The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 141: Storms Arise

The system chuckled lightly, "Of course there are, but your current cultivation is still shallow, so the spells you can learn are limited. However, the advantage of wood attribute spiritual power lies in its abundant vitality. You can try spells like ’Wood Escape Technique’, ’Thorn Skill’, and ’Vine Bind’, which are both practical and stylish. If you want to have some fun, you can also learn ’Puppetry’ to control plants for battle, which is quite grand."

Her eyes lit up brighter, already beginning to imagine herself commanding countless vines and plants in a sweeping battle scene.

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "That sounds so cool! Do you have any spell manuals? Teach me quickly, I can’t wait!"

The sheepskin scroll was just a basic cultivation technique, with no records of spells at all.

"Apologies, host, I can’t directly give you spell manuals. However, you can obtain them by completing tasks," the system said, with a hint of temptation in its voice.

Luna Sutton rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

The system was just like a ruthless boss, and she was the poor employee being exploited.

She unhappily asked, "Tell me, what task is there this time?"

The system was quite pleased with her reaction, chuckling, "Ding! Host has triggered Hidden Task Six: Defeat the villain Kaelen Vance alone, and deal with the vicious female antagonist Mia. Task deadline is seven days, and the reward for completion is a blueprint for an ancient weaving loom!"

Listening to the task content, she was speechless and internally cursed: The system truly was like an exploitative boss, not only making her fight monsters but also deal with a troublemaker, treating her as a ’jack-of-all-trades’ player?

However, for the loom blueprint, she could only agree reluctantly.

"Fine, fine, I get it," she said, waving her hand, her tone unpleasant.

She accepted the task.

Now, at least she was a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Level, no longer just a wood element ability user with little combat power. Even if she couldn’t beat Kaelen Vance, she wouldn’t lose too badly.

Besides, Wolf Two was secretly watching over her.

As for dealing with Mia, it was a piece of cake.

In the following days, she trained in the cave, occasionally studying the Complete Guide to Ancient Pottery and the Complete Guide to Bamboo Furniture.

Pottery required building a kiln and suitable clay.

Not knowing where to find clay, she tasked the tribe’s beastlings to search nearby, offering a piece of beast meat as a reward for whoever found it.

Kids loved playing with mud, so they might know where to find it.

If adults searched, they might not succeed.

Having assigned the task of finding clay to the tribe’s beastlings, she caught sight of Mia hiding under a big tree, staring at her with a sinister look.

Feeling a stir, she pretended not to notice Mia and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Over on Mia’s side, hiding behind the big tree, she couldn’t hold back, her gaze fixed intensely on Luna Sutton’s departing figure, filled with anxiety and malice.

"What is that fool Kaelen Vance doing? It’s been days, why hasn’t he returned?"

Furrowing her brow, she unconsciously scratched off a piece of bark, gritting her teeth and cursing softly.

The original plan was to enact their scheme as soon as Kaelen returned, luring Luna, the eyesore, to a secluded spot to decisively eliminate her.

But Kaelen Vance’s delay forced her plan to be put on hold.

"Forget it, let’s wait a bit longer."

Mia stomped her foot in anger, unable to act without Kaelen Vance, left with no choice but to wait.

Returning to the cave, Luna Sutton continued her work, unaffected, merely leaving the system to monitor.

Days later, Kaelen Vance finally returned to the tribe with a large quantity of salt.

He came back with several other beastmen.

They just brought back the sun-dried salt from The Salt Lake and planned to collect some baskets and bags from the tribe.

As soon as Kaelen Vance returned, Mia hurriedly sought him out.

In a hidden and deserted corner of the back mountain, two figures huddled and whispered.

"Why did it take you so long to return?"

Mia asked impatiently, a trace of viciousness flashing in her eyes as she stared at Kaelen Vance.

Leaning lazily against the trunk, his gaze carried a hint of impatience: "Do you think The Salt Lake is nearby? A round trip takes time, not to mention sunning and transporting the salt. Do you think I’m like you, doing nothing all day, just waiting in the tribe?"

Mia was stung by his words, her expression shifted slightly.

But she quickly suppressed her displeasure, eagerly asking, "Now that the salt’s returned, you should think of a way to deal with that eyesore, right? The longer we wait, the more likely she’ll suspect something."

Kaelen Vance sneered, his gaze dismissive, "Why are you in such a rush? No matter how powerful she is, she’s just a female, what’s the worst she can do? However, you need to figure out a way to lure her to the secluded area in the back mountain, so I can strike."

Mia’s eyes gleamed with pride, she lowered her voice, "I’ve already thought of a way. That eyesore has been looking for clay lately, probably to make pottery. I’ll pretend to know where it is and lure her to the back mountain. It’s secluded there, you can lie in wait, and take action as soon as she arrives."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Kaelen Vance’s eyes, a slight smile played on his lips, "That’s clever. Alright, let’s do it. We’ll act tonight, under the cover of night, in a secluded spot on the back mountain. This way, we can make our move without disturbance. But there’s no room for error, or we’re both finished."

Mia sneered, her eyes filled with malice, "Don’t worry, she won’t escape. This time, I’ll make her wish she were dead, and no one will realize it’s us."

Kaelen Vance nodded, then turned and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he reminded her, "Remember, don’t give anything away. She’s been changing lately, we can’t make her suspicious."

Mia waved impatiently, "I know, just go prepare. I don’t want to delay any further."

Kaelen Vance said nothing more, disappearing rapidly into the dense forest.

Standing there, Mia’s lips twisted into a sinister smile, as if she could already see Luna Sutton suffering worse than death.

She didn’t linger, quickly leaving the back mountain.

Not until Kaelen Vance and Mia were completely out of sight, did Wolf One reveal himself from the shadows.

Clearly, everything that transpired was captured in his eyes, a hint of coldness flickered within them.

"Haha... truly foolish, daring to act against the young miss, utterly tired of living,"

Wolf One could almost predict how furious the leader would be upon receiving the news.

He left silently to report this information to Lyle Sutton.

Upon hearing Wolf One’s report, Lyle Sutton’s expression darkened like a storm about to break.

He shattered the stone table before him with a palm strike, standing abruptly, "Good one, Kaelen, and Mia, to dare to scheme against Luna."

His eyes raged with murderous intent, his voice as cold as frost, "Wolf One, continue monitoring them, report any movements immediately. Have Wolf Two protect Luna at all costs, not letting a single harm befall her. Furthermore, bring in Wolf Three and Wolf Four to assist."

Although Wolf One and Wolf Two should be sufficient to handle Kaelen, it’s better to have more hands just in case.

Daring to lay hands on Luna, they’re courting death.

"Yes, leader."

Wolf One took the order and vanished like a specter from the stone house.

Lyle Sutton stood in the stone house, his gaze sharp and fierce, a seething rage within him.

He had long been aware of the discord between Mia and Luna but never took it to heart, dismissing it as petty squabbles among the young.

He never imagined Mia would be so ruthless, conspiring with Kaelen to abduct and kill Luna.

How could he not be furious?

Meanwhile, Luna Sutton was studying pottery in the cave.

Suddenly, the system popped up, "Host, Kaelen is back, and has already met with Mia in the back mountain, discussing how to lure you there tonight."

Luna Sutton paused, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, "As expected, how is Wolf One doing?"

"Wolf One has already informed Lyle Sutton of their plan. Lyle is extremely furious and has also called in Wolf Three and Wolf Four to assist," the system couldn’t help but remind, "Remember, host, you need to complete the task alone～"

She rolled her eyes silently, this insomniac system never missed a chance to remind her to complete the task alone, as if fearing she would slack off.

Brushing the dust off her hands, her expression turned meaningful, "Since they’re in such a hurry to court death, I don’t mind helping them along."

She walked to the cave entrance, lifting her gaze to the sky, bathed in the sunset’s afterglow, it cast an aura of mystery around her.

"Wolf Two," she called softly.

In an instant, Wolf Two appeared from thin air.

Standing respectfully behind her, "What are your orders, Miss?"

Luna Sutton glanced back at him, a subtle smile played upon her lips, "Tonight, come take a ’stroll’ with me to the back mountain."

Wolf Two was momentarily stunned but then nodded, "Yes, Miss."
