The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 350 - 279: Confession

Kian Sterling’s silence was like a dull knife, slowly grinding away at her heart.

She lowered her eyelashes, about to let go of his hand, but he suddenly grasped her wrist. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Luna."

Kian Sterling’s voice was a bit hoarse, his usually smiling fox eyes now dark and repressed, as if holding something back, "Then tell me, who are you really?"

Luna Sutton’s heart skipped a beat; Kian had asked her this question before at the hot spring at the bottom of the cliff, but she had brushed it off at the time.

Her gaze flickered slightly, and she instinctively said, "I am Luna Sutton."

"Perhaps you are Luna Sutton, indeed."

Kian Sterling stared into her eyes, enunciating, "But this Luna Sutton is not the same as that Luna Sutton."

Her heart was shaken to the core, her back instantly tense, with an unprecedented sense of panic inside.

Had she been seen through? Did he know she wasn’t the original?

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said ’this Luna Sutton is not that Luna Sutton.’

She couldn’t gauge Kian Sterling’s thoughts and didn’t dare to speak carelessly.

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand."

Luna Sutton feigned calmness, trying to withdraw her hand, but he held on even tighter.

"Don’t understand?"

Kian Sterling chuckled lightly, but there was no hint of humor in his eyes, "Throughout The Beast World Continent, whether in Aetheria or The Lower Domain, you are the only female to awaken supernatural abilities, and your speed in advancing through the ranks has been unbelievably fast. In just half a year, you’ve gone from the first rank to the Seventh Rank Peak. Luna, don’t you think that’s abnormal?"

He stared at her intensely nervous face, continuing to pry, "You recognize many things we are unfamiliar with and can make all sorts of gourmet foods and products that are both intricate and incredibly useful. The Wolf Tribe never eats bird food, nor do they know how to process it, and of course, they aren’t aware of the uses of ore. And those grain threshers, threshing tools, as well as the bath lotions, soaps, toothbrushes, and kitchen knives you use—none of that exists in this world."

"That was the work of the Beast God..."

"The Beast God?"

He interrupted her, his gaze piercing her soul, "Luna, you always use the Beast God as an excuse, but the Beast God would not arbitrarily bestow so many things on a female. Even if you are exceptionally gifted, the most the Beast God would do is teach you some knowledge in dreams to improve the tribe, not grant you those strange yet highly useful items."

Luna Sutton’s fingertips trembled slightly.

She knew Kian Sterling was smart, but she didn’t expect he had suspected her long ago, only keeping it to himself.

No wonder his favorability toward her had never increased.

If she hadn’t risked her life to shield him from a fatal blow while pregnant, Kian’s favorability toward her would never have reached 90.

Cold sweat broke out on her back, her hands clenching tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She should have seen this coming.

Kian Sterling was deeply strategic, incredibly intelligent, extraordinarily cautious in his dealings, essentially the most cunning presence in the Beast World.

The term ’old fox’ fit him perfectly.

Those excuses she had previously used to muddle through likely appeared full of holes in his eyes.

She then thought of Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Zeke Veridian, Malachi Arcanus, Mael Valerius, and Soren Phoenix.

Except for Malachi Arcanus who was a bit oblivious, each was smarter than the last, and they probably harbored suspicions as well, only they hadn’t spoken out.

Mael Valerius was affected by the identity conversion card she used, and with a favorability of a hundred percent, he naturally believed unconditionally that she was the original.

Corbin Crowley and Zeke Veridian might also suspect something, but perhaps they didn’t care about such matters.

What about Rhys Blackwood?

His favorability had remained at 90 without increasing; could this be the reason?

Luna Sutton’s heart suddenly skipped.

Rhys Blackwood was always silent, but those pitch-black eyes always seemed to see through her.

She suddenly recalled the look in his eyes when she first took out a kitchen knife—scrutiny.

Only back then, she didn’t take it to heart.

What about Lyle Sutton, the Priest, and everyone in The Wolf Tribe—did they suspect her too?

Or had everyone long seen through her facade?

But because she knew so much, able to lead The Wolf Tribe into becoming stronger, they all tacitly pretended as if they didn’t know?

Or were they all genuinely that superstitious about the Beast God?

If the latter was true, it was fine, but if the former...

She dared not think further, the more she thought, the more flustered and frightened she became.

Kian Sterling observed her flustered demeanor, having a pretty clear idea in his heart.

Initially just a suspicion, now confirmation.

If he was right, Luna’s soul should be from a high-level advanced world.

Perhaps she even had some special treasure on her.

A treasure that could make things appear out of thin air.
