The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 104: Priest Apprentice
The orcs present waved their arms excitedly, cheering "Oh, oh, oh," and the atmosphere was exceptionally enthusiastic.
"Wow, Luna Sutton is so incredible, she actually discovered The Salt Lake."
"Luna Sutton? Isn’t she the ugly duckling everyone used to dislike? How did she get such good luck?"
"Don’t talk nonsense, didn’t you see? She’s become much prettier now. Stop calling her ugly; the leader won’t be pleased if he hears."
"Hehe, I’m just used to saying it. Do you really think she discovered it? Could it have been Corbin Crowley or Finn Arcanus who found it?"
"Who cares who found it; it’s a great thing for our tribe anyway."
"Maybe it’s the blessing of The Beast God for our tribe!"
......
The orcs and females present were chattering, their expressions extremely excited.
Suddenly, the way they looked at Luna Sutton changed, from disgust and disdain to admiration.
In the crowd, Mia’s face was as ugly as if she had swallowed a fly.
She stared at Luna Sutton with intense jealousy and resentment, her beautiful eyes twisted with malice.
Like a vicious old hag.
Why! Why! Why!
How could that ugly duckling have discovered The Salt Lake? Such good luck that it makes people crazy with jealousy.
Now she’s even being praised and celebrated by everyone, it’s infuriating.
The more Mia thought about it, the angrier she got; she wished she could rush over and tear Luna Sutton’s annoying face apart.
Luna Sutton had already noticed Mia’s gaze, a cold glint flickered in her eyes, but she didn’t mind it.
She looked towards Lyle Sutton on the high platform and suddenly said loudly, "Father, The Salt Lake wasn’t discovered by me alone. To be more precise, Corbin Crowley and I discovered it together."
This was the truth, and there was no need to erase Corbin’s credit.
Besides, she was not the kind of malicious side character who would hog all the credit.
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole place went silent for a second before erupting into an even louder cheer.
"What? Corbin Crowley has credit too?"
"I knew it, how could Luna Sutton discover The Salt Lake on her own? Of course, Corbin helped!"
"Who’s Corbin Crowley? He’s the strongest young orc in our tribe, Half-step Sixth Rank strength, it’s not surprising he discovered The Salt Lake!"
"But it’s surprising that Luna Sutton is willing to acknowledge Corbin’s contribution."
"Has she really changed?"
"Who knows, maybe she wants to please Corbin."
"Hahaha, I think that’s very possible. Didn’t you see how much better Corbin treats her now? They’re even living together."
......
Listening to the discussions around her, Luna Sutton’s mouth twitched.
What’s all this? She was just telling the truth, how did it get interpreted like this?
It seems the original character’s "everyone hates her" persona is deeply rooted, even a simple truth gets misconstrued as a hidden agenda.
Mia snorted coldly, so that’s how it is.
She knew there must be some reason for the ugly duckling’s good luck in discovering The Salt Lake, turns out it was with Corbin.
Maybe she just got lucky because of Corbin.
She felt a lot better in her heart, her face didn’t look as bad.
Corbin Crowley stood in the crowd, raising his eyebrows. His silver eyes glistened coldly in the firelight, with a slight playful smile on his lips.
He hadn’t expected Luna Sutton to suddenly mention him, but since she did, he didn’t mind going along with it.
"Oh?"
Lyle Sutton turned his gaze to Corbin Crowley, with a look full of approval and comfort, "So Corbin Crowley had a part too, hahahaha, excellent, not bad at all. You both are heroes of the tribe!"
Corbin Crowley nodded slightly, his tone calm yet polite, "The leader overpraises. I just did some menial work; it was Luna Sutton’s idea. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to gather so much salt, let alone bring it back to the tribe."
Hearing his words, Lyle Sutton laughed heartily, looking at him with even more satisfaction, his voice booming like thunder, "Good! Not arrogant, not proud, not complacent about your achievements. This is the kind of warrior our tribe needs!"
He turned his gaze towards Luna Sutton, his expression complex with a hint of affection.
This daughter whom he once disliked is now becoming better and better, not only more intelligent but even her appearance has become beautiful and refined.
Now, she has even made great contributions for The Wolf Tribe, making him proud as a father.
"Luna Sutton, what reward do you want?"
Lyle Sutton waved his large hand grandly, "As long as it’s something the tribe has, just say it!"
Luna Sutton was slightly taken aback, her gaze falling on Lyle Sutton’s smiling face.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to ask for.
What she wanted, Lyle Sutton couldn’t give.
However, she could use this opportunity to elevate her status in the tribe.
Only with a high enough status would the orcs and females of the tribe listen to her.
Whether it’s building kilns, making ceramics, or firing bricks, people are needed.
And these are all things she must do next.
If no one believes her, and everyone questions her, it could be very troublesome.
"Father, I don’t really want a reward."
Luna Sutton paused for a moment, speaking slowly, "However, I do have a small request."
"Oh? Let’s hear it."
Lyle Sutton looked at her curiously, wanting to hear her request.
As long as it wasn’t too much, agreeing was not out of the question.
She smiled faintly, looking towards the priest on the side of the high platform, "Father, I want to become a Priest Apprentice, to learn the knowledge and skills of the priests, and make a greater contribution to the tribe!"
Elevating her status in the tribe was only part of the reason.
More importantly, she was very interested in the abilities of the priests.
Whether it’s communicating with The Beast God, predicting fortune and misfortune, or those mysterious abilities, she was very interested.
In this world, a priest is not an ordinary person, not only capable of casting spells but also able to manipulate natural forces.
Some powerful priests can even fly and teleport.
But such cases are extremely rare.
She had a vague intuition that it was somewhat like cultivation in novels.
Whether it is actually cultivation, she wasn’t sure.
In any case, she was very interested and eager to learn.
Upon hearing this, the whole place was in an uproar, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief at Luna Sutton.
"She wants to become a Priest Apprentice? Is she crazy?"
"Not just anyone can become a priest. Even though she once received guidance from The Beast God in a dream, it’s not easy to become a priest, even a Priest Apprentice has its conditions."
"That’s right, a priest is the most sacred position in the tribe, not something someone like her, uh... ahem, not something someone like her deserves."
"I think she’s getting conceited, thinking that because she received guidance from The Beast God and discovered The Salt Lake, she can reach for the stars?"
......
In the crowd, Mia sneered continuously, her beautiful eyes full of mockery, and couldn’t help but taunt, "Heh, Luna Sutton, do you think just because you discovered The Salt Lake, you can reach the sky? You want to become a Priest Apprentice? Do you deserve it?"
Luna Sutton raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze briefly sweeping over Mia, the corner of her mouth curved with a hint of a smirk, "Whether I deserve it or not isn’t for you to decide. But you, with such jealousy, be careful not to get wrinkles."
Mia’s face turned pale with anger, instinctively touching her face, and then glaring over in humiliation and anger, "You... you’re talking nonsense, who’s jealous?"
She chuckled softly, not bothering to argue with Mia.
Then she turned to look at Lyle Sutton and the priest on the high platform, speaking calmly, "Father, Priest, I know my request is sudden, but I am really very interested in the abilities of the priests. Moreover, I believe I can bring more contributions to the tribe."
Lyle Sutton frowned slightly, turning a complex gaze towards the priest, "Priest, this..."
