The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 420 - 319: Purification (Part 2)

Soren Phoenix’s mouth twitched, and he immediately used a feather fan to cover his eyes, almost unable to bear watching.

Yet the words from his mouth were extremely provoking: "Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity, now he’s turned into a bald fox, so ugly～"

The schadenfreude fell into Kian Sterling’s ears, a shadow flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he masked it well.

Malachi Arcanus was dead set on plucking all ten tail feathers from Kian Sterling today.

The third, fourth, fifth...

With the plucking of each, Kian Sterling’s screams echoed through the abyss, his voice going hoarse.

He had never been so disheveled, nor imagined that one day he would end up like this.

Utter humiliation.

Soren Phoenix looked at Kian with sympathy, completely losing the thought of mocking him.

Feeling that it was enough.

With a wave of the feather fan in his hand, he sent Kian Sterling, now missing five tail feathers, into the magma river.

"What do you mean by this, flamboyant phoenix?"

Malachi Arcanus instantly grew angry, turning to look at Soren.

Soren Phoenix was completely unfazed by the other’s anger, smiling mischievously, "What’s the point of continuously plucking feathers? Let’s play something exciting, how about letting him soak in there?"

He hadn’t forgotten Luna’s words, to watch Kian soaking in the magma to purify the Demon Gu within.

Malachi looked at Kian Sterling floating in the magma, instantly transforming back into a human, becoming handsome and charming again.

However, on his face was a disdainful expression: "Flamboyant phoenix, you really play the good guy."

Soren Phoenix shook his feather fan, his peach blossom eyes flashing cunningly: "Oh dear, it’s just that I’m afraid you’ll pluck him bald and Luna would disdain him."

Kian Sterling writhed in agony within the magma, his androgynous face twisted and deformed, all ten tails burned black.

Especially those five tails that Malachi had plucked bald, unbearably pitiful.

"Hmph, really a bargain for this old fox."

Malachi Arcanus squatted by the riverbank, coldly stated to the Kian Sterling in the magma river: "The Mad Dragon soaked in the magma for half a day, all the dragon scales rotted away, so you need to stay inside for half a day, not a minute less."

Upon hearing that his cousin had been in the magma pond for half a day, even the dragon scales rotting off, Soren Phoenix’s heart instantly ached.

Just as he was about to inquire about Mael Valerius’s situation.

Suddenly, the entire abyss shook violently.

The magma pool boiled and surged, a golden light pierced through the sky.

"Whoosh—"

The Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon moved with incredible speed, arriving before the three in an instant, the dragon’s might caused both Malachi and Soren to simultaneously retreat several paces.

Mael Valerius transformed into a human form upon landing, his dark golden eyes turning into brilliant gold, with faint spatial fluctuations surrounding him.

"Cousin?"

Soren Phoenix’s peach blossom eyes widened, "You’ve evolved into the Umbral Netherwyrm?"

Mael Valerius ignored him, his gaze locked tightly onto Kian Sterling in the magma pool, murderous intent surged instantly: "Seeking death!"

A golden dragon claw slammed towards Kian Sterling, if hit, he would surely die.

"Stop!"

Soren Phoenix’s Fiery Red Feather Robe fluttered, quickly intervening: "Cousin, he’s afflicted by the Demon Gu!"

Both Malachi and Mael Valerius were taken aback simultaneously.

Malachi wasn’t aware that there was a Demon Gu within Kian Sterling even till now.

Kian Sterling had explained, but he didn’t believe.

Mael Valerius narrowed his golden eyes: "Demon Gu?"

"That’s right."

Soren Phoenix quickly explained, "The thing can infinitely amplify the darkness and malevolence in one’s heart. The old fox was affected by the Demon Gu, that’s why he took action against you, Luna said soaking in magma can purify the Demon Gu..."

Malachi’s expression became complex, so the old fox really was afflicted by the Demon Gu.

Learning the other was influenced by the Demon Gu, his resentment dissipated a lot.

But he still showed no good face.

The Demon Gu merely magnified the old fox’s malevolent thoughts, which meant there was a thought in his heart of wanting to kill him.

"Ha."

Mael Valerius coldly laughed, "I don’t care about any Gu."

Dare to plot against him, simply seeking death.

He raised his hand, intending to attack again.

The magma pool suddenly parted, Kian Sterling emerged, completely charred, all ten tails drooping bare, yet he strangely smiled: "Kill me, and you can forget reconciliation with Luna forever."

Mael Valerius’s face darkened, his golden eyes staring intently at Kian Sterling, as if to bore a hole through him.

Kian Sterling was unafraid, even slightly curling his lips in a provocative manner.

Soren Phoenix, seeing this, quickly mediated: "Ah, enough enough, the old fox has been terribly dealt with by Malachi, he’s also influenced by the Demon Gu, let’s leave it be."

Although speaking for Kian Sterling, he subtly tugged on Mael Valerius’s sleeve.

Then leaned closer, whispered in his ear with a voice only the two could hear: "Cousin, the most important thing now is getting Luna’s forgiveness, to become her sixth Beast Husband again, why dwell on these matters?"

Upon hearing, Mael Valerius’s murderous intent instantly subsided, and the fury in his golden eyes gradually calmed.

He coldly glanced at Kian Sterling, his dark golden eyes flashing with danger, coldly warning: "I’ll let you off this time, if there’s a next time, I’ll devour you whole, bones and all."

Kian Sterling’s expression frowned, naturally aware of Mael Valerius’s madness.

If he dared to do anything more, not to mention devouring him whole, not even ashes would remain.

The Mad Dragon couldn’t be underestimated.

He said nothing more, simply soaked quietly in the magma river, wisps of dark energy emitted from his head.

Soren, Mael Valerius, and Malachi were all surprised, knowing that dark energy was likely the Demon Gu, without knowing who planted it.

The old fox hadn’t even realized, and neither had they.

Not long after, Corbin Crowley with Caelan Phoenix and Lian Phoenix found their way here.

Upon seeing Corbin Crowley and company appear, Mael Valerius and Malachi instantly knew they came seeking them, each with different thoughts.

Corbin Crowley didn’t pay them any mind, his silver eyes first locking onto Kian soaking in the magma river.

"Kian Sterling."

Corbin Crowley’s voice was as cold as polar ice, "The Tyrannosaur in the northern valley, was it orchestrated by you too?"

As the Demon Gu in his body was purified, Kian Sterling gradually regained sanity.

Though his heart still held some dark thoughts, it wasn’t as apparent as before.

Upon hearing Corbin’s questioning, a rare expression of guilt emerged, sincerely: "Yes... but in my body..."

"Demon Gu."

Corbin interrupted him; he had already learned this from Luna.

If not for the Demon Gu, Kian Sterling might already have become a corpse.

He turned to Mael Valerius, "Thank you."

Whether it was the morning’s deliberate reminder from the northern valley or sacrificing himself to save Malachi, it was worth thanking.

A simple two words left everyone stunned.

Prideful as Corbin Crowley, when had he ever thanked anyone?

Mael Valerius sneered: "No need, I did it for Luna."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Corbin Crowley’s face instantly turned cold, no longer engaging with him.
