Chapter 323: Little Plum is a glutton Part6

After he took care of the goblin, William dusted his hands by clapping them together and casually walked back to the Dwarven palace.

He had now acquired all the information that he needed and he no longer had to target others for memory extraction.

Rather it was time to pay the woman he was fated with a visit and find out if she was more useful to him alive or dead.

William knew that Tang Yue was within the heavenly flame cultivation chamber so he directly headed towards the royal quarry.

Unlike others, he was not worried about the Demi-God dwarf who always kept an eye on her, Tang Yue’s so-called Master.

William himself was a Demi-God and a much stronger one at that, so he was very confident about his chances and he didn’t think twice about confronting Tang Yue with or without Miller’s presence.

Meanwhile… 

Inside the stone chamber…

The person of his interest was going crazy at this exact same moment!

Oblivious to the things happening in the outside world, Tang Yue was in her own turmoil.

“Little Plum, No!!!! What did you just do?!!!!” She screamed in shock as she stared at the wolf, which was clearly bigger now and had a guilty look on its face.

“Sorry, Masta. I… I…” The wolf shook its head, unable to explain anything.

A few minutes earlier, Tang Yue had been busily refining the ores, while at the same time working on her dual elemental control.

She was absorbing the mana from the surroundings and cultivating her fire and earthen elemental cores simultaneously.

But suddenly, the fire essence swirling around her completely disappeared, leaving behind only the earthen essence.

“Huh? What happened?” Tang Yue looked up in alarm, only to find the small flickering tongue of heavenly flame missing.

It had completely disappeared as if it had never existed in the first place!

“Huh?” She dumbfoundedly stared at the empty spot and then at the wolf standing near her. 

“Little Plum?” She hesitantly questioned the only other party in the cultivation chamber apart from her.

“Masta Sorry.” Little Plum immediately started panicking. 

In all honesty, it was not really its fault since Tang Yue had asked the elemental to cultivate as much as it wanted.

But how could she have expected the little guy to gulp down the entire flame!!!

For the first evolution, it merely absorbed a fraction of the purple flame, but now the naughty thing had eaten the whole thing.

Tang Yue knew that the little guy wouldn’t have purposefully done it. 

Most probably, he ate the thing and only then realized what had happened, but still, what was done was done.

Could either of them bring back the heavenly flame now? How were they supposed to explain this to the dwarves?!

This was their treasured heavenly flame which they used for increasing their chances of spirit smithing!

And now it was missing…

Won’t the entire horde of dwarven blacksmiths eat them alive?

Tang Yue’s head was spinning just thinking about their future. The elves were already behind her and now the dwarves.

The entirety of the Nine countries was filled with these two races. They were at the top of the food chain.

How could she even possibly run and hide from them???

“God damn it.” Tang Yue paced back and forth, biting her fingernails, unsure of what to do now.

The minute she steps out of the stone chamber, the truth would be instantly discovered and they would start chasing her with pitchforks and swords.

Tang Yue hesitated for a while and then took out a jade slip, sending a message to Charlotte.

She waited for a while but didn’t hear anything back from her.

“Huh? Where the hell did this girl go to? Is she in the middle of a cultivation session again?”

Tang Yue then sighed and sent another message, this time to her Master.

That poor guy! She kept creating troublesome situations for him.

Or maybe she was underestimating him. He was a Grandmaster blacksmith after all. 

He could probably take care of this situation quite easily!

For all she knew, she could even be worrying over nothing!!!

Tang Yue took a few deep breaths and calmed herself down. 

However, little did she know that this was only the very beginning of her problems.

Tang Yue sent the message to Miller and barely, a couple of seconds had passed when her jade slip glowed in response.

She calmly took it and listened, only to break out into a cold sweat.

“Ahhhh! What did you do child??? Are you telling me the truth?? I will be right there!”

Tang Yue, for the first time, heard the dwarf panic. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

And before the message even finished sounding, the cultivation chamber stone door rumbled, it opened, and the dwarf Miller was standing in front of her.

“How is this even possible???” 

The man stared at the empty trigram formation, which previously housed the heavenly flame.

His eyes widened in shock and clearly, he was unable to believe what he was seeing.

“Yue, what happened?” Miller asked, sweating profusely. 

This was one of the top-grade treasures of the Dwarven Empire, almost as valuable as their spirit smithing technique. 

So even someone as indifferent as Miller couldn’t brush this off lightly.

Tang Yue bitterly smiled and then explained what had happened.

Miller looked at the elemental up and down in curiosity. “Demonstrate me your flames.”

Little Plum nodded obediently and morphed into its elemental form, turning into a blob of fire.

It was burning bright red except for its center core which was purple in color.

Miller gaped in awe as he could sense the presence of the heavenly flame within the elemental.

“What a powerful being?” He rubbed his chin. “And this guy is contracted to you?”

“Yes, Master.” Tang Yue nodded.

“Like a contracted beast?” he asked again.

“Yes, Master.”

“Hmmm…” Miller stood there perplexed. Even he was unsure of what to do now.

The heavenly flame was actually not yet fully absorbed so it might in fact be possible to use some techniques and extract it out, but doing so would surely affect the elemental being.
