Chapter 410 Playing with fire Part5
In one of the numerous pocket realms crammed in different corners of the world, there was an island, neither too big nor too small. There was nothing really special about the island.
It was abundant in resources, mountains, forests, terrifying beasts and there was even a magnificent palace smack dab in the middle of the island.
However, right this second, there was something strange happening on this deserted isolated mass of land. Loud thuds echoed in several places and giant beasts strangely fell.
And not just ordinary beasts but Emperor-tier beasts, rulers of their territory. The entire island fell into a state of chaos and commotion.
With the different rulers of the island mysteriously wiped out in the blink of an eye, the other beasts had no idea what to make out of things and began to wander around and fight with each other aimlessly.
The ecosystem of the island fully collapsed.
However, the main culprit responsible for the whole fiasco couldn't care less about it. Tang Yue's beautiful emerald eyes twinkled like stars as she saw powerful beasts being heaped in front of her.
"Your highness." The dragon bowed and gritting its teeth, it dropped every last beast it had hunted by running around the island.
The enormous beast bowed its head and respectfully waited, though there was a subtle glint in its eyes hiding a myriad swirl of emotions.
As opposed to the dragon's solemn tone, the serpentine woman cocked her head to the side playfully and flashed a big smile. "You did well."
The dragon once again silently nodded as if it was an obedient little pet.
Tang Yue chuckled lightly looking at the two vicious slit-like eyes of the beast. She then straightened up from her casual position and without paying any further attention to the beast, she sat down in a meditative posture.
"Ok, you three. Close the tunnel and stand guard for me. I will be going into a closed door… oh ha ha… closed tunnel meditation now?"
"And… hmmm… perhaps my fourth pet will stand outside the tunnel as a guard?"
Tang Yue's silly giggle along with her frivolous words echoed in the tunnel, as Eleana moved and closed the tunnel with the almighty dragon still standing outside the door.
"I am really shutting the door on a dragon's face?" The harpy's hands trembled the whole time as she did what Tang Yue ordered her to.
Despite knowing that a strong barrier surrounds the palace and the tunnels, Eleana still couldn't help but gulp in nervousness.
The door was soon closed and the dragon seemed to continue staring inside with a calm and composed expression.
It neither cared about Tang Yue's frivolous attitude or the way she casually called it her pet. Until the very end, Eleana hadn't even seen it blink.
Its yellow eyes only indifferently gazed at them. It looked like a dutiful servant ready to follow its master's commands.
Bam! Eleana pushed the door further and made sure it was completely closed. Only then she relaxed and let out a long sigh.
As opposed to Eleana's cautious and shaky behavior, the other two in the tunnel cackled and howled in excitement.
"Idiot. Idiot." Little Plum rolled on the tunnel's cold wall and giggled, its lycan form rubbing its body against the floor. Following its actions, Little Blue as well did the same.
Both of them were entertaining each other mocking the mighty powerful dragon standing guard like a chump outside the tunnel.
Eleana was left speechless. She had no idea what was happening. She looked at the two little buffoons rolling on the floor and then at Tang Yue.
She felt that something was not quite right and just like she thought, Tang Yue also had a solemn expression.
"You can talk Little Plum?" Tang Yue hissed. Her voice made the wolf jump and it quickly composed itself, standing straight once again like an obedient kid.
Watching its actions, Little Blue as always, mimicked the fire elemental. It too stood near the red flaming wolf.
"Yes, Masta. Little Plum managed to evolve again." The elemental grinned revealing all its canines and muttered with a glee.
The battle outside had been very fortuitous for the little elemental and it finally managed to fully grasp the laws of the small fragment of heavenly flame and completely absorb it.
Tang Yue nodded and went back to activate her soul strength siphoning skill to absorb whatever soul strength was left in the heap of Emperor-tier beasts.
Before looking at the different beasts in detail, she wanted to tend to this part first as the soul fragments remaining were weak and only a step away from degrading.
While she did that, Little Plum and Little Blue busied themselves and began segregating all the meat that was piled around Tang Yue. By now they were not really strangers to her appetite and decided to help her organize her feast.
Only Eleana still looked stupified. What… what the hell just happened?
She quietly pondered about the recent events, wondering if she should ask Tang Yue about it or not. She looked at the slender woman who silently mediated while inhaling huge thick wisps of soul energy.
"Hmm… You have something on your mind?" Tang Yue's long forked tongue flickered in and out and her soft yet resolute voice rang out.
"Your highness." Eleana immediately bowed, worried that she had disturbed her Master.
"It's alright speak up." Tang Yue waved her hand.
Eleana nodded and without any hesitation muttered what was bothering her about this whole situation.
"Your highness, that dragon… how could it so easily give in? It might be… umm… plotting something."
She knew that Tang Yue was not as simple as she looked and probably considered this herself, but at the same time, she wanted to do her best and give her counsel anyways.
Hearing Eleana's words, Tang Yue simply smiled, but the other two wolves stood frozen, stopping what they were doing.
They acted as if a great realization had dawned upon them and fiercely nodded, agreeing with Eleana's words.
