The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 247 - 222: The Sorceress Dies (2)

The scene shifted abruptly, with the young female cheerfully holding a red berry, chasing after him: "That’s not a poison fruit; I’ve tasted the sweetness..."

He turned around and swallowed it without hesitation, but before falling unconscious from the poison, he heard her panicked scream.

The Luna in his memory was always like this, committing mischief while crying more tragically than the victim.

The scene in his mind shifted once more, revealing the present Luna Sutton.

That night when he and Luna reunited in The Lower Domain, although he was not very clear-headed due to a blood frenzy, he still remembered what happened.

At that time, Luna calmly used vines to confront him.

When the two first appeared in Aetheria at Irisia, Luna even once tried to secretly kill him.

Later, when discovered by him, she pretended nothing had happened.

And the indifferent expression when she unhesitatingly stabbed a hairpin into his chest.

Completely different from the clumsy, mischievous, and tearful girl in his memory.

"No... impossible..."

Mael Valerius staggered back, his dragon tail sweeping over the sacrificial altar.

The crystal ball rolled to the ground, reflecting his ferocious face, "Luna just grew up..."

"Young Master..."

The Dragon Guards who arrived were horrified at the mess on the ground.

When they saw The Sorceress’s body, they were utterly shocked.

They couldn’t believe that the Young Master would kill The Sorceress.

She was the Great Witch of The Dragon Clan, a status not below the Clan Leader.

Mael Valerius fiercely ripped off The Sorceress’s head and stuffed it into the beast skin bag at his waist.

Then, he suddenly erupted, crushing the throat of the nearest Dragon Guard with his dragon claw, "Who dares to stop me?"

His dark golden eyes were filled with crimson, yet the corners of his mouth curved into a maniacal grin.

Whether Luna was Luna, he would verify it soon enough.

Taking the beast skin bag containing The Sorceress’s head, he rushed out of the Hall of the Shaman God.

His body transformed into a Torch Dragon and soared into the clouds, disappearing in an instant.

"Traitor——"

The entire Dragon Clan echoed with Horace Valerius’s furious roar.

...

The night was as dark as ink, inside a cave on the northern side of The Redstone Gorge, the crackling firelight from burning wood illuminated the entire cave.

Luna Sutton sat cross-legged on a haystack, meditating, contemplating whether to drink the three bottles of supernatural strengthening potion awarded by the system, and perhaps also study the spell compendium.

Thinking about the several men in the cave, she restrained herself from taking the items out.

At that moment, the system’s alert sounded in her mind: "Warning, warning, Mael Valerius has killed the Great Witch The Sorceress of The Dragon Clan. Before dying, The Sorceress exposed that the original owner had long since died. Fortunately, she didn’t manage to mention the host before passing. Now Mael Valerius is in a state of extreme suspicion and will certainly try various means to test the host’s truth once he finds you. Please prepare to respond."

Upon hearing the voice in her mind, she suddenly opened her eyes, cold sweat soaking her back.

As Rhys Blackwood poked the firewood, he suddenly looked up, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing."

She shook her head slightly, trying her best to appear normal.

Mael Valerius was already suspicious, just as the system said. When he returns, he will surely test her in every possible way.

Once he discovers she isn’t the original owner, her life will be in danger.

Fortunately, Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Zeke Veridian, and Malachi Arcanus were all there, and their powers had all surpassed the Seventh Rank Peak, each having undergone ancestral evolution.

Except Malachi Arcanus.

Their strength was no longer comparable to the past, and they certainly wouldn’t allow Mael Valerius to kill her.

But the problem was, behind Mael Valerius stood the entire Dragon Clan, the most terrifying power in Aetheria, a colossal authority.

If they went mad, they might really crush the entire Lower Domain.

And then annihilate The Wolf Tribe.

By then, even if Corbin and the others had stronger individual strength, they might not withstand the whole Dragon Clan.

Thinking of this, her heart grew more tense.

She began to ponder a strategy.

As for originally saying to take Mael Valerius as the sixth beast husband, just forget it.

With her life at risk, who cares about beast husbands?

He wouldn’t be willing either; he might even resent her for occupying the body of his beloved.

He might even bring a Great Witch over to extract her soul from this body.

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

That lunatic can do anything.

"The host needn’t be so nervous; you have the original owner’s memories and are aware of everything that happened in the past. When Mael Valerius tests you, just handle it well."

The system sensed her thoughts and timely reminded her in her mind.

Luna Sutton didn’t speak.

Although she had the original owner’s memories, it wasn’t an absolute guarantee; after all, she and the original owner were two different people.

Character, style, behavior, and mannerisms were all different.

The only reason Mael Valerius hadn’t suspected so far was that they hadn’t seen each other in over a decade, and it’s normal for a girl to change as she grows.

But once he becomes preconceived and realizes that the original owner had long died, yet she still lives, his suspicion will deepen.

At that point, it’s hard to say what would happen.

Just then, a dragon’s roar suddenly sounded outside the cave, which was particularly clear in the silent night.

"Heh, he arrived quite quickly; it seems he succeeded."

Malachi Arcanus was the first to jump up, aware that Mael Valerius had returned.

Mael Valerius stepped into the cave, covered in blood, the beast skin bag at his waist seeping dark red liquid, leaving spots of crimson as it dripped onto the ground.

His dark golden eyes locked onto Luna Sutton: "Luna, guess... what did I bring back?"

His bony hand pulled open the beast skin bag, and The Sorceress’s head rolled to Luna Sutton’s feet, its turbid eyes staring at her, bulging.

In the apocalypse, Luna Sutton had seen all kinds of disgusting zombies, so a dead head naturally wouldn’t scare her.

But thinking of the original owner, she still instinctively stepped back two steps, her face slightly pale.

Though the original owner was vicious and liked to play pranks, she wasn’t very brave.

Rhys Blackwood frowned slightly, kicking The Sorceress’s head away, "You’ve frightened her."

Mael Valerius watched Luna Sutton’s reaction closely, dark light flickering in his dark golden eyes.

"In the past, Luna couldn’t even bear to see a beast being skinned, yet now she’s become quite composed."

He chuckled lowly, his tone ambiguous.

Luna Sutton’s fingertips slightly tightened; indeed, the original owner was cowardly yet fond of causing trouble.

She forced a smile, "People have to grow up, right? I can’t always be the little girl I once was."

Mael Valerius slowly approached, the murderous aura still lingering, "But some habits don’t change even when one grows up."

Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes narrowed, seeing something odd about Mael Valerius, immediately blocking in front of Luna Sutton: "Since you avenged Luna and successfully obtained the head, we certainly acknowledge your presence. But why are you going mad again?"
