not a fool. She was very aware as to why these sudden changes are occurring around her.
The old vicious elf had apparently decided to latch onto her and make her life miserable. But the joke was on him.
Venturing out into the forests might be troublesome for others who lacked any cultivation, but her case was different.
The old elf had carelessly forgotten all about her shape-shifting ability, or maybe he looked down on the beast clans and didn’t think much of their potential.
No matter what the reason might be, this was still a major blunder on his part.
The serpentine clan members had the innate ability to turn into snakes instantaneously.
Though higher realm cultivators could sense their presence, lower realm cultivators and beasts would only be able to sense a common grade snake beast, which was absolutely useless and not worth their time or attention.
Also, her speed and agility were vastly improved in her snake form, giving her the confidence and means to quickly navigate sticky situations.
Tang Yue did not hesitate any longer and willingly accepted the assigned disciple duty.
The elf managing the missions assignment handed her a bunch of parchments to select a mission from.
As she was perusing the various parchments, Tang Yue couldn’t help but think of the obvious cheat method staring at her face.
Each disciple had an allotted time of two to three weeks for finishing a mission, and some of these missions were located in the snake clan territories.
So it would be a piece of cake for her to memorize the locations, and raid those locations before the elves get to them.
This way she might be able to snack on some herbs without actually paying for them.
Tang Yue’s eyes glistened with greed, as she quickly scanned through the various missions and their locations.
She specifically paid attention to the herb type, its appearance, and the potential dangers listed in the description.
Once she was done, she just picked a random one from the selected parchments and swiftly left the association branch.
“Bring me some dried food, enough to last for three weeks.” Tang Yue instructed Lotte.
Staring at the nimble elf hurry away, Tang Yue reluctantly called out for him again, “Lotte, are there any spare weapons that I can use? Bring them to me as well.”
Lotte nodded obediently. The dangerous missions of the alchemy association were not exactly a secret.
Since Tang Yue was now an alchemy disciple, it was only normal for her to go on these missions and need better weapons to deal with the associated dangers.
Luckily for her, borrowing weapons were much easier than borrowing gold.
Lotte quickly returned with some food and a bunch of mid-grade weapons including a variety of swords and staff.
These were the most commonly used type of weapons, and Lotte was unsure about the princess’s preference. So he just grabbed a few.
While he was nervously wondering if the princess would be satisfied with just mid-grade weapons, Tang Yue’s eyes flew wide open at the sight of them.
So many mid-grade weapons!
At least there was one perk for this useless consort position!!
Tang Yue excitedly picked a lightweight long sword since basic sword art was the only combat she was familiar with.
After dismissing the elf, Tang Yue packed all the essentials into her space pouch and left the palace in high spirits.
Coincidently, Queen consort Charlotte and her two palace aides caught the sight of the scurrying snake princess.
“Where is this woman rushing to every day so religiously?” Charlotte angrily scoffed.
“Princess, the new consort has joined the alchemy association.” The palace aide, with a huge mole on her cheek, briefed Charlotte with the details.
“Tch. Tch. Another one trying the alchemy route. Why won’t these sluts leave my prince alone?” Charlotte could vaguely feel another headache coming.
She already had her hands full with the self-proclaimed alchemy genius, Adrianna.
Just how many more were planning to pop up and vie for the crown prince’s heart by honing their alchemy talent? What a pain!
After packing all her belongings, Tang Yue bid farewell to Lotte and headed straight for the carriage stand.
She hired a bristle wolf carriage to help her navigate out of the palace and the main settlement.
Some carriages even dared to venture into the forests, but Tang Yue decided against it. The risk to reward ratio was just not worth it.
Her odds were much better if she explored the forests in her beast form.
The rows of buildings and houses soon disappeared from her vision and tall lush trees surrounded her.
“We are here your highness.”
The elf guiding the bristle wolves stopped the carriage and dropped Tang Yue off at the outskirts of the Edorian elven establishment.
Tang Yue waited a moment for the elf to turn back and start the return journey, before shapeshifting into her serpentine form.
