Tang Yue stared at the translucent blue screen in front of her, as the corner of her mouth twitched.
You... WHY? JUST WHY????
She, of course, could easily guess the prime suspects.
Her eyes slowly darted towards the elegant and mesmerizing Queen consort Charlotte who seemed to be busily chatting with her friends and relatives.
As she was also eagerly looking towards Tang Yue, ever so often, waiting for the poison to take action, their eyes instantly met.
Tang Yue's cold and murderous glare frightened Charlotte and the beautiful elf immediately turned away in embarrassment.
Bingo.
Now that she had won that staring contest and caught the culprit red-handed Tang Yue shook her head in disappointment and continued binging on the meat in front of her.
While she noticed the guilty look on Charlotte's face from across the room, Tang Yue completely failed to notice the strange look on the perplexed fairy next to her.
"There is definitely something wrong with the meat this time, but this dumb snake is still stuffing her mouth with it??"
The fairy hesitated but eventually, his eyes trailed back to the royal table. He was here on business today and couldn't bother to get involved in someone else's mess.
A few more minutes passed and the feast was finally coming to an end.
With the divine smell of alcohol and aromatic delicacies still lingering in the air, everyone looked stuffed and sloshed.
The elven princes bid their farewell and left one after the other. Several groups of elves and other guests also started excusing themselves and heading out of the banquet hall.
Meeting and talking about business in such a public place is not very convenient.
The feast was more like a meet and greet and the real talks typically happened once the crowd dispersed into smaller groups.
Tang Yue as well quietly mumbled something incoherent and excused herself.
In the end, the feast turned out to be not that bad and she was excited to head back and look at her hard-earned upgrades.
Also, she didn't want to stumble across her dear father and uncle one more time.
As she quietly hurried over to her private chamber taking the short cut from the palace banquet hall, Tang Yue came across a very rare and strange sight.
The eldest elven prince, Xavier was going at it in the palace weapons storage, with two sexy vixens.
The trio were unabashedly moaning and enjoying themselves in the semi-private weapons storage room. Xavier in particular looked totally out of it, and completely drunk.
Tang Yue initially looked away in embarrassment but her cunning brain wheels nevertheless rotated on their own.
In front of her was the perfect chance to knee the eldest elven prince, if the damned lucky wheel by chance landed on that option!!!
The elf was so sloshed that she doubted he will even remember the deed later on.
She knew that she would never get this chance again, so Tang Yue quickly hid behind a corner and mentally willed for the "lucky wheel" to materialize.
She gritted her teeth and spun the damn thing, praying for it to land on something good.
"Go Go Go Go." The snake woman excitedly cheered holding her life in her palm.
But the wheel didn't reciprocate her urgency and only came to a halt after an entire minute.
Ding. Congratulations. You have been rewarded 100 Experience points.
Ahhh. Damn it. Tang Yue cursed.
She clenched her fists and spun the wheel of doom for the second time.
RA TA TA TA TA TA TA
Ding. Congratulations. You have been rewarded 100 Experience points.
"What the hell?!!!" Tang Yue almost shouted in anger.
She had mulled over this decision for an entire night and then some more, only for the stupid wheel to land on free experience points not once but twice???
"Come in front of me, this elder who made this system. I promise I won't harm you."
Tang Yue let out a loud sigh, as she listlessly spun the stupid wheel for the last time, thereby using all her three chances.
RA TA TA TA TA TA TA
50 seconds... 55 second... 60 seconds...
The wheel finally came to a halt, but this time around, weirdly it didn't stop on any particular option!
The arrow on the wheel was stuck right in the middle, between two options:
5. Archaic elemental contract and
6. Approach Queen consort Charlotte and caress her breasts
"Finally!!" Tang Yue grinned.
Though it looked fishy, with the arrow in the middle, Tang Yue firmly believed that she could argue with the system and get the one she wanted, the Archaic elemental contract, such a powerful cultivation technique!!
Her time to power-up was finally here!!!
