The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 442 - 330: Extravagant Wealth (Part 2)

Now he stood here, looking more like an eavesdropping outsider.

Since returning from the Godsbane Mountains, although Luna said she forgave him on the surface, her attitude toward him was clearly not as warm as before, becoming much more indifferent and distant, unlike the close relationship they once had.

Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Soren Phoenix, Malachi Arcanus—they didn’t treat him like air, but were also cold in attitude.

They basically wouldn’t speak to him unless there was something to discuss.

They were all on guard against him in their hearts.

It’s Zeke Veridian who would occasionally throw jabs at him, though extremely harsh, he ironically became the only one in this family willing to speak to him.

It’s truly ironic to say the least.

But he understood that what he did, plotting against Malachi Arcanus, Mael Valerius, and Corbin Crowley, were things he deserved.

He was able to successfully stay in this family and even had a daughter, Zora; heaven had not treated him poorly.

Who was he to ask for more? But his heart was still unwell.

He didn’t stand there listening for long; guessing that Zora inside the room might have awoken, he returned inside.

In the Beast World, there’s no such concept as postpartum confinement.

Luna Sutton spent her days lying in her room, even eating there, which quickly became the gossip among a few chatty females in the tribe.

By the lakeside, some females were washing animal skins, pottery, or wild vegetables.

As they washed, they couldn’t help but gossip about Luna Sutton.

"I heard Luna Sutton gave birth to cubs but doesn’t even feed them, poor things drink only beast milk."

"Exactly, lying in bed all day, doesn’t even get up, all her needs are attended by her beast husbands. If she weren’t blessed by The Beast God and stunning, who could tolerate such a lazy female?"

"She was always lazy, then pretended for a while, now she’s stopped pretending and became even more pretentious."

....

The females whispered among themselves until a sharp-eyed one noticed Rhys Blackwood passing by with a basket and instantly went silent, no longer daring to gossip.

Rhys Blackwood’s expression was icy, his footsteps didn’t falter; however, those gossiping females found their partners severely reprimanded by Rhys Blackwood for failing to manage their chatty partners.

The males who were punished dared not retaliate against Rhys Blackwood, but going home, naturally vented their frustrations on their females, resulting in chaos and inevitable quarrels.

Those females were warned by their partners, some even beaten, told not to spread rumors, or else...

For a while, no one in the tribe dared gossip about Luna Sutton anymore.

The chatty females also calmed down, not daring to speak carelessly, though what was on their minds was unknown.

Luna Sutton heard about it but didn’t let it bother her; they were mere insignificant people.

Now, besides lying in her room postpartum, she used Wood Element Ability to nurture the Phoenix Egg and Dragon Egg, just the inability to wash her hair was troublesome.

She felt she was starting to stink, finally couldn’t endure any longer, and secretly snuck into space to wash.

...

She had just emerged refreshed from space, nearly blinded by a brilliant glow.

Every empty place in her room, the tables, the floor, the bed, was piled into small mountains, all kinds of shimmering lights, and treasures:

She was so dazzled by the treasure light filling the room that she couldn’t open her eyes, her fingers instinctively shielded them, and through the gaps, she saw—

Fist-sized Deep Sea Night Pearls scattered on the bed, emitting a gentle light, enough to fill a large box, at least seven or eight pieces.

Thousand-year-old Blood Coral in the corner emitted a dark red glow, covered in flame-shaped Crystal Stones.

The Purple Crystal Jade Marrow sculpted into twin lotus on the table sparkled with brilliance, next to it a large bucket of pearls in various colors.

White, pink, purple, gold, orange, and even rare blood red and black.

Each pearl was full and large; they would make stunning jewelry.

There were various herbs and rare minerals, some named, some unnamed, but evidently brimming with Spiritual Energy:

Such as Thousand-year-old Dragon Blood Ginseng, Red Blood Ginseng, Nine-leaf Ganoderma, He Shouwu King, Tianshan Snow Lotus, ambergris, Spirit Rhinoceros Horn, Yao Grass, and many more.

There were many others she didn’t recognize.

By the door was a huge wooden tub that looked somewhat like Spiritual Liquid, but more viscous, the Spiritual Energy even richer, exuding an intense life force.

Was that... Dragon Race Holy Spring?

Luna Sutton stared wide-eyed in surprise; Holy Spring was akin to the Sacred Pool of The Fox Clan of Veridia.

Kian Sterling had soaked in it for only three days, and his severed tail was completely regrown, a testament to its efficacy.

She blinked in astonishment.

The most extravagant were the piles of Beast Crystals like small mountains on the floor, the worst among them being top-grade blue ones.

Top-grade purple crystal stones seemed like they were free, packed in large boxes, piled so high there was no place to step, many had rolled out.

Mael Valerius stood by the "treasure mountain," his golden eyes gleaming, looking at her with a hint of barely noticeable nervousness and expectation.

He appeared like a child presenting his treasures: "Luna, look! These are all the treasures I sought out from the Dragon Clan treasury... uh, found. This large wooden tub contains Dragon Race Holy Spring; soaking in it will be excellent for postpartum recovery and aid in hatching the Dragon Egg."

"Plus, the Night Pearl won’t harm your eyes at night. And these Purple Crystal Marrow, Warm Sun Jade, you can use them for play or cultivation."

He introduced everything in a rush, his eyes full of apprehension, fearing she might refuse or reject them.

Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Kian Sterling, Zeke Veridian, Malachi Arcanus stood by the door, looking at the room filled with priceless treasures, their expressions complex.

Zeke Veridian coldly swept his gaze over the overflowing treasures, unable to suppress his venomous tongue: "Is the plan to bury Luna in treasures? Is she such a shallow female?"

Luna Sutton’s mouth twitched, thinking she was indeed quite shallow, genuinely tempted by these treasures.

Mael Valerius was choked by Zeke Veridian’s words, his golden eyes flashed with embarrassment, his gaze shifted to Luna Sutton to explain: "Luna, I didn’t mean that, just... just wanted to give you the best."

Then carefully added, "If you don’t like them, I’ll move them out immediately, won’t clutter your sight."

"Oh no, don’t do that."

She was instantly flustered at the thought of them being moved away, hurriedly spoke up.

Then realizing that her reaction was inappropriate, appearing too eager, she coughed lightly to cover her awkwardness.

"Ahem, uh, moving them back and forth is too troublesome, just leave them here."

The moment Luna Sutton finished speaking, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Mael Valerius’s golden eyes brightened instantly, like kindling igniting, even the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

He restrained his emotions, softly said: "Alright, everything as you wish."
