The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 238 - 217: Arrival
As Elder Radiant left, the atmosphere within the hall instantly became subtle.
Kian Sterling gently stroked the rim of his teacup with his fingers and suddenly chuckled, "Luna, can you now tell me what’s going on with this face?"
Luna used to be extraordinarily ugly, but at some point, she began to grow more and more beautiful.
However, her transformation was gradual, and since Luna had Wood Healing Ability, which could detoxify and reduce weight, no one suspected anything.
It wasn’t until recently, when Luna gave birth to Corbin Crowley and Rhys Blackwood’s cubs and a serpent egg in The Wolf Tribe, that something happened, and she suddenly became extraordinarily ugly again.
She reverted to being as unattractive as before.
It’s only been a little over a month, and Luna is once again beautiful, even three times more beautiful than her previous peak.
The drastic changes, from extreme ugliness to extreme beauty, left him truly at a loss and unable to comprehend what had happened.
Luna Sutton was momentarily stunned by his question, and she instinctively touched her face.
Fingertips met smooth, delicate skin, leaving her unsure of how to explain.
The transformation she underwent was indeed difficult for others to comprehend.
It was fortunate they didn’t see her as a monster.
She was racking her brain, pondering how to explain her transformation to Kian Sterling.
Mael Valerius suddenly sneered and spoke, "This is a secret between me and Luna, why should I tell you?"
Luna gave Mael Valerius a flick on the forehead, "Shut up."
Kian Sterling watched the interaction between the two, and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
The fox tail gently wrapped around her wrist, the sweet and tender tone laced with a bit of cautious probing, "Luna, are you going to keep it from me as well?"
His demeanor also displayed a hint of grievance.
Swayed by his gentle tone and pitiful gaze, Luna Sutton decided to come clean and admitted, "I only recently found out that I wasn’t born unattractive, but was cursed by witchcraft to become ugly. Now that the curse is lifted, my face naturally returned to its original state."
"Witchcraft?"
Kian Sterling’s eyes darkened, his fingertips unconsciously tightened, "Who did this?"
Mael Valerius sneered, "Of course, it was those..."
"You, stop talking."
Luna Sutton frowned and glared at him, then turned to Kian Sterling, "This is a long story that’s hard to explain in a few words. In short, my face is better now."
The one who cursed her with witchcraft was The Dragon Clan’s Great Witch—The Sorceress.
Kian Sterling had always harbored resentment towards Mael Valerius due to the incident of tail severance and his abduction, fearing that if he learned that it was The Dragon Clan who caused her to be unattractive for so many years, he might do something rash. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
As for the old hag The Sorceress.
She trusted that once Mael Valerius returned to The Dragon Clan, he would tear her apart on her behalf.
A full level of affection was not just for show.
A dark glint passed through Kian Sterling’s eyes, but the fox tail wound tighter, "If Luna doesn’t tell me, I will find out myself."
If his guess was correct, it should be related to The Dragon Clan.
Mael Valerius’ sudden and inexplicable affection for Luna was indeed perplexing.
There must be some hidden truths unknown to him, but since Luna didn’t wish to speak, he didn’t want to delve deeply.
He would investigate slowly on his own.
Anyone capable of casting witchcraft had to be a priest or a witch.
If it’s not a priest from The Dragon Clan, then it certainly is a witch...
Investigation in these two directions couldn’t be wrong.
Three days later, at the Veridia festival, Kian Sterling unfurled his seven tails, and the Purple Gold Fox Fire swept across the venue, consecutively defeating seven prodigies from the sect.
In the final battle, he even burned off all the opponent’s hair, stepping into the Sacred Pool amidst a rain of blood and flames.
The Sacred Pool was encircled by nine White Jade Pillars, the pool water shimmering with a faint purple sheen, and amidst the rising steam, ancient runes could faintly be seen drifting at the bottom.
Elder Radiant stood at the highest point, his aged voice resounding throughout, "The Sacred Pool will be open for three days, after which it will automatically close. How much you can absorb depends solely on your destiny. However, everyone should keep in mind that the awakening of bloodlines lies in individual fate, and those who attempt to forcibly seize another’s fortune..."
As he spoke, his eyes slightly squinted, and his voice intensified, "will be stripped of The Fox Clan bloodline and expelled from Mount Veridia."
As his words fell, countless figures had already leapt into the pool.
Kian Sterling didn’t rush to enter; instead, he turned to Luna Sutton.
He lowered his head, lightly brushing her forehead with the tip of his nose, his fingers sliding from her wrist into her palm, entwining his fingers with hers, as his seven fox tails wrapped around her waist, forming a soft cocoon.
"Luna’s fingers are so cold."
The mist from the Sacred Pool blurred the dark undertones rolling in his eyes, leaving only the sugary laughter in his voice, "Can you wait for me for three days? If you get bored..."
