The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 123: The Path of the Priest

Closing the data page, she flipped to the system backpack and casually took out a bar of soap.

Gently sniffing it, the light jasmine fragrance was quite pleasant.

The original body wash was almost used up, maybe a few more uses left.

When the body wash runs out, these soaps can just take over.

Those ten bars of soap are pretty good too, washing beast skins will be much more convenient.

She put the items back into the system backpack.

She yawned, pulled the blanket over herself, and lay down, ready to take a nap.

Suddenly she remembered the matter from last night’s bonfire, wanting to become a Priest Apprentice, and the Priest asked her to come over today.

Instantly, all her sleepiness vanished, and she jumped out of bed like a carp and rushed out of the cave, remembering to close the door behind her.

The Priest’s stone house was in another area of the tribe, next door to her father, Lyle Sutton.

The witch doctor lived there too.

She jogged all the way there, encountering many early-rising Beastmen and females on her way.

Everyone who saw her froze for a moment, then their expressions became complex, and they started gossiping.

"Hey? Did you guys notice that Luna Sutton has lost weight again?"

"She has slimmed down a lot; she doesn’t look chubby anymore. I wonder how she did it, really envious."

"Did you know? I heard she stayed at Yael’s Cave last night. Wow, it was quite noisy."

...

Hearing this, Luna Sutton’s footsteps faltered, and her mouth twitched.

Sure enough, last night was exhausting thanks to Corbin Crowley, but did it have to travel throughout the tribe?

She supported her forehead, cursing silently: Those wolf ears are too sensitive, hearing from so far away? That’s really over the top.

Blushing slightly, she quickened her pace, heading straight for the Priest’s stone house, pondering how to handle the upcoming Priest trial.

She wondered if she had the potential, if her qualification was enough to be a Priest.

But thinking about how the Moonlight Stone had already transformed her, boosting her qualifications, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Thinking this, she felt relieved.

On the way, several females still whispered, staring at her with complex eyes, pointing and discussing.

"Corbin Crowley is the strongest Beastman of the younger generation, and Luna Sutton lazes around all day, incredibly weak. Can she really endure Corbin Crowley’s stints?"

"Wow, no wonder Mia turned green with envy. I heard Luna Sutton came back this morning holding Rhys Blackwood’s snakeskin, going for a two-for-one deal!"

"No wonder, Mia and her seven Beast Husbands can’t hold her down; she’s always after others’ males. It seems she’s finally caught herself in trouble."

...

Luna Sutton heard this, crossing her forehead in exasperation: The gossip in this Beast Realm spreads faster than 5G, truly impressive.

She couldn’t be bothered with these side talks and marched directly towards the Priest’s stone house.

Upon arriving, Luna Sutton found the Priest busy preparing for the ritual.

The stone house was filled with all sorts of strange tools and herbs, the corners piled with a bunch of Beast Skin Scrolls.

Evidently, they were the "Priest’s Manuals" passed down from ancient times.

The Priest had his back to her, seemingly searching for something.

Luna Sutton hesitated for a moment at the doorway before gently knocking on the door frame, "Priest, I am here."

The Priest turned slowly, giving her a deep glance, surprised to see she had lost quite a bit of weight since yesterday.

But he didn’t ask further, nodding slightly, "Come in."

Luna Sutton entered, quickly scanning her surroundings.

The Priest’s stone house was like a large prop warehouse, filled with all sorts of peculiar things, with something resembling a "magic broom" in the corner.

Does the Priest also moonlight as a sweeper?

It seemed the Priest noticed her confusion and explained lightly, "These are Magic Artifacts left by previous Priests, each containing powerful natural energy."

She nodded seriously, silently adding: Isn’t this natural energy likely for cleaning?

The Priest ignored her expression and picked up an ancient wooden box from the table, opening it to reveal a crystalline stone emitting a faint blue glow.

Handing the stone to Luna Sutton, he stated calmly, "This is a ’Spiritual Stone,’ it can test your resonance with natural power. If the stone emits a strong light in your hand, it means you have the potential to be a Priest."

Luna Sutton instantly smiled, isn’t this just like the Spirit Testing Stone from cultivation novels? Having a Spirit Root means having potential, no Spirit Root means none.

It seems this Priest really has a bit of cultivation flavor.

She clutched the stone, secretly activating her Wood Element Ability.

Instantly, the Spiritual Stone erupted in dazzling green light, emerald and verdant, almost lighting up the entire stone house.

The Priest’s eyes flashed with surprise, nodding in satisfaction, "Not bad, your natural resonance ability is strong, even better than I expected."

Even better than his old bones.

Truly worthy of being chosen by The Beast God.

Luna Sutton, unaware of his thoughts, modestly smiled, "Thank you, Priest, so does this mean I passed the trial?"

"Naturally!"

The Priest put the Spiritual Stone back in the box, turned to grab a weathered Beast Skin Scroll from a shelf, and handed it to her: "This is the basic cultivation manual for Priests, familiarize yourself with it first. After the ritual, I will begin officially teaching you."

She took the scroll and tore it open to take a look.

"...What the heck is this?"

She glared at the crooked mysterious symbols on the Beast Skin Scroll, unable to resist commenting.

She thought it would be a cultivation manual, but after looking at it for ages, she couldn’t understand a word, more difficult than advanced calculus.

The Priest glanced at her, saying blandly, "These are ancient runes, requiring heartfelt comprehension, not eyesight."

Luna Sutton’s mouth twitched, inwardly rolling her eyes: Isn’t this the classic "if you can’t understand, it’s your lack of perception" routine?

Is this Priest an old diehard critic?

However, for her "Priest Path,"

She reluctantly nodded, "The Priest is right, I’ll go back and ’comprehend’."

The Priest nodded in satisfaction, then said thoughtfully, "The noontime ritual is crucial; since you’ve become a Priest Apprentice, you must participate. First, move these prepared Magic Artifacts to the Tribal Square and arrange them in order, I will explain to you if you don’t understand."

She sighed, stuffed the scroll into her bosom, and resignedly picked up the pile of Magic Artifacts.

Why does a Priest Apprentice feel like brick-laying? Truly, everything starts from the ground up.

She jogged out, eyeing those strange Magic Artifacts with her peripheral vision.

Are these things really useful? She hopes the ritual won’t require her to dance with a ’magic broom,’ that would be socially fatal.

Seeming to sense her thoughts, the Priest glanced at her, saying lightly, "Magic Artifacts are the medium for Priests to communicate with The Beast God, not to be taken lightly."

Luna Sutton quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, the Priest is right, I will definitely carry... no, I mean, serve them well!"

She carried the Magic Artifacts, jogging to the Tribal Square.

The Priest, leaning on a cane, followed her slowly but actually seemed to be using a teleportation skill.

In no time, he caught up to the panting Luna Sutton, burdened with Magic Artifacts.

Now she lagged behind, gaping and puffing to catch up.

The Priest glanced at her casually, saying, "Youngsters, lacking stamina. You need to exercise more, or how else to face The Beast God’s trials later?"

Luna Sutton’s mouth twitched, muttering silently—The Beast God’s trial involves marathons? Then my Wood Element Ability was awakened for nothing?

Yet she obediently echoed, "The Priest is right, I’ll definitely work out more and strive to become an eligible Priest Apprentice soon."

The Priest nodded in satisfaction, and soon they arrived at the Tribal Square.

A stage had been set up in the front.

The Priest pointed to the center of the stage, "Arrange the Magic Artifacts in order, remember, mistakes will cause big issues during the ritual."

Then he explained the arrangement order to her.

Casting a look at the Magic Artifacts in her arms, she realized they even had labels: Artifact No. 1 – ’Eye of The Beast God,’ Artifact No. 2 – ’Staff of Nature,’ Artifact No. 3 – ’Wind Bell,’..."

This Priest is quite modernized, the ’numbering’ might be copied from some ’Ritual Management Manual,’ huh?

Luna Sutton grumbled but obediently arranged the Magic Artifacts on the stage in order.
