Tang Yue's long forked tongue danced around her sharp fang, and then licked her thin parted lips, as she continued staring at her status.

Apart from her mysterious Evolution ability, another thing also stood out on the translucent blue screen.

Her poison resistance was already Level 6!!

The only way she could even begin to understand this anomaly was through her Evolution skill.

"Hmmm... So the poison attack on my carriage ride, not only triggered my innate evolution ability but also boosted my poison resistance?" Tang Yue probed the system.

As if it was unnecessary to answer such an obvious question, the system remained silent.

Tang Yue sighed and assumed that she was indeed correct.

No matter how many ways she pondered about it, that was the only conclusion she could arrive at.

Her eyes then gazed at the other details on the screen. Since nothing else was peculiar, she flicked it close and opened the blinking quest screen.

<New Quest Available: Increase your poison resistance by 1 Level>

<Reward: 5 Experience Points>

"So my current poison resistance is at Level 6 and I need to increase it to Level 7 to finish the quest. Interesting." Tang Yue nodded finally understanding the context of the quest.

"But what are these experience points?"

[Every time you finish a quest you will receive this as a reward and collecting enough experience points can make you stronger and unlock your hidden potential.]

Tang Yue nodded. She somewhat understood this system.

So she currently was at Level 0 and gathering 200 experience points could bump her up to Level 1.

She gasped at the realization of how useful and unique this whole thing was.

Now that she had the help of such a mysterious entity and her special Evolution skill, she was determined more than ever to climb her way in this cruel bloodthirsty world.

Then realizing something, she suddenly asked, "What happens if I fail one of these quests?"

[Failing 3 times will result in the loss of this system. I don't want to be associated with losers.]

Tang Yue rolled her eyes at the brutal answer but nodded in silence.

This was her second chance. She would definitely give it her all and finish all the quests.

She didn't want to lose this priceless albeit weird heritage just yet.

"Hmm… Now, how do I increase my poison resistance?" Tang Yue's mind circled back to the quest at hand.

"Just eating something poisonous would work?"

She guessed that as a solution since that was how she evolved in the first place.

Tang Yue waited, but she didn't get any response from the system. It seemed like the esteemed master only answered her sometimes.

Shrugging her shoulders, she decided to try out this method anyway.

As she was thinking about where could she possibly find something poisonous to snack on, her cold piercing eyes immediately fell on the gift basket of fruits lying nearby.

"Heh? What are the chances that these are actually poisoned?"

Tang Yue chuckled mischievously and grabbed the basket.

And just as she had thought, the breathtakingly enchanting Charlotte did not disappoint her.

As soon as she took a bite out of a yellow colored juicy fruit, the nasal voice promptly sounded in her mind.

Ding. A poisonous object has been consumed.

Ding. Poison Resistance has increased.

Tang Yue's cold eyes glinted as she smiled and casually gobbled up one fruit after another.

It looked like the queen consort Charlotte didn't disappoint her after all. Each and every fruit in the damned basket was poisoned!!

Ding. A poisonous object has been consumed.

Ding. Poison Resistance has increased.

Ding. A poisonous object has been consumed.

Ding. Poison Resistance has increased.

"Why did the queen consort, whose status is already well established in the palace, go to such lengths and play cheap tricks on me?"

"Is the woman still not satisfied even after being the queen consort??" Tang Yue's mind wandered as she spat out the seeds and put the next fruit in.

She didn't really feel bad though.

She was already used to this kind of treatment from her stepmother and her stepsisters, and sometimes even her father.

When you are weak literally everyone steps on you!

In this world, where cultivation is everything, someone like her who had her meridians crushed could only bid her time and bear with the insults.

But not anymore...
