Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 20: Master Dranuk, the saviour! Part1

"I am able to absorb beast bloodlines too??"

Tang Yue was already satisfied with getting the high tier upgrades, but this was definitely a surprise.

She didn't expect the potion or pill residue to actually contain blood as an active ingredient.

On top of that, she was even able to absorb the bloodline of the beast from that minuscule quantity of blood!

Bloodlines held the powerful innate ability of a beast. Bloodlines in fact defined the entire beast.

So, what would happen if she devoured a beast in its entirety?? What would happen if she completely collects a bloodline??

Several confusing questions popped into her mind.

If this innate ability had not been lost for countless generations in their clan, she wouldn't be feeling this helpless right now.

The system as well was not providing any explanations. It looked like she had to experiment and find out more herself.

Since she was still in the alchemy association, Tang Yue hurriedly continued her day's chores.

After cleaning out the crown prince's practice chamber, she still needed to attend the other cleaning duties.

And while doing so, she didn't forget to pop in a few mouthfuls of dregs.

Master Dranuk saw her elegant figure skipping across the association, bustling about here and there with a smile on her sensual lips. It only made him more annoyed.

What is wrong with this princess?? Did her parents not pamper her??

How can she do these menial tasks with such a bright smile on her face???

His cold gaze stared daggers at her from a distance, before devising a devilish plan in his mind.

"Hmph. So what if this hard labor doesn't bother her? I will just send her out on a herb gathering mission!" He murmured defiantly.

Others might not have noticed it, but master Dranuk was well aware of Tang Yue's non-existent cultivation base.

Since she was a cripple, sending her out on a herb gathering mission in the perilous forests was akin to sending her to her death.

"Now let's see just how fast you come running to me and beg me to help you!" The old elf silently walked away with an evil glint in his eyes.

As he entered the missions chamber, the old elf's menacing face scared the wits out of the senior disciple elf sitting inside.

Every single disciple elf in the association was terrified of Master Dranuk, irrespective of their seniority.

The talented master alchemist was famed for his irrational temper tantrums.

He looked gruffly at the elf in charge of maintaining mission distributions and growled in anger. "Change this disciple's duties."

He pointed his finger to Tang Yue's name on the parchment listing the beginner disciples' names.

"But... But Master."

The poor elf stammered in fright. He was technically not supposed to do something like that.

Only senior elves were sent out in herb gathering missions.

This rule was specifically implemented for the safety of the disciples.

A disciple elf had to undergo multiple tests and demonstrate a solid foundation stage cultivation base before being promoted to the senior disciple status.

Since there was a high chance to encounter dangerous beasts in the perilous forests, it was extremely important to make sure that the disciple elf at least had the bare minimum capability to save himself from any unforeseen danger.

Though the specified locations might not be that precarious, there was always danger lurking around in those dark shadows.

That is why the beginner alchemy disciple elves were never sent out on any herb gathering missions.

In the process of tempering, one must not break the sword.

But... Master Dranuk here seemed particularly intent on breaking this disciple.

....

The next morning...

Mila craned his neck and looked at Tang Yue with a puzzled expression on his face. His eyes enunciated the concern and worry he felt.

Why was the royal consort assigned to this dangerous mission duty? He was confused.

After working with the princess for these past few days, he knew for a fact that she had no cultivation base whatsoever.

So why would such a weakling be assigned to do something dangerous?

"Ummm... Your highness, I think you should maybe talk to someone about this?" The junior disciple elf Mila suggested.

Contrary to the elf's nervous demeanor, Tang Yue's cold eyes didn't waver in the slightest.

Rather she was very pleased with this sudden change.

This morning she had entered the alchemy association with a completely different set of concerns compared to the ones Mila talked about.

What Tang Yue was worried about came true so fast!

As of last night, the dregs were no longer effective in improving her body constitution.

No matter how much she dunked in, none of the attributes seemed to be improving.

At this rate, it was extremely clear that she wouldn't be able to finish the quest by just relying on the leftover wastes.

Just when Tang Yue had been racking her brain about this new problem, it looked like Master Dranuk had instantly sensed her discomfort and had promptly come to her rescue!
