Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 31: Lucky (or unlucky?) wheel Part1

Tang Yue frowned. She had never seen the crown prince in person before today. She absolutely had no idea how to react in this situation.

The man's pale face was covered with a devil's mask. And his eyes...

She was not sure if she was imagining it, but the man's eyes seemed to be dark red, the color of tainted blood.

Snapping out of her reverie, she somehow managed to bow and mumble in a low voice. "Greetings, your highness."

But adding to her misery, prince Xavier, crown prince Xander's elder brother clutched his stomach and kept on laughing.

He laughed so hard, that he was about to wake up the entire palace.

The other elven generals also had strange looks on their faces, but no one else dared to laugh out loud like prince Xavier. The man had guts.

Tang Yue uncomfortably fidgeted. She could faintly feel the cold-blooded prince's frigid stare on her soul.

This was the man who had slaughtered thousands of enemies and reached the demi-god stage. In front of his overwhelming presence, her body involuntarily trembled.

She really wanted to run away from there, or at least dig a hole and bury herself in it, but unfortunately, she could do neither of those, unless the crown prince allowed it.

The royalty always made the first move, unless one was dismissed.

Tang Yue didn't dare lift her head up.

She had only heard tales and rumors about him. But just those were enough to instill fear and dread in her heart. This man was a monster.

With her head still bowed down, she clutched the edges of her robe and tried to calm her shivering body.

Though it felt like an eternity for Tang Yue, the crown prince's cold frosty eyes had merely gazed at her for an instant.

His impassive figure continued to walk back to the royal chamber, ignoring the snake consort as if nothing had happened.

The rest of the party as well followed behind him, with prince Xavier finally stopping his lunatic fit of laughter.

He threw one last look of mockery at the bowing plus-sized snake woman and adjusted his composure before catching up to the others.

With her head still bent down, Tang Yue's eyes trailed the last of the disappearing legs.

Making sure everyone had left, she turned around and ran for her life, without looking back.

Only after reaching her chamber and closing the door behind her, she slightly relaxed.

She collapsed on her feathered bed.

"Damn it. That can never happen again." Her pale blue chest heaved up and down.

"I need to stay away from that man... as far away as possible."

Tang Yue closed her eyes and tried to catch a bit of sleep, but her heart was still racing from the startling encounter a few minutes ago.

Tossing and turning restlessly on her bed, she summoned her status screen to take a look at her upgraded features.

Tang Yue frowned as she looked at the pitiful changes from her level up.

Her health and mana had only increased by a measly number and her other attributes were still stuck at the same level.

It looked like she even gained a new skill, but it was completely useless at its current level.

The Startle skill was a basic illusion magic skill, the innate ability of the serpentine clan members.

Literally, everyone who had even the tiniest bit of mana in their body could activate this skill. And it was basically useless if the other party was stronger than her.

"Well, it's still something." Tang Yue made a mental note to spend time leveling these skills and quickly flipped open the next flickering notification.

This is what she was particularly looking forward to!! The mysterious lucky wheel feature!!

As soon as she touched it, a bright fluorescent multi-colored wheel popped up in front of her. The sparkling obscenity was also accompanied by a cacophony of celebratory noises.

The sleep-deprived snake woman cringed as she ignored the unnecessary pomp and flair and looked at the scramblings on the lucky wheel.
