Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Almost the entire day passed before Tang Yue could feel the load in her stomach lighten up a bit.

Her emerald eyes silently gleamed in the darkness, and the snake lazily sighed.

"Not bad. At least now I can revert back to my human figure and redo my disguise."

She quickly changed back to the sweet innocent dwarven girl Yana and cleaned up the mine without leaving any trace of a struggle.

Tang Yue then dusted her hands and turned towards the other dwarven girl in the quarry.

Zinya was still stark naked and sitting like a statue facing the wall.

Tang Yue had been repeatedly casting the "enslave" spell on her.

Thanks to that even her spell proficiency had increased a lot.

She didn't know if casting such a spell again and again, without any rest for the mind to mend itself, will affect the person's overall cognition and mental growth, but she couldn't care less.

Tang Yue looked at the dwarven girl and gave out the last command.

Zinya then blankly and obediently nodded and rushed out of the quarry.

Tang Yue also left soon after that, along with Little Blue and Charlotte and the trio went back to the house.

Kosa had still not returned. So Tang Yue gave a quick greeting to the housemaid and went into her room.

"Big sis, you are back." The little kid flashed a big beaming smile and came running towards Tang Yue.

He hugged her tightly and sucked in a huge breath of air as if he was drinking in her scent.

Charlotte rolled her eyes at the kid's antics and scoffed loudly.

Tang Yue chuckled and picked him up. "Where have you been all day?" She asked him.

But the kid simply continued smiling and playing with her hair.

A couple of seconds later, he let out a small yawn and eagerly asked Tang Yue, with his big adorable eyes.

"Big sis, I am so tired. Please hug me and sleep."

Tang Yue chuckled and was about to accept his offer when she suddenly remembered what had happened the previous time she took a nap.

She immediately shook her head and dropped the kid down like a hot potato.

While she was still reeling in the memories of that incredibly horrifying dream, a sweet and soft voice sounded near her.

"Umm… Yue… Do you want to take a bath first before sleeping?" Charlotte asked.

"Ba… bath?" Tang Yue stuttered. She thought about what happened in her last bath and gulped nervously.

She then slowly turned her head in fear and looked at the elf, trying to gauge her reactions.

But somehow Charlotte didn't even blink when she met her gaze. She was… She was…

Why the hell is she blushing?

"No. Big sis, let's take a nap." The kid interjected, unable to hold it in any longer.

No one noticed that the kid had clenched both his fists so tightly that his knuckles were pale blue, almost white.

"No. We spent the entire day in the mines. We should bath first." Charlotte rebuked him.

Tang Yue blankly nodded and her gaze wandered between Charlotte and the little kid, one after the other.

Her mind was spinning and her brain was over-heated.

Tang Yue swallowed nervously and shook her head like a maniac, before running over to the backyard.

"Please. No more sleep or baths for me. Thank you."

Huff... Huff... Damn it! Why has my life suddenly become so complicated!!! She cursed inwardly and summoned her soul sword to practice for a bit.

After all, she was still waiting for the digestion to complete, and practicing sword moves most definitely helped with that.

Meanwhile… in the neighboring village…

A loud scream echoed in the village center in the middle of the night.

Immediately, several dwarves from the neighborhood rushed over outside to see what was happening.

The chieftain Byron's abode was the biggest house in the village center and the dwarves inside there as well rushed out, everyone including Byron.

Very quickly a crowd had gathered, but everyone was unnaturally very quiet.

They were shocked and did not know how to respond.

Even the chieftain, Lord Byron was standing still, stupefied.

In front of the crowd, trembling and terrified was a young dwarven girl.

She was completely naked, her body covered with goosebumps from the chill of the night.

But ironically, she was holding a set of clothes in her hands.

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised about this turn of events and started murmuring to each other.

Since it was the middle of the night, the gathered dwarves were mostly men, so no one had the etiquette to even offer the naked woman some clothes.

After a few seconds, Byron cleared his throat awkwardly and asked.

"Who are you? What happened? Why are you standing here like this?"

"What happened? Why did you scream for help?"

Just as he was inquiring, someone from the crowd loudly shouted. "Hey, isn't this beauty queen Zinya?"

"Zinya?" Byron's face immediately changed and a slight unease crept up his heart. He had heard the name Zinya before.

Wasn't this one of his son's girlfriends?

"What happened? What the hell happened? Stop crying and say what happened."

This time he shouted at her, actually meaning whatever he said.

"A big… A big…" Zinya stammered fearfully. "A big snake attacked us in the forest and swallowed…"

She didn't complete her sentence and started sobbing uncontrollably.

"Swallowed what? Swallowed what?" Byron ran towards her and shook her by grabbing her shoulders.

His eyes fell on the clothes that had fallen on the ground haphazardly and a small gasp escaped his lips.

Somehow he already knew the answer to the question!

Those were unmistakably Barton's clothes!!!

"Damn it, Zinya. Stop it. Tell me what happened first." Byron shook the dwarven girl again.

The crowd started looking at each other weirdly, not understanding why their chieftain was acting so strangely.

Zinya sobbed hard and panted out of breath. She still couldn't get her words out.

Finally, after a whole minute, her voice hoarsely mumbled again.

"A snake attacked us and killed Barton and… and… and ate him."

Byron was shocked to his core. His eyes became bloodshot and his body froze.

The usually haughty and arrogant dwarf crumbled on the ground.

He knelt on the ground and clutched his head. He couldn't even think clearly and clutched his head.

And Zinya as well fainted and collapsed on the ground, maybe from the excessive stress or maybe from having her mind-controlled for an entire day.

These two might be lying deathly still but the crowd heard everything and started gossiping and murmuring in the back.

"Hey, wasn't the chieftain's son engaged to Yana? He was committing adultery behind her back?"

"Shut up. Who the hell cares about that? What the heck is this new snake monster?

"It must have definitely been a higher grade beast to have even killed Barton without making a sound!"

"Since when did our forests have a mid-grade or a high-grade beast?"

"Just be thankful that there are no traces of it now. Even a mid-grade beast can easily demolish our village."

"Ya, it must have been coincidentally passing by our village and stopped by here for a quick meal."

The guessing game started and several assumptions started flying around.

But there was one thing that no one questioned anymore.

The chieftain's son Barton had been clearly committing adultery with Zinya and even paid for it with his life!!!

After a few more minutes passed by, Byron finally stood up, his entire figure trembling.

"Let's head to the forest." His hoarse voice weakly sounded, as the man lifelessly waved his hand at his lackeys.

He was unable to accept the fact that his treasured son with limitless future prospects had disappeared from this world without even leaving a trace behind.

All that now remained were the clothes which he had worn last night! Oh, God!

Without Barton, everything that Byron had planned for and dreamed about came crashing down.

He had other heirs but Barton was the only one who was talented enough to take their family to the next level.

Byron was utterly defeated.

The man's head was drooped down like a wilted flower as he and his lackeys went to the forests to search for the missing young master.

As a bunch of dwarves followed behind Byron and his men, to provide more manpower for their search, the leftover crowd finally turned their attention towards the unconscious naked girl lying on the ground.

Someone splashed some water on her face and Zinya slowly stirred awake.

"Where am I?" She rubbed her eyes and sat up in confusion.

It took her a couple of seconds, but she looked at the crowd full of men around her, blinking in a haze.

Some were looking at her with pity. Some were looking at her with anger and ridicule.

And some even were looking at her with a vicious glint in their eyes.

Hmmm? Zinya slowly tried to get up. But as she looked down, her eyes shook and the realization hit her hard.

Ahhh! Noooo! The girl screamed and scampered on the ground, trying to cover herself with Barton's clothes that were still lying near her.

"Stop looking. Stop looking." She sobbed, panic-stricken.

What the hell am I even doing here? She got up, after hurriedly covering herself and wiping her tears, but she knew that it was already too late.

Her entire future was ruined! How could she even marry Barton anymore?

At most she could only spend the rest of her life as someone else's mistress.
