Chapter 331: Fool me once Part1

After Xander left the chamber, Tang Yue stood up silently and walked out of the royal palace as well.

However, before she headed out she cast an invisibility spell on herself.

Since Tang Yue was currently in the Saint realm, her illusion magic was powerful enough to be used freely.

Unless one was in the Demi-God realm or used certain special soul techniques, they wouldn’t be able to see through her cloak of invisibility that easily.

So in order to prevent certain pests from disturbing her, Tang Yue only moved about in the city after casting the invisibility spell.

She also didn’t hesitate to use the full extent of her cultivation base and arrived at the storefront within seconds.

She canceled her invisibility spell afterward, almost shocking the shopkeeper.

The elf immediately knew that this was a high-profile customer so he treated Tang Yue very respectfully and attended to her needs almost immediately.

Tang Yue didn’t care about these formalities because she only came here to do some basic purchases.

“Give me some flying artifacts.” She casually ordered.

Though she was wearing only a simple silver robe, it clung to her body snugly and accentuated her seductive curves.

This coupled with her beautiful features and her unfathomable aloof eyes caught the poor shopkeeper elf off-guard and the man almost drooled staring at her unblinkingly.

Tang Yue had to raise her hand and snap at the elf, bringing him back to reality.

“Do you have or not?”

“Yes, your highness. Yes. Yes. Please forgive my behavior.” 

The elf scurried about and quickly brought her a couple of swords, some discs, and even a few small carpets or mats.

Tang Yue looked at the bunch and clicked her tongue. 

If she had more time, perhaps she would have preferred the disc or a mat, as these are more convenient.

But since the sword had the fastest speed among the three, she selected a few of the flying sword artifacts and placed everything in her spatial ring except for one.

Tang Yue then tossed a few gold coins to the elf and hurried out of the shop.

She immediately morphed into her serpentine form, and cast her invisibility spell again, after coiling herself on the flying sword.

The sword with the snake around it, then magically rose up into the air and flew straight towards the Dwarven royal city.

While previously it had taken her several days to travel by a carriage from Eldoria to the Dwarven Empire, Tang Yue this time reached the city in a matter of few hours.

She landed the flying sword near the old smithy and directly headed inside.

Miller saw her walking in and smiled at her with his eyes closed. “Yue, you are here.”

“I am glad that you are doing fine child.” The dwarf groaned and continued to rest on his cot.

Tang Yue’s eyes glistened lightly on seeing the man’s rugged muscular body which was usually full of vigor, now resting tiredly on the cot.

There were also numerous cuts and injuries left carelessly untreated.

“Master…” Tang Yue gently greeted him, her voice full of guilt. 

Because of her, this man had been unnecessarily dragged into a fight that was entirely unrelated to him.

Tang Yue walked towards the dwarf resting on the cot and kneeled and kowtowed in front of him.

“Master, I am sorry. This is all my fault. I should have never come here.” 

“Aha Ha Ha. Silly girl. I am alright, aren’t I?” The dwarf chuckled, brushing off her apology lightly.

“Even if you were not there, I would have probably gotten involved in the fight.”

“Apparently, that human was for some reason masquerading as Prince Jorden, one of the dwarven royal princes.”

“So this thing has really nothing to do with you.”

“And oh, by the way, I blamed the human being for stealing the heavenly flame.” “So you and your little elemental should be safe. Bwa Ha Ha Ha.” 

“I can’t believe those idiots fell for it. Bwa Ha Ha Ha. Argh. Hack.” Miller coughed loudly, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Master! Your injuries…” Tang Yue immediately tensed up. Was this really the state of a man who was healing and resting?

“Hai. Hai. I will be fine. All I need is just a few days of rest.” The dwarf tiredly sighed.

Tang Yue, however, was reluctant to believe his casual words. 

After all, he had taken the full brunt of the attack in the fight against that human being.

“By the way, where is the other one? Is the elf alright?” Miller opened one of his eyes and gazed at her, asking the question.

Tang Yue could see that the dwarf was trying to change the subject but she also couldn’t help but feel worried about Charlotte.

She had not seen that woman these past couple of days.

“Alright. Don’t worry. Give me one day and then I can help you look for her.” Miller barely even finished the sentence when the smithy door opened and another dwarf walked in.

“Heh. Why are you making promises that you can’t keep, senior brother?” Grandmaster Hiru walked in, immediately reprimanding Miller as soon as he entered.

Tang Yue stood up and bowed to the dwarf, greeting him respectfully. 

She knew that even if the dwarf was a bit gruff and disrespectful to her Master, he still meant well, so she didn’t feel any animosity towards him.

Hiru sternly looked at Tang Yue, and his eyes narrowed on seeing that she was in her original serpentine human form, but he still nodded, returning her greeting.

“This old fart is lying to you. He burnt through his vitality while trying to protect you.”

“He only has a few more months to live at best.”

Tang Yue’s face fell, the dwarf’s every word weighing like a mountain on her heart.

She looked at Miller in complete and utter disbelief.

This man had only a few more months to live? No! Under no circumstance can that be allowed to happen!
