The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 237 - 216: Detoxification (Part 2)

Logan Sterling was sent flying and quickly got up to kneel properly, "Elder, please see clearly, he was the one who poisoned me with snake venom first..."

"Shut up!"

Elder Radiant kicked him over and turned to Mael Valerius with a hand salute, "Please don’t take offense, Young Master. I shall personally fetch this year’s new Snow Sprout tea as an apology, would that suffice?"

Mael Valerius toyed with Luna Sutton’s hair, chuckling lightly, "There’s no need, I’m not here in Veridia for tea."

He spoke while giving Kian Sterling a sidelong glance, "Some people should know when to stop playing the victim." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Kian Sterling immediately buried his face into Luna Sutton’s shoulder, his seven tails drooping pitifully, "Luna, my wound hurts..."

"Didn’t you just say it felt much better?"

Mael Valerius suddenly closed in on Kian Sterling, narrow dark golden eyes flashing dangerously, "Shall I help you check your wound? Hmm?"

Before he finished speaking, he reached for his wrist.

"Mael Valerius!"

Luna Sutton slapped away his outstretched hand, only to see Kian Sterling taking the opportunity to snuggle further into her embrace, his fox tail wagging proudly.

She couldn’t help but find it both amusing and annoying, "Are you two childish or what?"

Elder Radiant watched the three intertwining like a twist, his snowy-white eyebrows twitching.

The young people these days, tsk tsk...

His gaze fell on Kian Sterling, thinking to himself: This boy has guts, daring to compete with that mad Drake Family kid for a female, good for him.

"Ahem ahem..."

He coughed lightly twice and then said to Kian Sterling, "Keira, you have already passed through nine rounds of the Heavenly Tribulation. As long as you win over our clan’s disciples in the festival three days later, you can make an exception to enter the Sacred Pool."

"Keira understands."

Kian Sterling played with the lace of Luna Sutton’s clothes, yet his eyes swept towards Mael Valerius, "But elder..."

He suddenly lowered his voice, his expression meaningful, "What if someone intentionally disrupts the competition..."

Elder Radiant’s snowy white mustache trembled, clearly understanding what he meant.

He then turned his gaze to Mael Valerius, speaking pointedly, "The Dragon Clan Young Master presumably would not be so tactless?"

Mael Valerius was playing with Luna Sutton’s strands resting in his palm, chuckling at the words.

This fox spirit just short of directly naming him, yet Luna still watched him warily as if afraid he might cause trouble.

His heart felt choked and uncomfortably stifled.

"Luna."

Mael Valerius suddenly pulled her into his embrace, his legs transformed into a dragon tail, subtly pushing Kian Sterling away, but his voice was gently chilling, "Do you think I should tear off the rest of this fox’s tails now?"

Luna Sutton was startled by his sudden action and even more by his words.

About to lose her temper.

She suddenly saw Kian Sterling groan, half-leaning on the table pale-faced, weakly raising the corners of his mouth, his fingertips lightly hooking her pinky, "Don’t be angry, Luna, I’m fine."

He was nothing but a considerate and understanding good Beast Husband, just to anger this damned dragon.

If he wants to be Luna’s sixth Beast Husband, he’ll have to ask permission from the other five first, humph~

Kian Sterling thought in his mind.

Suddenly a muffled "thud" was heard.

Turning his head, he saw Logan Sterling lying on the ground, his face livid, foaming at the mouth, hands clutching his throat, evidently poisoned.

"Cousin... antidote..."

He reached out tremulously toward Kian Sterling.

The whole place abruptly fell silent.

Mael Valerius squinted his eyes, "Oh, retribution in this life?"

Elder Radiant hurriedly crouched down to check, discovering snake scale-like black patterns appearing on Logan Sterling’s neck.

Realizing it was snake venom, specifically the unique venom of the Aethel Serpent Clan.

His brow instantly furrowed tightly, angrily asking, "When did you provoke The Aethel Serpent Clan?"

The Aethel Serpent Clan was sinister and cold, striking particularly ruthlessly, especially skilled in using poison.

The major clans generally kept their distance, avoiding offense whenever possible.

Elder Radiant’s words caused Kian Sterling’s finger to pause slightly, he had clearly used Rhys Blackwood’s snake venom on Logan Sterling, how did it turn into Aethel Serpent venom?

His fingers rubbed the rim of his cup, his beautiful fox eyes full of doubt.

Logan Sterling’s face had turned blue and purple, suddenly coughing up a mouthful of black blood, splattering on Kian Sterling’s snow-white hem, "Anti...dote..."

She raised her eyebrows looking at Kian Sterling, "Was it your poison?"

Kian Sterling blinked innocently, "His mouth was dirty, I just... accidentally rubbed Rhys Blackwood’s snake venom on his tail to teach him a lesson."

"Rhys Blackwood’s snake venom?"

Luna Sutton frowned, her eyes filled with confusion, "But he’s poisoned with the Aethel Serpent’s venom?"

Kian Sterling was just as puzzled by this issue, only shaking his head, "I don’t know what’s going on either."

Elder Radiant’s beard skewed with anger, "Nonsense, hurry and detoxify!"

Kian Sterling chuckled lightly, "The Aethel Serpent’s venom, what does it have to do with me? But..."

His voice paused slightly, pulling out a pill from his bosom, "I do have a pill here for snake venom, but whether it can detoxify the Aethel Serpent’s venom in your body, I dare not guarantee."

Logan Sterling took the pill with trembling hands, swallowed it whole, and the blue-purple color on his face gradually subsided, the Aethel Serpent’s venom on him cleansed in no time.

Elder Radiant’s eyes narrowed instantly, he turned to Kian Sterling, voice questioning, "Did you really use ordinary snake venom on him?"

Kian Sterling’s fingers lightly caressed the edge of the tea cup, smiling gently and harmlessly, "Indeed, it was ordinary snake venom. As for why it became Aethel Serpent’s venom..."

He thoughtfully looked outside the hall, "Maybe Cousin got involved with someone he shouldn’t have?"

Logan Sterling just caught his breath when he heard this, feeling so angry he wanted to vomit blood again.

But was smacked on the back with a tail by Elder Radiant, "Now go to the Cliff of Repentance!"

Logan Sterling was smacked and rolled on the ground, his heart filled with anger but not daring to speak, he quickly got up and scurried out of the grand hall.

Elder Radiant stroked his beard, his expression easing significantly when he turned to Kian Sterling, "Keira, since you’ve passed the Heavenly Tribulation, take good care of yourself in these three days and prepare for the festival three days later."

Kian Sterling nodded slightly, his seven fox tails swaying gently, "Rest assured, elder."

Elder Radiant said no more and didn’t linger here to be a nuisance, quickly leaving.
