Chapter 49: Level 3
Chapter 49: Level 3
Tang Yue grinned at the sight of the fleeing princess and continued sleeping all the way until the sun hung high above on the clouds.
She only snapped out of her daze at the sound of the notifications chiming in.
Ding. 10% Fire twin-tailed bird bloodline absorbed
Ding. 3% Nefarious porcupine bloodline absorbed
Ding. 100% Fire twin-tailed bird bloodline absorbed
Ding. Bloodline Evolution has been initiated
The familiar sensation assaulted her without any warning, as her fattened body started to twist and turn.
This time as well the evolution process was incredibly painful.
A bright beam of light enveloped her body, as her mind and body convulsed with gut-wrenching pain.
Wave after wave of mystical energy enriched her body and finally, after a few minutes, the pain ceased and the next series of notifications started ringing.
Ding. Bloodline Evolution has been completed.
Ding. 500 Experience points have been rewarded.
Ding. Quest <Gain an affinity to the fire element> has been completed.
Ding. 50 Experience points have been rewarded.
Ding. Congratulations. You have leveled up.
Ding. Congratulations. Shop features have been unlocked.
Tang Yue blinked and gazed at each and every notification with keen interest.
“Waaah! So many new items!” She grinned.
But more importantly, there was something else she was really looking forward to!!
Tang Yue shifted into her human figure as she jumped up from the bed and landed on the marble floor.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before gazing at her pitiful body.
And…
And…
And finally!!!!
She was back to her former slender, sexy self again!
And there were no weird feathers sticking out of her body!!!
Fu… Fu… Fu… Tang Yue sighed in relief.
She was half-expecting something weird to pop out of this evolution as well. Not that she cared about these superficial things, but she simply wanted a break.
All her life she had been ridiculed for being a cripple. Now that she had somehow managed to cure her damaged meridians, she didn’t want to be ridiculed again for being fat.
It was a sign of weakness to let these petty little things get to her, but Tang Yue was simply tired. She was tired of defending herself from the constant insults and mockery.
For once, she just wanted the easy way out. She wanted to blend into the background without sticking out like a sore thumb… at least until she was strong enough…
Now that this matter was settled, Tang Yue quickly summoned her status screen to peek at her improved stats and this new thing called the shop.

______________
The upgraded numbers did not disappoint Tang Yue, as she gleefully glanced at the new terms that had popped up.
Her current agility was at Level 10 and strength was at Level 5. It looked like the birds helped improve much more than just her affinity to the fire element.
This was also probably why she regained her figure again.
Her improved power because of her agility boost now far outweighed the good for nothing salamander fat armor, which had completely disappeared now.
Tang Yue then skimmed through the rest of the details.
Unfortunately, this batch of bird meat did not give her any high-grade or epic-grade bloodlines.
She clicked her tongue in disappointment. Of course, this was to be expected.
High-grade and epic-grade bloodlines belonged to rare primordial beasts.
There was no way, they could be so easily hidden in low grade and common grade beasts.
Her eyes then trailed to the bottom of the list as she gazed at the Lesser Fire affinity passive skill, right next to the Lesser regeneration passive skill.
Tang Yue’s eyes gleamed in excitement.
If what she read was correct, then just like the elves or other beings who had an affinity to the fire element, she would also be able to manipulate and materialize her mana as fire, albeit low-grade flames.
And more importantly, it looked like she had finally met the prerequisite for forming the Archaic Elemental contract!
