Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 47: Chaos and Strife Part3

Tang Yue grimaced at the half-baked explanation.

But at least she finally understood what all the quests had been focused around.

She also had a clearer idea of what she needed to do now to improve her strength.

A living being can only step into higher realms when a certain balance was achieved.

The mind, body, soul, and cultivation base, everything has to be trained in concert to achieve such a feat.

This was not exactly a secret. In fact, it was common knowledge.

But most people choose to ignore it, mainly because training one's mind and soul was extremely difficult and required an extravagant amount of resources.

However, the difficulty also came with rewards.

Cultivators who focussed on this balance are often head and shoulders above the cultivators who ignored this aspect and focussed solely on their cultivation base or their soul strength.

One of the reasons why the elven crown prince stood untouchable, at the top, is because he had attained the sacred Demi-God realm, whilst maintaining this balance.

Tang Yue licked her lips in anticipation.

If she could really count on this stupid system to embark on the path of perfection and balance, then everything could change for her.

Only by standing shoulder to shoulder with that monster will she ever have any real chance at her freedom.

And more importantly, she had to achieve this strength and prowess in secret.

Else she might be killed even before she stepped into the next realm.

As she was contemplating her future, a familiar notification sounded.

[Sneaky Snake System Quest Alert]

[New Quest Available: Gain an affinity to the fire element]

[Reward: 50 Experience Points]

It looked like her quest notifications were back up again!

Tang Yue grinned. "An easy one!"

She settled back into her meditative pose and retrieved a Fire twin-tailed bird from her space pouch.

She stared at the uncooked meat in front of her and cringed before swallowing the bird in its entirety.

She then went back to burying her head in the study of herbs.

While Tang Yue was busy grinding meat in her stomach, her sexual assault victim queen consort Charlotte was busy pacing back and forth in her private chambers.

A lowly snake beast dared to tarnish her purity that she had been meticulously saving for her beloved prince and on top of that even blackmailed her for money.

How could she possibly let this go?? She needed to exact vengeance for this injustice!

Charlotte patiently waited for the nightfall, when she slipped out of her private chambers in silence.

This time she did not have her two lackeys around, who specialized in constant yapping and flowery flattery.

She quietly slipped out the royal palace using one of the side exits and stepped into the darkness of the night undetected.

She then carefully used a black robe to cover her body and her mesmerizingly beautiful porcelain face.

She was now dressed in black from top to bottom. Even her slender ears were hidden by skillful wrapping, leaving behind only her beautiful deep-set almond-shaped eyes.

However, her eyes lacked the usual arrogant calmness and were instead filled with unfathomable fury.

Charlotte blended into the darkness as she sneakily stomped over to an abandoned building in the far end of the elven abodes.

No one noticed her in the bustling streets, as she calmly entered the run-down residence's courtyard.

"Ha Ha What brings the enchanting and beautiful elven princess here?" A middle-aged snarky voice commented.

The figure in the shadows apparently recognized Charlotte even with her 'extensive' efforts to camouflage.

The alluring elf ignored the glib greeting and got down to brass tacks.

"I need to commission a mission." Her voice echoed in the seemingly empty tattered building.

The figure from the shadows chuckled and in the next instant appeared in front of Charlotte.

"Hmmm A royal mission huh?" A pair of elongated sinistrous eyes gazed at Charlotte, scanning her elegant figure from top to bottom.

"A personal mission." Charlotte gritted her teeth and mumbled.

She retrieved a parchment from inside her robe and handed it over to the goblin standing in front of her.

"Ooooo." The green skin-colored goblin tugged at his long ear and eagerly peered into the parchment.

"Eh? You want to murder your sister? What happened? A menage a trois went wrong?" The nasty goblin chuckled.

"Shut up and do as you are told." Charlotte sneered.

"Oh Oh. Calm down beautiful. This is going to be difficult." Ginko was only amused at Charlotte's anger.

"Hmph. Are you saying you can't do it?" Charlotte tapped her fingers on her crossed arms and glared at the short and slender green figure.
