Hidden genius: Black belly snake

"Ah! I have been too naive!!" Tang Yue frowned massaging her temples.

Even though her path seemed to be clear for now, the snake woman stood frozen near the entrance.

She even had half a mind to completely ignore this godforsaken feast and get the hell out of here.

Because as opposed to what she had hoped for, there was no such thing as remaining inconspicuous in this milieu of who's who.

Tang Yue's eyes scanned the rows and rows of glimmering tables but unfortunately found no ignored corner.

Every single spot in the banquet chamber was occupied by some big shot. Actually only big shots were invited to these feasts.

So how could she disappear in this crowd of celebrities?

Also, her being a beast and donning the royal garb made it literally impossible for her to blend in.

Tang Yue sighed and took a deep breath. She then proceeded to walk into the gathering with her head held high but her gaze low.

She spotted an empty stretch of chairs, near the fairies and reluctantly sat there.

With all the glitter and sparkle surrounding the fairies, it was probably her best bet to blend into the background.

Not long after she sat down, another figure entered the banquet chamber and silently walked over to sit next to her.

It was a male fairy with very unusual patterned wings.

Rather than his wings, his mannerisms stood out more.

The person seemed to be just silently sitting next to her, without chit-chatting with the other fairies besides them.

After hesitating for a while, Tang Yue felt awkward and decided to greet the newcomer.

She put on a brave facade and turned around to smile but was instead shocked silly.

A pair of menacing crimson red eyes stared at her questioningly, driving a chill deep into her bones.

Tang Yue quickly turned away, not daring to look at that dangerous creature any longer.

"Bro. Chill with the attitude. I am minding my own business here." She cursed under her breath.

Fairies generally had a thin and slender body, adorned by two translucent magnificent wings.

And the wings were not there just for show. They actually allowed them to fly freely in the sky.

Just like the snakes, fairies were also powerful illusion magicians.

Their glitter and glimmer might be mesmerizing but if you look too long at them, your mind would waver and crumble.

However, unlike these typical fairies, the man next to her had a unique pair of wings and a dark and dangerous aura.

The usual glitter and sparkle were absent and his wings looked like they had a fiery glow around them.

The edges were even burnt to a crisp, making the wings almost broken.

Tang Yue wondered if this particular fairy was ever able to fly.

The man must be a cripple just like her! No wonder he was being ignored and neglected, and looked very angry!

Once she saw his weakness, she quickly got over the intimidating aura. The crimson eyed fairy did not look that scary anymore.

Propping her chubby head with her hand, the snake woman kept her gaze down and drew circles on the empty table, patiently waiting for it to be filled.

The man next to her obviously noticed the subtle changes in her expressions. He was slightly amused but the smile disappeared quickly.

His crimson eyes moved away from the bored-looking snake and shifted its focus back onto the table in the center, the main seating area for the elven royals.

A few more minutes eventlessly passed, and suddenly the celebratory music changed.

The entire chamber quieted down and the elven royal generals arrived one after the other, followed by the elven princes, Xavier, Luther, Luis, Oliver, and finally the Crown Prince Xander.

Though they had donned simple and elegant royal robes, all five princes exuded a frighteningly strong aura, with each of them already at the demi-god level in cultivation.

They perfectly showcased the strength and power of the Eldorian elven establishment.

The Emperor was rumored to be under secluded cultivation and he rarely attended these events.

So with the arrival of the elven princes, the feast was officially underway in full swing.

Tang Yue's eyes brightened as the moment she had long waited for was finally here.contemporary romance

"Time to unleash my inner gluttony monster. Mu ha ha ha ha." She grinned and started digging in.
