Chapter 224: Who is the third wheel? Part3

The three followed by Little Blue roamed in Kuji village for a little while.

The village had almost nothing when compared to the royal city, hence they simply bought a carriage and a pair of tamed bristle wolves for lugging the carriage around, before returning to the campsite again.

The dwarves had also started packing their things up and settling their carriages, so the timing was perfect.

Charlotte had experience in guiding bristle wolf carriages and since she was playing the role of a slave currently, she took over the riding duties and helped set up the carriage along with the others.

Tang Yue, however, was still nervous. It was like watching a ticking bomb. She didn’t know when Charlotte was going to explode.

She still couldn’t believe how the arrogant prideful elf was being so meek and gentle. 

A couple of dwarves even shouted something at her and she didn’t even flinch. She quietly apologized and continued with the work. 

She patiently fed the wolves, tightened the reins, made sure the rune was still intact, and even dusted the beddings on the carriage.

As Tang Yue nervously watched the elf busying herself, the carriage in front of theirs opened and Barton waved her over.

Tang Yue flashed a small smile in response and walked over to the dwarf. Little Blue and the boy were still with her and they followed her.

When she reached near the carriage, she could also see Zinya sitting together with the dwarf. 

Her robes were slightly disheveled, revealing quite a bit of her chest and her hair was a mess. 

“Ha Ha. Look at me. I am a complete mess. I napped for so long.” The girl chuckled awkwardly with a hue of innocence.

“Yes, it is a nice weather.” Tang Yue smiled but it was not too difficult to guess what had really happened.

In fact, right in front of her eyes, Barton pulled his other hand out from underneath her robe in between her well-toned long legs.

He then directly extended that hand as if he was intending to help Tang Yue get on the carriage.

Disgusting! Tang Yue cringed inwardly. She knew exactly where that hand had been.

But what she didn’t quite understand was why these two behaved in such a manner and did little to hide their shenanigans.

Did they get a kick out of cheating right in front of her? Tang Yue chuckled.

Zinya as well chimed in, looking a bit hesitant. 

“Umm… Then I will leave you both alone. I don’t want to be the third wheel. Ha Ha.” She mumbled, but she showed no signs of getting out. 

It was very clear that she expected Yana to reject her offer and insist that she as well come along for the ride. 

What a nuisance! Who is the third wheel here! Tang Yue did not have any extra space in her brain for this random drama. 

She sighed rubbing her temples and took a step away from the disgusting hand. 

“I am not feeling that well and I want to rest a little bit before we get back home. I will just follow you both in that carriage.” She pointed to the one in the back and nodded with a smile.

“Ah… Don’t worry Yana. I will help brother Barton if he needs something.” Zinya kindly offered again, but several emotions swirled in her eyes.

“Thanks, sister. That will be a great help.” Tang Yue smiled and walked away. She didn’t want to linger there any longer.

This was not her problem and it didn’t concern her. It looked like the identity she had assumed was that of a dull dud. 

How did this Yana girl not even catch something so obvious?

Tang Yue shook her head helplessly and walked away feeling pity for the original Yana.

She quickly got up onto her carriage and closed the blinds. 

The little kid and the wolf also settled comfortably inside, but seeing that the kid was clutching the carriage rather tightly, Charlotte turned around and shouted, “Are you trying to break this carriage?”

The kid turned around and gave her a deathly glare, making Charlotte shut up immediately.

“What the hell? Why am I being afraid of a small kid?” Charlotte grumbled and turned around. 

She didn’t want to start an ugly fight with the damned kid right in front of Tang Yue. 

The kid will escape scot-free and in the end, only her reputation in front of Tang Yue will be ruined further.

A  couple more hours passed in silence and the row of carriages soon started moving in a single file.

The dwarven empire was located in the south of the Eldorian empire and the entire journey was around 3 to 4 days by carriage. 

They were only going to be crossing a bunch of villages and cities and small stretches of domesticated forests in between, so the journey was nothing out of ordinary.

Tang Yue crossed her legs and closed her eyes, and used this time to silently cultivate her fire essence core.

The jade slip that Xander had given her mentioned that she was able to cultivate and the disguise rune would still be able to cover that.

Her cultivation base and her body tempering were severely lacking compared to her mental strength and soul strength. 

While she still had to look for appropriate methods to condition her physical body, improving her cultivation base was much more straightforward.

So Tang Yue did not idle around and started working hard. 

The little kid who was busily playing with the wolf cub till now, by fiddling with its ears immediately glanced at her with a doting affectionate look on his face.

This woman was always working hard! He smiled gently, revealing a warm and sunny facade.

If Xavier had seen him now, he would have keeled over on the ground in shock. 

The cold-blooded tyrant being all warm and cuddly?!! Such a thing was too ridiculous to even simply picture in one’s mind!!
