Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Tang Yue was huddled inside her private chambers for the next few days, working hard to digest the four fire twin-tailed birds she had in her possession.

And as the sun rose in the morning, her last notification after digesting the fourth bird crisply echoed in her brain.

Ding. 10% Fire twin-tailed bird bloodline absorbed

Ding. 1% Chicken bloodline absorbed

"Hmm... I still need about six birds to complete this bloodline." Tang Yue licked her lips and pondered how to get those six remaining birds for her ever-growing stomach.

She had gained a lot of high-grade bloodlines by binging on the feast food, but they were not very useful, considering it took a tremendous amount of meat to finish a bloodline.

Even the low-grade beast Fire twin-tailed bird required ten whole birds to completely absorb its bloodline.

Tang Yue shuddered to think about the mid-grade and high-grade beasts.

As she racked her brains, a thought crossed her mind and she couldn't help but snicker. She swiftly arranged her clothes and got up to confront her golden goose.

Tang Yue followed by Lotte, her personal aide, walked over to queen consort Charlotte's private chambers.

Just like her highness, Tang Yue as well barged in with a wide beaming smile.

Behind her, Lotte frowned at his master's odd behavior. He did not understand the reason behind this sudden change in hierarchy.

"How is my sister doing this fine morning?" Tang Yue chirpily enquired, sneering at the woman sitting near the dresser and adjusting her appearance.

Charlotte's face drained of all color as soon as she saw the cunning vicious snake. She hated the damned beast to the core.

Since it was still early in the morning, the queen consort barely had any clothes on and as their last interaction flitted across her mind, the consort's cheeks immediately turned into a beet red.

Tang Yue covered her mouth with her chubby hand and chuckled with her eyes twinkling. "Don't worry sister. I am not here to gobble you up. I am actually here to ask you for some trivial help."

Charlotte gritted her teeth, and mouthed the words with utmost control, as she kept her seething anger down. "What help sister?" She growled in a low voice.

"Nothing much your highness. You see, us, beasts are very poor. So I just need a couple thousand gold coins and then I will be on my way."

Tang Yue extended her hand and asked for help with a fake pitiful expression.

She knew that the elf standing in front of her was from one of the major families in the elven establishment and was definitely filthy rich.

So when she needed money, of course, she considered blackmailing this golden goose of hers as the first option.

"A th.. thousand gold?" Charlotte stammered.

She indeed had the amount, but... it just did not feel good getting threatened by a damned snake! How humiliating!

Even the aides standing next to her, as well as Lotte, looked at each other in confusion. Something fishy was going on here!

"You... You better talk to her highness with respect." One of Charlotte's aides raised her voice.

Unexpectedly, the aide didn't even finish her statement, when a loud slap landed on her face.

"How about you talk with respect? Or have you forgotten that I am a royal consort, while you are merely an aide? Hmph."

Tang Yue casually stepped forward and wasted no time in putting the elf in place.

She didn't mind all these small altercations, but she still took action, just to convey how serious she was.

After all, no matter how much she wanted, she couldn't just step forward and slap the queen consort herself.

For now, she could only toy around with her to this extent.

Charlotte was utterly shocked at this blatant disrespect, but what could she do.

She could only hold her anger down and comply with the threat. She reluctantly stood up and walked over to a black leather pouch and retrieved five sparkling gems.

"Each one of these is valued at a thousand gold coins. Take this and don't show me your ugly face again." Charlotte barked.

"Excuse me?" Tang Yue sneered and grabbed the gems from her hand.

Charlotte gritted her teeth and reluctantly corrected herself. "I mean I hope your problem gets solved, sister."

"Awww. Thank you so much, sister." Tang Yue flashed a wide smile in return and casually strolled out.

"Come follow me, Lotte. Thanks to my kind-hearted big sister, we will be heading to the market now."

Tang Yue poked Charlotte's wound a few more times and then strolled out of the angry queen consort's private chambers.

Since her evolution didn't require Tang Yue to personally hunt down the monsters herself, she decided to take the easy way out this time around.

Her plan was to explore the market for some fire twin-tailed bird meat.

It might not be a common grade beast, but it was still just a low-grade beast and she should be able to easily afford it with the amount of gold in her hands.
