The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 186 - 181: Rumors (Part 2)

"Did you hear?"

The fattest leopard suddenly dropped his voice, "The beastmen of The Wolf Tribe have all gone mad, shouting to everyone that there’s a curse at Cragfall!"

"Bullshit!"

The one-eyed leopard spat out a bone, "My cousin’s sweetheart lives in The Wolf Tribe, said that suddenly a pile of moving bones appeared in Umbraflow, the water is black and poisonous, anything that falls in gets dissolved clean, not even bone fragments are left."

The Rabbit Beastman who happened to be there to gather information was so scared that he scrambled away to report back.

Three days later.

The vulture messenger from Beast King City landed in The Featherwing Tribe and was immediately surrounded by a group of parrots.

"Oh my gosh! The fish at Cragfall have grown teeth!"

"Not true! My second uncle saw the entire mountain bleeding!"

...

The vulture’s feathers dropped three.

When he stumbled back to The Royal City, the rumors had evolved into "The Beast God showed a sign, demanding a live beast as a sacrifice."

Meanwhile, Nolan Sterling had successfully escaped back to Beast King City, his fox fur still reeking of char, black and scorched, pitted with holes from the toxic water of Umbraflow.

He hid where no one could see, transformed into human form, his handsome face twisted into disfigurement.

His clothes were crumpled and stuck to him, his proud long black hair was a tangled mess, resembling a bird’s nest.

"Ugh..."

Thinking of the humiliation of having his face smeared with filth made his stomach churn furiously, he retched against the wall for a long time.

He almost vomited bile, his face was so dark it seemed ink could drip from it.

"Your Highness?"

The beastman guards on patrol heard the sound and rushed over, followed by a dozen more beastmen.

Seeing the grand prince in such a sorry state, they were stunned, hardly able to believe what they saw. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Wasn’t the grand prince supposed to lead the beastmen to seize The Salt Lake at Cragfall? How was he returning in such a pitiful condition?

Thinking of the recent rampant rumors in Beast King City.

Said that Cragfall was cursed by The Beast God, demanding "live beast sacrifices," they shivered at once.

Seeing the grand prince in this state, they suspected the rumors were true.

Didn’t know how the grand prince managed to escape back, those high-level beastmen with him might have already become living sacrifices.

"Grand Prince, you..."

The beastman guard began to speak.

"Get lost!"

Nolan growled out a beast-like low roar from his throat.

The guards scattered like birds and beasts.

Not waiting for them to go far.

"Wait, all come back to me!"

Thinking of something, he shouted in anger again.

The patrolling guards turned around trembling, meeting Nolan’s fierce gaze.

"Today’s events..."

Nolan’s fingers clutched the wall tightly, his fingertips almost sinking into the cracks, "If anyone dares to speak a word, I’ll skin them alive."

The lead guard’s knees buckled: "We just changed shifts, saw nothing!"

Then, they scurried away as if chased by dogs.

Nolan’s face was extremely unpleasant, about to sneakingly head back to his sleeping quarters.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching.

He frowned and looked over.

Only to see Chloe Callahan emerging from the corner with a basket.

Both were slightly stunned.

Chloe Callahan was the first to react, running over in delight: "Grand Prince is back? Why didn’t you inform me to welcome..."

Before she finished speaking, her voice and steps came to a halt.

She noticed something suspicious and golden at the root of Nolan’s hair, only a little bit, but she spotted it keenly.

What is that? Why does it look like poop?

How could the grand prince’s head have poop stuck on it? Was it not cleaned properly?

She was extremely shocked inside, retreating half a step without showing it.

"Even you dare to disdain me, truly seeking death."

Nolan noticed her change in expression, furiously threw out Fox Fire.

Chloe Callahan hurriedly dodged, but her hair ends were burned halfway, slightly curled, emitting a pungent scorched smell.

Her face was exceedingly unpleasant, cursing Nolan a thousand times over in her heart.

But she dared not get angry.

Suppressing her anger, she appeared sorrowful: "Your Highness misunderstood me, I don’t mean to disdain you, just worried you might be hurt..."

Nolan seeing her burnt hair, suddenly found it more pleasing.

"At least I’m not alone in this disgrace."

He snorted, turned and left.

Chloe Callahan watched Nolan’s back disappear, stamping her feet in anger, gnashing her teeth as she clutched her burnt hair ends.

Just as she was about to leave, she spotted several beastmen gathered in an alley talking about something.

"Was that really the grand prince? Heard all the elites he led became sacrifices, unexpectedly he himself came back alive..."

"Shh! My uncle is a beastman from The Vulture Tribe, said Cragfall’s stones are eating people!"

Chloe Callahan listened in bewilderment, her ears perked up, moving half a step closer to the alley entrance.

Just in time to hear a beastman lower his voice: "...My nephew’s partner is from The Featherwing Tribe, said any creature approaching Cragfall would inexplicably go mad, then strip naked and jump into Umbraflow..."

"Splash—"

Her basket of fruits fell to the ground, bright berries rolling to the beastmen’s feet.

The beastmen instantly went silent, warily looking up.

"This female..."

The hyena beastman squinted.

Chloe Callahan instantly put on a sweet smile: "Oops, my hand slipped."

She crouched to pick up fruits, seemingly nonchalant: "You just mentioned the grand prince, what happened?"

The beastmen exchanged looks.

The hyena beastman suddenly chuckled: "Grand prince collected three hundred beautiful female slaves at Cragfall, now on the way back to the city."

Saying so, he grabbed two berries and ran, the rest scattered like birds and beasts.

"Hey!"

Chloe Callahan stomped in anger, suddenly noticing a leaf at the corner.

She hadn’t seen this kind of leaf before, and didn’t recognize the tree it fell from, yet it oddly shined.

Inside slowly appeared a scene.

It was Nolan stepping on Ghost Cry Vine, laughing maniacally, and getting smeared with muck by Jago.

Chloe Callahan was instantly petrified, utterly unable to believe her eyes.

She thought how could there be golden matter at the root of the grand prince’s hair, turns out it was indeed feces.

Though already washed, clearly not cleaned properly, yet she saw it.

Suddenly her stomach flipped, uncontrollably vomiting.

"Ugh..."

Instantly she threw up like the world was spinning.
