Novel Bin Chapter 30: Caught red-handed
Chapter 30: Caught red-handed
Tang Yue hid beneath the muddy swamp surface as she spat out the space pearl from her mouth.
She retrieved the long sword from the pearl and quickly shapeshifted into her human form.
Her plus-sized figure created ripples in the still murky waters as she clenched her overpowered long sword.
She carefully positioned herself and leaped at the last confused bird with every bit of speed and agility she could muster.
The bird got stunned and flustered. It immediately tried to fly out and escape, but Tang Yue’s sharp sword cut through its body in no time, heavily injuring one of its wings in the process.
Without its powerful wings and its enhanced agility, the bird was totally helpless like a chicken on a chopping board.
Its sharp talons were barely a match to Tang Yue’s mid-grade long sword, and the fight was over in no time.
Tang Yue smoothly finished the bird in a couple of seconds and pocketed the fourth bird as well in her space pearl.

Several new notifications popped up, but Tang Yue decisively ignored them for now. It was time to return back to the palace.
She had neither finished the alchemy association mission nor the quest issued by the system. But none of that mattered when compared to her life.
Her meridians were finally healed and she can easily power-up in the comfort of her palace chamber, so why should she unnecessarily engage in life and death battles in the middle of a deadly forest???
“This missy does not fight losing battles!” Tang Yue changed back into her thick serpentine form and slithered as fast as she could towards the Elven establishment.
She was already near the outskirts of the forest and should definitely be able to reach the settlement area by nightfall.
And just as she had expected, Tang Yue did reach the palace gates in a few hours, though she had almost exhausted her entire stamina and energy to get there.
She didn’t know how exactly to quantify it, but she definitely felt that her speed and strength had vastly increased after reaching Level 2.
Fuuu… Fuuu… Tang Yue breathed out in relief.
It was almost midnight, and she was finally back in the safety of the palace.
On any given day, she would rather lock heads with these poisonous consorts compared to those dangerous wild beasts. Wait, or was it the other way around?
Tang Yue chuckled as she momentarily forgot about her new physique and happily strutted into the palace in a relaxed manner.
All the consorts’ chambers were located in the vicinity of the crown prince’s main resting chamber.
Because theoretically, their sole purpose in the palace was to serve him and ensure his entertainment and relaxation.
So Tang Yue’s chamber was also close to his, though hers was on one of the remote corners.
She still needed to walk past the main courtyard to reach her chamber.
“That idiot Dranuk and other headaches can wait till tomorrow. Tonight this princess deserves a nice long beauty sleep.”
Tang Yue chuckled and happily skipped over towards her chamber.
The entire day had been a fucking roller coaster and she was very mentally exhausted.
But little did she know that the day was not yet over!!!
The happy snake hummed a tune, as she obliviously walked over to her chamber, half-smiling, and half-yawning.
When suddenly…
A loud boisterous laughter sounded behind her.
It was so loud and clear as if someone had dropped an enormous glass chandelier from the ceiling to the floor.
“Which madman was out this late???” Tang Yue, who was very annoyed and slightly curious turned around to see what happened when her entire body froze up in shock.
In front of her, a dozen or so heavily armor-clad glittering and shimmering royal elven generals were scattered.
Each and every one of them was a superior warrior and combat expert, with their strength and battle prowess a hundred times surpassing her own capabilities.
“Why are these monsters gathered in the middle of the night?” Tang Yue’s tired mind pondered as her gaze fell on the two particularly eye-catching elves standing in their midst.
The elf on the right was the one who had laughed out so rambunctiously and still continued his obnoxious laughter.
While the one on the left, looked at her, with his sharp piercing eyes lingering on her body. The man had a long flowing silver hair and his aura was arrogant and intimidating.
Tang Yue instantly stiffened. How could she not know who this was?!!
“Oh shit!” Tang Yue panicked. She had almost forgotten about her new figure.
Heavens only knew how this cold-blooded arrogant elven prince might react to this sudden change??
Would he consider such a small …cough…cough… and insignificant change in the figure as an intentional disrespect??
