Chapter 270: New allies Part3

Ding. Congratulations. Skill upgraded.

Ding. Skill ‘One with the Earth’ has been upgraded to Level 2

Tang Yue wiped the sweat off of her forehead and glanced at the notifications.

Her lips twitched at the sight of these annoying reminders.

She had now been practicing the same technique for several days but to no avail.

No matter how many times she used the skill ‘One with the Earth’ it was still useless.

She was unable to perfectly grasp the concept and fully refine a mid-grade ore.

The roadblock in front of her was staggeringly difficult to overcome even though she had improved her physical strength, mental strength, and cultivation base and stepped into the Emperor realm.

In fact, she was now only a single realm away from her father, Tang Shen, and her uncle, Tang Zen, the Serpentine Clan Emperor himself, who were both only Saint realm experts.

Stepping into the Emperor realm was a big deal to a spirit beast like Tang Yue.

However, she knew very well that this was not nearly enough to accomplish her goals.

To live freely and unafraid required a tremendous amount of strength and power.

She craved this freedom and she wanted to completely decimate those who dared to threaten her and her loved ones.

As Tang Yue resolutely picked up the hammer again and began the arduous training, a loud deafening bang sounded.

The next instant, the door of the smithy collapsed and even broke apart into two halves, wooden splinters flying out everywhere.

And before the dust from this event settled, a loud angry voice echoed inside the smithy.

“Get the fuck out here, you drunkard.”

“You only know to borrow money!”

“WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK WILL RETURN IT!”

A crowd had gathered outside and a group of dwarves were loudly yelling at the smithy, creating a ruckus.

Unfortunately, their anger and frustration were only falling on deaf ears as the drunkard was still peacefully sleeping.

The men outside were, of course, aware of this shameless asshole.

So one of the bulkier dwarves loudly harrumphed and stepped inside, stomping his feet on the floor.

At the same time, Tang Yue put down the things in her hand and calmly walked out.

The dwarf was slightly surprised to see a new person in the run-down smithy.

“Are you a relative of that bastard?” He angrily asked.

Tang Yue calmly shook her head.

“Then? Who the fuck are you?”

“Umm… I am master’s disciple.” She casually replied.

The dwarf was completely taken aback by her reply and blinked his eyes in disbelief.

He then suddenly burst into a huge fit of laughter, clutching his stomach.

It took him a couple of seconds to pipe down.

The others were also laughing out loud, not bothering to hide their contempt.

“Disciple?” The man sneered and stepped inside the smithy, slightly pushing Tang Yue aside with his burly arm.

Xander’s face immediately darkened but he kept his cool and didn’t react.

“Yes, I am his disciple.” Tang Yue muttered.

“Shut up bitch. Stop spouting nonsense. We are not here to play with you.”

“Get that dog to come out and pay his debt or else don’t blame me for taking action.”

“Hmmm…” Tang Yue’s eyes turned frosty. They were merely talking. Why did he have to unnecessarily insult her?

“How much does he owe you?” She asked.

The dwarf who was about to go inside and drag the drunkard out suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned towards Tang Yue and licked his lips viciously. “100000 gold coins. What are you going to do about it?”

Tang Yue didn’t say much. She silently rummaged inside her robe and took out a spatial pouch.

“Here you go.” She shoved the pouch into the dwarf’s hands.

“Master has already given me the gold coins required to clear his debt.”

“No need to create any scene here. Please get out.” She calmly replied and crossed her arms.

To the current Tang Yue, this much money was not really a big deal.

Even though the drunkard had barely done anything for her, his smithy still served as a home and a training space for her.

So she didn’t mind paying off his debts.

The dwarf, however, was utterly flabbergasted.

He hurriedly opened the spatial pouch and checked inside to make sure that the entire amount was present.

The man had never seen so many gold coins together at the same time and his mouth was wide open, even some drool leaking.

He looked at the contents of the pouch and then dazedly looked at his companion standing outside.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He didn’t know what to say.

But his companion quickly recovered from the shock and cleared his throat loudly, drawing Tang Yue’s attention to him.

This dwarf looked at her sternly and demanded. “That’s only one-half. Ahem. Wait. That’s only one-quarter of what the drunkard owes us.”

“Who is going to pay the remaining amount?” He angrily glared at her.

Tang Yue remained calm, but her lips curled upwards into a subtle smile.

“Only one-quarter?” She grinned.

“You mean to say that my master owes you another 300000 gold coins?”

The other dwarf who had walked inside quickly winked, having caught up to the plan.

“Ha! Yes, of course. Why would we lie? Just give us the money and we won’t bother anymore!”

“It’s not like we don’t have other things to do.”

Coming here and begging this old fart every other day for money is a big nuisance!”

“Is this what we get for helping someone in need? We did a good thing and this drunkard wasted all our money.”

The dwarf hurriedly started blabbering and threw out half-baked explanations.

While these things were happening, a few yards away from the smithy and Tang Yue, a lean and muscular figure was casually leaning against a pole and observing the whole thing.

“Your highness, should I intervene?” A dwarf next to the figure bowed and asked.

“No need.”

The dwarven royal family’s seventh heir, third in line to the throne, Layla’s step-brother, Prince Jorden replied.

He didn’t want to act just yet and calmly observed the situation.
