Novel Bin Chapter 236: She is the worst Part6
Chapter 236: She is the worst Part6
Tang Yue shoved some of her long unruly locks of hair behind her ears and looked around. Neither Charlotte nor the little kid was anywhere to be found in her vicinity.
In fact, she hadn’t seen either of them since yesterday night, when certain unexpected things had happened and a certain someone had inadvertently witnessed it.
Only Little Blue licked his mouth and rubbed his head against her feet, as usual following her around without any care in the world.
Tang Yue took another look towards her left and then her right and awkwardly clicked her mouth, before bolting in the direction of the mine.
She didn’t know where the kid had run off to but she didn’t want to linger around and run into Charlotte.
In all honesty, she dreaded facing Charlotte again.
The things that had happened yesterday were too much for her to process right now. She still had a lot of things to do and very little time.
Tang Yue knew only too well that she couldn’t afford to let her guard down and relax even for a little bit, at least until she reached the Demi-God realm.
In the beginning, this was merely a distant dream.
But now that her soul strength was already in the Demi-God realm… it suddenly no longer felt unrealistic.
There was a burning hunger within her to fully step into the Demi-God realm.
She didn’t want to be pushed around anymore and more than anything, she wanted the power to keep her loved ones safe and sound… no matter who they were…
Tang Yue’s mind flitted for a second to the moments she had shared with the elf yesterday and her heart rate quickened.
She shook her head and forcefully restrained her mind to only think about cultivation and improving her strength.
And so, that day morning, several villagers saw the chieftain’s daughter behave a bit weirdly as they crossed her.
The poor girl seemed very frustrated with something and continuously slapped her cheeks with her hands and kept mumbling something to herself.
Tang Yue ignored the weird looks on the passersby and ran quickly to the hills.
The earthen essence was more concentrated in the quarry, so it was beneficial for her to practice cultivation there.
Besides, it also gave her the privacy to devour and consume the second high-grade quagmire centipede in her possession.
And as soon as she had left the house, Charlotte peeked out and guiltily looked in the direction that Tang Yue had disappeared into.
Her face looked flushed and her heart was ramming against her chest.
She had never felt this way in her entire life, not even when she was infatuated with Xander, which was for most of her life.
Charlotte gazed at the now unoccupied road for a few more minutes before running into the house and closing the door behind like a shy lovestruck teenager.
And of course, after these two left, a small kid turned his back towards the house and punched the tree in front of him with the full force that he could muster.
The tree blasted into smithereens, even its dust disappearing in the wind.
It took every ounce of self-control Xander had, to not go into that house right now and rip apart that elf from limb to limb.
That bitch had stolen his snake and that too right under his nose!!!
The shy and bashful look on her face only made his condition worse. He wanted to burn and destroy everything in his sight.
To a man being cuckolded was one of the worst things that could happen, but his situation was a bit different.
What was he supposed to do when two of his supposed ‘wives’ start fondling each other?
When he had opened the door yesterday and saw what he saw, his brain just froze.
Xander didn’t even know how to react and had simply walked out of the house.
The weird thing was, when his mind froze in that instant, a couple of random thoughts clicked and a frightening possibility arose in his thoughts.
He could immediately see a connection between everything that had been confusing him for the past couple of days.
Devil Boar. Quagmire Centipede.
What did the two beasts have in common?
An affinity to the earth elemental!
Tang Yue who hadn’t exhibited any affinity to the earth elemental suddenly started cultivating an earthen mana core.
Even a fool could connect all these dots and Xander was no fool.
He shuddered as he linked everything and thought about the frightening possibility.
As if his current problems were not enough, he had to think about and consider this insane possibility as well!!!
Xander clutched his head with his hands and sat on the ground, rocking back and forth like a lunatic.
He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He had never lost control of his emotions like this before.
He had always been a calm, composed, and pragmatic man.
But now… Everything felt chaotic. He wanted to see some bloodshed and before that, he needed some answers.
Xander took the rest of the day and spent his entire time cultivating and meditating.
He was completely muddle-headed and definitely unfit to face his traitorous snake in his current mental state.
He only ended up somewhat calming down later in the day and walked back to the house, with his face cold and frigid.
Tang Yue as well returned soon after.
She immediately noticed the kid and ran towards the boy and scooped him up in her arms.
“Where have you been all day?” She asked, pinching his cheeks playfully.
But what she really wanted to know was just much the kid had seen the previous day and if it had scarred him for life.
The little kid didn’t reply cheerfully like he usually did and only managed to nod slightly, with a weak smile.
Tang Yue felt slightly guilty and she was too mortified to bring up that topic, so she decided to act as if it had never happened.
She hugged the boy tightly and planted a small kiss on his cheeks and put him back down.
And just like that, Xander who had been furious for the entire day and the previous night, melted into a gooey liquid puddle… even though it was just a small peck on the cheek.
“There is a market coming to the village. Big sis will buy you lots of nice things.” Oblivious to his feelings, Tang Yue patted his head and went inside.
Xander’s eyes trailed her figure and he opened and closed his mouth wordlessly. “Damn it.” He cursed inwardly and looked away.
Kosa had been busy all day and didn’t even come to the mines. So Tang Yue was worried and wanted to find out what the old man had been up to.
She searched for him in and around the house, but it looked like he hadn’t returned yet. Tang Yue sighed and went back to her room.
She changed into a different set of robes and was about to access her rewards for yesterday’s bastardly deed when a ring fell out of her robe.
It was the same simple silver ring with a blue opal stone in the center. She picked it up and stared at it absentmindedly.
The image of an arrogant flawless face crossed her mind and her heart began to palpitate.
Tang Yue couldn’t help but remember the things she had done yesterday and felt extremely guilty.
Coincidentally, the little kid who had wandered back into the room, along with Little Blue, once again stood at the door flabbergasted.
Xander had just made up his mind to hate this slutty snake, but here she was gazing intently at the ring he had given her.
Her thoughts were clearly written on her face and he could see through her in an instant.
Damn it. Xander clenched his fist. Woman, why the hell are you torturing me like this?!!
He could see that she was conflicted.
As he stood there at the doorway, unsure of what to do, he felt another figure standing next to him, with a similar expression on her face.
Why is she staring at the ring like that? Isn’t that the one Xander gave her? Charlotte’s heart sank.
She didn’t know what she expected from their relationship yet, but she knew that she didn’t like the look on Tang Yue’s face at the moment.
Charlotte wondered if Tang Yue regretted the things that they had done the previous day.
She then coincidentally turned towards the little kid and caught him looking at her as well, but with a visible undisguised hatred on his face, a pure vicious animosity.
Charlotte took a step back. She looked at Tang Yue again, who was still fidgeting with the ring, and ran out of the room the next instant.
Watching her run away slightly improved Xander’s mood.
“That’s right. Nothing has changed. So what if her heart is conflicted?”
“I refuse to give up so easily.”
He clenched his fist and walked out of the room as well.
But before leaving, he flickered his finger inconspicuously and an invisible light shone on the ring that Tang Yue was looking at.
