The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 345 - 276: Absurd

Caelan Phoenix and the others waited for a long time, confirming Caleb Manning had really left before daring to come out.

"This Caleb Manning, he’s really strange today."

Jago patted the dirt off his clothes, muttering.

Lian Phoenix looked thoughtfully in the direction Caleb Manning disappeared, frowning, "He seems to be in pain."

"Pain?"

Caelan Phoenix dismissed it, "What’s he in pain about? Could it be he discovered Chloe Callahan flirting with several Beastmen, and lost his mind?"

Speaking of this, Jago felt extremely speechless: "Caleb Manning risked his life to save her, willing to sacrifice everything. I don’t understand what’s good about Chloe Callahan, she’s so poisonous and wicked, not even comparable to a strand of the master’s hair."

Lian Phoenix didn’t speak, silently continuing to dig in the mines.

He always felt that Caleb Manning’s pain wasn’t just because of Chloe Callahan, there seemed to be other reasons.

But he couldn’t quite pinpoint what those reasons were.

Then he continued digging in the mines.

Caelan Phoenix and Lian Phoenix’s movements were extremely secretive, and since it was late at night, even though the mining site was close to The Winged Tiger Tribe, no one noticed.

...

Night fell over Aerock, stars twinkling.

Luna Sutton and Soren Phoenix had long finished, their clothes disheveled, climbing up the hill, intending to return to the mining site.

They bumped into Corbin Crowley who came looking.

The man’s gaze instantly fell on Luna Sutton, seeing her face flushed, clothes in disarray.

How could he not understand what these two had done?

The ice crystal on his brow instantly solidified, the surrounding temperature plummeting.

Not seen all afternoon, leaving him anxious, only to hide away here enjoying themselves.

The cold air surged around Corbin Crowley, his silver eyes staring heavily at Luna Sutton, "Was it fun?"

Last night everyone was a bit out of control, Luna ended up extremely miserable, it would take about three to five days to recuperate.

Yet it was barely half a day, and she’s rolling around in the grass with Soren Phoenix.

Is she risking her life, or can’t stand being away from a male for a moment?

The angrier he thought, the angrier he got.

Because he was so furious, he completely forgot Luna Sutton had a Wood Element Ability, and could tend to her body herself, she was already fine.

Luna Sutton instinctively gathered her collar, as the Wood Element Ability circulated, erasing all traces from around her body.

"Just last night... your body hasn’t healed yet, how can you endure it?"

Corbin Crowley stared at her like that, his voice cold and cutting.

Then his gaze, sharp as a knife, sliced towards Soren Phoenix, "This is how you take care of her?"

Soren Phoenix lazily adjusted his lapel, his pretty peach blossom eyes flickering with satisfaction: "Luna has the Wood Element Ability, she’s already recovered."

He deliberately licked the corner of his lips, "Besides... Luna quite enjoyed it."

"You..."

Corbin Crowley’s forehead pulses with veins, ice crystals in his palm forming into sharp ice spikes, but considering Luna’s presence, they dissipate just as quickly.

His silver eyes narrowed slightly, looking indifferently at Soren Phoenix, "Luna’s had too many activities lately, her vitality’s depleted, she should take a good rest for a while."

"As long as you know."

Soren Phoenix slowly tidied his messy black hair, replied leisurely.

He glanced at Luna Sutton, his beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with tenderness: "Luna, our Phoenix Clan has excellent tonics for replenishing vitality, I’ll have Beastmen fetch them for you."

Luna Sutton was about to say she didn’t need them.

When Corbin Crowley coldly spoke: "If you really care about Luna’s health, you should curb your behavior, instead of hiding in the grass today despite last night’s wild state."

Perhaps because he was Luna’s first Beast Husband, he instinctively believed Luna belonged to him.

As for the other six, they were all vermin vying for a mate with him.

"I heard last time Luna was in heat, you monopolized her at Cliffbottom Salt Lake for five or six days, ravaging her until dawn, how come you didn’t consider Luna’s health then?"

Soren Phoenix’s peach blossom eyes flashed with ridicule, immediately retorting.

Corbin Crowley’s expression stiffened, his thin lips pressed into a line, silent.

Soren Phoenix was right, during last heat, he indeed monopolized Luna for several days, tangling all night until dawn.

At the time, he was first tasting the pleasures, completely unable to stop.

Only wanting to spend a bit more time with Luna, a bit more time.

Completely forgetting her body couldn’t handle it.

"That’s still better than someone barely a few hours apart..."

Before Corbin Crowley could finish speaking, Luna Sutton couldn’t take it anymore.

She raised her voice and interrupted, "Are you guys done yet? Must you speak of such things openly? Haven’t you considered my feelings."

Listening to their childish and frivolous words, even with a good temper it was hard to bear.

She didn’t bother with the two men’s jealous antics: "It’s dark out, if we don’t return, are you planning to stay here overnight?"

Corbin Crowley and Soren Phoenix simultaneously fell silent, silver eyes and peach blossom eyes met for a moment, then each turned away.

"Back to camp."

Without a word, Corbin Crowley carried Luna Sutton crosswise in his arms.

Soren Phoenix’s Fiery Red Feather Robe fluttered in the night wind, his fingertips ignited with Phoenix True Fire to light the mountain path: "Luna, are you hungry? I’ll go hunting for you..."

"If you go hunting now, Luna would starve to death."

Corbin Crowley abruptly interrupted, carrying Luna Sutton back quickly.

Luna Sutton, helplessly cradled in Corbin Crowley’s arms, suddenly heard the system’s voice: "Host, Caleb Manning has fallen in love with you."

She nearly choked on the sudden voice.

Caleb Manning loves her? How could that be?

Caleb is passionately in love with Chloe Callahan, willing to give his life; how could he possibly fall for another woman?

Isn’t this nonsense?

She secretly rolled her eyes: "System, you must have a virus, right? Caleb’s love for Chloe Callahan is as steadfast as the saying ’Mountains crumble, heavens unite, daring to part with you’; how could he fall for me?"

She internally refused to believe it.

"Host, Caleb’s heart is already beating for you; his feelings have uncontrollably leaned towards you—this is an unchangeable fact."

The system’s teasing voice carried a hint of seriousness, "Moreover, it detected Caleb’s current favorability towards the host is 90, surpassing Chloe Callahan’s 85, even higher than Soren Phoenix’s 85, and on par with Rhys Blackwood and Kian Sterling’s 90 favorability."

Luna Sutton was so surprised she nearly fell out of Corbin Crowley’s embrace.

This is even more outrageous than Chloe Callahan suddenly dropping dead.

"What’s wrong?"

Corbin tightened his arm, a hint of tension flashed in his silver eyes.

"Nothing..."

She suppressed her shock.

In her mind, the system continued its chatter: "Host, you don’t know, Chloe Callahan begged Caleb to kill you, Caleb angrily refused, the two had a big fight, and that’s when he realized his feelings for the host; now he’s wandering around like a lost soul, battling internally."

She almost burst into laughter.

What’s this? A prodigal’s return?

Or driven mad by Chloe Callahan’s antics?

Corbin sensed her body trembling slightly, his silver eyes lightly lowered: "Cold?"

"Not cold."

She naturally wrapped her arms around Corbin’s neck, her peripheral vision catching the Phoenix True Fire in Soren Phoenix’s fingertips illuminating the entire hillside.

Soon, they arrived at the mining site.

By now, a blazing bonfire was already set up here.

Corbin gently placed Luna Sutton on the ground.

Kian Sterling emerged from the shadows, his gentle voice carrying a hint of the night’s chill: "Why are you back only now?"

As he approached Luna Sutton, he instantly frowned.

The scent of a female’s heat mixed with the unique Phoenix essence.

His beautiful fox eyes dangerously narrowed, subtly scanning Soren Phoenix who followed closely: "Seems like someone snuck a taste."

"What nonsense are you talking!"

Luna Sutton’s face instantly flushed red; though inwardly she pondered, this old fox’s nose is quite sharp.

The traces on her body had all been cleaned, yet he could still sense it.

Rhys Blackwood appeared quietly at some point, his black snakeskin coat covered in mining dust.

Expressionless, he tossed over a robe just right to cover Luna Sutton: "Chill of the night, you’ll be warmer with this."

She didn’t refuse, instinctively gathering the robe around her: "How are the red iron ore and Malachite mining going?"

Intentionally changing the topic, lest everyone focus on Soren Phoenix’s sneaking a taste.

Kian, hearing her words, indeed shifted his attention immediately, smiled faintly, "We dug twenty-five baskets of red iron ore and thirty baskets of Malachite, and already sent Finn Arcanus and Yuri Ashwood with the Beastman to transport them back first, and asked them to bring back more empty vine baskets and backpacks."

Luna Sutton detected his hidden meaning and asked in confusion: "Are we not going back tonight?"

"Traveling back and forth takes too much time; it’s better to stay here and mine. After all, we can rest anytime, anywhere; it’s just hard for you, Luna."

Kian Sterling always considered every detail in his actions.

Returning to the tribal camp wouldn’t provide better conditions; the houses aren’t even built yet.

There’s really no need to go back; might as well finish mining before returning.

Avoid the hassle of back and forth travel.

She pondered a bit, thinking Kian’s suggestion was reasonable, and didn’t say more.

Soren Phoenix flicked a bunch of True Fire from his fingertips, roasting game by the bonfire.

This was a wild rhino Malachi Arcanus hunted, already gutted and cleaned.

Soren directly sliced off a piece, skewered it on a stick to roast, sizzling with juicy oils, soon emitting bursts of meaty aroma.

Then he smiled and offered it to her, "Luna, try this meat I roasted."

Luna Sutton didn’t hold back, accepted it with a smile, finding it a bit hot, gently blew on it, then started eating in small bites.

Discovering Soren Phoenix’s cooking skills weren’t bad at all, crisp outside, tender inside, the texture was excellent, she praised sincerely: "It’s delicious."

Soren beamed at the praise, his peach-shaped eyes shining brilliantly: "If Luna likes it, I’ll roast it for you every day."

Corbin Crowley’s face darkened instantly, his silver eyes glacially fixed on the roasted meat in Luna Sutton’s hand.

Then he turned around, left silently.

Luna Sutton didn’t even have time to call him; he had already vanished into the darkness.

She sighed helplessly, feeling recently all the Beast Husbands had become increasingly childish.

Kian and Rhys exchanged a glance, something flashed in both their eyes.

But they didn’t say more.

Luna Sutton ate a couple more bites of the roasted meat, felt a bit greasy, and handed it to Malachi Arcanus beside her: "You have it."

Malachi didn’t hesitate, took the roasted meat, and ate heartily, not minding the saliva.

To him, Luna’s saliva was something others couldn’t even wish for.

Luna Sutton was about to get up and wash her hands when she suddenly noticed Zeke Veridian sitting alone on a distant rock, his emerald green eyes reflecting the firelight, aloof and icy.

Since she returned, he hadn’t said a word.

"Zeke?"

She walked over, lightly patted his shoulder with her fingertip.

Zeke didn’t lift his head, using Wind Blade to whittle the stick in his hand: "Do you know how fierce last night was? Today you let Phoenix sneak a taste, risking your life?"

One could instantly hear his anger.
