Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 338: Responsibilities Part2

Later that night, Tang Yue finished her meditation and stood up from her seated pose.

She was done thinking things over and she made a decision.

"Old man, where are these training grounds?" Tang Yue asked.

"In the middle of the Ocean." The nasal voice chimed in.

"How do we get there? Do we need anything in particular?" Tang Yue wanted to gather all the required information and prepare adequately before heading out.

She would be a fool to underestimate the danger in this endeavor.

"Ha Ha ha, little snake. You don't know right? This place Others will never reach it even if they dry out the entire ocean."

"But you You don't have to do anything. The ocean will take you there all by itself."

"It's your birthright and it's your legacy."

Tang Yue calmly listened, though there was an unfathomable spark in her eyes. 

Her legacy? Her birthright? She couldn't help but feel a strange power pulsing through her body.

Perhaps it was her own excitement and pride from the words that she had heard.

Either way, this would be her stepping stone. She silently resolved to never again feel weak and helpless.

Tang Yue clenched her fists. She was ready to leave, but not before she had taken care of some things.

She walked over to one of the chambers adjacent to hers and hurriedly threw out all the things from within inside, making a huge messy heap outside the chamber.

She then quickly took out several things one by one, setting up a small smithing workspace within the luxurious ornate chamber.

An anvil was placed in the middle of the chamber, along with several heaps of thoroughly refined Kirrion ore chunks.

Before the human being wrecked everything, Tang Yue had been merely a step away from smithing a spirit weapon set of her own.

Of course, this would have definitely gone easier with Miller by her side but now she had to somehow manage on her own.

After arranging everything carefully, Tang Yue finally summoned out Little Plum.

She neither had a furnace nor a strong concentrated fire elemental source, so she planned to use this little glutton for both.

"Masta Greetings. Masta I feel very happy that you summoned me again."

"I am so sorry. I won't eat anything carelessly ever again."

"Masta. Thank you for trusting Little Plum."

The elemental instantly started rambling on in excitement and nervousness.

Tang Yue chuckled. This guy really liked being outside and was doing this little skit just for that!

She patted the wolf and rubbed his head helplessly. "Little Plum, do you want to help me out a bit?"

"Yes, Mastaa." The wolf's ears instantly perked up. 

He didn't see Little Blue anywhere in the vicinity and this was his time to shine and steal the spotlight.

"Shift into your elemental form and melt all these ores thoroughly."

Little Plum obediently nodded and quickly busied itself with work.

Since the little fellow was slowly absorbing the small tongue of heavenly flame, his strength had vastly upgraded.

His flames were now more than powerful enough to melt the superior grade ore chunks.

Tang Yue observed the elemental for a while and seeing that everything was working perfectly just as she had expected, she moved onto her next task.

She took out one of her spatial rings and poured out a heap of materials onto the chamber floor, each more precious than the other.

These were the things which she had looted from the labyrinth guardian, the giant glow worm, more specifically from the beast's hemorrhoids.

Tang Yue licked her lips at the juicy sight of so many precious materials lying in front of her.

She had never realized this before but it looked like she loved collecting treasures quite a bit.

And just as she was admiring her haul, three figures instantly materialized next to her.

Huh? Tang Yue turned around, a slight frown on her face.

Xander, Xavier, and her Master, the dwarf Miller.

With Xander and Miller residing in adjacent chambers and Xavier loitering around Xander's section of the palace, all three of them were in close proximity to Tang Yue and flew over as soon as they sensed the presence of supremely high quality materials.

"Child, where did you get all of these?" Miller gasped, completely and utterly shocked.

The dwarf was limping and wincing in pain, but his eyes were fixated on the pile of treasures.

Supreme metal ores, some more precious than the Kirrion ore itself, very high quality gems and herbs, and other materials perfect as additives.

Miller's throat was dry and he was panting. The materials in front of him were the dream of every Grandmaster blacksmith.

Tang Yue smiled at him and pointed to a chair nearby. "Please rest, Master."

Though the dwarf looked like he was about to hug everything in front of him and gobble them up even though they were metals, Tang Yue didn't really care about him.

She knew the man enough by now and she also knew that he would never covet what is hers.

She then shifted her gaze to the two other hooligans in the room. 

Both the brothers were extremely unscrupulous from top to bottom and one had even swindled her out of several million gems once before.

Tang Yue crossed her arms and sternly gazed at the unwelcome guests.

Xander gazed at her back with amusement, but Xavier opened his mouth, drool visibly leaking out of it.

"This Sister-in-law Where did you get all of these?" He asked the same question as Miller and swallowed the saliva in his mouth.

As a Rune Grandmaster, he as well lusted over the precious gems in front of him.

"Huh? Sister-in-law?" Tang Yue covered her mouth and chuckled. "Since when were we that close? Scram."

Xavier's face instantly sank and he made an adorable puppy dog expression.

Xander was already used to his brother's antics and quickly stepped in. "Do not fall for his tricks."
