Hidden genius: Black belly snake

After explaining the various duties of a trainee alchemist, Master Marcel then brought Tang Yue and Marvin around to the mission board.contemporary romance

Senior disciples, junior trainees, and senior trainees, everyone without any exception, had the responsibility of finishing their mission quotas every lunar cycle.

This was a very strict rule.

After registering both of their talents and test scores with the missions department, Master Marcel turned around to leave, though, not before giving Tang Yue a piece of his mind.

"You seem to have some outstanding missions which you previously took?"

"Are junior disciples even allowed to take missions?"

"It's one thing to use your status and authority to receive missions which you are clearly not supposed to."

"But at least have enough respect to the Association so as to not treat these missions lightly."

"If you are unable to finish them by yourself, join a group. Hmph."

The elf seemed to be very offended by Tang Yue's outstanding missions.

"Tsk. Tsk. That is not a good attitude, princess. Let me know if you need any help with the missions." Marvin as well chuckled and added, very magnanimously.

Tang Yue smiled. This was indeed her mistake, but then again…

She twirled a few strands of her long silky black locks and calmly answered.

"Sorry, Master Marcel. I will immediately finish my pending missions."

The elf Marcel satisfactorily nodded and prepared to leave, but Tang Yue was not done yet.

"Just a second, Master. I completely agree with you. One should never misuse their authority."

"How could a junior disciple be assigned dangerous missions?"

"Please launch an investigation to get to the bottom of this."

"I realize my mistakes and I am prepared to accept the consequences of my errors."

"I would like to be officially charged with a suitable punishment."

Huh? Master Marcel was shocked. He couldn't help but wonder if anything wrong had happened.

At least it was clear that things were not as simple as they looked. So he quickly decided to not press on this issue any further.

"Hmm… No need. As long as this doesn't repeat." He nodded and left.

Tang Yue chuckled. She thought she was shrewd but the elves were even more shrewd!

At the first signs of any error from their side, the master alchemist immediately ran away.

And following him, Marvin also ran away.

It looked as if he was in a hurry, otherwise, how could the chubby elf miss this opportunity to rub more dirt on Tang Yue's face.

Tang Yue silently watched the two arrogant elves scurry away in opposite directions.

She chuckled and lowered her gaze to the parchment in her hands with her long forked tongue flickering in and out.

Even if Marcel hadn't reminded her, Tang Yue was itching to head back into the forests again.

Her cultivation base was still low, but now she had a lot more weapons in her arsenal.

With her current strength, she wouldn't have to flee and hide like the last time.

On this trip, she could step into the forests like a true hunter.

But it was not quite the right time just yet.

Tang Yue wanted to sharpen a couple of her skills before heading out to finish her missions.

During the pill concoction test the previous day, she had made a lucky observation.

The more she used certain skills the more their proficiency levels increased.

For instance, her startle skill was at level 2 now.

Though there were not many changes to the effect of the skill with this small increase, it only seemed logical that there would be some important changes at higher levels.

Using this skill, if she could break the concentration of an enemy during a fight, it could definitely prove life-saving!

So Tang Yue decided to level her startle skill as much as possible before heading out.

After finishing a couple of other procedures, Tang Yue swiftly returned back to her chamber.

"Lotte. Lotte." She loudly called for her palace aide.

Looking at the poor guy, she almost laughed out loud. The poor elf unfortunately had a long day ahead of him.

"Let's go for a walk." She smiled and said.

Huh? Lotte scratched his head and nodded.

It was a very unusual order coming from the princess.

The elf quietly followed the snake princess as she strolled around the palace gardens.

However, for some reason, he felt very weird.

At times, he felt extremely muddle-headed and confused.

He was even absent-mindedly bumping into shrubs and bushes.

"Huh? Huh? What is happening?" Lotte scratched his head in confusion.
