The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 397 - 306: Departure (Part 2)

The system voice carried a hint of mockery, "It seems the Mad Dragon still has lingering feelings for the host~"

Her expression was complex, then quickly turned indifferent, "He doesn’t even have his memories, so lingering feelings my ass. Once he remembers, he might want to extract my soul again. Don’t forget how obsessed he was with the original host, now he just transferred that obsession to me because he’s lost his memory."

She truly thought this way.

Mael Valerius didn’t remember her, nor the original host, but the obsession remained in his body.

That obsession made him mistakenly believe he had fallen for the latter self, which led to his actions of regretfully chasing after his wife.

Once he regained his memory and recalled the causes and effects, these actions of chasing his wife might make him feel utterly disgusted.

By that time, he might hate himself even more, and desire to kill me, even to extract my soul.

The system listened to her words and couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

It knew the host’s emotional knot concerning Mael Valerius, especially given what he had done and said in the past, which were indeed unforgivable.

"Host, don’t you have a True Heart Mirror? Why not use it to reflect Mael Valerius?"

The system tentatively suggested, "This way you can discern whether the person he loves in his heart is you or the original host."

"Even if he loves me, what of it?"

Luna Sutton sneered internally, "System, you heard those words he cursed at Aerock, calling me a fake, a lonely wandering soul. He said I was enjoying his love while wearing the body of his beloved, accused me of being worthy? That look of disgust and disdain, I can’t forget to this day. Not to mention, he wanted to kill me and extract my soul."

These past hurts are like imprints left in the heart, impossible to erase.

Forgiveness or reconciliation is even more impossible.

As for whether Mael Valerius truly regrets or it was simply chasing after his wife due to temporary memory loss, she doesn’t care.

The system knew the host had a deep emotional knot with the Mad Dragon, unlikely to resolve anytime soon, and thus refrained from further persuasion.

Quickly changing the topic, "Another piece of news for the host, Pearl Vance has bound the rogue plugin and has set Caleb Manning as her target. Under the rogue plugin’s influence, Pearl Vance now harbors hostility towards you."

Her expression changed sharply; indeed, it was bound, though unsurprisingly.

Yet it was unexpected that the rogue plugin would incite Pearl Vance’s hostility toward her.

This rogue plugin was truly annoying.

"System, Chloe Callahan is dead, why hasn’t the Heavenly Dao taken back this rogue plugin?"

She asked, feeling dissatisfied within.

She didn’t care whether the rogue plugin was bound by someone, but it inciting Pearl Vance’s hostility was intolerable.

The system was also angry about this matter, speaking with a not-so-good tone, "Why else, the Heavenly Dao is dissatisfied with you and Pearl Vance killing Chloe Callahan, so it wants you to dog bite dog, both getting seriously harmed."

"Huh, what a crappy Heavenly Dao, I’m not going to play along."

Luna Sutton’s face looked extremely displeased, "Make him leave now, staying will only bring trouble."

Being too angry, this last sentence slipped out uncontrollably.

Rhys Blackwood came in holding a bowl of sliced meat and paused upon hearing her words, "Who?"

She suddenly came to her senses, quickly realizing what she had said, deciding to say, "Go tell Caleb Manning now that Chloe Callahan is dead, her body found by the Beastmen in the forest outside the Winged Tiger Tribe."

Rhys Blackwood frowned, "Chloe Callahan is dead? When did this happen?"

Outside the window, the sound of pups playing could be heard, with eight small snakes twining around three wolf cubs playing stacking games.

Kian Sterling happened to be at the door and naturally heard the entire conversation inside.

"Then all the more reason not to let him leave."

He directly lifted the curtain and entered, looking at Luna Sutton, "Don’t forget it was you who sent Caelan Phoenix and Lian Phoenix to spread the news that Chloe Callahan was carrying a mysterious treasure. Now that Chloe Callahan has died tragically, Caleb Manning may hold resentment toward you. Letting him go is like releasing a tiger back to the mountain; my advice is to kill him."

When he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice.

Fearing that Caleb Manning might suddenly come in and overhear.

Luna Sutton frowned, about to say something.

Suddenly, from outside the shelter, there came the sound of pups howling and hissing.

Soon followed by Malachi Arcanus’s cursing voice, "Caleb Manning, what’s gotten into you? Why are you suddenly rushing into the woods?"

These words were like a stone causing ripples on a calm lake.

The air inside the shelter instantly froze, Luna Sutton and the beast husbands exchanged wary glances, feeling a growing sense of foreboding.

Rhys Blackwood put the meat slices aside and was the first to rush out.

His body instantly transformed into Aethel Serpent True Form, soaring into the air, blocking Caleb Manning’s path within breaths.

His deep eyes coldly fixed on the painful expression of Caleb Manning, "Where do you think you’re going?"

Luna Sutton, Kian Sterling, Zeke Veridian, Corbin Crowley, Malachi Arcanus, Soren Phoenix, and others quickly chased after him.

Even Jago, Caelan Phoenix, Lian Phoenix, and the tribe’s Beastmen gathered around out of curiosity.

Zeke Veridian crossed his arms, laughing coldly, "What, off to die for your old flame?"

Caleb Manning’s expression was full of pain. He ignored Rhys Blackwood’s questioning and Zeke Veridian’s taunts, directly focusing his gaze on Luna Sutton in the crowd, her abdomen slightly swollen, "Chloe... she’s dead, I have to find her, collect her body, and give her a proper burial."

Though he had long been disappointed in Chloe Callahan and had fallen in love with Luna Sutton,

He was still extremely angry and upset upon hearing that Chloe Callahan had died tragically in the forest outside the Winged Tiger Tribe.

But the person responsible for Chloe Callahan’s demise was Luna Sutton, though she wasn’t directly involved, there was an inevitable connection.

One was a past love, the other a present beloved.

The feeling was as if his heart was being torn into pieces.

Making him feel pain, distress, anger, and confusion, not knowing what to do.

Nor did he know how to face Luna Sutton next, or whether he could continue to protect her as if nothing happened.

Seeing Caleb Manning in such pain, Luna Sutton’s anger gradually subsided, her expression complex.

No matter what Chloe Callahan had done, she was Caleb Manning’s former companion, and such feelings are not easily severed.

"Go then."

She softly said, "If you’re willing, you can stay at the Winged Tiger Tribe, no need to come back."

Caleb Manning was stunned, clearly not expecting Luna Sutton to say that. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

He moved his lips, but nothing came out, just giving her a deep look before transforming into the White Tiger and hastily leaving.

Unable to kill Luna Sutton to avenge Chloe Callahan, leaving might be the best choice.
