章節 42: Money grows on beautiful female elves Part3

With her purse as heavy as her current figure, Tang Yue, along with Lotte, happily waltzed over to the market sector for a shopping spree.

Even though she was already used to this sight of chaos, the chubby snake woman was still amazed at the bustling market.

Different races scurried about here and there. Several wares were being peddled.

The auction house was even announcing a special auctioning event with parchments stuck everywhere explaining the details of the auction.

Tang Yue took one look at the auction notice and her eyes bulged in surprise.

A single strength-enhancing pill was going for 2 gems. A constitution improving and body-tempering potion was going for 3 gems.

The money in her hand suddenly seemed very less!

Tang Yue shrugged her shoulders and continued walking. There was no point in drooling over these things since she hasn't even passed the first exam for alchemy disciples.

She quickened her pace and headed over to the beast chop shops, where different grades and diverse exotic beast meat were being sold by the pounds.

Since she had donned her royal robes, as soon as she entered, Tang Yue attracted the attention of several vendors.

It was not a secret that the elven royals were the wealthiest population in the settlement.

Any purchase from the royal palace would probably empty out their entire wares, and their jobs would become much simpler.

So many of the vendors started eagerly welcoming her and offering their day's specials.

Tang Yue was not used to this attention, but the snake steeled her nerves and approached the nearest chop shop.

She then asked with confidence. "I am looking for Fire twin-tailed birds, 6 or 7 of them would suffice."

Huh? The vendor looked at her in confusion.

"Is there a problem?" Tang Yue looked at the various portions of beast meat neatly arranged and her eyes searched for the familiar white meat with yellowish-orange streaks.

"Sorry, your highness. But did you mean Fire twin-headed bird?" The vendor reluctantly asked.

"No. I meant Fire twin-tailed bird." Tang Yue reiterated not quite understanding what the confusion was.

"Ah. Your highness, they are just low-grade beasts."

"We have several portions of mid-grade beast meat that have freshly arrived today. All the delicacies made from mid-grade beasts are extremely flavourful."

The vendor elf didn't give up and tried to sweet-talk Tang Yue into buying more expensive wares.

But, Tang Yue could only helplessly reject the poor guy. "Maybe later. For now, bring me 8 fire twin-tailed bird, preferably untouched and uncut."

Seeing that the royal consort had her eyes set on the damned bird, the vendor finally gave up.

"Of course, your highness. I will bring them right away. You have come to the right shop. Only ten birds arrived today and our shop has all of them."

Just as the vendor was about to leave, another voice loudly sounded from behind them.

"Hold up. Bring her highness some other meat. I need those ten fire twin-tailed birds." A short chubby elf walked towards Tang Yue and the vendor.

The elf was adorned in royal robes as well, and unlike Tang Yue, his arrogant and haughty demeanor matched the obnoxity of the robes.

"Huh?" Tang Yue was slightly annoyed. She hated things being decided for her without her consent.

She raised her eyebrows questioningly and looked at the chubby elf smiling standing in front of her.

"No, but thanks. I will be taking the 10 fire twin-tailed birds."

The chubby elf's smile instantly disappeared and he slightly frowned.

Others might not know the standing of the royal consorts in the palace hierarchy, but he was well aware of just how low Tang Yue's actually standing was.

No matter how threatening her tone was, he still held the upper hand in this situation.

The chubby elf sneered and sarcastically bowed to the princess. "Greetings, beautiful princess. I am Marvin, the royal alchemy grandmaster's only son."

"I need these birds for an important reason. So I hope your highness can give me some face and let me purchase them this time."

Immediately gasps echoed from around them. Everyone knew that there were only three alchemy grandmasters in the entire elven province.

One was the crown prince and the other two belonged to noble families as well. So the outcome of this small argument was already clear to the spectators.

The nobles always get what they want!

The poor vendor scratched his head and looked at his two high-profile customers in confusion. He didn't want to get caught in the middle of a royal squabble.

And why the heck were they even arguing over a low-grade fire twin-tailed bird?!!! I have other higher grade beasts damn it!!! He cried inside.
