妻子的情人

Chapter 201: Oops! Part3

After hearing the rest of the story from Hinata’s mouth, Tang Yue’s eyes flew wide. 

She only remembered attacking the human being and everything after that was blank. 

Most likely, a powerful surge had completely knocked her out.

What she didn’t understand was… just how the hell was she still alive?!!

From the things she had heard, it looked like that human being had left before the elves and the others showed up on the scene.

So clearly he had a spare two seconds to kill her before leaving… then how was she alive?

Tang Yue absentmindedly pondered for a while before snapping out it.

“Let’s focus on more important things now. I need to tell that jerk about the human being!!”

She hurriedly got out of the bed and asked Hinata. “Is his highness around?”

“Ah~ That… that…” Hinata stammered not knowing what to reply. 

Should she tell that Xander was here just a few moments ago and suddenly ran away?

Nope! She was someone who loved her life. She wouldn’t dare do that!

“I think his highness might be busy now?” Hinata vaguely replied.

“Oh ok.” Tang Yue nodded. She then remembered something and asked Hinata another question.

“By chance, do you happen to know how Lady Charlotte is doing? Is still injured badly?” Tang Yue worriedly asked.

She had tried her best, but still… there was only so much she could do.

Everything had happened too quickly and it was beyond her limits. She felt sad that she couldn’t help Charlotte at all.

Ah~ Hinata stammered again. 

“Yes, your highness. As far as I know, the lady seems to have fully recovered.” She again answered vaguely, her forehead dripping with sweat.

“Ok then.” Tang Yue heaved a sigh of relief.

Somehow everything was resolved smoothly and no one got hurt.

This was good news.

Now the only thing that remained was informing Xander about the human being…

Would he even believe me? Tang Yue wondered.

She got out of the bed and stood up and decided to take a bath first and clean herself up while waiting for him. 

Hinata prepared the bathwater for her and Tang Yue comfortably settled into the warm waters in the bath vessel.

After being stuck in the damp and desolate labyrinth for several hours, Tang Yue felt very relaxed in the warm scented waters with flower petals.

She closed her eyes and cultivated just like that whilst relaxing for a few minutes. 

Soon the minutes turned into an entire hour as Tang Yue completely forgot about everything else and entirely focused on her fire elemental core cultivation.

The small ball of condensed mana swirled rhythmically as she inhaled and exhaled calmly, pulling in the atmospheric fire essence mana particles.

As she busied herself, a certain someone finally overcame his initial embarrassment and decided to pay her a visit.

Xander cleared his throat and stood uncomfortably in front of Tang Yue’s chamber.

He was not sure how to face her after everything that had happened.

He hesitated and paced back and forth for a bit before knocking a couple of times on the chamber door.

Tang Yue was completely immersed in her cultivation, so she didn’t notice anything at all.

Her focus was entirely on her mana core.

At first, Xander didn’t mind it. He continued to knock on the chamber door patiently for a few more minutes.

But even after a while, he still did not get any reply and the elf started getting impatient.

What is taking her so long?

Is she perhaps not feeling well?

Were there by chance some hidden inner injuries?

He started wondering, but the next second, he cursed himself for being so emotional over nothing.

He couldn’t believe that he cared about this troublesome woman so much! 

His impatience coupled with his mixed contradicting feelings about the situation and the shameless woman herself, instantly made him angry.

The elf then flicked his index finger in blatant displeasure and he barged in through the doors forcefully.

The reluctance and concern on his face were long gone and a chilling terrifying aura seeped out of his body from top to bottom just like his usual distant self.

“Are you not going to answer?” He asked, his voice sounding arrogant and cold.

Ah~ 

Tang Yue shuddered.

The elf’s strong and powerful presence had forcibly broken her out of her meditation state.

She flashed her eyes open and abruptly stood up from the bath vessel, water dripping all over the marble floor.

She was so occupied in her thoughts and caught off guard that she had completely forgotten about what she was doing.

As soon as she saw Xander, she immediately started blurting out.

“I… I saw a human being in the labyrinth.”

“Wait. Let me start from the beginning.”

“The worm ate me but it didn’t bite me. So I slid into its stomach completely unharmed.” 

“From there I somehow managed to free myself from the worm’s stomach and the lower end of the worm’s tail was near the floor of the lake.”

“I dived deeper in because I saw some weird altar near the lake’s floor.”

“I found an array of five black pearls and one white pearl there, near the altar on the floor of the azure lake.”

“I wanted to do something to help the fight. So I started checking what it was.”

“Suddenly I got pulled into a different part of the labyrinth.”

“It had different floors inside and a bunch of low-grade undead beasts.”

“I cleared them all as fast as I could, but when I came to the last floor, I saw this human being there.”

“He was in a trance, so I tried to kill him while he was in that state, but he was too strong and I got knocked out.”

She explained hurriedly in nervousness. Half her sentences did not even make sense.

However, as she started speaking, she became calmer and calmer, at least enough to omit some of the incriminating details of her story.

But at the same time, as she neared the end of her narration, she also started panicking.

Will this person believe me? What if he thinks that I have some sort of link with this human being?

Tang Yue shivered. She couldn’t even imagine the repercussions of such a thing.

“Please. Please. Please. Believe my words.” 

She muttered under her breath and scanned the crimson eyes staring at her for some sort of response or reaction.

She already regretted blurting everything out like this openly and truthfully.

Damn it. Tang Yue cursed her stupidity. She did not think this through.

Yes, informing the elven crown prince about the human being in the labyrinth was important, but so was her life.

She was a good person but she was not a saint or a martyr.

In hindsight, it would have been better if she changed the story and modified everything, before announcing it loudly to this mad man in front of her.

Damn it.

Is he just going to kill me on the spot?

Why is he standing still like this and not saying anything?

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Tang Yue started panicking.

However, when she hesitantly looked at the elf’s crimson eyes, she noticed something weird.

Every time she had met this man in the past, he had the habit of staring her down.

He had always looked directly in her eyes, the crimson eyes instilling fear and dread within her.

She was very sure that the tyrant secretly enjoyed tormenting her in this fashion.

Sometimes, she even felt as if the man had the ability to see through her very soul and she felt naked in front of him.

But today… something was definitely off…

His sharp and sword-like eyes were not staring directly at her. 

His crimson orbs did not meet her gaze and he seemed to be blankly staring at… 

at…

at… 

at a few inches below my eyes…?

Wait, is he looking at my neck?

Tang Yue looked at the man’s weird expression and slowly bent her head down to see what was he so intently staring at.

She was very confused, but the moment she bent down everything was crystal clear.

GASP! 

Tang Yue instantly turned bright purple. 

She had completely forgotten that she was taking a bath before she slipped into the meditative state and was now standing there completely naked!

That too… in… in front of this madman!!

Fuck! Today was simply not a good day for her!!!

She had always felt naked in front of him, but this time she was really naked!!

Tang Yue’s mind went blank. She was too terrified of this devil in front of her.

Her sister had just revealed some cleavage and he had instantly punished them with a thousand lashes.

What was he going to do to her?

She hadn’t just revealed her cleavage! She was standing like a dufus, completely naked.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

The elf’s blank expressionless face only made her fears even worse.

Her mind fumbled in confusion as she hurriedly tried to cover her chest with her hands.

She then realized that she didn’t have a third hand to cover her other private part.

She cursed her dumbness and quickly turned around.

But then she realized that she was now showing her butt to the Crown Prince!

Fuck! He is going to kill me!
