Chapter 230: Tang Yue has daddy issues Part3

After confirming that the little kid was still asleep, Tang Yue cautiously slithered out from the corner and quickly crushed another disguise rune to get back to her dwarven figure.

She saw that Little Blue was about to yelp in joy after seeing her serpentine form, and quickly signaled it to shush.

She cursed her back luck and carefully tip-toed to put her robes back on and readjusted her appearance.

Thankfully, the boy was in a deep sleep and didn’t even toss and turn from the disturbance.

Tang Yue sat back down in a meditative pose as if nothing happened and quietly closed her eyes.

She could feel the overwhelming presence of earthen essence swirling around her and sucked it all in greedily.

But unexpectedly, this essence did not mix with her fire elemental core.

The earthen essence circulated through her meridians and started accumulating into another ball of energy in her lower abdomen, right next to her fire elemental core.

Two cores? Tang Yue was shocked. She had never heard any such thing before.

[Of course, you are still in the Martial realm. Why would you know such a thing?] The familiar mocking voice sounded in her head.

[Little snake, cultivation in higher realms is not a joke.] 

[Just because of this impulsive decision today, you are going to have to work twice as hard.] The old man sternly said.

Tang Yue nodded. She was not afraid of a little hard work. 

This step was extremely important for her disguise, so there was no other way around it. She awkwardly cleared her throat and reasoned with herself, though she knew that deep down she had done this just to help out that old man, even if it was a little bit.

Tang Yue glanced at the kid again, who was still sleeping quite peacefully. 

She wordlessly closed her eyes back up again and started cultivating her earth elemental core.

Considering the state of everything in the dwarven empire and her own identity, she already had a vague plan in her mind as to how she would accomplish her main goals.

There were several things that she needed to do, but everything had to wait until she formed a solid and stable earthen elemental core.

As the young dwarven girl fastidiously continued cultivating, Xander was wide awake.

For the first time in his life, he was utterly shocked. He was at a complete loss of words over what had just happened.

The woman, all of a sudden, had exhibited an affinity to the earth elemental and started cultivating the essence the very next minute as if she was casually breathing in and breathing out.

WHAT THE HECK???

Since when did cultivation become so easy?

Even among elves, there were not too many people who could wield multiple elemental magic at the same time.

Even if one tried to force it, they would only end up contaminating the existing cultivation core in their bodies.

They would certainly not be able to materialize another ball of the essence and simultaneously nurture two cores. Not everyone was gifted enough to do such a thing.

One’s body needed to be attuned to both the elementals with an above-average affinity to be able to accomplish something like this.

And this was an extremely rare thing!

Xander wanted to extend his soul sense and completely analyze the woman sitting in front of him, but he knew that if he did so, his identity would definitely be exposed.

Her soul was already in the Demi-God realm. So there was no way he could survey her advancements without giving away his presence.

Xander silently laid still and continued ‘sleeping’, as his mind wandered to the million questions he had.

He was nothing short of impressed. 

When this woman had first come to Eldoria, she was a mere cripple, but now, she was already a cultivator with one leg in the Demi-God realm.

He had always assumed that she had come to this stage because of a few lucky encounters and perhaps the labyrinth inheritance.

But even he knew that it took more than luck to persistently grow like this and Tang Yue was growing at a monstrous pace.

The question was what would happen if she continued to grow at this pace? 

What would happen if she became capable enough to topple their entire regime?

No wonder those old fogies were so threatened by her! They could intuitively feel how dangerous she was!

Xander chuckled inwardly. He didn’t even have to guess what had happened to his own intuition.

He was so caught off guard by her charm and her playfulness, that he had vastly underestimated her.

He had never considered her to be his equal or the possibility that one day, she might become stronger than him.

He had never thought about the secrets that she might harbor and her intentions, above all.

But the worst part was… even though he knew that something was off about her now, what would exactly change?

Xander chuckled. 

His sexy troublemaker had pushed him once again in between a rock and a hard place.

Now was he supposed to think like a ruler? Or was he supposed to think like a man who loved her?

Xander felt tired. 

For an instant, he just wanted to shed his disguise and grab the woman he loved so dearly.

He wanted to leave all these complications aside and simply be a man embracing his woman.

As Xander’s head throbbed with an ache and confusion that was beyond his understanding, he felt two soft and warm hands carefully pick him and lift him up.

Tang Yue had bundled him like a toddler and was carrying him on her shoulder as she headed back to the chieftain’s house.

He could feel the warmth radiating from her touch and her soft hug.

Xander froze for a second.

Even though he was a nobody and clearly in no way her friend or relative, she still showered so much love and affection for him.

Someone like this couldn’t possibly be a bad Empress right?

He closed his eyes and breathed in the cold freezing air of the night, which only accentuated the woman’s warmth and care.
